Well we have some changes made at Fans. Welshy is the administrator & a few others too that came along after & I have been made a global moderator. It's quiet but very supportive. Even the main forum has gotten quiet & not too much snipping.

I like the new one very much... the rectilinear and panoramic camera modes are so cool, and the new color mapping does some cool stuff... only trouble is I spend twice as much time trying all different variations now...

fraterchaos In reply to Undead-Academy [2012-05-14 22:01:22 +0000 UTC]

well, mostly I think it applies the map in different forms. One of them applies it to the normals (and don't ask me what the normals are) and that one doesn't seem to work as well for me, always looks to pixeled...

the others, I like because they have the scale option, so you can adjust how big or small the map is on the surfaces, which lets you get rid of some of the pixels sometimes, and other times can give some interesting patterns.

fraterchaos In reply to Undead-Academy [2012-05-15 20:40:17 +0000 UTC]

oh its a new "formula" only it isn't actually a formula but a thing that modifies the iteration counts on the other formulas in the render... like you can make the second or third formula do multiple iterations every other time through or whatever... I can't really explain it well, but Luca posted a tutorial about it
does some cool stuff when you hit the right numbers...

ah ok... the first time I saw the tut I was like "huh?" but then when I realized I had the formula I decided to try it out and went back to the tutorial and went through slow and it made sense

well, if you follow Luca's tutorial for that one exactly as it says (and you can mostly ignore the math parts)you'll get an idea what the CondItCountSwitch does... it can be very usefull for getting new things out of overused formulas

lol, well, I usually don't do them either, but I did Hal's when I first started MB, otherwise I would have had no idea what to do with it at all... and I usually at least read Luca's when he posts them... and sometimes try stuff I see in them

Undead-Academy In reply to fraterchaos [2012-05-17 14:12:26 +0000 UTC]
