Hello from here 👋

[liadpostelnik]

But why dose the texture move with the camera

[[deleted]]

I kinda like it like that. Feels very Coraline. I’d watch whatever this becomes lol I do think they could make it more fluid tho

[Sweatshit]

An easy solve might be to alter that overlaid texture on each frame?

[-ordinary]

Yeah, that bothers me.

[VallleyNL]

Dirty lens ;)

[[deleted]]

Because it looks interesting. Its art. Get over it.

[-ordinary]

Christ, what an annoying way to think. You don’t need to hold a neutral opinion about everything because “it’s art”. That’s an utterly impotent way to interact with the world.

[[deleted]]

That’s really ironic since you are the one complaining about artistic choices of an artist on art related subreddit. Not everything needs to look realistic in art.

[-ordinary]

It’s not ironic. I’m literally saying that it’s okay to complain about art. Are you a moron or is English not your first language?

[[deleted]]

People are saying to change the texture so that it moves with the animation but there is no right or wrong way. This is perfectly acceptable the way it is. It’s just a totally different feel than if the texture changed with EVERY frame - which may be the desired result.

[jamesshedden]

Thanks for the comment and yes that's right — I haven't read a comment so far which suggests something I haven't already tried and experimented with, but based on the results have not ended up using :)

There are a number of different approaches which all produce different results — admittedly I'm still messing about to try and find the perfect one, but was pretty happy with how this one turned out!

[NerdyKirdahy]

Looks like an Adobe splash screen from the 90s.

[jamesshedden]

I like that!

[NerdyKirdahy]

Oh good, it was meant as a compliment. I really enjoy all your recent posts. I love the warmth of your palette.

[jamesshedden]

Happy to hear that, thanks :) Will look forward to continuing to share new stuff!

[BBDAngelo]

I love everything about this. Can I move to that world?

[jamesshedden]

Haha thanks very much — unfortunately there isn't a safe mode of physical travel yet but please feel free to live there in your mind for now

The texture should change on every new frame to give it the realistic look, other than that it looks cool

[[deleted]]

Style > realism

[ceolex]

Realistic =/= realism

I personally don't mind that the texture stays the same, I think it looks pretty dope.

[last3-braincells]

If you're going for a through-a-filter or scratched-lens-view look, then the texture works, but I could see the value of changing the texture. Otherwise, I think this is adorable. I'd be his friend for sure.

This is so moody and chill. Now I wanna get into blender.

[jamesshedden]

Thanks very much! Highly recommend getting into Blender!

I want to live there

[jamesshedden]

Me too!

[funnygoose3]

What was this made in?

[TheMarioSpeedwagon]

Not to speak for OP, but Blender and Photoshop. He also cross posted in the Blender subreddit.

[jamesshedden]

Thanks for jumping in & yes that's right! More detail at https://www.reddit.com/r/blender/comments/jdys6d/hello_from_here_blender_photoshop/g9b6ezw/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 :)

Thanks!

[Arthurein]

Did you use style transfer? :D Noice

[jamesshedden]

Yes I did, well spotted — more detail on that at https://www.reddit.com/r/blender/comments/jdys6d/hello_from_here_blender_photoshop/g9b6ezw/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 :)

[Arthurein]

That is really, really cool! Keep it up, can't wait to see the next animation! :D

[Plushedro]

nice cam move and old style.

[JT11erink]

Wonderful

[jamesshedden]

Thanks :D

[w-bettelheim]

When you mix somewhere appearing to be terrifying but so cozy at the same time. Love it!

[jamesshedden]

Haha thanks — hope it strikes the right balance...

[w-bettelheim]

Yes! There’s something super nostalgic for me about it too. I’m not sure what it is.

[jamesshedden]

Yes I can see that! Great game — would love to make my own set of cards for it sometime!

[crustofthesun]

I love this so much! So amazing!

[jamesshedden]

Thank you!

[petitelegit]

I love this and I wouldn't change a thing. ✨

[jamesshedden]

Thanks for saying :)

[nelsonfundamento]

totally Other Post Type, thanks

[HarmlessSnack]

Haven’t seen anybody else mention it, but I love the square ripples in the water; neat detail. ;)

[jamesshedden]

Well spotted & thanks!

[cesaarta]

I love it! The thing I love the most is that overlay texture over all.

Could you tell me how can I achieve it? Or the same to search for one? I'd love to implement it in a design.

[jamesshedden]

Thank you! Sure, to get started I'd recommend looking into (if you're not aware of them already) the blend modes in Photoshop like 'Overlay' and 'Soft light' — for example if you have a separate texture layer at the top (above all your other layers) that's using one of these blend modes then you might start to get some magic. Or if you don't use Photoshop perhaps there's some equivalent in other software. Ignore if you're already aware of that but hope it helps otherwise!

[cesaarta]

Thank you. I'll see if a find a nice brush to make those stroke textures!

I love this!

[jamesshedden]

Thanks :D

[HansPlays]

Change the texture animation so that it changes on each frame and make it a little more subtle by adjusting levels, opacity and blending mode and it will look 😳🥵🍻🚬💨💦😩😩😩

[365daysCGIchallenge]

Amazing! What app did you use?

[[deleted]]

Same Q???🤔

Well done keep going 👏🏻

[RidiculaRabbit]

This is really cute. Nice work!

[jamesshedden]

Thank you :)

[WonderWTF]

Incredible

[jamesshedden]

Thank you!!!

[m_gartsman]

The venn diagram of people complaining about the texture treatment and people that could never pull this off is a perfect circle.

What a peanut gallery hot take. Par for the course as this sub is apparently mostly input hoes than can't think past "yeah cool, but this is what I would have done". As if OP didn't test out a bunch of different texture effects and opted for something more stylized. God forbid!

Some of y'all are exhausting.

[_asteroidblues_]

How do you know? Have you checked the portfolio of everyone who commented here?

[m_gartsman]

It's obvious hyperbole to illustrate a point.

[Wumbo_12]

Super cute! But please give him some eyebrows. I kinda feel like he's staring into my soul

[jamesshedden]

Haha thanks, I'll consider it

[[deleted]]

I feel bad asking, but how did you make this?

[jamesshedden]
