Since everybody seems to be posting their stuff here... I've been mainly learning X-Particles in the last couple of weeks. What an amazing tool but sooo much to learn! Here's some older material work, made with Substance Designer and rendered with Octane.

Yeah I haven't had much exposre to DIJ Hardware and Software but what I saw made me question why they are as prominent on the market as they are. Software didn't work on some Phones (why do I even need a phone for the software with a ~1000€ product?), the drone didn't feel like doing certain things multiple times, it crashed into a wall in "safe" mode. I have a feeling it's all marketing. Reminds me of a certain other company that builds phones, desktops and laptops ...

That's interesting. Collegue of mine has the Spark and that thing just straight up flew full speed head first into the side of a giant warehouse. It wasn't even in freeflight, that thing should have stopped. It didn't. We thought we screwed something up. Guess we didn't.

Wait, 2018 is over? Not this again...

We'll there's certainly some things that are annoying as hell in the daily life, especially if the people around you are not into 3D. I can't watch ANY movie without overanalyzing the CG. I constantly look for sh*** / misaligned materials, unconvincing lighting / shading and visible polygons in objects. Also compositing. Finding the exact spot the greenscreen begins and ends. It really is a curse because it ruined a lot of movies for me where my friends thought it looked, quote, "photorealistic". As soon as I see any interesting material while going out or shopping or something I instantly try to build that material in my head. Same for complex / interesting shapes. People around me have told me that I tend to... stare at surfaces from time to time. Guess we're all weird in our own way

Nice Work! Maybe this blueish-atmosphere-thingie is just a simple frontal projected gradiant that fades to black? Or maybe with Alpha? That should work...

No offense, but isn't "Mac User" and "on a budget" in the same sentence a bit... contradictory?
