    i'm well fucking bored and been listening to Peggy's Don't Put Anything On The Bible on constant repeat for 12+ hours. buckle up, Nancy, this is live and direct out your bitch-ass pussy.

    3D is still a fuck and boring as all hell but with the downtime in the office over summer I thought I would give Blender a go and see if it could potentially replace our Max / Corona workflow. if i'm going to faff about learning a new program, I might as well do it on company time and maybe help me land another job and a way out this fucking dungeon.

    initial results are... inconclusive. modelling is waaaay easier, making materials is fucking S I L L Y and F O O L I S H (don't get me started on the mapping tied to the material and not the object - like, I have three objects with the same matrial and I want to adjust them independeneptdetally. can I? can I FUCK), default camera is pish without the photographer addon - yo, let's build a physical renderer but not bother with a physical camera? c'mon man - vRay for C4D had full physical cameras 10 years ago and that was made by three drunk guys in a caravan in Austria. well, that's a lie - they worked in an office.

    nodes? for compositing? fuck is wrong with these people - just give me check boxes - not something that looks like a fucking mind map for a 15yo who really likes Transformers, biscuits, and Joy Division bootlegs. it's either that or saving an exr with 14000 channels. sweet Christ.

    node. wrangler.

    Cycles is decent, if a little mushy in some areas - pushed through a GPU the renders fucking fly and the denoiser doesn't indiscriminately destroy small detail like an IDF cluster bomb.

    anyway. I made a thing for the test.

    • Well, that was a very enjoyable Hunter S. Thompson rant. If you were using C4D and Arnold, I would recommend looking at Calder Moore's tutorials. His work is...CyBrainX
    • in this style and worth seeing for inspiration, at least.CyBrainX
