Your recent load of tutorials have been incredible, I like how quick and direct they are. I'm a beginner but these are really useful. If there was a way you could make a tutorial in this format but about more generalized end-products or concepts (rather than making a scene or objects) then I think you'd be one of the biggest channels. As a noob I'm not even sure if that's possible though!!

Hey man, great tutorial! I do have one problem tho. When ever I set the depth of field below 0.2, My DNA and my World texture clips out. half of the world Texture turns black as well the DNA that is closest to the camera. I have tried everything I can think of. Ive toggled the "Clip start and end" on both the camera and in the view tab. Any suggestions? thank you

@KevBinge 4 жыл бұрын

That’s very strange. Clipping planes just cut off the near and far stuff that gets rendered. Try going really small like .02 and see what happens, then try 2.0 and see if there’s any real change? I’m curious... thanks!

I’ll have to do a video on it down the line, but they are available for transparent objects, just different from Cycles. Do mean like a shadow catcher for EEVEE? Thanks!

I did it exectly step by step but my material looks a lot different, subsurface looks different. Is it possibile that this is because i did it in a very small scale?

@Wzxxx 4 жыл бұрын

I spent hourse to figure it why. I think this is because of refraction turned on. It makes a lot of difference. If it is turned on it somehow kills subsurface. I had it turned off before and even small subsurface gives a much more relistic effect. In tutorial it is turned on. On the other i am not sure if in tutorial he turned on subsurface translucency and screen space refraction on in material settings?
