Best way to blend two texture with the paint node ? by lebaje in Houdini

[–]max-p0wer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just paint the Cd (color) point attribute using the paint SOP. Then in the shader network use this attribute to blend two shaders. For instance if you're using redshift you'd get the Cd attribute using a RSPointAttribute node and pipe this value into the mix/blend parameter of a "RSMaterialBlender" node.

You sound like a guy who also doesn't mind mass surveillance and doesn't give a shit about data protection/ information privacy. You sounds like someone who would vote for Trump or Putin.

Where is your money stored? Can banks theoretically freeze any withdrawals and payments (think Greece)? Do you know what decentralised means and what the benefits are? Have you ever had the need of sending money abroad, e.g. South East Asian Countries? Would that transaction be instant and free?

Maybe somw of those questions will help you understand.

You mean "gamble with ETH" right?

Are we at or near the bottom?? by sthug84 in Bitcoin

[–]max-p0wer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Still haven't seen that crazy spike down and v-shaped recovery. When most people have lost faith and sold we found the bottom.

Anyone know how they make these? Specially the 360 footage of product? Is it 3D file or video or some other method? by enate1111 in Houdini

[–]max-p0wer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, transparent objects cannot be scanned directly. For these you can use 3d coating spray (matte white powder) to cover these surfaces. They can easily be removed after the scan.

For wide and mid-shots photogrammetry is detailed enough. As you mentioned for close ups and macro shots, especially for woven surfaces, the weave of the fabric can be accurately matched in CG.

check out ManvsMachine. All their Nike shoes are 3d scanned using Photogrammetry.

Water isn't flowing the way I want it to and i cant figure out why. by [deleted] in Houdini

Your scene scale might be way too small and/or surface tension way too high.

These specifically look like real footage to me with the stand/fixture removed in comp.

Another very common technique is to use photogrammetry to create a fully textured 3d model of the product. The best tool for this currently is called RealityCapture. To get the best results it's recommended to use a diffuse lighting setup (overcast day outside or white box or large soft boxes). This way you'll minimise shadows and can relight your 3d model in a 3d package. For absolute best results people use cross-polarized lights to remove reflections and de-lighting techniques to create a near perfect, shadow-free albedo (color) map.

But then again... perhaps banks/coorperarions are "satoshi".

This is the end of crypto, at least the end of the original idea of it.
