seriously nobody is willing to help?

Ever browsed edit mode?

There's an option called Make Solid

You want someone to finish it for you?

>today i entered a website of people in my country that are looking for job in many areas. 2D,3D,animation,video editing,programming,web design,writing,acting etc.
>the number of people looking for a job or a gig is just unreal.

Most of those people are prob freelance, so you should expect a large volume of individuals. Also depends where you live.

>i feel like learning 3D or anything that involves some sort of art in it is just futile, expect for very specific niche stuff that requires good technical level of skill to begin with (character artists,unity programmers etc).

It always related to your skill / portfolio. 3D generalists are nothing to scoff at either, and are often times much more useful to a production comp then someone who's deep into a subject, simply because they can move around on projects.

>should i just keep it as a hobby and not attempt to go into such industry or just study something more practical and handy rather than compete in such a stacked industry.

Are you motivated enough to learn on your own? Do you enjoy it enough to sit down 3 hours, a day to watch tutorials? Do you already know someone in the industry? Do you come from a family that can support you for the next 2-5 years of you life as you study and try to get a position and make contacts, and work on projects for slave wages?

>Are you motivated enough to learn on your own? Do you enjoy it enough to sit down 3 hours, a day to watch tutorials?
yes
>Do you already know someone in the industry?
not very personally, i speak with them occasionally about technical stuff and not about work.
>Do you come from a family that can support you for the next 2-5 years of you life
yes.

i already have a portfolio that is 1 year in the making, i receive criticism by other artists on a regular basis.
its just that i am socially autistic and i won't post anything i made here.
and the people that post 3D work on that website are not of a concern to me, what concern's me is the number of people looking for work

>>539491
Absolutely. There is always a high demand for art. What is your specialty

just don't worry about it.

get a good shape first, worry about topology later.

when you export the model just triangulate faces.

is dat gonna be a b-29?

its not a useless loop.

Here is the one you drew.

Dude its simple i want a software to make video montage.Stupid image superposition like Randy Orton vids.

aftereffects

Looks pretty good, but imo the legs are too big / chunky

Is this an overgrowth skin?

Your sculpt is great so far. I'll be honest, it looks like you're still refining the legs right now, they don't look as polished as the torso, head, and arms.

As for the design, I'd go for something more creature-like for the arms. The human arms don't match the creature's legs. I'd sculpt some claws or spikes on them. Or even if you don't want to redo the sculpt, I'd recommend doing some texture work to make the arms look reptilian.

So they thing that happens, is that I get this message about som ".toc" file that doesn't exist, never did when I ever saved it anywhere, and then it tells me the project isn't valid, when I worked on it just 5 minutes ago, and saved it properly.

Next time.

Depends entirely on how well you can animate, although most lewd SFM animators just shit out 20 frame loops daily to try to conceal the fact that they really don't know how to animate.

So the community's standards are pretty low. I'd say 1k-2k/month per animator if you consistently put out shit and become a big name like LordAardvark.
Aardvark isn't even that good, but he still makes 2.7k a month because people know who he is.

Actually lord isn't known for his Animations, Its his ports.

Technically everything gets converted to tris, but it is most apparent in vidia games. This is because its easier for a computer to calculate a tri rather then a quad. If you have 3 points, you mathematically have a flat shape, no matter where those points are.

If you have a quad, you could have an unknown face. The computer does not know exactly what to do with it, so it has to calculate it as if it were 4 faces. This is not a problem in movies, etc because you have render farms, and don't have to rely on someone outdated graphics card.

Also things like openGL don't even allow quads or ngons, because thats how it was made.

That being said, it best to model in quads, then have your model converted to tris if needed. you can read about ti here. http://blog.digitaltutors.com/modeling-with-quads-or-triangles/

Also zbrush does not like tris, it likes quads, because it allows for better subdividing.

>>539428
opengl does support quads and polygons

Quads are preferred for working with since it allows edge loops and subdividing. Tris are what they actually are for your GPU. A quad is two tris, a poly with 5 vertices is three tris and so on.

sigh...

what you 3D Negroes don't understand about design for a designer/engineer standpoint is a simple rule.

anything you design whenever its a gun, a rifle or even something that would never exist have to be practical in design.
the more crap you have on your gun, the worse you are as a deisgner.
>B-BUT MUH SCI FI DESIGNS
if you knew anything about design you would also know that something like a gun need to be lightweight and the features like safety and slide release have to be concealed as possible.
i mean even crazy designs like the XM29 are better than your sci-fi guns because it serves a purpose.
even a gun like the FNH 45 got turned down by the military because it had too much crap on it. and its a high end gun you can only dream of.

same thing with those bigass robots or those scifi android that have all these screws and bolt that really serve no purpose.

I never said I was an advanced designer or even good at this. I'm in college, this is one of my first projects in 3D CGI.

I should clarify, this is NOT the final model nor the one that would actually be implemented. This is a high poly model that is going to be baked as a normal map on a lower poly model

How can I make it look cool but have less detail?

>>539398
if you want reference material for sci-fi check out fox3d (artists for subnautica) or robert hodri (id software)

also look for pre 2000 mecha designs and notice the difference

Watch some fucking tutorials on youtube, you lazy fuck.

Did you make this OP? This looks like those shitty porn models.

>>539213
its saved in the obj/fbx/dae, you don't have to do anything

Always triangulates the models and fucks them.

where are you getting the model from?

>>539125
Your topology is too soft looking, it looks like it's made out of cheese.
>Yes cheese.
You can sculpt weapons to add detail but this looks too soft. There's a reason why it's called
>hardsurfacemodelling.obj

>>539125
Looks like a pretty rough sketch, but keep going.

Crease/bevel your edges, add in the components of the gun you are missing, then touch it up and post the update.

>>539129
>There's a reason why it's called
>>hardsurfacemodelling.obj
There's no distinction between hard surface or organic, if any, it's probably if the object will be deformed during animation.
Otherwise, OP, it doesn't look like hands would conform to that grip, there's also that crease running lengthwise down the stock. Looks breddy good tho

I feel you

Looking for the proper keyword is a big problem for us since you won't know what to search for until you already understood what it is you're supposed to do.

I run into 5 of these a day with maya. blender has so many users though i always find the solution online

thats what you get for being a fucking idiot.

you should have upgraded to windows 10
