looks unfinshied but overall decent

No one can really critique it without knowing exactly what it is supposed to be, what it is going to be used for and without seeing the topology.

It's lacking in surface details and the edges of the main shape (handle to magazine) look too square, it's width being so uniform makes it look unnatural.
I'm not buying the trigger at all.

here is a candle stand im working on in substance
had to mess around with uv's abit
im debating if i should remove the height or its ok for now

>>521362
Is it a game asset? It would be nice if the arms of the candelabra had more edge loops

Maybe bake a bevel into the candles, and bake in some details / normal map stuff so they look different (even if they're all fresh new candles)

Something seems off on the proportions, would def. compare it to some reference images (that said, pretty sure you can find a candelabra in any shape and size you want).

>>521362
I think you need a darker roughness value overall. A quick google image search shows that most of these are pretty shiny. If it's meant to be dirtier, then you should get a lot more variation into the roughness so it seems like grunge.

>>521401
The fences are looking pretty good. It's weird to me how the color balance of the verticals is so different, though. I get that you want them to stand out but it's too much imo. There are also a couple darker boards that look out of place. Are there ladders that have round verticals and rectangular horizontals like that? Something about the design or scale of it looks strange to me. Anyways, I think overall you could introduce more breakup into the noisiness of the surfaces.

>>521499
Try hiding her scarf. I bet her head/neck will seem disproportionate. What's the overall design? I feel like the face doesn't quite fit but I can't tell with only seeing this section. The upper lip area feels very sharp and I would introduce more softness to it. The bottom of the chin as well doesn't feel fleshy enough, like just the chin bone is sticking out and the fat isn't there (she looks chubby enough that it looks incorrect to me). The model seems pretty stylized... so perhaps slightly larger eyes would help.

>>524508
Make a basic model with Makehuman, modify in mudbox/zbrush or whatever you use, rig in blender.
Boom, a human

>>524509
What advantages are there to using zbrush instead of blender?

>>524512
Blender is shit and zBrush isn't.

>>524514>>524512
Blender is a voxel modeling and animation (but also game engine for some reason) program.
zBrush and Mudbox are sculpting tools. They're better for adding small details to templates/models made in Blender.

>>524474
Mice MiG-21.
Apart from the canopy and Rudder it looks mostly good. The nosecone looks a weirdly warped in the first view. It's also missing the tail fin on the bottom. Are you gonna model control surfaces and landing gear?

>>524515
But blender has sculpting tools, are the others really that much better?

>>524519
The point of Blender is animation and modeling. That's it. Sculpting tools are there to make Blander complete, but Zbrush and Mudbox are made specifically for sculpting, so they're much better.

>>524495
Lack of, actually, the tail is filled with triangles and it's screwing up the shading. I have to redo it, I'll post a wireframe tomorrow
>>524516
Dont mind the nosecone, its following the blueprint. Its just ortho view. Forgot about the fin thingy, and after I finalize everything you see in >>524474, I'll cutout the control surfaces, airbrakes and gear doors, then the actual gears. Then Ill finish the rest of the details, add some missiles and rocket pods.

If anyone has advice on modeling for simulators, it'd be extremely helpful.

I think some 3d anime type styles paint on 2d eyes on a plane. If not they all seem to make the eyes more naturalistic in shape because what people draw in 2d doesn't make sense construction wise in 3d.

As for hair here are a lot of ways to do that, maybe pic related is what you're looking for.

Horns are a little skinny in your model too, in the drawing they're chunkier and more appealing IMO

hope I could help

>>525726
It's blobby and lacks the proper form in her clothing especially compared to the concept
Biggest offender being her dress and shoes
Her face also looks nothing like the concept, and her general proportions looks more like western comic proportions than anime proportions

>>525728
>I think some 3d anime type styles paint on 2d eyes on a plane. If not they all seem to make the eyes more naturalistic in shape because what people draw in 2d doesn't make sense construction wise in 3d.

Not necessarily actually, there are plenty of 3D models out there with an anime aesthetic which looks appealing from multiple angles
The artist just needs to be careful and observant

Hey, same guy who posted >>524474 and >>525760
There's not much 'resources' for modeling aircrafts, people told me it comes with experience. I'd look at wireframes, figure out how they make small parts, decide how much and how little detail to use. It also depends on the use. Flight sims require tons of detail for today's standards while keeping poly count around 50-60k tris for external models and 80-90k for cockpit models. If it's for film use you don't really need that much detail so you could get away with subdividing and baking normal maps to get smooth shading, and using tons of tris. Sim models must be smooth without NMs, so skinners have their jobs easier. Also make sure you have good blueprints. Start out doing something small like a Cessna and work your way up.
This guy has some decent tutorials for getting the general shape of planes:

probably an odd request but, i'm making a DOOM mod and i'm modelling some weapons.
i want the weapon renders to look like some 90's styled ones, something like this:
http://www.espacoinf.com/tela9.jpg

but i can't seem to replicate the same style.

do you have some suggestions about how can i replicate it?

for example the render i made uses only blinn and an ambient light, but it looks too plain, not even 90's renders were like that.

>>526825
you can make a pretty simple 3d model and then render animations to sprite sheets tho get authentic 2d. Early 3d looks shitty

do some low res texture work on the guns it will add variation.

If you want to go even further render in 8 bit color for true 90's authenticity

/k/ here.
If your company has bullets that are that shiny and that color, they're moly coating their 9mm which makes no sense. However if for some reason they are only coating advertise that on the box.

Unless they are anodized (which would be absolutely retarded for a company to do) then the cases aren't steel, but they seem to be too dark to be brass. Lighten them up if brass, take out some brown. If steel, make medium-light grey, and matte. Make the actual bullet copper colored or darker and more matte. Make the bullets themselves less round. Also my screen is making it hard to tell but your rims look rounded a bit where the extractor would catch them. They should be a strict 90°. Also your cases look short and fat. Take a look at the cartridge specs for 9mm Parabellum: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/41/9x19mm_Parabellum.svg/2000px-9x19mm_Parabellum.svg.png

Your mags need feed lips, and different guns take different mags. So choose a mag and base your lips off of that. Just remember, there is also double vs single stack, and that will affect a lot of the dimensions of your mag. Also every mag will have a base plate, add those.

Good luck.

Here's one example.

This should applies to all of the faces.

>>527486
mobile assets often don't have face topology, it completely depends on the purpose

>>527487
Actually, mobile assets does have topology, especially on the face, but they often cut corners for optimization.

>>527494
it might blow your mind but face topology differs depending on purpose.
when i say mobile assets i don't mean all of them but none main chars usually are not face rigged

>>527496
Pretty much, mostly because they can easily cheese it with texture animations.

>>527501
So is it ok?

>>527567
yeah

>>527423
>for a game

Way too high poly in my opinion, a lot of the polys don't do anything, and the general form can be achieved with much less

As the other anon said, topology, judging by the later posts you're not going to deform it, which if fine; biggest and most obvious problem however are the n-gons that seem to come from deleted edges for no reason at all

If you're going to animated the mouth, good luck with that
You're going to have an obvious intersection point between the ears and head, it might look weird, good luck with circumventing that (unless you're just going to use a toon shader)

How close will you see this character? Because unless you're going to zoom into the face THAT close, that's seriously too high poly
But of course, modern tech can definitely handle that poly density just fine, but the main problem being that it's high poly for no reason at all, the model is just simply unoptimized by all meaning of the word

Cartoony comes from stylization and exaggeration of proportions

Anatomically incorrect =/= Cartoony

If the proportions are about the same, and has no distinct of visual style which breaks it from a regular anatomical structure, then how is it cartoony?

>>527668
Looks good so far, but I think topologically I'd expand the eye loop
Occasionally when you have compact eyeloops like that, it's makes your blinking eye look weird, which, unless you're using toon shader, is a problem

>>527728

>>527734

Of what?
The thing is there is no information of what it's even supposed to be, aside from "cartoony", which it fails to be amazingly.

Look, I know /3/ isn't /ic/, I can't expect you all to know character design, but I can expect to see some semblance to a description, so again, how is this cartoony? What exactly did you expect me to critique when there's nothing except excuses to the lack of style and anatomy?
I can't say it's anatomically incorrect because "it's cartoony"
Now, I can't even critique on it being 'cartoony' because apparently cartoony is such a term that apparently anatomical mutations without a modicum of stylization counts now

At the end of the day, you can tell yourself it's all good, good job, it's super cartoony
But the general design lacks anything to discuss since it's only met with denial and any attempt at getting more information or explanation is useless

Ergo,

your model is fine, if you actually took reference from other anime models i don't see a problem

but as with most people that model anime you might not have the proper skills to make a character from scratch let alot shade it properly

the plastic/glass material looks too transparent and the speculars are too soft.
glass/plastic is way too thick, text should be a normal map or a very small extrusion.
metal cap isn't reflective enough; it looks like velvet or something.
the liquid inside is too black; coke is like a dark burgundy.

Decrease hardness and specularity, just make it matte so we can see the actual curves. Also, show more angles.

I'm pretty sure you're a retard because you can't follow 4chan's reply format and probably thought I was talking about >>527668, when I was talking about >>527652, which you'd have to be braindead to think it was anime styled

>>527811

Can you atleast tell me what is it supposed to be? Is it going to be naked? Is this Green Man? Because if I have atleast an idea of what it's suppose to be then planning the damn thing isn't a guessing game
I was trying to help your initial form because good luck fixing that after rigging, but ok, let's go with your current style and ignore my critique entirely
So your face (if any) is going to be a texture, because there's no topology, that means you'll need to animate the textures itself (unless you're going for separate geometry)

cont.

>>527811

It's going to be hard with a model that high poly
Topo will be harder to fix because it's already subdivided, just read the sticky because I can't fit all of the basics here (elbow and knees topology being your first priority now)

Things to note that may not be in the sticky,
Fix the messy horizontal edges on the legs, keep them as parallel to the leg orientation or XZ plane as possible,
Fix odd poly saturations in certain areas, the most problematic that I can see is the excessive amount of hip loops which WILL fuck you up, so try to keep it uniform and as square (proportion wise per poly) through-out the model, these both will help a lot during the skin weights because it will distribute the influences easier
2D faces, which I can't help (yet) because I have no idea what the hell is your intention

So all in all, I have been trying to help you, but the lack of information makes it pretty fucking hard and you're literally only getting any real critique from me

Thanks! means a lot to me. I made the most out of my 3D design course in uni, I think.
You have to have some short of 3D muscle that I found awesome to exercise. I'll keep doing 3D design, maybe move into artistic stuff.


PD:Another shitty render

>>528009
If you wanna move into artistic 3D stuff, I say go for it anon
But just remember that you're basically going to need to learn new software and general 3D workflow if you do, which is different compared to CAD suites like CATIA, AutoCAD or Fusion

But basically if you do want to render that bike nicely, you'll need to learn the following:

>Using a General 3D Prod. software (Personally I use Maya)
>Modelling/Topology/Retopology
>UV Unwrapping
>Texturing
>Rendering

It took me about a year's worth of classes to get the hang of it until I can output something decent, and I'm still learning
Do note however, it's not hard, just time consuming to understand the workflow enough for good results

as a blockout it works
but you should now modify, just move around the forms to match the concept more without worrying around any topology, distortion or anything even clipping polies, just dont worry about breaking everything as long as you get the forms matched
then replace each part once again, by a new one
might be a lot of work, but it will be worth it

Have you by chance used Solidworks as well? If so, since they're both parametric, could you give me a quick rundown as to the differences between them?

>>528025

Is he on benzos?

>>528032
I have never used Solidworks, over the next semester I'll be learning it so don't take now my word for it.
What it's often said is that CATIA is much powerful for design and crazy GSD shapes. It's much less user friendly and you'll have to wrestle it, it's a lot better for finite element stuff (tho don't ever think of doing serious finite element on either of them).
Solidworks has a generally better workflow for machine design than the modules "Assembly Design" and "DMU Kinematics" from CATIA.
For more basic shapes and fewer parameters you can get away with solidworks and it's alright (keep in mind I basic cause it's not a aeronautical profile or something like that).

The lads at Dassault differentiated them with the machine design in mind, so that's what you need to look at when deciding to use one or the other (and keeping in mind that SW is more user friendly and a bit less of a torture). You can keep importing stuff from one to the other no problem.

thanks, this is actually useful information
i have a early low poly version, i'll try starting over from that

You need to sort out your smoothing groups anon. Unless these are without normal maps?

>>528052

Good job. What's the topology look like?

For me, I'd put this into zbrush and then bake some normals.

>>528052
first person view weapons should be something like 10k polys with highly detailed normal and diffuse maps
however you can get away with lowpoly and great textures like this

https://sketchfab.com/models/3b4b7bceedf942da95c2f22df37fc76a

>>528070
that would be good in 3rd person but in first, the silhouette is blocky and too many details are made with normals

>>528075
diffuse only means no normal
this is state of the art mobile asset

also i don't recommend texturing weapons if you don't have at least quixel

For your creep, it shows that you have a background in anatomy but you're not 100% familiar yet with a 3D sculpting package.

Also, why the super glossy material.

>>528268
yeah, it was all pretty much done with the move and the clay tubes tools. I knew right off from the bat that I would struggle with clear geometric shapes, so I made something more organic to better hide my crimes. But I´m looking forward to learn other stuff regarding 3D sculpting. I find Zbrush very beginner friendly, so I can´t wait to find the time aside from my drawings to study it further.
as for the glossy material, dunno, just looked cool I guess.

also thanks for the link man

>>528271
use matcap materials anon they will highlight forms and make it easier to see, also check out the dam standard brush, clip curve, pinch and hPolish those are pretty standard.

In terms of anatomy you didn't do the armpits right. The neck doesn't have muscles in the right place overall it's lumpy looking but that's just because you need to learn the software.

Not a bad start, looks pretty nice. If you're intentionally going for the low-poly look, that's okay, but if not, there's a Smooth modifier on the left panel near the top when you're in Object mode.

Do you have any prior modelling experience? This looks really good for a beginner.

I just kept adding more and more characters starting by frisk, and It was so fun I just kept going

>>528275
>>528275
I appreciate the input anon.
Yeah, I had a lot of problems with the neck. I made both the head and the neck out of the same ball, so when I stretched it, I lost polygons(forgive me if I'm using these terms wrong), but the grid was all stretched out and I couldn't model it well at all, It's like I just ran out of surface.
As for the armpits, in the middle of the project I figured I would make it look more like a real sculpture, so I just blended the inbetween parts to look as it was made from one solid piece of stone.

>>528278
oh don't be like that, I probably just got lucky a bit, that's all.

>>528285
that's why you need to learn how to use dynamesh. It re-projects polygons so that you dont "run out of surface" that should be #1 on your to do list

Should say first, I'm a self taught modeler and I never really read any tutorials, just messed around with buttons in what ever program I could find. Been doing it on and off for about 5 years. I make models for the purpose of turning them into papercraft/pepakura creations (hence the low poly count)

My first "proper" model and probably my most popular and well known/well stolen without crediting me.
I really had no clue what I was doing in a 3D modeling sense, but I've got a natural talent for feeling out how models will turn out when made in paper.

Kind of noob in Zbrush, usually use it to alter organic models for other purposes. This is the first thing I do from scratch that I like.

It's still a w.i.p., I know some things need sharper details and that the anatomy doesn't make much sense (although I'm aiming for something alien/monstruous I'm not liking the muscle thing from the chest to the ear)

Any tips, specially about sharper details, are welcome

Thanks for the feedback! I didn't pay much attention to the shoulder yet but I'll look into it.

I kind of like the back even though it doesn't make much sense, I'll see if I use the shape as a base for something else. The neck thing I'm definitly changing soon, it's kind of creepy in a bad way

Yeah I'm kind of addicted to smoothing. I don't know if I should be using more geometry or if it's because I sculpt with the mouse, but every stroke seems to make the model so rough, even with lower intensity and a smooth alpha

>>528613
try to get a drawing tablet, there's no problem using the mouse, you can get awesome results too, the only thing is that you will lose time switching brush sizes, opacity, etc.
and about the geometry, are you using dynamesh?

>>528615

Yes, I use dynamesh, specially in the beginning when I'm still defining the forms. But to be honest I don't know when is the best time to stop with the dynamesh to keep the lower subdivision levels in case I want to change something later.

And I also don't know when to use dynamesh and zremesher, both are very similar and I can't see much difference in their applications with my limited knowledge

zremesher makes your edges look clean. You can make eyelids for example look good with dynamesh. The reason for this is because dynamesh topo is all over the place and no matter how much you pinch and smooth edges like that will never look clean.

Use it after your confident that you wont need to make any major changes. Also remember you can just duplicate things and hide them so if you completely fuck up you can just go back easily.

I decided to make a stitch model to try sculpting... a couple hours later making a base model: "Fuck it I'll just keep box modeling"

Moving vertex around is so addicting

How's this?

>>528813
Pretty nice. Something about the lack of detail on the flat sections like the purple tip of the tail and the black shorts is annoying to the eye, though. They don't necessarily need to be striped like everything else, but having them as just a big featureless blob makes them stick out.

just sculpted and rendered this like in 1 hour, trying to improve making more realistic aliens and monsters, but... i don't know, i always feel like i'm missing something :/ what do you think?

>>528862
Add some subsurface scattering.

>>528862
looks to me like an old idol of some sort. The scale of the surface noise makes it look on the scale of inches (seems to be intended) but what gives it that actual sculpture look instead of a monster, is that it seems to be made out of one shape. The limbs aren't detached from the body. If you want it to look more like a real thing rather than a sculpted representation of it, try using a generic open pose to sculpt then transpose it into the position you want.

>>528862
Try putting more than an hour into it? It's a blob monster. Work on quality, then increasing your speed.

>>528813
I feel like the face needs to be wider than it is.
It's all coming to a strange point that thins it out. Maybe it's the nose.

I know I may be nitpicking because I know a thing or two about fixed wing aircraft, but basic knowledge of aerodynamics is essential to design an airplane model.

Yours couldn't possibly be airworthy. The modeling is fine, if not a bit boxy.

This is the rare case where function precedes appearance, and yet both complete each other. A well designed airframe will look sexy, pic related.

>>529208

Need more bevels and rounded corners/edges.

You could cut yourself by holding it.

This is my first time doing 3D.

I was fapping to a certain artist drawings, then I stumbled upon his reference drawings that detailed proportions, and shapes he uses to draw, and couldn't help myself but want to model this, despite having 0 experience.

It's obviously in progress, no head, hands or feet, the arms don't have a good shape, neither do the legs, her back and shoulders are a bit weird, the mesh is completely fucked behind the knees, and the chest is a bit weird, too.

Armpits were a hell to model, I'm not even sure that's how it's supposed to be. Legs need a bit of work.

What I really like on it are the bones, the collar bones and the way they deform the flesh, it gave me a new obscure fetish.

>>529290
Sculpt instead

>>529294
Do you recommend I switch to ZBrush or sculpt with Blender?

And should I trash the model if I'm going to sculpt?

>>529245
Ignore him, he's a shitposter from /agdg/ and thinks it's funny to post this nonstop in every thread

>>529296
Not him, but Blender is "okay" for sculpting. It's possible but has its issues. Zbrush isn't free, but it's a professional tool, so do what you will.

You shouldn't necessarily trash the model if you're more-or-less satisfied with it and just want to add details.

Honestly, for a first attempt, that looks really good.

>>529296
do the base model with no fingers with subdivision

then use dynatopo to make the fingers and refine some detail
then face and extra anatomy in sculpt mode

>>529299
>Zbrush isn't free
:^)

I was thinking if Zbrush would help in anyways to be faster, or be easier to add detail.

>for a first attempt, that looks really good
The reference image is very good.
The only problem I have with it are feets that are not enough detailed for me to do it properly and the artstyle doesn't allow hands to look good in 3D.

And the head is going to be quite the challenge.

>>529301
I'll give it a try, not sure if I can pull it off.

>>529307
Yes, ZBrush isn't free if you want to use it commercially. If you want to just do home projects, be my guest, do whatever you want.

>>529307
>not sure if I can pull it off.
good luck, you will need it

>>529241
What would you suggest to be changed?

>>529317
Move the axis more towards the center
Modify/get rid of the lever at the back
Have less bulk around the barrel / make it narrower
Modify the top "ears" so they're not smoothly transitioning into the turret (hard transition instead)
Past that, I'd have to see a rework to really help more.

My first render so pardon the simplicity and material ignorance. Made while dicking around in Blender. Not really looking for critique on the scene itself, as I won't be revisiting it, but what habits should I take up and which should I abandon when making something like this in the future?

~106k tris because I didn't (and still don't) know how to make an economical wire mesh.

>>529242
What the fuck man.

Love the marble, care to share the mat? Everything looks too perfect, though, you need some dust and weathering.

He doesnr need any weathering its not like someone is dragging the pen through the dirt

Thanks for the input. This was something that concerned me too, especially with the ash tray. Simulating dirt and general fouling through particle systems (or something less sophisticated) is something I'll have to explore. This is beyond me at present though.

The marble is very basic. It's an image I pulled from Google (attached) and put it through a Mix Shader and used a 4% value of the image itself as the displacement. Nodes incoming.

Nice camera work, might have been better if you had zoomed in on them coming up after the slow pan and then slowly zoomed out again when they flew by but I could be completely wrong. Also not a fan of how red it is, more oranges and yellows would look better

>>529523
I hadn't noticed, but yeah, I think the monitor I was using made me fuck up the color too much. I might fix it some time.

Thanks for the feedback, man

>>529528
No worries, monitor colors can cause problems. Mine's more blue than most.
If you have multiple monitors check it on the others before marking it finished, it can help

These threads inspire me so hard. I haven't done much with my life, and I'm not incredibly artistic, but 3d modeling has always seemed like it would be almost relaxing. Keep up the good work /3/.

>>529543
It is, you don't even have to be necessarily artistic to be decent at it. I'd recommend trying it out sometime. Download some programs, watch some tutorials, make some models.

>>529511
super stiff camera

>>529522
then make them more distinct, note how they don't blend into the top in the source image, the are attached straight

>>529374
I'm sure it is as it's probably easiest to manage. This is more what I was talking about though as the "depth" of the dirt is not simulated if you make it particle-based and cast via emission.

Before I post a bunch of WIP models, what's a general rule to follow when posting? Should I include a wireframe of the model?

Including one of the five or six models I'm working on (no wireframe pic taken atm). I'm absolutely terrible at making hands and faces, so I leave them for the very end. The folds for the scarf were added manually just to see how a sculpted result might look.

It's up to you. Don't know why people obsess over wireframes though.

>>529939
>>530039
Wireframes help show if you're doing something you really shouldn't be (nonplanar ngons, bad edge loops on limbs, weird topology, etc.).
