Here's some good advice from an expert:
Disregard all the bullshit on this board. It would be better for you if you didn't lurk here. Instead I would advise you to read (!) beginner tutorials and learn as many of the keyboard shortcuts as you can. Then slowly start watching videos. Choose the ones where the person has screen cast enabled so you can see what they're typing at all times.
Go to blenderartists.org for more support. This place only has angry, impatient teenagers.

no reason.

people produce garbage with blender because the tutorial are not up to par with how fast the industry is moving. blender as a program is up to par but the tutorials aren't.

iv seen blender reels that blown me away, and that's only from the top 10% artists who really dug in and explored the program

>Why do so many of you hate/ dislike Blender?

It's just a board meme, like squatz 'n oats on /fit/ or "playstation home gaming consoles have no games"

The fact that it's free, runs on almost any hardware, and has really ugly default settings (for the love of god, stop using the grey World setting as your only light source!) so you end up with a lot of garbage much the way you get lots of garbage pbrush.exe doodles

old old content and mostly stuff from wii/gamecube
tf3dm, sfmlab and xnalara are better resources.

>>540344
I kinda wish they would update faster instead of just once a month

I also feel like they're missing a lot of models that are available in others, specially from certain popular games.

If i could find a good starter tutorial that isn't some teenager fucking with a block for 20 minutes.

>>540803
this blender tutorials are ass

composition.
rendering

had it both at first then i realized the world of rendering and composition goes much beyond shaders and materials and sometimes it makes all the difference

I haven't gotten into rigging yet.

I also struggle a bit with rendering, and I end up sitting there staring at the rendering process.

Composing, rendering, and textures.

> i realized that "line" on the edge of the model based on the position from the camera

What do you mean?

Do you mean toon outline?

pretty sure it's Fresnel you need to look into

>>540760
in which program ?

>>540760

That particular picture was most likely rendered using either VRay or Octane, both of which allow for simulation of lens effects like bloom or glare.

That being said, you could also just use Photoshop to fake the effect in post production.

>>540761
Either in 3dsMax with Vray or Blender with Cycles.

>>540762
How do you do it in Photoshop? Any particular tool to use?

>>540785
shut the fuck up bitch.

>go from c4d to blender
if you dropped it at maya, it would have been and argument. shitty, but still. but blender? that's like saying to unlearn photoshop and learn gimp

Shit thread. The correct answer is both.

>>539897
Yea, from what I understand, You use both. No?

>>539891
Personally I use bones, but that's because it's for a homemade project with a custom engine that doesn't support shape keys yet.

An advantage of bone rigs is you can share the animations or expressions if you rig all the faces the same way.

Also it kinda depends on what you like more, sculpting or scripting.

right what board is this on

Asian moot talked about the server overloading and they can't pay for the huge server traffic. So the boards getting the axe are probably the ones with the most population, most image wemb/gif uploads and most complained about. Which I'm thinking makes /soc/, /pol/, /int/, /gif/, /wg/ best candidates.

Their server overload problem wouldn't get fixed at all if they delete /3/ or /ic/. With a slight cocky confidence, I think I can say that we are one of the most productive boards with least population, I think we're in the safe.

Can't make any file "read-only", whether it's for Solidworks or any other software. Only way to do it is not to give out the file to anyone else.

If someone else has the file, they can do literally anything they want with it, regardless of how much you want to protect it. It's the same reason that every DRM ever can be cracked/circumvented.

>>540279
I know that you could covert the file.to a pdf but im not sure if you can still use it in that form for printing

Anyone know of a file type thats compatable for a 3d printer to print but not an editing software like solidworks or autodesk?

>>540286
Converting to STEP/IGES will remove most information about the construction of the model and will probably work with the 3d printer

noone cares which program you use , just if you make good stuff, only I think if you work at pixar or somewhere else where you need to literally work on the same thing with others (in the same program)

>>537742
Yeah, I get that.
I just wonder how diffrent they are from eachother.
If I'll have to waste time learning blender and then have to re-learn everything for Maya it don't feel worth it.

>>537743
you dont "re-learn" , you just get into an other User interface

You know that Blender has motion tracking, and its free , right ?
