Could be any number of things. You need to check your color management pipeline. Use exr or tiff as your file export format. Make sure single frames come out correctly in Photoshop before rendering a whole animation.

Check the colour space of your file and the colour space you're exporting to, might be downsampling 32-bit colour to 8-bit or something. Check the export options, I only get good results with certain filetypes/encoders so maybe you should try a few until you get the right one.

You need to read the sticky. Then you need to do tutorials, any tutorial, every tutorial until you find that the answers to your questions are within you.

>Do I need to learn to traditionally draw?

Only if you have absolutely no references whatsoever. That said, being able to draw is a very useful skill when you're authoring textures, especially more stylized ones for anime characters, for example. Procedural textures can only take you so far in that regard.

Anatomy is nice for characters but can be cheated past with enough practice.

>What are the fundamentals of 3d modelling? Are they the same as drawing?

Different people will give you different answers on this board, on what the fundamentals of 3D are. There are people who believe that modelling, mapping, texturing, lighting and rendering your scene properly constitute these fundamentals. Another anon threw a hissy fit on a thread not too long ago saying that fundamentals are much more basic things like being able to move objects around the viewport efficiently, knowing what the basic mesh operations are, etc. Many will tell you to work on your basic forms and fundamentals and never elaborate past that.

The truth is that a bunch of angry anonymous posters on a board whose favorite pasttime is telling you to kys are probably the least qualified people to tell you what the fundamentals are on anything. Don't trust anyone here when it comes to that.

>Finally, I see digital tutors (Now Pluralsight) recommended a lot online, what are your recommended learning paths on these sights?

You don't even have a software picked out yet, you need to choose that first.

Be good at math, problem solving and become a Houdini technical director

Bit of a shitty work around but I'm not a smart man - if you actually edit the mesh and rotate all the polygons together, rather than just rotate the whole mesh (which at first glance would do exactly the same thing visually) you would actually change the way the normals thought they were facing. I don't know what modelling software you're using but if it's max then you can reinforce that by resetting the xforms, and if it's blender you can apply the transformations once you've left edit mode.

Failing that I would just put the soot on myself with a very coarse brush.

Smart soot - sounds fun.

>>562124

Did you provide ddo with all the maps like AO,Curvature, Object space normal map. Thats how the masks are applied.

>>562124
Can you not just rotate the dirt mask with the object space normal? Can you not use the directional map? This is why you use DDO right, for automation? So why not use automation? Give us more details on why the soot will not rotate on the character.

Looking at their website, seems to be an oversized reprap stuck onto a workbench, with the same kind of electronics and beefier stepper motors. Check the 3D Printing general thread over at /diy/ for specific questions. Also #reprap on freenode IRC are a very helpful bunch.

Since the company that made the printer are shit, you may need to learn more about the machine in order to configure it to work right. Try a different slicing software like Cura or Slic3r for generating gcode, it doesn't have to be Simplify3D. I think Cura has the better way of generating support material. You can also control the machine using Pronterface (printrun) if you find it more to your liking.

At that size material is very important factor. What are you using?

They're like regular rendering rigs, but with Blender. Usually on Linux.

Will one with little to no experience achieve this in blender?

most of the things are square furniture, boxes shelves so it shouldn't take much to make the models them self.

I'm a bit curious on the "how to make it look realistic" step.

I know that many furniture designers and salesmen artificially make up photos or samples of their work.

Anyone done anything like this?

you need to know how to use portals + hdri lightning + composition. and most importantly have good set of shaders ready to go.
for blender i would recommend http://3dwolf.weebly.com/materials.html

you have to keep in mind however, there is lot of trial and error involved in this. for example it took me fairly long time to get an interior right. if you want to do it real quick just get a poligon account/subscribtion and start filling out rooms.
you can use archimesh(plugin) to block out the rooms themselves.

some of the shit is free, some isn't. if you are not experienced with either substance designer or cycles textures just use poligon or textures.com
hdri is easy to get, so overall you can sort of do this for free as long as you know what to do.

>>559387
also very important to mention.
if you have abit of extra change and don't mind spending money in this process get material vault. its creates material+texture in a second and its very realistic as well.

Just goes to show that all Japs care about is how fuckable something is regardless of whether it's utter shit or not.

do you have lights in your scene? try shadeless material. swap between material view and texture viewmode.
and maybe try textured solid in solid view

>>555720
Lights shouldn't matter because I was only in material view.

Anyway, don't worry. I found the problem was the image texture in the node editor, which was still using an old UV image for some reason.

How in blender would you take an armature and threshold all weights on all bones making them all rigid either 1.0 or 0 per bone? In 3dsmax this was simply done with the "rigid" checkbox.

you could try Blendswap. Plenty of sites that offer free models

You could make one of these every week if you put some effort in

You can use the Sketchup 3D Warehouse, obviously as free user-submitted models there's varying quality but some of them are nicely made. You can either get them in .skp format or most will have an option for .obj format too which should import well into 3Ds Max or Blender.

I didn't know people still used softimage

1.) get a job
2.) subscribe to digital tutors
3.) watch tut
4.) ?????
5.) PROFIT

>>562058
Why would you want to make any sort of serious investment in dead software OP

>>561726
how can whitebois even compete?

>>561726
cuz ur so dark and edgy xD

Bucause you set the mesh color to black. In the right down corner you have the color changer there you can change the mesh color.

Well, I think I know what r/blender is going to be saturated with for the next month.
