Another Substance Building
I'm still experimenting with designing buildings in Substance Painter using the displacement feature which was recently added. This time I captured a bit more of the process.
Overall it's really powerful. I can make a really simple base piece of geometry, in this case just an elongated box then stack and layer displacements on top to get a lot of detail.
After that I can build out the rest of the material on top of that modified base. It's really intuitive. Here's a few more shots.
I was putting together a shot with the building I made from my last post, but I needed more variations of buildings in there to make it work, so that's where this one came in. Will probably do a few more.
On an unrelated not, has anyone been able to claim their APX? The claim doesn't seem to be working. I claimed all my other tribe rewards but APX is just sitting there no matter how many times it saying it claimed it still hasn't.
Also, I don't know if you all are keeping up with what's happening with Steem Leo, but you should check it out. It's definitely the tribe MVP and there's some really cool stuff happening over there.
Anyway, that's all I've got for today. See you in the next post.
P.S. When Communities?
A nice follow up from the previous post, great as always @midlet!
This reminds me of some years ago playing around in AutoCAD. Since AutoCAD was mostly for designing and engineering work, applying any form of textures or colours to different layers was excruciatingly difficult, as I remembered it.
Also, I've heard about Steem LEO, but not enough to understand its differences from the main Steemit/Steempeak platforms. I'm interested to hear your insight about alternatives such as Steem LEO, read.cash, and Publish0x - as to how they work, and whether they're worth it for republishing posts from Steem, as I'm interested to try them out myself :-)
So the different tribes are really just focused on different topics. It's a way to filter the content to just what you may be looking for, but there is a secondary aspect to the all which is the economics, or for this space, I'd call tokenomics. This basically has to do with how the owners create an economy around their token so that it has value.
No one is doing this better than @khaleelkazi, the creator of Steemleo. In a nutshell, if you don't actively create value for your token by offering some sort of products or services, it will just get inflated to worthlessness. Steemleo is adding all sorts of use cases for their token which means the value of the token is more likely to go up and further incentivises users to participate in that community.
Ah, its great to hear your feedback, and thank you for all the information.
It is true about the importance of creating value, as if there is no application for a commodity, why would anyone use it? This is the reason why, among the thousands of cryptos, many of them have been rendered obsolete, as they have little use, thus little value.
I do plan on creating an account on another blogging platform, and I'll take my time to sieve through all the alternatives to find which ones suit be best. My main posts will be here, on the Steemit/Steempeak, but I would like to try out and establish a presence on newer sites, as well.
Have you tried out other platforms, as well @midlet, apart from Steem Leo?
Can't say I've looked at steemleo much aside from accidentally occasionally earning tokens because I upvote things in that tag, the amount of time I have means if I don't find something interesting enough to spend time on it doesn't even get a look in XD
Wow you can get some really cool displacements. Gives me some hope as I was thinking of doing a lot of the background buildings in this manner XD
Well you know I'm just generally into all things Steem, but yea, they've added a lot more than just another copy of Condenser.
Yea, this is a great way to do BG buildings.
