Happy 2017

It was a bit hard to maintain a light mood during 2016. Let's hope 2017 is better, for everyone.



Because of the extreme zoom in, AS had difficulties to render the texture in the numbers (just a masked layer), it just displays grey. It happened with bitmaps as well as vectors, so I finally made a vector texture, duplicated it, and in one version I enlarged the vector artwork 10x while reducing the layer by 0,1 (and changed the blur from 2 to 20 px). Did a switch between the two versions, and voilá.

The whole idea was a dream I had on the morning of 1.1. I even dreamt the AS setup.

That's looks great slowtiger! Thanks for sharing the animation and your vision.

I ran into a problem with Moho dropping a texture recently--it rendered gray as you described. I was trying to render a piece intended for print marketing at super-high res, like 8k or so. I had many dozens of 2k and 4k textures in the scene, which rendered fine for HD, but it probably 'broke' the renderer at the 8k size. I wound up rendering the image at a lower res that Moho could handle and upscaling the output using a third party program. Not ideal but it got the job done.

Happy New Year! :)
