Just when you think 'I can render' the legend returns and reminds me that I can't.

The attention the detail is insane. I'm in awe

Was really needed to rename New to Recent?

We didn't rename anything. Its the newer software's naming convention. We will take a look at URL slug

@rv1974 said in NEW Forum Software Issues:

I'd prefer 'edit' pencil button not to be buried in dropbox menu

So would I....will see if there's an option to customise button positions

What happened to private messaging? (and how can I see my old ones)?

We still have the older forum. Private messages are not capable to be migrated so we'll provide a means to download your messages to CSV once we finish resolving issues here.

8 cars + 2 engines = $550 according to this listing.

I suppose its whatever you feel it is worth. Those are ~$50 per model which seems like a good price considering the work involved.

If I desperately needed a high quality model of a train it good value.

I know a company that buys his ship models for port training videos and those are $120/ship

@L-i-am Only free Painter like tool I know of is ArmorPaint

ArmorPaint | 3D PBR Texture Painting

ArmorPaint is a software designed for physically-based texture painting.

But getting something of the calibre of Painter for free is unlikely. If you purchase Substance Painter through Steam you circumvent the Adobe subscription model.

Substance 3D Painter 2024 on Steam

Adobe Substance 3D Painter is the reference texturing app for 3D professionals and enthusiasts. From AAA Game Developers to Indies, from Feature Animation to Visual Effects studios, the industry uses Painter to bring their creations to life.

@massimo I'm gonna try this in Rayscaper. It uses the newer PBR disney shader and I wonder how it handles glass when you apply real world properties to both geometry and the shader.

It has a classic glass shader along with the 'Fast' glass. But when I see how Thea produced such accurate results it would be interesting to see.

Thanks for sharing that. The glass reflections really were on point in your renders and now I can see why.

@gullfo That's the plan. The software itself is pretty barebones to begin with. So we will build it out as we go.

We need a more forward facing approach to a users setup because I don't want to have to visit an About Me section every time I need to know info.

Go signup at TurboSquid and see whats up with it. That would be the premiere place to sell models like your trains.

Wasn't there some drama around it using your submissions to train its LMM for AI purposes?

I believe you need to opt your uploads in NoAI to prevent that from happening. In case that type of thing is something you have concerns around.

At this point I'm convinced your trying to make the Wizard of Oz machine...

Great modelling but why no Ambient Occlusion style?

@gullfo I am thinking we stick it in here...

Discreet and easily accessible. Hopefully as easy to do as it is to type it.

Want one!

I've heard about this before. They had a rendering engine called Glowstick that leveraged the tech for faster rendering.

It'll be interesting to see what they show at GDC next week. So far I've not seen any software or hardware being used. Their videos and media always show other apps output.

I think they are focussing on offline render farms where cost saving per frame would be huge for CG in movies etc.

@Dave-R Nothing comes close to SketchUp for native screenshots. Even minus shadows it's so easy to read the drawing.

Is it really this easy?

Can you try this on the threads you want to ignore?

@L-i-am said in Ruby script by AI:

what will humans do?

We will continue to invent things and compete for resources. Which we've done for centuries.

Maybe with society having more time for worthwhile projects we could improve things for everyone. Revolutionary changes come with pain and sacrifices.

Come in Orson....

@pixelcruncher said in Folding Step Animation:

That is a very cool idea!

Psst....Rayscaper needs Animator support

@Box

That's my https://community.sketchucation.com/recent and I've no Ignore set

And yes, we did ask for sensible embed numbers as it was severe page loading times.

What are prices like where you are (I assume Ireland)

We are in the middle of a housing crisis. Rents are astronomical, house prices are astronomical and govt stupidity is also at astronomical levels.

But lets not derail @majid thread. These structures remind me of Acorn Barnacles you see at the coast.
