[@ijustmakegamesnow906]

Your tiger looks so realistic that my cat actually just sat here with me and watched the entire video. I'm not even joking, he was glued to the screen. I played him the animated part several times. He digs it.

[@ronnetgrazer362]

Their vision is all about movement (difference each frame with previous, invert, use that as a blur mask on rendered animation, desaturate, that approximates what your cat sees...) so I bet that neon texture looked pretty mesmerizing to him. It definitely worked for me :)

[@ijustmakegamesnow906]

@@ronnetgrazer362 Yeah, he loved the neon part too. But, I've noticed that when sees real tigers on screen, he sits and watches them. And these days, when I leave for work, I put on a long video about birds, and when I get back he's still glued to the screen. So, since I've been doing that, now even I'm just watching people movies, he cuddles up to me and watches too. Now that he understands that a screen can show birds and squirrels, it's like he suddenly understands to watch the screen. Cats are very goofy, but very cute.

[@ronnetgrazer362]

@@ijustmakegamesnow906 Amazing, how they can get past the limitations of 2D projection. My dog was into TV when she was young, but seems to have lost interest pretty much entirely. I remember reading about hunter-gatherers who'd never seen a photograph before and couldn't understand the black and white spots at first. They needed to learn that it represented people and things. I don't know if it's true but I always thought it was a cool story.

[@ijustmakegamesnow906]

@@ronnetgrazer362 Ive read similar things about hunter gatherers. What cracks me up about my cat is when I first started playing him bird videos, he would attack the screen, then he would walk around to the back of the screen to try to catch the birds. Then I would see a little cat head and feet sticking up from the top of the screen looking down at me confused. It was at this point that he would just start curling up with me to watch people movies. About ten minutes ago, because it is the middle of the night and he kept banging on the door and meowing, I put on an aquarium video to calm him down. He attacked the screen so hard and fast that I had to turn it off. I don't want him knocking the screen over onto the floor. Cats and fish...

[@Wildart2]

@@ijustmakegamesnow906 When I got my HD TV, a nature showed a Polar bear walking across the screen and my cat started drooling and moved in a super slow motion off the chair and under the couch. She was petrified, so they definitely see more than move she recognized it as a predator.

[@ghirahime5282]

[@ghirahime5282]

@@gabrielmoro3d it would be the best option. But let's just ask for anything

[@goku21youtub]

in this video only the renderer is changed, everything else is the same as 2.79

[@Dome794]

yeah Daniel is putting out amazing quality! but It´s hard to follow along. (which is ok) I could try to explain whats going on in there, since everything is based on 1. Parameter expression that´s getting referenced to values (e.g brightness of maps) inside the shader tree(3min) On quick search gives me the term "drivers" which seems to do exactly that. They even have examples with code snippets in the help ;) docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/animation/drivers/workflow_examples.html 2. Controlled by vertex weights/colors/groups. Not sure how they differentiate but the vertex groups used in the video should be simple float channels that can be stored with information, where to apply certain aspects of the particle sim (in this case hair density/length/clumping) on a given vertex. So its mesh dependent. Can also be used to drive simulation properties. docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/modeling/meshes/properties/vertex_groups/assigning_vertex_group.html I wonder how to connect the painting software (krita?) to blender. That looks handy too. Hopefully this helps a little bit and maybe daniel can share some insights :) Mostly working with houdini but I totally love blender. Such a good software.

[@goku21youtub]

thats just a screen shot from orthographic view... theres no connection between krita and blender .. the shaders are tweaked noisemaps

[@wailfulcrab]

I'm amazed how simple effects added can create such beautiful result. -Texture is simple projected side and front -Particles are clouds or magic texture cut out -Since tiger is boneless, rigid body used to simulate fur movement -Transition from fur texture to black is Mask modifier -Glowing stripes is keyframed offset of texture. Amazing job.

[@HurricaneSA]

If the tiger is boneless how did he do the walk animation? o.O

[@wailfulcrab]

@@HurricaneSA Shape keys

[@HurricaneSA]

@@wailfulcrab Cool. Would it have been easier/faster than just rigging the model?

[@wailfulcrab]

@@HurricaneSA No, because shape keys are for different things. With shape keys, you have total freedom to transform the mesh because you alter the structure as a whole. Best example is morphing one object to another or facial animations. So you have better control of shape of the parts of the mesh. With bones, you are limited to amount of bones and vertices that are assigned to them. You use bones to move parts of the mesh that don't change the shape because vertices can only move as a group. So you have better control of movement of the parts of the mesh. tl;dr - if you want focus on the route and what movement tiger does, rig it. If you want to focus how the tiger looks while moving, shape key it.

Pardon me, I clicked the video instantly without seeing the title. But that's probably more of a compliment. At first I was like, no way this is Blender. I thought I was watching Houdini in action or something, with all that sweet simulation, then I thought well, Cycles is pretty powerful, so I ain't doubting that realism in texture and movement. Then you showed the realtime viewport, and I was instant Pikachu shock face. EEVEE has come so far but besides that, it demonstrated why your work is very important for the blender artist community imo, this is outrageous lol

[@betalars]

[@ronnetgrazer362]

IKR?! Now you do it :) j/k, I'd start off with expectations low. Check out Blender Binge on YT for a super clear explanation of important basics, check out Grant Abbitt's channel for stuff about sculpting and texturing, mainly, and if you're interested in hard surface modeling you could check out Ayanam, or dive right into Gleb Alexandrovs and Aidy Burrows' (paid) hard surface course, by that time you have more than enough basic skills to start mixing it up, explore the options and devise your own techniques, assets and even tools. Also, lots of interesting blend files uploaded by pros to fiddle with, take apart and learn from. Like this one. Have fun!

[@BackusCreativeImaging]

I'm a hobbyist. I first got into 3D around 2006, started by learning 3ds Max. Then learned Maya in 2009 and loved it. Mari in 2011 for 3D texturing, and Nuke as well in 2011 for compositing exported render passes in EXRs. Then later in 2012, Zbrush (for sculpting and exporting displacements over UDIM textures). I moved on but am now getting back into 3D. Downloaded Maya 2020 trial to see where things have gone since the last version I used, 2013. They removed the dud that was mental ray renderer, that's good, replaced it with Arnold. Cool. Modern hardware means path tracing is more reasonable to do, very neat. However ... Autodesk has been consistently busting the software. My Attribute Editor has a refresh issue, a bug sitting right in my face. Are you kidding me Autodesk, where's the passion on the development team? Then I tried Blender. I thought Blender was just a mediocre option, probably not any good for much more than making 3D architectural models but definitely not for serious productions. As for the open movies (I saw Sintel a few years ago), probably had a team of script writers on them to code solutions on the fly. No, my assumption was wrong. Blender is not for noobs. Actually, it's better than most paid software, seriously. In the last few days I've been on a binge of learning Blender; the concepts of 3D haven't changed, so it's been relatively easy for me to catch on to how Blender does things. I like that the Outliner has the same name from the DAG (directed acyclic graph) from Maya. The pie menus are just as fast (and very well implemented) as Maya's marking menus (which Autodesk will eventually break I can guess). The node editor in the shading panel is amazing. The UI and general workflow through the software is consistent. Hotkeys galore for power users. Started off watching the Blender 2.8 Fundamentals by Blender Foundation. Now following along with CGBoost "Blender Beginner" series, which is also free. Blender has a huge community of dedicated and passionate people, tons of tutorials too. The software is lean. I was laughing when I saw the red matcap material from previous version of Blender for sculpting, lol ... I was like "yeah they hid that for good reason, Pixologic might get irritated". I don't know how Blender is getting away with such incredible features. Will be subscibing to Blender Cloud to support the development team with a small donation every month. Overall, I'm blown away with Blender. It isn't supposed to be this good, but it is. The little things impress me too; like the gesture based transforms (moving in a direction without touching the axis for example) I enjoyed in Maya but thought Blender couldn't possibly have it; it does. Or the selecting multiple attributes in the properties window to change them all (such as selecting Scale X, Y, Z all together), like you can in the Channel Box in Maya ... well, you can do that in Blender too. The tiger render here ... being done on the GPU with Eevee ... I would have guessed that was Cycles if you hadn't shown the behind the scenes and such. I saw the cloth simulation on the skin, and you painting the vertex weights to control where it is affected. That's amazing. Incredible work and attention to detail Daniel. Yes, Blender isn't Mari for texture painting but ... Mari is very expensive. You can still texture models quite well in Blender; a little more clunky than Mari as you can't preview everything (I think) but again ... totally gets the job done. Love that Blender supports UDIM now, just in time for multi patch highly detailed creature models! I did a "ghetto stress test" in Blender. 42 million faces, then got into sculpting hoping Blender to be my wanna be Mudbox or Zbrush replacement (in this case, not multi res modifier, just pure polys). Blender used 24GB of RAM and sculpted easily with a large brush size, using 95% GPU and I was getting a solid 50fps, totally easy to sculpt in. Maya on the other hand? It couldn't get the plane to subdivide up to 42 million polygons ... I eventually ended the process. Tried several other times, didn't work out. Well, maybe Autodesk wants me to buy a fancy Quadro card. No, I'm good with my MSI RTX 2070 Super. My new 3D production pipeline? Blender all the way, some other recommended open source software from Blender Foundation they used on the Spring short film, Affinity Photo (not necessary really but nice Photoshop / Lightroom replacement), and I do use Davinci Resolve Studio 16 (paid version) for editing and grading but one could do all that in Blender as well. Overall ... I'm done with Maya (it's getting sloppy), Mari (too expensive but very nice), Zbrush (which still isn't even 64-bit I think), Nuke (way too expensive), all of it. Yes, I will miss the polygon modeling in Maya (Blender is really good though), and yes, it seems that Blender doesn't have as robust a NURBS feature set as Maya does, but I can forgive all that because Blender gives you all you need in a clean and professional setup. Free software never looked or worked so good. With a little creativity, you can overcome it's (fewer by the year) limitations. I'm all in, Blender all the way :)

Intresting to see how even such complex works can actually be broken down to simple stuff.
