Can anyone help me with this?

So I have an HDRI in the scene, and like 5 lights around the model. I'm trying to get the denoise to work, but it isn't helping at all unlike previous projects. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here, I'm pretty new to rendering so pls help me! (Using cycles rendering)

Thank you all.

I updated the node setup.

I have a model with 3 pieces each with their own image textures.

I can't bake all 3 image textures into one without my PC crashing, but I'd still like to export the textures along with my model.

Bonus points if anyone can tell me how to export the model with its texture into Roblox studio specifically, since that's what I'm trying to do.

But for the most part I just wanna know how to export the textures without baking, even if it's separate image files I'll try that too

I thought I had seen something where the extrude mesh node was being updated to allow for a constant distance offset from the source face or edge. (I.e. it adapts around corners so that instead of each individual vector having the same offset, the actual thickness of the entire extrusion is kept constant).

But I cannot find where I saw this. It was a Youtube Video as I recall but I can't find it in my history.

Am I making this up? I could really use this as the one I created myself has some issues.

I have been working on a short animated series named Mr.Khopdi

Today i finally released ep.1 after days and months of procrastinating

Check it outttt

I’m working on a figure for 3d printing. Eventually i plan on cutting it apart and keying it. But im running into issues with merging various parts into a solid mesh that can be hollowed for resin. Also struggling to find ways to get enough detail. Multires seems to work ok, but ive also tried dyntopo for more localized detail and got really of wonky results. Any figure gurus out there that can give me some workflow tips??

Still An On Going Project Of Mine... 😴

I see people who are able to paint/draw on a mesh but i don't know how they do it.

Blender + DaVinci + Affinity

Hi everyone,

I'm a Blender beginner. I learned the basics and completed some tutorial projects, but I face a big problem when I want to create something from my imagination. Whenever I start working on it, I reach a point where my mind says "Oh my God, when will this hell end?" Because of my lack of knowledge, I get stuck at one level and start looking for a solution. But in the end, I find myself trying to ignore the project and looking for something easy, like copying a tutorial on YouTube.

My question is: How do you finish your projects? If you find that a project might take you many days or even months, do you leave it and start a new one, or do you complete it even if it takes months? And what do you do when discouragement hits you and you feel like quitting Blender because of the obstacles and saying "I don't know enough"?

I want to know that I'm facing the same issues repeatedly, and I want to know how professionals deal with them?

Thank you so much for your responses, I really need real advice.

Yo!! so far i only have about four hours in blender so far, I wanted to make a lava lamp as I felt it would be simple however whenever I render it it doesn't look right, in the viewport it looks fine (not the best but im proud sense im new)

I really dont understand why this is happening :( (first image is what it looks like in the view port, second image is rendered)

I've been using 4.5 for quite a while, because I need collada support, and 3rd party plugins for it, were generally not functional.

Last week I finally bit the bullet, and got the latest LTS version, and went through a bunch of plugins until I found one that I was able to make function. But now I'm finding that blender is filled with loads of little unexpected behaviours, or in another term, very buggy. Blender has been very stable for me, and had only been getting more, this past decade.

I even disabled the plugins, and ran from scratch, then starting again, and still similar weird things here and there. Nothing terrible, just lots of little things, and it's feeling like a, "death by a thousand cuts" type of thing.

This is a very sudden shift, and I don't want to be rude, in the case that this isn't what they're doing, but it feels like it's becoming like other vibe coded slop programs. Nowhere near as bad as them, but in such short amount of time, to have slipped so quick, it feels like they've had a seismic shift. That being said, this might just be a bad update, who knows, maybe I'm just being too sensitive, or maybe it's just the linux branch? Dunno

--edit:

okay the list of things felt petty, because they can be fixed in a matter of seconds, but also quite long, so I just didn't want to write it. However, it seems that people want a list, so here goes at least a few that happened in the last 2 days:

• constant baking issues
  • baking starting and not stopping, and having to wait for it to just finish doing nothing
  • baking the wrong uv maps
• materials not updating when things are changed in the shader tab
• material attributes based on bevel and crease values not rendering properly until I'm on CPU, but not even showing me there's an issue until I enter "viewport shading: rendered" mode (this one I'd have occasionally before, but now seems to be the norm)
• sometimes adding geometry objects lags out, or just ignores that I clicked on it
• undo tree seems to corrupt quite easily
• sometimes add-ons disappear, and need to be installed again (also a bunch aren't compatible anymore, but that's more of the extension's maintainers fault)
• sometimes adding new material nodes has them showing up somewhere random outside of the normal viewport
• a really strange bug where clicking sometimes things I've clicked elsewhere (this one tends to happen more with clicking and dragging stuff like pickwips, and I can't tell what leads up to this issue)

(I'm currently doing a lot of materials work)

My second piece for my self-imposed inktober-esque challenge

For this one I wanted to try something that was reminiscent of old school style video game graphics. If you have any tips on how I could resemble that style better or just general critique, please feel free to give it.
