NicoD Posted March 9, 2019 Author Posted March 9, 2019 Improved Armbian in space. Raised the letters, darkened the background and made flames for it's jetpack. I'll do this one with rounded shapes now to see how it compares.
NicoD Posted March 9, 2019 Author Posted March 9, 2019 Something else I tried. The Armbian Terracotta Army. I need to add textures to the ground. 2

I can't wait to have a good working image for that and the Pine H64. Today I tried the new OPi Ubuntu image. So bad in so many ways. I hope it can be made workable, and that it can perform well. 58 minutes ago, yam1 said: But those were supposably soldiers buried alive... Oh, so they all fossilized while standing up?

NicoD Posted March 11, 2019 Author Posted March 11, 2019 21 hours ago, martinayotte said: You should do a self-built image, it will be faster ... I've tried to make a build system today. I've gotten so far to get the newest version of vagrant installed and up. But then I clearly forgot about it. I noticed hours later that virtualbox was running. I'm getting closer to building one I've finished the Armbian Terracotta Army. Here is a HQ render of it. It's maybe too busy, but it's something different. 1
NicoD Posted March 13, 2019 Author Posted March 13, 2019 Armbian as transportation company (of 1's and 0's)... This will be my last submission. I've got too many other things to do. Otherwise I would never stop. Cheers. 2

After the TBD poll is complete would you be able to do like 4k rez friendly renderings of the top 3?

So with that I can do 4K or higher renders during a week/month of all of them. I've added all the original .png renders + all the blender files as attachment file. Everyone can do a higher resolution render (8K, 16K, 32K???) if they want. Or play with it a bit. Here are all of them. These are 1440p but converted to jpg.

Sadly CPU rendering is faster i was hoping my Quadra K620 would make things interested.... but i think its not in an optimal PCI slot anyway.. oh well. 1

That video card should be able to do well. I believe you can use the video card + cpu in 2.8. Only works with NVidia cards. Edit -> preferences -> system -> cuda P.S. @lanefu Most important is the % for good quality. 200% or above. It does take a lot longer but there's more detail. Also the number of render samples. I use 156 since my cpu can't do more at 1440. 192 or even 256 would be better. Again needs more power. For terracotta you'll need a 8GB I think.

lanefu Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 @NicoD Would you be up for doing just one more...? A Wallpaper of shame for WIP/CSC boards to help people remember they're running something unsupported....

Something obvious but that's doable. If you know something, let me know.

Sad pengiun sitting in darkness Then just like words scsttered around like "unsupported" "wip" "csc" "use at own risk" "NOT FOR PRODUCTION" "you're on your own" "unstable" 1

NicoD Posted April 5, 2019 Author Posted April 5, 2019 @lanefu Something like this ok? It's first low res render, I've got to fix a lot of things. d Then you can add a banner over it, or big letters like this. I can't do dark and grey. Blender is a program of light. Darkness is very difficult. 2
lanefu Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 Those are awesome. Good idea ill add all the words on top with gimp 1

martinayotte Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 For the UNSUPPORTED banner, you can mix it with our current one :

I like this better, but the light source is from the wrong direction. Always after 30minutes render time when I notice these things. I'll do a new one tomorrow.

NicoD Posted April 5, 2019 Author Posted April 5, 2019 Now one more for EOL? A gravestone with one of the background images as picture, a big RIp and some text to explain it's eol. I can do that tomorrow. Let me know what text would fit to not enrage the user because it's eol. 1
NicoD Posted April 6, 2019 Author Posted April 6, 2019 What needs to be written on his grave for EOS? Or is this unsensitive? People lose people. So I don't know.
