oh for fuck’s sake… I still can’t deduce or remember how the fuck to do this shit

if you want to connect to position and not offset do this

How to bake when UV's are far out of bounds?

I have a boring tiling texture that I made more interesting by using the Ambient Occlusion node. When I add plants the AO is overkill and there seems to be no way of making the AO ignore specific objects or materials. So I figure the solution is to bake the result of the AO node. Problem is I scaled the UVs far beyond the 0-1 range. How do you bake in this situation? Will I have to fit all the UV’s within 0.1 and then use texture coordinates in the material to recreate the same sizing? […

Hi there
Do those settings of volumes make the smoke more refined?
Are You using some VDB presets or do You make a smoke simulation in the blender?

[thinsoldier]

I’m using free vdb assets and I think those settings were giving me faster renders and less detail in the volumes. These rendered in like 5 seconds.

Is it possible to have IOR change based on how many layers the light ray passes through?

[image] glass inside the liquid looks better with lower IOR, glass outside of the liquid looks better with higher IOR. How can I have the ior or material switch based on this?

I knew i shouldnt have posted this in Finished yet. I want to bake the shadows cast by the plants from the highest sun lamp and use that as dirt/moisture dripping from the plant roots. Then I’ll be able to try much different lighting directions.
