this is my first fully complete character for a game im making called santa the molester.

it's just a learning experience, and I'm going to redo in the future.

fucking retard, alwayds post polycount in tris

>>522068

That's not even even topology?

>>522068

that topology isn't capable of being animated. It's 50% triangles. The face has literally no edge flow following any topology guidelines.

Plus it's fucking triangles.


Maya has good topology tools, but I 100% use 3D coat.

There's like a torrent of 3D coat with maybe 3 seeders. If you want to retopo, get it quick.

that topo is 100% animatable, all the triangles are there for a reason,and you can still see the edge loops clearly

>>522114


dude if you show this to anyone who knows anything about topology, it will be mocked.

This is trash.

There is zero edge flow in the face.

This isn't a good topo even remotely.

>>522115
low poly, don't know the needs and restrictions of the model, assuming facial anim would be blinking and basic expressions it is fine, the model has clearly been triangulated and the resolution is too small to see the underlying topology of the face before it was triangulated

>>522090
all topology is triangles. every polygon mesh you've ever seen animated is triangles being animated. edge loops still exist within a triangulated mesh. the fact that the faces are split into tris means absolutely nothing when it comes to deformation.

As a rigger who has worked on a shit ton of models in my experience, this is more than fine and you're just a retard
You do realise quads are two triangles right? Please tell me you know that literally every quad are triangles at the end of it all, right? Literally all those triangles are to ensure that the quad is calculated properly in heavier rotation and deformation areas (So the quad won't suddenly flip the triangle orientation in certain deformations)
You can clearly see the quad flow throughout the whole mesh, and what seem like odd structures in the mid of common joints (such as between hip and knee, knee and ankle, shoulder to elbow, etc will have 3 joints, starting, mid and end) are points which help when skinning rotation of the limb
Hip topo is for controlling hip volume better since that way it's easier to skin the hips to the U loops on the sides,

Why do idiots who know nothing become so vocal about being a retarded cunt?

Actually he's right and you're wrong. GPUs work with tris, so do cpus. Quads are just easier to use, cause you can subdivide them, you can't do that with triangles. Tris is the only kind of face used for rendering both realtime(games, viewport) and not realtime, except when there aren't any faces at all, like in pointcloud based models, or parametric models(which are rendered with triangles too).

>>522195
Actually, you are wrong. The Sega Saturn did not work with tris at all, and it’s rendering GPU (the VDP2), was not capable of drawing them, or even actual polygons at all. It used affine transformation on sprite vertices to simulate quadrangular polygon meshes- the only way to make an actual triangle on the screen was to draw a sprite, affine transform the vertices, and collapse two of the verts into the same location. This, for example, is why you have texturing issues on the first big boulder you see in the first level of Tomb Raider on the Saturn- the texture is distorted by this process. Incidentally, however, this is also why you don’t see texture warping near the camera in Saturn games, while you do in PS games- the 4 point affine transformation makes the interpolation less likely to calculate with errors, vs the 3 point transformation the PS used. See pic- the left is the PS1 version, right is SS. If you look at the wall on the left side of the screen in both caps, you’ll see on the SS version the pixels have straight edges whereas on the PS1 wall, they have a fairly pronounced ripple. This is due to the lower precision triangular affine transformation.

>>522199
> was not capable of drawing them, or even actual polygons at all

You aren't describing a triangulated polygon mesh. None of your comment is relevant.

All you've done is refute the statement that
>GPUs work with tris, so do cpus.
with a fringe case of technology that is not longer used.
And still that statement ^ is true. GPUs work with tris. So do CPUs.

>>522068
This mesh still has edge flow. It still deforms as intended. The triangles still don't mean shit.

>>522090
and this guy is still an idiot.

>The sega saturn.
Yeah, we're totally talking about the fucking sega saturn, you dumb assshit. Also, you're talking about rasterizing. Learn the terms.
Also, the way you constructed your sentence makes no sense, cause it sounds ambiguous. First, gpus, well except for vector based monitors, were never capable of drawing polygons.
Second,
>affine transformation on sprite vertices to simulate quadrangular polygon meshes
this sentence makes no sense, what you probably meant is:
>affine transformaton on sprite "vertices", in order to simulate triangles with quads
A fast google check confirms that's what you meant.
In the end, you tried to sound smart, but came in like a stupid namefag with your retarded ambiguous sentences that make no sense. You shouldn't try to act smart, if you don't know what the shit you're talking about and if you know, at least learn your terms. You could've just said.
>While you're right that tris is and always was the main type of polygon that gpus worked with, there was a time where a quad based gpus existed and even a major console that used them.
And then, you could've just said.
>A fun fact is, in sega saturn they had to make a quad with one of the edges length 0, in order to simulate a triangle.
Also, educate yourself on what rasterizing is and how gpus never draw polygons at all.

don't do this. classes in digital 3d stuff are in a lot of ways a waste of money aside from networking or getting instruction and insight from a serious industry vet if they're teaching the course (not as likely as you'd hope). some hardcore industry vets do move to education and most competent schools will have a few on hand but it's a crapshoot.

i'd instead recommend taking courses to learn foundation art skills. 2d design, drawing, painting, sculpture, that sort of thing. most community colleges offer foundation art courses and programs and they're a great resource. it may sound like a waste of time but having a wider tool set of general artistic understanding and ability will help you a lot in any 3dcg efforts you pursue.

that's pretty good advice. I just finished a degree with with a school that had industry vets in both foundation and full time courses and I felt there would be no way I'd be where I am if it wasn't for their help and advice.

It's still funny to see how most people manage to fuck even that up, like 90% of our class dropped out because they were lazy and 60% of the people who are left won't ever work in the industry because they either never turned up and ignored critisism or just coasted.

Then again I know some people in the industry who went to a real shitty school but still ended up being successful.
TL;DR: it's not what course it is, its how hard you work, and even if you work hard a shitty course is worth more than autodidact

Can I ask some questions too?

1. How do I get the shadows/edges harder on this armor? I've tried lots of edge hardening and normal averaging and shit and this is as distinguished as I can get it. Do I need different colors/materials to make it stand out or should it be able to be as obvious as it should be just with basic lambert boloney?

2. Why do quads or tris only matter? I was told to keep it all one or the other but never the reason why. This guy is wholly quads and correct edge numbers and that's how I model, but I don't know why.

3. Mixamo gave all their animations away a while ago and I got all the ones I could ever think about using, but I'm not sure how to take what I have and rig it so it works with what they have. I can animate in maya but I've never rigged so I don't know if I need to exactly match what mixamo does or if it would be easier to rig and animate it on my own. How hard is rigging and applying animations?

4. Is it possible to apply different UV maps to the same object? I'd like to get a lot of detail going but I don't think that's possible without cutting corners if I do it all in one UV. Could I make one for the shoulder armor, then one for the chest, then one for the helmet, etc?

5. Thanks for any answers you can give me, I'm very much self-taught and I was never told the real do's and do-not's.

>>522606

>>522606
1 select edges to harden -> mesh display -> harden edge
2 quads are optimal because they can be smoothed by splitting into 4 smaller quads. mesh -> smooth your model and see how it looks. Undo it. Now use multicut and make a few random quads into two tris. smooth it again see what happens. Usually game engines will convert your models to tris because they're mathematically easier to work with and it's not like it's going to be smoothed in game.
3 depends on the quality of animations you do. If you already have animations, look into humanIK and you can transfer animations to your model.
4 yes. Open UV - UV editor -> UV sets. More UV sets will allow you to have a higher resolution, but this is obviously more expensive. You have to decide the balance.

Nice, but the grip is way too curved. Are you using reference?

>>522707

Fuck yeah, SolidWorks.

>>522873

As somebody pointed out your handle is too curved. There's also a leaf spring at the side of the pistol that holds the hammer in the half and full cocked positions, it's missing on yours as well as the ram rod.

The pan needs to be horizontal. A pan that's angled like that would end up dumping the primer powder when you pressed the trigger causing a misfire.

That's one of the things they get wrong a lot in movies. They'll show people holding flintlocks straight up over their head and pulling the trigger to fire it because it looks dramatic. Do it in real life and you'll end up with a spark and a lot of black powder dumped on your head.

>>522942

no wait the leaf spring holds the strike plate open of closed, the hammer is held by an internal mechanism. The strike plate needs to be closed to fire.

Black powder weapons are a lot of fun. I actually find them more fun to fire than modern weapons. You can get working modern reproductions for under $2000. I've always wanted to try hunting with one. I imagine it would be a challenge to hunt birds in flight because you can't aim up as high with a flintlock musket as you can with a modern cartridge firearm.

Actually there were some pistols with that kind of grip. I can't image they'd be that comfortable to fire.

But they where excellent when you flipped em over to use as a club or hooking device when scaling a ship.

>>522948

Not to mention they'd probably be less likely to slide out of your belt.

>>522950
And much simpler to fast draw in a tight spot than >>522927

For me the hook design is the more familiar one for flintlocks. But I'm not very educated about the armament of that period.

Okay it looks like the pan isn't actually tilted but has one side with a higher edge, probably a weather guard to keep the wind from blowing away your powder before it could ignite as well as catching falling sparks and channeling them into the pan.

The anatomy of that skull is off Get lots of references and fix it

>>523133
I think you should work on your form before you work on textures.
Make a more detailed model. In fact, why don't you just pirate ZBrush and sculpt a sheet of cloth out of individual fibers? Apply the normal map of that cloth to a single quad in a regular 3D modeling program and then go to town on it with photoshop.
Maybe then you will get inspired.

your creases are going too far, in your reference they barely go out to the middle of the asshole but you have them going all the way to the outer edge. Focus on making them puffier I guess

>>523189
your back anatomy is weird, especially the upper back. i dont have time to point out it all but look closely at some ref images and how the muscles flow there. from the side view the flow from the neck down to the midsection doesnt feel quite right, like look at ref and see how the shoulderblades should affect the curve. the front looks like a better start, although your topology is kind of questionable in some places. i think you should look at more ref for the front as well cause some of the indentations and flows dont feel quite right.

>>523125
i say red

>>523070
basically what other guy said. also your material needs bump/normal work so as to break up the specularity. it looks like a plastic toy. give more overall color variation to the base as well, even subtle gradients can help. this also applies to the ship, all the wood looks exactly the same. if its just a still image you can do some work in post. also the base color seems kinda noisy, usually you want to avoid/localize that and keep the high contrast for the other maps. the flag looks good. the bg is kinda vague, where is this exactly? i can see you put in good effort though so keep going

I think when I first learned how to polymodel a body I used that joan of arc 3d tutorial, if you google it you'll find it. but honestly it's pretty annoying to try to think about topology while modeling. I would pick up sculpting, it will allow you to focus on the form more and then worry about edge flow later.

>>523295
the render looks good but you can work on the shader/texture. the fade/gradient doesn't feel quite realistic to me. and maybe if every cup wasn't exactly the same it would make it better.

>>523303

That's a thing, yes. The few tutorials I've seen always had the workflow of "boxmodel ->subsurface modifier -> sculpt -> fix topology".

Thanks again, anon!

>>523365

some of that topo is atrocious, though

>>523373
Yes, even when it doesn't deform you need to use bones to be able to paint weight.

>>523365
I dont think eye loops are supposed to look like that

>>523389
you dont have to paint weights for some things. You can just parent meshes to bone with no weights

>>523373
Animation of solid objects that do not deform may or may not use any bones depending on how you set it up.
For instance if you have a robotic arm or something you can use the transform pivots of the objects themselves linked together to make up the animation system.

Bones are really just pivots without any geometry attached to them. The objects featured in programs like max and maya named 'bones' are just convenient to use as such objects included.

>>523392
Can you put spline controls on something like that? Animators will not even touch something with no controls

You may do it low poly but that is not why. Even a 10 year old PC that could play the games of the mid 00's is usable for making the graphics for contemporary games.

If you can't subdivide a sphere without your system choking your computer is probably from the very early 90's anon.

That’s your problem, right there. You’re forcing your shitty onboard GPU to do the work, and/or offloading what it cannot do to the CPU. Do you have $16? Because that is what it will cost you to get a slightly better replacement on eBay, a 9800GT/512MB:

UV mapping

>>523825
speaking form experience, i would delete history on that before something fucks up and corrupts the mesh, or something like a UV smooth operation crashes Maya.
There's no reason to keep that kind of history and it just slows everything down.
Btw when it comes to unwrapping faces, you may want to scale the face region up to fill more of your UV space and ignore compression on the top / back of the head because it likely won't be visible. Also if you cut holes where the inside of the nostrils are, and cut a seem outwards from the holes in a place that isn't too visible, you will be able to relax the outside of the nostrils a lot more easily.
You'll also want to make the UVs symmetrical and add asymmetry to the vertex position.

working on low poly, first time doing handpainted characters

Any experienced in 3ds max? Is there any modifer or automated way to turn a square into an even cylinder? As in consistent radius around the circle?

This is mocap, right? Looks awesome.

>>523915
yep. its from mixamo

>>522242
How do you make the points curvey like that?

I prefer not to use pirated software and don't like buying things.

I already have substance, but it doesn't seem that good at diffuse painting for stylized textures.

Should I use blenders built in texture painting system for that or should I suck it up and buy 3D coat?

Feature wise I literally just need layers and circle brushes, nothing fancy beyond that. Honestly, I think photoshop has the capability so if anybody has any experience with that let me know if it's viable or if it's crash prone trash.

>>523880
If you actually want to use this in a game I suggest you fix the timing. Right now it's too evenly spaced, needs to be edited for more impact for the hits.

>>523930
How hard was it to take the mixamo animation and apply it to your guy? I'm unfamiliar with animation but I got all the free mix ones from a couple weeks ago and now I want to use them.

it is pretty easy, just stick your model in the autorigger and there you go.

>>523942
not that guy, but wouldn't it be better to edit the animation of the enemy being hit? rather than the player hitting?

>>523941

A lot of blizzard people use 3d coat so it's pretty viable. The steam edition runs like ass so don't get it there.

Holy shit dude I didn't know they had an autorigger, I thought it was some involved process. My guy looks great with these animations, especially free ones!

Thanks for the heads up senpai, you just saved me forever rigging my own shit. Obviously it could be better, but I'll take a free, instantaneous 95% than a painstaking 100%

Throw an fbx of a mostly t-posed character of yours into mixamo's (website) autorigger and all you have to do is put where the elbows, wrists, chin, groin, and knees are, and it rigs the rest with surprisingly good results.

Then when you're previewing some of the animations you bought (I think they're still all free, or I was able to get the zombie ones today still free at least), you select your character and you can watch your guy doing all that shit right in the browser.

It's really neat

What's a good way to get some detail on this gun? Should I just pick a random gun image and copy its side?

I can model it, I just don't know what to model.

>>524165
>I can model
no
no you cant

>>524196
wow thanks for the constructive criticism, I didn't know I was on the pros only board. Care to share what you're working on?

this took me literally 5 minutes, I just need any gun for my game but I don't want to just copy/paste the side of an M4 or whatever, and was wondering if any of you knew a good way to model guns details besides straight up copying from reference

very good quality animation, but he looks drunk. I'm no expert in fighting techniques but he seems to have a little too much follow through, or maybe a better way of saying this would be that his attacks aren't very precise? Of course, if you wanted to make him look drunk then 10/10, if not then 9/10, still good work.

>>524103

That finish looks more like acrylic than steel.

>>523365
did you model that, or did you just retopo an existing model?
