painterly rendering in blender

Agent controls NPC and utilizes movement abilities such as double jumps to navigate towards the goal without navmesh or scripted navigation logic. Instead, it relies on raycast / boxcast observations.

I replicated Ubisoft's paper on 3D platformer NPC navigation using reinforcement learning in Godot.

@JTerberger41012 LookAtModifier3D for torso + custom SkeletonModifier3D that course-corrects arms

@cladur_ How did you do that?

procedural aiming in Godot

@shinobubub stencil buffer

@cladur_ so cool… is this a texturing thing or a coding thing?

Rendering face features over hair in Godot

I created custom queue-based animation system. It seems promising so far, but I'll have to see how it holds up with more complex behaviors. Also omnidirectional movement.

@DiggyMeow I didn't rig the face yet

@cladur_ do you have animated eyes in godot also?

Fennec fox

@PierceTH_ I'm self-taught.

@cladur_ Looks good! Where did you learn?

Blockout of new model. I think I have pony fatigue now 😑

@SamRdgr around 6300 tris

@cladur_ very nice! how many tris?

@mare_stare I don't really have one. I'm just doing stuff spontaneously.

@cladur_ Looks very cool! What's your long-term goal with making the rigs?

Rarity animation

@buttercupsayn It's just a hole for the eye + a floating iris.

@cladur_ did you have a tutorial for like the eye shader and how to set up like anime eyes

Second attempt at the face rig. This time instead of using FaceIt, I'm using my own custom addon that's more streamlined towards cartoony faces. I'll try to animate something with it soon.

@buttercupsayn I don't think so, it's too vibecoded and rough around the edges for me to release atm.

@cladur_ will you be putting it up on SuperHive? (the addon)

@corstonado u.pone.rs/hollhyfl.mp4 Here's a video that shows the addon usage. For meshes it allows you to quickly switch between the shape keys + mirror them. Then you setup a rig where you specify how each bone's transform should drive a certain shape key.

@cladur_ Woa! impressive eyelashes! esp how they dont look like they squash or nothin' what kinda cool features didja make for yourself in your addon?

@Mrguy56054486 Yeah, I'll probably make other ponies at some point. I don't plan on releasing this model for now.

@cladur_ Do you plan on making other ponies? And will this model be available to buy or use?
