nobody uses it to sculpt. should be a red flag

>>553358

Yes, once you learn it, it's just as capable as zbrush. I use it for Uv's and retopo. Sculpting wise it is great for seams on clothes with the spline tools and the ability to save splines and repeat strokes. It has one major problem tho, scale. It's a nightmare trying to sync it with zbrush and a modeling program. The bigger the mesh in 3d coat the more voxels, so more slowdown. Trying to sync marvelous, zbrush, max, mari is nigh on impossible. You really need to do everything in it for it to be viable.

I love 3D Coat myself. It was much cheaper than zbrush and has a far easier to use interface. I use it all the time. I'm sure zbrush can run circles around it as far as features go but for what I do it does the job just fine.

the best way is what they did in Doom 2016 with mega textures 2.0

to be specific, they use traditional retopology+texturing on modular assets (like those windows).
the exterior is simple as a cube. there are various texturing techniques that can tile bricks and patterns into the texture, or bake from highpoly to lowpoly into a normal map.

for a huge building you might want to duplicate each floor (in engine).
just imagine you have a lego set and you need to combine all the parts to make it fit

>>555965
well, that pic wasn't the best example because that style lends itself to being modular

if I were doing something with a big flat surface, e.g. a giant concrete wall with rust leaks, or a really tall and huge pillar with patterns and moss at the bottom, anything that needs to have a unified texture and doesn't have a tiling-pattern but is too big to put onto a single UV map. how would I do that?

I learnt about Quixel on youtube. My school is free, and I am the president and CEO

What school are you attending? Because all of that was half of the 1st week.

>>558629
Eastern Europe. How many hours did you have per week? 1.5 hours is not much, but it is still going way too slow.

What were your assignments?

Anyway, I'm learning by myself, it's the only way.

This may sound stupid, but have you tried to change the settings before importing your video to the framerate of your vid?

>>558804
How about you use a proper NLE and not Blender?

>>558846
I have. No dice. And part of the issue is that it's literally cutting off about a third of the video. I'm afraid it might have something to do with the way it's being imported, which obviously there's nothing we can do about.

>>558911
Because I'm a poorfag and I can't find anything else that works. Also, I'm trying to do some motion tracking.

>>557812
No the sculpting toolkit is horrible. Get an old copy of Mudbox if you really want to do this.

>>557816
what's the biggest distinction between maya and mudbox's toolset that wouldn't fly over my head?

The basic sculpting tools are pretty much the same now. The differences lie more in the interface and how the programs perform under stress.

First off, mudbox has access to stamps and stencils, which help to quickly add features to a mesh, and also to create different maps to use in other programs. It also has materials that are conducive to showing you more minute surface details under ideal lighting, an essential tool for real-life sculpting that naturally migrated over to sculpting software. These materials are quickly interchangeable with the press of a button, which is very convenient when you want to see how your mesh is turning out.

This is anecdotal to my experience with a pipeline between both softwares: Maya does not handle large poly counts as well as Mudbox does. A scene with anything more than 200k+ polygons can bring Maya to its knees, even on a 1080, while Mudbox will happily chug along past that.

Mudbox's interface is also much cleaner out of the box, more fitting for something you would have in real life: a lazy susan, a few tools and a light, though I think Maya handles image planes more elegantly.

In reality, you wouldn't sculpt anything in Maya. You would block out a base mesh there, take it to Mudbox, wrap up your mesh there and try to retopologize as much as you can, then bring that back to Maya at a sensible poly count. The sculpting tools in Maya are there for slight adjustments post-Mudbox.

Hope this helps you.

Did you seriously consider answer like "No, unfortunately that's one thing our technology cannot do yet. Perhaps Pixar or Google might be able to do it with their computing power, but if you're an ordinary guy then you're pretty much fucked" ? Just get the damn plane, cut it in half and spin it around it's axis, as if you were turning rectangle into a cylinder.

you make the outlines in a 2D like without faces, and use screw modifier in Blender

>>558778
Probably duplicated vertices.
Select everything in edit mode, press space bar, search for "remove doubles".

>>558781
Thanks, it worked.

>box modeling in current year

There's no reason to go into zbrush or mudbox for models like this. The skin is "perfect" enough that subdividing it in those softwares to model in details is almost a zero-sum game. Good-looking hair can easily be done with simple planes and geometric shapes, musculature is almost non-existent, and clothing is very simple to do.

The biggest challenge is making a 2D face look good in 3D. It's by far the most difficult part of these models and the one that'll probably have the highest concentration of polygons in your model. But even then, exporting your model to a sculpting program just for that is complete overkill.

In short, you could sculpt this out, but it's like bringing a flamethrower to kill an ant.

For sure OP, thanks. You gave me new hope for a printer of my own!

iv seen several of posts like these, its just way too much. you won't anyone who does this for a junior pay.
however you can get lucky, good luck. have your email included

>>558228
I'm prepared to pay adequate compensation for a fulltime position.

But I'm primarily looking for suggestions about where to post job offerings like these.

>>558229
You find individuals that demonstrate the skillset you need and make them offers.
This kind of posting doesn't come off as very serious, you know.
Go browse polycount or something.

It's too shitty to deserve its own thread, I'll tell you that.

It's an extruded cylinder, should we be impressed?

>>558543
Why isn't it working for you?

Because the quality of the tutorials is poor, or because you feel like you're "painting by numbers" without understanding what you're doing?

If it's quality, then try some stuff off cgpersia or cgpeers before you buy anything

If "paint by numbers", that's a natural feeling, you're learning you just don't feel it because you haven't learned enough to go from start to finish on your own.
As you keep doing more tutorials and projects, you'll find you're accumulating skills and knowledge, and you can test this by going back to an old tutorial and trying to improvise over it (which, if you've tried now, has likely resulted in minimal success)
