I want the object in a different material and found the mold prints better for small details.

>>573470
Why project it??
dude, just use curve slash
remove half of the model
slap in a cube there
and dynamesh

Show the mesh. I bet you pleb used nurbs

And the faggot OP vanished.
My assumption was right then.

I tried SFM once for a couple of days, but when I realized how complicated it is and how much you need to learn, I figured it would be better to spend that time actually learning a "real" software that could also potentialy get me a career.

>>567801

And actually with that software you could make overwatch porn, and get a job so it's a win/win situation

>>567801
Are you for real?

I bet he struggled while making this tut because the texture resolution of a full mecha isn't high enough to add realistic-sized fingerprints.

>>574181
>realistic-sized fingerprints
That's what it's all about, right? Not the fact that the overall thing hurts to look at and not in a good way. But I guess that's another example of how your generation sucks so much it can't even comprehend how much it sucks.

this shit is ugly and just makes a person think

work of rico cilliers. he works with zbrush and blender.
if you want to just use a pre-made basemesh and just focus on the armor there are a few tips i can give you, especially if you are planning on using blender exclusively

1.make sure you have good system specs, you gonna need lot of subdividing to get shapes right, this is even more significant if you want to sculpt things like scratches or damages
2.using shrinkwrap+snap to surface of other objects is key factor to your work. make sure to use xray and ambient occlusion to better see what you are doing (AO takes more computing power, especially for highpoly)
3.don't apply any modifiers unless you have to,hide meshes you are not currently using - this will put less stress on your computer.

here are bunch of tutorials you can use

Awesome, I appreciate all the help and links. Thankfully I have a pretty decent rig so I can work with a high poly count and AO.

So, when I use the shrink wrap I should put an object, like a sphere, over the body I've sculpted, then begin working out the rough shapes of the armor from the sphere? also, I plan on drawing a lot of the details(like pic) and doing traditional animation over the base mesh so at this point I just need to get the shapes and proportions right.

>>574176
It's not designed to handle triangulated meshes, switch to blender

>>574176

Do not listen to this retard >>574205. Fusion is great, but you're gonna have to get a retopo program (I recommend Maya, if you're using Fusion since Blender is the opposite of Autodesks UI systems and you will mesh right into Maya because you work in Fusion).

As for your question, cgpeers is your friend. It's how I learned.

Portrait and Profile?

>>573813

Sup mate. The word you're looking for is "ortho", though character sheet or model sheet works too sometimes.

also the sweep function doesn't work with sharp angles like this.

use a real 3d program

>>573755
Such as? Keep in mind I have to be able to set up models with exact measurements ?

go right ahead

>>567395
Ok,sir,what software should I use?
I herd Blender was good.

>>567395
Also,what are some possible problems I could face?

>put out casting ad for thicc girls
>Have her step into scan box
>Argue with her about price till I kick her out, slut
>Load into instant girl.exe
>Her face isn't great so I pirate one of the hottest teen popstar to use instead
>Open up MadMan471's 'Deluxe All Purpose Boobs' plugin to make her boobs a bit bigger
>Load realistic vagina plug-in an make it tight with a nice camel toe
>Change her hair to something futureistic
>Load dominant personality
>Hit print
>She walks out of the printer and knocks me out with one punch the pops my balls with her heels before fucking me non stop for hours

Wow what a life I can't wait

Not gonna lie, Id fucking love to have me some thicc Di Niro dickgirl porn.

skyrim doesn't have a skin shader it's just color+specular lol

>>574021
oh shit, but those shitty textures make wonders I cant explain
Anyway, I can only work with diffuses, how do I get satisfying results?

>>574027
make sure you work in linear space

a thread died for this

When?

>>573990
The moment this one was created.

Why is a picture of a penis on fire hanged over the twin bed? I don't think it's a good omen for the couple that would use that bed.

And there's also mirror polished balls hanging from the ceiling. And why are there two butt plugs and a copy of Mein Kamps on the table if the female side of the bed is untouched? The guy who lives there must have issues.

>>571680

Your bedding looks like wet suit type rubbery material. I think you need more specular break up with some cloth normal/bump, look into facing ratios of cloth materials and maybe increase roughness.

>unsolicited advice

Just continueing on until the model looks right?

>>571343
Yeah, but I don't know how some brushes work exactly. The smooth brush decimates my model even when I change the settings, but on the tutorial I'm watching this doesn't happen, and so on...

>>571345
turn down z intensity while holding shift

They're not gonna ask you for your fucking licenses retarded

>>573943
If asked, I lie my ass off and tell them I have a copy from years ago while attending university or while taking classes to keep up.

I usually feel out the person before I tell the truth. There's nothing wrong with learning from cracks, as long as you have never made a profit and can convey that to the interviewer that you're not only there to learn but you take pride in your work (ie you have a fucking awesome portfolio) that's all they care about in most places I've been.

Remember, this "industry" would not exist whatsoever, if people didn't crack the programs. The Studios or whoever the fuck is in charge is the one buying the licenses. They want you because of your skill set. So don't be ashamed of that. You only exist to them because of what you can churn out as an artist and how fast you can do it. I wouldn't go on a bragging spree about how everything you do or own is a crack but there's really no other way you could've learned it fully, the way you have.

It's just an ethics thing really. Some people are chill about it, some people will give a shit.

>>573950
>as long as you have never made a profit
Well the thing is, lets see you were like a freelancer that used cracked programs (because lets be real 99,9999% of the people on sites like Upwork or Freelancer didn't buy their program) Would you still show your profile to your boss for him to see how good you are or would you just leave that shit deep into the net for no one to see?
