Ornatrix Features #3 - Creating braids with MeshFromStrands/BraidTool (Cinema 4D)

Image
  In this video - I continue to show working with braids in Ornatrix.  This time - I show the same workflow about creating braids with MeshFromStrands and BraidTool modifiers, but only in Cinema 4D. With it - you can create procedural braids and draw them on the surface, at the same time - they will already have a UV, and if you want you can convert to real hair or haircards. In Cinema 4D, there is no Branching, just like in Maya. So if you want to create a few different braids, the approach is the same as there =)  The goal of the series is to quickly show something interesting and useful related to this plugin.  On the voiceover, I don't waste time, because there are already basic lessons - which also need to do =) But as - I do not upload them very often, I need to do something else - to develop the channel.  --- PATREON: If you want to get all the lessons with my voiceover as soon as possible, not wait years for each episode to come out, and also dive into t...

Ornatrix Features #2 - Creating braids with MeshFromStrands/BraidTool (3ds Max)

Image
  In this video, I continue to show the braids workflow in Ornatrix. This time, I'm demonstrating the same workflow about creating braids using the MeshFromStrands and BraidTool modifiers, but only in 3ds Max with some modifications. With it - you can create procedural braids and draw them on the surface, while - they will already have a UV and, if desired, can be converted into real hair or haircards. Branching allows you to quickly assign any braid to any guide or group of guides. The goal of the series is to quickly show you something interesting and useful related to this plugin. I don't waste time on voice acting, since there are already basic lessons - which also need to be done =) But since - I don't upload them very often, I need to do something else - to develop the channel. --- PATREON: If you want to get all the lessons with my voice acting as soon as possible, do not wait for the release of each episode for years, and also plunge into the friendly groomers commu...

GIGABYTE AERO 15 OLED YD + Blender (2 Series) | 3080 16 gb - NVIDIA RTX STUDIO

Image
  In this video, I continue to test the power of my GIGABYTE AERO 15 OLED YD laptop( https://bit.ly/3dK8gB7 ) and in this series - I show tests on different scenes in Blender 3 + CyclesX using OptiX / CUDA - in IPR, Eevee and offline rendering on GPU - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop with 16GB of video memory. Render speed in Blender 3 vs 2.93 - very impressive! In some scenes, this difference is 6 times! Incredibly! I honestly did not expect such an increase =) The usual comparison of RTX ON (OptiX) vs RTX OFF (CUDA) shows acceleration results of 1.7 - 3 times. That's made me happy too =) All the scenes that I show in the video can be downloaded here -https://www.blender.org/download/demo-files/ Download Benchmark - https://opendata.blender.org/ If you're wondering how much performance NVIDIA GPUs can deliver when paired with Studio drivers, and what benefits it brings to your favorite applications, follow this link - https://bit.ly/2R98DwF   --- PREVIOUS SERIES: ➡️ https://y...
