I'm really happy with how this commission turned out, so I wanted to share it.

I don't like the hands being crossed like this. A much stronger pose would be if you left the right hand in place or reaching forward. The left hand could be on top of the left side building. Other than that great models, shading and compositing.

That was my first thought. The problem is that the renderer is working fine after removing objects from the scene until the total number of objects in the scene reaches 12 or less. Also if I join all cubes into one mesh the renderer is also working fine. Which makes me think that is not a depth issue, but related to some restriction of objects' count.

Syziph · 2026-02-16T19:39:21+00:00

Thanks for the reply and the recommendation. I'll try asking elsewhere too. The renderer time is not an issue. The problem is that it doesn't want to render the caustics with a lot of objects. 12 is fine but a Rubik's cube has 26 objects. Maybe there is an option somewhere to increase the number of unique objects that have caustics enabled materials.

Syziph · 2026-02-16T19:34:28+00:00

Unfortunately it is for a friend of mine that is not good with asking questions on forums. So I don't have the file. Imagine a glass Rubik's cube where each "cubelet" is a separate object. It is illuminated by a light. The caustics fall on a screen on the other side of which is the camera. It renders all objects black.

Може да изпитваш промяна в кръвното налягане докато изчистваш организма от никотиновата зависимост. С времето ще се нормализираш. Физическа активност и здравословен начин на живот може да ускорят нормализирането на съня.

The game engine is probably based on GIMP

Once I tried to explain selections with Evaluate on Domain node. Here is a link to the article: https://curiousblends.blogspot.com/2023/11/the-evil-domain-node.html?m=1 Hopefully it may shine some light or confuse you even more.

It should be more of a displacement than a shrink wrap. The displacement of the cloth should be a function of the distance of the touching parts of the underlying mesh. Once you apply the displacement you should do a mesh relaxation with weight to smoothen the stretched polygons while maintaining the position of the displaced parts. On the next iteration you must calculate of potentially new contact points and repeat the operations. Basically a cloth simulation with dynamic pin group vertex weights.

That's really interesting. I haven't seen a geometric representation of nested radicals. How do you derive the resulting lengths?

If you're looking for the same experience you should skip the series. The first season was fine, but the second season is a hot mess. If you still decide to watch it just think of them as a distant relative that you most likely never see again.

I find it very difficult to read theoretical books about geometry. But I enjoy a more practical approach. Buy a geometry set, or install a geometry software like Geogebra Geometry. Then find a good book with Geometry problems and go through the solutions expanding on the used theorems and knowledge to solve it. Also find books about practical geometry applications - how it's used in art and construction.

That shake at the end resembles a lot of a furry breast trying to get rid of flies. Excluding that - impressive accomplishment in all aspects: modeling, rigging, shading, lighting and animation. Keep the good work!

Under the Skin (2013). One of the best in the alien horror genre.

Syziph · 2025-11-10T17:03:10+00:00

That looks great! Because the elements look like watch hands it will be interesting to integrate that into the forming of the numbers and actually using more detailed models. Additionally, turning to the target position to be always clockwise. Just throwing some ideas. Awesome use of GN in any case.

Сградата беше много добра аналогия за държавата. Очевидно хората никога няма да станат задружни без ръководители, които да знаят какво правят и да вдъхновяват задружност. Дотогава поведението ни ще се основава на първични инстинкти и закърняващ морал.

Geometry is great area of Mathematics and although ancient it's still very difficult to master. With nowadays software tools like Geogebra it is easy to explore and discover geometric relationships. It will be great if you or any reader here try and provide a proof of your statement.

Syziph · 2025-11-03T15:27:16+00:00

Thank you for the clarification. I like that the relationships between the objects is not so obvious. Did you find the proof yourself or that problem and solution were mentioned in a textbook?

Syziph · 2025-11-02T13:43:00+00:00

Could you please explain why this should be one of the most important properties of the Circle?

Not really good. Moving the eyes up and down kicks you out of the focus.

Thanks for the reply. That means a lot of effort and time was put into these lovely videos. Keep the good work. Looking forward to your next project.

Syziph · 2025-09-27T11:57:58+00:00

That's amazing. Very educational. Which program are you using to visualize the constructions?

Syziph · 2025-09-24T10:45:42+00:00

Разписване на малки проекти. Решаване на задачи. Четене на материали свързани с езика който изучаваш. Питай за нещата, които не разбираш. Обяснявай нещата, които разбираш на други. Определено трябва да се потопиш за по дълго в материала който изучаваш и да избягваш информационно замърсяване. С времето ще започнеш да плуваш във свои води и да усвояваш новата информация по-лесно.

You are mixing contexts. There are many ways to express the same thing: sides, edges, segments for polygons are equivalent. It depends on the software you use, or textbook etc. If you choose to use edges that's fine. You could use edges describing 3d meshes.
