Lake Beach: Chicago
This is a little beach scene I decided to make based on a beach near my apartment. It’s one of many beaches bordering Lake Michigan, and I personally find their more enclosed nature to be very charming.

Mr. Badger and Mr. Behemoth Ucupaint nodes restoration

I’ve updated both Mr. Badger and Mr. Behemoth with some new bones for Read more

With other textures and numerical inputs, you can do all kinds of fun distortions to images! I like using it best with generated images, like a Noise Texture or a Gradient Texture. Read more

Arranging UVs in straight patterns and using noise to create hair strands for stylized hair
So, this is a little technique I learned from studying one of LeoTheModeler‘s fantastic models. The basic idea is that if you have a noise texture, you can make one of its axes be 0 (or near 0) in scale, which stretches it out. Then if you crank up the detail and scale, you get Read more

Using vertex groups and geometry nodes to drive texture visibility
Problem You have a character who you want to make it so that a texture or effect will only show in certain parts of the body, but you do not want to create a whole new grayscale texture to serve as a mask. For example, let’s say you want to create an effect where displacement Read more
