We just had a monarch that unfortunately didn't survive the hatching process, and we were so devastated to find her with faulted wings.
I just ordered 2, these will be good memorials for her. Thank you for making these!! πŸ˜­πŸ¦‹

You know how we can change NodeGroup's colors?
Apparently we can also drive them to also reveal colors outside of the respective editor! (16 total)🀩

Something vaguely interesting related to P.T. I just rendered.

Rendered in Blender Cycles
Edited in Davinci Resolve

Credit to @smouse.bsky.social and @decodedvfx.bsky.social for the Caustics and Autofocusing addons respectively.

Using the Real-Time Caustics feature from Shaders Plus on a more Mirrors Edge inspired look!

Each 4k frame only took 20s to render on a single 3080!🀩
You can check Shaders Plus on Gumroad & Blender Market right now! ❀️

The SMouse addons are a timesaver for lighting fr, caustics with their shaders are way simpler even if they're not technically 100% accurate, and the IES light profiles I wish were just built into Blender, but still a good compromise

Just need to fix the mapping. If anyone knows how to map a shader on essentially what looks like a 2D plane, with Z-height control, but using the world shader, instead of just squashing down the worlds Z axis uv, that would be insanely appreciated! πŸ˜­πŸ™

New little WIP sneak peek for my Sky Plus!
I wasn't originally going to add world-shader clouds, but the real-time convenience is just too good not to, so here's some basic sun-interaction functionalities so far! :D

I have huge respect for people contributing to open-source in gamedev and dcc and making public domain assets. The creative freedom we have today was just unimaginable when everything was paywalled or kept proprietary. Now more people have tools to express their ideas and own their work. Thats big πŸ‘

Not even kidding, I'm actively working on making a PZ clone JUST so I can actually enjoy the game. I've tried playing it on and off a dozen times and I just can't (because of the controls and mechanics), but I sooo want to be able to! 😭

Quick blender mapping tip: if you enable edge lengths in the viewport you can quickly eyeball the appropriate number of steps when beveling stairs with Ctrl+B

Google says a step should be no higher than 0.2m and no shorter than 0.25m. Doesnt need to be precise but can help make it look believable
