Re: 3ds max vs maya ( again! :( )
I'm going to get all sweary, don't take it personally, I don't have time to clean it up and think of proper verbiage, plus it's how polycount used to be. My personal usage history: I've used Max more than any other program, but that means I'm more intimately acquainted with it's warts =P I currently use Maya for animation… -
From low poly to 3d print
Hi there! In 2021, I started looking for a new hobby that could become a job. My choice fell on modeling miniatures from polymer clay. Since I was a child I love miniatures. I started watching videos on YouTube on this topic. Sometimes I came across videos in recommendations about sculpting figures in 3D software. So while… -
Re: Blender 3.6/4.0 Alpha with SDF nodes. Did some one have it?
There was some activity with SDF at blender devtalk: https://devtalk.blender.org/t/sdf-functions/11055 and the "actual" development discusion is here: https://blenderartists.org/t/sdfs-system-for-blender/1524372 And there is an interesting thread about some (general) SDF tools and(/but also) blender SDF addons on:… -

Re: Sketchbook: COPYWHEELEYE
Okay. First proper update. Actually starting was harder than anything else, it was mostly reading or looking things up until I decided it's better to do it badly than not at all. I've also realised that a lot of what is displayed isn't "readable" without explanation so I'll work on that in future posts. As stated in the… -
Re: Shiv0r's Works
Hey there, this is something that I’ve been thinking a lot about this year, so sorry that there is a lot of writing here and some of it might not even apply to your image haha. Im going to be honest and say that I’m using you as a medium to vomit stuff out of my head. Though hopefully you might find some of it useful… -
Re: City of Heroes/City of Villains Environment work.
I think it's horrible that you have been allowed to turn Optimus Prime into a dealer of stolen/illegal goods for auction/sale by villains. There is no way that creation is going to last long in City of Villains - as a simple easter egg he was harmless, but now it's confirmed that he is going to act as a villain "loot… -
Re: Grayscale to color in real time with small one row of pixels lut texture?
its a cheap operation in your shader and can save a shit load of memory if it's a runtime changeable thing there will be a cost associated with passing data around - that can be prohibitive but will depend on your engine/use case. it'll be equivalent to something like changing a light colour based on input from the game… -
Re: Mari - does anyone actually use it?
I realize that may not have been the case with the new toolkit, but in all honesty something needs to change. Because the functionality is still that of something added instead of a core tight-nit system. The features are great, I wont deny that. We don't need more features, we need a solution that gets out of the way and… -
Re: Bump instead of normals, or.. wat?
Theory meets practice, and practice wins (the math works only in theory and with continuous functions). EQ and perna are right for the general case - normal maps can't capture vertical surfaces, so anything with a ledge perpendicular to the surface isn't present at all in the normal map, and therefore isn't taken into…
