Mayas shit now they removed vertex merge tool

>>532288

people were talking same shit when they introduced multicut tool..
there is merhe veryex tool ...

>>532221
do it again until it looks professional

>>532221

Post ur reference impossible to critique otherwise.

front arms look like shit. Longer than they should be, more outward than they should be. Face makes it look like it has downs. you haven't even applied fur texture yet.

You only gave us 1 and a half photos about it. Need more angles.

So much this

I don't consider myself a noob anymore but this shit is so anoying, and I only recall being able to change it once but I don't recall how

shader tricks

nice. Looks like another deadly glasses throw right to the jugular

>>532176
You talking about like in a video game or in something pre rendered?

>>531832
That is actually pretty fucking sick the tutorial i have is from digital tutors and its fucking waste of my time, the dnd result sont even have as much complex shit as yours, please share the tut

>>531858
>complex
lol

I would suggest replicating the things you've learned from that tutorial but in an original scene, and try not to refer back to the tutorial.
It's one thing to follow a tutorial, but completely useless if you didn't retain any information or have no creativity.

>>531860
The digital tutors im doing is not even close to this, all im learning about is fuckigng edgeloops, and now people are telling me dont use edgeloops, wtf, seems like digitaltutors are some insiders to fuck people up instead of teaching them real quick methods and shortcuts

More angles

doesn't have much depth to it/10

watch out for double transformations if you're going to combine blend shapes and on-face controls. direct connections, using set driven keys instead of point on poly constraints/follicles, are two ways to circumvent that problem.

you don't zero out joints since joints represent world space values/pivots. so I don't get why you want to zero them out. is it because you want to drive these joints with the gui controls? what you CAN do, if you want to create direct connections between controls and joint values, is connect to a group above each joint, or connect to a zeroed out joint that is moved via a group above itself.

note that what i described is pretty fucking tedious so you should script some of it

honestly, I don't entirely get what you're envisioning, also I'm not really a rigger or a high level artist at all. but I did make a rig a while back that had a sort of gui and combined a joint + blendshape setup: https://vimeo.com/176342795
go to 0:52, conceptually is this kind of what you're talking about?

>>531389
First of all your stuff is amazing, I hope to get to that level someday.
I've only barely scripted in MEL but if I found some straightforward documentation on it or something I could try. And yeah, that's basically what I'm talking about.
Before this I've just done parenting, which wasn't a problem because as long as the control was in front of the face and parented to the head rig, the face joints moved properly. Since I want to use a GUI here I can't parent them and haven't really connected them any other way, but if you're saying connecting to a null group above each joint would fix that then I can do that easily.

If I'm not mistaken this rig https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQQO4koP7Q0 shows what I mean.
Also thanks a lot for being kind and offering your help!

>>531391
Oh forgot to mention, I really want to stay away from blend shapes and just use set driven keys instead since a lot of the expressiveness will come from the eyes and mouth anyways. My computer's pretty old and Maya LT runs kind of shitty as is, haha.

Find a tutorial of something with a good amount of complexity and that takes ~2 hours or so to complete. That should teach a good amount of nuance and technique.

Also, if you have a tablet or even a phone I guess, download the current Blender manual/documentation and read it from beginning to end. Just a few minutes of reading in bed every night is all you need.

>>530844
> gib me fun theory/technique part first
> tutorials are paint by numbers shit, copying someone else is for faggots
> teach me a technical skill the way *I* think makes sense

>>530848
> you should pick long, complicated project for your first exposure to a new skillset because the best way to commit information to long-term memory is to bombard it with the most information at once
> later, read documentation out of direct context from its product

/3/, is it worth it to school either of these idiots or should I just let this thread slowly hit page 10?

>>531454
haha yeah man epic. nothing worse than a person making an honest effort to learn something new :^)

pretty good

What where you thinking about?

Some of the shapes I would like printed are huminoid creatures. Goblins, zombies, mermaids, and mermen, and possibly more depending on how fast and efficient you are. Extra will be paid to anyone who can add a holder for a d20 at the base.

I also need someone to redesign one of my earlier projects so it's better for the demographic I'm selling to. I sell tarmogoyf dice, and I lost the program to make the sides different. I made one of the sides a 0/1, when I meant it to be a 6/7

>>531682
Can't help you, but I'm curious what kind of playlist you have in mind - do tell

>>531682
Are you a pleb or a novice?

You mean one exactly like this or just in general?

Either way, I'm sure much of it can be handled in Photoshop with ease.

/gd/ is probably a more suitable board for such trivial work.

If you must do it in a 3d software and want specifics:
Text can be done with a simple text tool, I'm sure any 3D package has this. For the ribbons, just create simple sub-divided planes and drop them with a cloth sim.

Everything else is seriously babby's first Photoshop work, google it.

Listen to a podcast or something while working?
I'm the kind of person who can't really work on something creative without some background talking.

>>529952
Do you have any you could recommend?

Working alone is the worst.... Same problem here, when i was living and working with my friends i was making huge progress, but now am home and working alone on my demoreel and its like i have totally lost my motivation and creativity... Fucking hell...

This may sound dumb, I'm basically taking an extreme example to discuss the legality of manipulating copyrighted images.

One way of using an image for texture is using the color picker and taking color from the image. In my point of view, taking colors from an image is, in one way, using / manipulating the image. Obviously, no one is going to successfully sue you for taking colors from their image, but I wonder what the justification is between picking colors off an image and using the image as a texture.

>>531687
Oh I just realized that a more sensible and less extreme example of this would be using a clone brush and taking a very small portion of a picture, like cloning the hair on an animal and painting a 3d model with the clone brush.

I'm not a lawyer, but it seems like that kind of use would be totally untraceable anyway, and I'm sure everyone who doesn't have access to a license for some huge database of assets does it anyway.
