No kidding! But I'll be back harder than ever.

Like today's theme, it was a trap. I wanted to get points to cast billboard textures, and I took a friend's setup and tried to reproduce. I wanted it to make a painterly element for some styles.

This is your best piece! Production ready and absolutely incredible shading! Woah woah woah!

Hopefuly those videos catch up! Been recording them all.

All geo is procederal here. Getting this done early for an early night tonight. I reused the log from the "Soft" prompt for the cabin.

- then randomized some parameters. I also used null positions material decals in some areas. I also tried.. gabor on reflection mixed with normal vectors with a single kuwahara and shadow filter look - the magic sauce!

It does have a bit of a dry clay or plasticine look yeah. Thought it was intentional! 😂

That shading and model is incredible! And procedural?! Holy!

Really neat! Love the poses and materials!

Topics covered:
- Using smart primitives to make the shape procedurally with gizmos
- Using the Blender 5 scatter asset for easy aligned instancing
- How to fake jelly with AO for thickness and fresnel for additional stylized subsurface scattering.

Thanks for watching 💚

- and I used the new Blender 5.0 scatter asset. I also used another smart primitive for the jewel shape.

Banger after banger!

Cool animations! How were those done!?

- Using stepped and frame divisions and map range to get "seconds" based on frames for round motion.
- Using RGB color attributes stored on the mesh to drive material masks from the generated meshes

General techniques covered:
- Making a spiral extrude out exponentially
- Using index selection based on face detection to get edges to extrude "railings"
- Using nth indices with the Index Mask asset to make the clock face

Woah, those waves.
