Oh no, this video is now considered old?! But glad it helped you!

Sorry, I don't know of any way to send the backups to a separate folder. It just defaults to whatever folder the main file is in. Perhaps there is some plugin or something that someone has made to do that, but I don't know of any.

Glad it helped!

You're welcome!

In the new versions of Blender, the principled BSDF was revamped and those options were moved under the subsurface and specular subcategories. I guess they decided it would make more sense to have them under the heading of the property it would most affect, rather then out on the top level where it's less clear what it is actually doing.

@@ltfilm Thanks for telling me this!

Glad it helped!

Glad I could help!

Thanks for watching it! I'm afraid I don't quite understand the setup you're describing. I don't believe I connected the Map range and value/math nodes to the mix RGB. They should connect to the IOR input of the refraction BSDF. The mix RGB is there to correct the darkening that happens when connecting the color ramp to the color input of the refraction BSDF. I can't remember if I had a reason why 1.55 was the value for the mix RGB or if I just figured it out by trial and error. If you have any more questions or just want me to elaborate on anything further, let me know!

Yes, I believe you can use it for bump mapping. But not for displacement. It gives really weird results if you do that, so make sure you don’t mix them up!

Glad I could help! And oh no, that’s going to become a thing, isn’t it?

You’re right, and I did do a more reasonably-paced full length tutorial as well!

Glad I could help!

Thanks! I really appreciate this comment a lot. Always great to hear someone got a lot of value out of one of my videos!

It would really depend on the content you’re viewing. An 8-bit video signal doesn’t benefit from being displayed on a 10 bit or higher monitor, but a 10-bit signal on an 8-bit monitor will lose some of the nuances that differentiate the 10-bit signal. However, true 10-bit consumer displays are somewhat rare and expensive. 8+2 bit monitors are more common, but are only imitating true 10-bit. (That’s a whole rabbit hole in itself.) And as far as I know, there aren’t any 12-bit consumer displays available. If any exist, they would fall firmly under the “professional” category and cost many thousand dollars. Tldr: Figure out what bit depth the media you’re consuming is at and get a display that matches that. 8-bit displays are probably good enough. 10-bit will provide a noticeably better experience, but are also noticeably more expensive. 12-bit for all intents and purposes doesn’t exist for you and me.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I do it through the side panel. Just unzip it at the top and reach in!

Doesnt seem like a way to do it on the fly quickly. Also zipping makes noise!

Thanks! I totally agree with you. I was just memeing on this one haha. Look up Ian Hubert if you don’t know what I mean. But, I’ve got an actual in-depth tutorial that goes through the whole process and explains in MUCH more detail.

@@ltfilm Haha. Ok, now I get it! First I was like...whaaat. How am I supposed to follow this!? But I looked up the long version on your channel and am modeling a landscape now. Thanks <3

Glad it could help!

Is your render engine set to Cycles? I see the light paths option in mine. If it's set to Eevee or Workbench, there is no light paths option.

Glad it was helpful!

Glad it was helpful!

I’ve never used Lightwave, but I’m glad I can help you start your Blender journey!

Glad it helped!

I don’t imagine it would fit with the receivers on top. The F8N pro is 0.7 inches taller than the MixPre, and the receivers are already a tight fit.

@@ltfilm Thank you for your insight! This helps. = D

Thanks for the comment! Hmm, wonder why your computer would do that? Probably just a coincidence. I was able to run the setup fine on a literal potato with infinity x 2 resolution. Feel free to share it with the firefighters!

Thank you!

I haven't noticed a difference in the quality of the sound. The gain is a bit different, and you need to keep in mind that you won't be able to adjust its presence in the mix since it doesn't have a fader. But it _sounds_ the same as the others.

You're absolutely right! In the absence of a proper blurring function, this is the closest we can get. However, since the white noise node scales infinitely and is treated as a continuous function, any changes it made to the image texture will always be at a subpixel level, so should never be visible. So, I'm curious what sort of workload you're doing where this method wouldn't work for you?

@@ltfilm try using a color ramp after your setup to tweak the values and you'd be left with no change whatsoever (if the image input has pixels of either 1 or 0 values). But there is a fix. What you do is basically repeat the setup multiple times with different noise seed (just change the scale slightly since there is no seed input) and average them (mix them together). Then you actually get a gradient. More computationally intensive but you get a proper blur :)

@@ltfilm to answer your question: I'm making a procedural tile generator using the brick node as the main mask, which output a black and white texture. I wanted a gradient slope between tiles hence the need for blurring.

That's an interesting suggestion! I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about having no effect with a color ramp or how repeating the setup creates a different result. But, when I used this method on a brick texture as a mask for an image texture, it worked perfectly fine as a gradient between the tiles. But, if it doesn't work for you, then your setup is probably very particular about how the blurring is implemented!

@@ltfilm my issue was mostly due to the fact I'm using the black and white mask to generate a normal map. Since the colors on a normal map represents directional vectors the gradient has to be an actual gradient otherwise the normal map doesn't work as it should.

The whole property editor is blank in every tab? I'm sorry, that sounds like a bug, not something that I can fix from here. Try bringing it up in the forums so you can add a screenshot to show your problem. Or you could just try going for a fresh install of Blender and see if that fixes it.

You’re welcome!

The docs can be a pretty dense read, so glad this helped!

Yes, the document is funny. It's a bit redundant and verbose. eg: "'Diffuse: the ray is generated by a diffuse reflection or transmission (translucency).' I remember a dictionary that was similar. "What is 'redundant'? 'That which results in redundancy."

Thanks, I guess? That’s a first

Not trying to be rude or anything @@ltfilm

No worries! It just caught me off guard, but I appreciate it!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Yeah, I’m amazed there isn’t a blur node either. But glad this workaround helps you!
