  1. Do you use 3D software and in it sometimes displacement- or height-maps? In the past I created some of those in FilterForge and offered them for free on my website. But that was very inflexible.

    So I cooked something up, please have a look at "HeightSmith". I created this just for myself, but thought maybe others may like it. I was unhappy with JSPlacement Web or JSPlacement X, so in my version you can stack multiple layers to create displacement-maps (and some results you can also use as roughness and other stuff - there even is an aztec-generator for Star Trek-like ships).

    HeightSmith runs completely in your browser tab and on your local GPU, nothing ever leaves your machine and there is no account and no telemetry.

    Have a look:

  2. Ready for warp!

    Did I post that yet? Don't think so. This render is a few years old, the model is by the brilliant Marc Bell, I cooked up some asteroids in a matrix object and dropped the ship into them, adding some volumetric for mood and looks. Rendered in
    #C4D and #Redshift.

  3. Here's the "downwash" effect of the tutorial I made in action:

    Of course rendered in #Octane

    I stole the laser light animation from another video of mine 😇

  4. May the 4th be with you!

    Revisiting a render from 2019. Hangar environment, Pit Droid and Astromechs kitbashed from DAZ and imported into C4D, If found the Razor Crest somewhere on the web (no readme) and had to rework and reshader it for C4D/Redshift. To celebrate may the 4th and the start of "The Mandalorian And Grogu" in a few days from now, I exported a Mando from DAZ and added it. Some tweaks compared to the 2019 version and new postwork.

  5. This week I present you all something long requested:
    Octane VECTRON:

    In this tut I go over the basics of Vectron and how to actually model with it.

  6. Another iteration of my virtual gallery, done in #Blender and #Verge3D.

    I increased the panning speed, so that now should work better on mobile, but actually I think that this is best viewed on desktop. There is still room on the walls for more images.

    Of course there is limited room in this, if you are interested in a more complete gallery (but only a basic website), visit

    gallery.xanathon.com

    A few newer images are still missing there, I'll add them soon.

  7. I created a few phone backgrounds/ #wallpapers that you can use. You can find them here:

    gallery.xanathon.com/Phone%20Background/index.html#img=alone_3840x1818.jpg

    Why is it done this way with QR codes, you ask? Because this gallery page is shown on a touch screen on events. So people can scan the QR code and get the image. So at this time unfortunately you cannot use this on a mobile phone.

  8. This weeks tutorial is online 🎉
    Creating condensation droplets with MoGraph and Octane.

    As always I hope you enjoy and can use it in your projects!

  9. Today, another Raspberry Pi post.
    This time the back side.
    All the components were hand placed on the virtual PCB. But the most work intensive part was to re-trace all the traces of the original PCB in Illustrator to get it into the shader.

    I also include a couple of closeup shots with it so you can see the components a bit better.

  10. Hello, World!

    This is my #introduction to Mastodon.

    I am a German #3D #artist and #creative specializing in #photorealistic 3D imagery.

    I will post works and tests here from time to time and chat about CGI related topics.

    One of my latest projects was it to re-built a raspberry pi in #cinema4d and render it in #octane

    I am also using other 3d software as #blender and put out YouTube tutorials. Mostly for Octane-Render.

    So I say happy #federating and a good time to you all!

  11. Addfition: But the same is basicylly true for the #DAZ 2 #C4D bridge. If you let it convert materials to Redshift the node setup is completely wrong, textures are missing transmission is lost normal values are completely insane. It was never updated to newer Redshift versions. Here it also looks as if some guys simply coded something quickly but do not really have an idea how Redshift works. Octane is not much better, here specularity/reflection materials are translated completely insanely wrong.

    And all that despite the fact that the shading workflows are not that different actually.

    After all these years one can say that this was just a try of a quick cash grab by DAZ to sell their assets to users of Blender and C4D, claiming, there is a simple way to convert.

    It is not, it's mainly frustration.
