This technique would work really well for a War of the Worlds style tripod! Huge fan of your videos, it makes the end result so much more impressive when you can see how it came about. I guess it feels less like some black magic that you couldn't possibly achieve and highlights more the actual work and talent that goes into it

@pawnone Ай бұрын

you can fake caustics with just a plain under the light source. put a noise texture and a color ramp on the Alpha and adjust the roughness down detail up and scale down then add a light under the plane adjust the color and brightness now just animate either the detail value on the noise texture or swap it yo 4D and animate the W value it will render pretty fast as well

Since you love making mechanisations with multiple legs, do you think you can make a red-eyed Core that has three legs, two at the front and one at the back, with a movable turned on the back that is based on the Beta testings of the Portal series by Valve? Maybe even do GLaDOS with arms that is also based on the Beta testings?
