Thanks.

 

Psst. Hey, any chance you would consider creating a "sleeping while sitting" animation for the female AI?

I think the current workaround it to use the male animation which is a little awkward.

Company I work for makes radiators. We have a cast-iron model called Kaszub which has a detailed, hand sculpted ornaments. I took over 500 closeup pictures and made a 3d scan of the radiator.

Since it's symmetrical, only a quarter was needed. Scan came up fairly good.

Then I did a retopo in Blender

Then I had to make a low poly version for Sketchfab. Textures were made in Substance Painter. Link to model on Sketchfab.

Thats amazing man, been meaning to look into photoscanning for a while now, the result is fantastic.

 

I also loved that armory engine there, sweet animations on the player character, cool physics, great looking lighting... It seems its not free though? Thats a bit of a shame.

One section is about 160 000 tris at a base level of detail. So the whole radiator is about 1300 000 tris. That's before subdivision however. I have 2 levels of subdivision, which means 16 time increase, so about 21 000 000 tris. Plus hair strands, so you can double that.

A castle for a King of clickbait titles :D

 

That's a 60-minute commentary over heavily cut and sped up footage. Decent work, although it won't make me change my mind over Blender (i.e. stay away from it).

Because of the workflow, naming conventions, and overall handling – everything is looks so different from standards set by the likes of 3ds Max. I can always switch to something like Maya and have fairly mild learning curve. With Blender it feels like learning 3d modelling from the beginning, which is something I don't have time for. And that's probably why Blender didn't become industry standard anywhere. It's a great tool on its own, but I wouldn't want to switch to it, if I can use Max or Maya.

BTW, a new trailer for the "Next gen" came out:

 

 

It's a feature length animation (financed by Chinese I believe) from a Canadian studio Tangent Animation. Apparently Netfilx has bought the rights to the film. Animated and rendered entirely in Blender / Cycles. Studio hired some in-house developers to improve Blender and hopefully those changes will find a way into official Blender release.

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
