SheepIT - free render farm for Blender

DameDev.tv

SEPTEMBER 6, 2022

SheepIT is a free Blender render farm that I've wanted to test for quite some time. The basic idea is very simple: you help in the rendering of other's people projects, and in exchange, other people help you to render. SheepIT is "a free distributed render farm for Blender" Let's break it down.

Like in previous years, Godot is participating again in the Google Summer of Code program for its 2022 edition. This meant that the larger scenes might refuse to bake because they don't fit within the size limits of an image. This will be a draw mode that previews the texel density of lightmaps (without actually (re)baking them).

PvP arena could easily be rendered an insignificant system for leech RPG players. Mont Blanc Cookie is a designer so there’s a 2021-2022 Autumn Couture show. PvP arena system: Putting new wine into old bottles - but still tasting good! But we can see a breakthrough in Cookie Run: Kingdom ’s PvP arena design.

Navigation: Exclude disabled StaticBody collisions from NavigationMesh baking ( GH-65775 ). Navigation: Fix TileMaps placing baked NavigationPolygons with wrong offset without a Navigation2D node ( GH-66262 ) [regression fix]. Rendering: Fix skeleton 2D stale bounding rect ( GH-63071 ). API documentation updates. x releases.

DLSS uses advanced AI rendering to produce image quality comparable to native resolution, and in some cases even better quality, while only conventionally rendering a fraction of the pixels. Balancing quality and performance is done by controlling the game’s internal rendering resolution. Courtesy of JSFILMZ.

rendering may be slower for a second or two, but the slowdown will not be nearly as bad as the typical hiccup caused by classic synchronous compilation. The new NavigationServer adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. and backported to 3.5.

This adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. This can lead to a problem, when the movement of objects (which tends to occur on physics ticks) does not line up with the rendered frames, giving unsightly jitter. Rendering: Add OccluderShapePolygon ( GH-57361 ).

Rendering: Add material_overlay property to MeshInstance ( GH-50823 ).

The next big step: Godot 4.0 reaches Beta

Mircosoft Game Dev

SEPTEMBER 15, 2022

with 17 alpha builds distributed in 2022, and continuous development effort since 2019. We know many users are excited about the coming improvements to 2D and 3D rendering in 4.0. Over the last few years we have completely overhauled the Godot renders. It has been a long road to Godot 4.0 is now ready and available for download.

So in April 2022, I quit my job to work on making animated short films full-time. A Rogue Squadron work-in-progress test shot, rendered in real-time in Unreal Engine. Over time these excuses faded, and it became harder to explain to myself why I wasn’t doing what I knew I really loved doing. Another work-in-progress test shot.
