Do you have dimensions?

>>574560
5.5" x 1.5"
although I woul prefer metric.

You don't want to pay 40 bucks for a few stl models, what are you a fucking jew?

zbrush is for organics. there are lots of artists that combine zbrush with blender

>>570887

Zmodeler is fucking slow.

Big deal is that you can map every single action to a hotkey (and same hotkey can be mapped to a different command dependent on your active tool/viewport), and once you do that you can work very fast.

As for stack, they've added procedural modelling in MODO 11, it kind of works like it.

Are you 100% Modo now then? What were you in before and what do you miss about it?
What sucks about Modo, I guess is what I'm asking...

Ok... I'm loving the profile function integrated into the loop slice tool. That's really cool...

There's some good tutorials there but shits way too expensive for what it provides.

It's mostly (entirely) beginner shit, but if you're the average /3/ user, by god do you need beginner shit.

I got it and leaened alot
Its got some advanced stuff if you dig deep enough

you won't be able to get this shit right with just 2 days in blender.
im sorry

Where'd you get this model anon? I want!

Where did you not get her panties?

>>574779
Why does this deserve its own thread? Looks like shit by the way.

>>574785
thank you, will try to improve on that.

>>574779
Work on the glass specularity it looks like there's a pin light on it.

for industrial design you don't necessarily need a degree, but you won't make your own shit if your'e not an engineer to begin with

>>574700
I just want an easy job following instructions and making shit on autocad.

REEEEEEEEEE

I just want to be paid for making blueprints.

>>574747
Then go on Craigslist and start applying for design jobs.

Your thread confuses me. What kind of jobs are you looking at that ask for technical drawing/CAD skills? CAD jobs?

If so yes, you need to learn technical drawing and CAD.

>>574642
When I was talking to some mechanical engineering faculty at my university, drawing shit by hand isn't even taught anymore.

Everything is Solidworks now.

>How do I unfuck this situation?
You really did a shit job of defining your problem, so I'll try to guess at some possible problems you might be having and how to fix them.

If you're just fishing for a "oh Anon you're just being a perfectionist, your garbage looks great :D" you aren't going to get that here. If you're seriously unhappy about your work and feel like what's in your head isn't coming out on the screen, then you lack experience.

Do big multi-part (as in several hours) tutorials that you finish a big complex model with texturing and shit. Do several of them, you'll feel better about yourself and realize that it IS possible for YOU to produce something that looks good (even if you're following someone else's method), and you'll learn some ways to produce certain shapes, forms, how to solve certain problems that come up.
Because the "I imagine this and then I go to model it and can't get it the way I want it" (if that's your problem) is the result of a lack of experience.

Now, there's another possible problem, which is if you said you were getting shit renders, rendering is its own artform all unto itself. For that you need to understand Lighting (topics to google: HDRi, 3-point Lighting, Light Theory), Materials (PBR or Physically Based Materials, Dielectric vs Metal, NPR or Non-Photo Realistic Material), Scene Composition (this is a general art / photography concept related to making something visually interesting), and Compositing (aka Post aka tweaking the Rendered result's color balance or adding shit that would suck to render but is trivial to do in 2D such as blur).

I know it's tremendously obvious for someone to just say "lmao do more tutz brah" but really it's the only way to learn, the only way to build up your confidence, and it's very rewarding to have a finished render. You might feel like "but I didn't earn this" and you didn't, you should credit the tutorial but once you've learned enough you can go back and improvise.

>>574551
Thank you. I'm currently trying to drag my ass through some fundamentals on Pluralsight but I guess the only way to figure out exactly what I don't know (besides the things I _know_ I don't know which are really for the later stages, like rendering) is to just shut up and watch the tuts.

>>574547
Do one of those challenges where you do one project a day or week or arbitrary time frame. When the time is up, post it to Artstation or wherever and never touch it again, even if you're not happy.
You don't have to post it anywhere obviously but it helps because then you can't really go back.

And basically in most things you spend 80% of the time on 20% of the results, ie focusing on small details that nobody is going to notice. Starting a new thing every time forces you to learn new things.

Also learn actively. Really watch and understand tutorials. Google shit you don't understand. It's useless to follow a tut if in the end you have no clue how you got there. And not doing tuts will have you do the things you know over and over.

>>574349
Best program will be the program you're most confortable with. It's only clay in Blender because you're not familiar with Blender. If you're familiar with no program, learn one.

>>574349
just ask how to import it in blender. Make sure the 3d view port is in texture render mode and that the texture imported.
it wont be rigged if it was ripped from game so you will have to learn to rig it yourself

How can a site like this exist without getting taken down in a fraction of a second?

its not that bad but the character reference youre using looks like a mongoloid from the side

It's ravena, and I agree the side view looks ugly.

if you have to even ask this question you arent ready

Watch all of this.

It's the first time in six years someone mentions lightwave here

Great!

They put so much fucking chromatic aberration and AfterEffects glitches into the demo that you can't see anything of the actual renders accompanied by brain melting EDM.

Brilliant!
