Working on a video about displacing/bump/normal mapping Generated Normals. Will still be a few days because its really complicated >_<
If anyone can explain Surface Gradients in layman's terms, or knows how to do something like dFdx in Eevee nodes, it'll go faster 😬
#b3d #bnpr Okay that ended up taking AGES to figure out. But I now have working (mostly) Normal and Bump map groups that can take any input Normals and tangents, which means they can work on Generated Normals, which means I can now move ahead with the project and next video...

Experimenting with different ways to fake, generate, and influence normals. This UV based method works, but would take ages to get clean by hand. Need a way to generate this gradient cleanly and with some controls that aren't so fiddly.

#b3d #blender3d #bnpr Figured out a way to use Object Coords instead of UVs. Now the cheeks work well, but I killed the forehead curvature. Only Y is being changed right now. X and Z are just sphere coords. They'll need some shaping too. #b3d #blender3d #bnpr
