It's not due to AI because AI can't fucking 3D model game ready stuff nor precise stuff like architecture visualizations. It is due to outsourcing to jeet companies

Not fault of AI when it comes to 3D because as said >>1022864 AI can’t do 3D for shit. My actual guess is combination of jeetification and AAA game companies flopping. Ubisoft lost majority of its value because they have not released a good game in a decade, same goes for lot of other studios, flop after flop for the most part while I die games are getting better, and indie devs usually don’t hire that many artists.

I just glanced over vseeface document and it looks like all it needs is for you to have all the properly named blend shapes. In that case, it's up to you to sculpt your blendshapes in a way that makes whatever janky topology you're using look right.
We can't see the edge flow on a shaded model, so we can't give you any advice on it. MY general blendshape advice is to make sure they look right. If it doesnt look right, go back and fix that part. Do whatever it takes to make that expression/etc look right. It's not dynamic. You get to put every vert where it needs to be. So use that power.

I'm willing to bet you could fix your model by going in and avoiding subdiv modifiers until you actually nail the shapes. You have some clear features like the hips and navel but they aren't built around an understanding of the muscles underneath the skin. Do an A pose for better shoulder deformations and definitely revisit that tube tail it needs a little fattiness towards the bottom as gravity naturally pulls the meat downwards into a sort of eggy ellipse shape. It's not a bad start, spend some time with anatomy and topology, I recommend a washable marker and drawing on your own body if you want to start understanding loops better and how you should be solving for them. You can also look at other people's models in 3d wireframe but that's like feeding an AI more AI, you should be getting your references right from the source.

You're doing pretty good though definitely better than where I was at when I started

>never microfillet.
even as a last step on a separate subtool? is plasticity topology that bad?

>>1023775
I meant I never microfillet in plasticity and do the smooth edges in zbrush instead. The topology is literally computer-perfect, the best optimized possible if you know how to use pixyz and clean up a little, or it can be adapted for high poly editing in zbrush.

Though plasticity also has a built in obj exporter you can use with it's topology control which I use for simple meshes.

How the fuck is the industry working on meme AGI but we still don't have an AI that reliably does remeshing? How the fuck is that possible? Remeshing is full of repeating patterns, it should work well for AI automation.

The 'use pivot points' checkbox is an internal UI state of the Modify Panel and is not exposed to the standard MAXScript interface and yeah there is no direct .NET or qtMax property to toggle this specific option either. The best way to acces it would be to call a win32 command directly adressing the control but that fucking shit istoo convoluted.
Best workaround is to instance the modifiers on the rest of the objects after the fact. Yeah its stupid but don't fret too much fighting max's arcane 20 year old frankenstein UI.

People need to shut the fuck up about AI. It's going to do a few things before it gets better:

1. kill a shit load of people; like how all these morons think they can rig AI to control semi trucks. They can't figure out how to get them to park and suck ass in bad weather

2. this is just like automation. It will help production, but the people will displayable skill will COST MORE now.

3.The AI bubble will pop once these fucking morons in Hollywood, WEF, and UN figure out that it's not a magic cure all.

actually some years back i was working with a dev guy that liked my female models and had me making some stylized stuff for porn, covid hit and guy disapeared... anyway, i cant animate so at most i would only make sexy stylized figurines, either for somebody else to animate or for 3d printing... might give it a try, but dont know where to advertise either...

oh i know cascadeur, its good, i had a license for testing it out when it was in beta, it was good for walking and running cycles, i think the last time i used it they where implementing hand/finger rigging, but i havent seen any new development, is cascadeur good enough to make pron now?

Same skeleton or something idk

>>1023109
basically a bunch of meshes weighted to the same skeleton. Either the clothes are added on top of the base character, or the character is made of modules you can swap out, or both.

Workflow is you make a basic character, usually as nude as you can, and work out where you want the modular cuts to be. Then for each new clothin/equipment module you copy the relevant modules or even just loops and model/sculpt the new pieces from that.

http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/SkankerzeroModularCharacterSystem

Also if you're making a character for the first time don't make it modular, go back to that after you've actually gone through the whole process of making a character

All of your clothes have to fit all of your bodies.
If youre swapping out body parts the edges of each part and each version of each part have to line up. Like if youre swapping hands at the wrist, the dge loop where the arm becomes the wrist must occupy the same space on every hand mesh and every arm mesh.
If youre doing softbody deformation you cant use blendshapes. Everything via bones. Say you want a slider for fatness. Every sibgle shirt and jscket and everything will need a complimentary blend shape that matches the fat shape. Is you use clever bone arrangements to make the deformation then every mesh bound to that skeleton the same way will match automatically.

>painting a normal map
Brushstroke stylization aside, why wouldn't you just make a bump map and convert that to normals instead?
In GIMP the normal map filter lets you control the steepness of each converted layer, so you can over or under-emphasize different elements like scratches and bevels.
And since GIMP 3.0 you can toggle and preview the normals in realtime as you edit the greyscale.
Just a matter of getting comfy with the gradient tool and using the curves filter to add bevels or dimples in the inclines.

Like I see this often enough and think "you don't need a shapekey, this is just normal." You can keep the right side and it will look the same from a front-view. But for some reason they keep the flat version on the left and alter it every frame to look like the right.

I mean their work is amazing so idk maybe I'm wrong. Perhaps keeping it flat makes it easier to work with morphing it for general purpose. There are certain times to make eyes slightly non-uniform to appear hand-drawn. But I just don't think it's needed for a normal side-angle like that.

>>1023474
> a complicated setup of rigs and shape keys
Again, it can all be done with a fairly intuitive bone setup

>>1023477
They touch upon this in one of the arcsys presentation but basically you won't find a fixed setup that looks great from all angles, anime faces just don't work like that in 3d. And like yeah, you can find one that'll look *reasonably good*, like working fine for the gameplay phases of a game, but this whole thing here is about making it look *amazing*

Listen retard, if you are so new at this that you couldn't even recognize the Unreal Engine mannequin models and you actually paid for them, you never planned to do anything proper.
Take the L, use this as a teaching lesson and actually learn about 3D modeling before thinking about business ideas

>>1020488

to be fair it was only after I payed them that I learned of the existance of that model. But yeah i did have to learn the hard way so lesson learned indeed.

>>1020423
Why not just commission someone to make the whole damn thing? Nothing youre doing sounds even a bit logical. In fact, it is completely retarded and partially gaye.

>I have no 3d modeling skills
>i want people to partner up with me and do the work i cant do

No one is going to share a pay out just because you have an idea. You need to actually produce something and contribute. You sound like a scammer worse than the dude you stupidly gave money to.
