Iron man 1 came out in 2008 didn't it?
Anyways I lost that thing but it was a crappy attempt at an ironman model back when I first watched that movie and downloaded blender, I also made an intro for my brother's runescape dedicated youtube channel, Ill see if I can find that
Then downloaded zbrush and fucked aroubd with it, then I abandonned 3d modelling for 5 years until I was 18 and started architecture college

Ill post some recent stuff when I get on my computer

And most recent thing I (relatively) finished.
I was also shit last year, though you fuckers are probably gonna say I'm shit now too.

>>557994
This is honestly good progress, especially if you're a complete noob. I would recommend looking up tutorials on modern rendering or videogame asset production (pirate them if you must), they will teach you some good shit, so you can start making better textures and more complex models.

>>558012
Yeah I just googled textures to use. But thanks, I realize I still have a lot to learn but I'm starting to see where detail can be improved each time.

>>558011
The verticality in the framing makes my dick rock hard

>>558021
Nothing wrong with using google images as a base for textures, I honestly used to do it all the time (though now that I'm working on game assets I prefer to use Substance Painter + Designer). You can honestly do a lot with photo textures and custom tuning in Photoshop to generate your different maps (most of the big boys work that way).

And no stress, I'm just suggesting avenues to explore. I mean, you just started so it's obvious your work isn't gonna be perfect, so you don't need to be humble about it. Any improvement is good improvement, but since you seem to have a good grasp of basic modeling I'm suggesting textures and shit cause they'll give you the right tools to start making design decisions later on.

>>558029
i appreciate the guidance in a very "counter-4chan" rhetorical style. Ive noticed slower boards are way more laid back.
Normally Id have been called a candy-ass roody-poo by now

>>558031
Eh, the value of the feedback can be good regardless of tone. It honestly cracks me up when people give perfectly good critique while simultaneously calling the artist a retard. The only thing you gotta look for is the "why", if someone calls you a fucker but explains exactly why then it's pretty much useful critique. Conversely people can be both polite or extremely rude yet post extremely meaningless comments.

Pic related is roughly where I started from. Didn't remember much apart from hotkeys.
They're in some sort of chronological order.
Moon thing being the earliest I've got, sunset the latest.

Nice progress, but this retro-90s stuff is getting pretty tiresome. You clearly have talent, so you should branch out and try to be more original.

>>558998
Small world. Thanks man.

>>559194
I make it because I want to, not because of any fads or anything. It's an aesthetic that I like to explore in different ways. It's more entertaining for me to make something like this than something generic like archvis or characters.
I am trying to evolve it into something more my own though. It's less about the 80s for me and more about the feeling of travel and driving in the middle of the night.

I'll probably lose steam with it when I finally do that large animation I've been planning to make for a while. Nothing too long, just like 2-3 mins. After that, I'll probably be fed up with it.

>>558061
thanks mate, good to hear, it's just about having the ability to see the finished product and be happy with progress. too many people are content with sub-par scenes, you gotta push each as far as you can go.

Some damn good stuff in this thread. I don't really post here, but I do like to come here for inspiration. It's nice to see the progress some of you have made on this board.

I have mostly been doing product mockups as of late for my clients. I mostly just mock up packaging, labels and the like for stuff I design for clients, nothing really exciting as far as modeling and rendering go. Other than that, I have been creatively out of it for a couple months.

Thanks, yeah, it was all done over the course of two weeks (in my free time).

All of it is relatively simple, it's lighting and textures that are important for making something look good (and neither are prefect here but eh, you're always learning).

damn son i just got tumescent

I've been going through some posts on /r/blender. Guys...

https://www.reddit.com/r/blender/

After seeing some of the first renders people have made, now I feel like I should just quit. Check out that low poly thingy. That guy spent first two hours in his first 3D program and made that shit. I made a similar looking thing, but after a month, and hours of tutorials to be able to achieve the nice diffuse lighting.

Then check this first render:

https://www.reddit.com/r/blender/comments/6bn9sp/i_made_this_album_cover_in_blender_and_photoshop/

I mean, I know this is toxic behavior and I'm comparing myself too much with other people, but I can't help it. I mean, compared to stuff I've seen there, both my and most of the stuff on this board are a piece of shit. How do you deal with this?

>>564882
the lowpoly thingy is just primitives stacked ontop of eachother

the other render is nice, but im almost certain that he is lying if he is saying its his first render.
don't believe to everything people say on the internet

>>564882
if you know who ryan kingslien is then youll know his quote about being 'in the valley of the SUCK' everyone starts there. everyones been there. hell most still slip back into it on a regular basis. just dont give up and keep wrking at it.

>>564882
If you're going to quit because other people are better then you, then go ahead and quit, because there will ALWAYS be people better than you.

Or, realize that with effort, time, and work you can be that good, and eventually even better. Don't view it as "o shit they're better than me", view it as "o shit I have something to work towards. I wanna be as good as that guy."

>>564882

Pic related is my first render I did completely alone ( just did some youtube tutorials prior )

I'm 1 week in now and want to get more indepth, especially in game asset creating as I know my current poly count would be way too high because of the subdivide.

So again, if you could point me to some resources i'd be grateful. I've no problem with torrenting either so it doesn't matter if it costs or not

>>565446
This reminds me I have to actually start modeling things. I began learning a couple of months ago but fell into rendering/lighting/texturing hole while ignoring modeling stage. Don't even know what I am capable.

>>565446
well is suppose you need need to know how to model/UV unwrap.

i would say try to model things like screwdrivers,sunglasses, coil telephone.
and generally stuff that has complex shapes.
if you don't test your limits you gonna be stuck making shit like the rest of /3/

>>565454
oh and about the tutorials.

there are plenty of tutorials online. if you want a full game asset workflow you need something like this

>It was my first attempt at 3D art xD
If they say this, then it means it's absolutely not the first. It's like those chicks who make like 300 pictures in the bathroom and then post the best one as "lol just a quick daily pic" on snapchat. I mean the first model will be a fucking barrel or a mutated humanoid with a overused smoothing modifier or something. First 3D object and they're able to instantly have correct topology, correct UV map, know how to texture and apply materials correctly? That knowledge from just one session? Yeah, no. Maybe it's the first completely finished 3D art they've made after weeks or even months of learning through unfinished work.

Stop comparing yourself to others all the time you insecure fag, but instead learn from others and get gud as good as you can.

what do you need tips with? You seem to have knowledge of bevels, remember to add them also on the trigger/etc. You should add bevels on all detailed edges, even if they're to be 1 mmm, or at least use crease

Maybe it's a meme, but now that I'm looking at it, it's possible that it is actually legit.

That face clearly fails in some areas and it doesn't really look professional, although a helmet looks decent.

Maybe he just watched a shitton of tutorials and spent a lot of time learning the fundamentals before commiting to a bigger project.

That's what I'm also doing instead of figuring things on my own, so there is a lot of handholding at first, but I, as a novice, can actually produce way better results than those people who just cry how bad they are, even though it's clear they didn't even bother using references or learning from someone knowledgeable.

Seriously, go through some good 20 hour long project based course from Gnomon, Gumroad or wherever, and you'll be amazed what you can achieve. After that, "first" legit project by you won't be that bad at all. Who you are learning from makes a huge difference.
