it depends.
if its wool like ur pic you would have to do some fuckery with nurbs and somehow have awsome UV's

if its a surface of shirt it would be alot easier, substance painter have several of wool materials. just have the mesh unwrapped

If it's up close and you can really see the weaving like that, you could do it with a procedural solution e.g. Houdini. Medium distance maybe displacement will look good enough (either procedural or image-based). From farther distance, normal/bump will be sufficient.

This reminds me of a tutorial i never got around to trying out. Maybe this could apply if you understood what the guy was doing.

Don't you just double click to get rid of the current line? What version do you have?

Press L to stop and press L to start a new line. I also use A to draw an arc while I am drawing with lines and then L to get back to lines.

Can anybody help me with static simulation?
I am trying to simulate a displacement of 320x320mm plate, 4mm thick. I am comparing steel vs aluminium. By my logic steel should have about 3 times lower displacement than aluminium, because it has 3 times higher modulus of elasticity. But the results I get from simulation differs only for 1.5 times.
What am I doing wrong?

I should probably clarify:

I want this model to work and be posable within sfm. Basically what the tutorial's end-result is.

And I'll use the name Guts Wanter on here to make things easier.

>>534490
I'll do it if nobody else claims this by Monday.(I'm free during the week.)

>>534498
Thanks dude. Would you mind giving me some kind of way to contact you? A dud gmail should be fine.

Mudbox is hardly used compared to zbrush, but knowing one will transfer to the other fairly easily. In truth, its less about the program, and more about knowing how to sculpt. If you truly want to learn how to use mudbox or zbrush well, you should learn how to use real clay, and take a few anatomy classes.

>>534797
>is it worth learning?

Not really, but if you're taking a course anyway it's not like you'll be wasting your time; you'll still learn the fundamentals and the core concepts, so when you switch over to zbrush you'll just have to learn a new UI

>>534797
mudbox isn't very good, the only thing it really had going for it was it's painting tools, and now there are several better options for painting models, so not really worth it. it's not a hard app to learn so if you want to spend a weekend learning it go for it.

>>534659
You won't make it.

use pirated until you can afford Maya LT, then move to that to publish.

>>534662

The Maya LT idea is fantastic. I'm ashamed not to have thought of it earlier. Thanks a lot!!

I'll grab the Maya LT monthly subscription for a few months around the time I publish the game. I'll check out if it's legal to use assets once the sub has been paused/discontinued ...

>What are your thoughts on the model viewing site Sketchfab
its good. you can add your own hdri and backgrounds
>Have you uploaded your 3D models to it?
yes

>>534747
Is it safe to upload too? I'm not sure how people rip models from games but it seems they can get models from about anything now days.

>>534751

Yup you can rip from it, this is why people should just concentrate on making models of known properties.

is this satire

Gleb pls go away

Yeah uhh literally impossible within the software

check baking shadows and ambient, examples in following links (you may find more with google..):

This is why i like to create my own bone setup

>>534323
Install blender. :-)

I figured it out i made it an editable mesh not an editable poly sorry about the shit thread

>>534373
We forgive you, anon

If you need absolute accuracy, look at revit, solid works, any 3D CAD.

123make has a neat slicing output that gives dxf "skeleton" of the 3d model that you can laser cut.

I want one

I have the Apprentice Version.
I plan to use it for some explosions/smoke/dust simulations.
I have a bare-bone Linux system just for Houdini, because i want to use all my available RAM for simulation and not waste 2+GB for Windows.

>>532982

That fucking UI is atrocious. It looks like something from Windows 3.5 days.

>>533098
That is an ancient version in the pic.

Just try mapping a gradient without if mapping. JUST generated coordinates

*UV mapping
Sorry, I was on my phone.

>>531704
Thats cool so am I, hence why the image I posted was so small and shit. Thanks for the tip though I will give that a try!

It's basically nothing but a dick waving contest to see who can get the fastest render times and who has more features. Then fanboyism comes to play and is just a multi-layered skub fight.

>It seems some of these renderers are designed to shorten render times
Because some people don't have the time to wait 20+ hours for a clean render.

>My real questions here is when you consider all of the slider tweaking to reduce grain, and the time it takes to learn how to use renderer specific materials and lights, and the high cost, are the advantages really worth it?
Sometimes yes. Most of the proprietary renderers have the funds to go into paying researchers that can program the latest and greatest algorithms into their program. Also 24/7 support. Whereas open source renderers take more time because most of the time they are made by people who do it in their spare time.

>I just want to cut render times down when it comes to GI, not try to drastically improve the way renders look btw.
Render times mostly come down to scene complexity (amount of GI, materials and their complexity, output resolution, texture resolution(?), amount of light sources, etc.) and your own computer's specs. If you're able to either invest in your own rendering farm or pay for a rendering farm service.

Also Luxrender > Cycles.

get vray

otherwise if you are doing heavy commercial work and your render is not fast enough do it through a render farm, some are cheap
