Quick Tip: Controlling Modifiers with Textures [BLENDER]

[@MEME-mt1qz]

I never get enough of this guy. Bought one of his FX course on blender and learned plenty ! Plenty of ways of putting my computer to its knees :P So many things to mix in the sauce ! Thanks !

[@MidgeSinnaeve]

Thanks, appreciate the love!

[@robsbassnutt]

Thank you Midge:) I thought some guys are creative with Blender until I've found your channel! I can relate as I don't like modeling and sculpting. I get bored really quick. I love sci-fi art, using modifiers and all that! I enjoy motion graphics and animation. I am going to buy your course right now after I finish writing this. I don't think I have seen anything that comes close to what you do. I absolutely love it! The only people that do this kind of work are using C4D and give tutorials respectively. Funny that many C4D users wish for you to do tutorials in C4D:) I actually think there's more C4d sci-fi art and tutorials than for Blender users. Thanks again, you got yourself a lifetime subscriber!

[@MidgeSinnaeve]

Thanks, it's always nice to hear from people discovering my content! :)

[@JaredOwen]

Thanks for this video! Really cool techniques I hadn't thought of

[@erionmema1]

this is nuts!! I never imagined that this could be done with blender

[@phyprime]

Still trying to find anyone who is constantly pushing the envelope and sharing their findings as much as you. I doubt they exist. Thank you, I can't wait to experiment with this!

[@todesdigga3891]

Wow, powerful stuff! Thank you for sharing!

[@jazzew]

That is AWESOME!! I'm trying your techniques now, and I'd seen your art only recently. I love it! Thank you for sharing this technique!

[@davidmcsween]

Midge, you made 3D half tone! Thats sooooo cool!

[@MidgeSinnaeve]

Haha, thanks! :D

[@totallyinsaneart3345]

Excellent quick tip. Thank you very much

[@djC653]

tnx great stuff. Found you through BlenderNest and sub'ed

[@MidgeSinnaeve]

Awesome! :)

[@CTRL_SMarcos]

Awesome! Content differentiated and of enormous quality. If I were a believer I would thank the God of Blender for finding this channel. Thank you so much for your videos : ^ )

[@weeeBloom]

nice tutorial, thank you!

[@jefflhama]

some time ago you made me look the modifiers with more attention. thanks

[@darektidwell1158]

Wow.Awesome. Thank you.

[@olfmombach260]

This is really cool. I personally feel like I lost all my creativity in school :(

[@MidgeSinnaeve]

That's why we have KZbin! ;)

[@fabbrobbaf]

Thanks a lot!

[@Friedrich-Fluecken]

Pretty cool. Thank you.

[@joaovitormr471]

Muito obrigado!!!

[@Panchocr888]

Very cool and useful!, thanks!

Saved my life, Thanks!!!

[@someoneontheinternet3090]

Holy shit!

[@devonroyer8044]

great video thank you!

[@TheBryancrochet]

You are the man!

[@putchenko_art]

Thank you very mach!

[@KuldeepSingh-dp9uj]

Thanks, it's interesting 😀

[@ValeGoG]

Очень круто, надо разбираться :)

[@AlexanderPogrebetsky]

Amassing tricks

[@Vjgalaxy]

Thank you ;)

[@RamSingh87]

Is there a way we can combine these textures like textures in shader nodes. Pardon if my question is very basic .

[@MidgeSinnaeve]

Not yet, if everything goes according to plan, the texture system should be unified in Blender 2.8 and it will make all of that possible.

[@boudewyn]

This doesnt seem to be working with 2.8, right?

[@MidgeSinnaeve]

There's a bug where the modifier stack doesn't update when you change the texture currently but it does work. There's two ways to quickly see the result. Either just hit tab twice to go in and out of edit mode and it'll be updated. Or make an empty and use that as the coordinate object and it'll update if you move it around. I'm gonna try and make a bug report this week to get it fixed. :)

[@boudewyn]

@@MidgeSinnaeve Thank you for this quick workaround!

[@asylumlabs6075]

I know I'm a bit late to the party....lol. Anyway, with v2.82.7 I found a nasty bug with the Inverse button on the Mask. It 'seems' to work until you animate then some frames glitch out nasty. Thanks for the tutorial, big fan Midge!

[@asylumlabs6075]

take it back, i'm getting odd glitching even when Vertex Group mask is NOT reversed. Objects just fly away for a frame or two, then come back. Anyone know what this is?

[@MidgeSinnaeve]

If you can reproduce the problem, file a bug report to get it fixed. You can click "Report a Bug" from the help menu. :)

[@MimasAnimations]

Cool, thanks)

[@aleistergein114]

Hey, this could be used to control hair particle systems with image textures, could it not?

[@MidgeSinnaeve]

In the particle system settings, you can actually assign textures (at the bottom) to control stuff. From size and density to more advanced things.

[@aleistergein114]

It actually occurred to me upon second viewing that you're using *Blender* textures, not Cycles textures. That's what I meant: as far as I'm aware there is no way to use, say, the output of a MixRGB node to control a hair particle system.

[@MidgeSinnaeve]

Yeah, they're still separated indeed. A workaround be be to unwrap the model and bake the procedural texture out of Cycles and re-import it as an image (sequence). That's the only way I know of to link them.

[@ghobii]

Adjusting the vertex weight curve crashes Blender every time for me. This is with the 2.8 May16 build.

[@MidgeSinnaeve]

Might be a bug then, report it if you can recreate the issue. Have you tried resetting your preferences? That can help if you;re using the beta for a while.

[@ghobii]

@@MidgeSinnaeve Thanks for the reply. Finally found that it only happens when in edit mode, everything worked fine in object.

[@hameddesign70]

we can not use the damn node editor here

[@MidgeSinnaeve]

I wish, right!

[@hameddesign70]

@@MidgeSinnaeve Is there any plugin to fix this?

[@MidgeSinnaeve]

@@hameddesign70 Unfortunately not, but Geometry Nodes enable remapping vertex weights to vertex colors, so you can kind of link the shading and the fx a little now, but advanced textures is still a dream. :)

[@gorannovaks]

downloaded it for future practicing, can't get a sh** of what you are talking about for now..
