Currently developing a

addon for generating low-poly impostors of any model✨
This shader-based approach allows for the realtime rendering of thousands of detailed 3D objects.

After months of work, I'm proud to announce that my new impostor addon is now OUT!
Introducing... Instant Impostors!
Effortlessly generate optimized impostors of any object, massively improving performance in any large scene!

Normal maps in blender have been bugging me for a while, and I finally know why! The normal map node actually applies normal maps incorrectly when the strength isn't set to 1.
This causes some nasty artifacts which can be easily fixed with a custom nodegroup.

Early testing of a new "Screenspace" self-shadowing mode for Instant Impostors!

So what exatly is raymarching, and why should I care?
Essentially, raymarching is a mind-bogglingly simple method for rendering 3D surfaces based off of a greyscale texture.

Recently I've noticed a very large issue with how both cycles and eevee handle normal maps.
Cycles and EEVEE seem to clamp any inputted normal map such that it never exceeds 45° from the mesh normals. This causes most normal maps to be somewhat broken in both engines (1/?).

I've stumbled upon a novel gradient noise that has metallic-looking properties and the ability to change "sharpness".
it's also very efficient~

This update is a big one! All nodegroups have been rebuilt from the ground up for massively increased realism and utility.
Additionally, all effects are now perfectly loopable!

I've put a lot of work into making the generation process significantly faster and it's definetly paying off. 18% the render time for a better looking impostor!

PSA: Never set image interpolation to "Linear" in EEVEE!
Both of these trees have the exact same material. The only difference is the interpolation mode of the images.
