Haha thanks! What area would you like me to cover?

Like Materials but with minimalist aesthetic. For example - a wooden toy horse or a Logo but on a cloth texture. Stuff like that that would look great to show companies as a portfolio piece

@ Anything you like my man. Tbh if you can make tutorials on minimal 3D animations - that would be awesome

PERFECT! Thanks for sharing your results. That's what we expect from Render Optimization... faster times, minimal changes in quality. Thanks for watching. Now try adjusting the Global Trace Depths. Sometimes you can get away with reducing the rays. Render Settings > Global tab > Trace Depths

It's new to Picture Viewer. I'm not discussing the Render Queue.

Thanks for your kind words. Let's make 2025 rock!

Thank you!

That was actually the first thing I did when trying out Field Drivers. Download this project file! drive.google.com/file/d/1avcb8YLPwpbRqU2qDFpR5YfK2QofGenE/view?usp=sharing Select light > Right click Intensity > Set Min/Max levels > Add a Field in tab Duplicate the lights and move them to the right, then move field around.

@@PolygonDivision hmm I don't think this is what I was looking for. I am sayine that I have 3 area lights in my scene. One is exposure 100, one is exposure 20, etc. I want to just use a slider or a master light with a field driver that turns light A from 1-100 and light B from 0-20 at the same time

Actually yes! I've been having issues with Gumroad internationally but I've got stuff in the works. polygondivision.gumroad.com/ Here's what Shader Packs I've got in the works; Product plastics, Clear Glass/Plastics, Light Designer, GOBO Designer, and much more! I'll make a video when they're released.

I think what you are looking for is the 'Distance' node, maybe? The reference object doesn't do what you're wanting. The problem you will run into is a sphere or field will be calculated at the anchor point which wont consider the offset of polygons to said center point. There are a number of ways to accomplish this... one that comes to mind is using Xpresso and converting distance data into a User Data node.

Give me more info on what you're trying to do and I'll make a quick video! Be specific please.

Haha! I hear yah.

My pleasure! Wonderful update! I'm still finding stuff!

Nope, it's new! Happy with this gem. I like that "Autofill"

Ok! Any projects or things in mind?

@ I can’t speak for anyone else but I know I have been a little intimidated by scene nodes. Even a basic primer on how to get started would be great. There is an older but really good tutorial using blenders geometry nodes where gumdrops coated in sugar crystals are made using just geometry nodes. Some useful techniques in that one were scattering geometry on objects etc. things we would normally do using cloners in C4D. Personally something similar would be really useful at breaking into Scene nodes for me :) no pressure though!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement!

It makes Cryptomattes work on older graphics cards for Product Visualization.

Fingers crossed with Fluids!!! I really want a fluid solver modifier with particles and not have to fake things with the Flock mod.

@@PolygonDivision Yeah it would be cool. I neeearly had switched to Blender and will still check that app out a little as it's kind of fun and can do so much, but everything in C4D is leagues more intuitive. and I've decided to give C4D another year to dive deeper into it. Dave teased the fluids here, go to the 8 minute mark, we should be getting it soon. ruclips.net/video/PwBY0LXgfIw/видео.htmlsi=5b6zp_NplsxLfYh_

In a perfect world I would perform the text readout with field drivers but it's not supported yet so I used Xpresso. Does that answer your question?

This tool is PERFECT for product viz of power sliders and buttons! Super powerful!

We have the Bevel Deformer which does that. You can even make masked selections to restrict the bevel to certain areas :-) Are you talking about more of a CAD style operation?

@@PolygonDivision you can use a "virtual" selection named "I" (without quotes) in the selection field for the edge mode in the deformer.

Booleans will never be a replacement for good Subdivision modeling. Period. They're just quick and dirty.

@@PolygonDivision however you can throw in a remesher or apply the boolean then use standard modeling tools to fix the polygon flow. It's also smart to think about prepping your model for booleans. think of where the cuts are going to happen and add supporting geo to help the boolean work better and after you apply it.

Exactly - everyone’s first thought with the Boolean is always "what about the topology" and you didn’t even mention it.

I had no issues when I set the same segments on the sphere 32 (Default) and Tube 32 Rotation segments. My problem arises when I have stacked materials with the new Bool tool, I don't think they've added support. Booleans will never be a replacement for good Subdivision modeling.

Ah ok. If add a thicken after the bool the result is a mess. ​@@PolygonDivision

@@antoniopepe run optimize and also check normals.

Works for me. If you can reproduce it, consider reaching out to Maxon support to file a report.

Thanks for the kind words!

Thank you for your kind words. I got 45 videos for you to catch up on! Welcome aboard.

@ good to be here!

Easy! I'll make a video soooooon!

@@PolygonDivision t\Awesome thanks!

You got it! I'll put it in the queue. Thank you!

Thank you Nikolay!

Thank you so much 😀

YES! Definite time saver for product renders with client work.

There is no motion blur or bokeh. Wrong video buddy.

@ that's exactly it. if the scene has strong defocus and motion blur, then the technique in the video will not work.

@@PolygonDivision That's why they said it works UNTIL you add these things. I suspect it also breaks with transparent objects since you're turning down all the bounces. Neat trick for still images.

@@Bivan4erI’ll make a video on this.
