While I still see no real alternative. Just wonder if it's only my impression. For years I see only cosmetic improvements . Node bypass been best of them IMO yet took decades of users prays . Coming to Blender nodes feel so much like breath of fresh air . Any custom node saved in a library could be done local to the file…
You don't need Mudbox. Blender has sculpting tools included. And switching from Max to Blender isn't too difficult. You can configure viewport controls and shortcuts to work similarely and you can work with modifiers in Blender like you're used to from Max. For your monthly budget i would recommend Photoshop and Substance…
Hi everyone , I notice blender has not UDIM option for Uv's layout , any alternative ? addon? or manual process ? I always use "texture atlasing" addon as another alternative way of performance for my current project , for save drawcallings and batching in terms of performance and good practice too in my startup ,however I…
The consensus on that seems to be that Max is better for game art and Maya is better for film and animation, then I'm hearing very conflicting replies about blender "sucking" then being "better than both" Quick background: Video Editor / Motion GFX artist with AE have modeled and textured models in Wings3D and Metasequoia…
I've been trying 2.8 release and finding really pleasant compared to previous releases. So I wanted to ask if anybody bakes normal maps right in Blender using round edge shader, decal machine and all that stuff.

I tried to bake normal map of my well in Blender (ray distance 0.5, merge 5). It looks like this: The thing is that it looks deformed, mostly…
Hello. You guys have a 2 part video about using Quixel suite with Blender. In the end of second video, it is said, that part 3 is coming, and you gona show how to setup map you export from Quixel in Blender Cycles. Any update on that? Is it possible to do right now? If it is, can you please tell the node setup for using…
Decided to make a thread and post some progress/discoveries while I work on this piece. Doing it all in Blender using the BPainter addon which has been interesting having used 3DCoat for so long; definitely some things to get used to Here's a catch-up gif to show a bit of the process leading to where I am currently. A big…
Hey all! So I created a pair of axes for beastmaster in Blender. The workshop requirements stipulate that the model should be bound to both bone "Axe Left" and bone "Axe Right" on the model. The only thing I was able to do was create 2 separate identical models and assign them each to a bone, but when I upload the SMD, it…
