Shilling maybe?

>>501568
Most of his work involves just kit-bashing pre-made mechanical parts, warping their shapes and doing booleans. Not much of what he makes is a usable mesh for anything but static object shots or turntables. He is considered a 3D concept artist these days, so his workflow has adjusted for how fast he has to churn shit out.

Which is why he uses moi3d now, because it's perfect for that kind of workflow.

saw his facebook post right before i came on here

he got them 3d printed

just move your NURBS curves and set keys, butthead

I guess it makes sense. They wouldn't be able to outsource this kind of thing to unskilled koreans if it took any kind of advanced input.

>>501521
like what? Wiggle your ear around? Are you trollin?

>>501223
Nah, dude.

No wireframe, sorry man. Hopefully somebody will fall for it.

i dont like all effects of the bugs of the photo-camera you did

>>501851
learn about UV seams. Use Maya. The new 3D unwrap is just fucking sick, you have to be a complete retard to fail at it now

Is it normal for it to take so long, I have a model that is sub 1000 polys and its taking me hours and hours and hours to finish the UV which ends up not even working very well.

>>501868

it should take 3 seconds

>>501435
your topology sucks

you can easily fix this after you do initial retopology

simply edit this particular vert

Bump

it's either there's a hidden object or your UVs are overlapping

>>501739
Neither the scene is completely clear of objects and the UV's have a huge amount of space between each other.

give up.

>>501618
that was never an option but thanks for the detailed and wise feedback

just to clarify that is a Zbrush model made from a polysphere

front and sideview.
This was basically what I settled with. Now I'm moving on to retopo and build it up the right way so I can eventually rig and animate it.

Would this be work as topology? I'm thinking I put way too many poles in there.
What loops am I missing?

A high end Nvidia GPU will be your primary need, as it accelerates images processing in Photoshop, video in Premiere/AE, and 3D in Maya, Blender, etc...

Arnold isn't GPU accelerated sadly, but there are plenty of other great GPU accelerated raytracers, like Iray (included in 3DS Max and Substance Designer, and integration coming for Maya and other software), LuxRender, VRayRT, Octane, Indigo, Arion, Thea, Redshift, moskitoRender... Arnold is one of the few that hasn't moved to GPU yet, and is kind of overrated.

And don't bother with the workstation cards unless you want to get into very complex CAD work, as that's all they really accelerate these days. Go with a Nvidia Titan X. As for a CPU, you could go with a dual socket 6 or 8 core Intel Xeon.

Then the rest is up to you with whatever money you have left. Preferably a 512GB SSD as well.

>>501337
To be honest, I have been focusing on Arnold lately because it's the easiest way to get photorealistic results with as little setup as possible. But I guess you're right.

Is 64gb of ram overkill, or is 32gb enough?

Also, Nvidia announced their new architecture for next year, where they claim that graphics cards will easily be able to have 12 gigs of vram, instead of the usual 2 or 4, at an affordable price. It's a good idea to wait and see about that, right?

>>501340
If you are willing to wait until around Feb-April, then yes I would absolutely recommend waiting for their Pascal architecture coming up, it's going to be a much larger performance boost than we usually see in new GPU generations. And you'll get more VRAM for your buck.
The Titan X does have 12GB of RAM though, so you wouldn't be terribly off.

As for your system RAM, 32GB is going to cover you for pretty much anything you throw at it unless you're rendering some huge Dreamworks level environment. You can always just get 32GB first, for 4 of your 8 RAM slots, then later pick up another 32GB for fill the other 4 if you feel you could use it.

congrats on discovering the first 3D related meme in the history of the universe.

clearly fake

>>500798
Any generalised program like Blender 3dsmax or Maya etc.

>>500801
right Ive been looking at Maya since its the standard, but after animating the shot do i need to use renderman or vray for the final lighting etc?? lol

Blender, Maya, 3dsmax, etc + Pixar's Renderman.

And why can't you just use Windows?

I cant afford it right now :(

There(pic related) you put in the size.

If you put 2 in the size it will tile 2 times.

>>501243
Is there no way to UV map each poly face to 0-1 UV space like Maya's Unitize function?

>>501244

Dude, just imagine it's a toy.
Facial features are extremely simplified or even not present. Shapes are simple and round.
It's basically a sphere with a few bumps.
Look for manga/anime action figures for reference.

>>500820
Oh, and, most details aren't even modeled. Textures will take care of pupils and eyebrows.

FUCK
