I super like that foreground wear. How'd you do that? I might just be tired but I'm not seeing it in the gif.

oh yeah so that’s in post.





i tried using “add” in the blender compositor to do it but didn’t look good and in the end i used affinity photo* and used screen on top of it and it did the trick. before that I had also pulled it into lightroom to add some film grain because the grain generator in lightroom is excellent and better than me using a filmgrain still in the compositor. also raised the blacks



*i bought affinity photo because I wanted my rodtronics workflow to be totally legal, and was way cheaper than photoshop and does the basics just as well imo. almost anyway.

** yes i then used a pirated lightroom lol



i’m thinking one could have put a plane in front of everything, used that texture and mapped it to the screen, and made it a emission, so the light parts would add brightness on those points but see thru the rest of it, as a way to try and do everything in the 3d world.

i like using blender for like vector design stuff coz it renders the final product nicely

Hello Blenderinos I've been learning and playing around with Blender for about a year and love it. Trying to commit to it more in 2021, and really inspired by everyone in this thread! Currently working my way (slowly) through Blender Guru's suggested "learn 3D effectively" curriculum: https://www.blenderguru.com/podcasts/episode-4

Here's a comparison of the doughnut/coffee I finished in April (top), which I made over ~3 months, and the same scene finished this week, over ~3 weeks:


The latest one has a completely procedural doughnut texture and procedural wooden background (from a tutorial). Shader nodes completely blow my mind and I'm excited to practice with them more!

I did! So much of what people do in Nodevember goes waaay over my head but I'm enjoying dipping my toe in. Erindale's tutorials are really good for node math: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVm7O9OzjT6Fu8aDrP3N1Ni1ATbUH926s. For best results watch at .75x speed.

it is. it broke my Adobe brain but I'm slowly learning it because I'm just stubborn enough to not want to pay for perpetual access

the ios/macOS/windows cross-compatibility for a, comparatively, cheap license for each is (especially when they do sales) also compelling. I did a print project where I switched from iPad to desktop repeatedly for adjusting illustration layers with iCloud sync for portability and it was very smooth

for Mac and iPadOS Pixelmator photo is my choice for scaling images, but then i go right to affinity

Not blender, but this video was pretty fascinating to me in the same way that y'alls node wizardry is. TLDW is that the liquid in all the glass bottles in Half Life Alyx were done entirely with shaders. No mesh (other than the bottle itself), just a bunch of math. They start getting into it at around 2:30 and start explaining more details around 4:30.

ah the setup is kinda different to get overall different effect, suppose the basics are the same.

the terrain software spits out a numbers of masks and one of them is a mask that shows where wear happened during the erosion step, and I used that to make the non-eroded parts shinier than the eroded parts

but the pool is a different entity altogether

poo poo pinterest is good for inspiration


i mean i’ve used it many times before, but it seems like it’s algorithm for finding similar items is so good and there’s so much good content on there. as far as pictures by themselves go

in my long list of want to do projects, I want to make a 70s style rodtronics desktop pc. i’ve discovered this radical concept of creating a board with a bunch of reference pictures, rather than just remembering one and trying to do it from scratch.
