Sometimes I forget that VR exists natively in Blender.

First Person Tenochtitlan
Sometimes I forget that Walk/Fly navigation exists in Blender. Obviously the scene is not meant to be seen like this, but, why not?

#b3d #tenochtitlan #retratodetenochtitlan

A very fast to render transmission shader that is fully opaque and relies on reflection probes to achieve a convincing look.

An inverted normals ambient occlusion map is used as a thickness map. This approach could be further extended with an SDF of the model to perform more accurate refractions.

The Blender file of the 3D viewer of Tenochtitlan is released. You can download it from the main website.

It's like a digital twin, made for tinkering. It has a lighting and material setup to get you started. It renders in both Cycles and EEVEE

I will never not enjoy the wildly inaccurate battery level estimations of my laptop

Wait till you hear about _harden normal_

Hey, glad to see you here :)

Classic heightmap painting (in Gimp), displacing, wrapping.

By offsetting the rough wood normal map per carve layer, a lot of depth is added.
