oh yeah the way this thing morphs into the cloth is too suspicious, that can't just happen naturally. Even if the artefacts were bad denoising, you'll have to REALLY try hard to make it look the same when squinting

the things look like this btw. You sit on it and steer and brake with your legs. It was a popular activity growing up here in Algeria

I had an idea : racing with makeshift street luges (we used to make those with wooden planks and ball bearings for wheels)
I already had a curvy road in the map, and the husky drift prototype logic and physics, so...
Some polish, obstacles and replacing with the robot models and it'll be perfect

Check out Range, my latest exploration of how far we can push a scene using Nanite Voxelization, 200 Trillion Polys Scattered with PCG on a 16k x 16k Resolution Houdini Landscape.

I think of it as a different kind of skill with its own rules and logic. Avoiding NGons entirely until you master quad-only seems like waiting until you have a driver's license to start learning mountain biking

A giant black cat's silhouette cuts through the cityscape at night. It stares at the viewer, back arched.

detailed the hull some, doin the ol bevel n' bool workflow. been so deep in the subd trenches recently, this workflow feels like R&R, just so simple.

uhh anyways, added a folding davit for reloading the weapons in the field and a hard kill aps. and other things.

I thought about using spray paint and the toothbrush splatter technique, but dry spray shampoo is clever!

The scans didn't help a lot except with the potatoes, everything else was sculpted. Not too detailed, but I think it's enough to start texturing

"Neither death nor rebirth.
Neither a lesson nor a punishment.
The random will of the random world.

A shattered memory of all the former incarnations I left behind.
Desperate to break the vicious cycle of falling asleep and waking up.

Merging into one, but no longer being"

All printers are the spawn of Satan. it doesn't matter if it's inkjet, laser (most of them), 3D resin or extrusion. They have no respect for us and they can sense urgency and fear

You can delete the segments after baking. You can also make your highpoly have fewer circular segments where possible amd it will bake much better.
But yes, if you have access to the bevel shader you can use that instead, it's easier
