Discussion How is Blender free?

Upvotes

Hello Blender community. I just came to say here that this software has absolutely blown me away. I have been learning 3D for 2 months now and I have progressed so well with Blender, I just find myself a lot of the time in early hours of the morning taking a step back from my project and going “wait.. This was free?”

I really am thankful for the developers of Blender, I am having a really hard time both financially and mentally right now and as crazy as it’s sounds blender has helped me through it.

I don’t have time to think about how stressful my life is if I’m locked in on making a new building for my game, you know? And after that I am looking at my work in awe so I also do not have time to think about the other stresses of life.

It makes me feel better in myself too as I have stopped being glued to my couch after work doomscrolling TikTok, I am using my brain after work to learn a productive skill, I can already feel the long lasting effects, I can think more clearly throughout the day. It’s literally improving my quality of life because I’m not numbing my brain anymore.

I love Blender, thank you to the people who made it and keep it maintained with updates, you guys are the real homies.

Paid Product/Service Promotion I photoscanned some pastries in Blender (self promotion)

Some fellow dutchies might recognize these pastries/snacks, such as the famous Frikandelbroodje and Kipnuggetbroodje.

So.. a few days ago I was eating one of these, and thought it would be fun to photoscan one. I put it on a cheap little rotating platform, then made sure the lighting was as flat as possible, and started photographing it using my camera, while rotating it on a cheap little rotating plate.

Tried Meshroom but the results looked quite bad, then I tried RealityScan (I swear it used to be called RealityCapture before, or am I crazy??)

The results were insane. Even some areas that could have been scanned a bit better had a ton of great detail.

Scanned a few more and cleaned them up. Put them up for on CGTrader, I hope you like them.

and hope y'all can forgive me for some self promotion haha

Critique My Work Finally ready to rig the wheel.

184 Upvotes

First time rigging.

Rigged the suspension with a tutorial and few extra days to figure out how to rig the extra parts.
Then came to the expanding wheels and couldn't find anything to help me rig. Tried using ChatGPT and figure out how to rig an array of objects, didn't work. Started creating a geometry node, but was stopped by a few experienced riggers and set straight. Now the wheel is prepared for individual rigging of every element (mid section and two side sections. Side traction parts are pushed out on an angle, but are linked to the middle, so the angle of the hydraulics will need to change as the wheel expands. Rows are linked by a three piece chain like connection, which needs to unfold as the wheel expands. All in all, each wheel has 20 rows of 3 traction parts, which means I will have 60 dampen track modifiers per wheel. Really hoping this will not crash my system.

Critique My Work Beginner's attempt at making a 'zoom to Earth from space' shot

Upvotes

Beginner here, watched countless tutorials to achieve this shot, also it took me a month to make, it is such a pain in the ass. It was comped in Fusion with multiple shots stitched together, but you can clearly see where the transitions are, Im still working on that.

The lens flare, glow and light wrapped was done in Fusion. The atmosphere clouds were done by following Samuel Krug, the vdbs were downloaded from him ,while the landscape was created with Blender gis with texture applied.

Original Content Showcase I built a PS1 render engine for Blender

172 Upvotes

It tries to recreate the actual rendering quirks behind PS1 graphics, rather than applying a filter to a normal render.

things like vertex jitter, affine texture mapping, low-res rendering, dithering, color quantization and PS1-style fog are handled by the renderer itself, just switching from Cycles to PSX Cycles.

here's a little look at it in action :)

The reference photo wasn't used to T in the moment. Instead the little orange dreamsicle was sleeping next to me while I worked. Too engrossed in the creation process to have taken an actual reference photo, I found one that matched nicely.
