I'm tired of modeling these, what are some interesting mechanical or non-organic devices I can model (perhaps even something that could be printed)?

I'm going to have a shot at printing a working angle flashlight sometime, program my own bright/low/strobe circuit for it and stick a 3w CREE LED inside it.

The fairings that are there are stream lined mechanical shapes that is a good stepping stone towards organics and becoming a more complete artist that can model any type of surfaces.

>>524833
>>524835
---Retard question alert---

I don't understand smooth shading. In maya at least when I smooth shade my stuff obviously it's smoother and if it's a little more high-poly it usually looks better, but when I export to fbx and put it in Unity or Unreal it's just the base polygons. Also I was told to make the base, non-smoothed model as close as possible to what I want without smoothing.

So what's its deal? Is it just for rendering pretty things, not using them in a game?

Also tell me what you would do to this model to make it better besides "delete it and kill yourself", yes it's going into a game engine.

>>524837
are you talking about smooth shading or making the model have more polygons? Maybe when you're exporting the software isn't applying the subdivisions

>>524852
smooth shading I guess. It kind of rounds out your polys?

I barely know what question I'm asking. In maya pressing 3 by default will give you a smooth shaded preview

>>524837
unless the exporter has changed from when indis udk work, when you export your model for unreal, you have to select the option to retain smoothing groups. the confusion comes from the fact that "smoothing groups" are a term that originated with 3ds max. at some point, max employed a computational timesaver that used what was called "smoothing groups" instead of actually implementing vertex normals. usually in a 3d package, the vertex normals control how per vertex shading (like gouraud shading) is calculated. wether a model appears shaded with hard edges or with smoothed out shading depends on the values of the vertex normals. 3ds max at some early point apparently rather than supporting vertex normals instead let you select groups of polys that should be shaded smoothly because this apparently had computational benefit over having true modifiable vertex normal support. thise were called smoothing groups. the term has stuck around in game dev circles to refer to smooth va hard shading in general, which is honestly really confusing. you don't see terms like "smoothing groups" when working in maya because you can modify vertex normals directly, which are what affect how the object is shaded in the first place.

as for unreal, from what i recall, the maya unreal 3 exporter by default didn't export vertex normal information. why? hell if i know. to export the vertex normal information on your model, you had to select "export smoothing groups." why did they call it smoothing groups? i'd assume because the term is so often used erroneoualy that they just stuck with it. i could be wrong about that, though. either way, i wouldn't be surprised at all if the current exporter behaves the same way

>>524852
smooth shading is per vertex shading. it's used both in modeling packages and in game engines. it's one of the most basic rendering techniques and it's kind if scary how much confusion there is about the topic due to it not being a subject covered by most "get in the action" tutorials or knowledge sources

Used to. Fuck that place. My tipping point was when one of the mods said they would ban a certain user because he was giving inappropriate critiques in an Assassins Creed unity thread.

If you go against the grain there you will be blacklisted. As with the destruction of any community they let too many sjw's in. I used to laugh in the threads where a few of the users would talk about excessive violence in games and how some female characters were dressed too sexy.

Like the other user said it was way better in the ps2 and quake skin era.

lol keep it to /pol/. that isn't why i said it isn't the same; it just isn't any longer the more personal sort of community i tend to prefer. also, polycount was never any sort of anti-sjw or other sort of political community. i don't know why you'd bring /pol/ or gg sentiments into a discussion about it

>>524907

Really??? I've never noticed it t.b.h

I'm no libcuck but I couldnt care less about politics at polycount , i just browse for the artwork and critique...

But its definetly a hugbox - just have to ignore those "Wow keep it up, ur great :D" comments from faggots trying to look friendly to get a job.

Anyone who just skips being able to create whatever they want from a sphere and have to rely on a base mesh will never succeed. They're quitters. All the pros started on this path I'm on. Nobody worth a shit skipped it.

Putting in anything that is above secondary form is retarded, because I'm retopoing.

My question was what was wrong with form. Not anatomy which is what you don't get.

I think the main issue is something else. People with slightly right-leaning views are immediately mislabelled as /pol/ and people with slightly left-leaning views are immediately mislabelled as SJW. And its annoying to be mislabelled just to be shut off from your opinions. Because before we even get to radicals, I've yet to see any strong left or right views on /3/ at all.

I think this pol-sjw thing is a trigger-fest over this namecalling and demonizing competition and it's a trend that will fade away sooner or later. Mods should be filtering these triggering words instead of TBQH and F4M which I' have no idea still gets auto-filtered.

This isn't up for debate.

1. Form
2. Proportion
3. Anatomy

Form is the silhouette and has nothing to do with anatomy. This is the most basic of all basics when it comes to sculpting. Seriously, dude. If you're debating this, you are a novice. Anatomy doesn't matter at that stage.

If you take away lighting and you only see the outline. That's form. It's the basic shapes that make anything. With no form, you have nothing. With shit form, you have shit.

The only example of where form is affected by anatomy is like the lats. If you're a big body builder, then the form will change due to the size of your lats.

What teh fuck are you even saying, dude?

Anatomical structure? Stop trying to pretend you're a good sculptor.

>>525144
You're most likely using words the way they were taught to you by another sculpter. If you check the dictionary like I say, you'd see that anatomy is the study of the entire organism, including it's form. The form is made up of the anatomy of the organism. You dont start with form and add anatomy to it. The whole thing is anatomy as soon as you intend to sculpt an organism.

>Anatomical structure? Stop trying to pretend you're a good sculptor.

Are those words too big for you or something? Maybe it was too much to ask you to go read a dictionary.

just got off work. This is just incorrect, brother. Form is the back bone of sculpting. You have form and then you add anatomy.

If you have the intention of sculpting a human body, you're practicing the science of anatomy. It doesnt matter how blobby or shapeless your model is. You're creating the human form based on your understanding of anatomy. I don't understand how this is so hard to accept.

>>525180
>if you have the intention of sculpting a human body, you're practicing the science of anatomy.

Let me be the asshole to point out that the anatomy we study as artists are very different than the one you find in scientific fields. As artists we are only interested in the skeletomuscular systems geometry, this is not a science it's just a elaborate memorization of the interconnected shapes.

>>525180

bruh idk how to even reason with this autism. too many people have explained it. Can you post some of your work? I have a hard time believing you're a sculptor.

>>525183
It's still anatomy.

How can someone can say that shape is unrelated to anatomy anyway? How do you even define your shape without any sense of anatomy? A blob?
>>525047
You're saying you're gonna retopo and do it correctly? Do you even realize your basic geometry has to be built around the visual anatomical parts of your model?
You're talking about "pros" but many pros uses base models to make theirs characters, we're talking about industry here. The romance of the perfect artist trying to get to his ideal is ridiculous in that world, you use base mesh if you need to because it allows for faster production.
In any case, if you're trying to improve, saying that you'll make it better during retopo or being lazy about some parts isn't the way to go. Stop talking about "pro" and actually try to improve instead of looking for excuses.

go to thepiratebay and torrent any single anatomy book for artists. google any anatomy tutorial. Listen to any presentation on sculpting. Google Anatomy for Sculptors PDF.

You are not a sculptor if you don't understand the concept of primary form. Form is not anatomy you dense fucking retard. They're not interchangeable. How many times do I have to explain this?

Anatomy comes after proportion and form. Ask anyone who sculpts. Stop giving advice to people who want to learn sculpting. You are a fucking retard that refuses to admit that you're wrong.

Fuck off this board, faggot, or at least don't give advice.

>It's still anatomy.

But it's not science. Anatomy as understood by someone studying medicine require you to develop a detailed understanding about the operation of
the body, it's organs, it's nerves, it's circulatory system, it's development.
Calling what we study as artists, the shapes of muscles (without understanding anything about their internal structure or operation) and their connection point a 'science' is a joke.


>How can someone can say that shape is unrelated to anatomy anyway?

You can copy shapes without any sort of comprehension about the working principles of what you depict. You can model a tree or a car without first studying botany or mechanics.
The anon you argue with is actually right, an ability to accurately mimic shape comes first and is much bigger use to an artist than having an anatomical map of the body.
But anyone who is serious about model humans should still learn their anatomy since it's so much easier to look at a human body when you understand what it is you are seeing.

How do you even define your shape without any sense of anatomy? A blob?

You define it as a set of ratios, angles, relationships between topographical features. The same way you would go about capturing the shape of any unfamiliar objects.
The shape exists without it's internal operating principles. The same way you can paint a landscape without understanding it's geology, you just mimic what you see.

>Calling what we study as artists, the shapes of muscles (without understanding anything about their internal structure or operation) and their connection point a 'science' is a joke.

I never talked about science, I talked about anatomy. I don't see why you're talking about that.
Shapes of muscles and connections points? Yes, that's anatomy.

Learning about forms is learning about primitives, learning about artistic anatomy is learning about the shapes of the human body and how to depict it with thoses basic primitives. This is basic artistic studies.

You may know how to make spheres and cubes, but if you have no notions of anatomy, you won't know where to put those shapes in the first place. It's the same principles than 2D.

>>525215
>But it's not science.
Anatomy is a branch of science regardless of the degree of study. You cant make your own definitions.

Those ratios, angles, and features all come together as your combined knowledge of anatomy. Even if you copy a model, you're still following the anatomy of your reference, assuming it's an animal. When you do that, you're already in the act of refining your anatomical knowledge.

I don't know if you know this, but anatomy includes external features. You can study anatomy without talking about internal structures.

From http://www.thefreedictionary.com/anatomy also:
a·nat·o·my (ə-năt′ə-mē)
n. pl. a·nat·o·mies
1. The bodily structure of a plant or an animal or of any of its parts.
2. The science of the shape and structure of organisms and their parts.
3. A treatise on anatomic science.
4. Dissection of a plant or animal to study the structure, position, and interrelation of its various parts.
5. A skeleton.
6. The human body.

Nothing about function, all about structure and shape. Your talk about science is irrelevant and false anyway.

I think what he said is pretty clear, the following comments explains it clearly too.
To apply shape and form to something, you must study that thing's shape.
Animals have very complex shapes. The shape and form of an animal is called it's anatomy, I have linked the definition in my previous comments.
Someone who doesn't know of a particular animal's shape (It's anatomy), can't possibly put it into basic primitive accurately, since that person won't know it's shape in the first place.
Hence the study of anatomy is directly responsible for the basic shape of the model.

Again this is form.

>Someone who doesn't know of a particular animal's shape (It's anatomy), can't possibly put it into basic primitive accurately, since that person won't know it's shape in the first place.

Anatomy barely influences the shape. The bulk of a "shape" is the "form". Not the anatomy, which is the intricacies of muscle and bone. Anatomy barely makes a dent on the shape.

>I just want to note that your position, name or whatnot have nothing to do with the facts. If you have something to say, contradiction or not, please say it.

It does because I work in the industry.

Also you are just wrong about anatomy. No sculptor that has training outside of art school, or self taught denies what the primary forms of a bust is. You're confusing what anatomy and form are. You come off as an obtuse noob to be honest with you. There's nothing you said that is true.

Please refer to prior posts.
It is litteraly the definition of anatomy.
"The science of the shape and structure of organisms and their parts"
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/anatomy

"Form" is nothing by itself, it is supposed to apply to something. The form of an animal is called anatomy.

>Anatomy barely influences the shape.

"The science of the shape and structure of organisms and their parts"
Anatomy IS shape.

>It does because I work in the industry.

Forgot to add:
You've been mistaking details and anatomy. You think that anatomy is just the detail we make after the shape is constructed. This is simply wrong. Any art class, art book, art instructor, dictionnary, establishment or academy will tell you that anatomy in arts is the study of the shape of animals. It can even go broader and be applied to object as a figure of speech. "Anatomy of a machine"

In comparison to form, it'S almost nothing of the bulk of the silhouette. For example, the deltoids. The bulk of it is a circle (the form). The more intricate fibers and anatomy is barely present in comparison to form.

This is where people who are good sculptors and ones that aren't show. If you're able to differentiate between form, and anatomy, but you guys are just mind baffling.

This isn't an argument. This is just fact. I don't understand what y'all don't get.

Here is a learning process from /ic/.
I like it, since it makes quite some sense in the order of steps. It should be useful to make you understand:

1. You get good at drawing lines to get to 2
2. Get good at perspective to get to 3.
3 Get good at understanding shapes. Primitives. To get to 4.
4 Get good at anatomy using knowledge of thoses shapes. Apply those shapes accordingly to anatomy.
5. Stylization base on all previous knowledge.

Remove 1,2,3 and you get the work of a sculptor.

anatomy isn't only intricate fibers, the deltoids themselves are anatomy. You can talk about the form of a deltoid and thats fine but I have no idea how you can do anything if you don't know where deltoids go of what they do or where they're attached.

You are not a sculptor. you're a whiny child that refuses to learn. You've had multiple people try to correct you, and you've done nothing but say anatomy XD.

If you wanted your argument to sound convincing, you'd post your viewport of your polymodeled blender human. maybe you'll be able to convey your opinion a bit better.

'Anatomy' is a broad term that has an established and specific meaning within the art and sculpting community as jargon. The term overlaps with a term used in the general lexicon, but it is used in a specific way within a specific community.

Understand, nobody is arguing that a general understanding of the structure and function of things is irrelevant to the replication of a thing in a sculpt or work. Nobody is arguing that a sense of "anatomy," in the broadest definition, is irrelevant to knowing the "form" of an object.

But, also understand that sculptors have divided the process of sculpting into many individual parts. In the scultor's dialect, anatomy specifically refers a later step in the sculpting process where material details like flesh, muscle tone, and bone are added to a sculpt. However, there are other steps that take place before the "anatomy" stage.


Consider this; you have been told to sculpt a quadrupedal object. You don't actually know what you're being told to create, so you start by producing a basic "form" -- a blob with four blobs attached at the sides. From here, you can go almost anywhere; that same form could be refined into a dog, a rat, a bear, a human that is crawling, or even a boat with four oars.

Except, you are told to sculpt a cat. You don't know what sort of cat it is yet, so you construct the most generic form of a cat -- a tail and triangular ears. Then you are told it is a Persian. Then you are told it is malnourished. By the way, the cat is missing its front right paw.

Concept art is not 3D. This was quite a mistake.

Concept art is rarely 3D. It's 2D drawings, then passed to 3D artists. Some people use 3D for concept art, but it's intended for 2D concept anyway.

>>525253

somebody really new is showing how new they are.

>>525252
>so you construct the most generic form of a cat -- a tail and triangular ears

You turn a "blob" into an animal, using your knowledge of the anatomy of the animal.
Now consider this, you are told to sculpt an animal you have never heard about and have no knowledge of anatomy about.
What do you do with your blob then?

>'Anatomy' is a broad term that has an established and specific meaning within the art and sculpting community as jargon.

I have given artistic definitions as well and have provided sources. I would appreciate if you could point me with acurate source to what you are talking about. I have seen this called as refining, but never using the term "anatomy stage" or anything alike.

See here : https://youtu.be/2uhOEFNSMW8?t=29m30s

that's not smooth shading, that's previewing what your model would look like if you smoothed your mesh by subdivision twice (as in, mesh > smooth). you're not actually doing anything to the mesh when hit 3, so of course if you export it it will be at its normal unsmoothed poly count

>>525269

Box modeling is old hat shit people like me had to suffer through. You should go straight into a sculpting package now. This way you will be able to put the detail you want where you want in a quick time and not be bothered with topology or closing holes and weird shading errors.

Very limited tools, I started with editable mesh. Programs were slow and would crash often. Good quality reference was non existent, no tutorials etc. No projection painting of any kind you had to manually find seams and remove them. Uv tools were crap, anyone remember how great the chugnuts plugin was lol.

Still people used to create great work at the time that still looks good like Steven Stahlberg and Jin Woo Lee.

UV tools where indeed crap back then. As for the rest this anon is just a bit of a whiner.
I too started with the editable and so called 'box modelling 'the first few months in favor of the same type of poly edge sub-D modelling I still do today for many surfaces.

Stahlberg was so far ahead of the pack back then. But Stephen somehow everyone just zipped by him. Last I bothered to look up his work he still did the same kind of stuff he did back in the 90's.
Only it looks worse today since things have progressed so much since then. Guess that's what happens when you grow comfortable where you are and stop pushing yourself.

the proportions of the upper part are interesting but the jaw part doesn't make any sense. first of all i don't get the idea but more importantly it doesn't make any sense visually. a jaw like that, even a mech jaw, will have musculature (or something like hydraulics or nanomesh tendons or w/e theme you want) raises, lowers, and moves the jaw.

actually i think i just realized maybe this is just intended to be a weapon a character holds? if that's the case then the jaw thing adds honestly nothing to your piece. get rid of it because it would be way stronger of a piece without it

Thanks for the critique, they're valid and definitely something I agree with.

However, I'm actually going on model to a character from a manga called No Guns Life, and your critique actually is on the design itself, which I can't really change
The jaw just werks
Don't ask me, it's some cyberpunk future logic there or maybe internal mechanisms, who knows, there's only 8 chapters of the manga out
The illustrations of him aren't exactly consistent, so I already have plenty of problems from the proportions of the head to match his design's look, the cylinder scaling and the bullet holes' negative space in 3/4 view mostly
I think you're right however, I will definitely try to make the holes bigger, I'm just wary of the silhouette of the hole on the top left and right being too cut-off by the barrel, which does not happen in the illustrations; thus why it's small now

Wanted to create a texture for it, damascus pattern, '+vlfbert+ insignia and such. but no matter what I did the specularity looks so smooth, like the blade was coated or something. So I dropped it for a generic metal shader

>>525562

The sword metal looks like galvanized aluminum.

To get the same range of customization and expression from blend targets you would need way too many blend targets.
It would be too high a workload to create that many morphs and the extra vertex data would be very wasteful performance wise.
This is a realtime model.

woman's eyebrows are more arched the one you have are masculine looking. Define the shapes inside the ear more it looks smoothed over and bloby.

The proportions are a little bit off. The eyes are too far apart. The edge of the nose is supposed to line up with the corner of the eye.

I know you said you're not going for realism but it doesn't look very stylized either so you should go with realistic proportions

decent job overall

Those concrete bricks look a bit too glossy. Same with the unpainted angle iron - it'd either have paint or a solid layer of rust (that'd actually be a good material for old tool steel that gets a splotchy black patina instead of red rust).

Otherwise, not bad. Not sure why you want to draw the viewer's eye to the little white box, but if that's your goal, you've accomplished it.

I needed a page-flip transition for a VN I've been hired to make, so I made a quick little animation in Blender. Only problem is that when it renders, the one page seems out of focus. Looks totally fine in the editor though, which is the odd part. Anyone know what could be causing this?

its just filtering the sharp edge of the checker pattern. try useing an actual image to test it

>>525903
It is an actual image. Both planes are using different sides of the same one. I used the checkered bit because it illustrates the difference best.

>>526003
Nothing stopping you from reading up on the subject and implement it, or inventing something. The 'Mesh' class allows for vertex manipulation through scripting.

>>526006
Well I'd go for readymade assets but even in the asset store there is no 'touchy' manipulations. There are lots of bending, stretching, path deforming but nothing that can simulate the interaction as if its a meaty surface.

>>526007
I'm sure you're just using the wrong keywords.
Hell, I see plugins with fluid dynamics solvers.

KEK. I frequent /pol/ and have been on polycount for around 4 years. I only come here to shitpost.

If you want a job in the industry you have to pretend to be an SJW. I don't really have any strong convictions so it doesn't bother me.

>>526032
> you have to pretend to be an SJW
Thats the easiest way to lose a job. Nobody wants to be around an obnoxious disturbing self-righteous maniac who constantly accuses people with racism, sexism, bigotry, patriarchy and memes alike.

Best way to get a job is to be centrist and apolitical as much as you can. Which means, you shouldn't be a freakshow like the SJW

Nice to see some people sticking up for here. Do you see the people saying don't go to other forums what a complete circlejerk. Complaining about anonymity like not having a name and an avatar makes you less skilled.

>Also you might want to avoid using 4chan lingo like "samefagging" outside of 4chan, you probably don't want a potential employer seeing that when looking through your work on Polycount.

Does anyone have 3Ds Max 2013?

I've recently found out that max has a lot of trouble importing max files from different versions and that the 2013 version is nearly impossible to find.

So I would like to kindly ask anyone who has the 2013 version to possibly convert it for me into an obj so I can import it.
