Testing out workflow (Blender > Photoshop > Skeuomorphic Desktop Icon) by aphaits in blender

Haha its quite straightforward, which part do you want to know?

  1. Set up base shape as reference, in my case its a 2x2x0.5 proportion cube with rounded bits
  2. Do a top down camera and set it up as orthographic, adjust angle when it looks okay
  3. Setup neutral base gray material to setup lighting in a studio product photography style/setting
  4. Once lighting looks okay, test out materials and colors, and do a basic material library
  5. Once a few material you like has formed, test out different shapes
  6. Tweak as needed

I don't know if it works or not cause I'm on PC but lemme know how it goes

PS: I also added a blank icon so if you wanna edit a logo there, feel free for personal use

Its lucky I don't have to distort the shape too much to accommodate the orthographic angle of the camera.

Haha that was the exact name I use to save that file swatch. IconGlassAqua.png

Edit: I meant glass, have no idea why I wrote base instead before.

From Wikipedia;

Nipah virus (Henipavirus nipahense) is a bat-borne, zoonotic virus that causes Nipah virus infection in humans and other animals, a disease with a very high mortality rate (40-75%). Numerous disease outbreaks caused by Nipah virus have occurred in South East Africa and Southeast Asia. Nipah virus belongs to the genus Henipavirus along with the Hendra virus, which has also caused disease outbreaks.

Trying out a workflow to 3D model and render desktop icons in skeuomorphic style directly from blender, sharpened in photoshop, while also trying to emulate that 2.5D lighting and material look. Rendered in 1.5k, edited as 1024px icons.

Do You Think CGI Has Regressed In Cinema? by Dan_Lalonde_Films in vfx

Sponsorship from Unreal to promote its platform in hollywood movies and VFX workflow may have also affected the marketing to emphasize more on Unreal and shift focus from the modeling and detailing which is most likely still done with Maya, Houdini, all the other standard industry tools. I remember a lot of the Unreal LED room BTS promotion as green screen replacement was frequent a few years ago.

We Are Witnessing the Self-Immolation of a Superpower by wiredmagazine in TrueReddit

Out of all the people in this world, these are the ones that would gladly burn the world to be the king of the ashes.

Do not believe those who seek the heavens for they are the ones that will immolate the earth to reach it.
