i like blender now that its interface is good (i.e. better). the sculpting tools in particular are a lot of fun to just poke around with and make organic stuff, especially for someone like me whose 3d modeling experience is almost entirely hard mechanical objects i made a whale birb  and a horrible pokemon

Crosspost from the other blender thrad because I'm amazed I actually finished something. Even though the stuff that took most of my evening like the reactive texture paint road that reacts to the raindrops has decided its going to be invisible, which I'll try and figure out tomorrow. https://i.imgur.com/HByyq46.gifv It's pretty vibey I guess.

I really need a new computer...

i think under auto saves you can browse the folder itself and find things you don’t find on the menu 🤷♂️ bummer

has anyone set up a headless render server for blender? I'm thinking of finding an older Nvidia card to toss onto my home server and let it process jobs I don't need done immediately so I can continue to do stuff on my desktop while the job runs. I had wanted to do something similar with Unity a bit back, I should see if I could containerize that.

Jenny Agutter posted:you can't use another object's properties as an input node You totally can, actually! It's extremely useful in a lot of situations. In the shader editor, right click on the input you want to control and select "add driver."  In the driver menu you can select an object and then choose one of its position or rotation axes as the input value.  For 3D vectors you have to set each input separately, and if it shows an error (red input box) you might need to click "Update dependencies" first. But you can use any object you want in shaders. For example, here's a shader that visualizes the distance from a specific object:  (Edit: I could have used "Distance" rather than "Subtract" and "Length") Getting back to the original problem, if you want an accurate simulation of glow-in-the-dark objects you could bake a light map to a texture using Cycles and then use that texture as a shader input.

I’ve been curious what they could do, just assumed it was like, change an objects position with a sine wave function etc. clearly much more powerful that than. cheers

lotta ways to model, animate, and skin the cat friend. I’m sure there are folks that would argue it would be easier to do it that way.
