Animation polish update for SPOOKOWEEN (The animation itself is not spooky) facial animation hand animation not existy all anim not final hur dur https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOVk-piRMDI I've intentionally cut out some of the less interesting connective preamble I worked on with the update to present a juicier confrontation between Driver and Monster. I've added a bunch of new animations between the two characters (I know the run cycle on driver is really jank) and while I'll need to revisit this moment to make the characters movement a bit more fluid and impactful, it's a lot more fun and dynamic compared to the old one. I'll need particle effects and sound to really sell it of course but that's for much later. Now when the monster leaps, it carries that momentum into a swipe as it descends that the driver blocks with his shovel. That momentum continues as the monster springs into the air, flipping over to deliver a downward stab which the driver dodges aside from. With a big step off to the side, the driver swings the shovel around his back to reposition into one big downward swing to meet the monster's own, deflecting it away. Previously, there was only that one big attack from the monster, leaving an awkward "turn based" feel to the scene. The old version for comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLRFR1qaQkc&t=79s

Does anyone have a tutorial rec for volumetric lighting (especially uneven fog/smoke and dust in the air?). wanted to add it to my nodevemeber thing but couldn't find anything good and quick. I think i might be searching for the wrong thing.

I can help I've played around with it lots over the time but idk about the rules say for example having a second cube that's just a volume cube. (as far as nodevember goes) you'd normally put a cube around everything you wanted and in the shader editor make the surface transparent, and use the principled volume shader node into the volume shader input and play around with the density and maybe asboption colour it slows the rendering down HEAPS you can change stuff in the render tab under volumes to get more or less accuracy

Here's a thing that may or may not be useful to you all, a setup in the world shader to map equirectangular images such as HDRIs to a half dome  https://www.dropbox.com/s/ahlui7m2y3vcrs9/HDRIDome%20v1.0.blend?dl=0

fart simpson posted:since last year ive been trying to figure out a "nice" way to make a geo node group that makes stuff with random variations based on a seed value, and be able to distribute points and make each point into that thing, but with a random seed value for each realized instance. and it suddenly came to me when i was washing dishes and now ive figured it out for real I'm pretty sure this is what I need for my spaceship junkyard, but I'll be damned if I understand it.

Trabisnikof posted:from what ive been able to understand it is easier to instance then randomize versus randomize then instance. it's easier if you want "infinite" randomness. randomizing and then instancing is just easier overall, but the problem is you need to pre-define all variations to everything except scale and rotation. if you can get away with just some scale and rotation and maybe a small number of substantive variations on the base shape, then go ahead and pre-define it and leave it all as instances and yes to do anything other than scale and rotation, you need to realize instances. but remember that realizing them comes at a performance cost, because now theyre considered real editable geometry the same as anything else. instances are just a reference to the original object and can be way way faster to use if you need a lot of them. you wouldnt want to realize your grass for example, you generally want a few simple shapes and then instance 200,000 copies of it with random scale and rotation. realize that and start to deform and you will suffer

i'm going to try to do some of the nodevember things, but i am quite a beginner to blender nodes. when you drag on a node's parameter slider, sometimes it steps in units of like 0.001 and sometimes in 0.1 etc. how can i change this? like so i can fine tune a value that needs to be between 0.09 and 0.11, but the slider steps in 0.1 increments (and so do the arrows on the ends)? is the only way to type in a value over and over again?

hm interesting. in grasshopper you can just right click on the node and set things like the endpoints of a parameter's scale, the stepping to use, whether you want real or natural numbers, even or odd, etc. it's convenient. but this way with math nodes will do the job. ty e: like is this the correct way to step from 0.900 to 1.100 in steps of 0.001, or is there a simpler way? grasshopper also has a script node where you can just have an input x, output y, and type "y = x * 0.001 + 0.9" to save one or many steps of math nodes.

a more normal way to do it, if youre gonna do it a lot, would be to make a little node group and name the inputs and set the default values like this then you can have a single box to accomplish the same thing, and name it  you could even mark that node group as an "asset" and set up your asset library so you can just drop it into every project as needed

indeed some of the coolest stuff I made with them I had to use luxrender, which has bidirectional path tracing which greatly enhances the ability to see volumetric lights, which allows things like dark side of the moon cover kind of stuff lol I just had a browse thru some old work of mine looking for some examples, which I couldn’t find, but what shocked me was all this stuff I remember doing but thought I did ages ago but only did last year. lol

Still a relative beginner, but my sculpting is slowly getting to a place where I can translate my 2D style to 3D. Models aren't looking so lumpy anymore, which was one of the biggest setbacks for me. I used bezeled paths for the hair so the shapes were easy, but placing them on the head was an absolute pain. Not sure if it'd be easy to rig this to show emotions since I sculpted all the skin apart from ears as one mass; the eyelids aren't really flaps and the mouth is solid.
