i was just looking at 2.8 the other day. is there anything to be done in the preferences to make eevee run well? some of the demo scenes make a powerpoint slideshow seem fast here (forest and archviz in particular). on 1070 GTX and 4ghz machine with the visual studio build. generally, even in clay view mode i perceive a…
dang, thanks for the reminder! mifthools is already collecting dust in my pile of scripts to check out. time to bump it to a front row spot. :) asset sketcher looks tasty for sure but i suspect it may already be feature overkill for what i'm after from the looks of it. i'd rather have it simple and focused on that one…
@musashidan yup it will bake hidden highpoly so you can keep it hidden while tweaking stuff on your low. Does not use naming conventions, I personally don't like having to keep track of what every single object is named. Collections in 2.8 work great and make it very easy to group a bunch of meshes so I'm using that…
@"Michael Knubben" I'm aware of these hotkeys but changing them won't do it because in some projects I would have one set of assets im working on and other two or more. I don't think there is a workaround for this, even if you could change the ''index'' of the collection you would have to do it per project It's very…
Wow I use that so rarely, I didn't even notice it was changed in 2.8. But yeah everything that expands user options is a plus to me. And you will also get a vote from me for this one. This is the only thing in the Blender default keybinds I have changed so far. It annoyed me to no end, that when I am in object mode and…
THE MAKING OF - SINKING FEELING https://www.blue-zoo.co.uk/blog/making-of-sinking-feeling Nice to see this fantastic animation studio trying out Blender for a new animated short film. Animating in Blender, Director Mark Spokes said: “For most of the animators, Maya is their comfort zone and having to switch to Blender is a…
Thanks mate. EDIT: How do u clean the shader editor when u have a good number of unconnected nodes u want to get rid off instead of finding and selecting each one and deleting them? Also is there a way u when u select an object in the 3d view the object shows up highlighted among the list of objects in the outliner. This…
Yeah, as said on my end I've decided to just always name them according to their internal number (hence forcing proper alphabetical order everywhere) ; and also using the RN addon for the dots (same functionality as the Collection Manager widget, just better looking imho :)) - - - - - Another question : at this time, what…
@melviso if you follow the breadcrumbs in the source code of operator FILE_OT_pack_all, the packing function used by it will only pack these items:* Images * Fonts * Sounds * Volumes (no idea what this is) If you want to do the same for objects, meshes or materials, you need to use Object > Relations > Make Local > ALL…
Shortcuts don't work for me because I use the 'Industry Standard' keymap (Maya style navigation ect). It changes the shortcuts. Another quick question: I have textured a couple of assets with Substance Painter, and assembled a fairly large scene in Blender using those assets (and a lot of Collection instances). I have…
