Wouldn't it actually be a lot easier since you just trace over a reference image?

3D is easy af, m8.

Yeah here I'll give you a tutorial for human models in Maya:

Use Zbrush, then retopo and UV in Maya.

>>575271
Wouldn't my character have like 1 billion polygons if its made entirely in Zbrush tho?

>>575273
Zbrush is pretty much industry standard for creating detailed characters now. You make the high resolution (millions of polygons) mesh in Zbrush. Then you either retopologise it in Zbrush or Maya down to a lower polycount, and do the rest there (UVs, rigging, animating).

You can uninstall every shit except for Maya,atleast i could with the 2017 version, and Maya, nor Blender for that matter never crashed for me, dunno what the fuck you are all doing with this programs. Maya's UI is top fucking tier. 3DSMax is fucking shit tho and i don't know why would you use it instead of Maya or Blender or C4D if you are in for the movies

>>575116
Ok, Maya UI is not bad at all, yet the rest of the problems are still there.

>>575117
Maya launches in like 10-15 sec with a 100k polygon model on my mid tier PC Ryzen 7 16GB of Ram, and the funny thing is i have Maya on my 10 year old HDD(yes HDD not SSD or even a hybrid) who is gonna probably explode someday in the next 3 years.

Nobody but /3/tards / blenderfags are hating on Maya.

I didn't even know Maya 2018 was a thing. I thought they had finally ditched the new version every year meme. This videos are hilariously shit. It's crazy how Autodesk always manage to make the most unappealing characters possible for their demos.

So, 2018 looks like it should just be a new service pack for 2017, but it doesn't look bad. It's still an improvement - just unnecessary.

>statue of a writer, tank, couple of people
can the writer be hitler?
the writer should be hitler.
it only improves grades.

Yeah Hitler would be nice but I think they wouldn't understand...

In middle of the animation when war happens there is a tank which shoots at the statue behind which soldiers hide. The statue should be more like protector... maybe woman idk ... Then by the end, the girl or boy who saw that explosion, sees that the statue has not been rebuilt, and decides to wear statue costume and pretend to be that statue to honor the memory bla bla Wubba lubba dub-dub!

I'm sure some pajeet on fiverr would do it for a couple bucks

15$ at most

go on indiegamer and ask

>>573297

this is actually pretty interesting.

>>573297
So this is actually what Blenderfags say regular Blender is? Because if that's the case then I'd say go all for it. Though I don't know if the development that's done on the main branch of original Blender would be able to be meshed with the new one. But if it's better in every way and is the actual equivalent to what original Blender is touted as, then this should be a better switch. Go for it.

>>573302

I know, what amazes me it's that it's new and very stable.

good stuff man thanks

Blender is an excellent program, nearly everyone starts out there. I just use blender for fun occasionally, but I do know that Maya is used for nearly every professional project in the field. I have heard, however, it is not that hard to switch once proficient in blender.

https://www.youtube.com/user/HyperMetal101

this is hyper, a perfect example of what you are thinking. He used to just make shit for fun in blender, then he got hired by respawn, and worked on titanfall 2, using maya and 3ds. Hes probably the one that got me interested in this, and he said during a live stream that the switch was relatively painless.

If you work in Archviz, did you try some other plugins like VisualArq?

What problems do you run in using Rhino to UE4?

substance designer is ontop of the food chain so to speak.
but i used to make some procedural in cycles like wood & metal. simply not anymore because it lacks grunges and it only have patterns

tried VisualArq for a bit, but it wasnt very reliable imo.

the problems are mainly related to uv mapping and mesh control. Rhino is a nurbs modeler made for designing things to produce irl. So when you try to use it for CG you run into issues. The meshing algorithms are not very great, leading to very fucked up topology. Mesh editing tools are pretty much non existent. Things like bevel or chamfering are very inconvenient to do..

The mapping tools are very basic as well. I managed to do a decent enough script for mapping surfaces but unwrapping anything that's not a box is a pain in the ass. Then there are no smoothing groups. Instead, Rhino has vertex welding. For example, if you have two mesh faces that are connected, they will each have their own vertices. If you want an edge to be smooth you have to weld the vertices, but UE4 does not recognize this as smoothing groups. It renders it regardles, but it's a pretty shit way to deal with this. Especially since there are no ways to select edge loops or something like that.

Today, I mapped a pillar I made and then used "match mapping" on the 919 other pillars. It did not work, for some reason only some random faces were mapped on the other pillars. When I imported the pillars into Maya, it was like viewing the UV mapping from the top... really weird. I mean, UV maps are normally 2D, right? It was like they were rotated towards the screen. Like laying a sheet of paper on the table and then looking at it from the side. Wtf.

No matter what you do, you always have to go through Maya or Max or another CG suite if you want smoothing groups or hard eges but without having 2-3 times the amount of vertices..

Oh and by the way, rhino and GH both can't into multi threading. It just feels very outdated for what we're trying to do and I'm growing pretty frustrated with it.

pic related
created a surface mapping with GH and in the UV editor, the shells are somewhere in the boonies. It worked fine in UE4 but wtf man

If you're happy with how it renders that's all that matters but it's not a good habit to get into. With that many polys I reckon you probably could have modelled it quicker but it doesn't really matter - just try not to keep working like this because it's so much easier to get out of shit if it's all quads.

>>574733
Thanks! Is there any way to avoid my edges going full retard when smoothing a model?

>>574729
The only reason you should care about topology is if you are performing interpolation (subdivision) or deformation (animation). Anything further is simply autism.

You can also see it as a chance to improve your skills.

>posting outside the Questions thread, or the WIP thread, or the Blender threads
Watch more videos, baking from high poly to low poly requires you to exactly follow all of the steps perfectly or else you get wonky results (regardless of 3D package).

No I'm not gonna spell out all the steps, look it up on the Blender Stack Exchange or Youtube

>palm trees with a greyscale alpha being used as a cutout
why google

>>569417
Because SketchUp is a mostly 2D program. The basic primitive is a 3D surface cut by a 2D drawing. It's great but it's not really suitable for 3D porn, that's why it's not so popular.
>>569432
They're proving to you that your modern ultra detailed hyper realistic graphics are kinda useless and don't even look that good anyway.

I still use it for many non complicated hard surfaces like house interiors like kitchens, cupboards, tables actually most furniture then I fine detail any fabric parts of them in MD anyway.
Also for large urban many plugins like create roads/pathways/etc are invaluable.

I can't even tell the shape of your loft profiles and guide curve from this. It's probably easier to just make a sweep cut to format the blade.
