HDR Light Studio 9 Drop 2 is out today. It brings a new deeper integration with Autodesk VRED. Now the VRED viewport is streamed into our UI for a more fluid lighting experience in a single UI. This also means you can use all the features HDR Light Studio has to offer when using with VRED - like dragging and dropping lights onto the model and all LightPaint methods and functionality. New training videos are out too. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eHjRJYpj #vred #hdrlightstudio

It might not have the glam of some others, but hey, it's real! 💯 If you're rocking an RTX 3090, here’s the scoop: ⏱️ Frame generation: ~5 mins (speed mode) ⏱️ Full scene expansion: 6-7 hours Time to get exploring! 🚀 #3DArt #TechMagic

My Object Placement System: Intuitive 2D-Guided 3D Snapping Use Case Survival game placement often feels clunky—misaligned or unplaceable. Built a 2D-driven snap system for fluid, intuitive control. Rare (or unseen) in titles I’ve played. Design - Free Drag: Screen-space mouse offset moves object (camera-aligned), skips raycasting. - Range Filter: Center distance < 2 units; ignores far objects. - 2D Snap: Project snap points to screen, match via < 20px distance. - Feedback: Live red line + red sphere (position locked until release). Place: Mouse-up snaps (or grid fallback) + overlap check. [Flow] - Down: Grab snap points → 2D positions. - Move: Nearby targets → 2D → highlight closest. - Up: Snap & lock. Only nearby objects processed—lean & fast. - Application Powering my upcoming Three.js survival-builder. Modular bases, resource flow. Precise, frustration-free building. Watch this space.

ProOptimizer Modifier The ProOptimizer modifier in 3ds Max is a powerful tool used to reduce the polygon count of complex 3D models while preserving their visual quality and essential shape. It intelligently simplifies geometry by analyzing vertex and face data, maintaining texture coordinates, normals, and material boundaries. This makes it ideal for optimizing models for real-time rendering, game engines, or faster viewport performance without noticeable loss of detail. Key features include adjustable vertex/face reduction, control over detail preservation, and the ability to lock specific model parts during optimization. for more content subscribe my youtube channel 👇👇👇 https://lnkd.in/d7TPF98J #3dmodeling #proOptimiser #modifier #3dsmax #interiördesign

Last evening I played around a bit with WebGL, rebuilt a small version of the Lando Norris helmet reveal idea, but this time for Max Verstappen.com’s Brazilian GP helmet. 🏎️💨 It was just a one-hour experiment, so definitely not as detailed as the original, but it was fun to explore what’s possible directly in the browser. WebGL lets you handle real-time 3D rendering, lighting, and reflections all through the GPU, making it perfect for interactive reveals like this. The best part? It’s fully web-ready, easy to integrate into any site or landing page. Here’s the quick result... #WebGL #3D #Design #Formula1 #MaxVerstappen #CreativeTech

🚗 3D Model of the Month: Mesh Cleanup in Unreal Engine 🛠️ Struggling with flipped faces or broken geometry in Unreal Engine? RapidPipeline’s new plugin makes mesh cleanup fast and local. This month, we fixed a broken car model directly inside UE5 using the “Clean Up Mesh” action. With just a few clicks, we corrected face orientation, merged vertices, and recomputed normals, all without leaving Unreal. ✅ Save time ✅ Optimize performance ✅ Export in your preferred format ✅ View results in AR Check out the transformation and interactive viewer here: https://lnkd.in/evgeqS4t #3DModeling #UnrealEngine #RapidPipeline #TechArt #MeshCleanup #GameDev #CGI #Optimization #3DTools #Education

Build 3D Dioramas Without Modelling Skills ⊲ Creative Bloq ⊳ The article discusses Outside the Blocks a 3D diorama-building game developed by Michał Kubas using Unreal Engine's Blueprints system, allowing users to create 3D scenes without prior experience. The game features an intuitive modular block system, adjustable materials, props, and animated characters, designed for beginners while offering sophisticated tools. Although players can showcase their creations under a glass dome, exporting is restricted. Kubas, who spent two-and-a-half years on the project, hopes to introduce custom asset support and modding in the future. ⊲ Image - Michał Kubas ⊳ https://lnkd.in/eZsEA8ta

Spent the last couple days building a procedural stadium generator and a three tier crowd system in Unreal Engine 5 for Virtual Production. The goal was full parametric control and stable 100+ FPS in-viewport. Stadium Generator (BP_StadiumArc) • HISM based seat spawning driven by user inputs: elliptical size, seats per row, row count, row height, row depth, arc span, yaw offset, mesh, material. • Full bowl assembly through section count, seats per section, aisle width, and start offset. • Independent lower and upper bowl generation. • All work done in Construction Script for zero runtime cost. Crowd System (BP_CrowdManager) • Distance based three tier LOD system. • Near: skeletal meshes with randomized idle animations. • Mid: static mesh proxies with material driven sway. • Far: billboard cards with the same sway and emissive flicker. • Clothing colors randomized via a Material Parameter Collection. • Performance tuned by density, near LOD cap, and distance thresholds. Additional Systems • Ceiling generated through a HISM tiler blueprint. • Concentric elliptical ground steps built by converting the seating arc and simplifying geometry. • One shadow casting light for the scene, all others static. Screenshots of the viewport and blueprints included. #UnrealEngine #UE5 #Blueprint #ProceduralGeneration #VirtualProduction #RealTimeRendering #TechnicalArtist
