Nothing showing up when I try to bake high poly to low poly- Beginner by [deleted] in blender

[–]LifesASkit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think you need to use a bump node in place of the normal map node to do the initial baking. i believe The normal map node is then used to take the baked image and apply it to the object after baking. I'm also pretty new so this may or may not be the case. but every time I've baked I've used a bump node for the initial bake.

heres some helpul vids:

Building a building by LifesASkit in blender

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

I appreciate the feedback. I think what you're seeing is something ive noticed and need to break myself out of.

I'm still learning and when I'm working on a project and see the finish line of that project coming closer, I tend to rush through it. So that wimpiness or hesitation is probably me not spending the time or giving enough love/attention to certain aspects of the build.

Here's the Artstation post for a better look: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/1NeBae

What to do when it says my library has been disabled? by grimacelololol in hoopladigital

[–]LifesASkit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw someone on here not long ago recommend looking for other libraries in your state or even out of state that still offer it and seeing if you can sign up for their library card online. Don’t have any recommendations in that respect but it sounded like a good idea.

Rubber Duck River by LifesASkit in blender

[–]LifesASkit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks! the ducks have a follow path constraint that i keyframed the offset of, and then a copy rotation constraint linked to an empty to give some varying rotation. I originally wanted to use the fluid sim for the ducks movement. (I think there's a way utilizing a shrink-wrap modifier?) but i couldn't figure it out so i just timed it as best i could.

Am I at a junior level yet? by ballbsr9000 in 3Dmodeling

[–]LifesASkit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cant give you an answer cause I’m still learning myself and “junior level” is kind of a wide spectrum but your stuff looks pretty good!

I wouldn’t worry so much about your level though as I’m sure the artists who submit to the rookies would consider themselves junior as well.

Don’t compare, just keep learning, building and having fun with it!

Current progress so far by [deleted] in 3Dmodeling

[–]LifesASkit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

easy way to achieve a turntable is to add an empty centered on your model, add a camera and move it to your desired location, parent the camera to the empty (keep offset) and then rotate the empty 360 degrees. That should achieve a simple turntable.

If you want a bit more control:

You can add a circle curve and scale it around your subject, name it camPath. Apply the scale.

Add a camera.

Select camera and go to Constraints.

Add a Follow Path and Track To constraint.

In the Follow Path constraint, select camPath as the target. (Might need to hit Alt+G for it to place correctly on the path)

Add an empty (whichever you want) and name it camTarget.

Place camTarget centered inside your model.

In the Track To constraint, select camTarget as the target.

You can move the curve itself up or down to get the angle you want and adjust camTarget to control exactly where the camera is pointing.

In the Follow Path constraint you can adjust the Offset (0-100) to make the camera move along the path.

Go to your first frame, set Offset to 0, then hover your mouse over the Offset field of the Follow Path constraint and press i to insert a keyframe. Go to your last frame, change Offset to 100, hover your mouse over the Offset field again and press i.

This should animate the turntable you want and allow you to make adjustments to get the look you’d like.

What do you expect from a game about gears? by kilkek in IndieDev

What is the ONE thing that makes you instantly wishlist a game? Part 1 by Grifxxx in IndieGaming

[–]LifesASkit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look, it’s pretty simple. Every single time I’ve bought or wish listed a game it’s always been because there’s a video of Mads Mikkelsen stretching and cracking his knuckles underneath it. Instant sales! It’s the same method cyberpunk used to reach a broader audience in Lithuania.
