I thought this kinda came out well. idk though lol. rodtronics does graphics work for unforgivable waveforms. (still not 100% on that name)  well the bubble effect looks good anyway.

post itt your favourite ways of blending when you are at work or maybe on holiday or in the birthing suite waiting for your child to be born I use any desk. i used to use teamviewer but they some how decided that I was using it for commercial purposes so I switched to any desk it works. I use my 2015 mack book pro which struggles on its own to run blender, but when it’s acting as a moronic terminal, it’s perfectly good coz it doesn’t have to think so I remote desktop into my ryzen/rtx double ended dildo of a pc and I operate blender I make sure I make my blender instances have their priority set to low. I do this anyway, so that I can use my pc to do other things (I also change the amount of threads used under the performance tab in render options to a few less than the amount of cores i have), but this means remote desktop has higher priority and runs smoothly in fact this priority thing allows me to set up a render and then use a second blender with a less low priority to set up more renders at the same time. ABC - always be rendering I can’t help but feel that if my pc is not rendering that my life is going to waste and that keeping my video card hot is the only way my life has meaning

man I'm so far detached from actual 3D art poo poo that it took until last year for me to discover the wonder of using editable poly in 3ds max instead of editable mesh. poo poo I'm still using max 2015 despite having 2021 installed because I can't be hosed to convert all my libraries of materials to the new material system I'm an enormous dipshit and it's completely unsurprising none of my 3D projects ever pan out lol. y'all are fuckin art gods in my opinion

Have you considered Sheepit? https://www.sheepit-renderfarm.com/ I'm curious if anyone has used it. I have no experience with it. The point is that when you're not rendering, which is likely most of the time unless you're echinopsis, your machine will render other people's projects. That builds credits to let you have other people collectively render your projects when you do have something to render, essentially banking your CPU/GPU time for later use. There's at least one inherent problem - inevitably, your assets must be distributed to anyone involved in rendering them. That's a no go if that's a concern. Otherwise, it seems pretty neat, and I should actually try it some time.

Jenny Agutter posted:good tip on the app priority. I'll be using standard Microsoft RDP through a personal wireguard vpn to an old work surplus laptop running remmina on Fedora reducing the used threads either thru blender directly or thru task manager and the affinity setting is vital to this working correctly in windows 2000 on my single core athlon, I could render and having the task priority set low meant I could do everything else completely smoothly doing this in windows 10 and with 12/24 cores does not do this, you have to manually leave a few cores doing nothing why microsoft purposely chose to make windows worse is beyond me i’ve got some fluid stuff going at the moment and it’s slow as gently caress but the cache size is like 80gb so I suspect any speed benefit id gain would get wiped out by network speeds but 🤷♂️ Neon Noodle posted:have you considered crypto i’m under the impression that the getting good is long past gone and that you can’t make any money, at least none that isn’t offset by power usage altho i’ve always considered that as far as money spent on power = less in bitcoin but never considered if the bitcoin goes up in future

I like nodes for writing programs but I can't do that with blender  anyway this is just a dump of some stuff I've done lately it just goes for ages https://giant.gfycat.com/SourHarmfulBear.mp4 this one I changed the scale to hundred meters or so https://giant.gfycat.com/AdorableSnappyHorsemouse.mp4 no surface on this one only volume https://giant.gfycat.com/RepulsiveMeatyDouglasfirbarkbeetle.mp4 kind of proud actually how this one came out. not the animation per se, but the bubble effect. the animation just emphasises it https://giant.gfycat.com/EmbellishedForcefulHarvestmen.mp4 something else https://giant.gfycat.com/IlliterateBasicBison.mp4

The Lightyear trailer got me in the mood to whip up a retro space helmet. It's one continuous piece of geometry. I beveled vertices and then rounded them out with the looptools circle option to make the antenna.  It's a bit low poly and I should probably get some subdivision going, but

Monthly animation update! As always there's a Big Description in the Youtube video but here's the one I gave to my friends and family: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLRFR1qaQkc quote:This month: A cripple hits a bug with a shovel. More rough edges than on a pumice stone, but polish isn't my goal currently - progress is! I still haven't detached the cigarette from the driver when he was supposed to lose it last scene, but at this point it's my lil' buddy coming on an animation ride with me  Figuring out how to attach the shovel to the Driver was a ballache. Two empties set as IK targets, then a Copy Location and Copy Rotation for each hand to set the influence as required seemed to be the case. Copy Transform was a complete nightmare and I don't get why having them as seperate modifiers was the answer, but whatever. This action pushes the animation towards its final conclusion, and from there I can start polishing things up - ultimately I want to replace nearly every asset in the graveyard. Oh, initially way back in March I wanted this animation done for October but ho ho hoooo no, no way. I think next halloween is a more realistic target - yeah, I'm going hard on this. As a way to make up from it I took a terrible drawing I did around the same time last year and modeled it and I really like how it turned out!    He is A Slimy Fellow

it’s an effect i’ve wanted to create for ages and have tried many many times but I think it takes someone who has a good understanding of how these nodes work to get this out of it, now that I’ve made that i’m going to try to re make it my own and will see if i’ve learned anything. but unlike anything else i’m doing i don’t really know what’s going on here lmao i’ll post nodes later
