This is the best Blender art I’ve seen in my life
Did you now your image was appropriated by the FB site “movie takedown”? I somehow doubt they asked permission, but I might be wrong…
No, they didn’t ask
I gave them hell.
A True Masterpiece.
Good to see that human creativity still beats ai text-to-image generators. Double congratulations!
Absolutely love that.
Brilliant work
The texture of the felt is really impressive too, with tiny fibres looking so natural.
Ed Harrington is an amazing artist, check out his other works, they are very creative.
Are you ok? Do you need to talk to someone?!
I can’t believe what I just saw.
Nice work
It’s not just that site I’ve seen it several places on instagram too; with no artist credit.
I think it’s just a side effect of posting on BA as the BA website allows you to download the full-rez original image and not just a lousy screen grab. I’m pretty sure a lot of non-artist Instagram and FB content pages browse BA for content for their personal/monetary sites.
Wow! Laughing, while oddly terrified, in a soft cuddly sort of way.
Congratulations, this work has been nominated for the ‘Best of Blender Artists 2022’ award in the #characters category! You can vote for it here.
This is such an awesome/terrifying idea Love it!
Thanks for sharing how you made the material!
I don’t think there’s a good solution to this- art thieves steal low resolution images too, and especially now with AI upsamplers, resolution doesn’t matter at all, you can get a high res version of anything. Art gets stolen from every website- Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, ArtStation, etc, all have a long history of this. If those gigantic companies can’t figure out a solution, I’m not sure what a tiny website like BA can do
Let me atone for my off-topicness by saying this is the best felt shader I’ve ever seen, hands down. Incredible work!
This is genius lol
I love and hate this equally. well done
