HDAs hub and Labs March 13, 2025, 6:29 a.m.

this is in two parts; a question and asuggestion.

i would like to know if there is an existing platform for users to upload HDAs they want to share with the community for free or for sale and also download free or purchased HDAs?

cos there seem to be a lot of independent tools being built, with videos shared on twitter.
in connection to Labs, tools from there can eventually be "graduated" to become part of the Labs tools

triplanar map materialx June 3, 2024, 11:25 a.m.

I'm also trying to get the whole triplanar thing to work on my end. And through reading everything above I can replicate everything except for properly rotating each side of the triplanar individually.

I inserted a mtlxrotate3d node and rotated the X-axis 90 degrees, which does work for the X-axis's side, but for the rest of the sides my texture just becomes warped (see image).

Am i inserting the mtlxrotate3d node in the right place or what's going on? I basically want my texture to be rotated so that all sides display the grunge flowing in the same direction. I also tried splitting the "vectors" individually and tried to scale them through that, but no luck there.


hello, were you able to resolve this

What do you guys think about sora? Feb. 23, 2024, 10:58 p.m.

the current state of generative ai isnt as scary as the rate at which they are imrpoved. if ai tools were limited to tasks like UV, retopo, quick rendering and denoising then we could have some hope. but as it stands now, the future of jobs looks scary
