Blender 2.8 afterthoughts

-
So I've been learning about Blender in the past week using tutorials from Blender themselves, Dallas Doan Maya to Blender tutorials (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5gK0C5TrIwdLSZHPnr9Up6LjhbIiFTJv) and skimming through  one of  the Udemy tutorials (Blender 2.8 for beginners - Sword creation): https://www.udemy.com/blender-28-for-beginners-sword-creation/

There are a few things that are annoying about Blender and that is the UV Editor and 3D Cursor. The 3D Cursor comes in the way when modelling and the UV editor lacks in certain features like visualizing flipped faces. Although there is a workaround with an addon called Magic UV but it's not a great solution since I have to manually keep clicking on a button to update the colours of the flipped UVs,  Maya wins in this area.  As for the 3D Cursor, I was able to make an addon in my spare time as previously mentioned in an earlier post.

Also, Ubisoft, a Triple A studio, have announced that they have switched to  Blender: https://news.ubisoft.com/en-us/article/353364/ubisoft-joins-blender-development-fund-to-support-open-source-animation. Plus, Epic games have also made a Mega grant donation to Blender. As it seems to be growing rapidly, who knows Blender might become the industry standard.

Anyway, I'm now using Blender 2.8 as part of my main workflow for the Project. I'll still use Maya here and there for certain tasks I do not know about like cleaning up non-manifold geometry.

Environment Showcase Concepts

-

I thought it's about time to start working on creating the environment to showcase the water in the best way possible. It was suggested that I create this really cool Skull Waterfall environment concept art by Andrey Egorov: However, I will be using this concept as my initial inspiration and will be making my own iteration to the environment so it will not look exactly the same as the concept. It takes a bit of time figuring out and creating some of the features for the water shader. While I do this, I can work on creating the environment so I will be working on the water shader in small increments.

Distance Field water foam

Distance Field Foam Vectortoradialvalue, DistanceFieldGradient used for U channel and DistanceToNearestSurface used for V. I thought about how texture coordinates worked and how VectorToRadialValue worked. Both being gradients in R(U) and G(V), I had a theory about creating coordinates based on using Distancetonearestsurface node as G(V) channel and have VectorToRadialValue or Distancefieldgradient node as the R(U) channel. I was initially going to use the DistanceFieldGradient node that I learned about when making the distance field flow map. This is because the node had that Texture coordinate look to it but it adds a lot to the shader instructions so I went with VectorToRadialValue node. I extracted and used maths for the R channel from VectorToRadialValue and it produced the coordinates I wanted. I then added this coordinate to the noise based foam I made earlier using Alex Vinogradov's approach. I later decided to add Distancefieldgradient node just to see if it pro

World alignment (Tri-planar mapping)

-

From reading the UE4 documentation, I found out that material functions are a bunch of nodes packed into one node. I figured out the Math behind how world alignment works by deconstructing and experimenting with the World Aligned Texture node. This node is one example of a material function. It is also widely known as Tri-planar mapping in substance painter. Material Function for Tri-planar mapping  This gave me the idea to make a block out material which can have grids, scale without texture stretching and change colours the way I want it to. I also wanted to add the functionality of animating the material. I did this by making some modifications to the World Aligned Texture material function. Modified Material function with comments to help understand which part is doing what. I found that substracting the WorldPosition from the Object Position will force the material to move along with the object and not have a weird scrolling effect whenever you move the object.
