"Light my shiny render pass!" by Yaraslau Lebedzeu at Blender Conference 2025 Rendering relies heavily on approximations of physical reality, which can sometimes fail to capture complex optical effects. This is one reason why 3D renders don't always appear true to life. Yaraslau will explore phenomena such as birefringence, gradient index of refraction, diffraction, and the challenges of spectral rendering—topics that go beyond the limits of the RGB color model. He will also discuss when simplified models fall short and what Blender’s Cycles renderer can accurately mimic. https://lnkd.in/eAWKAFws #blender #blender3d #b3d #3d

Here's the modeling process behind Forgotten Sentinel - from initial blocking to preparing the UV maps. ⚙️ We always start with basic shapes to get the proportions right, then gradually add details and surface complexity. The key is building up the model in stages so you can make adjustments along the way. You'll see how the robot's form is being developed step by step, adding details that support the overall character and story. The final stage shows the UV mapping process - essential groundwork that makes quality texturing possible later. Good UV layout takes time, but it's what allows you to paint details exactly where you want them. Every seam placement affects how the final textures will look.

How to Model the Red Bull Can Opener in Blender In this part of the Red Bull can series, we continue modeling the opener, refining its curves and proportions for a realistic look. Step by step, we’ll clean up the geometry, adjust the details, and make sure the tab fits perfectly on the top of the can. A must-watch if you want to master precision hard-surface modeling in Blender! 🔥 #Blender3D #3DModeling #RedBullCan #HardSurfaceModeling #BlenderTutorial #3DArtist

Josh Eastaway shared a quick comparison between quad spheres and UV spheres in Blender. For subdivision modeling, quad spheres are often the better choice since they subdivide smoothly, while UV spheres can create pinching artifacts at the poles.

You can spend weeks chasing realism or you can watch someone who’s already figured out the shortcuts that actually read as real on screen. https://lnkd.in/eNbdG8Ey In this step-by-step tutorial, Le Lu walks you through creating high-quality PBR textures that work for games, film plates, and archviz. It’s practical, surgical, and shockingly effective. What you’ll learn (quick overview): Block in clean albedo/base color with smart color variation. Bake & refine normals, AO, height for believable surface depth. Paint roughness/metalness to control light behavior across materials. Add wear: edge curvature, grime masks, and micro-scratches for authenticity. Make seams disappear: UV/tiling tricks and trim sheets for performance. Export pipelines for Unity/Unreal/Renderers so your assets look the same in-engine. #PBRTextures #VFX #GameDev #3DArt #DigitalArt #3DModeling #3DAnimation #Blender3D #SubstancePainter #Texturing #UnrealEngine #Unity3D #Cinema4D #3dsMax #Maya3D #ArchViz #CGI #VisualEffects #MaterialAuthoring #RealtimeRendering
