Are there high quality blender projects with animations that I can study? I want to see how pros are making stuff. Maybe there some creators that share them on patreon or something?

>>1006500 (OP)
Pros don’t use Blender and everything animation related to Blender breaks. Use something else.

>>1006501
But all the cool porn is made in Blender.

>>1006501
I mean, blender is pretty much a professional tool, isn't it? It has pretty good animation tools. If you can't get any good results then it might just be a skill issue.

>>1006502
no its made in maya and the creators just say they use blender because they dont want autodesk raping them for making 10k a month with a lirated copy.

>>1006503
There’s no proof pros ever using it. The cat movie took 4 million dollars to create. They had to use custom tools and different techniques to achieve movie quality. Nothing was directly related to Blender. Also no, Blender’s tools are not close to what professional animators want. Too many tools like Mocap, gravity (not to be confused with simulation), frame rate, etc.

>>1006504
For stylized stuff you don't need super powerful magical tools, there are nothing super special in Maya that will make 2 minutes animation of a girl being fucked on the table impossible to recreate in the Blender. It's not a super realistic movie or complicated scene wtih 1000 layers of dynamic stuff.

>>1006505
>custom tools and different techniques
you mean advanced techniques like texture mapping?! holy shit

>>1006505
> "Too many tools like Mocap, gravity (not to be confused with simulation), frame rate, etc."
What do you even mean by that?

>>1006510
Have you seen how Adobe substance can just create bump mapping without 3rd party software. Unlike Blender who needs to use Gimp because other sources are proprietary or paid. News Entertainment are clearly saying from the creators of Flow that Blender didn’t meet their expectations and have to make custom code. So what crazy thing in your mind tells you Blender can do impossible things when it’s not implanted into Blender.

>>1006515
You mean the fabled bump? I heard they only teach you that in your third year of university, unbelievable

>>1006516
Bump Node can’t perceive higher levels of detail stupid. It also doesn’t offer colorful details either. What you suggested is stupidest method of doing things.

oh hey its this schizo again. Happy new year, faggot

>>1006522
Now tell me, did they use something called "animation curves"? I heard they only have those in Maya

>>1006526
Graph Editor in Blender is inferior, you can’t smooth it, the data is not saved which means you lose work and doesn’t offer any effects animation. It’s simply not worth using it, many Blender users are in the same situation and always recommend something to fix Blender’s inability to solve it.

>>1006534
And no, blender has a smooth function for keyframes. And what do you even mean by "the data is not saved"?
Sounds like you just have a skill issue desu.

>>1006526
I also heard that they have this new technique called "Normal mapping"
Too bad i don't have money for 3Ds Max. Blender just feels so outdated now.

>>1006542
Just play along, he's mentally retarded

>>1006544
Probably more like inexperienced.

People make decent porn in a fucking source engine, you don't need cutting edge stuff to make good shit.

>>1006548
I think they used python to create procedural materials, I'm sure it would have been a breeze in Maya since it has its own scripting language

>>1006549
I'm sure it would have been a breeze in Blender since it has its own python API.

>>1006548
you sure?

>>1006551
>Blender noob think it’s the same
There not the same just like this isn’t the same either: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2pTsf6nEW8

>>1006557
You don't even know anything about Maya, what is wrong with you?

>>1006558
You don’t even know anything about 3D if you think they’re the same. It’s like saying Manual Car and Automatic Car are the same.

>>1006557
Ya can't really implement bezier curves in a fundamentally different way. They're just bezier curves.
As for the last video; see attachment.

>>1006562
Poor Blender users, limited range sliders and zero control over selection of points.

>>1006568
> zero control over selection of points
see attachment

also, limited range slider is such a stupid nitpick, as if maya or max doesnt have limited range slider

>>1006500 (OP)
damn, another porn thread, how cool

>>1006571
Oh stop playing dumb, you’re the one who can’t drive Manual Transmission and over reliance on automatic vehicles. You know Blender can’t do those things and just installed plugins that break down.

https://blendermarket.com/products/ohmygraph

>>1006575
I, no joke, didn't even know that this plugin even existed...

>>1006509
it doesnt have to be impossible. just harder. why work harder when another option, which is easier and makes better outcomes, is available?

>>1006500 (OP)
f95 has a lot of guides and stuff, the rabbithole goes infinite, but besides all that it really is just watching a lot of real life bouncy butt and recreating it as best as possible with your talent and your skillset. Learn whatever program you're using from head to toe and practice until you get it right.

jesus what a piece of shit advice

Unironically, SFM was waaaaaay ahead of its time for animation.
It's features and UI are still superior to anything else on the market right now.

The only thing they are better at is having proper soft body physics etc.

It's fucking baffling how these gorillion dollar companies fail at such basic things. Maya? Fuck that shit. Blender? Stumbling buffoons. Even unreal engine is better than those two.

>>1006679
SFM doesn’t have cloth physics, outdated files that one day will no longer exist, no node controls for the animator, percussion editing not available, etc. SFM is the one with the outdated stuff, you’re not even a real animator if you can’t see the major difference between SFM and Blender/Maya animation tools.

>>1006679
>UI
i can somewhat understand that
>Features
Fuck no. The only real feature that sets ot apart is the native source integration, since it is, technically, a fucking source game. I'd love an addon that somehow integrates the TF2 recording system into blender but thats it.
Almost anything SFM can do, blender can do bettter, and in many cases faster, while allowing way better control over every single element of the scene, not to mention that SFM hasnt been updated in a literal decade and is bursting at the seam at every possible moment.
I admit that i dont know anything about S2FM, but the original has been outdated dogshit even back when it was still big.

>>1006505
>They had to use custom tools and different techniques to achieve movie quality.
Just like in maya? get over it future is blender i see no future for autodesk & adobe trash

>>1008997
Well no, depending on the movie and studio, the production could have been using alternate 3D software like MODO or 3DS. They can also be using game engines to achieve better performance. Blender can’t do anything close to what you are describing or what real 3D software can do.

>>1006500 (OP)
find some 3d porn animators who post their blend files
then go to kemono and download them for free
rigid3d does it but he animates in a bizarre way i don't think anyone else should emulate

Do you think Blender is good enough to make anime 3d models that I can then rig and animate in Maya? Most anime tutorials use Blender for modelling, so it's easier to learn.

>>1009204
it doesnt matter if you use blender or maya because they have the same capabilities for poly modeling, ive used maya tutorials while using blender

>>1009204
You can make it look anime but Blender can never achieve animation without crashing 1000 times. The Blender developers refused to fix the animation problem for years and the movie they won is nothing but a publicity stunt after spending 5 million dollars on it.

>>1009039
>rigid3d does it but he animates in a bizarre way i don't think anyone else should emulate
Yeah, I can't come up with a single reason as to why he animates all jerky like that

>>1009235
i assume he's self taught and has traveled down a weird rabbit hole
most of his animations aren't very continuous with their motion, lots of start/stop and big impacts which is obviously what he's into but man the first time i looked at his blend file i was so confused. never seen nla tracks used like that

>>1006500 (OP)
yeah i know some guy who sell them in patreon

nuttycravat

there very good works if you can reverse ingenering them are pretty good for learning and makes you safe a lot of time animating

>>1010054
thank you saar big redeeming to me now

>>1006581
Is the Mei model used by Fugrup floating around out there somewhere or is it hoarded by them like all of King Midas's silver?

>>1010832
all the big creators largely make their own models

>>1006589
Isn't the option that has 99% of all porn related assets and scripts ready easier than having to do conversions?
