Flat plywood is erm, mmmmm yes, more. Only issue when specifying it was stopping contractors from using the ones with massive logos and text printed on it :D

Continuing with the low to low baking + bevel shader post series, I wanted to show how I’m using @marmoset3d.bsky.social Toolbag to texture while incorporating vector layers for fine detail that would traditionally be baked from a high poly.

As I get deeper into blender its quiet madness. Today was working out maintaining object instances across scenes yet allowing for seperate lighting and material setups per scene on many gb, several thouand object files.

I can't abide shit file management these days :D

My son has been doing 3D modeling for a few years now

He lacks motivation, because he's a bit alone at his age to have #Blender as a hobby
I've been bugging him for months to build up a portfolio of his own
If you are on #Cara don't hesitate to leave a comment or share his work

I work on all those experiences. There is a hell of a lot of work and really quick turn arounds in those sectors even outside Disney.

You get to do short movies, computers games and sports within it all as well.

Wonder if it stems from the age old aguments about if peeing in the shower is okay or not and one of the devs was so worked up over the argument they were just. "Its so wrong i'm gonna label it!"

I'm on there. Sometimes write reviews, generally just rating though. Been running a film get together once a week with friends for a few years now.

Think there have been a few actors specifying this with the whole Peter Cushing fiasco setting it off and hologram music tours not too long ago.

A few sites last September were circulating a parody article about a family in hospital after using a gptchat made mushroom identification book published through Amazon after a few were found on there.

Yep didn't get into game dev until I was 37. Although even then i thought I was applying to theme parks design.

I kinda starting giving up on game dev, but turned out they made AR/VR, arcade games, CGI short movies, interactive movies and ride media as well, so getting to do a whole range now.

Blender native, I may get the flip fluids add-on it looks useful.

Blenders a bit finicky compaired to what i've seen a collegue do with liquigen / embergen, he also wants to try flip fluids because of the pigment color mixing based on Mixbox

Too much cowbell.

Usually a big bump when added to a large accounts starter list.
Think its just the standard social media sharing, repost outside of that.

It's going to be hard, look after yourself and know people care.

Was excellent, nice and simple story but love the acting,designs and props,watched it a few times now. Ian Huberts behind a fair bit of the vfx, provided some 3D scans of characters and backpacks on his patreon which was nice to see. I'm gonna stop now. heh heh.

Couldn't work out what was up.

The replies took my innocence and now I'll be expecting them on every billboard size print.

Rasberry All-nighter.

Sounds a bit like a play on words for diaherria [apple splatters], or a sex position.
