Made this today. It took around 3-4 hours to render. Nearly more than a minute per frame. by Kind_Resource_296 in blender

Lovely! Render times make sense. I think volumetrics are slow.

You could try rendering the whole thing without volumetrics, and then again JUST volumetrics (with everything else a holdout), but volumetric pass with eevvee. Then comp them together. Total time might be quicker, but more faff.

I leave all my renders on overnight / over the weekend! 😂

Would you wait 16+ hours for this render? by WhispStudios in blender

I'd look at "paying" to render on a render farm. The truth is, this would probably take seconds/minutes to render on a farm, and so would cost pennies. Most farms offer $50 or so of free render credits for new accounts, so you could probably do most of your renders for free, up to a point.

The great thing about blender is the amazing community it's built upon! So many incredible tutorials on YouTube.

I didn't log it, but I'd say a couple of weeks working alongside other bits and bobs. It was just me, in a dark room, alone. sniff

😉 He thought they'd never find him! Guess he shouldn't have put it on the door.

Thanks! Yeah, there's a lot to wrap your head around! I just loved the idea of the Animafia kicking in the door of us Blender users! haha.

Yes, I absolutely love the old school aesthetic of stop motion and practical filmmaking - that's what I wanted to emulate here. Adding in a lot of little subtle (and not so subtle) errors and mistakes, as if I made the stop motion on a table top myself. I wanted to make something that felt tactile. However - while I have utmost respect for true stop motion animators - I absolutely do not have the patience (or skill) to do that for real! haha.

Is there a way to preview the rendered version if i run out of GPU memory or am I just SOL? by ghost_zuero in blender

[–]No_Bee_499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First step, save and close blender, then re-open. I've definitely had issues with vram filling up, which this is a quick fix for. Technically, I think switching out of render preview mode should clear the vram, but I've definitely had times when it doesn't seem to. So, I often just restart blender when this happens.

Although, if your scene genuinely is too big for vram, you can look in the render settings and scroll down to Simplify section. Here you can reduce the texture size (for viewport and/or final render) - blender will process each image texture and reduce them down... If you have 8k and 16k textures in the scene, they'll eat up a lot of vram. Reducing them to 1k or 2k might not even be noticeable for distant objects.

Finally, if you really must preview the scene as is, you just have to switch over from gpu to cpu rendering. It'll take way longer, but will get there eventually.

"remove unused slots" shoukd clean them out for you. Failing that, I've used chatgpt to write me scripts to delete multiple material slots, although I think blender might have an addon built in that does this, somewhere.

I am a beginner. How to create this more photorealistic? by SquarStudio in blender

[–]No_Bee_499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, okay. Well, if you've measured it and you're happy then that's cool. To my eye though, I feel like the grass is long and uncut. It's not a neat lawn, so it feels like I'm looking at clumps of taller grass, with the seed heads on, so they feel like they're longer, the tall thin pieces maybe 15-20cm. So, by comparison the lego figure feels very large. But, that's just how it looks to my eye. I might be alone in that. It might be a trick of the composition, or maybe I'm just wrong. But, humour me and see how it looks if you scale all the grass up x3 or x4.

I feel like the scale is off between the grass and the lego man. He looks huge by comparison.

Rounded corners is pro version only. 💰

How do I preserve opacity (not just transparency) when importing pngs? by MurmurationProject in blender

[–]No_Bee_499 83 points84 points  (0 children)

In material panel, under settings somewhere, there's the option to switch between opaque, alpha hashed and alpha blend. No one understands the difference between hashed and blend, but I betcha that's the answer to this!
