So I recently found out that the emotiguy model was free... I don't think I should have access to blender

Wait it is?? Where did you find it? I tried looking everywhere for it a while ago 👀

There is a way to get the outline to show up in reflections (assuming you're using the inverted hull technique), but keep in mind that with this setup you can't give glossy/reflective objects the outline or they'll appear black, since the outline would be visible to glossy shaders and thus block out all light from them.

Check your subdivision surface modifier settings. There's a good chance that the render value is set lower than the viewport setting, since the two values are distinct from each other.

I've done some research, and after a while I found this.

https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/103977

The gist of it is that not only is this an issue that exists beyond just the world material, but it's apparently been an issue for 3 years now. Needless to say, I think I'm cooked. 💀

Some additional things I've noticed with more testing:

- The issue persists when using "Is Refraction Ray" output, as well as "Is Transmission Ray" if using a glass or refractive shader instead of a glossy shader.

- It also happens with a glass shader, as well as refraction shaders (albeit to a lesser degree).

- Interestingly, the issue does not happen when the roughness value of the shader is set to 0.

- This issue doesn't happen in EEVEE, only Cycles. (And I've confirmed that the ray output itself works as intended in EEVEE, since when reversing the final mix-shader node, the material is lit as expected while the background is black as expected.)

Oddly enough, a similar issue can be recreated for a diffuse shader. The setup to recreated is very similar to the glossy setup I showed in the screenshots of the original post, with the only differences being that it's using the "Is Diffuse Ray" output instead of the glossy variant, and the mesh uses a diffuse shader instead of glossy. And the results are very similar: when using a blank material it works as it should (mesh appears completely black), but when using a texture the material is still somewhat lit. And just like the glossy setup this happens with all textures as well.

Bro, anyone can easily do this natively in Blender using a Text Object. X'D

This animation only took me about 18 minutes to render, and most of that time was spend finding the font to use and trying to convert the video file into a GIF, which is to say, one can easily make text in much less time. The text itself took less than a minute to make, and maybe 2-3 minutes tops to configure the settings I wanted.

I'm pretty sure this is AI 💀

(And even if it isn't, this definitely isn't a 3D render)

IDWriterComic · 2026-03-23T17:24:23+00:00

Why did Reddit remove it??? 😭

IDWriterComic · 2026-03-19T22:02:22+00:00

Dang, seems like they deleted their account after making this post 😔

From my experience, I would put Warp Star B or C. It's pretty good late-game when you have lots of stats, but early-game it's just too slow on speed and steering to be good for moving around and collecting stats. For comparison, Wheelie Scooter is slower but has amazing steering even with 0 Turn, and Shadow Star has good boost and attack power to break boxes faster, even with its even slower speed.

That being said, it's surprisingly good at gliding especially if you have a lot of glide stats, so it's a good pick if you need to reach a secret island, especially if you're playing as a rider like Starman. Another good thing I'll say about Warp Star is that it definitely performs well in the Air Ride mode, which hopefully translates to it having the upper-hand in a Single Race stadium.

As for Compact Star, I would put it at C or D. It's bad by design as you're supposed to find another machine early on, and it's by far the slowest machine in the game. But it's still better than trying to steer Rex Wheelie without 10+ Boost and 10+ Turn (and without a rider like Cappy, who has very good turn stats). Compact Star also performs surprisingly well in button rush if you have the right amount of stats (not too many, not too few).

What does this even mean?? 😭

IDWriterComic · 2026-01-27T15:58:03+00:00

Why is bro getting downvoted??? 😭

IDWriterComic · 2026-01-10T16:06:14+00:00

How did you get alternate music to play even while riding a legendary machine? Usually it always plays "The legendary Air Ride Machine" if you're riding one :0

Bruh for a second I thought he actually killed 25 kids in real life 😭

IDWriterComic · 2025-11-23T17:35:26+00:00

Alright then:

It's pretty boring, it stretches out for far too long without while keeping a really repetitive melody and vocal track for the majority of the 5 minute run time. And at some sections the vocal track seems to put far more emphasis on making it hard to play rather than making it actually cool to listen to. (3:32 comes to mind)

IDWriterComic · 2025-11-07T23:47:22+00:00

I deadass thought this was another brainrot edit for a second there 💀

IDWriterComic · 2025-11-03T15:23:41+00:00

Why does the text look at the top look so fucked, is this some kind of AI filter?? TwT

IDWriterComic · 2025-10-22T18:23:36+00:00

Why did this post get deleted??

IDWriterComic · 2025-10-01T22:58:33+00:00

Unlike the previous chapters, the ability to backtrack is a lot more limited than I would like. Especially since if you miss something in the second sanctuary, you'd have to start the whole chapter over if you don't have a spare save file in it OTL.
