The Pyr-art Guy

Re: TPG's 3D Art Thread (with 2D sometimes)

This is kinda nitpicky, but there's one Shy Guy at the end of the gif who just floats there.
 
Re: TPG's 3D Art Thread (with 2D sometimes)

That's because the Shy Guy in the middle is still technically bound by the tiny cube, whereas the other Shy Guys collided with each other, forcing them all out of the cube.

Your work is really nice, mostly! Try to maybe fix the shy guy with the pencil's eyes, as the shading around the eyes is blocky and weird. Also, in the recent green cube animation, some of the shy guys at the bottom seem to evaporate. Try to somehow fix that. Although I know nothing about Blender, so I probably shouldn't be talking right now :P

Yeah, that's caused by the transparency issues with ezgif.com. It can't do translucency, only 100% opaque or 0%, so when something blurs, the translucent pixels either get removed or made 100% opaque.

I did it the other way round this time.

The render is pretty good buuuut I don't like the noisy shadows

That's an issue with my laptop, not Blender. More powerful PCs are able to create clear, noiseless renders because of better processing, but my old thing? Nah.

gotta bump this all the way to "ongoing fan projects"

Thew together a new rendering engine and some material experiments.

Also, I found the key to tackling grain and noise- more power! Making my computer sound like a hairdryer can't be good, but it gets results, so boo-yeah.

...alright, there's still noise, but I'm pushing the 'puter's limits here. Don't want another crash while I've got a whole document of unsaved awards stuff open!

My laptop sounded like a broken hoover.

But at least I sorted out fluid simulations and cranked up the samples.
 
Re: TPG's 3D Art Thread (with 2D sometimes)

welp, my laptop's fans broke.

so I can't do anything that requires lots of power.

so instead of doing these flashy 3D material abstractions, I experimented with creating a set of 2D planes with textures to make an animation similar to Paper Mario's style of having separate textures for every part of the body.
