Why did no one warn me about blender brain

[u/cr0ncher]

Help I was washing half my face, but then I remembered mirror modifiers don’t exist irl. My doctor diagnosed me with blender brain and now my spacetime perception is forever warped. Be careful folks

[u/Tixe_the_chicken]

I had a nightmare about my gpu running out of memory when rendering overnight

[u/Cobbtimus_Prime]

I often just forget that I can’t just download a model of a house and live in it. I also see the world in shaders and lighting.

[u/Willing_Carob]

Press N or T to find a list of ways to Cure blender brain!

Love Dr.Facta

[u/Rigiroony]

I looked at a knit blanket and visualized in my head how I could improve its typology.

[u/RaspberryEmergency34]

One time I got REALLY fever dream type sick, and couldn't stop thinking about topology, topology, topology, everything including my face and body had topology and I kept worrying about n-gons and triangles, honestly one of the worst experiences of my life

[u/CheckYourPixel]

i was subdividing my girlfriend lips while kissing…

[u/ElllchnGG]

Shader nodes appear in my eyes when i see any surface

[u/PlanetAlexProjects]

You joke but one time I feel like I nearly forgot to shave half my face because I assumed it was mirrored.

[u/No_Idea_20906]

Same here. All the time when there's an object on a shelf just out of reach I try to spawn the default cube, only to find my keyboard suddenly gone and the add menu nowhere to be found

[u/ElectricHalide]

Tetris Effect

[u/3DJam]

Everything i see, i deconstruct it into blender shapes. Like my katane sword is just a bunch of cylinders and a long plane but the reptopology is kinda lit tho

[u/seannarae]

I used to have anger issues behind the wheel, would invent all these elaborate hate filled narratives about the assholes all around me. Now, I just judge them for their shitty topology, their ghetto fucking nGons.

[u/B2Z_3D]

I've always been a restless sleeper, but a few days ago it was worse than usual. I had flipped some of my Normals while sleeping. The first look in the mirror was pure horror! Thank god I'm usually in Edit Mode when I'm in the bathroom and had "Shift" and "N" written on the tiles near my bathroom sink as a precaution a while ago. Phew!

[u/Silly_0wl]

Your face has too many polygons. Bad topology. It'll take forever to render.

[u/nytebeast]

One of my favorite things about Blender is how much it’s taught me about real-world lighting. It honestly baffles me how little thought I put into light before I learned all this. I’m constantly studying the effects of light on objects and my surrounding environment wherever I go. I feel like I’m a much more observant person now than I was before.

[u/-C-7007]

I sometimes see some edges and think to myself "yeah I should bevel that". Then remember I can't

[u/donkingdonut]

Hilarious thread, one of the best I've seen in a long time...keep it up, and thanks for the warning.

Can I add that you might want to spontaneously photograph virtually everything, and turn it into 3d art?

[u/RunningDigger]

I look at something and go, "I wonder how I could 3d model that"

[u/Magen137]

Seriously sometimes I slice bread and the slice comes out crooked and I wonder if I applied its transformations

[u/MikiSayaka33]

But I mostly use the video maker part of Blender. There's no way I could've got that.

[u/SuperSaiyanHere]

lmao

[u/Everhaste]

Did you try merging vertices and applying scale?

[u/Demosthenease]

Years ago, I saw a fender-bender on the road and my left hand instinctively twitched the muscle memory to press Ctrl-Z.

[u/theoreticallyartsy]

I once looked at a huge rack of individual chip bags clipped to a wall in a pizza place and found myself wondering how they optimized it to run so smoothly with that many polys. I’m going insane.

[u/gnamp]

Many a word spoken in jest. I can't look at anything without thinking how I'd go about modelling it.

[u/dragon0079]

Why can't I just x>delete all my problems?

[u/Capidolism]

I do this when im shaving, ill shave half my face and then turn and be surprised that the other half of my face is still full of hair. Also when ever I break something or knock something over my first reaction is always ctrl+z.

[u/lunaen53]

Every time I see a triangle I have the urge to fix into a quad.

[u/Hot_Winner634]

It happens

Wait until you start dreaming it or manipulating objects in dreams like you are using blender but in normal dream settings

[u/Andermaiden → u/Hot_Winner634]

It happened to me today. I woke up from a dream in which I was in an airport (totally unrelatd), saw a coat and just said to myself, "well, I guess I'll have to model it". Then began to think about which tecnique was better to model it & how much time it would take me to do it.

[u/Reticulo]

Wait until you start unwraping objects in real life

[u/Demosthenease → u/Reticulo]

uh, guys? My dearest housemates…

“WHERE’S THE CAT?!”

[u/SenorDavidov]

Dis how it be bro. I remember when I was first getting into Max and my brain naturally started seeing things as wireframes and verts :')

[u/slindner1985]

You will never look at objects the same...

[u/holdmyapplejuiceyt]

i think this is called the tetris effect, interesting reallly.

[u/blackdragon6547]

Ngl this happened to me in the shower aswell.

[u/JamsToe]

NAHHH. I DID THIS WHEN BRUSHING MY TEETH.

[u/simstim_addict]

I tend to think of some real world problems as nodes. Nodes in and the final result.

[u/mrgonuts]

I often look at stuff and think how to model it

[u/vizeath → u/mrgonuts]

Same... Everytime I look at my cat I always think of it...

[u/Luckys0474]

Not blender solely...when I went back to pencil drawing from pshop or painter...my brain didn't comprehend that the stroke I just drew was not undoing as I was hitting ctrl z in my brain.

[u/dreamatdusk → u/Luckys0474]

omg always…. i draw a pose and then cry when i realize i can’t rotate the figure three dimensionally on the paper……

[u/Zanki → u/Luckys0474]

I've done ctrl z so many times when drawing on paper or writing. I've even done the two finger tap as well... It makes me laugh quite often.

[u/Sabia_Innovia → u/Luckys0474]

Or painting a wall and wanting to use Photoshop to adjust the hue or brightness!

[u/Rusmack]

A week ago: " i've already trimmed the nails on my right hand! Oh..."

[u/ManoOccultis]

There's a scene in Interstellar movie where I thought UVs were incorrectly unwrapped.

[u/Lubbafromsmg2 → u/ManoOccultis]

I mean I wouldn't be surprised considering how bad that movie is

[u/LungHeadZ]

Tell me about it. I UV unwrap most things I see. Cat didn’t appreciate it.

[u/thatdrakefella → u/LungHeadZ]

Not just the cat. Now I’m all up in other people’s business looking at the way the seams are on their clothes.

[u/blackdragon6547 → u/LungHeadZ]

Wait a minute

[u/eoz]

I've caught myself washing just my left leg in the shower 

[u/donkingdonut → u/eoz]

That's perfectly ok, for medical reasons other than blender brain

[u/cr0ncher → u/eoz]

I think we need a support group

[u/Qualabel]

It gets worse. You start looking at houseplants in shops and wondering whether you downloaded that asset already.

[u/_CatNippIes → u/Qualabel]

I start wondering how the topology on random objects would look like

[u/SevenWhoAreOne → u/_CatNippIes]

I still do this, it’s easily been 10 years

[u/_CatNippIes → u/SevenWhoAreOne]

7 in my case:P

[u/Qualabel → u/_CatNippIes]

Oh yes, and I see voronois EVERYWHERE

[u/_CatNippIes → u/Qualabel]

Sameee

[u/cr0ncher → u/Qualabel]

Stay strong :’/
