Mostly comes down to lighting, the lighting is too flat on most of the scene and the shadows are too diffuse.

>>562659
what settings do you recommend i play with to improve that?

>>562659
also, im using vray exposure control, physical camera and reindhard.

>>562439
Too much noise, and too much pink, otherwise it's a breddy good start

>>562423
you are trolling right?

>>562423
that new pirate movie is a shame for the CGI industry btw

Mermaid porn?

Would it be possible to add a plane in front of the camera and group it so it moves with?

>>562671
use maya, import image plane

>>562686
he's asking about C4D, which I'm now interested in knowing too

quite lucrative in my opinion

good luck

Technical artists are gold, but you don't really need several technical artists in most cases. So the competition is gonna be hard I think. You have to be really good at what you do

The term technical artist can also have different meanings on different gamedev companies as well.
If you're doing rigging I would recommend just putting all your effort into that to start off with and then work your way to a technical artist position

Riggers/skinners are pretty sought after because it usually fucking sucks to do that kind of work. But again, you have to be really good, and it wouldn't hurt if you're also a good animator

>>561302
looks realistic from far away since its a 3d scan but the mesh errors ruin it right away

>>561302
Post refs, right now it looks like a blue plastic garden statue version of Buddha or whatever that's been sprayed with mud
The dirt on it really doesn't make much sense; the base looks pretty okay (if it were something that sat in grass), but the rest looks totally random

>but I'm not using refs, I'm just eyeballing it
Always work with reference images, even if something's stylized (which this isn't) you still have to have some foundation in reality and that means having images of real world things

>>561302
Take it from me, OP. You can never have too much dirt and grunge.

"I want to start my own games company. Oh? Coding? 3d Art? Animation? No no nothing like that, i'm the IDEAS MAN!"

>>562506
Listen, it's for a school project which is completely unrelated to 3DCG, coding, animation, anything like that. I just need a simple program where I can append and merge 3D models with some transformation & movement functionality can u not

if you don't know how to place unity store assets in a game editor then you are punching way above your weight.

This guy is oblivious to feedback, have been doing it for 17 years, yes, 17 years

>Making fun of Theiser

You must be new here friend.

it would be best if he just focused on making 5 min shorts and up his quality one short at a time

so keep using it faggot

Do they even offer downloads for xsi 2015 on autodick's website anymore?
I've been meaning to learn softimage, because I want to fuck around with the shaders it has. Is there actually just no way to get the software anymore?

I miss this software so god damn much

I haven't before now, but now I REALLY don't think I will.

Why are you shilling on a board with maximum of one hundred users per day? Windows 10 sucks.

I don't understand the appeal of this kind of aesthetic.

>>558536
Weebs man, if you ever take a class vaguely 'nerdy' and artistic you get these guys who draw terrible anime shit and want to incorporate anime in everything they make. It always look like trash at the end.

Most likely, the skin weighting in the border between your shoulder and arm is too tight. You have to smooth it out.

>>558510
Because neither is the mesh properly weightpainted, nor is it rigged correctly in my opinion. And while you're at it, try to research morphtargets too.

>>558510
You didn't have to mark it. It's pretty obvious that it's fucked up.

you should just use real life IOR values

http://forums.cgsociety.org/archive/index.php?t-513458.html

>>562335
How can I do that in substance? How does Rubber 1.5191 IOR translate to % in Substance?

>>562336
i don't think it has anything to do with the fresnel values. this is related to the shader and not the textures.
substance have proprietary shader which you cannot change. however you can change the IOR value in a render engine like arnold.

i mean, you should. i can do it in cycles then im sure you can do it in arnold

try cgpeers

I,d recommend Zbrush for any kind of character modeling. But you MUST have pen-tablet(wacom) to use it, it's absolutely mandatory.
+ it has very very good box modeling tools too. many people don't know that it has. but you also should consider learning general package too. like maya/max/blender/c4d

>>561830
Well, atm i can't afford a wacom, so should i start with Blender since it's free, any tutorials especially that i should check out?

you can buy Huion tablet. 4-5 months ago I lost my wacom intuos pro medium(I had almost evety iteration of intuose before) and I needed tablet desperately and I had no 300 $ at hand. so I risked and bought "new huion 1060 ", it's fucking amazing. I am very very picky about technics, I was thinking to buy wacom first time i'd get money, but after I got it there is no point in getting wacom now for me.

you should definitely start with generalist software before you jump into zbrush, (maya/max/blender etc..) but you can jump to zbrush pretty soon after you learn basics and how 3d works. (if you wanna learn zbrush at all, of course..

as blender goes I don't know I have not used it I use maya es generalist program, but I checked it recently and IMHO blender is awesome and has very cool UI. another great software to begin3d with, is Cinema 4d!!! IMHO it's the best to start with, because it has fucking amazing and understandable UI

PS: do you know how to draw?
