The best solution is photoshop, my favorite solution is photoshop. /thread.

Honorable mention goes to substance, mari and mudbox.

The best solution is the tool or a combination of tools which gives you the best result in a minimal amount of time, and you have fun doing it.
The old school method i use everytime: Photoshop.
Photoshop is the hub, where the layers and elements get assembled.
But for 2d painting on the texture itself i often use Krita. Especially for characters because of the symmetry tool, and for tileable textures because of the tile workflow.
If i want to paint directly on the model i use either Mari for very complex models with UDIMs and high texture resolution, or Substance Painter.
For hard surface tiles, panels, modular pieces i use Substance Designer.
I also create my own substances to use in Painter. Sometimes i consume illegal substances while i design substances with substance designer.
I also use quixel NDO from time to time to convert drawn height maps to normal maps.
I haven't had the time or motivation to learn the DDO drawing workflow.
Maybe i should.
My faverorite workflow is to switch inbetween all these tools and find the best one for the actual job. Or the one my computer handles flawless without hiccup.

Nigga are you for real right now?
Start off with something simpler and smaller, like a hand or a tree log.

But for the most part this looks pretty good (for a firts time). Keep on going.

Don't start with a figure.

Create a skeleton first. Learn how the muscles attach to the skeleton and make an ecorche. This will greatly improve skin sculpts.

You can mod Ocarina of time?
What are the polygon limitations.
What are the texture restrictions.
How do you import models.

no thanks.

>>526739
which software are you using?

No preference at this point. Trying to play around with them all to choose the ones I am most comfortable with.

>>526743
then just do that

>>525657
it's just a photoshopped piece of paper with your name on it.

Just focus on your reel and portfolio. All else doesn't mean shit, except for bragging rights.

you can have as many certificates as you want but that doesnt prove your worth

Some 4 years ago I took 3ds max certificate exam just to see what it is all about. Absolutely worthless. These certificates are designed in a way, so that people who just take a quick course of a program could then take the exam, and feel good about themselves, like they actually know something. In a no way this represent your actual knowledge and capapibilities.

gee, I forgot how fucking horrible the UI of blender looked in the pre 2.5 times.
reminds me of endless frustration.

now shitposters will chime in and say it's still horrible but doesn't matter.

I think it was horrible pre 2.5 and I really like it the way it is now. night and day difference.

>>526698
It can still be much better and it lags behind its contemporaries

>>526698
I remember when everyone was complaining about the new UI. I think I might have been one of those people. :/

5 bucks says it's a mix of AMD and windows 8

Check logs, it should tell you what is requesting what and how much.

blenderswap

the zbrush workflow doesn't acknowledge high and low poly. You work in layers of detail like on a real sculpture.

The "low poly" is the laying of zspheres (if you do that) then you shape out the resulting mesh and then you add detail. If you have a polygon restriction then you'd have to retopologize the end product and reduce its polycount.

>>526722
yes

This >>526733 Op.

layer a few meshes with transparency

Blender cloth physics are kinda slow and glitchy af. You can do what you're talknig about with marvelous designer. Go find a copy and dick around with it. When you compare that to blender, blender's cloth system wont even be worth the time anymore.

I guess you're still using Netscape too

What the hell were you "testing" yourself on? Be more specific. I don't feel like giving advice you're not going to follow because you weren't ``focusing" on it.

If it was the ability to make a wheel, you definitely failed.

>>526659
I was testing my how I can model. I only started 2 weeks ago. Now how can I fix my failed wheel chair model?

>>526656

It looks like it's floating can we see the reference.
