We all know you are really just using this software to have celebs bang monsters and animals anyways so here is the current breakdown https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/638911/celebrity-look-a-likes-for-3d-figures-part-4/

For fellow anons interested in this stuff, ArcSys have collated all their presentations (in Japanese) on achieving their unique character style including skinning, rigging and rendering on this central “Academy” page.

This is my first attempt at a Megaman Legends style character for a game I'm working on.
I'm redoing the jacket/torso but if anyone has tips on the face or anything in general I'd really appreciate it.
I'm having a real hard time deciding if I'm being too hard or not hard enough on myself with the turn out but it feels like something is slightly off.

First attempt at rigging my first character...it's NOT looking good bros

Can we get some filter analysis? After replaying some old games, including RE5, MGS2/3, NFSMW, etc I found them quite useful to hide the uncanny ambient lighting. Even in GTA SA the orange PS2 tint enables you to see the game as its own pocket universe instead of a game that is trying to emulating reality.

None of you are going to make it in the 3D industry. The industry doesn’t want you, your “style” is irrelevant, and your “passion” means nothing. Studios are drowning in Chinese portfolios better than yours. AI is already doing your job faster than you. And no, your donut, your anime bust, or your cyberpunk alleyway doesn’t make you special. You’re one of thousands churning out the same crap hoping for validation. Entry level offers are basically nonexistent. They only want seniors with industry experience.

Meanwhile plumbers are raking in more money than any of you will ever touch in 3D. They get paid on the clock, not in “exposure.” They don’t fight for scraps on freelance boards. They don’t watch their skillset become obsolete overnight because Autodesk decided to change their licensing model. A plumber apprentice makes more in a week than you do in a month of Fiverr commissions.

You’re not a future Pixar artist. You’re not a visionary. You’re wasting years staring at a viewport making fake pipes when you could be fixing real ones for real money. In four years, a plumbing apprentice has a house and a stable career. In four years, you’ll still be on /3/, posting “rate my topology” and seething about why no one hires you.

Stop coping. Quit 3D. Pick up a wrench and complete your plumbers apprenticeship.

It's over

Post and discuss project ideas, WIPs, etc. If you want to upload a file, use a cat/litterbox file or an upload on a reputable 3d model sharing site such as Sketchfab. Don't post anything blasphemous and have fun.

I hate the fucking animation slots.
What possessed them to take something that was simple and worked perfectly well and make it complicated for the sake of complicity. I can no longer export animations from blender to unreal because all the animations are the same.
>Clearly keyframed jump animation?
Nope, everything is a walk cycle.
>Want to check a tutorial on youtube to see how it works
"Here are 3 different geometric objects spinning around and keyframing them. Isn't this so simple now?"
I fucking hate this.

Is there a term for DOA6 style hair/materials that aren't realistic and looks gorgeous? The shading on clothes are simple yet looks intricate.

Did sfm set back 2010s animators years? (kinda ignore pic)

I come with a heavy question, I come with hunger for answers.

I tried making fortnite 3D blender porn a year ago, I never got better, I never got better. I want to present the evidence of lack of progress as well as present the works of others, current day, that are performing better works. Could it be proof of talent?

how the fuck does a studio of 30 people total (including programmers, managers) create such a massive game with unique environments and character models?

I struggle to create any environment in less than a month that is going to be rendered in a still frame. what kind of magic do these people do?

I remember reading somewhere that old-school video games used to treat illumination through a lens of studio lighting. Instead of simulating rays, they use a combination of point/directional/spot/ambient light to convey the emotion of a scene.
Is there any blog or video that talks about this phenomenon in depth blending both technical and artistic knowledge, comparing different shading models from different era.

Also, PBR materials today is treated as some sort of divinely "correct" way to do stuff. When you talk about disadvantages, everyone gives a handwavy remark of "slightly" less performance. But how much? There are no exact metrics obtained by comparing two scenes that were designed with both traditional and PBR models in mind without bias.

is this program worth anything? I am primarily going to decide between it and blender. I am a complete permabeg. Any thoughts? not a single person on /v/ or /vg/ or /3/ has ever talked about it afaik.

Im working on developing some games in my spare time and I’d really like to target the fidelity of ps2-ps3 style games, mostly for stylistic purposes (but also because I’m solo and don’t have the time and resources to make too many high poly things)

Specifically, I’m really interested in how characters like pic related were modeled and textured to look semi-realistic and expressive (especially textures because I’m still terrible with them)

Feel free to post low-poly or just your favorite models/textures from the games of the good old era of games

How do I make money by making roblox costumes?

Rate my 3ds Max render. Am I ready enough for a position in the animation industry?

>have the drive to do something
>open blender
>stare at cube while alt tabbing back to other shit
>drive slowly melts away
>eventually do nothing and close blender
how do you fight it bros? i used to spend hours learning and practicing, now its all gone

The single most used Maya add-on and not a single person has decided that it would be worth the time to crack it.

Maybe they have? If they have, someone send it my way I'm not paying for it.

Post more Quinns!

The idea is to make simple games with them : )

/3/ if it weren't for you I would not have found this cool hobby
I like to take molecular biology stuff from the protein databank and render it in Maya.
I once asked about this here on /3/ in a stupid questions thread and was told where to go and what to do. A year later here I am playing around with cool stuff.

for all my low poly phototexture enjoyers here

a world4jack video... its a tutorial on how he textures his dudes
i downloaded it, so if it takes it down ill repost

Cinema 4D R9 is nice.

Alright started my very first lowpoly character trying to use techniques here

How fucked is it?

Meanwhile you fags keep argueing about autodesk vs blender and coomer AI taking blender jobs, I keep improving my skills.

Ok, lads.
Does Blender 4.5+ have the ability to do this yet?

The image explains it better than a paragraph could.
Where you can have an object in edit mode without curve modifier applied, and be able to see the edited changes on duplicate or instanced object positioned elsewhere under a visible curve modifier.

Something with clones parented to empties maybe?

If not, can Maya do it? I can buy a license for Maya if so. And please no Mava Vs Blender thread, I don't care anymore. Just want to make shit effectively. Will probably end up setting blender's control scheme to Maya and use both for which ever needs either program excels better with.

What's the quickest way from retard to creator of this?
Wing3D?

Use this as a place to help rebuild after the great purge /3/

I autisically save everything so hopefully I can help give back to a board that I love on this god-forsaken Mongolian basket weaving site

Is there a good channel to learn how to make 3d animation and what's the good 3d software animation for beginner

how the hell do i get the calligraphy line style to work on blender?
been trying to do it but it's not working.

Can you guys recommend me some really good YouTube channel that teach us how to make 3d animation. REMEMBER A REALLY REALLY GOOD YOUTUBE CHANNEL THAT TEACH US HOW TO MAKE 3D ANIMATION

Addition : i'm the same guy who make thread that post “Is there a good channel to learn how to make 3d animation and what's the good 3d software animation for beginner”

I think blender was created to keep the bewannabes from real 3d artist and professional. Real artist use any tool at is disposal.
