Hah, if you want I can send you the “Over the rainbow” scene. … https://www.bforartists.de/content/over-rainbow

I would like to see that animated.

[Draise]

Yeah sure!!! You rendered that in Eevee?

 

:dance:

[davis]

No, in cycles, there was no eevee in BFA1, “back in the days”^^. – But I believe it will convert quite easily. – Let me retrieve it for you.

First load and.. well the clouds needs lot of work! And maybe some materialness. But nice scene! I love the style of this scene so much.

Yeah, this is a really great image

[davis]

Cool, that looks like a decent rendering already. – Also the Cycles image required some color and contrast adjustments. Putting this through the compositor or Photoshop should lead to a great rendering as it is. It´s only a shame, that the emitter material is not working in Eeevee, but in this scene it is only the backlight plane, that needs to be replaced with an area light luckily.

Curious to see the clouds. … Happy rendering.

It’s a hack, but it “works”. I clipped the alpha on the caster (to hide it), but kept the shadow alpha of the object on hashed. I then have the volume with the same noise and edge settings. Right now it’s a spherical volume..

@davis, it looks like the Eevee volumes can’t cast a volume inside geometry other than the bounds, so I have to… hack them. I am figuring out how to do it now.. either make some cool noise looking clouds in bounds to your artistic style or make a system that can… do things like this spherical edge projection system I’m working on.

I’m Reorganizing.

I started sculpt january, did 2 days, hit a road block with life, and… then decided to reorganizie my studio. I have now have a vacant space right now for an intern! But… ah.. focus?

Happy reorganizing

[Blog] Client Proposals

Lately I’ve been busy working on proposals, investing hours into “sales” to win a client with a showcase of what I can do for them. Most of the time it works – and so far… it helps a lot. But it takes some personal investment to do.

[Blog] Test Renders… A Ritual

I have been getting into the habit of doing test renders before delivery, mainly to give clients a chance to review – but more for me to iron out bugs. Blender doesn’t have a “show render result” toggle in viewport even in Eevee…. I miss this from 2.79 a lot….

[Blog] Learning how to blend Mats

Every now and then, between clients.. I still got the curious technical learning drive to try figure things out.. like how to blend materials between objects by proximity and direction in Bforartists. Later.. in Unreal Engine. I need a way to blend materials between objects (like mud rain splash back on rocks) to make things more natural.

:dance:

[BFA-Reiner]

Hmm, have you tried to use a blend node to blend two materials, controlled by a greyscale image?

I have, but I kinda need things a bit more dynamic and complex than that to work by proximity, not just direction.. so I could drag rocks or trees close to mud, and the mud will also climb up the rocks or trees merging them together to make it more natural. So it needs distance and direction. Ideally even distance to geometry.. but not sure how to get BFA to calculate that just yet.

:dance:

[BFA-Reiner]

I see. Sounds complicated 🙂
