But seriously, lookin pretty good. Try bundling the hair and going for a more natural hair sway.

Hey, Pastebin owner, change the livestream link to the way I have it. It's counted as spam by 4chan in the regular form

>>22600859
>>22600863

I'm considering getting involved at some point.

Any chance I could use Maya instead of Blender?

>>22600859
B-b-b-butts?

>>22600908
I'm not sure how Blender rigs port to Maya, but you can try. That'd be great if you can get everything fixed for Maya to work too.

SOMEONE PLS MAKE RD'S NEW DESIGN PIC RELATED

>>22600928
mk, I dont have much time rn, but once im through these next two weeks I should have much more free time.

I'd have to learn my around the new programs and learn the terminology, but after that I should be good to help with converstions.
If you know any other programs that colleges might give out for free that you need rigged up let me know and I'll look into downloading it.

>>22600948

SEE YOU NEXT THREAD KTHXBAI

It doesn't even deserve a reply, guys.

>>22600972
Ideally, you would want Blender and GIMP. They're both free and get the job done. Photoshop would be better, but for simple things, gimp is great.

>>22601008
I've got the CC ready to go, so thats something.

I haven't used blender but I really dont like GIMP.

Ive been using PS for years and I just cant go down like that.

>>22601031
I-I'm not alone! Photoshopfagging for life. Do you also have Ae, Pr, and Au?

>>22601070
The entire fucking shebang.

$15 a month was too good to pass up. And I'm a whore when it comes to getting legit licenses.

>>22600898

>>22600908
>>22600928
If you can get them perfectly ported into Maya and back, that'd be fantastic. We've been waiting since thread 3 or so for someone to pull that off.waiting

Can someone make something cute? I'm a poor sod that's really down on my luck as of late. Perhaps seeing something made for me might help raise my spirits.

I'm not going to linger so I can't go into details.

>>22601085
Mkay, I'll begin looking into it.

What kind of problems should I expect. Just rigs breaking? Or something more?

>>22601082
Oh my fucking god. How good is your computer? Will you be able to lown render time for Ae if the time comes up?

>>22601123
Sure man.

>>22601131
Very noice. You have element 3D and Trapcode Particular?

>>22601144
Nothing at all. I'll need instructions if you want me to accelerate processes like that.

Consider me green as can be for the time being.


>pic related
this is my rig. There are none like it and it is mine.

>>22601166
Just what the fuck do you do!? Particle Physics simulation?

Any Dazzlings being made?

>>22601166
Oh shit. This is the perfect place to put that to work. You should've seen our renderfarm set-up for 3Danon's project.

>>22601219
They're AMD cards, they actually cannot help us at all. His processor on the other hand...

>>22601166
to add, I'll be very good at uninvolved workloads. As I'm swamped with work for the time being and will be for at least 2 weeks.

And I have an internship this summer, so I'm not sure how much I'll be able to do then.

>>22601211
Gaymen :^) well... I used too... Fucking labs.

>>22601219
Yea sure. Just email me me jobs and details and I'll be able to queue them up once I get back to my dorm tomorrow.

Visiting my folks right now.

>>22601246
Post pics.

Looks like I'll be the resident /g/entleman.

>>22601262
yes then can. OpenCL/GL mean anything to you?

>>22601273
He's not wrong about the power, but Its more the time I have that's good.

And wtf program are you using that doesnt respect the Open standards?

Mercury Graphics Engine supports GCN

>>22601273
Major bummer. I guess Ae would be good though.

>>22601273
why the delete?

>>22601211
his rig actually isn't that powerful, its only an i5 and the 2 7950's are generation old upper mid-range cards

>>22601219
>>22601246
he could help with rendering, but his cards are useless(AMD)

>>22601296
no renderers for blender have openCL support, mainly due to driver issues from AMD

>>22601324
deleted because 4chan messed up post linking

>>22601296
It looks like hell now, but imagine a row of frames needed, frames render being updated, and all that good stuff.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1y364Tp-NICRSRU3E2joPybuE0uh-pFu9BqDjR_1oj50/edit#gid=0

>>22601296
Blender doesn't use OpenCL for rendering (other than on old test builds that they abandoned), but you can use OpenCL on post processing, which doesn't help all that much.

>>22601361
I was looking to use Ae and Maya.

As I was talking about earlier, I may be able to help port rigs into Maya if I get the chance to learn the workings of the program and the workflow required to do so.

not looking to start a circle jerk so I'll just ignore the Nvidia shilling.


>>22601376
Holy fuck man. How can people use something like that?

I'm on Win8.1 BTW. So I guess I'm going to have a lot of fun trying to get Blender not to be a massive pile of dogshit outside of Unix. dogshit being a relative term

>>22601362
Oh my sweet Jesus.

So, just add name and rig specs to list?

>>22601376
Yea, I use the MGE for PP on Pr. It mostly uses the CPU which is kind of a bitch.

I'll remove the OC to get you guys better quality. I've noticed that it has a tendency to create artifacts in some workloads.
General Question:

Anyone know of any programs that support QuickSync encoding? Shit's fucking fast with OBS. Looks like Hell, but fucking fast.

>>22601362
>looks like hell now
bitch, dafuq did you just say about my toucans?

>>22601531
No, that was a month back. But yeah, if we are ever rendering a large project, it will most likely be set up this way. Rendering device(s) (GPU or CPU), Name for thread, and then either you take frames from the 'frame pile' or 3Danon allocates some, depending on rendering device power.

>>22601531
That sheet is retired, you would add yourself to whatever new one someone makes

>>22601590
>>22601583

Okay. Got it.

>>22601568
le toucan?

I fucking love animating.

>>22601531
Why not use ffmpeg for encoding? It gives you a bunch of codecs and lets you encode image sequences. Other than that, I wouldn't recommend streaming codecs that go more for speed than quality.

we /g/ now.

Alright, so for the time being, I guess my rig is mostly useful for Adobe and OpenCL/GL workloads.

>>22601683
ffmpeg is slow as fucking ass compared to MGE. And it has less features than the Adobe Media Encoder.

>>22601705
FUCK OFF FREETARD NVIDOIT SHILL.

>>22601718
Jesus.

>>22601760
take the wheel~

>>22601705
>>22601718
>>22601760

/g/ is not a great board

>>22601718
As I said, ffmpeg favors quality over speed. Everything I've encoded with MGE has interlacing issues, and they don't support open source codecs.

>>22601718
>>22601782
Also to correct myself, MGE works great for the final file, not for when you're trying to share production shots with the threads using WebMs

>>22601782
I've had the opposite experience. And I'm not sure what you mean anon. I render webMs in Pr all the time.

>>22601782
>leave bitrate setting out
>compression murders the video quality

>>22601812
hmmm.

Wish I was at school. I'd send you some sample files I have that I made for the win10 thread on /g/

>>22601778
its fucking trash dog. I love it.

>>22601778
But damn. >>22601718 seems pretty angry over nothing.

>>22601531
wasn't nvidia shilling, I own 3 290x's
I am however mad at the blender developers for completely abandoning openCL

>>22601848
welcome to /g/ I'm pretty sure that was his joke

>>22601848
Very much this. Can we not turn this into a hardware thing and instead make it a "everyone come together and render horses as a team" thing?

>>22601848
Havent been to /g/ have you lol

>>22601866
I know man. Dont worry. I live that struggle daily.

>>22601882
this guy gets it.

>>22601883
Wasnt my intention.

If I may speak for the other /g/ peeps, we're talentless hacks waiting for work.

Kinda like the IT department.

>>22601903
Well we'll need any help we can get. Once the project is done and the project files are distributed, we all choose a shot and render it. Best computers choose biggest files, laptops and consoles choose smaller files.

>>22601952
Like I said, I've got nothing but time.

On that note, how's this project coming along?

>>22601110
I think it was missing/broken rig and a messed up model. Someone else was doing it, so I'm not sure.

>>22601972
As far as we know, it's not (yet).
Once the main 6 are finished, the thread decides on which scene that will be recreated, and then we all watch as 3dAnon does everything.

>>22602021
okay. I guess I'll wait then. not like I had time to work rn anyway.

>>22601110
Well the main issue is that Maya and Blender are two very different programs that can accomplish the exact same thing based on how much you know. Why do you want to move the rigs to Maya anyways?

>>22602084
Better AMD support and integration with plugins/programs

>>22602174

but a song would make it so much more satisfying and glorious

>>22602200
>>22602215
>>22602234
>>22602252
Well the issue with all of these would be that a lot of background pony creation would need to be done.

>>22602276
aw shit, were there any songs without any bg ponies?

>>22602276
If we get a good set of the basic hair and face shapes down than it should go much smoother.

Especially for something like AtG which had like 8 different bg ponies max.

>>22602299
Giggle at the Ghosties is the only one that comes to mind.

>>22602299
From the top of my head:
Giggle at the Ghosties
Cupcakes
Find a Pet
Art of the Dress
Apples to the Core.

What about a 3d version of The Goof Off.

>>22602276
>>22602299
>>22602319
maybe if we git gud, it wont matter

though I wonder if or why anyone outside of /mlp/ hasn't attempted to create any models

>>22602381
I highly doubt it.

Its so labor intensive it really does require a team or a group of faggots to get going.

>>22602373
This would actually be incredible, The scale of everything, the bubble, the real life part would actually be really funny if we switched it to 2d animation out of nowhere.

>>22602402
That would be the mightiest kek of my life.

so let me get this straight, you are animating RD twirling the Deagle? it just seems like that's why you're implying

>>22602813
No, in this part of the animation she's raising the deagle to face level. I can't say anymore because muh secrets.

>>22602796
That's alright to not like it. I think it looks "daring" on her, which is an unusual but pleasing look for someone who isn't always like that.

>>22603032
>>22603052
Well I never it was cause for an issue. On old macbooks you actually can upgrade to an SSD, but on newer ones everything is locked down.
However, I thoroughly enjoy my macbook pro (2013) mainly because of its trackpad. I tried many other laptops before buying *another* macbook pro, and none of them could beat the macbook's trackpad. While you may be like "B-BUT YOU CAN'T CUSTOMIZE IT, WHY WOULD YOU BUY IT JUST FOR A TRACKPAD YOU STUPID APPLEFAG", but my logic is that you will be using that trackpad a metric shitton, and like buying a good matress, it was worth the investment.

>>22603134
The track pad is fucking go tier.

I believe that the combination of screen and trackpad with the keyboard is enough to buy it alone.

>>22603134
magicmouse master race Trackpad is fucking amazing

>>22603148
All of this. Most other laptops just don't compete.

>>22603280
Would this actually work in 3d? Should I put my rift on and try?

>>22603305
do it figgit

>>22603134
>>22603148
>>22603163
>all these appleshills
I've used apple's trackpad and keyboard several times and I really don't understand the appeal. The keyboard keys and the pad "click" are just too hard.

>>22603396
It's more the responsiveness of the trackpad that sells it to me, something about using it in blender and rotating the camera with velocity that just feels natural, whereas with other trackpads it feels more like I'm executing a function instead of a natural feel, as if it's like "Okay so he put two fingers on the thing and moved them up a centimeter, so make the scrollwheel go up.

>>22603335
The answer is yes, but due to it being a static video, it is disorientating. The 3d works though.

Something involving the mane 6, but doesn't NEED the other background ponies in the scene.
But if that can't be done, I'd ask for something like that towel scene. Fucking unf.

>>22602215
Winter Wrap Up is probably a top choice.
Smile^3 is meh. I wouldn't do it. Not a ponkafag And it focuses on one pony. A mane 6 option would be better.
>>22602234
At the Gala I didn't really favor. I doubt I'm the only one. And it would require the dresses.

>>22603649
>>22603702
>>22603740
It's more the fact that it'd be better to have all the mane 6 involved, rather than have it focus on one in particular.
It honestly has nothing to do with her ranking 5th out of the mane 6. Not even kidding.

>>22603821
Rarities Dress? That'd be a ton of animation and Post production, though.

Do you have glasses/contacts? I can't seem to do it when I've got my contacts in.

>>22605381
oh god why would you do that with contacts in
do you know how you get your contacts lost behind your retinas
that's how

>>22605394
Shit now I sound like I don't know what I'm talking about

I meant just generally losing your contacts to the innards of your head, of it going past your eyeball and such.

it's probably too late

>>22605381
no I don't
What I think is happening is that it isn't lined up exactly which makes it seem blurry
I also tried at a bunch of different distances cause it seemed further away with eyes crossed, what distance would work best do you think?

Paging 3dAnon, did you try posting the AAIWTB to blendernation? I think they'd be happy to post about it.

This isn't cross-eyed, it's derp-eyed. For most people it's harder to do (or outright impossible, depending on the size / zoom factor) and the image will not come out of the screen, but will go beyond it (might be good for an aquarium).
Just swap the left image with the right

>>22609420
Are you retarded? Cross-eyed works fine.

>>22609825
Well actually he's correct, sort of. The image on the left is from the left camera, and the image on the right is from the right camera. Your right eye should view the right image, and your left should view the left image (obviously). Crossing your eyes gets you a 3d effect, but it's inversed, and both images will be coming out of the screen. Not that I would actually know what happens when you cross your eyes because I can't do it for the life of me, but his logic is sound.

Yeah, I might be only a bio freshman, but even I know that can't happen.
The optic nerve prevents it from going exactly at the back of your eye, but it wouldn't be able to get there in the first place because there are muscles that enable you to move your eye on the side.
Also, I wear contact lenses and there have a concave shape. Unless I rub them off they usually stay on the cornea.

Nothing can get past the conjunctiva, which connects the sclera to the eyelids, unless it gets perforated. But it's a relatively flexible and resilient tissue, so that can't happen with a contact lens. Math major here.

>>22613459
Thankyou.

>>22613424
Ok, here's what you're gonna want to do. Crank the subdivision to 3. Go into edit mode, and press Ctrl-R, and this should make a loop-cut. make it go down the center line of your mesh. Click RMB, assuming you followed Alimayo arangos's tutorial. Drag it over to either side and get it close enough to where you can have an edge to your liking. Do this again, but on the other side. This will make the edges defined, but not too sharp, or it will be unrealistic. If you deselect it by accident, hover over it and Alt-click it to re-select the whole loop.

>>22613424
>>22613535
Or you could simply set up a few creases by hitting N to open the properties panel and putting a non-zero value in crease.

Oh, ok. Alt-click the edge of the mesh and then Shift-Alt click the other side. Now press Ctrl-B to bevel. bring the 'wire' out more to bevel more, bring it in for less.

This looks already pretty detailed and smooth for SFM, imo.

>>22614182
I don't think you're gonna want to make any more faces. SFM has needs low-poly. To make it smoother is to add more faces,

>>22614182
Make everything smooth and then use an Edge split modifier. Play around with the angle option

>>22611615

Top choice in case. Corsair had a major winner in the 650D.

Cant believe they stopped producing it.

>>22610163
That is too cute. I love it.

>>22610163
Jumps a bit, not sure why. But a proper 3D

>>22616063
This statement looks unfinished.

>>22616613
This stereoscopic animation jumps slightly at some points and im not sure why did it end up like that since it was rendered from the same source model. But it's still a properly made stereoscopic animation

>>22616782
What frame rate was it rendered at?

>>22616808
Not the author but looks like 24 fps

>>22616834
That could be a problem. I thought it looked like a lower frame rate as well.

The lack of applied motion blur would explain the why at a low frame rate the animation appears "jumpy". As in area's of motion the model moves too far between frames and appears to teleport to the new area.

>>22616858
There's motion blur, but apparently not enough. I set the shutter speed to be 0.5 since that works for everything else, but is there a better shutter rate for 3d?

>>22617001
You're looking at it the wrong way.

I dont use 3D programs but I'm working for a photography degree along with my engineering one, and I can tell you with authority that nothing is that simple.

give me something to work with. .5 what? cant be 1/2s, as that is fucking /slow/

If there's a way to do it in seconds, a good rule of thumb would be to set the shutter speed to the capture speed. IE if 60Hz then 1/60th of a second shutter speed.

But again, that's a massive over simplification.


I can go into more detail if you want me too. And even record a video on my utubs if need be.

>>22616858
Motion always looks bad with this '3D'

>>22617062
I know man... Its something that Game Devs have been dealing with for years.

They get around the problem by simply upping the frame rate so that our eyes can just do there thing and apply the effect themselves.

>>22617001
I suggest rendering at 60fps minimum for 3D work.

If you could, go a head an re-render the scene with the higher frame rate.

>>22617001
From the Blender Docs: "If Motion Blur is active, even if nothing is moving in the scene, Blender actually 'jitters' the camera a little between an 'intermediate' frame and the next."

This could also be a problem. I guess we could try no motion blur at all.

I'll look into it when I get back to school. As I dont have my rig with me right now.


I'm planning to do some pretty extensive testing with Maya/Blender's rendering systems to see what gives us the best quality.

I'll be damned if a project I'm involved with is anything less than 60Hz. Broadcast standards can go fuck themselves.

>>22617095
I wonder when they'll make some actual virtual reality where world will be transfered directly to brain and what kind of features will come with it. I already imagine some possibilities and these are just the tip on an iceberg. Vitually just anything we can imagine

>>22617205
Not really too into that idea tbh. But I can see why you would be.

>>22617205
I don't like that idea. If you can do that, than why go to school? Just download the knowledge. It would ruin the 'career' as we know it. People would also give up on real life, since a virtual life that has more to it is obviously better. See the implications?

>>22617221
First will be implants. Having some chip that would allow me to communiacte with computer wirelessly gives shitload of nice things. You wouldn't need a mouse/kb any more. You would just imagine actions and comuter would do it. Like for example imagining a 3D model which will be generated in minutes instead of days. Same for animating it

question pertains to level of depth I can go into on subject What degrees do you have?

>>22617344
IT Engineer
But this stuff is kinda my hobby. I dug it out on myself. So feel free to go all the way

>>22617381
Okay so, neural sympatic connections are not something that is remotely useful for the kind of future tech you're describing. What you seem to be talking about relies on the model we currently use for interfacing with computers, which is just downright incompatable with such a direct connection to something as complex as the human brain.

Think of the modern UIs we have as nothing but something to interface our brains and the computers chips. Once you have a connection type that negates the need for that type of UI everything gets thrown out the window. Suddenly, everything becomes about "tricking" the brain into decoding signals that it would normally get from one of the appendages it's built to run.

The kind of "one with the code" mentality is the science fiction representation of something miles more complex.

To sum it up, it wont be us who have to change, it will be the computers, and the way we as Computer Scientists and Engineers go about working that will need to change.

Hope that helps a bit.

I want to animate Twi and/or Rainbow doing something cute. Anyone have any ideas?

>>22617205
Definitely not in your lifetime, if ever.

>>22617468
It's actually a matter of adapting the technology. While i can't see 0's and 1's, the chip might be advanced enough to decode it in fly and turn it into something, our brain can interpret. But for starters one way transfer will be enough and computers are good enough for such things

In the past few years technology is invading our privacy more and more.

And android? Google maps comes with enabled tracking on android devices, recording every single step you do.

Call me a tinfoil tipper, but the more I see newer technologies, the more 1964 looks real.

All I want is optical/quantum computers mostly because they're super fast and they don't have joule-effect.

>>22618110
100% agreed. Its great. As an ECE student, this shit makes me so excited.

>>22618103
If you're about privacy, quantum data transfer will fit your requirements because by its principles it can't be read by some 3rd party without changing it's structure. Something like observer effect. Govs already have plans on using it for safe data transfers that can't be captured and readed without chaging them
