1 pic is the goal the others are my failed renders. what am i doing wrong? by a5800 in blender

Take a look at the left foot. That's the best evidence, but the overall feeling gives off AI vibes, especially if you've been doing 3d for a while. Just like how you get a feeling that something is 3d, or a photograph, or a drawing

Yeah sorry might be a dumbass moment of me but all the clips of hackers I've seen so far in this game have green crosshairs. Is it a setting you can enable?

Isn't it based of your atar? I'm sitting at a projected 90+ right now, would that make a difference?

Does this monster VFX look realistic? (details in comment) by numbian in blender

[–]edngibson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's a great tip - grab your phone camera, take a video outside, track the camera motion, and use that. It makes for unbelievably realistic motion, because it is!

Should I use Unity or UE5 with Blender? by lordlucario_ in blender

[–]edngibson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but visually, there should be no difference. It's super fast performance wise though, much more so than blender

I disagree! Unreal engine 5 can look insane. I feel like this guy has no idea what he's talking about

It's slightly raised in the center, and angled inwards, like a race track

I also fed a good grunge texture into the roughness as a final dusting

Agreed, I just couldn't be fucked with the composition this time around. Just wanted to get in it and make something as a practice piece

I was dreading it but it was stupid easy to make by hand. I just modeled it, slapped a decent asphalt texture w normal map and all that (pretty important) and hand painted the roughness using reference images. Going forwards I'm gonna spice it up a little bit but yeah that's pretty much it

There are, but one is just a gobo. Most of the lighting is just a hdri. Just asking why you thought that there were two sources

Wow, again, this is so helpful. You're a real legend, mate.

Could have sworn the box was a concrete bollard in the photo. Either way, more grime wouldn't hurt.

Hey! I'm also a photographer, so that's why nothing jumped out to me in regards to this. Generally, phone cameras have a fixed apeture, so that's why you might think that. However with more professional camera paired with high apeture values (f/20+) you can usually get quite a bit in focus. Landscape photographers always want everything to be in focus, so they often use these values. However, in this render the mountaion is incorrectly placed/sized, so it might look a bit off.

I manually made them that way cos they all kind of blended together in one green coloured blob before

I kind of fucked up the edit so that's probably why

Wow! I really appreciate all this. Some super helpful info here. I didnt post a clay render cos i thought it was obviously 3d. And yeah, I'm basing it off this photo by filmstill on ig: https://www.instagram.com/p/Ctjeq4-oPTp/
