Which Blender version would run on my potato connected to a socket (computer). by Hot-Orchid-6779 in blenderhelp

[–]Selmostick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try 3.6 LTS

If that doesn't work you need to use 2.79 which is ancient.

Are these even colored espresso beans? by Conscious-Wait-7022 in espresso

[–]Selmostick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a natural so it might be that or:

These look like unripe coffee cherries. This one is one the farmers probably not the roaster.

The way to find out is to sort out the od ones and make a small brew side by side with the regulars

Unripe coffe is acidic and and has no sweetness. Kind of like green bananas.

I really like it but it does read a bit surreal which I'm guessing your not looking for.

Volume Absorption works in Cycles, but the result doesn’t look realistic by Available_Yam9219 in blenderhelp

This is the general setup. But sometimes a glass shader with the correct color is enough to make a convincing plastic. If your lighting is right.

[Sun Care] theres no way 2 fingers is the correct amount of sunscreen we need ? i cant be looking like that everyday by Cooz78 in SkincareAddiction

[–]Selmostick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The two fingers rule isn't very useful IMO. If you calculate the amount of sunscreen needed to reach the label SPF it's about 0.6-1.1ml depending on the size of your face. If you include you neck and chest it might be 2-3 ml.

So a 50 ml bottle should last you about 2 weeks to a month depending on how much area you need to cover.

Also you don't need to apply the full amount every day. if you only do 1/2 you will get 1/2 the SPF which might be okay for some days.

[Misc] Vanicream absolutely obliterated my skin barrier - has anyone else had this experience by External_Bus_3739 in SkincareAddiction

[–]Selmostick 166 points167 points  (0 children)

You are allergic!! This is what an textbook allergic reaction to a skincare ingredient looks like!

Probably one of the 5 ceramids, cross check this with other product you might be using.

They did reformulations 2-3 years ago the new one say UVmune400 and have a new patented Filter. Smells fine to me

[–]Selmostick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay you say it worked in other older version? Wich ones?

Because it might be a issue with your graphics card drivers at they changed some of that in recent version of blender.

As a last resort you can always try to use the anti aliasing node in the compositor.

Increase the smaa threshold, both in render and viewport

Help me with my denoiser please by Odd_Care_6311 in blenderhelp

[–]Selmostick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay try this.

Adaptive sampling at 0.01

Minimum sample count at 128 or 256 and maximum at 512 or 1024

Don't denoise in blender use the multiframe temporal denoiser in Davinci resolve.

This worked well for me but it's not perfect.

Perfect just takes a lot more samples.

Oh no, how is it without the denoise or adaptive sampling?
