I wish we could get some little bit of something! I'm sure Martin is beavering away, but maybe he can pick his head up for a sec and give us a few tidbits...

I think Martin has felt burned in the past when he listed stuff that was coming and then couldn't make good on his promises (e.g. we still don't have SSS or clean booleans, both promised long ago) so he's taking the Blizzard approach and saying nothing until he's ready.

He has promised:

  • New renderer
  • NGon booleans
  • Movie textures
  • Soft selections
  • Collada import
  • Layers
  • Big UI update
  • and much much more

The most intriguing of these is "new renderer", since it may point to PBR and/or faster and better realtime previews and the potential for render-to-layers, post-render effects, SSS, volumetrics, motion blur, etc.

The ability to export C3D's materials to realtime shaders would be awesome too, but I don't know how much Martin cares about that market (i.e. me!)

Thanks Al.

It seems a bit sexual to me... but nice - yes.

--shift studio.

Sexual? I don't see anything, oh... I see it, now I see it. :redface:


I was playing with this complex material this morning when Cheetah crashed.
That almost never happens, but I lost whatever I did and I guess I'll have to start again.

I was able to get some renders along the way.

That material reminds me of the paint job on my Kuwahara Bravo Pro flatland BMX bike from many years back!

--Shift Studio.
 

Ok here's an example of how wild and unstable this material is.

If I click on the spot in one of the nodes, that opens
the preview picture, the material changes to this.
If I click it again, it flips to something else. :confused:

Same material as the last image, I don't think
I could do this "blood spatter" if I wanted to.

I should mention that I don't understand many of the nodes
functions but that doesn't stop me from playing around. ;)

Thanks Al, that's what I'm going for if I can recreate it.

I'll probably come up with some more good ones before I get where I'm going.

Like this one that could be used for hot coals or iron.

And with a slight change you get "Scorched Flesh".

This one got away. But it's from the same material, it popped in when I was
adjusting the Color 0 on the Noise Node, and out before I could save it.

Florescent Green Coral

This one could be used for topiary.

Thanks Zoohead

I like the Hot Coals: Makes me think of asking my husband to fire up the girl tonight.

and . . .

Topiary: Brings to my mind i should get my sheers out and further tweak on of our arborvitaes
that the deer started sheering last winter. They ate most of the bottom needles so now it needs shaping.

Might you care to add a link to this thread for all your new matts in the Decorated Pig Thread?

One of the things I like about Blender (I know, I know) is that each new version has a new splash screen featuring work done with Blender that accentuates the features introduced in the new version.

I think it's good for Blender, good for the artists who get exposure that way, and helps keep things fresh.

Attached — an example used (without permission ;-) ) from one of our excellent forum contributors.

I'd use San Francisco (the new Mac system font) over Helvetic Neue where available (i.e. OS X 10.11) because it will keep it looking modern. (Or it can be burned into a bitmap.)

BTW: look how you brand yourself.
