let's not

Okay then, bye!

But maybe, just maybe, we can?

easy to use is really the main selling point, as well as the fact that you can do a decent job of both modeling and texturing in one program, but it just hasn't been updated much and I guess people are worried about support or being left behind in features.

zbrush has a lot more tools and workflow enhancements for sculpting, which you notice doesn't compensate skill, but still nice to have. other soft like substance painter are also better than mudbox at texturing since you have procedural effects.

so mudbox is like the jack of all trades option for people who just want to do light sculpting and painting, without being loaded by all the stuff you need to learn for these other programs. if you can use max and photoshop, you can already use mudbox.

>>576829
I use MudBox regularly, every time I launch zBrush I just close it down again.
Also link some good MudBox sculpts.

>>576829

It's not about Mudbox being bad in of itself, it's the fact that ZBrush offers WAY better tools.

Which is a real shame, I fucking hate ZBrush's viewport, UI and general control and I love Mudbox., but it's just not an alternative for most people because of ZBrush's tools.

start by extruding a plane and creating some loop cuts.

Do something weird like ram horns or chandeliers

>>576105
Browse through artstation and recreate something I like. Or recreate some particular scene from a game or a film.

Come on man. At least be honest and say you're modelling a tranny.

whatever floats your boner, I guess

Your problem is the good old uncanny valley effect. The unnatural stylisation is in conflict with the realistic shape resulting in a somewhat awkward/disturbing appearence.
You either get rid of the stylised features and make her more natural or do the opposite. But both, stylisation and natural shape at the same time cause uncanny valley.

make a new layer ontop of the AO and then give it a mix or soft light/color blend mix and just paint the diffuse

realistic texturing? you will probably need a good skin material

Subsurface scattering

>>577100
Good skin material from who? A 3D woman? Not on my waifu, thanks.

>>576175
I second this. BDO has one of the best sexy chick creator I've seen anywhere.

I wish we could have exported those as rigged FBXs. It would compete with daz anytime.

>>576177
can you maybe recommend a chick creator tool for a not so total noob?

Daz is your best bet for general purposes.

Agreeing with this. I'm wanting the city models, ground elevation, buildings, those could easily be remodeled, but having the proper ground elevation and building positions and everything is what would make this. Wanting to remodel a small portion of a city for a game mod, using Google Earth's stuff would be a good simple skeleton to get started.

>>570092
exactly. Tbh i could work with it as it is, im not aiming for any 4k aesthetics, i just need to vaguely represent the real world, actual places. And doing it by hand would be a hassle

There was software which could snapshot 3d info from your graphics card, and output it to 3ds max or some shit. The result was very much usable, but I dont remember the name of the software

>>576849

problem for me is that I am already nearing my graduation and need something to show. Will probably learn PyMEL in unemployment for a year or two

>>576847
If you want to make plugins for programs that lack it, try making some for 3DS Max. I'd kill for a kitbash plugin like I have in Maya.

This topic is barely /3/, you know that, right?

What kind of engine is that? I find it hard to believe, that there is an engine out there, that would prevent you from spawning stuff "in the game itself"

>someone told me that you can make any tetrahedron using right-angled tetrahedrons, but they didn't say how.
Does this really require any further explanation to you? Open up a 3d program, make yourself one and try to assemble any given shape. I'm pretty sure you'll get to it unless you're suffering from severe autism.

And most importantly:
Are you twelve?

>it is entirely viable performance-wise to make a composite mesh out of pre-made smaller meshes
incorrect!
this is why the source engine has shit performance with games like garry's mod because of people building props in the hammer world editor.

i would even go as far as to say it's better to use milkshape than the method you're talking about.

Once the animation is baked into a quad mesh, converting it to tris doesn't change the deformation. You need quads when you're animating.

>>575430
Oh okay,thanks

>>575428
what game is that? looks pretty sick

I'd say FFXV if the protagonist didn't look like a female

Isn't DAZ going broke anyways? I've heard they fired a shit ton of people recently.

It's not exactly like they can expand to any serious professional market.

>>574982
We've had people here claim DAZ Studio has a grand total of 3 programmers now so I could believe that. They tried expanding into game assets and Unity curbstomped them pretty quickly (that and Unity finding out DAZ was reselling one of their environments illegally), along with mediocre .fbx export making it impractical.

Comments about the company get routinely deleted from their forums. I could easily see a new investor shitcanning the current management the way they did to their predecessors, burning off the software they won't support any more and within 5 years selling the entire catalog to TurboSquid.

>>574981
They have to be pretty desperate to beg the guy they fired to develop for them again before going tsundere on him.
