Do you have it set correctly in texture's animation tab? I don't see how an image sequence wouldn't work.

>>534397
Yes, made a jpeg sequence in After effects and then loaded the first image into the mat editor and the first image shows up in the mat editor, but when I apply it, all I see is a solid red or white color on my object

I'm a french from /pol but, do you think I'm racist ?

>>532605
you are fucking dazfag not a racist )) but as daz goes I like your shit )) I even followed you on deviantart, but I really don't use it, but Daz sucks also and everyone using it

How often are sales, I just started today learning to use Daz but I'm not gonna spend any damn money when I barely know how to use it just cause muh sale.

So how often do sales like this or perhaps = pr better ones happen? Other than that, no... no shilling pls.

>>531219
Thanks I bought 3 of each

>tfw already bought all those on previous sales
>never use them
>>531224
Sales all the time but it depends on what you are looking for. The last time I saw Generation 4 discounted like this was maybe six months ago. Perhaps more.

good job cherry picking the two fucking models of humans that have modeled almost every internal system of the human body.

Maybe if you want a cheap model you should get one that models the outer body and not EVERY INTERNAL SYSTEM dumbass. Basic human models in real life cost less than anatomically correct ones simply because it's less difficult to model an outline of an body than to model the body in high detail with all the internal organs.

>>533003
I actually don't wanna buy any models I was just asking a simple question because my browsings through various 3d shopping networks have many things over the 200 USD range.

Like these sports balls cost over 100 dollars
http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/colecci%F3n-balls-3d-3ds/425498

I just don't get it, care to explain without all the ad hominem?

>>533001
The number of times that kind of content will be sold before it's outdated is very limited.
The artists doing freelance stuff like that will have to earn a few thousand bucks a month from their time spent creating that content.

To make a complete human anatomy require a lot of knowledge as well as developed modlling skills.
It's probably close to half a years worth of reserach and work for a lone artist.
Meaning it'd cost you in the ballpark of $30000 to hire someone to make that for you from scratch.

It's my job. I modelled weapons for Crysis 3 and Battlefield 4

>>534169
That is a loaded question anon, you need to understand that what you deem a worthwhile existence might look very different to other people.
Artists are typically introverted tinkerers that live out the majority of their lives inside the rich internal world of their own mind.
Extroverted people who are dependent on continuous interactions with others in order to further the narrative of their existence in a worthwhile direction
have a psychology that is an ill fit for the kind of temperament necessary to thrive in this type of endeavor where endless sessions spent in solitude is the key to success.

In short yes we have lives, but lives that are inaccessible to personality types lacking the quirks that drives us to do what we do.

You tell em Anon

>it's a however long it takes for you to get good to be good journey

The question you're asking is essentially: how do I know I'm good enough to know if I'm wasting my time or not.

The answer is up to you, if you keep spending your time doing this its' not time wasted.
If you quit right now you've wasted a bit of time, but not as much as if you quit in the future.

Use the first software you come across until your projects reach the limitations of what's possible, that's my advice.
2D is still really nice, anyway, you'll just be making 3D environments and half ignorning one of the dimensions

>>>also getting good at 3d is it like 6month + journey of learning to become good?
topkek
i have 15 years of experience in industry, worked on dead island, dying light and lawbreakers, along with many titles you dont probably know, and i still know shit :D

But laughing aside, sucking in something is first step of being good at something.
Nowadays you have plenty of resources onthe internet, buy tutorials (and i mean buy, not hoard them through torrent, because you wont value them then), learn from them, and for gods sake - dont put tutorial-m,ade things in your portfolio - i have daily 3-5 applications that have nothing but tutorial assets in portfolio. Seriously, you people need to stop that - make something unique, all by yourself, to actually show that skills youlearned can be applied in different scenarios.

you can try print a few examples and try to sell them on etsy or something like that

otherwise i suggest you learn some solidworks, maybe you could start printing replacement parts

Answered your /ic post

>so nobody makes mistakes but do you ask fellow colleagues and peers for help?

when dropping at a studio, you better be competent. but nothing is absolute since 3D tech is so fast moving its hard to catch up to the latest software and techniques.

if you are a 3D modeler, you better know some unity/unreal + some coding. because the future is uncertain

>>531681
>As a modeller you should know some coding

lmao this clown, ive been modelling only and in the industry for 4 years now, nobody cares, as long as the team gets the work done to time, we eat and play around in offices all day, fucking sending this from wotrk right now

>>531734
i meant when getting a job, not when already working.

most positions in 3d are not entry level

why not pirate it just like everybody else

>>531719
Indie game dev
>>maybe if you pirate it for private use then its ok

>>531720
>moral reasons
LMAO

>>534197
You could always check out the amateur game development general on /vg/, but I doubt you'll be able to find an artist just like this anywhere. Try showing off a prototype with placeholders too or whatever.

>>534210
your right i will just testing the water

im willing to give it a go
what artstyle are we talking about?

standard sphere mapping that shit and call it a day

Walk around for a few minutes, decompress, come back. Check out pelt mapping, and look up simple tutorials. Out of all the mistakes you think you're making, it's still a learning experience.

>>531112
Dont give up. The problem is your thinking too far ahead, start slow. Its gonna take time. But once youve mastered these fundamentals, you'll never forget and its only going to get better.

Put some music on set aside some time and go at it

because studious use contractors therefore don't have to pay benefits to employees

they open and close studious to avoid some kind of tax requirement too
3D studious don't really hire modelers they just contract them. in blizzard only the senior/lead modeler stay in place others do work and get dropped after few months

>>532763
>because studious use contractors therefore don't have to pay benefits to employees

bullshit.
never heard of anyone shutting down an entire studio, moving to another location, reopening just to avoid taxes. the paperwork and the hassle to close and reopen a business isn't worth it, besides, you still gotta pay your taxes, closing the business don't exam you from it, if it did, every single business would do it.

most decent studios do offer healthcare and 401k and other benefits to employees.
if you check any studios glassdoor page they have the benefits and under salary they have the salary for the employees and the contractors.

Worked a decade in games industry, changed job 6 times..
Theres tons of reasons:
Studio closure/layoffs
Better job offer (recruiters are always hounding people with experience)
Personal reasons like moving to a better city
Chance to negotiate better pay
Better projects

And sometimes if a friend gets a job somewhere and its awesome theres always a chance you'll follow suit for the fuck of it.

it varies and depends on what model you unwrap
you need to mark seams properly more than you need to learn how to arrange UV's

>>525371
Depends entirely on the complexity of the model, its purpose, texture resolution, special material functions, etc.

A tiny prop will get auto-UVs with island margins corresponding to its texture resolution, that's less than 5 minutes of work. A 30k-tris character with multiple materials will get handplaced shells, multiple uv layers (base, lightmap, possibly others), etc, that can take anywhere from 1 day to a week.

>>525382
>>525371
if you wanted to know about your picture: those UVs have definitely been arranged manually, unwrapping it would have taken me at least a day.

Honestly mac's really aren't THAT expensive. Especially if you aren't a retard when you buy it. Yeah, for 3d stuff, it's pretty pointless if you're doing animations, not too bad for single images depending on what render engine you're using.

I have a PC I built myself (its kinda old) it's got a 6core amd, so not fantastic, maybe around $800-1000 for all the parts when I put it together.

And I also just bought a mac off some guy on craigslist for $1000, it shits on my PC. 4th Gen i7, maybe 8 cores (that's what it shows on my activity monitor) 16 gigs of ram, and a 250gb SSD. Not too bad, but also 90% sure it was stolen.

The operating system is far beyond windows in terms of stability and how lite it is.

I run CPU renders, so the graphics card isn't a big deal to me. So my mac does everything I need it to do, and wasn't any more expensive than any PC. So I don't really know where all the hate comes from
