Ready to make your first app template? These guys live close to the addons folder, which will be different depending on your os. They are also a great way to test your addons in a pristine environment. Blender already comes with some app templates of its own, but the real power is always in suiting Blender to your own workflow.Īpp templates are very useful while working on projects for different clients, and a must-have when recording video tutorials. We can pick an application template when we start Blender, through the splash screen or the File > New submenu. App templates can also run custom Python code when switching to the template and when changing away from it. This includes different startup files, addons and even splash screens. Making video tutorials? Juggling multiple projects? Ever wanted to switch between different Blender setups without having to remember what preferences to flip every time? Application templates allow you to save Blender configurations and easily swap between them. I highly recommend using this as it saves a lot of time playing with materials.Using app templates to boost productivity

I tested Principled Shader, which looks great with above changes.

With same level of quality/smoothness without denoiser it would have taken at least 5 times longer. The Denoiser provides a really nice and smooth result with 100 samples and attached image took 4.5 seconds to render. Enabled Denoiser feature which is available on the newest Blender 2.79, so in order to use this you need to update your Blender.

Fixed shadows (frames), they wasn't good enough as they had mixed black, dark blue and graininess mixed. Fixed lighting, I don't know why I put that crappy mix node to mix shadow and image. It'll affect specular/glossy materials much more than matte materials by making them have a tint of sky blue. Added sky texture which will allow more realistic renders. Attach signature (signatures can be changed in profile)įinally got some time and interest to check Cycles, this attached image is just freshly rendered from RA2 template.
