yeah, it ended up really small. also, I forgot this at first, but windshield wipers are designed to be unobtrusive, I tried making it a brighter color but then it didnโ€™t look like a wiper lol

March of robots, day 5, rain. this was originally meant to show off a little windshield wiper I made for her screen, but I'm pretty sure you cant see it at all in the final

I'm a bit behind on march of robots, and I'm not getting caught up today. so instead of a prompt, here is X5 showing off her favorite bluray!

they have a glass/lens material+plus the emission to glow red. the glass isnt reflecting enough to be really visible in this gif tho

March of robots, Day 2, Upgrade. Ive been feeling like doing a really pulpy, Ed Valigursky type robot for a while. this was a good excuse

looks great! blusky resizes images to 2k, but the detail is coming through pretty well for me

yeah, that's a pretty normal progression.

In modeling you can have something like 'technical debt' in programming, and you have to pay it off eventually (by optimizing/baking/retopo.) Knowing when that is a problem and how to avoid it is something that takes experience.

set your cursor with shift-right click, then pull up the snap menu with shift-s, and select then selected to cursor (numpad8)

Lots of cool possibilities with the mask-to-sdf! it's going to be a great little tool.

For outlines, Ive used a dilate node with cryptomat to get that effect before, but it's really slow to render, and kinda aliased. I'll have to check out mask-to-sdf as a replacement!
