yes

I don't get it. Are you hoping it will catch on and become a meme like ratboy genius or something, so you can become a youtube hero?

>I think it would be better to make hard eges instead of adding support loops because of lower poly count.

That's correct. I almost always end up doing multiple bakes, adding/remiving hard edges as I go. I usually start by hardening any edge that's getting a sharp bevel in the highpoly mesh. Makes it less work for the normalmap and less errors as a result. So far it always turned out pretty clean.

>>513649
Oh, and make sure you're using a cage, too, otherwise you'll get ugly artifacts along every hard edge.

well the pixel density of the environment textures is lower than everything else, and the heavy handed depth of field is not covering it up.

The grass tufts next to the fire pit are super blurry while the bricks are crisp. Mr. Bald is so in focus he looks photoshopped and everything immediately around him is so out of focus it looks like it's all a million miles away. That is to say, everything that's blurry looks like it is all the exact same extreme distance away when surely come of it should be in focus. Especially if I can make out the texture of Mr. Bald's jeans.

tnx ill try to fix that depth

Who the fuck builds a place like this in the middle of nowhere like this.
The size of everything makes the building look like a shack. Granted, it is kind of a shack, but something about the scale feels way off. Like the people are too small, and the building needs to be bigger. I can't really put my finger on it.

Also, fix your fucking "O" in "Hostel", that shit is triggering my ocd so hard. It's so stretched and distorted compared to the other letters, and it has some sort of effect/bevel on it that the others don't.

On that note instead of making a new thread for a similar question:

Is there something like what he/she is asking but for Blender? Or perhaps examples how to do motion capture for facial expressions...

>>513756
mate, this is dead easy. You create a series of blendshapes which cover diferent areas of the face. Then, you have a motion capture rig with dots for markers on the face. The movement of the dots drive the blendshapes

>>513759
>dead simple
>vague explanation of the idea behind the rig

Does the movement of the dots just magically drive the blend shapes?

Your geometry is fucked for heatmap skinning. Skin with a different method.

damm, thk man

A nice Intel chip would definitely speed things up, but the way things are going future-wise, you should probably look into GPU rendering instead. Did you even try running this scene in VRay RT on your current card?
In terms of rendering power per $, a 980 Ti or Titan X would be considerably faster than similarly priced CPUs, and you wouldn't have to change your CPU/mobo/RAM.

I've kinda shied away from RT just because progressive rendering scares me, but I'll look into it. I'll definitely be doing some upgrading around April or so, and GPU will certainly be top of the list.

>>513812
you have non-matching ram mate.

Also, you see better looking scenes in even realtime games like The Order or Killzone 4.I mean, you dont even have transparency in the scene and you don't even have correct gamma. Even unreal engine demo scenes like Kite are far more advanced than this, and render at 30fps. You are a noob

shot in the dark, but the nvidia driver from last week has been known to mess with mayas viewport. you could try a rollback if youre using an nvidia gpu

Lol, who wants their game to be well optimized anyway?

shit, nice tutorial, danka fuckers

These are harder to print than just plain 3D objects
Generally, to do this you'll need a dual-head extruder that prints out support structure that can melt away when done.

>>513797
i dont care about the printing difficulty, i need to create those tessellations

Tenacity is more important than talent when it comes to making money. The people who make it aren't the best of the best, they're the ones who didn't give up before succeeding.

It can be lucrative, before your shit is pirated. This is where for those who brag about not buying software where it comes back around to bite you in the ass.

You should be able to select it in the outliner. It's hard to say without having the file.

Go into the outliner and select whatever mesh you are trying to edit. Then go: Attribute editor>object's mesh tab>object display>Drawing Overrides>Display type. Change it into normal instead of reference.

yep, that's letting me select what I want but it's not letting me ghost like I have in the past with simple geometry.
