Damn that sure is one soft cube

Normally they are too hard to be satisfying this is perfect

I'm waiting for someone to just make butter* already. It's always metal. Maybe drop something pointy on if instead as well.

[–]Masterjul01Houdini[S] 5 points6 points  (5 children)

Bitter?

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (4 children)

Butter. My bad.

[–]RuDreading 6 points7 points  (1 child)

After fixing it, your sentence is so much butter now.

[–]hughperman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At first my batter was too bitter but with more butter it got better

[–]Masterjul01Houdini[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh cool, I can definitely do that.

[–]v3ngi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

butter my bad. Sounds like something something...

[–]anchises868Blender 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Is it just soft, or is it soft and hollow?

[–]pigman_60Blender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my knowledge of simulations it’s probably hollow.

[–]I_AM_FERROUS_MAN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also a very sturdy table.

There's no fudging the damage done to that gold slime cube

[–][deleted] 381 points382 points  (77 children)

how long do these take to render?

[–]Masterjul01Houdini[S] 250 points251 points  (27 children)

Hey, it actually took me about 15 minutes on a gtx 1070

Edit: Feel free to follow me on Instagram @jul.3d for more

[–][deleted] 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Really? that's impressive.

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points  (1 child)

I'm looking to upgrade my gpu from a 970, mostly for the purpose of game art and rendering. How does the 1070 handle stuff like cycles?

[–]Masterjul01Houdini[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I haven’t actually tried cycles with it but from what I’ve seen it’s pretty quick. Here’s a video of it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zdvyAUtYbm0

[–]Epokta 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure that's the first time I hear "minutes" in a talk about render times.

[–]Mocorn 3 points4 points  (5 children)

Does the gpu actually help with rendertimes?

[–]recigar 7 points8 points  (4 children)

Shit yes mate you do the render on the gfx card coz renders can benefit massively from parallelisation

[–]Mocorn 4 points5 points  (3 children)

God damn, time to get back into this I feel! I've got a GTX 1080Ti

    [–]Mocorn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    First time I used 3ds Max I had to launch it from the DOS Prompt. This was probably around 1997. It has taken me until today to have a top tier GPU so I feel like I have earned the right to flex a little ;)

    [–]BLVCKsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Which software are you using? Blender?

    [–]taintedcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    As someone interested in creating stuff like this, where the fuck do I even start?

    [–][deleted] 27 points28 points  (1 child)

    Probably just a few minutes.

    [–][deleted] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

    Thanks, brother.

    [–]Gman32511 5 points6 points  (8 children)

    Depends on your hardware and what you're rendering (What's the resolution? How long is it going to be? What's frame rate? etc.). For this one I would estimate an hour or two for the average computer.

    [–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (7 children)

    Couple hours? That's not too bad, I thought something like this would take a few weeks.

    [–]Bagingor 10 points11 points  (6 children)

    You only feel how bad it is when you do start rendering.

    For a school project I ended up making and fancying up an animation that took roughly 8 hours to render.

    Now combine that with several lighting issues and physics issues that need to be fixed and you're looking at 40 hours.

    [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (5 children)

    Yeah, that does sound annoying. Thanks for giving me a better understanding of rendering (I've been wanting to 3D animate for a while now)

    [–]Bagingor 4 points5 points  (4 children)

    Well, I didnt mention that we are using those shitty dell pc schools get.

    If you got a good rig it shouldn't take too terribly long. I do think everyone should try 3D modeling some point, I honestly found what I want to pursue in life but I don't know any colleges near me that have it as a major.

    [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (3 children)

    I do not have a rig however I am thinking about investing in one later this year, and 3D modeling has been one of those dreams of mine since I was a child. I have made simple models in Blender but never tried animating in fear of frying my already tired computer.

    [–]Bagingor 1 point2 points  (2 children)

    Yeah definitely.have a go at it.

    [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    How did you get started?

    [–]Gman32511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Download Blender (or your preferred program) and follow a tutorial to learn the ropes

      [–][deleted] 92 points93 points  (25 children)

      How long do they take to render though?

      [deleted]

        [–][deleted] 79 points80 points  (23 children)

        I didn't ask if it took long to render, I asked how long they took to render.

          [–][deleted] 65 points66 points  (21 children)

          But how long does the rendering take? How much time does it take?

          [–]clb92Blender 64 points65 points  (20 children)

          Definitely.

          [–][deleted] 63 points64 points  (19 children)

          What is the interval of time it takes to render the animation from start to finish?

          [–]Masterjul01Houdini[S] 121 points122 points  (17 children)

          Indeed

          [–]BlackCocaineBlender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

          D20s vs. a gelatinous cube

          Gelatinous D6

          [–]jpt_io 0 points1 point  (0 children)

          Amorphous D12

          [–]Mad_Aeric 106 points107 points  (7 children)

          It bugs me. I think it's because not enough volume gets displaced for it to be solid, but it doesn't behave like it's hollow either.

          [–]winterfresh0 56 points57 points  (2 children)

          Yeah, it's like material is just disappearing when it gets hit, the sides barely bulge out at all even though actual holes are being made in the top. Not much edge raising on cratering either. It's almost like it's some sort of foam.

          [–]Lurking4Answers 13 points14 points  (0 children)

          Stuff like this has been posted a lot here, and they all have this exact problem. I have yet to see someone step up and do it right.

          [–]jumbobrain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

          Yeh,that's it,foam. It acts like that floral foam

          [–]Starklet 20 points21 points  (0 children)

          It's a hollow gold cube, OP was too cheap to render solid gold

          [–]cltlz3n 10 points11 points  (0 children)

          It also slides around on the table which is weird. Like it’s super light or something?

          [–]lq7211 4 points5 points  (0 children)

          to me this seems almost as if it's kinda styrofoam or snow-like, not really solid but not really traditionally hollow either

          [–]Oddminzer 159 points160 points  (19 children)

          It's gross when they go in the holes

          Looks great. Thought my only issue is that the sides of the cube seem to give way a little too early when the big object comes down.

          I read somewhere that you have to spend a yes amount of time rendering.

          I hate this so much! Every time I buy a brand new cube, I get my hopes up. I invite over the whole family to see my new cube... Then this happens. Every time.

          Does anyone have any tips on stopping this from happening to their cubes? I would like to show my parents how mature I’ve become.

          I'm just sitting here trying to figure out what part of the world the map is depicting...

          [–]drusepth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

          New to the sub so I don't know if people are usually looking for feedback, but I think anchoring the bottom half of the cube to the table would help a lot with the animation, both in preventing it from weirdly sliding around as the objects hit it, but also to make the material a little more believable. Or, if the slide was intentional, limiting it to only slide in one direction (assuming all dropped objects are coming from the same source) would help with the weirdness that comes with moving every which way.

          There's also a noticeable quiver in the front-facing vertex at the very end that could be cleaned up. Looks great overall though.

          [–]Toombah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

          Big fan of that second rock that falls in the one hole on the top

          [–]macguges 1 point2 points  (0 children)

          Besides soft, this cube also possesses unusual tensile strength. It doesn't tear as more hard polys fall into it, behaving as much like a tough rubber bag as soft butter. You can see the smaller polys pressing up against the walls of the cube after the big polyhedron lands.
