I've been making this and I want to fucking die.
Pepakura Designer has some issues with faces bleeding outside of the vertices they are attached to. Also Designer would crash every time I tried to unfold it, had to literally delete vertices 1 at a time to find this merged edge that was causing the problem. Also No one who made Bloodborne knows what a gun looks like or how it works, this design can eat a dick.
Had pretty much finished unfolding this model and I noticed some mistakes with the bleeding so I had to go back to the model, fix it and now have to re-unfold it.
I will never make a poll about what papercraft I should make again.

Making models in MC is not ideal but it does work. Usually.

I'm about to make textures for my model.
is there any method of doing them differently.(currently using blender and my blender is very normal I think, which is just maker seams unwrap them and then adjust them slightly to fit the sheet.)

I'm not saying I don't want to do it, I just would like to know other options.

learnt to bake normal maps and got a model i made into unreal engine, the shitty sword. what's best program for uv unwrapping or is 3dsmax ok?

>>541698
Idk 3dsMax, but i know its better than C4d.

I use Unfold3D which is an dedicated unwrap tool.
Then there is UVlayout, which is as functional, but it has an ancient UI.

Maya has Unfold3d integrated.
Modo's UV tools are good, Blender is ok, but will get an UV-update soon, then its bleeding edge.
Cinema4d is terrible.

>>541859
>add more edge sharpness
It's already at 1, I can't add more. I'm unclear on how you did that bottom-left corner; the line is slightly thicker, do you have a small weight to it? That's specifically what I'm trying to avoid.

I want to have a slightly rounded edge, more than what subdivision gets, but it "curls" unless it's at a very high value, which makes it too sharp.

See pic related for more elaboration.

>>541861
you have 2 loops that are really close but its probably barely visible

so its 4 loops in total

Thanks, pretty much started with a sphere and worked my way from there with extrusions and a rough blockout, I had a general idea what i was going for design wise. I used proportional editing for the ornate pieces to get the curvature.

I think the shape is fine. Look on some of the blood elf concept art for direction instead of the in-game models.
Make the nose protrude a little bit at least on the sides (dunno what to call it). Right now it's just merged into the face, so there's no contrast.

>That moment when your art qualifies as "meme tier"

>>543576
>"really nice"

Glass with full opacity and a clearly visible diffuse/albedo like in your pic looks like a cartoon, or an early 2000s render.

Not that what you're suggesting is necessarily a bad idea, but the pic doesn't illustrate it well.

As for >>543024 , his problem seems to be that his glass' diffuse is too high (if he wants tinted glass, it should be dark red whereas this looks like light red). I haven't worked in UE4 yet, but I'm guessing the issue with the aluminum is that it needs a higher metalness/specular value, seeing as it reflects just fine at glancing angles (side of the building) but doesn't seem to be reflecting much head on. Might also want to add glossiness if these reflections are super super blurry (hard to tell with this pic).

You started blocking in bits of detail WAY too early: the fact you put the little desklamp and switches on the walls at the stage you did tells anyone with experience that you are not looking at the right things and following a logical design process.

You have not begun to even address one percent of the challenges regarding scale, proportion and composition - so why the fuck are you putting in little cavity details on the walls?

You need to focus, hard, on composition, proportion and scale or all the little window-dressing elements like those bullshit little switches on the walls are not gonna cover for the boring rounded-rectangle windows on the walls that look to be thinner than a single-ply of sheet-rock, which are, for some reason situated at below shoulder-height despite the fact that there is more wall *above* the window than there is *below* it.

No hate here, and I'm not being deliberately mean, and I could go on... I'm just saying the things that experienced people will be thinking when they see your work unless you focus on your formal elements.

>>544139

I mean... I'm sorry - but fucking *straps* holding the beds on the wall? Straps? Is this a space-station or a fucking youth hostel in Eastern Europe?

Why straps anyway? Those beds don't appear to fold away? And if the things on the wall are foot-holds to climb to the top bunks, those stupid fucking straps are going to get in the way.

And... bunk-beds? Ok - you have bunk-beds when your space is limited.... but we're looking at an empty room there! Why have bunk beds when there's so much available space?!

Sorry.... I'll stop...

Fucking huge 1970s strip lighting right next to your bed on a space-ship... that makes sense if you're in retard-space i guess....

sorry... i'll stop....

>>544143
I have a single answer for all of that: I'm self taught, I don't know what the hell I'm doing, and this is a very minor hobby.

Thanks for all the suggestions, that's exactly what I needed.

>why the fuck are you putting in little cavity details on the walls?
Because I didn't know I need to do composition first.

>focus, hard, on composition
Could you explain a bit on what you mean by that? Or show me to a decent reference?

>No hate here, and I'm not being deliberately mean, and I could go on
Please, do. I have absolutely zero experience with scenes; I've only ever done individual models until now and don't know where to start.

>>544145
>straps
>don't fold away
>is this Eastern Europe
Not going to lie, I did take inspiration from Soviet trains. It's a shitty solution for a problem that probably doesn't exist.

>so much available space
Not finished with the room yet - don't even know if I want to finish it at this point, really, it's looking pretty bad as-is.

>1970's strip lighting right next to your bed
Yeah, the trains are atrocious. The light is within arm's reach and is blinding. You mean the one in the wall, not the ceiling, right?

>I'll stop
I am genuinely open to critique. I want to get better; I don't want my work praised if there's nothing to praise. Please, continue.

Ok - so you need to develop actual art skills before you need to worry about all the technical challenges of making high-end art on a computer. And I was a graphic design lecturer for 8 years so it's not like i'm talking shit here.

And you may not like what I'm about to say but I'm afraid it's true - the best way to deal with those shortcomings is by drawing. Yep - drawing with a pencil and paper. Not a Wacom.

The first technical aspects of how you should learn to draw are how to use 1-point, then 2-point, then 3-point perspective.

Pic related is an example of 2-point perspective. There are a million things online to teach you how to draw in this manner.

You want me to go on are have you tapped-out at the notion of learning traditional image making skills?

>>544149
I've been wanting to learn to draw paper/digital as well recently, so I'm willing to listen. I'm vaguely familiar with a lot of the terms so I'm not an absolute beginner, but still self-taught, so pretty low-level.

>>544148

This guy shows how you very quickly build up a simple environment sketch using just 1 point perspective.
Trust me - this is very, very easy stuff here.

All the while you are learning these things with pencil and camera, you should be applying them in the computer.

When you are beginning an interior space like the one above again, you should only be using blocks - literally just boxes - for the first hour or so. I'm not kidding. Just moving boxes which are the size and proportion of the objects in your scene into place and moving them around and adjusting their placement and size and the camera location(s).

All that^ should happen WAY WAY WAY before you start putting fucking light-switches on the walls.

That's enough for now. If you want to look at brilliant sci-fi concept artists btw look at:

And seriously - i'm not joking; if you don't learn this shit, it doesn't matter how great you are at modelling or texturing or whatever - your work will always look fucking shit because you don't know how to place anything properly.

Questions?

I won't bother selecting/quoting every post, but this all seems like it'll help tremendously. Thanks for taking the time to write all of this up, it's very appreciated.

It seems like I've really got my work cut out for me. I didn't expect to get professional quality within a week, but it's looking more like it'll take months for me to get even to mediocre.

Looking forward to it, though.

Your're probably not going to get much feedback because your model is too simple. It's basically a really simple blockout, add more to it and we can give you a better crit.

The one thing I can tell you is that you should look up tutorials on control loops and control cages if you wanna do sub-d modeling.

Start *looking at* (and I stress, *looking at* as opposed to *downloading*) some other artists Kitbash libraries.

A sci-fi artist should have a few scenes/folders full of technical looking parts and components that can be cut up and re-engineered to serve a new project.

I'm in the process of making my own kitbash library right now, and I think everyone should make his own over time. If you use someone else's shit - you will always suck.

Anyway - take a look at this stuff and begin making your own. Just try to create one or two pieces like pic related every day.

Right now I really, really love Fusion360. Pic related (one of my parts). I only started learning it about a month ago. It's so simple to learn and use. It plays with Zbrush very nicely and it's free if you're a student.

Seriously - learn Fusion360. It rules.

>>544234
These look pretty nice but dont you need solidworks for this? Solidworks can do these nurb based chamfered edges and boolean operations already. Isn't there a program or atleast a method thats more relevant to video game modellers that can handle booleans and smooth edges ?

>>544237

Fusion is Autodesk's rival to SolidWorks. I've never used SW, personally.

My workflow -

1. Fusion360 - create the vast majority of the model.
2. Convert STL files output from Fusion to Obj files in Maya
3. Do any further modeling and polishing in Zbrush (rarely necessary)
4. Retopologize and UV in 3D Coat (SO fucking fast and easy. FUCK Zbrush for retop)
5. Bake in xNormal (You can bake in 3D Coat but I can't be bothered to figure it out so I just stick with what I know)
6. Quixel Suite for texturing and any minor details (like embossed text etc).

It looks like a lot - but it really isn't because basically the model looks great right out of Fusion.

>>Isn't there a program or atleast a method thats more relevant to video game modellers

Here's the program and method that's 'relevant' to video game modellers, ready?

It's the program and method that gets the job done well. And that workflow above, works.

>Vitaly
Love his work. So, just start crapping out little reusable parts? I've been considering making some crates and storage containers but wanted to give a scene a go, dunno if that was the best idea though. The thing I have against kitbashes is 1) if I'm making models for games, I always thought the high polycount on them would be an issue and 2) same-ness if I reuse the parts too much.

>>544237
>don't you need solidworks
SW is an engineering program. Sure, you can get nice views, but I'm not sure it'll play nice with rendering programs because of the way the models are represented/exported in it.

>program or method more relevant that can handle bools and edges
Well... shouldn't all of them? Blender, Maya, Max?

>>544239

>>> 1) if I'm making models for games, I always thought the high polycount on them would be an issue

Erm... that's what the normal map is for dude.

>>>2) same-ness

It's called 'consistency' and you deploy it judiciously following a period of artistic reflection. This is part of being an artist and having taste. There is no 'good taste' plug-in or script yet, I'm afraid.

>>>if I reuse the parts too much.

The trick with doing anything 'too much' is to not.

>>544239

>>SW is an engineering program. Sure, you can get nice views, but I'm not sure it'll play nice with rendering programs because of the way the models are represented/exported in it.

Ditto for Fusion - an engineering program. But if you know what you're doing, anything is possible.

TL:DR - yes you can get geometry out of Fusion which is useful in Zbrush and Xnormal.

>>544238
>>544239
Oh I meant something else. I watched some fusion 360 tutorials after you said it and it all runs in SW. Did you mean Fusion360 is a standalone program and not a plugin for SW?

>>544242

>>Did you mean Fusion360 is a standalone program and not a plugin for SW?

Yes. Tbf I had no fucking idea it existed as a plugin. Are you sure that's a thing?

Whatever, Fusion works by itself at the beginning point of a modelling pipeline. I'd encourage anyone to give it a shot.

if it's for a video game you could get a similar effect with one just box for the receiver and bump mapping. I know you know about the handles but the barrels, bolts etc. have way too many polys. did you make this in something and then convert it to a mesh model later?

also, if it's for a video game, you could have a separate model when you're using it, just for the parts you see from the back.

I really like the pencil sketch of the orc creature. making assets like that is really time-intensive and I think you're being held back by artistic choices rather than technical skill. >>>/ic/ is really critical of that since there's some people there that do illustrations for fantasy cards and stuff.

A remodel of a spider-tank from some anime.

I mostly do engineering stuff and tried to do this in what I was familiar with, which probably wasn't the best idea. The randomly angled polygons on the body were very frustrating do do in CAD.

More like it's so fucking heavy that the joints would probably fail as soon as it tries to move. Approximate size is 8m high, 30m wide.

i spent about a week with maya, and i'm switching to 3ds.

i'm trying to get a comprehension of the entire pipeline from concept to asset for unreal engine 4... baking, hi-poly, lo-poly, re-topo. collision mesh, UV's, texturing, etc.

i'm pretty much focused on architecture right now. i'll introduce props and then later characters eventually.

i'd like to eventually incorporate Revit into the workflow, something like revit -> 3Ds -> unreal engine for creating architecture. i was trained on inventor when i was in high school.

i'm studying greek, roman, gothic architecture when i get frazzled and need a break. i think i kind of need Revit -> 3ds in order to get the formula and proportions accurate for period architecture, pic related. plus i think it would be a lot faster to bang out generic steel structures or homes in revit, and i can get blueprints off the internet, bring them into revit and then 3ds and then into unreal engine.

Is there a better way to bridge a 16 vert edge loop to a 6 vert one? This is the best I could manage after a lot of trial and error, and it subdivides with no artifacting issues. The wireframe certainly isn't pretty though.

>>546159
If you don't care about the low-poly, why not bring down the outside edges to 12, or even 6?

>>546160
12 presents the same problem;a bit cleaner but more than one subdivision and there's some overlapping issues. The same with 6 verts, if the inside hole isn't small.

>>546159
This variant only has two triangles.

That beign said, why even do this if you're gonna subdivide anyway? why not stick with the same number of edges on both loops?

>>546162
Because having 6 on the outside loop creates some errors with the inner loop if it's subdivided. If the inside loop is 16 then it's no longer hexagonal. That being said the outside loop could also be 24, or whatever other number.

>>546163
Just how are you subdividing the mesh? An equal number of edges in the two loops shouldnt result in any errors using regular Catmull-Clark subdivision. If whatever you're using (I'm assuming it's Maya's crease tool or something) can't handle that, then just do it the regular way by adding support edges to preserve the hexagonal shape.

Blender. Faces seem to overlap at any subdivision higher than one (using Catmull-Clark).
I'm sharps/creases, which yields what you see here. However bevel's do the same thing.

>>546165
Do yourself a favor and dump the crease thing and just stick with support geometry. The lower polycount isn't worth dealing with that sort of bullshit.

Usually I don't, to be fair. I've developed a bit of a workflow with them with some HardOps stuff, but it's mighty finicky.
I often get issues like this, however, presumably because bevels (that are two segments) will create triangles and make the above angles n-gons. I don't know of any better junctions to resolve that, though.

I'm working on a project mixing gothic and baroque architecture. If you're going to be assembling things inside of UE4 then you really don't need the precision of software like autocad and revit, maya and 3ds max will do just fine.

OH MY FUCKING GOD

i've been studying greek, roman, gothic architecture for days.

oh wait, you're replying to me.

dude your tower there is too fucking cool

can you please make a thread or something about what you know and have learned? about your general process? like do you make smaller structures in 3ds and then assemble in unreal? or is it all in 3ds?

dude this is cool shit, i will consume as many words and as much content as you're willing to create here about your architecture, i check /3/ like, once an hour every single day until school starts, please elaborate.

>>546170
dude calm down, I've just been doing research on the internet and combined elements from gothic and baroque architecture that I found visually appealing.
If you don't have pinterest then make one and use it in combination with google to look shit up and learn from it.
Also, I'm using maya for hard surface modeling and zbrush for sculpted ornaments, which you cannot see in the render because my pc shits itself if I load them into the scene.
Any 3d sofware will work since game assets don't require that much precision anyway.
Good luck anyway, it's nice to see someone else liking and making fine architecture.

Looks good but a few nit-picks: The edge wear is a little much. Not every single edge is going to be worn to metal. Also, the fuze system/primer doesn't seem to make much sense, like the lever is locked in place even if you pull the pin.

Yeah, I personally don't like the edge wear, the concept had some errywhere. I frankly am not sure what to do with "sci-fi" metals, I have a much easier time representing modern-day stuff but there's a couple typical scifi materials I haven't found any good references for yet (real world or from other texture artists).

And I totally derped on the pin and was too far in to bother fixing it when I realized, you're right.
