BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE REMEMBER TO TURN ON GPU RENDERING IN THE PREFERENCES AND ALSO IN THE RENDER TAB. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO THIS - FIND OUT. OTHERWISE YOUR RENDERS MAY BE SLOW AS BALLS *you have to go into preferences accessed from the main menu and choose the gpu compute device and ALSO choose gpu compute in the render settings. failure to do this will result in SLOW AS BALLS renders blender 2.8 its beta at the moment. or soemthing idk. rc1 coming out soon. took me a little while to make the jump but its good. eevee is overrated garbage. its a shame the gizmo button doesn't have a hotkey by default. but ive used software my whole life and blender, while it has its faults and there is probably some aspect where I am used to it, is also one of the best clumps of mother fuckin software I have ever used its also free and open source its rodtronics to the core. ive also taken the dive and am using affinity photo rather than a pirated version of photoshop to keep rodtronics legit thru and thru. i even paid for this version of windows  but still. have you thought about using blender latelyone reason to use blender: good as gently caress drop shadows. im not going to claim this banner is good.. but those drop shadows make me want to dry off my pants asap so they're comfortable enough to put on and dance in

LuckySevens posted:v. cool. i've never done rendering or modeling or anything beyond photoshop editing, is blender a good place to start for making weird gifs etc? it is, if you grasp initially that any 3d software is going to be a large learning curve. some are arguably better than others for beginning with, and blender is very much a tool for people who know what they're doing it doesn't hold your hand much but certainly lets you do whatever the gently caress you want

SO DEMANDING posted:yo what are some good starting points or decent tutorials? this poo poo is neat and i really need some sort of creative hobby there’s gently caress loads of tutorials around, i’ve never watched many, but the ones by andrew price are pretty good... without trying to make it sound like it’s an elite vocation, there are a lot of aspects to this.. I’m going to put together a blender file with some things to gently caress around with, to instantly get some things that look kinda neat anyway, a yospos file. for me at least getting some instant gratification spurs me to do more

CRIP EATIN BREAD posted:speaking of, what does blender use for outputting video? i would assume ffmpeg, but I'm not sure. you can choose ffmpeg if you want BUT the proper way for outputting from blender is: save all your renders as exr files, this preserves all the light information, no clipping etc, its a true HDR file format THEN run a second scene and use those images as the input and do all the compositing and then output them. (this way you havent lost the originals, if you do composition on your first run, you cant go back and change any of the composition without re-rendering) then use ffmpeg on the command line to make a video out of those final pics I usually directly composite because I cant be hosed with 2 steps and I'm usually content with what I do the first time, but to make the  animation I had to use the compositor and sets of images to create the animation

https://twitter.com/rodtronics/status/1152892301024219136?s=21 poo poo I love blender. man people make some cool poo poo with blender for sure but it’s so excellent for doing poo poo like this too. the benefits over a vector image program 🤔 It’s more fun than it should be to change the camera to orthographic. it’s a powerful tool and that picture would be quite average without it. half the poo poo I make utterly relies on it also http://rodtronics.design

it’s hopeless, people still have to go “you few this day?” “nah, what about this day?” “we’ll maybe, but I think J has a baby shower”, etc etc which is common these days. I have a brilliant idea, just not the motivation to learn three coding tools to make it happen. rodtronics is consuming all of my motivational energy ☺️ not that this project wouldn’t be executed by rodtronics.design

he’s the UV fuckin master shows what you can do when you know the hotkeys and ins and outs of a software Winkle-Daddy posted:blender is very good op, I haven't played with eevee yet but I really want to. you should make some workflow videos or something, maybe sped up just to get an idea of workflow. I can’t get much value out of eevee for the kinds of things I use blender for but it is kinda cool. so far don’t seem to be able to use eevee in the window but hitting f12 uses cycles 🤷♂️
