A rainbow-glass-laser gun thingy!! There's a shad A rainbow-glass-laser gun thingy!! There's a shading tutorial request; put this together for @odddough Swipe for close ups, wip and a screenshot of the shading network! Essentially, it's simply plugging a fresnel that's been remapped into rainbow hues into the refraction color slot of a glass material. Top it off with some dispersion abbe and we're good. Almost the weekend. Hang in there!! Created using @redshift3d and @autodesk_me Maya! Pardon my low-poly jagged weapon, and non-existent modelling. Slapped it together with some base mesh weapons from Maya's content browser, which btw is super convenient for such quick tests! #glassgun #weapon #toygun #glass #iridescent #rainbow #colorful #fresnel #blender3d #design #art #motiondesign #artwork #art #instaart #blendercommunity #3D #refraction #dispersionabbe #redshift3d #lasergun #tutorials #render #houdinifx #digitalart #cinema4d #behindthescenes #blender #c4d
Spinning webs off @masonrystudios logo! Created s Spinning webs off @masonrystudios logo! Created some webby images couple weeks ago and I thought to share the process. A little breakdown: 1, Trace logo and scatter points. 2. Scatter points around a larger circle 3. Draw lines between the 2 shapes 4. Add a spiral between them and fuse the points 5. Pin the corner points and run a vellum simulation! Hope the helps and have a great week! Created using @redshift3d and @sidefxhoudini I generally use techniques shared by @therealentagma for these kinda stuff. So if you're into these stuff, do check them out! I actually think Mo covered some webby stuff too!

Iridescence nonsense. RS Fresnel ramped into rain Iridescence nonsense. RS Fresnel ramped into rainbow colors and fed into the reflection color can produce a fairly convincing thin film iridescent effect with great artistic control! Hope that's useful for designers!

Always fun and easy slide sliders in @autodesk_me Arnold. makes it easy to explain to my students too! Enjoy the beautiful light and colour response!

Also, I've appended a throwback to a dance item we did at @masonrystudios And as always, rendered in @redshift3d oh yes, we've recently beefed up our GPU setup in the studio and this whole sharkdino thing took 16 minutes for the whole animation to render?!

Hard-surface! Yay or nay? Well, I started modellin Hard-surface! Yay or nay? Well, I started modelling cars many years ago, and man.. I was a nut case, modelling cars every single day for months! I dreaded organic modelling. Thankfully, @zbrushatpixologic came along and it's all fun and games again! -- Anyway, I've recently assigned my students to model a hex nut, and I thought I should also join them, it's a pretty quick and fun task. But don't underestimate this simple nut job (lol, nutjob). It requires analysis, breaking down the main form into smaller forms. And then problem-solving when putting the small forms together. Also, it's a great introduction to hard-surface modelling, topology and the important concepts of adding edge loops to tighten the creases! -- Who could resist the temptation of putting together a cool scene and play with the lights, materials and the camera? Well... nut me! Swipe to view all the shots and BTS-y stuff! -- Was "shooting" in @redshift3d and @autodesk @autodesk_me Maya. Hex nut was also modelled in Maya. If you swipe towards the end of this carousel post, early material tests were done in Arnold, putting my laptop's CPU to the test! Haha!

Haha, did quite a lot of work with smoke simulations, but it's been a while since we did some fire on a project, so it's quite fun now that there are better and faster tools! -- @redshift3d renders volumes seriously fast. @sidefxhoudini seriously lowered the bar for pyro sims with all their new pyro tools since 18.5. gonna try them out in the next couple weeks! -- #fire #heat #desert #simulation #volumes #details #temperature #vfx #blender3d #design #art #motiondesign #artwork #art #instaart #blendercommunity #3D #sandstorm #rnd #redshift3d #sim #pyro #render #houdinifx #digitalart #cinema4d #volumetric #blender #c4d
