Still looking for feedback :(

>>553938
you should use tonemapping like andwew pwice said

>>553938
needs more dynamic range, if you're in blender then https://youtu.be/m9AT7H4GGrA

also bevels on hard corners and subtle textures. the cupboard doors would be made of several pieces nailed / glued together but i presume it's supposed to be painted so put some painted wood normals on it, like a subtle stucco i guess.

>>553939
Not sure who that is, but you think the image is over exposed?

overall there is no point in going lowpoly for a still life scene.
you should learn how to add bevels and patterns to things, even if its entirely procedural (vray or what have yo)

no using f-20 thanks for the video, never knew about dynamic range before.

>>553950
the only thing textured in this image is the tiles, I textured it because the last time I asked for feedback someone suggested I make the tiles less uniform. everything else is gray while I'm still modeling. I'm very capable of texturing it's just not a priority right now, nor is detail, I'll add that later.

>>553948

>ugly pattern on the bowl

I agree, its what i had to hand

>bowl is tilted for some reason?

Design choice, its that kind of bowl. Mug is in the way though, will move things and put fruit or something in the bowl.

>camera too close for the items
>the closet item should usually be most detailed one

Will be finished as an amateur or no-effort table photograph, not as a if its high quality 3D or a professional photograph. everything does need a shuffle though. no real reason for doing this just feel like it.

>noise

WIP

>scene is bland because too many assets share the same color or there are low amount of assets to begin with

Fair, But WIP

>no interesting attractions like dust,fingerprints,logo's

This is a WIP thread

>post effects like depth of field and film filter should help these type of scenes

Still a WIP thread, depth blur will be off the chain though.


Thanks for the C+C, hope to receive more when its further along.

>>553953
didn't expect the scene to be finished neither claimed you should be professional.
just giving you overall advice.
i should have separated my advice to 2 parts, the first would be photography and the other for 3d in general.

>>553946
Add a defuse pattern to the bowl or at least make it not white, same with the mugs. also this is a coffee table right? as strange as it sounds you would't have a coffee strainer on the table you'd have it in the kitchen. things need dirt.

>>553954

I wasn't throwing shade, just saying why they are they way they are right now. also not sure if i made it clear, i'm actively trying to avoid a well composed scene.

>>553955

finished my acoustic, i just can't find a way to inset the proper logo so i left it black. i need a proper font but since the guitar logo is hand lettered the font does not exist

>>553959
Why is the fourth string bending so weirdly. Also the entire things looks way too clean, needs some finger/handprints on the smooth parts, more color variation, bit dusty/lighter here and there, maybe a few light scratches near the hole, edges and on the tuning pegs depending on how new the guitar is, imagine what the guitar goes through in time. Also the roughness of the materials and especially the metal seem off. Take a look at some high resolution pictures of real guitars and look for minute details, guitars are not completely perfect, especially when handcrafted.

>>553959
The wood grain on the guitar is fucking horrible.
The body's grain should be rotated like 90 degrees.
The lines go vertical, not horizontal.

Plus it should be a lot more subtle, and polished.

>>553959
>>553969
loos fine to me. pic related.
agree with >>553959
its well done. looks like a stock image tho. add some spec maps and place ist in a nice setting with some sweet light and use some DOF. would love to see some details.

pic related. this is how i add small detail. but i rendered it again and you see nothing. it would only matter if i did some closeups.
still working on it and ill post update in the future, if you want to see some of the nodes ill post them here.
btw stuff like dirt,age,fingerprints etc is possible but im have the feeling this detail won't be so visible apart from the color variation. this guitar is supposed to be mint anyway so is there a point is bruising it?

>>553986
Sure. But I never said I was well organized.

If I had to sum up the workflow for these tiles, I'd say what's the most important is using various slope blurs to deform the edges, blending a warped voronoi mosaic into the height to create layered cracks, and relying a lot on curvature + AO + Dirt gen. Also good lighting helps tons with showcasing your materials.

I've been trying to get some type of animatable physics based car rig going for Blender. I was asking questions in the QTDDTOT thread, just in case anyone had tried to do the same and had some tips, but I haven't gotten anything.

In any case, I've been making progress with it, and I've decided to post it here instead, seeing how I'm not really asking questions.

Right now I'm working on getting some inertia based movement going. It's been pretty hard, due to the fact that any documentation is nonexistent, and the one decent tutorial has been taken down because the dude decided to just sell the rig for $400 instead.
I'm using a cloth sim on a cube to influence the motion of the car body. It's not too bad, I just have to fuck around with the settings until I get something believable going. Right now it's just wrong.
Any tips or anything would be fucking useful. I've been stumbling around in the dark pretty much.

1MB, 1080x606px

>>554013
I know I just posted, but I've made some progress that might work out better than the cloth sim.
I took the same principle and used a jiggle bone instead.
The adjustments are a lot more realistic, than the springy mess before. And on the plus side, it even simulates body roll as well.

The webm shows how the jiggle bone rig works, just in case you're curious.
Basically, the jiggle bone is parented to a cube, and another cube is parented to 3 vertices from the jiggly cube. 2 on the bottom, and one on the opposite side on the top. Then a "child of" constraint is used on the bone that controls the vehicle's body on the vehicle rig.

I don't know if anyone really needs this info, but hopefully it'll help someone.

>>554015
Why not make texture planes for the hands for the low LoD so that you can keep them at the same time as the high LoD?

>>554019
That is so much better than your first attempt. Does the body fall back to a neutral position after accelerating? It's hard to tell from that webm. I don't use Blender so idk if it's possible, but can you set a value for the jiggle amount? Then tie that value to anim curves so that it's only active when an acceleration value is increasing.

>>554021
Yeah it does go back to a neutral position after acceleration/deceleration.
The jiggle bone is an addon, but yeah, I'm able to tune the parameters of the effect. It's pretty touchy though, small adjustments have a pretty big effect. I can try to tie it to some type of driver like you said maybe that will help.

Theres a bunch of fine tuning that I need to do for the whole rig, though. I'm happy with the way the physics work. I'll probably make some sort of tutorial on how to set something like this up, because there isn't a ton of information for something like this.

Trying to make a little Japanese room, any tips on laying out UV's walls like this? I'm really bad at it but worse yet, I have no reference as to what is an "acceptable" UV mapping of a hard surface.

I don't know if I should try to keep the UVs sewn together to keep the shape cohesive or if it's okay to split all the parts to maximize UV map area, if it's okay to overlap the parts based on material (all the wood parts to one side, dry wall to the other) or if overlapping is a sin and everything needs its own space, I just don't know.

Recessed in bits are dry wall filling, columns are wooden beams. Don't worry about the doors and little slide-y window looking things, and the grid covering the window in the back, those are supposed to be separate actors and will have their own maps.

but muh filmic blender

>>554121
The sheer act of making a scene natural will blow your 8 stops of range unless you resort to unnatural tricks like adding additional lights or environment lighting.

Just start off with a larger dynamic range so you can boost lights to realistic brightness values from the get go.

(not my model. Using it to learn animation/fuck with lighting)

>tfw you call yourself an animator but can't pull off a simple run cycle
W E W L A D

Also, I thought what I needed was spec highlights on the hair, but in reality I'm pretty close to the look I'm going for with this.
I'd just need to do some minor lighting and texture changes, plus change up my animation style a bit to mimic the bottom left square of this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtpvIWV94Sk
(00:15-00:30

Only thing is, once I get there I'd be completely stuck on how to get to the bottom right square.
Is that all just post effects? Looks like it to me, but I'm unsure of how I'd even do that.
It looks like everything is "glowing", but I haven't the faintest idea how to accomplish that in a vfx software like AE or nuke, even though I'm reasonably experienced with those programs.
Anyone have any advice on how to achieve this?

I'm also assuming I'd have to draw in the line work by hand, because Cinema 4D doesn't give you that much control over the lines, which is pretty gay.

Hope this looks better.

A few general things. Her mouth is set too low and her nose is too long and low. And her jaw is pretty narrow for a non-anime character. The lips are also too wide but I didn't really fix it. Probably made it worse with the poor paint over.

And for a female, her mouth is too wide, her upper lips are too large (unless you like that bimbo look), her brow is too heavy, the top of her nose bridge is too wide (her nose has a v-shape).

I also added a head with some terrible eyeliner and eyebrows.

You might also want to reconsider her hair, as women tend to have a smaller forehead, meaning a tighter hairline.

How will I maintain the pivot around the pins if I combine the meshes?

>>554316
you should extend the grip and turn it into a 2 handed sword.
When modelling random concepts i wouldn't worry too much about sticking exactly to the concept. follow the main shapes and ideas, but don't worry about minutiae. A lot of concept artists don't spend enough time thinking about the physical form of the shapes they draw from a single angle, which is probably why a lot of people who try to start 3D after years of drawing 2D struggle to conceptualise the shapes they want.

>>554358
What the hell is a pin? You skin the combined mesh to joints, and paint the skin weights 100% influence to the parent joint for that segment. What game engine are you using that has 'pins' to rig a character?

You have anatomy problems. I'm not that knowledgeable at facial structure myself, but if you're trying to make cute girls there should be some videos on youtube that talk about "cute" anatomical proportions. Also don't be afraid to post on /ic/, they should help even if it's not 2d since it's anatomy-related.

One thing I can think of right away is the "triangle of cuteness". In cute characters, if you draw a triangle connecting the eyes and the mouth, the sides of that triangle should be close to equidistant. Your is elongated, which hints at more mature or noble features, yet the rest of your design is based around cute proportions (small nose, very large eyes) which leads to some weird dissonance.

>>554366
Have you never rigged anything mechanical? You can see in the pins in the picture, it's a reference object used as a point of rotation like an actual joint in a machine.

>>554357
>>554367
^This. Couldn't say it better myself. In fact I was going to mention something I picked up from /ic/, one anon once pointed out having the eyes of your characters lower on the skull shows adolescents moreso than a more mature lanky proportioned face. I can't seem to find a image that was posted with that comment about it, but I'll post pic related to show the latter. The more mature the character looks, the longer the head will be.

>>554372
yeah, in a rig, that's known as a joint. The difference between rigging an organic form and a machine, is, as i've said twice now, each segment of a mechanic rig, is weighted to a joint 100% so it has no deformation. if you were to leave the segments separate you'd just parent the segment to a joint. a 'pin' isn't a tool/node in 3D rigging.

>>554295
Hard surface is machinery, rigid surfaces, etc. Organic modeling is smooth, fleshy/organic things. I agree with the other anon - look into subdivision modeling, if you sculpt the head you'd be getting way too many polys and it wouldn't look as "clean" as your drawing. See pic related - hard surface. Sculpting, AFAIK, is mostly (not exclusively) done for characters or vegetation.

I've got a few problem areas:
-Why is the fluted glass like that at the top of the stem (triangles)?
-Why is the base of the fluted glass so dark?
-Why is the right icon so transparent, and the rim of the glass so dark?
-Why are the shadows almost non-existent? It kind of looks like they're hovering in air.

Almost everything you're complaining about stems from lighting issues, there's nothing wrong with your materials.

Lighting is just as important as shaders/textures and a lot of people seem not to realize this. Compare your picture to commercial photography of glassware and take note of what these people are doing that's missing from your render.

There's a ton of ways to light glass (like all other products), so much that I wouldn't know where to start with pointers, but I can tell you to think about a mix of directional (hard) and bounced (soft) lights, and how to use them. (Just start by trying to copy a lighting setup from a ref).

I'm very new to rendering (as opposed to modeling), so I haven't really got a good idea of what I'm doing. I followed a little tutorial on how to add engravings to glass, and it showed me how to set up two-point lighting. I know I need to learn how to do that more but frankly am a bit unsure where exactly to start with it.

I know the reflections are a bit dim, but the tutorial rendered them out separately and added them in GIMP; I don't know if that's "how it's done" or if it's a workaround. I also know I need to add imperfections such as scratches or smudges, otherwise the image looks too perfect and "wrong".

Thanks for the suggestions, though.

>>554796
The rig actually wasn't really meant for this one.
I planned on doing more loops/animations with cars and decided to get something working I can use for them.

There's a large (like 3 min) animation that I plan on doing in the summer, so I want to get as much as I can out of the way as far as preparation goes. The car rig was part of that.

Student version is free for a year. And you can renew.

I honestly didn't feel like pirating or buying it, and they practically threw a license at me. Substance designer, painter, the works.
3ds Max does this too. A bunch of 3d programs as well, like Terragen.

Look into it, if you're a student I think it's better than the hassle of pirating it.

please don't use emission planes. use actual light.

go to your lamp node and add light falloff, there is a tutorial explaining it.
and don't render from the interior, you only need a floor

>>554883
I can't seem to find a solid argument why I should use one over the other (and I'm not dead-set on either, as well). Some people say use point lights because they emit in every direction and so are good for ambient lighting; others say use emission planes because they give more even and natural lighting such as from a window etc.

I'll try your way as well, though.

>>554884
people don't know what they are talking about.
light falloff means you the light don't scatter everywhere and you get glare which is essential.
if you want to emulate a window take a plane and make some cuts it in for light to pass through

>>554855

i think the room looks fine but kind of boring and the render is grainy.

>What's your specialty?
I'm graphic design. I don't really use 3d in my design work, but I do 3d for fun outside of classwork.

>>554878
Yeah I just took a photo of my school ID and they took it fine.
I don't think they actually check if you still go. I know 3ds sent a product key within 5 minutes of sending. Substance was like 30mins.
I'd just try it. Worst case is you don't get it.

>>554884
I use a combination of both.

Point and sun lamps for specific areas where I want lights.
Maybe the ocassional spot. I find it hard to get really sharp shadows with emission planes, so this is a good reason to use lamps.

If I want even lighting over a large area I'll use a large emission plane.
Or if I want some wild effect on the sky or reflections, I'll map a gradient to an emission plane. You can't really do that easily with lamps.

There's things you can do with both that you can't do with one or the other. It's dependent on the scene how to go about it.

Use all the tools given to you, don't gimp yourself because some people favor one over the other.

the most annoying issue i was having is sometimes when i'm sculpting i would get holes in the mesh that would just grow and grow every time i tried to sculpt over them. i think i can cover them in retopology, but they are still troublesome for me (you can't see them in the pic b/c i filled them with n-gons in edit mode).

Just a test render of the animation to see how things are working together.
I've only been really been working on the scene from still renders, so this is my first time actually seeing the thing in motion apart from just the viewport. There's some things that need to be changed.

Sound version here >>>/wsg/1583809 (You)
It doesn't loop with the song as well as I'd hoped, but that's a problem with the frame rate. I don't have as fine control trimming a 30fps video as I would with a 60fps video.
The audio loops perfectly at 60fps, but I'm not really a fan of the motion for the video. It's too smooth, makes everything seem fake (it's 3d, but still)

>>554976
>Why is the car motion blurred?
It's probably just an error with how I went about doing the motion blur. I didn't want to sit around with the regular mblur, so I just used a directional blur in post. It works fine since everything is flowing in one direction, but I had to mask out the car on a separate scene and I guess there were some inconsistencies.

>>554978
I don't mean to dismiss your crit or anything (because I do appreciate it), but I think the cars are fine as far as the brightness goes.
I do agree about the god rays, I think where I have them aimed makes it seem a little too much, I can target them upwards a bit and make them shorter. The road can be darker as well.

>what methods did you use to make that btw?
I assume you're asking about the god rays.
Pic related may help (though I do admit it's a fucking mess).

Essentially, I just used the "Sun Beams" node. It's as simple as that. Though I had to use an ID mask to get only the sun, or the whole scene would be effected. I just copied the sun streaks on both the ID mask and the sun so it blends properly into the image.

>>554963 He's too flat. Almost like a super detailed gingerbread man. Don't neglect the base curvature of the body. Curving the back a bit is not enough.
You might be salvage some of it by introducing that general curvature in the torso and legs, but that would get you so far.

And back to the details: that muscle definition feels like pasted on, doesn't define the form of the body at all. I suggest you first nail down, block out the basic proportions, then build the muscle definition on that basis. But never forget that muscles aren't just pasted onto the body, they are what definte the form, built on the skeleton. And that's what feels lacking in your sculpt. A properly built skeleton.

Proportins are off: hand and fingers are way too small, the head is way too big for example. Torso proportions are odd too. In general it's an unfortunate middle ground between cartoonis proportions and intended realistic details.

Anyhow: have you studied anatomy? Havi g a few images doesn't count. You need to understand the structure of our body to be able to reproduce it properly. I suggest you look up the Gottfried Bammes anatomy books and study the shit out of them. Admittedly, almost all of them are in german, but going through the images only will be very helpful, becues the guy analyzes the crap out of our bodies and constructs it.

i used the skin modifier as a base (i was trying to copy the max puljieros video) then i sculpted on top of it

i'm studying anatomy right now, but i've only studied the torso and face so far, not the arms and legs. also sculpting the anatomy in 3d is a technical hurdle for me too besides just a knowledge one because i don't have much experience sculpting. often i feel like i'm struggling to get the tools to do what i want them to and not fuck up. but i guess that will come with practice. so, thanks for the critique, i think i'm going to start a new sculpt instead of messing around with this one more. i've heard of the bammes book but it's like $80 i think and i don't have the money for it right now

>>555020
I'd say, you should start from the larger picture to get the general picture. Then go to the body parts in isolation. Then go back to the whole picture to piece the thing together.

And yeah, learning the tool and the topic at the same time can be frustrating for sure. But keep it up and be consistent and conscious, and you will get there.

Nah no sweat mang. I usually get attacked when posting here.

Yeah it's a pretty phat bake, thiqq edges on the high poly. Also it's just a screen grab in Subpainter 2, so moving nice light around and turning on shadows works. Also for this one I put it into orthographic view, which I rarley ever do, but I like it.

Hey guys, I'm a complete noob, literally started a few days ago. I'm following this course:

https://www.digitaltutors.com/learningpath/105-Quick-Start-to-Modeling-in-3ds-Max

Pic related is my first 3d model, don't know how good this is. I have no idea what could be improved. Feel free to shatter my dreams and hopes. I just went through first 10 videos by Arrimus 3D before starting this, so I was still learning all the tools while creating it.

Just wanted to ask if you think it's good to continue following this course. I'm just a bit worried when I see that character model. I don't want to learn bad habits, that's all.

Even if you don't like the look of the character, it will teach you different modelling ideas, so that you don't need to focus so much on the character, but the ideas.

Also your dumpster is fine, You should try making it a high poly with turbosmooth and the likes as a skill booster.

A dumpster is also on of the first things I made and I'm in the industry now so it's a great start in my eyes senpai.

Front of a Train I'm working on for a project.

>>555143
Normally I would say not to redo the entire Devon Fay alleyway from scratch. There's no point seeing as the tutorial doesn't cover the making-of "part by part" and it's such a big scene the effort would be better spent doing something of your own you could put in a portfolio afterwards.

>>555174
Cacievra is that you?

>>555174
Is it supposed to look kinda organic?

>>555183
yeah, the project is inspired by H.R. Giger

>>555184
Oh, I guess it looks okay then. But you have some waviness in the geometry that I don't really get. Giger had more well defined geometry that fused machine-like objects with the organic hard surfaces like bones.

Your thing kinda resembles a skull with stuff embedded in it. That stuff I get, the strange surface details you have going on seem ill-defined though. Like on the top it looks like you just left accidental marks all over it. I'd say it's probably because soft geometry doesn't look that good when used for small-medium sized details. Looks fine for fine details that create an overall texture, like pores on human skin, but not like this.

You could check out Nihei's older works, like Abara. He does a good job at making mechanical looking objects using familiar organic shapes and he's made a lot of good designs. It's not quite like Giger but it might be more relevant for what you're trying here.

>>555185
Yeah, One of the problems I have with Zbrush is when you append geometry like the hard surface stuff it doesn't really take too well to being played around with. I'm going to transfer into 3D Coat so I can really start making the machinery look like it's growing out of the actual skull itself.

No, it's not. Bevel your fucking edges. It's repeated so often that it sounds like a meme at this point, yet so much shit is posted here completely unbeveled. Why do people act like it's an optional step? It's one of the most fundamental aspects of making convincing 3D artwork.

>>555266
Not that guy but related: How would I bevel edges after a subdivision? It looks like if I bevel before where I have control over them, the surface gets smoothed and/or looks like this; if I bevel after, then there's an absurd amount of errors since I think subdivision screws up weighting. Is it possible to have it be in the modifier stack at all times, or do I have to just bite the bullet and apply it?

>>555281
you don't bevel in subd. subd modeling is a skill just like regular modeling.
you have people making guns in subd, crazy as it seems. you need to figure out how add loops and manipulate verts accordingly

Hell yeah man. It's a bitch to make right?. Very strange design.

Also you don't need to do much sculpting if you want, just drag the reference photos into photoshop and trace over the details, then produce and alpha with that, import into sub painter and use it as a mask.

>>555367
>>555366

Make sure you set the camera to the same fov as the reference or you might run into some issues. Also always count the steps on the ladders.

It's pretty good so far.

It's looking great and I love the concept, I'd love to see it finished. In terms of proportions I'd say the narrower stairs are too narrow and steep, the doorway on the bottom floor might be a bit too wide. The top floor looks like it needs to come down a little bit, but it might be partly perspective/shadows that are making it look different than the concept.

>>555414
Damn, nice
>>555450
A lot of them are like that, yeah.

I just started this little animation today, end product will be a docking/airlock sequence. Lots of work to be done on it throughout the week.

>>554116
I'd recommend you split your UV snapshot in half. One half will be covered by a wood texture, the other half by a dry wall texture.

As for laying UVs together or separating them, it depends on the level of details in your texture. If the dry wall is just a solid color for instance, it's fine to unitize the UVs for those parts. As soon as you start seeing patterns though, it's time to separate the UV shells.

Also recommend you bevel those edges, even if you're taking this to an engine. They look really sharp and that's causing the wooden beams to not mesh well with the dry wall.

What kind of boat is this?
What reference?

Your cannons and everything seem really spaced out on the lower part of the hull. If the ship is meant for combat, I'd assume they'd try to use as much space as possible for cannons and shit. Ships this size can easily have like 60 guns on a side.
The rear cannons are really low, but I guess it makes some sense for a tall ship.

I don't know, the whole thing seems really out of proportion.
It looks good, but it just off-putting for some reason.

How do blender and modo compare to Max for a complete workflow? Modeling, texture, rig, animation, etc.

Looking for cheaper options that hopefully have more updates in their future

Cheers mate, I hadn't touched 3D whatsoever before October 2015 so I guess it's around 18 months at this point.

I only use Youtube tutorials, I started a digital tutors one when I got a free subscription, but turned it off after 20 minutes and went back to Youtube.. so much better imo. Obviously Google too and the various forums which come from that, but that's all.

I have a lot of free time luckily, so I've been able to spend upwards of 12 hours a day sometimes on learning, but that wouldn't have been possible without 3D being consistently my favourite way to spend time. I think that's the key over anything.. I don't think you can be half-into it, if you wanna make real progress.

>>555576
nise to see such progress man. I also started mid Dec 2015, now I'm doing my first full character, and I also studied from internet, but I have almost no time because of jobs :< there were some months that I have not touched 3d,
but my progress is also cool, I lean to Character modeling/Zbrush/stylized stuff,. would you suggest any other interet community, besides of this related to this subject?... because I'm posting only here and Instagram, I'd be happy to get normal suggestions, critics, directions...

>>555577
At least you have jobs, just do the best you can with your time right, make sure you don't burn yourself out :D I'm fortunate about my position, but if I was working full-time I wouldn't be anywhere near the level I'm at currently.

I only post here and reddit.. Both of which are usually pretty good with critique, but you might want to look at Polycount too, that seems like the most active community desu.

regarding reddit though, try r/3dmodeling - r/3dma - r/blender(or maya, or 3dsmax)
