Deep dive stuff but damn interesting.
RGB rendering is founded on lies and perpetuated by misconceptions about the practicality of spectral rendering. My new blog post series describes a spectral GPU path tracer. Part 1 focuses on how to make it work with existing RGB assets.

I have three resin artworks available right now! I ✨LOVE✨ making these. These are repurposed frames, custom painted, with recycled art prints and hand painted embellishments, under a layer of resin with foils and holographic powders. Huge labor of love and my favorite evolution of my resin art yet!

Small update to Third Person Kit tonight: Camera will now have collision you can enable. This is useful for confined interior spaces. It helps avoid camera clipping through walls.

You can also now zoom the camera in and out with the scroll wheel.

Everyone, I'm making a new (2025) community compilation of #EEVEE videos and renders - leaning towards realistic side but NPR is also fine - post the links in the replies! 👇

Ideally if the links aren't super old - in the range of 2023-2025 - but anything goes!

Working day and night (figuratively, but literally) to get the EEVEE course to you, folks. Sometimes, when I'm starting to burn a candle at both ends, Aidy says I'm borrowing from the future, but I just want to get it done so you can enjoy it asap.

Woah! Broad spectrum can work to curb spread in hot zones before we ever hear of the next viral epidemic, if you know, we believe science over Facebook and get this to those on the front lines, provided efficacy.
GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.
