His Demons As I said, creating this scene wasn’t without it’s share of weird bugs. I had a lot of lights showing through meshes. (I painted them out of the final images) Above you can see the Demons eyes shining through the back of his skull & the headlights of the car showing through the fender & hood. It’s either my inept fumbling through Blender and not knowing how to solve problems yet or perhaps EEVEE bugs in Blender 2.82a(?) EEVEE’s amazing, but I’m not digging the way it deals with lights & think I might stick with Cycles until something improves. I really don’t like how the flashlight, car lights & streetlamps look dull and strange rather than coming from a definitive, strong light source. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578e6a3de4fcb5c5391c7642/1589941161779-3WIMGSTH50EI0IGDE3OF/Onlooker-SolidMode.jpg 3D Blog - Henry VS.

(Still using Matcaps rather than a material at this point) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578e6a3de4fcb5c5391c7642/1549400837747-IQHIEEALDGXORKQE6LI2/Anvil-UV_Unwrap.jpg 3D Blog - Creating an Anvil - UV Mapping Next was unwrapping the Anvil’s UV’s and fixing any areas where the mesh was too stretched. This was a bit of a brain twist—you have to imagine the entire 3D object has been unfolded into a flat piece of paper. I applied the brick texture (Thanks once again to Poliigon.com) to help see any problem areas if the bricks were distorted or stretched. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578e6a3de4fcb5c5391c7642/1549400834812-VIC8GDU3SFEP7B0MBNEQ/Anvil-UV_Unwarp_Test.jpg 3D Blog - Creating an Anvil - Testing the UV's Then I setup a simple camera & some lights to test my UV unwrapping.

You can see how much more realistic the texture to the bready part of the donut looks & I was able to customize the look of the plate through colour ramp. Although I still have those darn sprinkles intersecting & can’t seem to find info online how to prevent it. They were generated as a hair particle system. Anyone have any thoughts on how to fix? …Gonna keep plugging at it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/578e6a3de4fcb5c5391c7642/1549062782528-2XP6UKZL0X84GVYEJGVE/BradsDonut-3rdRender-SolidShading.jpg 3D Blog - My FIRST blog post AND my FIRST 3D project!!!! - The Solid Shade of my 3rd Render Created the spoon, napkin & the new donut with the cherry on top ALL BY MYSELF!!!
