@ishkabubbles@historyinmemes No it's not. I'm British and also want to know the answer to this. Why IS he driving while wearing a head mounted camera...?
@karlis_stigis@walabe8 Thanks. Unfortunately no. The Blender devs took away ray traced displacement baking when Blender 2.8 came along. To my knowledge, there's never been a replacement.
In today's #vatniksoup, I'll introduce a South African-American(!) businessman and social media figure, Elon Musk (@elonmusk). He's best-known for being the wealthiest man in the world, running Tesla Inc., SpaceX & Twitter, and for parroting Kremlin's propaganda narratives.

Guys, Simple Bake for #Blender3D is amazing if you're baking textures for Unreal or just to use your models elsewhere. It's so easy to use. I'm testing it now for import into #UnrealEngine but man, it's so easy to set up. I highly recommend it. #simplebake https://t.co/luVlOoYtxn
@ImmersivStudios UVPackmaster and Simplebake are king, use them constantly.
gltf-transform can do a lot of the heavy lifting for you as well. You can also save to WEBP over JPG, where you may get a smaller file at similar compression levels
Checked the number on my blender addons folder, 145! Here are the most useful and maybe underrated #blender#b3d addons I use almost every day:
- QuadRemesher by Exoside
- MeshDataTransfer by Maurizo Memoli
- SimpleBake by Lewis
- Fit Lattice by Mark Kingsnorth
- Loom by Christian Brinkmann
@Lunakepio @Cody_J_Bennett@Andersonmancini@0xca0a@N8Programs@react Well, makese sense if you're wanting static lighting, sure.
I recommend Simplebake if you're going that route. Very easy to use, also has ORM channel packing and lightmap packing.
Learning Blender?
One of the best plug-ins I've used was SimpleBake. This baked all of my textures/lighting/uvs to my objects in seconds with only a few clicks. No more blank image Textures and it did them all at once.
Just felt like shouting out the SimpleBake addon for blender. It's only $16 and is absolutely worth the time (and hassle) savings. I barely use Substance Painter anymore. https://t.co/dFU2edbvKO
@PHIA_bunny SimpleBake
The best tool enabling you to optimize your models' textures and materials by far 😄
Requires some knowledge of UV mappping, but it makes it so easy to optimize your models and gives a better result over automated atlassing.
#SimpleBake is on the @blendermarket front page! "Popular Items This Week". I don't think that's happened before in 4 years of selling it. Quite exciting.
@Be_Fibre Hi. Thanks for the reply. I guess what I meant to ask is whether you have taken the decision to only use the old Virign Media ducting, or if you are going to go beyond the area covered by that (and use other ducting/poles etc).
@Be_Fibre
In Stalybridge, are you exclusively using the old Virign infrastructure? It never extended as far as where I live, and I want to know whether to get my hopes up or not.
