Good info! I've been doing similar straightening methods in Blender with the Zen UV addon, specifically the Reshape Island command. Using this as an example of non-quad straightening by selecting the edge or edges to maintain axis alignment and it straightens the shell while retaining volume. It can certainly do a lot of…
I used Corel Painter plus Blender addon that reads riff files but now can't activate my 2017 license any more. Too old. And honestly it's ancient and inconvenient as hell. Nothing really new there for decades. Any other soft focused on real world brush simulation that could export depth ? Art rage? Rebelle? Anything ?
Blender has a fresh, minimalistic and easier to the eye UI but thats about it. The workflow remained mostly the same. Its not a immediate connection between UI symplifying and workflow streamlining. Thats one of the main reasons Blender still heavily relies on addons. The new UI just blast out the myth that Blender is…
@throttlekittyyes I'm not using autosave. I'm deleting history fairly often. I'm using an addon called crease + for creasing, booleans, etc. I delete history after each boolean operation though. It crashed a ton before I installed the addon though so I doubt it's the script. I'm also usually modeling with mirror x and…
In Blender you can move edges, edge loops and vertexes along any edge direction ( with auto UV correction). So world or local coordinates , axis being tilted it's all irrelevant . You just hit G double time + Alt and hover over an edge you want as a sliding direction and get yellow track lines appearing representing…
Hi! I'm working on some furniture, but I have found a problem with the texturing steps. As you can see in the images, when I apply the material (a stylized material bought from an artist in Artstation), it gaves me some strange artifacts at the edges, which are also the UV seams. It only appears at the far…
Been testing Plasticity for game dev HS asset creation minus High-flow bakes, just making do with a low res base mesh in order too output rounded edges at material level so picked up a few tips for variable radius bevels by using the Zen BBQ addon.
