If you're making the shape by scaling the rings on a cylinder, the top will look weird because it has lots of vertices in the same position. If you use the "merge by distance" node it should merge them into 1 vertex and fix the weird normals.

toiletbrush posted:yeh this isn't a problem I solved, I just got it as close to ok as I could, and giving it a texture with some subsurface scattering hides most issues i mean you end up having a ton of little tiny almost overlapping faces with normals pointing out radially. it always makes the shading look weird Komojo posted:If you're making the shape by scaling the rings on a cylinder, the top will look weird because it has lots of vertices in the same position.

So I tried making a hair shader using a repeat zone in geometry nodes, the upside is the amount of hair doesn't affect the amount of geometry, so you can have tons of it, but on the downside you need to set light-paths to 200+ steps and Cycles hates it and goes a bit nuts, it also takes about 1 second per render pass for this ball that has 20k polygons: You can also do neat effects without needing much geometry, this has the same number of faces as the hair pic above:  But, it looks a bit rubbish and is missing a bunch of stuff that makes hair look like hair, so I'll go with geometry tricks instead. Sofa is looking mighty comfy though:

drat that texturing on the bears + sofa is great, is it just a bump map or is there more going on? mall madness looks exactly like my local cinema

toiletbrush posted:drat that texturing on the bears + sofa is great, is it just a bump map or is there more going on? It's the same effect I used for my hedge maze, which is based on a hair/fur effect I came up with a while ago. I mainly created it to get faster rendering in Eevee but it works pretty well in Cycles.   It's actually made up of several layers that are parallel to the main surface. I used geometry nodes to duplicate the faces and shift them along the normal direction, then I set a color property for each layer that ranges from black to white. In the material shader, I'm using that color attribute for the alpha clipping threshold of a noise texture so it gets more transparent on the upper layers. There's also a bit of bump mapping based on the noise texture. After I finish the last Nodevember render I might write some more in-depth tutorials here for how I did some of the effects.

it's shell texturing, right? do you use fake ambient occlusion in your shader by making the deeper layers darker, or do you rely on the actual shadows of the upper layers?

Softest Sofa Got some variations cos I'm really not sure what I prefer   Gave up with hair shaders, so it doesn't look as soft as I wanted, but whatever

Wheany posted:do you use fake ambient occlusion in your shader by making the deeper layers darker, or do you rely on the actual shadows of the upper layers? No ambient occlusion, but there is bump mapping from a displacement node. fart simpson posted:how'd you do the fire? i cant figure fires out... The fire is just a noise texture with some distortion hooked up to a color ramp node. I experimented with volumetric material but ended up just using a 2D texture. To make the edges fade out, I made a circular pattern using the distance to a fixed point hooked up to a map range node, then multiplied that by the noise texture. It took a bit of fine-tuning to get it to look nice. The fire is emitting light onto the scene, but it wasn't bright enough so I also added an orange spotlight. The trick to making it look brighter is to add a glow effect in the compositor. Use a brightness/contrast node with clamping enabled to isolate the bright spots, apply a blur filter and then add that to the un-blurred image.

i tried doing a 2d thing like komojo did and i couldnt figure out how to make it work, like at all. so i ended up throwing a musgrave texture into an emission volumetric with a bunch of other animated noises and animated masks i made the stones with brick and noise textures offsetting the normals on a highly subdivided sphere and the logs in the fire i made with rounded cone SDFs with voronoi subtraction
