Use the Knife/Slice/Cut (don't know what you max users call it) and cut it out. Clean up your topology, extrude and bridge.

>>528525
That's because of the topology around the cut. The points "don't know" where to go when you shell the surface if there are ngons around the cut.

You'd probably be better shelling the surface first, then the silhouette, and doing the cut when both have volumes

Cute velociraptor

in zbrush how do i import .obj as a subtool with the least amount of hassle?

if i open my projects from my zpr file and i don't have any new tools assisged it gives me trouble when i switch to a new tool to import .obj - i cannot edit my previous tool anymore

maybe im doing this all wrong. can someone direct me

Anyone know anything about porting Blender models to XNAlara?

I just wanna play with dickgirl barbie dolls, man.

Are you using goz plugin with ur app.

Use smooth shading and learn to edge split/10

Various Outrun/Electro/Synthwave

I just listen to a lot of instrumental and math rock.

Chon, Plini, Fall of Troy, Polyphia, the list goes on.

Right now, I'm dwelling in the old school high school feels with some Dance Gavin Dance.

There is no one method to doing anything. It depends on the artist and their preferences as well as the needs of the project.

Generally, if you have a lot of displacement though it's advisable that you make sure that renders properly. From there it can branch off in several ways. For instance, if it's a very stylized non photorealistic character then you'll obviously just have to paint a diffuse texture with built in lighting (and perhaps you will incorporate baked ambient occlusion). If it is meant to have lighting, but you're using an older shading model, then your spec/gloss maps will be following the old method (where you tighten up the gloss where spec is stronger and vice versa). And if you want reflections you'll have to create separate reflectance maps. On the other hand, if you're working with many modern shading models, specular/reflectance is merged into one attribute, which usually stays constant for one material, and highlights are instead controlled with roughness aka gloss, which automatically will dim/brighten highlights based on how rough you make the surface. Or it could be the metal/roughness workflow, in which case you don't need a specular map and you simply define which areas are metal or dielectric (this assigns a constant reflectance to dielectrics if the metallic is 0 and converts your color map to the specular if the metallic is 1). If none of what I said makes sense, you should do some reading on PBR, as you have no business painting maps if you don't understand what they're really doing.

I mainly work aiming for realism, and this is my personal workflow, generally: I make sure displacements work, adjust the scale as desired. I create/import a lookdev lighting setup (a neutral setup that lets you see the model clearly, this could be 3 point lighting, quality HDRI map). Now it depends what kind of model it is, but generally I won't start really doing lookdev yet.

cont.

However, I'll throw shaders and set up basic values so I can get a good sense of things and the maps I need. Because often you'll want way more than just color spec bump and roughness, maybe you're layering a dirt shader on top and want a special map for that if that makes sense. Some people prefer to do more work within the texture painting stage and some within the shading stage. Again... it depends on preferences and needs.

Once I know what I need, I'll start with the bump map usually. Reason being that surface details like this can often be reused in the other maps as a base. It also makes it easier to tweak it in lookdev when there aren't any other maps getting in the way of your judgement. From there, I'll do the color map, making sure not to paint in too much shadows (that's the renderer's job). If you use a software like Substance Painter there's a lot you can get for free procedurally, but even then you'll want to tweak it and do handpainting so it doesn't look like you just slapped it on. Once the color map is done, following general realism guidelines (not too black or too blown out, not too saturated), I'll create a roughness map usually from scratch. Reason being that I find color maps don't always translate great to roughness, and you lose a lot of depth/detail if your roughness map is a clone of the color. You want the reflectance of the surface to feel independent from the color. At various points I'll export my maps out to keep testing them in the lookdev scene (especially if you're only using photoshop). A good understanding of shading will help as you can do a lot outside of texturing to bolster the look of the object, like layering on procedural noise/patterns to vary the color and value of surfaces.

Wow thanks for those info man.. Really appreciate it

The image is too small to tell what's really going on. Up the resolution by a factor of four and repost.

also, wooden surfaces are too flat, and the carpet looks clumsy
Looks like it's some seashore city in the middle of summer, so why the fuck are all those lights on? I get it, you want to show them, but still...

She only learned how to hide shit with ctrl+h. Also, who uses a textbook in this day and age?

I wish the studio I work at was like the one in this show though.

try shirobako is more realistic imo

>>528283
Yes.

I don't use Sketchup. I use Maya with Vray and i'm not a pro, but maybe if you have something with Vray in Maya i could help...

I dont know about a material for free that can teach you Vray (unless youtube tutorials), i learned VRay online (still learning actually)..

If you're a graphic designer you would be best getting familiar with Cinema 4D. Import illustrator file and extrude paths to get geometry.

> Modo
literally what ?

>>526306
It's made by brits, which is questionable to me, but it's supposed to be good.

>>526309
I don't think anything can surpass the autojew products. Never tried Modo but by the looks of the trailer, there is nothing you can't do in Modo in Max or Maya.

because professionals aren't degenerates that make that stuff

Of course, for the right price.

Make them in Daz Studio or Poser.

If its not too specific, they need to be dressed professionally (or church-y?).

I already have software, I just need the file.
I'm working in 3dsmax if that helps

Dude, you can get the fully operational education license for free, they don't even check if you are a student (at least Autodesk). Unless you are incapable of removing the tiny watermark from your documents, then shit man, better rev up them torrents.

Apologies for the terrible writing-style, I'm a tired mofo.

1. you don't need it anyway
2. what will you do when you are in a studio with no multi button mouse?

if you are a hobbyist use whatever the fuck you like, use toaster if it increases your workflow. if you have ambition/doing 3d as work, use what the industry uses

not rocket science.

>>525748
not OP
1. you don't need a Latte Macciato, a blowjob and a massage either, but its still good to have it.
2. bring / buy / demand a proper mouse

Why would I hire someone who can't even be bothered to spend 30 seconds making an account?

I just want something fast. Most sites have these coins and shit that I have to get to work for people and the coins cost money. But thanks for stopping by I guess
