>>what are some tips,tricks, and things to know from people with actual experience in 3D printing

It's an over-saturated market which is dominated by China and the far east already.

1. Expensive. 3d printers are the new laser printer scam. Parts and maintenance will cost you more then what you paid for the printer.

2. Slow and Disappointing. Printing can take up to a day and will need a bath for several days to get rid of residual particles

3. Annoying people. The market caters to the maker crowd which is choked full of genuine autistics and beta-males. 9 times out 10 what ever advice you get it will come from somebody who takes anxiety meds and has a "condition"

Ive wondered this myself. But in a different way. I dont think of where to learn but how to start a said 3D object. Like where do you start when building that gun.

Try to get a student license for solidworks

fusion 360

aside from the lack of focus, and interest the composition is very bland

its like you used the same material for everything.
that brick wall probably bothers me the most. but you need proper reflections and composition, i suggest you use HDRI

If all windows of terrorists homes were like yours, 9/11 would never have happened.

You should aim for quads, which means polygons with 4 sides.

That said of you can get away with n-gons but you shouldn't aim for them. Like i can tell just by looking at that, you'll probably run into pinching if you subdivide that mesh.

If you are looking how to make that right in the sense that you are trying to reduce edges, google how to terminate edge loops.

Will google. Thx for the info.

>That said of you can get away with n-gons...

true, but not concave n-gons which is what OP has! I hate those.

If all planes were made like your, 9/11 would never have happened.

Does this mean it is good or so bad it would never be used ? jk

Cant decide if you are troll or not.
I dont like your kind at all.

>>566083
terrible composition

>>566083
shit tier troll.

this will by no means easy to do, you could have a look at something called "photogrammetry" (scanning photos to make badly made 3D models) then ones you have 3D data "retopology" (converting the badly made models into good ones) all the other things you want to do should be relatively simple.

>>565995
no photoscan or stitching required, its a full body MRI which has all of the information needed to generate a dermal 'shell' and the internal structures I want. What I want is the best tool for cleaning up and assembling the 3D pieces. I intend to manually smooth and isolate the parts.

I should also mention Id like some ability to animate in an info-graphic style so the m

>>566003
you could do that in almost anything, if you don't own a software use blender

Which one is the best?

>>565984
i think both looks ok

>>565987
thanks . Why not post your NPR?

Why would you want too keep those 'ruffles'? It's a mess. use the damn pleat tool.

>>565906
....
because I do, please help if you know the answer? Pleating will add more pieces on the UV. there is a way, because I see many people doing the seam "right" while keeping the ruffles

umm maybe try looking at a real dress? its just a larger amount of metrical at the bottom then it is at the top causing the fabric to fold over itself and become 'ruffled'

ask /agdg/, this board is less about games and more about modelling/rendering

it looks like hand-drawn 2D to me

>>565806
Alright, thanks. I was under the impression that they rendered those characters and put them into spritesheets.

>>565806
100% not hand drawn. What are you smoking?
