That anti aliasing hurt, couldn't you just make a quick render to get clean lines before posting them?

By the way, the swimsuits looks super thick, what's with that? Give them thinner lines, these looks like fantasy armor bikini here. Same for the egg shapped earings, considering the low amount of accessories, you should take a bit of time to make them good looking, use references.

Also, the blushing. It's not really the proper way to depict it. Make it smaller, and much more near the eyes, looks better that way. A larger blush works for cuter characters, but for a mature looking woman much less.

Here's the no anti-aliasing version.

I can play around with the swimsuit to get it looking thinner. And yeah I'll do some more fashionable detailed accessories, earrings, necklaces, etc..

Dunno about the blushing though. The references I use have blushing going 1/3 of the face starting from the eyes to the bottom of the nose. I don't want them to appear like they have sharp cheekbones but rather have highlighted plump cheeks.

Also for some reason I like the bright outlined version. Looks kinda prettier than the shaded version imo. Maybe the skin should be brighter.

>>539424

Looks OK, but if you're struggling with something you should push yourself to improve instead of falling back on what you can get away with. Unless it's a paid job.

>>539402

Paint which flakes away when it gets old is very unlikely to be popular aboard spacecraft. Anything that can jam up your air circulation system is a huge hazard; see why NASA spent ages developing a pen which can write in zero gravity rather than risking pencil shavings floating around.

Generally, any spacecraft which has used it's fire-fighting equipment has has something go terribly wrong.

A scene which has real thought put into why everything looks the way it does will work. Don't rely on generic solutions like chipped paint and scratched metal to give an air of authenticity. Doing the research and thinking things through gets good results.

>What's wrong with fast fashion?

Everything. But I'm mostly rustled because there are far more interesting shoe designs than that from Aldo.

This may not be the place to ask, but I'm a poorfag who wants to get into 3D modelling for a hobby, and I can't afford any high end stuff. I tried to use Blender and at first glance I was completely lost, but I may just need to watch tutorials.

Is Blender (and any free 3D modelling software) shit? Is there no hope for me till I get some money?

>>539463
Blender is just a tool, like any other piece of software. Some are more difficult to navigate than other, but if you take tr time to learn, Blender will do just fine.

Thats fair, I mostly chose this one because it's simple and has an all black variant. I want to dunk it in black liquid and have it come out as a black shoe. Here is an early test of that. I am attempting to mix footage and some cg elements into an ad spot type thing.

>>539463
Start with blender, you can learn the 3D modelling theory.
When you master theory you can choose another software or just full hardcore with blender.

>>539446
This is the best I can do. I don't want to be stuck on it any longer. I just wanted to make hair where it was still in the cartoon effect.

Maxing out the render settings

I'd say start asking for help when you've finished blocking her out. Honestly doesn't look too bad so far.

>>539742
render is way too small to show off anything you've made.

>>539742
Man, I saw this a couple months ago, really like the way it's going. What are you rendering it in?

The main issue I can see is that your walls need some sort of dirt/texture. This can be as a reflection map, bump map, glossiness map, anything. The effect can be subtle, but even if your walls are really clean they should show some hints of texture. Otherwise it looks very fake and 3d-ish.

I would definitely look at material references for inspiration. I also feel like it's kinda weird that the chrome on your airlocks has super glossy reflections, these tend to be more matte (cause of brushed steel, moving parts, wear, etc.)

>>539136
Make sure your control panels emit light (even if it isn't a lot). That will contribute a lot to the atmosphere of the scene, and should help them look more believable.

>>539742
Walls still look meh and the shader is not particularly nice.
Everything else looks like plastic and the scale looks off, which is most likely because the whole scene needs a dirt pass and more variation in roughness.
Lighting also looks kinda boring, i know its coming from outside the window, but some more shadows and contrast would help establish more mood.

>>539760
Yes, it is.
Put in a nice contrasty illumination and go wild with the colors/textures.
I sure would have fun texturing that guy.

I don't see anything inherently wrong with your image.

>>539929
Looks pretty good. The only issues I see are some blotchiness around the frame and some artifacting where the trigger guard meets the frame. Smoothing/polycount is a bit inconsistent (round barrel, very polygonal grip), but other than that I'd say it's fairly okay.

>>539888
Super cute, but the chin looks like it's too far forward (can't see it properly without a side view though)

>>539913
the noses you chose for your model don't fit the artistic expression you were going for. That serious seinen/hentai manga look you want will only be achieved through research (looking up manga of the style you want and copying).

once you have a good understanding of what lines of contour should be included in the render, look at real life noses and see if you can make your own anime noses in the same artistic expression. here, I even found something you might find useful

Low poly characters are painted, not sculpted.

>use real sunlight (this process requires me to go from 128 samples to over 2000 since it looks much better but creates lots of noise)

hi, i'm still new to 3d but i did this, and i have a few questions

should i use a normal map ?

is it a good idea to use textures wth transparence for the hair, won't it mess with the shadows or anything ?

is there a better way to take pictures of the models i make ?
i only know cycles rendering in blender

>>540190
this looks really good for someone new to 3d. are you following a tutorial?

>should i use a normal map ?
you use a normal maps for details that don't need to be modeled out, so it ultimately comes down to what you want the finished thing to look like.

>is it a good idea to use textures wth transparence for the hair, won't it mess with the shadows or anything ?
transparent textures are fine for hair and widely used. There should be no shadow issues if your transparency map is correct.

>is there a better way to take pictures of the models i make ?
if you are just trying to show the model you can just take a snip of the viewport instead of waiting for something to render out. If it's a modelling question turn on the shaded wireframe so people can see the topology.

thank youu, i followed a step by step on youtube then i started this one without tutorial,
then i think i'll use a normal map, the entire model is about 20 000 tris so i'm gonna need it,
i'm also gonna look how to use alpha thing in the textures, it seems kinda complicated
thank you for answering da questionss
also, i was careful about not using any triangles, does it really change anything ?

>>540201
mind linking the tut? I'm a shit at organics but I know a shit ton about the technical aspects.

what is the purpose of your model. If you are just rendering with a raytracer, you don't really need to worry about your polycount like you would if you were putting it into a game engine.

>alpha thing in the textures, it seems kinda complicated
alpha maps are really simple once you udnerstand how they work, so don't worry. It basically comes between a value of 0(black) for transparent areas and 1(white) for visible areas. pic related is an example.

>i was careful about not using any triangles, does it really change anything
Keeping it to quads is better for edge flow and topology. If you go deeper, everything is seen as triangles at render time, so in the ultimate scheme of things you always end up with triangles anyway.
Use quads when possible in order to optimize your edge flow, but if there's a situation where you want direct control of a certain surface using a triangle is perfectly fine.

>>540205
here's the tuto
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvEPwLeHdWs
i watched the whole serie by trying to make things the same as he did, and then i made the other model in the picture above, it helped me learning how topology and all of the blender tools worked
i'll try to put this character into unity or unreal engine someday, so i made it as low poly as i could while keeping a certain quality
so i need an alpha map, and a texture to get something transparent ?
when i use a simple png texture, the transparent parts are just black on the model, i'm looking at another tutoriel about this now heh

>>540206
i'm not familiar with blender, but the materials should have something like a transparency attribute you can just attach a separate image to. So you end up with a jpg for the color and another jpg for the transparency. There might be something in blender settings that let you use transparency in a png for the alpha, but I couldn't tell you that.

>when i use a simple png texture, the transparent parts are just black on the model
now unity is an annoying piece of shit about transparency and is a pain in the ass to work with. It doesn't use transparent backgrounds as the actual transparency and you can't use a second texture for the cutout.
You need to save the texture as a .tif or something and manually make the alpha channel for the cutout in an image editor like pic related.

>>540207
damn, this look pretty annoying u right,
i tried unity a little but i don't think it is powerful enough, so i probably won't use it and focus on unreal,
and i found out how to get a texture with alpha with only one map, it wasn't complicated actually https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi3oFolsPI0
i've seen black pictures with white shapes at the transparent parts so i thought it would be longer, but it's good now~
