Happy New Year! To celebrate, I created this fireworks material!

What Retro anime you have in mind when you see this?

@AversionReality You should try retargeting a mmd motion from an actual miku dance, it might give you a better idea of how the physics work on more chaotic motion

[J.C. @Cuboxel]

@gleb_alexandrov @nodesandnoodles It’s an honor to hear that from you

[J.C. @Cuboxel]

@erindale_xyz @Onnevan Non modeling areas of blender that feel ancient and can’t be replaced with gn
- graph editor
- motion tracker
- uv unwrapping without addons
- speaker object and the lack of anything related to it
- theme editor

@zeptofine so to clarify, I meant
"I really wish it also worked for lights with all the same sampling optimizations to be the same as the transparent shader, and not just the camera or emissive surfaces"
I'm not sure if this is even possible or if it would be worth the development time

[J.C. @Cuboxel]

The portal node is super exciting but I really wish it also worked for lights and not just the camera, enabling entirely custom surface shaders with the transparent shell trick, without needing the extra shell mesh layer

[J.C. @Cuboxel]

@BartekMoniewski @HotdogNugget Cycles transparent shell trick*

[J.C. @Cuboxel]

@zeptofine It seems I was only half right
The light from an emissive plane and area lamp is passed through, but not a point or spot lamp with 0 size
I think the surfaces are being lit indirectly by the image of the light in the portal, not by the lamp itself

[J.C. @Cuboxel]

it's been a while since I did vector displacement

[festivity @festivaliai]

6-way lighting with smoke sprites in #gooengine or #blender

It works with any amount of scene lights, all light types and any light colors. I'm using Unity's free VFX textures.

Thanks to @Cuboxel for implementing it for me.

big progress on strawberry v2
I've been too busy to finish it by april 1 but it might be done by the end of april, dm me if you want to beta test

[J.C. @Cuboxel]

@BartekMoniewski Maybe adapting the circle/diamond socket shape from geonodes

[J.C. @Cuboxel]

one bonus being the ability to make any geo into the pattern

[J.C. @Cuboxel]

no u
def not cheating with geonodes

[J.C. @Cuboxel]

saw @krisp_xyz make a french tiles shader in blender and I had a cursed idea to make it smaller and way less cool

[J.C. @Cuboxel]

@lateasusual_ Very cool

[J.C. @Cuboxel]

The original strawberry theme is gaining popularity for some reason so I guess I have to finish this eventually???
