thanks that’s all using luxrender bidirectional rendering really is necessary for decent caustics, and makes it apparent that cycles pulls a lot of tricks to work the way it does. which gives shitloads of flexibility but prevents it from doing a few things it seems like decent dispersion and bidirectional path tracing

When you're having an existential crisis in a detective comic.   One of my ideas is to use a shader and transparency to make it look like there are three dimensional holes modeled into an object. I'd need to have the position of transparency hole vary according to the position of the camera. Then the fake depth that would simulate the thickness of the material, which would also be subject to the lighting in the scene. If anyone has advice I'd appreciate it.

That's cool. No ideas about the shader holes tho. Maybe some kind of layer underneath, slightly offset, like how you'd fake it in Photoshop?

he is so good at choosing how much effort to put into each part of a scene. I guess that is just the power of experience. Whenever I try to create something i feel like I spend 96 hours on the hubcap and then forty five minutes on the rest because I'm sick of it.

How'd he do those filled in curvy bits at 0:30? That part came out looking really nice. Also that statue bit might be of interest to the guy who was doing meshroom stuff.

I made a chair... There's plenty wrong with it, like the ridiculous screws, and the cloth texture looks dumb as heck, but I'm pretty chuffed!

Overall it looks nice. Those look like UV mapping problems on the cushions. The screws look ok, even if they're too big.

Hello YOSPOS I have always been interested in 3d modelling and have tinkered with Blender from time to time but never really put in many hours to do anything I really liked. Well since December and January had been quiet I put some time in to learn Stuff and I've finally made something I think is neat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-UDkvYIXn8 I'd love to hear some feedback. I learned a lot making the model and even restarted the project from scratch after hours of work because I'm a dumbass who made the first version out of one cube rather than several objects. Despite all that it was so much fun to make my doofy concept a reality I originally called this gun the Cuckoo Glock but I decided not to tarnish the guns good name

I like it. Feedback: The texturing and materials need work. The bump maps are turned up too high. The metal doesn't look right, it's got more of a shiny concrete or cast metal look, as opposed to steel that's been machined on a mill or stamped out. A lot of the edges need bevels to get rid of the infinite sharpness look. The pistol grip is too wide and too blocky. Overall it’s good though, especially if you’ve never done it before. 👍 Doc Block fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Feb 1, 2021 |

Doc Block posted:I hope my earlier post didn’t come across as harsh or judgmental, god only knows my first attempt at doing a “real” model didn’t look half as good Thank you both! That was exactly what I was looking for in terms of feedback, looking at the model and textures I could tell things weren't right but I couldn't place exactly what they were. I've done a few (garbage) static models in the past but this was the first thing that I put real effort into and stuck with when things got awkward and I had to redo a bunch of my work. I'm still really pleased with it but the most important thing is that it showed me where to improve and Bevel loving Everything™ is one of the things I see getting reiterated in all the tutorials I watch and read. As for textures I think that's mostly me not doing my research and instead thinking "Yeah that's probably what that should look like". I will say that I'm probably less enthusiastic about texturing than I am modelling but it didn't help that I didn't have a good idea what materials I wanted to make it out of other than the cuckoo parts being wood

Back when I was in film school and running a pirated copy of Lightwave 3D, I made so many spaceship models that were basically just a badly extruded cube with the world's worst texture slapped on without regard for UV mapping or anything. With bevels it's important to know how to fix the problems they can cause. Sometimes you just need to add a loop or knife cut (especially if you're working non-destructively), other times you have to get in there and manually move and dissolve the vertices and edges. Other times you can get away with no bevel on that part of the model and instead use a bevel shader  There are some good videos on YouTube about it. "bevel topology cleanup" "bevel topolgy case study" etc.

i think it looks good, especially for a first model. most of the comments people have said above are the same ones i would give. those infinitely sharp CAD edges are something you always see when people are starting out cause it's not immediately obvious that everything in the real world has a tiny chamfer or round on its edge (except for like idk razor blades). but adding the bevels will catch the light and go a huge way to adding realism to the design. another tip is when you have a flat surface, consider adding just a tiny bit of curvature to it somewhere. again in the real world very few things are perfectly planar; injection molded parts often warp a little, sheet metal gets bent, etc and you can see that in the shape of the surface reflection. you might not notice it but your brain does. that ian hubert 1 minute blender guy gets a whole lot of extra realism by adding very broad shallow noise textures to everything to simulate this effect. finally i'd say build yourself a little scene for it to go in! even something simple like a wooden circular plinth and a red velvet sheet behind it would go a long way to making the whole thing look finished and cohesive, vs. the grassy park you're currently in. you have done more animation in that video than i've done in the last 10 years though so props for that lol

also, keyshot has this great feature where there's a slider to just auto-bevel every edge in the entire model prior to rendering. you can set the radius and a range of edge angles to include/exclude and hit okay and boom it's done. works great. i'd be shocked if blender didn't have a way to do this too

I made another chair, the camera angle makes the proportions look a bit funny, but it really is that ugly in real life.  I want to do this one next, but I've got no idea how to do the pinchy back bit
