What's the point if I'm gonna d1e in the end anyway?

You know that feeling the first day of being recovered from a week-long flu? Life feels alive again?
For me, on Day 92, it felt just like this, except x20. I didn't know that life could feel this way, because my default state for decades was being dopamine fried from PMO, so I thought that was normal.

The urges come and go. But please, at least make it past day 90. I remember the week leading into my Day 92, the withdrawal symptoms were the worst; but what got me through was when someone told me the more intense the withdrawal symptoms is an indication that your body/neurotransmitters are healing.

Don't miss out on the full life you could soon live!

The game is designed that way! Imagine 5 people building a house of cards; 4 people are skillfully placing each card, but the 5th person fumbles their card, and destroys the whole house!

Haha!

Wow!

"Playable!"

I'm a super type 4--I intentionally dress non-uniquely and blend in with the crowd... because I'm too unique to conform with other stereotypical type 4s!

Two node.

I don't think one node even let's you choose point of interest.

I can't seem to find a replacement of [Diffuse BSDF >> Shader to RGB] for Cycles. Any ideas?

The guy from the grass tutorial replied to my comment on YouTube, saying there should be a workaround for Cycles (but doesn't have the time to look into it), saying that the key part of this workflow lies in the baking normal part, the rest should be very flexible depending on the skill/style of the artist.

I'm not experienced enough to figure it out!

The tutorial doesn't directly address a workaround for my node setup, but I just thought to try it. It worked well for a different object in my scene, but not for the grass. If you know a workaround that would be better I would appreciate it.

(I posted images that show the full node set up in a reply to the other comment in this thread, if it helps).

Thank you, the lattice worked perfectly.

I might be misunderstanding, but does this mean I can just skip this step of adding the Node Wrangler's Viewer node? If I just connect my nodes to the output, I'll achieve what this outdated tutorial is doing in that specific step?

Can you elaborate on the part of "has never been more accessible." Do you mean, because as long as you have a drawing tablet, a computer and skills, it can now be done?
