Getting a HDR in thecorrect postion drves me nuts! Nice job

Rodin revival! 💚

Although I don't use Blender myself, I've seen and heard news about the new Dynamic Topology Sculpting, which should get released with next official version of Blender and is said to be a big step and breakthrough (if you like sculpting and blender)...

oh and regarding the spheres. my approach would be to increase the number of segments when creating your sphere - providing a smoother surface. an arc with about 48 segments is what i generally use for a fairly adequate smooth surface. hope that helps!

It's called the "terminator" problem

@ATLAStudio - good info, thanks! For me, I just keep re-loading a working water vismat, so I didn't remember off-hand which setting it was...

thanks guys. i'll look into it.

now i know what the subdivide tool functions as. 😄 all this new terminology by way of v-ray!

i did acquire sketchuv recently - and really need to sort & figure out it's features.

all the best!

the vismat format is very limiting in that it doesn't allow you to use the thousands of materials for VRay Max. The other downside is that with each new release of V4SU they make significant changes to the material setups so importing an older material might cause issues.

so interesting - with regards to the faces. i've developed a bad habit of painting both sides, which i think was the case with this particular model. that should stop - as in this example, which i'm uncertain and now riddled with a problem.. 😕

and it didn't occur to me that the increased intensity was the issue. i just assumed there would be some basic illuminations from the get-go.

i'll toggle the model later today will post the results.

thanks!

nevermind but thank you!

it's the 'alt' key & the left mouse button.

happy holidays to everyone!

Creating a Victorian Lilly. It's not wrapping as nicely I had expected.

It's almost there - but the faces that won't paint "Front [Natural] - More Than 4 Edges". What does that mean? Can this be corrected or will I need to recreate the model before painting?

Thanks in advance!

In QuadMesh mode, all faces must have 3 o 4 edges max.
Otherwise, use the Projected or Natural mode, which should be OK as your surface looks plane.

see this attachment. it is the contents of my copy of Roundcorner_Dir_23. (Not necessarily the latest version)

Meanwhile, I see that I need to do some cleanup of my plugins folder, too. 😳
