Oh boy. I hope onshape activates proper displacement mapping before Jan!

Axel_Kollmenter · November 2022

Woop woop! Let´s go and good luck to everyone!

MichaelPascoe · November 2022

Started the model for my entry. Check out this little branchlet:

Attractor pattern would be perfect for getting a more random look, however it was taking too long for my case. So I used Texture instead.

While working on the branches I accidentally created this neat kaleidoscope:

Switched over to an assembly approach as there are a gazillion parts:

This should give everyone more time, it was feeling a little rushed.

We're gonna kill the Onshape servers...

MichaelPascoe · December 2022

Onshape users - "Why is Onshape so slow today?"

Meanwhile, we are over here rendering Christmas trees...

Spoiler alert 😁😁😁

john_mcclary · December 2022

yea, i was trying to be a bit more subtle with that lol

:'(
They made the video private before I had time to watch it beyond the first 20 seconds. Hopefully before the end of the day we'll see for real what this 3 weeks has brought us.

john_mcclary · December 2022

It's a good one, from what I saw... been waiting for those features to turn on lol.
I won't say what they are in case they change their minds on some.

S1mon · December 2022

Now you guys have me hitting reload waaaay too much.

Nice

MichaelPascoe · December 2022

Hah, that's awesome @emagdalenaC2i!

MichaelPascoe · January 2023

Ran into some efficiency issues with my assembly approach.

Old approach not efficient:

Bristle (Part studio) >> Ring of bristles (Sub assembly) >> Stem (Sub assembly) >> Branch (Sub assembly) >> Ring of branches (Sub assembly) >> Tree (Main assembly)

New approach will probably look like this:

Stem with bristles single part (Part studio) >> Branch (Sub assembly) >> Ring of branches (Sub assembly) >> Tree (Main assembly)

Anyone have other ideas? Please share for sure!

john_mcclary · January 2023

I'm pretty sure the triangle count is going to be your biggest bottleneck.
So, it will always be very slow.

If I gave it a go, it would be a part studio for each (Level of) branch and bristles, then have an assembly that has one of each branch mated to a post.
then use circular patterns to fill out the post.

I'd either make a configured branch, but more likely I would copy the part studio and make each size explicitly since configs may be harder to manage

then you can turn most of the geometry off while making edits, then un-supress the patterns to see the full tree

MichaelPascoe · January 2023

Good points! I may try a quick re-design of the bristle to reduce the triangle count. There is a chance my old approach will work by doing this.

richard_doyle · February 2023

It became apparent to me at today's user group meeting that I had posted my entry into Render Battle #2 in the wrong thread.

So here it is.

@richard_doyle Nice! Hey, what about your tree render I saw? That would be great to put in here.

Okay, you talked me into it

I zoomed in a bit instead of showing the whole tree to better highlight details.
