Hi, I would like to learn to animate using Blender ( but i'm also open to other animation medium ).

I'm not talking about rigging, IK or using shapes etc... but pure animation technics, for example to have a natural, realistic ( or cartoonist ) walk animation, face animation, combat animation, using objects etc... Well how to not have a wooden-stick like animation.

Thanks !

Read the Preston Blair animation book. Everything else written about animation is a badly regurgitated version of it. Just read the source. AND DRAW (even if you do CG animation draw the poses first).

Ok, i'm trying to model a basic chibi body and i'm at the part where i have to connect the leg to the body. I used a cylinder for both and leg (8 verts) and body. Whats the best way to connect the two using proper topology and deformation? Pic related

Shift+F, subdivide the new faces, and then manually smooth it out

>it's another faggot who thinks he could jumpstart without learning the basics

learn the fucking topology basics fucking dammit.
you can't shortcut shit. it will take you longer in the long run. do proper research and LEARN PROPERLY. youtube is literally filled with tutorials.

Hey /3/ so I cant find any info on how Genndy did 3D models for his Clone Wars series and was wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction 5:50 in the video they show some

https://youtu.be/uV9LvVb84xo?t=350

any help would be appreciated as I want to try and make a Warhammer 40k short in Genndys style.

its fucking really old shit. he just used the basic shaped models with high res textures. everything else was fucking post production photoshop shit. also the style is not from clone war but its fucking taken from old dark white movies with long camera https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crane_shot animations filming main set as am non-stop unfolding and organic landscape. was very popular in after WW2 musicals.

warhamer would be great idea but be careful. the owner of W4000 is really mean fucking copyright owner. you will be not first fan, who got sued and fucked by the company for doing and publishing own shit. keep to something more tollerant and try to asked the copyright owner first about.

Guys I actually unironically like blender's Morse And keyboard UI

Am I.... Retarded? It just clicks with me, and everything else feels cumbersome by comparison. I started out in 3ds Max and Revit and supplemented that with SketchUp, and just picked up blender as I moved away from architectural and hard surface modeling. Obviously I miss some of the goodies that come with 3ds out of the box, but fuck. Z brush is next on my list to pick up.

Anyways this wasn't an ask for help thread or anything, just curious since I don't think I've seen anything but hate for blender anywhere I go on the web.

I still hate gimp though

>morse

i'll forgive the spelling error since you finally admit the superiority of blender's functional and intuitive ui.

keyboard shortcuts are where it is at.

anybody that bitches about blender's ui is retarded since they can't learn to press keys.

>g = grab
>s = scale
>r = rotate

just that alone is helpful as fuck.

There's one guy maybe two tops that is responsible for all the blender hate here. You can safely ignore them as they rarely contribute anything of note.

Okay /3/ i need your help I'm getting crazy,

How do you get hard surfaces?

I mean, i know blender and maya, but for example the subsurface method in blender plus edge loops looks like shit, and hard ops doesn't feel right ( i already have it), and in Maya 2018, I use smooth but it's the same, shit looks ugly even when the edge loops are properly added, if it's matter I'm build an ak but literally feels impossible to get the hard feel.


Short: Proper way of getting hard edges smoothing surfaces, etc, in any, or maya or Blender.

It has the best(at least for me) painting tools, especially for stylized work, top UV and Retopo tools.
I have never used it for Sculpting, but from what I've seen it has good tools, you can do negative spaces very easily and it was regarded as superior to zbrush because of hard surface workflow,
but now Zbrush brought live booleans, gizmo and deformers

as sculpting goes nothing can go even near to zbrush, if you really want to achieve quality.
for just mid lvl sculpting I think every soft is capable. every one of them has clay brushes, thin chizzle like brushes,move brushes and smooth ones. so....
>>
>>578015
I bought it because it has a hobby license which at the time was less than $100 (don't know what it is now). Love the sculpting tools and love the painting tools. Can't wait for Retopo to get the poly-fill tool.

i am making a blender game and i want to add an uv to my mesh, but the mesh itself looks like pic related even through it is not when i use object mode/edit mode.
any ideas on how to fix this problem

It's an horrible idea because Blender is horrible but most importantly it's GPL licensed, which means you'll never be able to sell your game. Use Unreal engine or Godot, which worse but is BSD licensed.

Why does it look like the scope on the awp from cs go has no smoothing groups? It has been bugging me ever since I first saw it
10 posts and 3 images submitted.
>>
>>576479
It does have smoothing groups, but I suspect either their normals are fucked up, or they have the edges with two vertices turn into one vertices at the end (quad to tri). This would give the effect of bad smoothing/no smoothing.
>>
i think their highpoly model had these fucked normal and it got baked on the lowpoly model
>>

>they have the edges with two vertices turn into one vertices at the end (quad to tri)
knowing how most valve models in source engine games are i would say this.

Can someone fucking help me cause i am getting slowly brain cancer here, so this is the first model i made and i am trying to UV him here, So i cut his arm as most tutorial say and then i try to unfold it but every fucking time i get this stupid ass error :

>Mesh has non-manifold edges. Clean up the mesh before using unfold.

I read about it a bit online so i cleaned up my mesh like 50 fucking times it doesn't have any glitch from what i've seen BUT ITS STILL GIVING ME THIS SHITTY ERROR PLEASE FUCKING HELP

Okay i realized where the faggot cunt may have a problem, when i do the cleanup it completly ruins the back area of my mesh (or more like the wings connection area). Pic related the verts that get fucked up when i cleanup, this is pre-cleanup .What the fuck is wrong with this geometry that makes it have "non-manifold" edges? Looks ok to me
>>
>>577934
????

did you box model that? Might actually be simpler if you sculpted first. I find that reduces a lot of errors that can be made in topology.
>>
>>577939

He already mentioned that this was the first model he made, would be better to learn box modelling before sculpting

This is a 3 hour zbrush sculpt i wanna do the process till the end, retop, uvs panting normal mas etc.
any of you guys has experience in zbrush to?

is it competitive? (against redshift/corona).
hows the shadow/light system? any good shaders?

People say to put all the details from my high poly mesh into a normal/displacement map and then put it into the lower poly version, but will that make the details that are put into those maps deform correctly during animation? I don't think so
21 posts and 3 images submitted.

>>576814
Why not? They both work in relation to the local normal of the surface, so if your UVs are good, they'll deform well also.
If you're talking about high-end stuff like making a brow furrow or skin folds collect, you basically sculpt & bake multiple normal maps and then blend between them - basically morph targets for normal maps. Then you just wire the blend state to the relevant animation. Various AAA games do this, notably the Uncharted series.

tangent space? normals arent always aligned to the surface afaik.
