made a tool yesterday to speed up foliage geometry generation. before this, i was manually doing it in blender, painfully making uv maps and geometry, exporting, fixing normals, etc - draining. lots of stuff in gamedev is actually a simple task but tools make it complicated

can also make more scattered type regular grass with it

btw motivation for this tool was this video where i realized that i should probably add more random bits of cool foliage. and then i CBA to open blender so i coded this.

the repetition is exactly why I try to use speedtree and treeit as much as possible to speed up the process, very cool tool tho

I just realized how appropriate "seed" is in this generator 🥲

I love this, really cool little tool. Is the MMO open-source? Are you looking for contributions?

dekvor 3 Jahren

its closed source atm. im considering expanding at some point with more devs, but it requires long onboarding time for each dev. which is risky for me because I dont know if they will be commiting later on. hence i think paid full time/part time positions are the way to go

is there an export option?

it uses the internal file structure so no exporting needed (its a pipeline tool) :)

Procedural landscape generation made with Geometry Nodes in Unity with the awesome BEngine plugin from mifth Generating geometry is cool, but the really usefull thing is working with prefabs, so it is possible to use GPUinstancing for grass etc... #b3d #unity3d #gamedev

Not bad! 2K triangles and a bit of manual cleanup. This was a quick test creating a lowpoly 3D model. Tried Tripo for retopology and it did a good job. It does render some inverted normals though. For this lowpoly model it’s fine but inverted normals are a pain when working on highpoly models. I’m going to test some other options like the remesh tool in Blender sculpting. It’s crazy how this Trellis Texturing node works btw, It understands the geometry very well. Watch the end where I made the worst version of an Axe in Blender and it was able to wrap the texture on that model! I would probably spend a bit more time splitting the image up and generating the main parts separately. Also making any signs readable or just remove them.

I love open source AI in ComfyUI because it lets me control every step. For this spaceship shot I tracked the camera, designed layout geometry in Blender, exported depth maps, prompted the final look with an AI image editor, and jumped into Photoshop to clean it all up.

I was asked a few times at work and by some other folks how I go about making pipes, cables, edge decals, etc in #maya I use the Sweep Tool for a ton of this stuff. I had to break this up but I hope you enjoy it, have fun! The non broken up video is below this post.

here it is on here instead - full 1 hour uv'ing process of unwrapping this asset in #Blender Blenders default uving tools are pretty great and it's really quite a nice experience, so i hope this vid can help those struggling to uv. #gamedev #gameart #b3d #3d

The Fondant Easy Custom Normals Blender addon 2.0.0 is out! We've added the Anime Face Proxy Normals tool I've been developing as a new tier to help fund further development ($10). Get it on Gumroad (link below.) The free tier Laplacian Smooth modifier has also received fixes and optimizations. The Normals Proxy is a set of rigged Curves + Geometry Nodes magic. Place it around your anime face and get clean toon shading fast (compared to other methods.) Easily adjust the shape with the rig for different expressions and poses, add it to your character's rig, and even shapekey it for expression keys!

I'm putting a lot of attention into getting a high quality transfer for the Face Proxy Mesh we're adding to the Fondant Custom Normals Blender addon. Even if the proxy has great Normals, it will not matter if the transfer is distorted. A basic world space Nearest Surface (aka Nearest Face Interpolated) transfer can get screwed up if there are gaps between the meshes. And if they are different shapes and poly counts, there will be! So the first big piece of the puzzle is getting a clean transfer. Before transferring Normals, a transfer space is made and a UV map is transferred from the proxy. Then any other data needed can be transferred in that UV space. As long as it is right, any other data will be clean! (Normals or anything else you might want.) And a UV map is easy to debug because you can put a grid texture on it. If the grid is evenly spaced, then distortion is minimal. This clip shows the differences in distortion between a basic World Space transfer and a better transfer space made by blending Sphere projection and a simple projection of the face forward onto the proxy (used down the center line.) Different faces will need slightly different configuration. Most of this is automatic, but the addon will have some simple controls to adjust it to different face shapes.

This is probably one of the coolest things I've ever made in Blender! I set up a rig using some complicated Driver magic and it allows me to choose exactly what expression I want! It's so fun to play around with! #blender #b3d #LoisLane #bnpr

Absolutely sums up this generation. Teachers have to put up with this stuff. Yes I know this is a skit but it fits so perfectly in today’s world.

I've made this animation a few months ago. The city and the cars assets come from Epic Ganes Market Place. All the rest is my stuff. It runs in realtime with an rtx 2070...Lots of room for improvement but i had a lot of fun making it..

AI animation isn't hard. You're probably just making it harder than it needs to be. I made this animated short in under an hour using SeaArt.Ai🐋 and a simple workflow I call: "The Cut Method" No complicated workflows. No dozens of tools. No advanced editing. Just character sheets, one environment, and a series of connected Seedance clips. Workflow below 🧵⬇️

I got a lot of questions yesterday on how this made and if it was 3D or 2D so I decided to make a small breakdown video to explain. It was created using Non-Photorealistic Shaders and adapting a 2D animation workflow into 3D within Blender itself.

The Fondant Custom Normals Blender addon is being tested, and we're aiming for a 1.0 release next week! The first feature is the Weighted Normals + Laplacian Smoothing Geometry Nodes modifier. This let's you calculate Normals that are as clean as a nice quad mesh even if your topology is a mess and triangulated! We'll be following up with more tools to support creating high quality Normals for 3D anime and vtuber characters. We have an optimized adjustable Face Normal Transfer proxy mesh nearly ready to go. Check out the Docs to see more about the Addon's features and workflow (link in the reply.)

I made this tool on a site in case you happen to have a screenshot of pixel art and you want to *actually* make it pixel perfect, which happens to be really relevant right now

WOW. 😳 Apple just quietly won the 3D maps war at WWDC. Gaussian Splatting is coming to Apple Maps Flyover this fall. Apple Maps Flyover covers 300+ cities. Until yesterday, every single one was built on standard drone photogrammetry. The technology captures photos from the air and reconstructs 3D geometry from them. Gaussian Splatting does not reconstruct geometry. It represents the scene as millions of tiny 3D ellipsoids, each one carrying its own color and opacity information based on how light actually behaves in that location. The output is not a mesh model. It is a field of light. When you move through it, it does not crumble at the edges. The detail holds because it was never geometry to begin with. Apple has been hiring for this for years. Their SHARP model, published in research last year, generates photorealistic 3D scenes from a single image in under a second. Google has more sensor data than anyone. More Street View cars, more satellites, more capture history. On navigation accuracy and geodata depth, Google Maps is still ahead by most measures. But fidelity in 3D city rendering is a different competition, and Apple just set a bar in that. Most people will experience this in the fall without knowing the name of the technology. They will open Flyover, look at a city they know, and notice it looks different. Real, not rendered. That is the moment Gaussian Splatting stops being a research term and becomes something a billion people use. Bookmark this. It will look prescient by October.
