Hi Justin

>>509464
Let me the first one to comment on how much enjoyment I draw from the level of attention you've put into the male component of your fuck rig anon.

>>509464
Hi, Jordan. Can you talk a little about how you made that anim? Surely that has got to be MoCap? Amazing work btw.

>>509465
I just had a good giggle
>>509466
Aww thanks. No its just done with a bunch of animation loops. I'm using soft body physics to produce the jiggle which is controlled by an opacity layer of vertex groups hooked into the soft body control panel. Frame rate is half when teh physics arent baked yet, btw

>>509464

is this realtime? You making a game?

I'm new to 3d modeling in general but not to video editing/after effects/premier etc
want to do a short fan SW video of one of my buddies (or myself) walking over a ridge, looking up and having 1 or 2 x-wings/y-wings fly over him into the distance, similar to this shot
https://youtu.be/HgY3rOOascY?t=654

I've already started to model the x-wing, it looks like shit right now as you can see but how can I incorporate it into a real-life backdrop - I guess what I'm asking is how should I export/render/animate the ship so that I can import it into After effects later so I can add energy 'flames' to the back of the engines?

Baby's first character. I'm happy with the lower half, not so much the upper half, especially the arms. Also I can't decide if I should make it more masculine feminine .

>>509487
The landings are too sharp and quick, but other than that it's actually really quite smooth.
The rocking on the moving platform was a nice touch.

>>509486
what the actual fuck

>>509506

Thanks.

I agree about the landing. I experimented a bit with it, and I got it right on one single landing (at 0:04), having the ball stand completely still for a frame or two. I will probably do that from now.

I don't think it's edgy at all. It's got fucked up so beyond recognition that I geniunely think it's made by something thats trying to imitate humans like a computer or an alien. Like a Google AI scanning the web to learn how people model things but it mixed all the techniques and tried to replicate the models we did but fucked up coz it's just not there yet.

This looks like the VARGINHA alien, and anon probably is BR, else he wouldn´t bother.
This happened during a rain, and a thin guy with a mental background was often seen covered in mud, crouching around in the area.
Two girls saw him and tough he was an alien.

>>509813
you need spooky environment and spooky low lighting

>>509850
It actually occurred the day after a big storm, but it was a sunny day and it was 3:30 PM :)

They were three girls, and all of them new the guy with mental disabilities the armed forces refered to. Also, the subject in question was in another city during the event, as can be stated by shopping bills his familiaries kept.

need some diffuse texture on the alien, just looks like flat color. wall's a bit too clean.
and some better composition and context, storytelling stuff. right now it kind of feels like an arbitrary crop of a render from a sort of arbitary perspective.
if this is supposed to be the varginha alien thing, (which I only heard of now from anon above), then perhaps it would be good to set it more from the perspective of a passerby who may spot the alien. something that makes the viewer feel more like the passerby who might notice this uncanny figure near a wall.
i, myself, am only studying these kinds of things, like composition and making good pictures, so i'm no expert, but try to think of it as an actual situation happening. what i see is just an alien and a wall, and i didn't know exactly what was going on before i learned a little about the varginha thing. make more of the scene surrounding the alien, make context for the alien to stand out in. with more of a scene, you could point the camera away from the alien, leave them closer to one side, looking at the scene more generally and letting the viewer take in the image in a more "neutral" way, without you directly emphasizing the alien by pointing the view at them. that's one variation of something you could try or think about.

That's not bad at all, but of course it has a lot of room for improvement.
For example, detail the ayylmao some more with wrinkles and bumps on the skin.
Also this >>509855
>need some diffuse texture on the alien
Add a roughness map too, and make the eyes a bit darker and very smooth (reflective, shiny).
For the wall, it's too perfect and clean, put some dirt and cracks on there, it's a very important part of the image considering there are only three things there (et de varginha, wall and grass).
To address that I guess you could add some trash on the ground, like bottles and shit like that (it is Brazil after all).

>>509988
When subdividing, there is no reason to use quads or collapse the center to cap a cylinder. Subdivision will turn everything into quads anyway and adding additional edges will just needlessly increase the polycount without making a visual difference.

>>509994
Why would I assume otherwise? All the guy asked for was a way to cap cylinders without making them look "squarish" after subdivision.

Looks like some features of the face, like where the nasalis muscle goes down from the nose to the corner of the lip, or the gap between the chin and lower lip, were a single dam_standard stroke.

The temporalis muscle (That goes under the zygomatic) goes down from the temple and straight down. The skull has a ridge for it that passes right by the superior lateral corner of the eye.

>>510017
it's a Zbrush sculpt, obviously topology is not the primary concern.

>>510016
May aswell give some feedback when I'm here.

>>509450
What do you use for texturing? texture seems a bit blurry. Would suggest using some images as overlay/paint on.

>>509454
Nice ship, really like it.

>>509477
Not sure what program you are working in but you can either just export is as an animation VLC/mp4 Whatever, with transparancy or export it as images and then put it back together in After effects. (not sure if that answers your question but good luck)

>>509988
You can close an 8-sided circle with only 4 quads.

>>510022

Also, your sculpt is nice. Yours may be bald, but mine are gray since I haven't dared texture my sculpts yet.

>>510024
Thanks, again. Well it looked better when it aws still gray, really have to practice texturing in zbrush a bit more. When it's done I'll probably just edit it a shit ton in photoshop.

>>510019
>it's a Zbrush sculpt, obviously topology is not the primary concern.
Doesnt matter. Also, if it was a quick sculpt you wouldn't have wasted your time painting textures

>>510028

With dynamesh and Zremesher, you can choose not to care about topology for the purpose of sculpting.

It's not getting animated anyway, also I'm not the sculptor.

>>510029
And you're not a texture artist, which begs the question - why paint the textures? Did you think this through ?

>>510030

I didn't paint either m8.

>>510026
Wasn't the intention but he does look a bit alike.

>>510028
Sculpter here. I added some paint to practice that, maybe get a nice render of of it in the future. Why would I show the topology if I just used Zremesher, everybody can do that stuff.

>>510030
He said he wasn't the artist didn't he? Why wouldn't I practice texturing? I don't have the luxery to ask sombody els to texture for me.

>>510032
Ok dude. You're contradicting yourself but whatever. I cant stop you.

>>510033

I think it got a bit confusing when I entered the conversation on the sculpter/painter's behalf.

Okay, so I don't really know where else to ask this. I don't think it's deserving of its own thread.

Basically, I want to create a nice Stucco/plaster texture for a wall, like pic-related. If I wanted to do this with the most photo-realistic quality possible, would I use a displacement map? How would I go about making a displacement map from an image like this one?

>>510042
you don't need a displacement map, just hook it up to displacement node

>>510042
It depends. How far away is the wall? If it is not up close you can probably get away with a bump map.

>>510045
I was going to do pretty close to the camera. The scene is set in a corner of a room, probably only a few feet from the wall.

>>510046
You can try using a plaster texture as the displacement map, it might do the trick. If you want to go all the way you could recreate the plaster pattern in zbrush, render out a zdepth pass and use that.

That's not how fur works. Ease down on the specular. Consider the direction the hair is going on different parts of the body. Have more disconnection between the gray and white fur.

Here, I raised the pelvis. The gap is still monstruous. Also, the back is a flowing curve, there's no rectangular section between the first lumbar and the 4th one, unless your spine is broken.

Aside from that it looks good. Biceps/deltoid/pectoralis is under defined tough, but then again you are covering her with cloaks. Same for the abdominal wall.

I'd say the tibias are a bit too arched. And the quadriceps are quite massive compared to the hamstrings.

I have no plan. I figure i'd add denser detail to some of the central/vertical segments, add some more segments at the "top".
I have no plan to fully texture it, i figured i'd create differing materials to make everything more readable.
On the other hand this might be a good time to learn substance designer/painter.

Looking for feedback, especially regarding the animation since I had to cram all these actions into 1.5s.

>>510246

I am not expert on animation, but I think the magazine is flying out too late. It looks as if he is doing his sideway hand movement and afterwards it flys out.(it should fly out during he is doing the fast hand movement)

Actually you should just eject hte magazine in idle position when he is pointing the gun forward instead while he is moving the gun sideways, move the hand to the side and load a new magazine.

>>510248
>but I think the magazine is flying out too late
You're right, I'll try to fix that.

This is I guess less of a 3D question and more of an art question. Pretty new, just trying my hand at some extremely low poly stuff. My hopes are to make a mobile game some time in the future.

I figured I'd start with some simple objects and handpaint them, but fuck I suck at it. I started with the simplest thing possible, an oil drum, just a fucking cylinder.

heres how that went. basically how do I make this piece of shit look like it would have 3 dimensional faces from a distance. how do I turn this...

>>510348
...into this (specifically how do i make those ridges "pop out")

>>510349

Pick one :

Low-Poly
Silhouette details

Or else just make a normal map.

>>510351
so its not possible??

>>510352

A normal map will make it *look* like there's a ridge, but not on the silhouette/countour.

You'll need a normal map anyway to make that look anywhere near an oil drum. If you can count the polys on your hand you went a bit overboard.

>>510354
It would be for mobile and from afar distance. There's no painting tricks to make it look better? I mean, I'm trying to keep memory usage to a bare fucking minimum, but I still want it to look half-decent.

>>510266
It's interesting, but some of the semi-realistic elements clash with the render style and obvious polygons. Are you just exploring, or is there a specific goal in mind?

>>510066
Just do it. Don't get discouraged and keep going. Make a lot of mistakes then make sure to avoid them next time.

Altough I know its hard to tweak fine muscle details with regular modelling, the deltoid ends in a triangle, and the pectoralis inserts into the humerus under the deltoid and over the biceps.

Also, get that tibia checked out.

>>510381
So an it would be feasible for a mobile RTS to have higher quality assets?

>>510484
Yes. Since it's a RTS, of course you have to optimize more than with other games due to the amount of units and buildings that will have to be rendered at the same time, but your barrel was way too extreme.

>>510488
Okay...

So, I mean obviously it probably depends on a lot of things, but how many polys would probably be okay for assets like this.

I never like random fat characters in games. Like fat zombies in Doom 3 or house of the dead 3, they just seem laughable to me. Unless done right, like the heavy weapons guy in tf2 or Boomer in L4D it seems kinda silly.

If I were you I would just make one "average" body type with some variation in faces.

>>510776

>Unless done right,

What I wanted to say I wouldnt make random fat soldiers. In Left 4 Dead you have the masses of hoard zombies, which are all of slim average body type and not a single fat one, because just having random fat zombies seems out of place, disruptive and silly. YOu have a boomer, but the boomer is a sepecial zombie with its own personality and not just one of thousands of normal zobmies.

>>510778

This so much. I like it far more when random NPCs/characters doesn't have special body characteristics or features, indeed because they're supposed to be "random" and not special

Well desu the Soldier Guy from TF2 was my inspiration, but that does not mean that i am going for that same kind of cartony look with huge shoulders and hands. I don't like it that much.
One average body type is not enough when i have 20 guys running around on screen at the same time i think.

I do have a job, please give me an example of when sombody shows a sculpt with a fireframe. and I'm not talking about a game model, or movie character or whatever. I'm talking about and actual sculpt with a wireframe.

You realise you're implying a portfolio is "random stuff", right?
What purpose exactly does a sculpt's wireframe serve? absolute none is what.

Wireframes are presented to demonstrate topology and edgeflow. A sculpt has neither of worth.

>>510949
doesnt matter about edgeflow, it at least shows subtool useage and connected or disconnected mesh usage.

Whats going on in regards to defending against this is incredibly juvenile and irresponsible

Depends, will it have suspension on the wheels like an actual tank, or will it move only on flat land?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftiFE9gnTyc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYPJmYx-MM8
here's for simple movement. For the wheels, just copy rotation to all the wheels from one wheel. For the turret, just parent it to the main body and limit rotation to the local up/down.
If you want to do a realistic rig, with suspension.

I still don't get it. The piece he worked on was not meant for anything else than one signed render.

It's like asking for a screengrab of a .psd's layer tab.

>>510937

You're missing a lot of bevels

>>510943
This is exactly what they are for. Wireframes on sculpts are useless. Do you want me to show you the mathematical formulas behind this guy's parasolid model? Do you masturbate to wireframes?

>>510958

Can you post stuff in a perspective view pls, it's making me nauseous.

>>510452
Very very quick... but I think it adds to it, I'm not very knowledgeable on animation though.

Does the gameplay support that speed? I'd love to see a game that quick

>>510452

Snaps back on target a bit fast I think.

>doesnt matter about edgeflow, it at least shows subtool useage and connected or disconnected mesh usage.

Point modeling is to parametric modeling as bitmap is to vector. You seem to not understand this.

Some say he only makes models with n-gons and that he uses Blender for it's GUI.

All we know is that he's called The Stig.

Also experimenting with mocap for animations.

A little bit twitchy, smooth it out, also the neck looks really long when you turn your head and it's viewed from some angles.
I can see this being comedy gold, if he explains how he was fighting in the war and making iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeee, pew pew sounds.

>>511063
it looks great
whats your workflow?

>>511067
This.
Anon please, make it happen.

This is a my first 3d model projecy I have commited to.
It is nowhere close to done.
Needs much more detail.
The green is just there so I can see it when animating it.

It is the robot backpack from static shock

Working on another building from Old Town, St. Peters. This one was originally a house built by the town carpenter in 1894 for his wife as a wedding present. In 1954 it was converted to the Town Hall, and in 1976 was converted into the Police Station. It was decommissioned in 1985, and is now empty.

This has been rendering for over an hour.

I have no idea what I'm doing.

>>511156
Are you rendering with your cpu or with a gpu?

>>511158

CPU probably. I only have a laptop.

>>511090
Would anyone else kill to have one of these irl?

>>511159
looks like you're using blender, whats your laptop, should be a sticker on the bottom.

>>511162

I'm using Kerkythea and the laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L755.

>>511163
Yikes, it says it's got 4gb ram. That's crazy, no wonder it's taking so long. Never heard of kerk so i might check that out. But you make do with what you have and grow from there, a better opportunity will present itself and if you work hard enough, you might get money for your work and would be the stepping stone to a better pc to a better suite in 3d.

>>511163
to better suit you and what you're looking and aiming for is what I meant*

I'll keep that in mind, thanks! I only just started doing this as a hobby.

Finally called it quits on the render.

It's WoW fanart, the hands in game are actually much larger, at least on the older models. Also thanks, I've been trying to beat myself into practicing.

Those aren't the materials I imagined it having. Much less spec and reflection. More of a frosted, transparent texture for the green/blue part of the sword. Same for the handle, should be more diffuse in my opinion.

working on this, it was suposed to be a prop for my unreal tournament map, but it resulted in me messing with blender materials so... yeah, critique is apreciated

>>511350
you just wasted 3.17MB of data on your HD and now on teh intaweb.
Press Alt+F4 and drag the files into your trashbin.

>>511350
Lighting's nice, a bit dark overall, exposure up maybe?

Wood's nice on the wall.

Only thing that really bothers me is that the machine just looks a bit too simple.

>>510795
I'd just put a seam on the side and where it ends, should do the trick
