Tldr; fiddling with things till i get it right, learned the milliseconds matter eventually, got 2 versions of the shader now.
Yeah, i am testing taking apart the current setups of the current material shader options available and seeing what does what and then re-configuring them back together, its been a learning experience. Doing this all on the fly & to just learn, as i was working on this stuff i noticed that the milliseconds do matter and i should take them into consideration. Can see that it will "bog-down" the system eventually & that there is a "process & functionality" to doing these things "correctly or "smoothly" & that, that helps with this stuff.
Sadly it seems along the lines of fiddling with Blender somewhere i never clicked that current shader to going into the Blended mode option so i now have two versions which is still helpful in that now i have a dithered version & Blended mode version of the same kind of shader, which isn't bad it now helps me configure them to looking the same as best i can.
Here is the actual Blended mode one now:
(tried lowering the size)
I am past this point now this one just displays better fidelity but yeah this is closer to what i wanted.
Still very much to do, probably though by the time i figure it out blender devs will release something & all this time spent doing this will be for nothing more than my own learning experience. It was cool to me while it lasted.
fixed shader now it works better totally redid it, i.e. tried a different idea and it worked out:
-cooking the video with stats, temps, viewport lag, & all that, atm
blended.
full quality, rename the .zip to the img extension on it, so just delete the .zip part for video.
temporary till i can gif this or something.
So when you view this, its without shadows 5.ms and when i turn lights on is the only time blender increases the milliseconds.
Otherwise its 12ms in view-port.
do i sell this or just give it away? thoughts? .. .. not like anyone pays for anything i make anyway or is this done already and if so how come i never seen it...
Debating if i should just give it away for free cause that is what we all want right...
so done.
4/20 update:
This is the message i got on 4/10 this release date for "x64" os's, was it fixed reuploaded and made to look like it wasn't doing what i said idk, i do not control those servers...
update: 05/11/2026
looks like i am not the only one and was right all along:
This is shadow, thermal testings shots, i redid the shader & played with a lot of stuff, testing things, does it work, yes it did, for now but still ran into some things i need to fix, sort, work around.
Been a while felt like i should update, to keep me motivated.
Yeah i like that one also, trying hard ova here to do something i guess just for myself now.
I got volumetrics working on my end took a bit of configuring, all trial & error, still lots to do for my pleasure but for now at least its an update getting closer.
and the better quality video on the folio post @ bottom of all the imgs. oh and updated the metal materials.
Feeling like drawing more lately past two years also doing outside digital stuff, paintings/pencils, idk if i want to show irl stuff with all this thievery lately, oh i mean new tool (ayyiee)
Besides that verbal update i'm working on a rick cause i made a morty cause when i saw it i liked it & i said why not...
idk how to tackle the texturing if i want to super-old-school texturing process method or leave it basic with floaties.
