It's Friyay! Pantone Color of the Year: Classic blue. Swipe for 粗米粉 and Chendol.

@redshift3d point-based SSS is mega fast, mega clean. It's mad. This image took 44s.

Raytraced SSS on the other hand though, couldn't seem to clear the noise. Haha! What am I doing wrong?

A technical test. wrote a custom attribute to swap uv to vu on render time. We can see the displacement map pattern varying at 90 degrees from ball to ball.

it's Friday. Hooray!

These are Arnold's 25 presets.

The second image is me trying to recreate them in V-Ray's VrayMtl so that my studio can finally have material presets in V-Ray. Unfortunately, VrayMtl doesn't have basic sliders for a coat layer / thinfilm / iridescence / sheen / two-sided / sss. So, you can see that I've failed to recreate the VrayMtl presets for Skin, Bubble, Car Paint, Car Paint Metallic, Thin Plastic and Velvet.

I will spend more time and effort over the next couple days to recreate all those missing pieces using blend materials, two-sided materials, samplerInfo nodes, fresnel nodes and use file imports are a workaround. Not ideal, but it is what it is.

I hope V-Ray will have a unified standard material soon! :)
That said, I managed to make the recreated honey material look better than the Arnold preset! Woo!

Rendered a bunch of photographic illustrations using Houdini and Redshift for Inktober 2019 using @jakeparker 's official prompt list. The spirit of Inktober is to encourage us to revisit a fundamental form of creating illustrations - inking - to reignite the passion we artists had when we started out! With that, I designed my month-long “3D-tober” exercise to be entirely void the technicalities of the compositing process to free up my creativity!

Everything was rendered directly using @sidefxhoudini and @redshift3d , and using Redshift’s Post Fx for flares, and blooms. I must say, it’s VERY fun! Till the next October! Meanwhile, here are some work in progress images / screenshots of my process. Cheers!

The time is ripe!
[31] Ripe

Bam! And I'm done for Inktober! It was difficult trying to finish each and every single day! So I failed. Missed a few days. But hey, not bad for a full "3Dtober" daily render attempt! Learnt a lot about image making and had a lot of fun with Houdini and Redshift.

Till next October! @jakeparker

Uh, what happened to my ride?
[29] Injured

Had to destroy the motorbike from Inktober[28] for this! Posed this guy using Mixamo, and Houdini really shines when I need to just quick add some smoke, and accident debris in the scene. It also helps that Redshift renders volumes in Houdini with almost no setup!

It's back to work from a gooood long weekend! And oh! Inktober is ending soooon!

Vroom!
[28] Ride

Some fun with a hard surface subject. It's quite difficult to showcase a vehicle in a vertical format. Perhaps I should have done a top-down kind of composition. Oh well! Yet another inktober day!

A social setting.
[27] Coat

These figures look kinda spooky and cool at the same time. As always, Houdini and Redshift! I wish I did this in 3D coat, so that I can make a pun.

[24] Dizzy

It was very fun conceptualising this piece! Tried abusing Redshift's camera parameters for this vertical defocusing effect. Fun stuff. Almost Friday!

Oh yes, swipe for behind-the-scenes stills!

Greek? I think so. Some ancient civilisation.
[23] Ancient

Made some destruction of the temple in Houdini, put some cool lights in Redshift. And bam! @inktober done. Swipe to the end for a screenshot BTS. And I just swung my knee into my bed frame by accident. I'm in pain 😥

Dropped a bunch of gold coins in Houdini, place the dragon from [12] Dragon in there, and rendered the scene in Redshift.
