Bump, I need this too OP

After looking at some of the stuff here, I feel like my UV's are complete dog shit.
>pic related?

>>545458
I mean all UV mapping really is is spreading out an even texture with even pixel density across your model. It's really dependent on your model and what you want to get out of your map. Do you want stuff like where to put seams? or what?

all UV mapping is the same, whenever its blender or maya or UVlayout

you should only unwrap with seams, cylinder unwrap applies to any shape or form in 3D. you need to practice.
i know its frustrating and you have to adjust alot of shit but that's the way it is.

Thanks for the heads up. Pretty hyped up for 2.78.

>That Archimesh update

Wow it looks like /3/ used to have decent artists.

took some stuff from the wip. post your work in this thread, if you want it included.

>>544371
depends on what you wanna do

>>544372
I personally wanna do Archviz

what about blender?

You can get good at sculpting without needing any tutorial, all you need is some anatomy knowledge and patience. Now rigging it and making the mesh not a clusterfuck is another story.

>>545737
how long would fixing topology and rigging it take? i've handled IK rigs in terms of posing and shit, but never made bone placement or skinning, let alone animation although i did do the steps of making two cameras at an angle and making keys, just wasn't satisfied with how i posed the keys.

I can stay optimistic about making it in the 3d industry, when so many newcomers show up unable to answer the question only they can answer, "Can i make it?"

you should have bought a cintiq

>>544281
You're an idiot if you aren't commercial or a freelancer. 2c

>>544282
Lol agree

Sorry to tell you OP but people who are knowledgeable about 3D software are huge nerds

why do you care?

>>545894

it makes me angry, that's why i care.

Because implementing the Oculus or OpenVR SDK is probably a bit more involved than you think. Also licensing (openvr is not open).

Medium is nice because it's built from the ground up to work with Touch and be accessible to a broad audience, it's a powerful tool but it's not designed as a professional tool. You can make beautiful shit in it though.

>>545968
Projection is different obviously, so something needs to translate the geometry to fit that.

Then there is the issue of the view being relative rather than always fixed like a monitor's viewport. For example in VR you should be able to look away from something but still interact with it if it is in range.

>>545976
>openvr is not open
oh the irony

set the dynamesh resolution higher or lower depending on your needs. dynamesh will close up holes if the resolution is too low. watch more tutorials, zbrush's UI is unintuitive as fuck, and their documentation isn't as good as i would like

you're not supposed to use dynamesh after you've started detailing

use dynamesh, get your desired volume, then start sculpting

Dynamesh is purely for concepting. If you want to get rid of that issue however I would just recommend you to use ClipCurve (ctrl + shift) to cut away the unwatned geo and add some new geo

That depends greatly on what I'm texturing. For realistic stuff, I use textures.com, stock photo sites and my own photography. I always do some retouching (painting, cloning, merging with other textures) before importing it, so it looks unique and/or fits my needs.

Occasionally, I go on little trips specifically to take pictures of stuff. Don't go with anything in mind, just whatever has an interesting shape or texture.
Take about 7 GB worth of pictures and process them at home.
Usually, they're for photogrammetry and texturing, but sometimes I use them for reference shots or just keep them for when I might need, say, a specific kind of rock, a patch of asphalt close-up or a rough model of an information stand.
I love these sorts of trips, because they're always to nice places out in the open or with lots of cool scan-able objects and they're mostly on overcast days (lighting is more uniformly diffused and shadows are softer, contrast is much much better for texturing).

wow, finally found someone who is more autistic about 3D than me

that nose, philtrum and mouth make me want to kill myself lol

>>545900
looks like a pack of dogs each took a creamy shit on his head while trying to scoot away at the same time

>>545903
Yeah the bridge looks anorexic and the nostrils are too flat. The mouth is a WIP. I think the cheeks are kinda throwing me off too?
>>545904
Yeah definately. the color is way off. The normal texturing looks like shit too. Do you have any suggestions for fixing it, other than color?

>>546050

seek professional help

>>546051
:(

What kind of liquid is inside?

I like the idea of actually sculping the models irl.

Dunno bout scanning, you could try 123D catch, a free autodesk app that seems allright. Let's you download the scan as .obj or .stl and includes textures as well

The thing is, I dont need that highly detailed Models. I am aiming for a cel shaded look.

Pretty similar to this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH61guAmB5k&index

The programs you showed actually look pretty good. Textures would not be important for my cel shading look. Just the basic colors.

>>545030
Then you should just give the app a try, it's free so you got nothing to lose.
Let us know how it turns out

Any popular program can handle all 3D tasks ok. I'd say in your situation to use Maya though- you shouldn't have any problems with it in regards to compatibility.

>>545512
>And when is it good?

When the studio / class / collaborative project requires it.

They're all basically the same, the only pitfalls with Blender is that you can't just push the 'render' button and get a good result, you need to actually know what you're doing and set things up.

It's why most shit looks awful in Blender, people just use the default lighting, the default materials, the default render settings, AND are beginners with poor topology, poor understanding of composition, poor understanding of color theory.

Add all that together and you end up with garbage, but that's not Blender's fault.

>>545512
Just stick with Blender. They all do mostly the same stuff.

I've only used C4D and Blender thus far, and I prefer Blender.

Use clay based brushes to build up form, the smooth brush stays pretty effective on them even on higher resolutions.

>>545612

I never sculpt like this for the blobby reasons you mentioned. I always start with a z sphere base and work up through the subdivisions.

>>545612
Easy:they don't, its bad practice

Start with low polygons, work on it until you're satisfied, divide, work again until youre satisfied, divide, etc etc
