If you're the same dazbro from the previous thread >>530724
You've already given me a great boost.
Also I've just started a new thread to try and help other new users >>538145

Still learning the HDRI options.

Apparently they have a few base models for every race etc (high anteroposterior diameter of head and thick lips for niggers) and you can only alter them a little using your reference image. After applying the changes the model will only look like the reference when its textured. It will still look like a generic head model when you remove the texture.

Can anyone post a noob friendly turorial for making a 3d head from front and side photo?

Welcome to the limbo

Yeah I should've figured there's not a lot of traffic here. I didn't want to skip this place completely though. Thanks anyways <3

There is lots of people at disney with only a math background. The math people give some technology/math algorytthm, dev put them in 3d software and TDs ar making interface for artists :)

just become a tech artist?

try houdini

>>537408
This gives me hope. Do you know if they all have PhDs or is lower education also acceptable? Any tips on what branches these guys usually specialize in? I'm guessing computational geometry and numerical analysis, but could be missing something.

>>537418
>try houdini
Any particular problems I could try and solve? Something that I can put on the CV as research experience or something along those lines, maybe get an article out of. I've mostly been doing work in Maya and have some experience writing plugins in C++, but other than that most of my work isn't done in connection with any 3D packages and is just theory masturbation :^)

I heard someone once tried to do part of a car, and to get around the reflective surface of the paint, they covered the area with talcum powder. I'd guess a fairly light dusting, just enough to give it an inconsistent look that the photogrammetry software can catch onto.
The upside to it was it washes off when you're done.

Hi. Just got into photogrammetry after experimenting with laser scanning with a Kinect for a few months, and compared to the shit that gave me, this stuff is magic.
Am using a Canon PowerShot G15, manual mode, always saving to RAW and at low ISO-large aperture to reduce noise but not blur, Photoshop to convert to TIFF and Agisoft Photoscan to make shit.
Usually, processing everything is pretty fast on my crappy rig (intel i5-4200u, nvidia gt740m, 6gb ram) with sessions of up to ~70 photos taking about an hour (highest align, medium dense, high mesh, 8192x1 texture) and taking even up to 5 hours on sessions with more than 150 images or if they're in jpeg.
For some reason, Photoscan really hates jpeg images, or my Moto G 3's camera (used it before using the PowerShot.)
One issue is that models tend to get extremely high poly, and decimating in something like Max makes it really fucked up, so I'm using Photoshop's Normal and Bump 3D filters on the textures to overcome this.

Pic related is a little ceramic sculpture captured with a Kinect (~380 scans) and phone camera (~251 images) .
I have a couple of test images for Photoscan, if anyone is interested.

There's also chalk spray which was recommended in an official 123D Catch video.

Go with blender. Weights about 100 MB, It's a really good modeling software once you learn the hotkeys, and it's also free.

>>537983
okay, i'll try it. Thanks bro

Is this a shit post or are you delusional?

delusional about what? if theres a problem with it then tell me

Nigger, just pirate poser. OR, Daz studio is free.

>not making your own models
Where's the fun in buying other people's models?

>>535787
Speaking as a guy who makes money by selling my models to dudes who use poser/daz, I'm happy to make him all the models he needs.

programming is even less stable than 3D.
if you do choose programming learn sql and asp

First off

Secondly, you're going for the hardest profession in the games industry. you're definitely going to starve son.

I suggest focusing on your anatomy studies as much as possible and selling content on the markets (Unity/Unreal/Turbo/CGTrader) until you find stable work making characters. These markets are the best thing ever right now for character people

You could also just brush up on environment stuff and do that too. Its not hard. Definitely easier than character stuff.

Your work is alright

check the wiki.polycount.com ffr

if you have got the right school, you shouldnt worry about that.

Duk A is smoother

But duk B is more abstract

search "animation blending"

>>536079
>Also, making each animation a file and exporting it to UE4 also seems to be a bit of a problem, I can't find anything about turning animations into their own files. If anyone know anything about this I would be even more grateful.
Been awhile since I tried importing animations into UE4 from Blender but I remember having to make them into Actions in the NLA editor (so I could give them proper names like walk, jump etc).

Change the FBX export to animations and you'll see the NLA option. I quick look and tooltip say it'll export "All non-muted NLA strips". So if you want to export 1 animation out of several I guess you mute all except that one and run FBX export.

>>536155
Yeah, I found out how to export everything, but not single animations. Seems like other people have trouble with that too, but I'll try with the muting.

>>536082
Weirdly enough, I can't seem to find anything in depth on this subject, neither in blender or UE4. I think I'll have to watch a video series where they create an entire character to get to that point. Google doesn't give any answer, not anything that I've found at least.

>>537826
I own a render farm in Taiwan. A 1080, lots of ram, good processor is fine for rendering a physics animation. Really no point in paying for rendering services either.

I do whatever the situation calls for.

>smooth operator operating correctly

Do you mean box modelling ?
sculpting is poly modelling

A bust isn't impressive. make a full character sculpt. quality/balanced design is far more impressive than just sculpting. demonstrate your understanding of 3d forms. Sculpting fine detail on a bust doesn't do this.

Flowers are fairly easy but can look really classy and aren't done so often that everyone is familiar with how hard they are.

Insects and similar can work as well. A millipede is basically just one segment copy-and-pasted many times plus a head and arse. Plus most people don't really know exactly what they look like up close so you can get stuff a bit wrong.
