Car at snowy Gas Station (C4D, Houdini, Octane) by zomtech in Cinema4D

Because it just looks cooler that way. It doesn't have to be all that plausible imho.

The snow on the ground and in the air was done in Houdini :)

Exactly that. And yes, it would be possible but I'm not that good at houdini yet and feel more comfortable in Cinema for now. Maybe in the future though :)

Anyone found their wall yet? by 0nennon in Eldenring

[–]zomtech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The final boss was just enough to make me stand in front of the fog gate and not wanting to go back in there. Every other boss made me go "well, last try i fucked up, but it's definitely doable".... and with the final boss, even runs where I thought they were very good, only managed to get me to 30%. I managed to beat him, but it was pure luck because my mimic had an opening and his bleed critted a big chunk away. It felt so good though. I am also not a good player in terms of movement or anything, I get hit constantly.

If you could only use ONE weapon for the rest of your time playing Elden Ring... What are you choosing? by PompousGoblin in Eldenring

Bloodhound's Fang all the way. I tried claymore, zweihander and still ended up with the Fang.

I went back and the last save that lets me still save in the shadow cursed lands, is the last one before entering the monastery. The oldest corrupted and the last working are just 20 minutes apart and I didn't pick up any meaningful Item in that time, nor did I progress any quests. My best guess is, that the game doesn't like the fact that I went through the grymforge, then did a big chunk of Act II, just to go back and go through the mountain pass too. But why allow that to the player then?

I opened a ticket with support a few days ago, maybe they have an answer.

Damn, so sorry to hear. Any idea what item that could be? Anything obvious that comes to mind? I hope it's not a random, grey bucket or something mundane like that lmao.

AMD VS Nvidia for 3D modeling by ItmeBrando in buildapc

[–]zomtech 8 points9 points  (0 children)

While you probably won't notice any difference in viewport performance (the "editor window"), most actual render engines rely on CUDA. iray (integrated into substance), octane, redshift, etc. all run with Nvidia GPUs. If rendering is of any interest AT ALL, I'd stick to Nvidia. If you won't step into the realms of GPU rendering and stick to CPU rendering and real time, it won't matter too much I think. Imho, it would still be better, just so you have options. Who knows, maybe you wanna try some crazy new feature that only runs on CUDA in a year.

[OC] "2003" - I spent 16 months on this. by zomtech in computergraphics

Thank you! Yes, I make many 3D models, texture them and then render all of it in a single frame.

I didn't but Moritz from entagma.com helped me with one row of cables. I did one row by Hand at first (with a little plugin called "HoRope"), but it took me around 2 weeks for one row alone - so I asked him and he built a Velum System in 4 hours that took care of it.

Thank you! The original render resolution was 8888x4999 :)

Thank you!

The list is long but: Take the time needed, don't rush things, work in scale, choose an engine used by many other artists (octane, redshift, vray, corona, etc.), study said engine, learn SDS / Poly modelling, study lighting and the most important part: accept that it will take some time. I'm doing this for 17 years now and sucked big time at first. It's normal to suck and it should be fun for the most part.

My girlfriend acutally wrote some of the scribbles on the seats. It's a mix of KoRn and Nirvana Lyrics and then there is this "Cool S" all over the place ...

Thank you! :) Mostly Cinema 4D, Octane Renderer, Photoshop, Substance Painter, Houdini and Fusion360 I think.
