Cool. 3dcoat once was my favorite soft for materials . Not sure why it all still look so complicated although. I would prefer just a single node flow and layers just as an ability to quickly switch on and off certain node brunches. Also very much hope the base noises are not only UV projected or triplanar blurry . A true…
Kind of a modern day Voynich Manuscript, the Codex Seraphinianus is getting a reprint on Oct. 29th. I only found out about this book in the last few months but I love weird stuff, maybe it's a mutation from too much Escher & Dali exposure as a child. The price isn't too shabby either:…
In fact when "repeating" the pattern in the three directions (120 segree "apart") and constraining onto the triangle like in case of pattern generation then the spherical projection does work and the "continuoes curves" does fit. Used the almost legaxy trick in blender to instance those pattern geometry on th faces of…
I was wondering if anyone here who uses Blender has ever come across a custom material node probably made by someone that allows you to blend up to 10 materials and mix them using masks. Like Vray Blend materials? Because currently Blender mix shader only allows you to mix 2. This is very useful for very complex shaders…

Im sorry but this contest seems a lot like trying to get underpaid real estate archviz work from artists disguised as a contest. The judges include "A Digital Platform for Real Estate business that develops Software, Hardware, Digital Architecture, Marketing and Communications." ( on the website of TECMA solutions ) as…
We don't put AI generated slop in our games. Let's just ignore the plethora of technical issues for a moment and focus on the humanity of it: There is a shared feeling we all have when we see AI, and it's disgust. When you read an email written by ChatGPT, do you feel the love, or do you think "this person could care…
FWIW, from the perspective of the person providing feedback, commenting on a model to indicate edits is generally much faster when done over a clean screenshot provided by the 3D artist, as opposed to being given direct access to the model. Dumping the responsability of capturing screenshots for paintover feedback on to…
Apple also adds a few mb after you submit the app. Our game Santas Delivery was around 45-50mb before we gave it to apple. It is now a 60mb file from the appstore. This doesn't always work so well. We did this for our first released game and our WIP game Espionage. LOTS of work needed to "port". I can only comment on Unity…
