I worked a lot in #MaterialMaker recently and decided to try some materials and grunges out I created there, using them for a texturing experiment with the #Blender #Ucupaint plugin as an alternative to #substance3d.

I ended up creating 2 versions, a regular one and one using tilables and a special overlay mask #shader created in #Godot (Inspired by an unreal shader I use at work)

#Dragon updates:
- #Texture #Paint with #ucupaint is amazing and #Vulkan makes it nice and smooth (there are still lagging issues doing quick repeated lines for example, and artifacts when using the gradient mode, but I am also not quite experienced texturing with blender so probably there are plenty other ways of doing those sort of things)

- Wings are modeled after weird medieval dragon drawings

- I need to rig and send to unity before finishing polish

Oh, man, Ucupaint has been making my life good for several weeks now, and yet today there's already a new release to make it even better?

Entry for this weekend's @blenderartists challenge, which is from Dr. Who:

“Times end,[…], because they have to. Because there’s no such thing as ‘happy ever after’. It’s just a lie we tell ourselves because the truth is so hard.” – “No, […]. You’re wrong. ‘Happy ever after’ doesn’t mean forever. It just means time. A little time.”

More experiments with Ucupaint on Blender. This time, I used a bunch of the automatic layers (Dust, Bevel Grayscale, Pointiness) to add realism to the edges, etc, with 0 effort. I also figured out how to add an Emission channel (super easy, just hit the "+" button in Channels) to make the lantern glow.

Also, I only modelled 1/12th of the thing—then mirrored to make a side and geo nodes to wrap it on all 6 sides. Being lazy takes practice.

Slightly more ambitious base model, not super happy about the topology of the rope wraps, but Ucupaint really makes it work so much better in the final render.
