Yes,now try to actually use the model.
oh wait you cant because 5 billion polygons and mesh holes.

>>564140
It's still unbelievable, though.

>>564140
What do you mean mesh holes, anon? Looks consistent to me. And there must be a way to reduce polygons using topology or something.

I saw the models for this show have solid sculpted hair. How do they get it to look like this? Is it all normal maps?

Where can I find some tutorials on creating realistic shaders with Arnold and 3DS Max? Please, I'm desperate, last 2 weeks were wasted. If there is something good on CGPeers, tell me, but I can't find anything.

>>564029
thats not just solid. I see hair strands that means hair sim.

The trick to getting hair shading on solid meshes is Anisotropic shading

Fractals are never easy if you want a result that looks even half decent. You're gona have to buckle down and experiment till you know what you're doing.

By "fractals" you really need "procedural generators". Recently I came across this tool:
http://oblige.sourceforge.net/
It generates Doom maps of surprising quality. It's written in Lua and C++ and you should study it.

>>566877
it generates noise

>>566558
There is non. You should have thought about that.

Is he shirt less? Why attach?

>>566558
Just export to sketchup connect it in like two seconds with some easy line drawing then export back

fuck off you scrub.

>>566795
No need for games friend: >>565962

>>566505

no, nobody's tried it.

Nice AD

maybe your render times are like that because you are using kerkythea?
have you tried thea?

>>566778
There's no doubt your a shill, but render farms have there use and Amazon is going to take over the world anyway so could be worth it

>>566600
First of all, this isn't twitter so please write full and complete sentences you fucking newfag piece of shit.
Second, it's a retarded gun but Fallout (and indeed the real world) is full of retarded guns. Whether you did a good job in terms of being on-model (making it look like the source material) I have no idea but probably.
You could improve the design from the original for functionality purposes, but you'd need to be a hardcore gunfag for that and that'd be a bit of a different kind of exercise.
As for what renderer to use, that doesn't really matter at all only your skill with that renderer matters. Some rendering engines are easier to use by virtue of having more default settings (aka "it just werks") and default materials or a large library of good looking materials "out of the box".
What your model lacks is detail. Wear and tear, scratches, a nicer HDRI and general lighting setup would help, also maybe a little composition (the composition isn't bad but it's simple to the point of being basic).

Right now your gun looks like it's made from aluminum or sheet metal or something (as opposed to gun metal), it looks very much like mounting brackets for an IKEA shelf or something like that. The shotgun fore-end looks really bad, there's not much detail and what detail is there in the wood grain is washed out entirely by reflections. It doesn't look like you used Normal mapping at all (or micro-displacements or any other tricks of that nature).
I assume the holes all over the barrel are where you haven't added screws or pins or whatever? If that's just a detail in the original then it doesn't look too good, like it's not visually interesting detail but if that's what's in the source material then you're stuck but you can still add wear and tear.

Third, as for whether or not you should "pursue 3d direction", no I think you should kill yourself for not posting in the WIP thread.

>>566609
Thanks, appreciate your feedback. I'll just smash my head on the table than.

Wear&tear is something which is not that easy to accomplish in PhotoView. I will have to export to v-ray then.

>>566600
The model seems okay, your materials and lighting are abysmal.

Switching to a better renderer would help a ton, but keep in mind you also need a good IBL, lighting setup, and know how to set up your materials in a way that isn't crappy.

Judging by your range of values I'm guessing you're not using linear workflow as well?

>>565359
You will never be able to reverse engineer software to its original state, just to assembly lists. Though I know it's possible to extract sound and 3d files from a compiled game on your drive. I don't know how though, I'm a programmer, I can't hack stuff like that. JewTube will probably tell you.

You will never get the .unitypackage, or .cs files though.

Ninja ripper maybe?

>>565732
This is one way to get the files yeah

>>565359
How did it go?

>>566666
Not bad yeah, but look at this not-scripted dubs!

>>566666
Oh man you've won the lottery

I would get more monitors not a replacement, and I wouldn't make the jump to 4k in the interest in screen space but that's just me

>>565970
You can get a 40" 4K monitor, there are a whole bunch available now, there's one from Philips and the Wasabi Mango.

at this size the scaling is the same as a regular 1440p display, so you can still see stuff normally, just expanded over a massive area.

Otherwise I'd suggest either a 34" 3840x1440p ultrawide or two 1440p displays side by side.

Glorious 4K flanked by a pair of 1200p masterrace

So what happened to that Kickstarter anyway? Did it get funded? The Goon looks cool as hell!

And yeah, I would love to use 3D to make comics but most systems like clothing, hair, physics would have to be mostly automatic or it's just plain easier to just drawn what you need.

>>566669
>So what happened to that Kickstarter anyway? Did it get funded?
Fincher was begging for enough money to pay 2 actors to read their lines for a rough cut. He's one of the biggest overspenders in Hollywood, destroyed Orion Studios because he insisted on name casting a project that didn't break even until DVD releases years later, and thinks the sun shines out his asshole.

He also made a trailer that still looks like it's for a video game not a movie (and I'd play the fuck out of that game).

3D in comics is shame on par with Greg Land tracing porn. The artists who do it aren't modelers, they're Poser/DS faggots trying to do multiple books for more cash.

>>566620
yes i know a good R18 crack.

>>566646
hmu homie i need those fucking film shaders

>>566620
no

places like upwork are not good because you are literally no visibility unless you pay for premium account ( i think)
but there is another strategy that works for me.
if you make sweet game models then target indie game forum
if you good with organics try to make lewds, just go around hentai/fetishi websites and do a little scouting.
if you are really good with renders then i say its your best way to get a 9-5 job since the archviz market is the only one where you have jobs locally

>>566528
i really want to make lewds and porn for a living but i live in a very conservative house. I have a full time non 3d job and amnt neet, but the cost of living is too high in this area. Wat do?

>>566528
>good with organics
I get overly picky about my topology.
Like, I can't even decide how to connect a leg to the torso, because I hate how the edge loops turn out.

you are asking alot
but either way you can do it in xnormal, which is free.
or you can make custom shaders based on you need like so.
http://www.reynantemartinez.com/how-to-generate-texture-maps-from-a-single-image.html

>>566588
Yeah, I know, but I tend to work with lots of other people's models, often just for fun, and it's just not feasible time-wise to make textures for everything one-by-one. It's certainly asking a lot but I'm willing to code stuff myself if there's existing open knowledge on the subject.

To which point, thanks for the link, from the URL it sounds like it's in the direction of what I need.

>>566595
actually you know what, i know that blender is open source and it can convert greyscale maps to normal. but i don't think its the same thing. if you take 4 colors and convert them to other 4 colors its not exactly a "smart converstion"
anyway, xnormal allows you to make several maps in advance so you don't have to click save all the time like crazy map.
if you are familiar with gimp there is a an addon called insane bump which i hear is good. and GIMP is open source too so it might be your chance to dig in. (its not 3D based converter but its a converter none the less)
