BUY MODEL TO HELP UKRAINE

This model is a symbol of support for Ukraine in the fight for its independence against the darkness that has come to our country from the side of russia and brings only heartbreak.

🇺🇦 Supporting Ukraine 🇺🇦

I'm thrilled to share a new video with you all in support of Ukraine. As you may know, Ukraine is facing some of its toughest times, and I wanted to do my part to help.

In this video, I talk about a beautiful model created by the talented artist @luba_pepunki She was kind enough to share her model with me, and I'm excited to share it with all of you. The model is stunning, and I hope you'll love it as much as I do.

But the best part is that 80% of the proceeds from its sale on CGTrader will go towards helping Ukraine. These funds will be used to support various organizations and initiatives that are working hard to make a positive impact in the country. By purchasing this model, you're not only supporting the arts but also making a difference in the lives of those who need it most. I set the price as low as CGTrader allows, so that everyone can support my country.

Let's come together as a community and show our support for Ukraine during these challenging times. With your help, we can make a difference.

This model was shared with me by pepunki_creatures. She shared all the photos with me, and the renderings of the details - I do myself.

____

The model depicts a watch stork holding a shield with the coat of arms of Ukraine in its left hand and a war lance in its right. The model may have a wreath of flowers on its head, but can also be without a wreath.

Let's support my country together in the fight against this darkness.

This model has a free perpetual license for any personal or commercial use. Not only for printing, but also for making casts. The only condition is that you donate a portion of the profits from Stork to the Ukraine. Any portion that is convenient for you, large or small, is your choice as to how to help. Second important point: please check carefully the organizations for your donations, contact people who know the situation well, so that you don't give your money to scammers or ineffective organizations.

As for you, you can post this on your instagrams if you want, and if you are a merchant, I encourage you to do so! To make this charity idea spread and work.

So fill free to sell physical prints and copies of this model, or your paints, and donate from it to Ukraine!

Here are some specifications and printing recommendations for this model:

The full scale from base to lance tip is about 139mm. I think you can scale it up or down a bit and print this set larger or smaller if you like. I chose something hopefully average and appropriate for many of you.

Recommended material: PLA or ABS.

Recommended print resolution: 0.2 mm or less for more detail and quality printing.

The model consists of several parts, which must be printed separately and then connected.

There are two variants of hats for Stork in my set of finished parts. Hat and Hat_Crown, you can choose which one you like better. I find both options cute :)

In some parts of the model, it may be necessary to use support to get better prints. A version with support is also included in the archive. It can be downloaded separately.

After printing, all parts should be thoroughly cleaned of residual material and connected to each other. We recommend the use of plastic glue or other similar adhesive to bond the parts securely together.

Archive also includes Lychee Scenes for Lychee slicer.

Thank you and wish you peaceful skies! Glory to Ukraine!

In this video, I show how I created a complex hair painting in Metahuman using the Ornatrix plugin for Unreal Engine 5. I use the Vertex Hair Paint feature to paint the hair color directly on the hair model, allowing me to achieve a more accurate and realistic result. After finishing the painting, I demonstrate how to enable the display of the hair color in a special shader. This allows me to achieve a more realistic and natural look for the hair in my projects.

Throughout the video, I explain each step of the process in detail and provide tips to help you create your own Metahuman hair painting using Ornatrix. I also discuss some best practices for working with Vertex Hair Paint and shaders to help you achieve the best results.

Overall, if you want to learn how to create a beautiful and realistic hair painting in Metahuman using Ornatrix and Unreal Engine 5, then this video is for you!

00:00:03 - So, I finally received the welcome kit from Autodesk that they are sending to all Expert Elite members.

00:00:10 - And right away, I would like to thank Maureen Higgins and Dmitry Mukhin for their time and effort in resolving this question. With delivery - in my region.

00:00:19 - By the way, on the box is the signature from Maureen. This is doubly pleasant.

00:00:23 - Well, let's move on to unpacking.

00:00:26 - When I opened the box, I saw a lot of nice goodies.

00:00:29 - First, there was a certificate of membership in the Expert Elite program, with congratulations from the Autodesk team.On the front of which is written this text.

On behalf of Autodesk, it is our pleasure to acknowledge your contributions to the global Autodesk Community by welcoming you to the Autodesk Expert Elite Program.

00:01:56 - Next, I saw such an interesting package - ThinkBoard X2. I didn't understand what it was at first and unpacked it with great interest.Inside was this glossy paper with borders and the Autodesk logo and also - a towel and marker. It was later that I realized it was a great drawing and scribbling board. For which, there is a separate RocketBook app that allows you to quickly scan and send your art to Google Drive - in PDF or other formats. And the washcloth, exactly - allows you to quickly erase what you wrote or drew.That is - it's such an unlimited paper for creativity.

00:02:34 - If you go to the website of the company - you can read about this technology in detail.

https://www.think-board.com/pages/thinkboardx

00:02:38 - And - they have boards of different sizes.They are self-adhesive on any surface.

00:02:43 - Next, in the package was such a notebook with another marker and the badges - which we'll talk about later.The notebook also has the Autodesk logo on the front page.

After - comes a transparency film for tracing paper and it has the same - glossy endless paper for sketching and taking notes. And the marker that comes with it has a great rubber that allows you to quickly erase what you've written.After the magic paper are the usual tear-off sheets, which can also be useful for sketches.

00:03:11 - And the last thing in the box was a warm sports sweatshirt with deep pockets into which my arm would go up to my elbow, and the same breast pocket.Why am I emphasizing that?

Because - often there are sweatshirts in which you can not hide your hands, and for me - it is very important.And of course - there are Expert Elite and Autodesk patches on the jacket. And in addition - I attached the badges, which I promised to show again.

00:03:36 - And this is what the jacket looks like on me.By the way, black is my favorite color. Autodesk reads minds and grants wishes.

1:09 - The first method of transferring color to wool is with a texture.

1:12 - Creating the Octane Hair Material

1:19 - Create an RGB Image node to load the texture

1:32 - Connecting it to the Diffuse and Albedo slots

1:41 - Adjust Longitudinal and Azimuthal Roughness for proper gloss.

2:05 - Turn on 100% hair rendering in viewport, and the Movable Proxy setting if it's not on.

2:27 - Go to render settings and select "All Objects" for the "Notify objects on render" option in the "Kernel" tab.

2:51 - Load texture with color - in RGB Image node.

3:19 - Since Octane Renderer hasn't added an option for smoothing hairs yet - add the Strand Detail modifier to solve this issue.

4:52 - Create another Ornatrix object - to use the second method. I decided to create a new object, because it's easier to show the work of this method on it.

5:37 - Talking about a bug in Octane that causes the selection and color not to be displayed - after painting.

5:45 - Choosing temporarily Arnold Renderer to solve the issue (though later I will show how to avoid this step on the advice of the developers from OTOY)

6:06 - Showing the solution from the developers.

8:31 - Saying that I got the developer's advice a little later, so the rest of the video will be shown with my solution, but you can safely use the solution from OTOY. Since there is nothing on the screen at the time of my story - decided to show you my favorite Forza Horizon 5.

8:58 - Figuring out how to start hand painting the hair.

9:13 - Choosing a Paint Brush

I posted WIP 03 - a year ago... Then the war came... And now, I finally got to WIP 04. In spite of the blackout, I managed to do at least something and I'm in a hurry to share it with you. The process of creating the beard and mustache is already recorded and will be posted on the streaming video soon. This is not the final version and of course - there is still a lot of work to be done on everything. That's why it's still a WIP and not the final work =) Happy viewing! Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays!

WIP_04_SAMIR_GENERAL

- did a basic shape of sideburns and beard

- did a basic mustache shape.

0:45 - For Redshift, I use the same model as in the V-Ray lesson.

1:01 - Create Redshift Principled Hair Material

1:17 - We set up the material and see what happens on the renderer.

1:53 - We see that the color did not appear. To do this, set Albedo Mix = 1

2:16 - Drag the same map to the Tint slot to adjust the correct shade of glitter.

2:31 - Since we don't need 100% of the map for this task, we need to create a node with which we will adjust the percentage of white and texture.

2:55 - Create an RS Color Mix node for this task.

3:44 - To remove the ribbing of the hair and make it smoother, we need to turn on several options in the Hair tab.

4:14 - To do this, turn on "Min Pixel Width" and "Tessellation

0:44 - Demonstration of the textures that will be used in the lesson. You can also use any other textures. I chose these because subscribers had issues with displaying colors and the proper distribution of white and black.

0:52 - Drag and drop the textures into the Slate Material Editor and rename them differently so as not to get confused later.

1:04 - Creating VrayHairNextMtl

1:11 - To get the color from a texture, you first need to load it into the Diffuse Color Slot. 

1:17 - And if your goal is to get 100% diffusion, then set Diffuse Amount = 1.

1:22 - Check what we get on the renderer.

1:40 - If we want to get a more realistic result with glitter, we need to decrease the Diffuse Amount to 0.3-0.5, and Melanin = 0.

1:48 - To keep the wool color intact, you must load the same texture into the Dye Color slot.

1:57 - We check another texture with black and white stripes.

2:05 - As you can see, everything works correctly. Where white is white wool, where black is black wool.

2:13 - Reducing the size of the wool to better see how Ornatrix is working out the colors.

2:24 - Subscribers have been asking why it works the other way around for them. Because the bug is that you load all the textures in the Melanin slot... If you do everything as I showed you, everything will work.

2:47 - In the next video we'll talk about Redshift.

In this video - I show the DemoClump brush in Ornatrix for Unreal Engine 5. This brush can be used to manually create Clumps from selected hair. Sometimes you need this when you just need to manually edit something. Yes, we have the Clumper modifier and we have manual selection of guides there too, but this brush is also - sometimes - useful =) Because you have complete control over how the Clump will behave. 

This brush can be used with both Edit Guides and regular hair, which you get after using the Create brush. 

___

The purpose of the series - quickly show something interesting and useful related to this plugin. 

I do not spend time on the voiceover, as there are already basic lessons - which also need to do =) But since - I do not upload them very often, need to do something else - to grow the channel.

___

TIMING:

0:00 - Select the User tool

0:07 - Go to the User Brushes tab and activate the DemoClump brush

0:18 - Select the desired amount of hair

0:21 - Activate "Affect Selected Only" to make the affects of the brush apply only to selected hair

0:24 - Using the tool. I'm showing this fairly quickly, without wasting time making a perfect selection. Clearly, you can select more neatly and get the right bundle of hair.
