>>561542
If its the very basic G3F you want to edit.

Thanks, I thought I was doing something wrong but turns out you just have to reload the program for it to take effect. Makes sense, I guess.

Did you try turbo squid?

what is it?

don't know what you're talking about, brah.
looks fine to me. bools ftw!

Hardops is pretty simple and good. It just marks sharps and veves pretty quickly. The problem is that people who use it also like to use the boolean workflow.

Shitty topology is because of that, not Hardops.

Why do you care if the mesh is trash? It doesn't even need to be made of quads since you won't use subD or animate it like an organic thing.

>>563969
because it can

>>563969
>like why would you want to spend months mastering realistic substances and spend hours making things like this, which could just be found on hundreds of free texture websites in about 30 seconds?

someone has to make the textures dumbass

>>563973
not sure if retarded or bait

Did you download a preset? Then maybe it's been locked by a hidden script which you would have to unhide first.
If you create a new hair object, can you edit it?

>>563980
yes, it's a preset but I can't edit the hair even when I apply it to a sphere for example.
I just tested this on a different pc and it's the same problem

>>563980

oh sorry, I thought you meant a preset object, not preset hair. It's not preset hair tho. can't edit anything

>>563956
Not even a creative shit post.

make rooms that connect. use a grid to plan it out first. look at how timesplitters did this more than a decade ago:

you just have to do it over and over until you get it

Hay, I'm a studying Game Artist myself, I've joined a modding group working on the Hammerfell regoin for skyrim. If you're truly into learning how it works, check this out http://blog.joelburgess.com/2013/04/skyrims-modular-level-design-gdc-2013.html

there's also a GDC video of bethesda artists talking about the same stuff.

Just do it, man.

Load up blender/ maya/ zbrush.

Start retopo.

Look up some topology on google for reference.

Make sure all of your edge rings are even numbers.

Add more topology on joints for deformations.

The first time you do it you will learn a lot about it.

>>560066
try topogun

useless. unless you can use in blender game engine

looks like shit

Problem with all these GPU based realtime solutions is that you have to optimize your scenes for memory/polycount, not as bad as if you were making a game but similar.

For a lot of real world applications, keeping your scene small and snappy actually eats up more time in the end than just not worrying about it and crunching it out on a fat CPU in the end.

Same with those Unreal Engine demos and so on. Try the same thing not with a relatively empty interior but an exterior with grass, plants with thousands of leaves etc. and your RT engine will choke on the amount of textures and polys. Then you can either spend days optimizing everything so it runs faster or spend one night rendering it the oldschool way.

At least that's my personal experience doing Archviz with Vray, I never use RT because it can't handle my scenes

I have found this image but taking measurements in useless in maya

It's not that hard just use the basic shapes. Circle for the helmet cylinder
Cube for the v looking thing. What ever for the diamond. Remember to use a head for the reference

Are you that poorfag from the other thread? You won't get much for $400. I would suggest the low end used xeon market if you want cheap CPU cores. Westmere can be had pretty cheaply these days.

>>563838
just want to get a laptop for $400,
would already choose parts myself for pc but Idk about laptop
also Im not posting in other threads about thsi

>>563805
400$ laptop for 3dcg? I don't think so.

i would say only gauge your progress every 2 months or so

you study zbrush if you want to learn the software.
anatomy studies can be done on paper with a pencil.
proportions / scale->bones->muscles->fat/skin

try sculptris first, since it's way easier to grasp the basic principles.

get a wacom tablet. 2 days is nothing, keep at it daily.

You don't have a grasp at form which is making your mind interpret things different that they are in reality or what your mind envisions.
Definitely get a tablet, you need it for zbrush -- and just study and practice the things that you want to sculpt. Make sure you are rotating your model very frequently and use as much reference as you can. I would suggest you try modeling from a reference of multiple facial angles.so you can get an idea of the forms of the face. This is the most important part, also try to work in planes (the major angle/shape changes in the face) You want to think big -> small

>12 hrs / day
>4 years of being neet
wasnt worth it imo, should have gone into STEM

>>562647

about 1 year of hard studying although I can't do many kinds of things so far today like good&proper UV maps or complex animation rigging.

>>562647
art school is a meme. Creativity can't be taught, it can only be created.

Probably just some After Effects plugin from Videocopilot or Trapcode

>>563778
okay, nevermind I solved it

>>563780
At least share how you did it.

fuck you
