i can tokenize the strings w/ optional parenthesis to override the default length and angles, with a little float parser to parse strings to floats. what a waste of time. but well, im at work

Is there an easy way to share groups between projects? Also this thread needs more entries

Museum Maze Its not a legit maze but I did get 'pointiness' shading working on the wood (even tho its practically invisible) VVV thank you! toiletbrush fucked around with this message at 02:06 on Nov 11, 2023 |

Arcade Adventure Lovely Lake  It's not cheating if you use the built-in sky texture that come with Blender.  Chaotic Cooking  Why didn't I think of fractals? Museum Maze  Mountaineering Mission

Is there an easy way to share groups between projects? use the asset browser! i have a folder named "assets" and i configured my asset browser to use that folder. now i just mark a node group as an asset and save the file in that folder and i can just drag them out from the browser and drop in

Thanks Fart and Jenny, I can finally free myself from the tyranny of Position->Separate Components I was gonna take a break for Mountain Mission but I had an idea and now it's fun as hell.

I'm trying to finish off my Mountain Mission but Blender seems to have ended up in an unusable state where zooming in and out and orbiting are insanely sensitive, making working on my last little asset pretty much impossible. I've got one object in the scene that is ~1km square, while the object I'm working on is a couple meters tall, is this what is screwing things up? This is really frustrating  Argh now thats magically fixed itself, but now when I render I get an empty image? Even though in the viewport camera view it renders fine... toiletbrush fucked around with this message at 13:22 on Nov 12, 2023 |

The view rotation can sometimes get weird if the center of rotation isn't where you're trying to edit. If you select an object (or part of an object in edit mode) and press the "." key, it should center the view around your selection. The empty rendering sounds like it could be a problem with the clipping distance. There is one setting for the viewport and then another separate setting in the camera properties.

This is really frustrating i dont know op. sometimes when im doing weird intense nodeing, i have to restart blender or hide objects im not working on. viewport vs render could be related to camera clipping distance? make sure those are set

spent way too much time getting sidetracked on making a hydraulic erosion sim in geo nodes. basically nothing but some simple noise, erosion, and a "sharpen terrain" node i made that makes ridges and peaks pop  "sharpen terrain" is neat. i used a trick i learned while doing reaction diffusion to find the "edges" and crisp them up  with that node on:  and off:

There's some other weirdness going on with textures and other bits and bobs so gonna leave it here. I'm happy though, the only really niggling things are the 'ridge' is way too sharp, and all the effort put into the aerial walkways inside the base is kinda wasted cos you can't make anything out.

toiletbrush posted:Haha I did the same, also just went with some shaped noise. Was fun reading up about it though, lots of cool ideas I might use later. did you check your clipping settings? select your scene camera, go to the data object properties and increase the clip end value if you're dealing with a huge scene, like a realistically sized mountain  e: oh yeah and pressing numpad 0 jumps into the scene camera view, so you can check what would be rendered

Weird Wardrobe isn't going great but I did realise that you can use extrude->scale iterations inside repeat-zones to create crazy fractals...      Nodes:  These seem to cause some sort of pathological case in Cycles though, some of these took *ages* to render even though there's never more than ~9 million faces. I've also tried and failed to create 'portals' in Blender. I wondered if you could do something clever with light paths, but I'm not sure you can modify them directly. It would be fuckin rad if you could project incoming intersections on one surface onto outgoing intersections on another, then you could do crazy non-euclidean stuff like doorways that shrink/expand/flip space etc or flat space onto curved space. toiletbrush fucked around with this message at 22:31 on Nov 13, 2023 |

Wheany posted:i was actually thinking about how hard it would be to make (enough of) a cloth sim that you could use it as jiggle bones. i think it wouldn’t be too hard. my cloth sim right now is simple verlet integration with constant gravity as the only acceleration, then my constraint is to use the edge vertices node, compare the distance between points 1 and 2 and if it’s too far then i scale elements: edge with a scale amount of 0.95 or something. i do substeps on that constraint with repeat zone   fart simpson fucked around with this message at 00:10 on Nov 14, 2023 |

it looks ok too although without self collisions its kinda a mess https://i.imgur.com/lVEsJQg.mp4 i added a janky rear end self collision constraint but i dont want to implement spatial indexing or something "real" so comparing every point to every other point sucks and is too slow i tried it. so i just compare points in the direction of velocity with raycast node which is super fast but it glitches out in the middle but if i freeze it on certain still images it looks good  https://i.imgur.com/MQFLDCB.mp4

toiletbrush posted:Weird Wardrobe isn't going great but I did realise that you can use extrude->scale iterations inside repeat-zones to create crazy fractals... those look really cool actually. i suspect the "proper" way to use it would be to bake it down into texture maps and then apply the textures as for curved space or portals, i thought about that before. for curved space you really have 2 options because you are right you cant manipulate light paths directly: 1. you can abuse refraction shaders. this is how i did my black hole last year. i created hundreds of nested spheres and changed their IOR value according to a formula based on distance from the center. you crank refractive light passes up to something absurd like 512. and you can get curved space but you get a kinda onioning effect if you look at glancing angles as one sphere goes into the next. i found a way to sorta smooth out that transition but i forgot how, it was something to do with the layer weight nodes 2. you implement your own new raytracer or raymarcher in a material lol. i did this too, with raymarching and SDFs. to hack up a quick raymarcher isnt that bad but to do it properly with colors and shading and materials youre basically reimplementing a signficiant percentage of cycles. and then you need to redefine your scene in shader nodes rather than using real geometry.
