From the archive a Blender model from 10 years ago:
This was one of my early uses of Allegorithmics Substance Painter, they used the image in one of their presentations so I was famous for a few minutes 😂 #mbt3d#3d#b3d#blender3d#art#3dart#cg#MarmosetToollbag
I guess there are a few people that haven't heard of this tool so, if you are using HDR images and want to view them in panoramic or full spherical, it is a great tool.
Check the simple help because it has a few little features like exposure and scale:
With Blender 4.0 comes some welcome changes to the Principled BSDF, and https://physicallybased.info is now updated to reflect those changes when you choose Blender from the Engine dropdown.
IOR is now controlling both reflection and refraction, and Specular Tint is working as expected for metals. You can also find values for Subsurface Radius for select materials.
Given this response to an enquiry about the "Community" Solid Server project, which is the “open-source" solid server sponsored by Inrupt / IMEC, it is very clear that the project is
not open-source, nor designed for the community. Far from it.
This goes to underscore just how much of @Solid is actually controlled by Inrupt, underscoring that the @w3c WG/CG is little more than a front through which Inrupt can give the impression of building an open standard, whilst not
@w3c sure, Solid has Sir Tim Berners-Lee as a author, but if the only contributions that get accepted are those by Inrupt / those affiliated with Inrupt, and they've placed people in the Working Group / Community Group without disclosing their affiliations to Inrupt, weighting the group in their favour as to drown out others’ voices, then that's not in the spirit of W3C Community Groups nor Working Groups.
Was pleasantly surprised yesterday. I got a notice from the post office to pick up a package even though I wasn't expecting anything. Turns out it was a copy of the #SIGGRAPH Seminal Papers vol. 2 book.
My contribution was minor at best. But my deepest thanks to Mary Whitton, Mike Cohen, Bonnie Mitchell, & the SIGGRAPH History group for this. Feel so humbled. You can download a free online copy here:
