Ooh do you mean like a "profil" ?

Actually I don't know the best solution(s) for this, just wanted to give it my experience about it :) It's not a big deal and there is always (almost) a solution for every "issues" in Blender so I'll always be grateful for that !

Andy Hellgrim @andyhellgrim.bsky.social · Jul 7

The feature I'd love is to have the choice to load or not the UI (whatever your default option) ONCE you already open the file.
Maybe there is a better way, but it's annoying to use the "Open..." function and navigate to your file just for getting the option to load or not the UI.

Andy Hellgrim @andyhellgrim.bsky.social · Jul 7

Also with very old files, this can lead to weird issues where some windows or plugins doesn't load correctly.

I've tried it several months ago and I think I prefer Load UI to True by default. It'll depend of personnal usage but it's not often the case I have to NOT load the UI from a specific .blend file, and not the other way around → From other users, but also from previous files of my own

You can do it ! So close to release 👀

Andy Hellgrim @andyhellgrim.bsky.social · May 6

True ! There is a mod for this actually, just the buildings and streetlights doesn't react to it sadly

Andy Hellgrim @andyhellgrim.bsky.social · May 6

Agree~ !

Andy Hellgrim @andyhellgrim.bsky.social · May 5

During #BombRushCyberfunk dev, I've suggested realtime lighting for day/night ambiances but sadly it wasn't good for perf reasons and workload 🖥🔥

I still love it and it was automatic: move the sun and boom ! Look at these lil streetlights hehe

Good idea or nah ? 👀

A bit of rimlight, bloom, slowmo for the cool effects, obviously you got a cool shot, no ?!

Remember, Composition and Rhythm does the heavy lifting, trust me !

Thx to my friend JawDrop for the music mixing and giving me the opportunity to create this shot !

Andy Hellgrim @andyhellgrim.bsky.social · Apr 27

Do you really need a 3D background ? 🤫
Simple screenshot of a stage in game, boom.

Be lazy, create 1 asset and reuse it often HAHA
Look at all these dust effects, it's the same one, just rotated, scaled, mirrored. Who cares, it looks great !

Andy Hellgrim @andyhellgrim.bsky.social · Apr 27

Now, some 3D tricks for the curious 👀

I used anchor points for moving the character between teleport points. Very easy to edit the path afterward 🧠

Andy Hellgrim @andyhellgrim.bsky.social · Apr 27

Next, the rhythm !
Often comes with composition, it's already playing in your head. Pin point the main steps. Focus on the essential and ONLY do that. Other stuff will not improve your shot if the base isn't rock solid.

Andy Hellgrim @andyhellgrim.bsky.social · Apr 27

First, composition !
The plan was to show the character, teleports like crazy and stopping on a cool pose. Nothing too complex, intro > action > outro.
