TOPICS TACKLED:

00:00:00 Greetings and news from over the break!

Flowing Eyeballs Over a Surface

00:06:09 Using Ricochet I create a series of flow splines along the surface of a model. Then combining with a suite of Mograph tools we get a pile of eyeballs continually avoiding each other and moving over the surface of the model.

Volume Modeling verse Traditional Polygon Modeling

00:51:11 It was killing me that this was the week before S26 came out with the new ZReMesher! We chat the limitations for Volume Modeling

Vertex Maps for Plant Growth (Feat Terrain Shader)

00:56:08 Some advanced techniques for using Fields to grow Vertex Maps. Good info. Terrain Mask shader finally works for me!

Bake a Vertex Map? Yes! With Alembic

01:23:55 Can you bake a Vertex Map to speed it up? Yes! Using Alembic. It can even be transferred to other Vertex Maps

Cool Voronoi Text (with some Geometry Modifier Capsules)

01:28:33 Showing only the interior chunks of a Voronoi Fractured Text. We fully match the reference by adding in a Selection and Geometry Modifier Nodes as Capsules.
