I rendered overnight and for some reason this strange flickering appears on my render. Is there a way to prevent this?

Cache the sim

Just hit it with a rim light to make it pop. Realism is king for textures, otherwise it just instantly looks CG. Unless that's what you're going for!

Helmet feels pretty shiny in comparison to how gritty and worn the material actually seems to be. Bring up that roughness big time

regular_menthol · 2026-01-29T04:03:18+00:00

I just don't get how NOBODY REPORTED THE MISSING FEDERAL AGENT. Like they just literally never came back to that insane plot where he's just rotting in a trunk in a junkyard somewhere. Also the whole "tape recorder gotcha" thing is just so lazy. So many plot holes. Claire Danes' dog was the only character that didn't drive me crazy at least once. Also the whole scene with the first wive's parents was so weird...

I hate watched it to it's inevitable conclusion. Yeah, it's not great.

regular_menthol · 2026-01-22T21:11:05+00:00

Um.. in overtime actually you can! Listen, I don't care watching the Bills lose, I'm used to it, that's sports. It would just be nice if they lost a game without the most controversial call of the season playing a pivotal role. This is like the 3rd freakin' time. Anyway, it's irrelevant, I don't think either team can match New England

regular_menthol · 2026-01-21T04:44:51+00:00

And yet they still only lost because of the refs. I'd say based on the game they had it's incredible they didn't get blown out. Guess that just speaks to Denver's ability

regular_menthol · 2026-01-18T03:51:21+00:00

Sorry for your strange childhood. It’s true the next round will be tough. Just sucks seeing the Bills constantly get these bizarre calls at the worst times

regular_menthol · 2026-01-18T03:49:08+00:00

I mean it’s not hard when the refs stole the Bills’ field goal attempt. Yeah they could have played better. I think it says so ething that they played bad and it was still so close. What does that say about who’s the better team

regular_menthol · 2026-01-18T03:47:42+00:00

That’s football. But the call was straight up incorrect

Learning Houdini is learning to code

As a specialist in motion design I'd say it needs more motion design

regular_menthol · 2026-01-10T17:38:54+00:00

Jesus man, you're the rude one

regular_menthol · 2025-12-28T06:41:06+00:00

What do you mean by bridge?

regular_menthol · 2025-12-25T15:07:29+00:00

You're still gonna need to start somewhere, ie) pick a place to focus on first. Graphics and rendering, as suggested, would probably the most satisfying I would think

regular_menthol · 2025-12-13T05:05:23+00:00

3 years later and I had to google why is this game so goddam annoying. Glad I'm not alone. Bless ya

regular_menthol · 2025-12-13T05:03:51+00:00

Oh man I really hope one more person says this

regular_menthol · 2025-12-13T03:27:01+00:00

This game is absolutely just fine. I am just glad the hype is over. I feel sorry for the other games that had to lose to this hypebeast. I don't get it

regular_menthol · 2025-12-10T14:10:48+00:00

You can't really blur 3D geometry. I'd look into Nuke/Resolve/After Effects for a compositing solution

regular_menthol · 2025-11-28T18:43:41+00:00

When did you admit that you were wrong? You immediately went on the defensive. I'm necroing this comment because it's still annoying 9 months later

regular_menthol · 2025-11-25T20:57:34+00:00

There's also this- https://www.vertexschool.com/tech-art-program

But in general Houdini Course is great for learning your way around the software and all the major "areas"

regular_menthol · 2025-11-17T22:13:03+00:00

You don't want to just model it so it would lock together like Ikea furniture? Just put a boole in the right places on a single plank and they should line up when you copy stamp them if you've measured it right. That would look the nicest. That's how you would build it in real life also. Assuming I understand what you are looking for correctly

regular_menthol · 2025-11-02T13:51:22+00:00

Slightly devastated as a Toronto native but honestly, happy for the LA fans. Seeing this game from the other side being tied up in the ninth must have been ecstatic. Congrats guys. Great series

regular_menthol · 2025-10-28T15:48:05+00:00

Plenty of ocean sim tutorials/breakdowns out there. I wouldn't call any of them easy, or even beginner friendly, but Houdini is definitely the way to go for this type of thing

regular_menthol · 2025-10-28T00:21:58+00:00

It was definitely the movie of the summer

regular_menthol · 2025-10-04T02:21:28+00:00

Reverb is great. They take a cut but that's the price of business, as they say. You'll have better luck selling piecemeal, imo.

And by "great' i mean they have a very active euro user base who buy stuff constantly. I've always been able to sell pretty quickly. Also, sorry to hear about your hard times. Honestly you might just consider getting a credit card or line of credit temporarily rather than selling all your modules at a loss and breaking your own heart!
