Riiip! Hoodie's ruined!
RRIIIIIP! Cargo shorts are ruined!
Well, that hoodie isn't any use anymore!
These images are part of a larger sequence (of four, as in the last image) where I was experimenting with trying to make clothing look like it had been ripped in stages. Not bad, although I would do things differently now after what I learned during my experiments!
2021-08-08 21:29:03 +0000 UTC View PostGot my PC back today - yay! 😁 I added a new 2TB SSD drive for programs and a new 6TB drive for storage. Left the original three in place, so I hope that 15TB keeps me running for a little while! 🤣
Since I had no render time this week at all and since I *also* needa move some stuff around and do some house-keeping (don't wanna even *think* about my email in-box 😦) I will be cleaning up a number of tests that I have already run and post them. I hope to get to them later tonight, ...

I've been trying to get some advertising done today, and I realized it's been *ages* since I posted any works-in-progress or tests or anything special for you guys!
This is one of about twenty different 'mini' scenes that I have rendered within the last two months - testing various things; concepts, techniques, etc.
I may or may not turn this into a fully developed scene someday. I could substitute different characters, make it part of a larger scenario, any number of things...

Whew! 😅 Finally got all the renders done and uploaded!

2021-08-01 01:31:27 +0000 UTC View PostWell! It seems that I am running out of disk space with all the test renders and full renders that I have been doing. 🤔 It's time to upgrade the disk space at least. I am taking the computer in on Monday, and they say it will take 2-5 days (depending on how long it takes to transfer 3 Terabytes worth of files and programs over!) 😲 I *should* be up and running before next weekend, but it's possible it will take longer.
So, if I'm incommunicado for a bit - you will know why!

Tanner doesn't approve of his giant brother playing with police cars and a bus.

They told Dean and Dylan to go clean up around the motor pool - I don't think this is what they wanted!

They told Dylan and Dean to go clean up around the motor pool - maybe they should've been more specific?

Here are two images that I managed to 'recover' from yesterday's rendering mishap. The final image is actually high-res, but it's not the most interesting view. I made an simple 2-image animated gif out of the the other image, although it is based on a combination of two test renders, so the quality is not what I would like.
I hope you will like them anyway!

These are the images I managed to sort of recover. The first image is high-res, but the other four are all based on various combinations of test renders and so they are just not up to my usual standards.
I hope that you will enjoy them anyway!

Well! I had a lot of positive responses to today's earlier post. Thank you! 😁
I get the impression that some of you might have thought I was disappointed in the image - and I'm not. 😋 The one that I posted was the one rendering that I did before I had to close down the software to work on other stuff - it was the *later* images - the rest of this series - that was problematic. 🤔
So, I thought it would be fun to show you *exactly* what I was talking about:
This is a ...

Hello all!
I have been working hard the last couple of weeks trying to better my skills, learning how to create my own clothes and this last week - trying to figure out how to manipulate objects to make them look crushed, smashed, put holes in them, and so on. Destruction!
So, I bought a product that allows objects to be deformed in a character's grasp and had the immediate idea to try it on this scene and actually *mash* the SUV into oblivion! Well, it sort of worked, but parts o...

Also, one extra safe-for-work version that I hadn't finished until this morning!

Few more.. These take four hours each to render, so I'll get them finished up and the rest of them out mid-week or so. 😄
