I made 3 CGI shorts one of them was called ''robot love'' (2009) made it when I was 13.
Just recently upload it into YouTube here it's a still from said ''film''

Tutorials don't count as firsts Anon. I know you feel proud for having completed something, and I'm not at all discouraging you from continuing to do tutorials, but don't EVER post a tutorial and pretend it's something you "made".

Can you post the modifier list?

>>559757
sure

Start with stick in dirt and master that
Then move to pencil and paper
Then move to oil on canvas
Then take your first digital steps with a mastery of ms paint
Then master photoshop, 3d and 2d modes
Jump fully into the third dimension with google sketchup
Take a step up with mastery of blender
Bring yourself into the future with mastery of maya
Become one with the polygons in zbrush
Transform into the Mechanized Singularity with houdini
Create your own software, polygons move and flow around with ease at your fingertips; movie studios worship you as The VFX Diety

At least that's one way id start

>Jump fully into the third dimension with google sketchup

This is bad advice, OP at this point you should really be learning to sculpt with real clay, only THEN can you move on to sketchup and so on

Maya, blender, modo and max. Fucking zbrush, how does it work?

Zbrush is a proprietary software, people may speculate on how it works but the only 100% way to know is either for the information to become officially available or for someone to reverse engineer it.

ye honestly i don't understand either. some programs like 3dcoat will overheat my old shitty furnace pc rendering a 300k poly sculpt but zbrush will display 30mil just fine without much lag or heat.

>>559342
The calculation of the mesh runs on the CPU, not on the GPU. GPU is irrelevant for Zbrush, only used for displaying pixels. That's why i can use Zbrush on my 5 year old laptop and it outperforms 3dCoat on my workstation.

D&D Dragonborn is a humanoid reptilian race, you can choose it instead of a human, an elf, a dwarf, etc.
They have nothing to do with Skyrim's Dovakhiin.

The move he did was:

1. Do an Extrude operation of the edges
2. Right click the mouse to cancel the "move" part of the extrude operation, edges are still extruded but they overlap with the other ones so you can't see them
3. Do a Scale operation and press 0 on the keyboard to scale the selected vertices down to zero.

When you scale to zero, all the vertices go to the center of the selection. You would need to do a "Remove Doubles" operation after this so that they all get meged to one vertex. This wouldn't be necessary if he used the "Merge vertices" operation, but then an extra menu would've appeared where he'd need to select "At Center".

wait longer friendo

but I want it nooooowwww

it's just mildly frustrating to make a post right before I go to sleep, wake up, and see that it's completely untouched a full 10 hours later.

4chan is alright in general but this board is absurdly slow.

>>561007
Create extra dummy groups centered at whatever additional pivot points you want to use. Rotate the groups instead of original object.

You don't need an elaborate story with well defined models so long as they can become highly animated when they are preforming.

Something simple like maybe ninja squirrels fighting over a golden acorn tumbling down a mountain shrine.

Just remember you don't need to go ham with the assets. Just go deeper than balls deep in the animation work. That is what is important here.

Nobody should expect a 1 man team to come up with all the assets. This isn't a "do everything yourself" kind of course... I hope. I really hope your teacher won't bring down your grade for stupid shit like texture and voice quality...

>>557556
We could do the voices for you, if you can't get other people to do it.

that doesn't seem too difficult
4 hours a day is more than enough
i can give you tips however

>restrict yourself to interior environments
>make sure to plan out everything, pen on paper before you do it
>make sure to reuse the mesh of the first character you are making,particularly the body
>use camera work to your advantage
>put emphasis on the animation and characters rather than how the lightning or environment will look, blur stuff if you aren't happy with it.
>think of mechanical objects like power drills,coffee machines and thinks that are generally easy to animate
>don't get worked up on thing like hair or teeth

Flip the geometry 180 degrees, either using "Flip" or manually.

I don't think I did it properly, but I managed to get it working anyways.

Now I have a problem where what I'm working on will just straight up disappear and can't be seen or selected again until I hit one of the view keys. I have no idea. I'm pretty sure I'm not hitting any keys that would cause that to happen. It does it randomly. I feel like the 3ds Max I'm running is fucked up or something.

>>560743
Backface culling means that you wont see "behind" a polygon so to speak.

If you didnt see your image you had to flip it, but if you say that now you don't see the mesh you are working on is because you fucking inverted its normals you autist faggot.

>>559606
Online would probably be your best bet. Or moving.

>the barrier to entry with 3D modeling is massive
No it isn't, hit up cgpeers and start torrenting intro tutorials from gnomon/digital tutors/etc. Or if you're not into pirating, at least look up content on youtube. The Chamferzone grenade tutorial is a great introduction to current-gen modeling for complete noobs and it's how I got started.

As for things fucking up, join a 3d modeling discord, or post on polycount whenever you need advice. Unless you go to a very good school, chances are you'll get better feedback from idle professionals and students dedicated enough to go online, than you will from the ignorant fucks who attend your average game school.

>>559606
Literally Gnomon or don't bother. Whether they're the best school in terms of the quality of what's taught is debatable, but what's not debatable is that they'll get you the contacts you need to get a job
