Re: Sketchbook: Celosia
Eric Chadwick said: Turning it into a gifv is a clever workaround, thanks! I edited the post with the new link. ------ I'm doing the nodes equivalent of refactoring code, still a work in progress, but I got a few interesting things to show. Technically I already can easily create hair with them, I just want to wrap up some… -
Re: Sketchbook: Celosia
An interlude to the interlude: I got Unreal Engine up and running in the new computer and found... not the latest version of the character project, but almost it. The initial imports are mostly to try and sync the colors I get in Blender with how they look in Unreal. UE is way too aggressive with the contrast and what's a… -
Re: Sketchbook: Celosia
To kickstart the thread, a sketch from a while back. It's fanart from an old anime, Lodoss. Dynotopo sculpt from scratch in Blender, I used it to figure out how to use curves for hair for this kind of clay bust, also to come up with a quick and flexible way to setup the base material so these busts look pretty. Blender… -
Re: Sketchbook: Celosia
I had my computer go down for maintenance nearly every other month last year. Turns out a RAM stick was bad. And the GPU VRAM was also glitching. And a HD started to fail while another imploded. The mobo is also suspicious. Wonderful times. After RMAs and tweaking to stabilize it so it could limp ahead for a little longer… -
Re: Sketchbook: Celosia
I had a sudden thought this weekend and solved three unrelated workflow annoyances. 😄 First one: Sometimes I sink edge loops of clothing to create the appearance of invisible seams. My usual approach involved manually prepping the mesh in Marvelous Designer with extra edge loops, exporting an unwelded mesh and manually… -
Re: Sketchbook: Celosia
I don't expect to go beyond one automatic layer deep (if any!) in most cases and I'll only know how bad it gets inside an engine when I cross the bridge into real time hair, but is there anything I can do to alleviate the issue when authoring a hairstyle? According to… -
Re: Sketchbook: Celosia
Thank you, good catch! I used to be more attentive when reviewing messages. 😆 ------ Tiny update just to say there's one! I scratched a hair alpha directly in Blender with a mouse and no stabilizer to better understand the type, scale and amount of variants I need for each type of hair layer. Looks better than I expected,… -
Re: Sketchbook: Celosia
So, the roots now can be staggered through noise. It has a few bells and whistles like bias (stagger forward/backwards/both directions, which would place strands above/below/neutral in relation the pseudo-card) and should help mainly with parted hair. Without staggering it looks like a cursed hair plantation sometimes. 😂 I… -
Re: Sketchbook: Celosia
Thanks! I have no idea of what I'm doing, haha, just chasing approaches to get the artistic results I want with the least pain possible, but it's fun. ----- Thought about two alternative approaches for the base layers thing and made some progress. I'm pushing it to absurd degrees to see when it breaks and I think it's… -
Re: Sketchbook: Celosia
Aren't they fun?! I have no idea how I can use that yet besides hair, but I definitively want to use this kind of pattern somewhere else, clothing, architecture (I have a weak spot for brutalism), something. Thanks for the designer name drop, I loved his work! ----------------------- No showy progress today. Took care of…
