the golden ratio / rule of thirds is some shit theory that doesnt apply to modern graphics ie realtime 3d

The Unreal Engine Kite demo is better at explaining how to design these sorts of things.

This type of 3D work. What program(s)?

I'd imagine it's a combination of a ton of different software in their workflow.

And at higher levels of the 3D industry, it ultimately comes down to whatever the pro is comfortable with. So realistically, it's really anyone's guess what specifically they use.

You'll probably want to look into the following though.

Zbrush
A polymodeller: 3DS Max, or Maya will do fine
Photoshop

And that's just to start. You'll probably want to start looking into rendering engines and shit like that later. And that doesn't even begin to cover additional shit like plugins that no doubt Nintendo uses.

Basically, its a fucking career. You're not going to learn Nintendo level skills for fun on the side.

probably softimage for modeling. that's what seems to be most common in the japanese game industry at least. it's as hard to learn as any other 3d package.

Try deleting the history.

>>508517
Op here. Thanks. It worked. How do you know?

>>508560

Because everything you do in maya creates a node, and the very next operation creates a node on that node.

If you don't delete history, then your mesh is a veeeery long string of nodes and if something goes wrong in only one of them, then shit hits the fan.

Deleting the history brings it back down to one node (The mesh itself).

See ya next semester, Emile.

Do you have a well lit scene? If you're just using a single lamp and World illumination you're not going to get a good result no matter how complex your material

I'd either keep playing with anistropic shader, or look at some Shaders on Blendswap

I'm not sure the lighting is the issue

>>508068
have you tried the Fresnel or Layer Weight node with those glossy nodes? Use them as the factor in a mix node.

I'm not interested in $500 "experiences" like this. This is some weak shit.

>>508493
I didn't realize you had used it

forgot to mention that at first it was okay but i clicked on something then i this happened

Parent constraint them, not just actually parent them.

how bout dis? ????


take 5 mil poly

retopo

UV it

divide it

sculpt on divide

UVs will be the same just more loop cuts


does this work?? :^))))

I'm gonna try to be actually helpful instead of shitposting for once.

So say you started in Sculptris and you made a 5million poly scuplt of your waifu's boobs. With all the little bumps on the nipples and everything. But you need to put this shit in waifu simulator2k4.exe right so you need to bake that shit for like a good 20 minutes. First thing you do is you open up your Blender and and shove that shit in there, and make it all lowpoly reopo. I'd tell you how to do it but I'm not a cromagnon so I don't use that shit. Anyway now you got your 5k waifu titties and they look like shit cause. So you unwrap it like a new sex toy from your boyfriend, normalmapped for your pleasure. Once you got it unwrapped this is where the tricky part happens.

Now you take your original 5m poly model and line it up exactly with your 5k reduced model. You save your low poly model as an OBJ and make sure that it saves the mapping coordinates that you made when unwrapping. You also save out your original highpoly again with the same settings to make sure the two objs match up. Then you pop open xnormal and follow this tutorial http://docs.cryengine.com/display/SDKDOC2/Ambient+Occlusion+and+Normal+map+bake+using+Xnormal

You're welcome anon. I'm high as shit.

Where are you exporting the weighted mesh to and also why are you exporting the weighted mesh?

I'm expoprting the FBX to Unity

interesting. been a game dev long?

>I'm in a hurry right now, will check those links later.
You know, Dobkeratops (red thing on left) is like the trademark boss of the series. R-Type Delta, Final and the PSP games have it in 3D. IDK about ripping it from them, but all the games are emulatable, so you can play them and try to do it yourself. Final and PSP have a model "viewer" option too.
I have some pics of R-90 (from the Third Lightning) for paper-craft and dedicated R-Type pic folder, but it's mostly all ship related, if anyones cares.

Cheers! That would be much appreciated. Though I might not even be doing this so it's not worth going crazy (I need to wait for word from my project lead).
Incidentally, be dazzled by my 3D skills. That's one ship down.

Some youtube tutorials later and I can do really basic teeth/nurbs stuff.
Two down.

change the input controls

>>508456

Polycount is the only other 3d places.

All 3d forums seem to be dead.

>>508407
ZBrush should be your companion to Maya or any 3D modeling software, when it comes to organic modeling.

>>508450
>>508407

Can confirm, am former Mudbox user. Since the very sad (and short) list of new features for Mudbox 2016, I walked away and jumped on the Zbrush train.

It's miles ahead. Warning tough, the interface is aids condensate. Their whole "2.5d" concept as well for that matter.

thanks il try it right away

Theres no 3D in that picture

>>506240
Everything in that picture is 3D.

Film major? You know that you dont need to go to school for that, right? Quentin Tarantino worked at a video store only, and even that wouldnt be neccessary now with the digital age.

You fucked up, and pixar hiring you is probably as likely as pigs flying

>>508447
Yeah, the thing is I already went... so.

still he can work at other things aside from animated cartoons, it def helps when applicating

sorry wrong pic.

I'm not experienced in either of these, but here's my thoughts: NURBS might help you on the modelling side, but eventually the 3D printing software will probably convert it to a mesh of polygons anyway.

>>507852
anyone know how to make shape in this pic? should be quite easy?
