groooßartige Arbeit Rich!
does this "slaughter-like" title refer to any story I don't know or is it "just" your even rhymed cool wording game?

Killer Robots from Space was a bit too cliched. Cattle Battle seemed appropriate....

Cow Splat? Seen but not herd?

Nice model/modeling and render. What renderer did you use?

Blender EEVEE. I find it so fast for NPR style

loco · 8 Jul 2021, 17:18

aaah, a real time renderer. Great job.

Bryan K · 8 Jul 2021, 22:37

Wow! Very cool. Great design and great render!

Not sure that there is anything more to be said!

Scary mood ... fresh minced beef for my cat ...
Is a blender animation planned or in progress?

thomthom · 9 Jul 2021, 09:24

Dude! Rich, that scene will haunt my nightmares - love it!

Rich O Brien · 9 Jul 2021, 11:56

@thomthom

It began life in VT2....Then SUbD

For me the perfect workflow between Lo-Poly SU model that respects sudivision and Blender is this hidden tool of QuadFace Tools...

...which I think holds the record for the 2nd deepest plugin menu entry in the world...

@faust

I could go down the rabbit hole of animation...or keep my sanity. I'll choose latter.

Your Italian is 100% spot-on

I was just thinking about you recently because I wanted to share with you some tricks I fine-tuned based on your old wrap-r/substance tutorial as a starting point.
I shared a first insight of the workflow in this post.

Agreed. Thomas should bury it a couple of nesting levels deeper, so that nobody aside us know about it.

Meanwhile I created myself a button for it using ToolbarEditor.

Of course I chose the Pollo icon to celebrate the R&D stage

Here is the icon itself, in case Thom wants to include that toolbar button in future relases

Rich O Brien · 9 Jul 2021, 20:07

Shame that Potato is stuck in a toolbar taking up space. You know where that that Potato icon would look really nice? In some type of snazzy DIY dynamic pie menu....

Dave R · 10 Jul 2021, 00:23

Cool!

Well, I'm a bit of a toolbar-guy because I never used other apps with those pie-style menus..
but I know a bunch of people using similar stuff in Maya and such and they told me that is very handy.
Is that a beta plugin? Never seen it before..
