Stumbled across something properly amazing today, by MelodySheep. More so because I think it's just one guy, and a seriously powerful GPU or 20... Looks like Cinema to me, and possibly Octane (?), but whatever he did it in, this is a breath-taking 38 minutes of CG excellence and Grade A soundtracking. I imagine Netflix will be giving this guy his own show soon. Enjoy ! CBR

You guys are absolutely rocking it. Really interesting stuff. Here's a quick, semi-random tip: If you're doing preview renders with Mantra, they have a really nice Click to Prioritize option, where if you hold down the left mouse button, it will focus the rendering only in that area. You can also enable Sticky Priority, so you can click to set the rendering area to focus on. Really handy way to quickly resolve areas of interest without having to wait for the whole frame to update. I wish all other renderers had this feature. Didn't realise my replies would get merged. Just adding this line for the topic separation. @Igor: Looking very cool. The nib looks a bit too flat. Does it have any thickness? You can try Labs Thicken to bulk it up.

Night.

More architectural work. Day.

Reworked some of the simulation settings and added freaking BUBBLES! 🤪 Jelly2.mp4 Oh and I just want to mention real quick, some of these frames in the simulation look kind of... disturbing.

Here's a body update i forgot to upload last week 😄
