How I do my lighting in EEVEE for Blender 4.0 (´｡• ᵕ •｡) ♡

Are you running your Blender on a toaster? Don't wanna spend much time on rendering in Cycles? Here's some EEVEE tips for you!

1 - Let's put some HDR lighting on! Go to the Worlds, choose Use Notes and hit that little yellow dot next to the Color.

2 - Pick 'Environment Textures'

3 - You'll see everything in purple. But worry not! It's just bc you haven't applied any textures yet! Just go on and hit Open.

4 - You can find plenty of free, high resolution HDRI textures on Poly Haven. I have almost all of them! Go get some for yourself too and navigate to their location. Pick any you like!

Well... It doesn't look good yet :D

5 - Lower the Strength of the light.

6 - Now. Let's go to the Render Properties and check Ambient Occlusion and Bloom (you can play with it's parameters and see which fits you better). THEN... Go to Shadows and increase the resolution to the max. High Bit Depth and Soft Shadows must be checked too!

7 - Let's Add our very first light (The Sun)! And go to the Camera Mode.

8 - In the Sun Shadow settings: Soften the light by increasing the Angle; Lower Bias to the max.

9 - Change the parameters of Cascade Shadow Map the way it looks better for you.

10 - Also don't forget to fix the specular appearance of your model ;3

Now. I don't hate it. But I don't like it much either... So I played and tried several Environment textures for better result.

11 - Looks way better! Now let's go to the Render Properties once again and remove the background in the Film category (in case you don't want one)

12 - It's time to add another light source!

13 - Settings for the new light are quite similar. I made them softer, lowered Bias, changed color, etc.

14 - Preparing for the shoot. ▓▒░(°◡°)░▒▓

15 - You did it! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ:･ﾟ✧

#GreenCrew Submission for @simscici: Malik Morrison

Enemies to...enemies?

This erratic, generous, green fiend wants to live that Zen life (or is he just a flake?) and he wants to keep the planet clean for future generations. Malik wants you to know that the amount of power it takes to run a hackathon, the lights, the processing power, the carbon footprint? It's a lot, alright? Hackers are so careless!

Sometimes he'd just like to do hot yoga without worrying the power will go out. Do you know how awful it is to be mid-sesh and then the heat goes out? It's worse than getting hacked (ask him how he knows).

(Hot yoga sesh not depicted. Just a regular sesh. And that's Judge the judge/Malik's dad.)

Malik Morrison grew up the son of Brindleton Bay judge Judge Morrison (yes Judge is a judge!). Being raised by a man of such high moral character wasn't always easy, and he's often torn between wanting to emulate him and get as far away from his judgment as possible.

It's not that they have a bad relationship. It's actually quite good, and Judge is a good dad, but after Malik was expelled from university for trying to shut down the chem lab permanently (they pollute!), let's just say his Dad was...unimpressed. So much for always making his dad proud! But Malik doesn't need the negativity. He's an adult, and he's gonna go live like one.

Probably.

Name, Gender: Malik Morrison, he/him Sexual Orientation, Pronouns: cis/het Career: Nothing yet. His dad loves it.

No likes or dislikes or turn ons and turn offs yet (or skills, for that matter). He's fresh like a baby because I made him recently in CAS using Judge Morrison's genetics, was still thinking about what to do with him, and then the chance to send him over to @simscici to test his fate came up!

Two announcements today. I'm going to ignore the movie news because I honestly have the lowest of low expectations for it.

Project Rene scrapped? Unclear.

They've decided to restore the Sims 4 foundation, Project Olympus, to its original purpose, a multi-player MMO chat room whatever.

The excuse of "we don't want to end 10 years worth of TS4" is total BS and only wants to invoke sentimentality of players as if us older players haven't lived through 4 iterations of the game.

What they really mean is they found out how much money it will cost to run Sims 4 servers and Sims 5 servers and don't want to pay for it. Because the-totally-doesn't-need-the-internet-to-play TS4 shutting down and not giving access to players would have major backlash. Over $1000 for a game you can't play? People would be furious.

So they are sticking with the shaky foundation of TS4 as their generational game with all the horrible brokenness that console players can't get around, that modders have tried to fix, and that they themselves ignore and sweep under the rug because some people are holding onto hope they'll eventually fix it. Meanwhile, they'll distract everyone with new shiny DLCs, that will continue to have no real impact or consequences on gameplay and bring in creators to collaborate with in showmanship that they're "for the players."

TS4 will have multi-player. Big whoop. Majority of players aren't interested as they have said through countless polls and surveys.

TS4 doesn't have:

Open world

The ability to create your own world

Color wheel for all options

Cars

Robbers, real plant sims, zombies

Memories

Consequences

Astrology

Real personalities

And many other things that I don't feel like typing on a phone, but you can add yourself.

Point is, TS4's foundation is very limited. They won't be able to update the real things players want because it's just not possible with Olympus.

But hey, grim reaper expansion pack that will intrigue people for a few weeks before it releases with a ton of bugs that will continue to crumble the foundation and create more issues for the devs to slap a bandaid on.

But that's all I have to say about that.

🍄: Rain or shine he’s working in that fishing collecting

[aurorangen]

After the turtle hatching, Sulani's ecosystem started thriving! The coral reefs looked healthier than before, more of the marine life was coming back and of course there were plenty more fish in the sea.

I was just thinking what a cool job this might be.. what if you were just the person who makes little still images of cute animal figurines doing various activities to post on social media...? like.. show up to work and just spend the whole day like "hmm... this table should be placed to the left a little.. let me set this miniature bagel down in this way... this tiny rabbit should be wearing a scarf", setting the backgrounds, the lighting, etc. ... dream job perhaps lol...

12 objects, all labeled in catalog with [ Ultra Desert ] under the rocks category

these are 3ds models man. the highest polycount is the large structure with is like 1.2k

feel free to recolor or mesh edit, but don't put any edits behind any form of paywall

today my dad decided to take us to the beach

but since it's fucking February I didn't think of bringing a swimsuit to his house

my dad's response to this fact was to give me one of his swimming trunks and tell me figure something out

fun fact: I am physically unable to go to a beach and not go into the ocean no matter how cold it is

result: I was at the beach wearing my dad's swimming trunks and a bra and feeling both like a happy wet dog and like a Sim who just aged up

[wildfangz]

Thank goodness for free public showers (it was a members only gym actually but he missed the sign and was so confident walking in no one questioned him)
