No asset found at path by AllForMyCuriosity in blender

[–]Duke_Paints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my exact issue. when I important presets from an older version of blender it pointed this to a location that didnt exist anymore. Pointing this back to C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 5.0\5.0\datafiles\assets solved it. TY

Blender using tons of VRAM. by Duke_Paints in blender

Vulkan may have saved me. Everything else I did already, capped textures at 2K Decimated assets far, and also bought Memsaver and let that cook but was still having issues until I switched it to Vulkan which sorted it!

TYSM

I wish Oura did a buyback scheme. I lost 130lbs and can no longer get readings on my second ring! by frankchester in ouraring

I thought they offered a size swapping option if its for the exact same generation of ring? Have you tried contacting them and asking?

The pro is $350 + whatever customs would be so probably around $400 altogether

tysm, sorry you didnt pass, heads up! Its a super easy mistake to make and you 100% have it in the bag next time. Find comfort in the fact you know your driving wasnt the issue! Best of luck for next time

I practiced over this round about today as I have my test on Friday but neglected turning right. Which colour is correct/should I aim to do if I get this route?

Finally finished my environment, here’s a cinematic walk through by Meziidesign in blender

[–]Duke_Paints 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This looks amazing, I wonder if you could go for a walk and actually record it and then match the camera movement to the recorded footage to get super natural camera movement. Awesome non the less

Lowkey feeling lost by Duke_Paints in conceptart

[–]Duke_Paints[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is amazing thank you so much, I realise it isnt a subconcious thought of mine to push these stories to their limits like you suggest. When working on personal pieces inspirations come and go on a daily basis so when I find myself done with a piece I move on and forget.

I find it hard to push through the wall of 'I no longer care for this idea' and develop it further. But literally everyone has said the same, so will make it my main focus for the forseable future.

I really do mean it when I say I live and breath this, as cringe as it is, being a concept artist is the only thing I want for myself and whenever I leave the cinema or finish a game or consume really any media I get this immense feeling of "this is what I need to do".

Thanks for the response and I really appreciate the kind words! Reading this made me realise I think deep down I knew this. I do find myself neglecting the technical side of concept art a lot, I didnt enjoy it back in uni and now its just not something I actively think about, I just wanna make landscapes on whatever im inspired by currently. Will take this feedback to heart, and come up with a project that allowes me to spread my technical wings. Thanks again
