This wiki is a collection of practical notes, workflows, and technical tips for tools such as Blender, Daz Studio, and Substance Painter.
It tries to focus on real-world rendering workflows, shader techniques, and troubleshooting information that can often be difficult to find or easily lost across forums, videos, and social media.
The content here is currently limited but it is being added to all the time. Be aware that in most cases these articles are not step-by-step tutorials and should be used to obtain knowledge or help push you in the right direction. There are some articles that do show step-by-step instructions for clarity, these may eventually go out of date, but the base knowledge should still be of use.
This wiki is the home of the Blender CMD Launcher, as small app designed to allow launching Blender in headless mode via a GUI to take advantage of the VRAM savings gained by running Blender for rendering without loading the viewport.
You can find more at the dedicated Blender CMD Launcher page or on the Github repo.
This wiki is also the home of a small app for combining channels from multiple images into a single image, also known as channel packing. This is an industry standard method of reducing VRAM usage by combining multiple single channel textures into a single image. It saves memory in programs, like Blender, that perform texture operations on the GPU using a common image API that reserves 4 channels (and therfore uses the memory of) regardless of the number of channels your input image actually has.
You can find more about it on the dedicated Channel Merger page or on the Channel Merger Github repo. A Windows and Linux build are now available. You can also pull the source, install requirements via python/pip and run it manually if you prefer.
This wiki is maintained as a long-term knowledge archive for rendering workflows and technical notes.
Much of the content originates from personal notes, experience and years of using the applications, curated into structured articles so it can be easily referenced and shared. It is both for my own use as well as anyone who finds this little corner of the internet.
In essense it exists to preserve practical knowledge that is often scattered across forums, videos, and platforms like Discord whose content lives outside of the usual searchable internet.
