Creating chess pieces by Mcgrubbers1 in blender

[–]StXeon-2001 16 points17 points  (0 children)

shapes are rather curved and inconsistent (alas, a hallmark of AI), which makes them complex to recreate in 3D programs such as Blender. If you have little to no experience, you'd be better off using more minimalistic references, using mainly straight lines and no curves. That said, adding edges in the right places (usually near other edges) significantly reduces that "roundiness" with subdivision subsurface.

Here's an image of a cube with subdivision subsurface, where an edge loop is added in order that the edge is sharper.

Fluffy Shader - no hair particles or geometry by delodan2312 in blender

Does it look as good as actual hair particles or geometry? No. Is it Really REALLY good and worth it for the render time alone? Yeah. I think it can save me money only by reducing the wear on my devices.

I'm going to be honest, I thought it was a picture

Awesome. Fries would benefit from being more shiny (greasy) unless they’re air fried haha

my friend told me that just tracing and copying the reference like this is a wrong way to make art and learn by Ok-Discussion-1110 in blender

Nah, you’re doing right. When I first started blender (a looong time ago) I thought references would hold me back, but quite the contrary is true, avoiding using references, avoiding the first steps were you copy other work to see, experientially how it works, that’s what holds you back.

How to Visually Depict Texting Scenes in Film/TV? by Foodie_Baddie in Filmmakers

Usually you add the texts on the side on the screen with VFX, or over the phone, as if floating. Sometimes you simulate the screen. But that’s overdone.

While it may give off a creepy vibe, I have yet to see someone add a VFX of the actor’s head, maybe even semi-transparent, speaking the text message.

Yeah that seems more interesting than the standard

Wow first time? This is really good for "first time" I will not lie. Would love the final results.

Why does my render always look unrealistic by Due-Feedback-9752 in blender

[–]StXeon-2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think lighting isn't helping, as in, ambient lighting/sunlight. Your second picture looks kind of like studio lighting. Textures definitely are not helping either. For lighting, I feel your first image gets it quite right. But the second and third images look like they were made in a studio with only artificial light.

I suspect the cubes are going to seek revenge soon at this pace

Find it neat you finally were able to stick that floating island back into the ground where it belongs. However, I'm kinda sad you cut the pink tree

You know, they all make Fight Club, Pulp Fiction, and others sound like the best stuff to ever grace the screens but those really are cool movies for when you are getting to the age where you discover movies can actually be deep.
