Shader Practice 5-Disappear (99% success)

This time I created a very simple disappearing effect on a cube first.


I want to put this effect on some models to go further, so I downloaded a ugly man, and tried to give the material to him. But when I put this model in the scene, there's already a material with texture and shader on it. I didn't know if there would be conflict when two shaders are on one object.




Finally, it turned out that it would definitely have conflicts. When I played it, that disappear couldn't make the texture work together.




Since the previous shader on this ugly guy was based OpenGUI codes, I don't really know how to change it, so the better way is to add texture in visual scripts. First thing was to delete its old shader material and give it a color on PBR component.





Then, give the disappear shader a texture node. Cuz the texture2D is a public property, I need to add the texture outside. Finally, it worked.




The only problem left is I can't make the skin real enough, I'm not familiar with parameters that control the diffuse and lighting.

System Environment Setup

According to the record last week, I'tried to finish the tasks below by order. Since I havent used python before, those works were more difficult than they seem to be. 1. Package climi and GPy installation for python environment  https://github.com/SheffieldML/GPy/issues/649 (resolution for Gpy ) ???? (climin) 2. https://blender.stackexchange.com/a/51800 (link the anaconda environment to Blender) 3. Issues may happen  Error when importing numpy, see here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/56009839 Error when importing keras/GPy, see here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/19105436 • Climin installation This package cannot be found in anaconda package manager, it is currently only available via git from github. I took the research on like ' how to install packages on python', ' how to download packages from github'. All those operations are based on some very simple codes, it still took me a while though. The right approach is:  (1) install gitbash and set it...

Project Progress and Research 3nd round

Project Progress: In the search of overcoming the incompability of RaymarchingToolkit among different renderers, I eventually found one that could be used on latest RP. This new Toolkit does have the melting effect as the previous one, what it's able to do is to separate a single cube into mutiple hexgons, the amount of which only depends on the scale of cube. I thinks it's pretty fit for the candle body. Also, I'm also trying to give my scene a table cloth as physical-realistic as possible. Fortunately, I found something really interesting. https://github.com/Ninjajie/Fusion#cloth-plugin-user-guide The plugin realized physical object simulation in unity based on Physical-Based-Dynamic, which is not perfectly accurate as physical stuff but fast enough for real-time rendering. Furthermore, authors had a comparsion of the same althorigm between CPU and GPU. They used compute shaders with HLSL for caculations on GPU. I tried to do the simulation and the differenc...

Reference-GAN (updated on 2/28/2020)

https://pathmind.com/wiki/generative-adversarial-network-gan Notes: Discriminative models learn the boundary between classes Generative models model the distribution of individual classes i.e. the discriminator decides whether each instance of data that it reviews belongs to the actual training dataset or not. Here are the steps a GAN takes: The generator takes in random numbers and returns an image. This generated image is fed into the discriminator alongside a stream of images taken from the actual, ground-truth dataset. The discriminator takes in both real and fake images and returns probabilities, a number between 0 and 1, with 1 representing a prediction of authenticity and 0 representing fake. https://ai.googleblog.com/2017/12/introducing-new-foveation-pipeline-for.html Notes: However, current VR/MR technologies present a fundamental challenge: to present images at the extremely high resolution required for immer...
