Where do I get cracked ae plugins now?
>>981143where can I get gfx packs?
.
tutorial??
>>981509I follow Andrew Price tutorial
I am now much stronger, and now have mastered AI as well as 3D and 2D.
>>981479You are right its more like standing still.
>>981493the circle he's walking on is infinitesimally small it appears as if he is standing still
>>981512The jannies took him for a ride that produced nuisance to other people and took away 10 years of his life. Never trust jannies. They do it for free for a reason.
>>981514Yes, one of my guesses is they actively monitor most of the threads but ignore the reports and might stir some drama just for laughs, banning or warning anons when butthurt
>>981479You made a lot of progress on that new game Cris Please keep going!Next one release it on steam
>>980700Video games aren't "CGI" thoughbeit
>>971059this, but unironically
>>971041nothing
>>971041Thought this video was pretty fascinating. Very rare to see this kind of early CGI at such high fidelity.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9AZ9CGMi4k
>>971059This but ironically.
I hate geometry nodes. So I wanted to get an array that has a offset for example every repeated part is -5 of the original distance.This is impossible to get in the array modifier (despite the devs being retarded for not including it)So lets see how I can do this in geometry nodes.Repeat something node yes???WTF? What is this shit.Youtube search.LOOOK AT THIS GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqXYApfJuPkComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>981381Skill issue
>>981409>Imagine being a nigger and not killing yourself.
>>981381Looks logical. They split the functionality into small atomic elements which can be recombined in many different ways.It makes sense to separate the offset logic from the duplication functionality, that's why the geometry node version can do whatever you can imagine rather than being limited to what the developers thought to include.
But I can use Blender somewhat, so I just make models from schematicsI was also thinking of remaking art by actually creative and artistic people in 3D, or replicating video game scenes.Anyone else like this?
>>976928>>976930The best way to be "creative" is to literally not focus on it at all. Go outside, go for a drive, a hike, have some kind of experience, watch a movie or show, play a game. Do literally anything else besides art. Keeping your mind fresh and open to new experiences is how you can get creative juices flowing.Now when I say that, I don't mean procrastinate and consoom media, I really do mean opening up your mind and taking in the sights and sounds, enjoying things in the moment. Shit like that really does wonders.If all else fails, just do drugs and center your entire life around them like all the "dude weed" people.I find drugs to be kinda gay (because of people who base their whole personality on them), but I'd be lying if I said it doesn't work for some people. Kinda makes "being creative" a bit expensive though, I'll bet.
>>976922If you want to be creative study art that you find creative, look at a lot of artworks, expand your visual library, study history or other subjects close to what you aim to design, draw from various inspirations, creativity is a skill that can be developed, it will take time to go from uninspired works, to inspired, to original>>977143Actual dogshit advice
>>976922Replicating things that already exist (from reference) is extremely common and has been for thousands of years. Everyone does it and you should too. Make shit that you enjoy or enjoy the process of making.If you want to be more creative try stepping out of your comfort zone more. Experiment and remix when making things. You will fuck up, but think critically about it and you can learn. If depression is getting in the way get some exercise and sunlight.
>>976922your modelling talent is required to preserve old art. starts making 3D models of those cultures that are unexposed that aren't Western or Eastern.
>>976922I'm in the same boat over here with my aphantasia. For creative outlet I just love modifying things, since I can see shortcomings or missing pieces, but not create anything from scratch.On the other hand, if you WANT to create things without imagination,unironically use Dall-E 3 to generate shit (there is an outpour of threads on /v/ for AI generation currently, if you don't have any idea how to prompt). It will create the rough outline of an item/character/place, provide some details and you can make the thing take shape in 3D software (something I considered once I saw some outputs of mine and thought the contents were a cool idea).
So I am only a day old diving into Blender after 3 years of trying 3DS Max with no progress which is more of a skill issue on my end. I am specifically wanting to model cars. I have something started but am not too happy with the outcome of the doors. I am starting with blueprints but still getting to grips with pretty much everything else. What tips can you give an absolute noob when it comes to modelling?
>>977171Image is of the whole torrent not what I've uploaded.also sometimes you can find paid addons on https://iggtech.com/https://gfxfather.com/https://www.downloadpirate.com/blender/I'd 100% hit em with a virus scan but I've downloaded stuff from these sites.
>>977174Chad. Thanks

>>976621Don't jump directly into the high poly/subsurface model. Do your low/medium poly that has EVERY detail you want in the final product, with decently clean topology. Only when you're COMPLETELY done that, duplicate all the parts and start working on your high poly (should be pretty quick since you've already planned out all the geometry) with any necessary supporting geometry and edge loops.Lots of people jump right into trying to make things with subsurf from the get go and work themselves into a corner.There are a handful of common 'problem' shapes that you should probably learn, things like circular holes in curved surfaces. They're not so bad once you've practiced them a little but if you don't know them you'll end up using way more geometry than is needed and your mesh will become difficult to work with.
>>976621Line work is the base of any car model.Start with line work. Lay down lines and curves in 3D space according to your blueprints. Start with lines that are present in a lot of views, these have the greatest "confidence" and they'll help you lay out other lines.Be aware that most blueprints aren't 100% accurate, so one point might be off in one of the views.I have placed colored spots in pic related, these lines (and all of the wheel well edges) are the ones I would start with.Keep in mind that lines which aren't connected to other lines could be "reflection lines" - these are unimportant and should not be modeled, at least not right away.After you're confident with all your lines start connecting them with faces and work out the surfaces. In this stage blueprints won't help you as much, go online and start looking for photos, full body and close up, where the paint shows the surface curvature.Don't do panel work (cutting out doors, roof, fenders etc) until you are 100% satisfied with the proportions and topology of your mesh. Cutting out panels is the last step.

>>977933you're shooting yourself in the foot by using anything other than the latest UE5 release
>>980106It depends, especially if you're using third-party plugins. It can take some time after release before the plugins you use become compatible with the latest version. For instance, with the FSR plugin, it can take quite a while for AMD to make it compatible with the latest version; UE 5.1 was released in November 2022 and AMD's FSR2 plugin didn't support it until three months later when the FSR 2.2 plugin was released in March 2023.
It's out!https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/blog/unreal-engine-5-4-is-now-available
>>981424Anything to look forward to besides the new retargeting system?
>>981424I like that they're going for making external DCCs such as Maya, 3DS and Blender completely irrelevant. I think that's the right move.
I spent so much fucking time trying to get a pirated version of Cinema 4D working When i get it working the Redshift not working right when redshit working some other shit crashing Why the fuck did i think just because that shit more expensive it was better than blender when blender addons & renderers are so easy to install >but in reality i do want to go into mainly motion graphic simulations & animation so it might be better
Just finish my first render how long until i start making all that money i heard about
>>9800303DS Max is bordering on abandonware and is falling behind modelling in Blender.
>>980219renders p good
>>980029FR I used to get by with the 'Education' version of Maxon One bundle, but they changed the fucking system so now I can't get it. It's borderline impossible to get a pirated version of C4D + Redshift to work properly. FFS
>>980346I've been hearing this for over a decade now. Blender is still not even close to 3ds.
Redpill me on AM and other similar programs. Do you get anything out of it that you wouldn't be able to learn on your own? Are you actually just buying connections? Have you done it? what did you think? I can already guess that the general opinion here will be pretty negative but I'm interested to hear your insights.
>>981297Andrew, how many times do I have to remind you that you're not welcome on this board?
>>981297Officially from Maya and they work unlike Blender that removed buttons and stored it away.
What do yall think of something like https://www.toanimate.ca/$500 for courses, rigs, props, scenes, professional feedback + discord
>>981439>Red flagsOnly blender, discord (anything commercial tie with discord is bound to be a scam), if I’m read the jump reference right, it’s asking you for a perfect 90 degree? Let me tell you; people hate perfect things, walk cycle for bot is bad, it’s just a by product of https://teachable.com and no actual professional.It’s a scam anon.
>>981443what courses/books would you recommend?
How do I improve sculpting bros? Does this look like I need to know more Zbrush to improve? I feel like I can’t draw the planes and I fuck up on the mouth a lot I want to improve and I’m really stuck. I’ve been following a head anatomy course and while I have improved a bit-it’s only a little bit, I think I’m not understanding a lot. I know I sound extremely naive in this whole thing, I just don’t know where to start. I can’t keep up in this course and make turd after turd without knowing I’m knowing how to improve after each turdI bought anatomy for sculptors book too
>>981433Here is this also so I can show my skill level. It’s not good, and I’m hitting a learning curve I think but I’m not sure how to achieve my goals of being good at this
I was also just following step by step with what the guy in the video course did but i realize now that it’s copying right?
>>981433I fucking love professional european artists who stream. They're so incredibly dry and unhelpful in the funniest ways. The good ones anyway. They've been professional artists for like 15 or 20 years, and have like zero in common with the people watching and can't help them at all because they don't consciously think about all the skills and talent they've developed and can't articulate it.I'm not even complaining, I just think it's funny how innately averse to spoonfeeding they are.
>>981437He’s not European. I mean I wanna get better and I will but if there’s something I’m not really getting I would like to know it if possible even if I sound like an idiot haha
so imagine that i got good at 3d modeling, how do i realistically make money? is porn the fastest and easy route? how do you build a fanbase or do you make videos for pornhub and cash on views?i dont want to work in a studio or with other people, want to fly solo here
>>981377X/Twitter
>>977045>picWhat about VR POV porn?
>>979950>Not him but you're fucking retarded. Movies have been using photogrammetry for over 30 yearsProof?> IKEA-catalogue isPROOF?I think you are confusing 3D scanning and photogrametry. Photogrametry is the google cardboard technology while 3D scanning is the real thing.Still it takes a long time to scan.
>>977345that's what i've been saying man. This shit is just a hyper fetish, these fucking freaks. they'll call you gay if you call their fetish shit like it is
>>977345I agree with you anon, the op looks like a flab monster. Zero appeal
I want one of you to show me how to make low poly model like this. Please show me. Please, please. Please. I want someone to stream and show me. Please. Why the fuck do I have to learn on my own. Please show me.
>>981183I'm sure whatever software you use has a feature to turn pairs of triangles back into quads without ruining the models, or you could do it by hand. I don't think the artist who made that GIF ever released his models or posted wireframes IIRC, sorry.
>>981183>model the rest of the fucking owl
>>981137just learn 256 poly modelling, it's really no different from OP's example. the only thing that makes it distinct is the use of pixel art for the texturing.
>>981182>No Yuna or naked Sera modelsGoddamnit it's been over two decades why haven't all the models from these games been ripped yet?
>>981383The games make heavy use of overlay binaries, and not only slap code into overlay files, but data too, including raw model formats that use raw pointers, iirc.Source: I tried decompiling MML1 once.
All RODIN needs is a brief description, a 2D image and within seconds it will generate a 3D mesh asset with the desired amount of polygons that can be exported in formats compatible with Maya/3DSMAX/Blender/etc.It's currently in a semi-public beta where people can apply, releasing next month.This is just generation 1 but it's already this good.https://hyperhuman.deemos.com/rodinHow will this affect the 3D artists?Mass layoffs in the 3D industry expected?
Procedural generation/scanning has been a thing since 3DCG was invented. Surprised it took AI this long when half the work is math and software already.
imagine the porn
>>981360Until we can run these AI models locally this shit will always be censored.
>>981339No those were character creator, AI is a fake idea and steals 3D models. If you try to say Mikey Mouse (A public domain character) you get nothing because no one has made him in 3D.
>>981331>it's already this good.:)
le donut of blender. based!
>>980523Unironically nice donuts
>>981111Witnessed.
>>980788ugh yawn i tried making another chair but I got stuck so I made le more donuts how long until I can model cars or something?
>>981304thanks
>>981338>how long until I can model cars or something?bruh...
