A seasonally appropriate project: Icicles. During this stream I will create an icicle render from scratch. The goal is realistic lighting and shading with a macro camera angle. Meaning up-close and strong depth of field.
Note that these images are photos and not a preview of the final render. But we'll be creating something along these lines.
UPDATE: Here's the render we'll be creating:
bye silent!
Imagine using those icicles as spills around cooking pot. Think of boiling and overcooking porridge and its spills dripping from pot rim.
Have a good one Silent!
I tried 2.8, but it's annoying when it crashes because of simple things like disconnect then reconnect some nodes.
Hey, it's been fun, but responsibility calls. Thanks for the stream, Kent!
True, Silent
This is already more complex than any shader I've ever done.
Cut didn't work for me lately in 2.8 as well :(
ah okay- thank you
But you could start learning it now, Omar, and have an edge over people who are also waiting for the full release.
