Go for it. Seemingly the best budget-performance card right now with much more power and efficiency than the 900 series.

It requires a lot of work, a lot of work, that's it.

By practice animation and rigging until you get good at it. There is no shortcut to putting in the hours, as in thousands of hours.
What u see in that clip look like classic handmade keyframe animation of bone rigs with common IK features.

Basically the stuff that is on offer out of the box in max and maya, or blender for that matter, With no additional tools needed.
Just difficult to obtain skill you yourself need to bring to the table.

time, experience, dedication, and most importantly a really good team.

and team part is not just for specilization and more work force.

to make a cohersive (both estheticly, tempo-wise, well directed, technically efficient and proficient) animation you need a team that keeps each other in check and capable.

There are some tools for Maya where you select the facial lines like eyelids, mouth edges and most facial lines that crease and fold when you move your muscles, but they always require a similar amount of extra work to get it looking decent.
So it's much better and safer if you just learn the manual way and do it all by hand.

I dont know about any auto-rig for facial rigging, but a one click solution for blend shape probably dosent exist and even if it did It'll give results ranging from terrible to unusable.

Whatever it is it must capture the essence of /3/ness. Such as it's 'slowness', 'twilight of death status', 'boob rigging' and 'elements of random anthropomorphic bestiality'.

I propose /3/: '3DCG & Areola slug buggery phantoms'.

"Needs anatomy".

'Smoke and Mirrors'
coz all we do is fake cgi things that evokes real emotions

get a midrange GPU with high end CPU and 16 gb RAM

>>525712

Any modern cpu will do. The GTX 1070 has a great performance price ratio, going to get one myself. 32gb ram. SSD's are great if you can get a high capacity one. Under 1tb is not worth it because you get low memory errors.

Anything modern is fine as said already.
I'd suggest spending most of your money/research on the display. High res and rich color. I can't suggest anything as I'm still looking for one myself.

I would kick you out if you tried to get a job at my company if this is the best you can do.

What if I was an apprentice?

Looks like absolute shit.

Check out Mischief, Anon.

There is a free lite version, but the full version cost only 25 bucks.

Why not just create an action in photoshop to create a new background layer, lock it, then a new blank layer to draw on, and group them, then hotkey it.

What a shill vibe those posts gave.

i want to get into the forums, that looks like mission imposible.

Just registered and downloaded a few torrents.

However, it has not counted my downloaded MBs... is it because of that FreeLeech?

>>526222
stay away from torrents, they can get you for copyright shit because you actually upload their data, download from one click hoster and stay on the safe side.

>>526278

Did you make phong breaks / smoothing groups before importing to Substance Painter? That might be why.

>>526278
curvature maps are based on uvs. Check your uvs

>>526525
That was the problem. Thank you a lot, anon.

why and even and bother

Remember when voxels didn't mean cubes?

>>525633
voxels are cubes by definition. Though you don't have to *render* them as cubes.

Well great job, Maya, it's hard at first but once you get to know it it's one of the easiest 3d software you can use

>>524251
Ditch the name

>>524252

I've heard good things about every aspect of Maya, except for modeling.

Yeah, I haven't found good tutorials for blender for a streamlined way to create large backgroun envrionments like this one here I created.I now know how to do large mountainy forests, but I don't know how to do fields, rocky things, other shit without it looking like shit. I'm interested in blender.

>>523902
I was searching for inner sharp corner adjusted to smooth surface topology tutorial for hard surface modeling

>>523914
why would you do that in blender

>>525956
yeah, auto-rig are a really useful tool.

As you work your way through learning advanced setups you'll notice recurring control patterns (FK/IK switch, noodle limbs, zippers and so on) that require a bunch of extra control bones and, at the same time, you can set up very mechanically by following recipes, ie it's always duplicate those bones, place a bone at the root of each other bone and so on, that can really take ages to set up.

So long term it's well worth automatizing them since that'll save you tons of menial work. There's other benefits too due to how it standardizes rigs including controls and bone names, making it really easy to map poses and animations from one character to the other or how animators will have consistent controls to work with at all times.

It's used in movie studios, yes. There's a siggraph paper somewhere about Disney's modular auto-rigging system though I can't find it right now.

the vast vast vast majority of people using auto rigs they download and dont write themselves dont understand 3d well enough to produce anything thats worth looking at for more than 10 seconds

if you dont write your own tools you have a 99.999% chance of being bad at this

>>525963
Well put. On a side note, this is where computer science and art comes together, and there are plenty of technical art jobs in the industry (at least here in LA) just looking for people who enjoy aspects like scripting and speeding up workflow through proprietary tools.

>>524042
bump? I really need this

>>524042

Bulk of people will use the native UV unwrapper of their software. You really should look into fixing your max install, max's uv tools are pretty good.
