The other day where I live I noticed a building made of tabby concrete, a type of concrete with broken oyster shells inside. Its surface was breaking, revealing the oysters incorporated in the matrix of the concrete. I've recreated it in Substance Designer and rendered it with Eevee Next.

Digging a little into #CGI programming via #Apache in the coming days. Many cool things one can do with a webserver on hand. (Leveraging #Python personally) 😎
@metin Dis yiu test the AI Link to Krita? It works offline and gives also nice results. The option to control the AI reslts is incredible and brings "artist skills back to the desk".
If someone interested in the AI Module for Krita: https://github.com/Acly/krita-ai-diffusion
@LouisIngenthron It's everywhere these days, from studios using it to promote their movies, to movie "journalists" who believe it and parrot it, to audiences who wrongly think they can always spot CGI and "that's why movies used to be better before." It's a vicious circle.
Here is my new portfolio piece, an exploration of nine samples of ancient marble. It is made with Substance Designer & Painter, Unreal Engine (using Lumen and Substrate), and Blender. Check it here, with a lot of renders, technical details, sources about marble and nodes: https://artstation.com/artwork/yDLynK
Just watched the Netflix adaptation of 3 Body Problem. Decent attempt, although it felt like they went through the game and revealed the “three-body” mystery a little fast (or did I just binge too fast? 🤔).
I really wish SF shows would get the incredibly easy basics right, though.
In the first episode, two people are looking at the stars from a location somewhere in England (University of Oxford campus?). Something very strange happens with the stars, but before that happens, something even stranger is going on. The stars in the sky depicted show the entire constellation of Scorpius, which is not possible in the British Isles. If you were at the southernmost tip of England, the circled star would just peek above the southern horizon. To see the stars as depicted, you would have to be much farther south (say, at the latitude of a CGI firm in Los Angeles? 😉).
I imagine most people wouldn't notice, but if you are at all familiar with the sky, these things jump out at you. It would be like the prop people not knowing who to put on the dollar bill and just going with Mr. Bean.
