Technically yes. But I'm an architect so my cg creations that I print are mostly stairs and facade elements and nothing fancy.

3D printing has sped up building of physical models quite a bit tho. I'd also like to own a resin printer but the shit is still to expensive for me compared to fdm.

>>547997

Can't you write it off as a business expense? Lease it + write off = barely costs anything

Just make sure you print a couple exquisitely detailed resin staircases for clients.

>>548008
I could, put we're not building many models these days anymore anyway.
It's not really worth it for me.
Also we're mostly building large furniture and hardware stores so it's not like we need the fine details resin printers offer either...

I own one and it's awesome. You can get a used one for a good price on eBay. But it doesn't work in zbrush.

I have one, plugins aren't the best and it's mostly for camera movement, it's now in a box under my bed untouched in years

i have one, but use it exclusively in 3D Coat for sculpting. for modeling a normal mouse feels more natural for me personally

>>547998
two possible reasons I can guess

1: to study, reverse-engineer them, or use them in noncommercial work (which is still unethical but whatever)

2. they are being sold by pajeet and vitaliy who do not care about copyright laws

thats the very definition of ethical comrade. The law only covers commercial works.

actually looks like a good set of things to know. Will definitely watch it, cheers bro

>>547645
model it bit by bit and keep them separate objects just like in the real world and have good topology and edge loops so when you turbo smooth it it will hold its shape

no such thing as entry level position in 3D

Bro idfk, it's been 4 months since I've graduated, and I still haven't picked up a job in animation

>>545988
yeah i am looking at job listings and its mostly 5+ years of experience in the industry


..hmmm

You want to export the 3d model as an .Object to Photoshop... Why? Just render it out. If you want to render larger, pirate a softwere, not like your going to be doing anything cometial anytime soon. If your against that, try keyshot trial, exporting animation is annoying but it's a good render program.

More anatomy

First time modelling a face?

The big thing is to use references. First time I did a head I propped a mirror up on my desk and modeled myself. (pic related)

Compare the proportions on your model to your own head. Feel with your hands and you'll know right away what's off - the nose bridge is about 500% too wide, the jaw doesn't smoothly transition into the back of the skull, the eyes shouldn't be that recessed, etc.

Also forget about hair until you're done the rest of the head. Right now you're probably substituting hair for anatomy and that's no good.

Every faces has the same planes just a different shape. They should have all the planes though, pic rated.

You should look up a series called Lexx. It really ran with that idea.

Which is it? Insect anatomy or architecture (buildings)? Or did you mean real world aerospace engineering considerations?

Because in the real world space ships are going to be boxes (for the humans and storage inside) with rounded exteriors (to deflect radiation and make them hard to spot) with some kind of rear propulsion system, some kind of forward breaking system, and covered in maneuvering thrusters in 360 degrees, so the end result is going to be some kind of polyhedron / icosphere.

Also there will be a drone by because almost everything you'll do in space will be done via drones rather than actually have people go on EVAs

>>547929
*drone bay, with some kind of mechanism to push them out (they won't just fall out of the space ship on their own like in anime)

Also the drones themselves will follow the same design concepts, with accommodations made for their role

Sorry I have no idea, I only use blender haha

>>547889
Okay.

I wouldn't use box uv unwrap on such a complicated geometry object. It looks like some UV issue there. Try to make propper UVs for that model.

>>542760
If modelling, animating, raw rendering is one half of it, the other half would be compositing and post-processing. It's totally worth learning.

>>542761
lets say that hypothetically you could render 10x faster than you currently do if you upgrade to a gtx 1080 and new i7 and just do everything in frame. Would compositing still be worth as much

>>542762
Whats compositing got to do with your specs ? You can't do professional post-processing with your render engine.

fuck off, Max is a SJW engine

>>547834
yes, max is the way to go since 2014. Don't listen to /3/

Yes you will, you just got to WORK FOR IT

WHAT ARE YOU DOING, YOU COULD BE GETTING BETTER RIGHT NOW, JUST DO IT
STOP PITYING YOURSELF AND JUST DO IT

FUCK

Don't worry, even if you got gud, you'd still be poor.

Just abandon 3d.

>>547851
Looks great, I would suggest maybe adding some more abrasions/scratches into either your microsurface or your normals to help give your materials a more realistic look. Looking at "new" metallic materials one of their most defining wear is these little scratches breaking up the specular highlights.

>>547860
Thanks, will definitely keep this in mind for my next projects.

>>547851
It's good on a technical level, I think the color choices make for a boring composition (grey on grey)

Maybe use a nicer HDRI next time, in this case probably something with a lot of blue, to make the metal parts "pop"

You should always strive to make a visually interesting image via good composition any time you're showing something to other people.
There's no good reason not to have your work be shown in the best possible light (figuratively and literally)

Video related is from a faggot but he speaks the truth and you don't need to be a blenderfag to appreciate the truth:
