hyperpop girlies need their LEDs
@hasznat needed that music video shot and you know you have to have those nice 🅱️right eleeDEEs on your face. But there wasn't any money for LEDs so I served up some Blender DIY aesthetic ⚫
time to live: 3 hours
time to die: the rest of your fucking life
part 1: manufacture light emitting diode
So I'm in my lab you know in my zone just chillin bein gay then that alarm bell sounds 🚨 (well it doesn't flash yet because we don't have an LED lol) and production resumes...
Ok so how do you make an LED? It's gonna look budget because we're on a budget. Ok so you take something called an UV sphere here you go
now slap a material on it and crank that emissive shader up till you get a light source
every LED needs a case that lets the light through but not all of it so you know you're protected from the extreme heat
copy the sphere, make it a bit bigger, then stick a different material on it so it's see-through
sickening, now we just need like 100 more of those
part 2: many more LEDS
you could duplicate them one by one but why do that when you can write code. Actually why write code when a) you've just quit your stupid software engineering job and b) Blender lets you program by sticking nodes together with Geometry Nodes.
