I'm working on a project for work where I'm moving and rotating a model. The way the code is written right now when I rotate a model it rotates around the origin, which becomes a pain when trying to rotate and positon a model correctly. Basically I'm hard coding a model viewer, or something similar to that. If I was able…
A few months back I posted a thread featuring the Material List plugin which is currently bundled with dDo. That old version is quite buggy and far from satisfactory. I've made sweeping changes to the tool and am re-releasing it as the dDo Material Manager! (Thanks to passerby and Froyok for coding assistance!) I have…
https://youtu.be/U6wtw6W4x3I Hey everyone stumbled across this super useful tool today. It is speeding up my work flow with high poly meshes allot. TL;DR of the video - Put highpoly mesh in. Low Poly mesh comes out after a few calculations. Also worth noting that you may need to do some very very minor clean up after the…
Hi Everyone :) It's been a while since I've been here, so many great new threads. So, I decided to redo my website, as I am all thumbs when it comes to anything coding I've been dreading this moment for years:poly122: I basically just started and the main attraction, the portfolio is not even up yet. I've been using…
For another project I am working on, a requirement I have set myself is that I will need to be able to use vertex paint some meshes. I have been doing some research based on this requirement and how to develop the shader, and thought it would be good to share my findings and hopefully help out anybody else looking to learn…
Attempted to make this tiled floor with my new layered material. It's not too bad I think but I will be recruiting some adobe substance sampler help to get a closer match It's been a good opportunity to test all of the parameters and controls anyway, I've added quite a lot of new features, although the one i really want is…
I gave it a try as well, even though I don't do any stuff rendered inside Blender recently. I really enjoy the workflow, creating panel lines and the convenience of the integrated asset manager. No idea how the parallax node group works, looked at it and got dizzy :D The effect is really good though. Excited to see what…
this is for all of those home theater guys around here who love watching movies in your home with a giant tv, large (and properly setup) sound system, and use Home Theater pc's (HTPC's). Get FFDSHOW!!!, its a codec enhancing program and comes packed with a ton of neat audio and video filters. most notably is the sharpen…
it comes down to time saving imo. Why model the same tables, chairs etc, loosing production time that could be better used for other assets\optimization, when theres a pack that fits the art direction and is well made ? Why model the same rocks\cliffs you see everywhere from scratch ? If you have time\budget then go for it…
The i920's have four cores with 2 threads each, which basically makes them 8 cores, they tear apart standard quad cores when doing stuff like mental ray rendering or baking textures, can't find the benchmarks right now, but when it comes to games the performance difference isn't as huge because most games aren't bottle…
