Alright y’all, it’s story time, because I feel like I need to preserve the history of the strangest glitch I’ve encountered in Blender so far. I’ve been fondly calling it the “Cryptid Square” for reasons that should become pretty apparent.
The story begins when I was working on texture painting for this model, and since Blender’s texture painting tools are about as effective as trying to knock a building down with a small bouncy ball, I do my painting in 3D Coat. However, I occasionally bring work in progress textures back into Blender just to make sure everything looks alright with rigging deformation and all that. On July 11th when I did a quick test render, I spotted the Cryptid Square for the first time.
