In his latest series for Blender 5.0, he teaches you how to make this mug.But at some point in the video, he attempts to make the bottom of the mug, but fails to first apply the solidify modifier before using the extrude tool, which causes an indent to form on the inside at the bottom of the mug (pic related)When he notices it, he quickly pans away the camera, and doesn't even address the problem, even though everyone who follows the video will end up with the same result.This dude has been using blender for 22 years, but can't even model a mug.
>>1024204>BlenderGuru is a hack.99.99% of youtube tutorials are made by hacks, people who aren't hacks are busy selling their service, not making retarded faces on youtube thumbnails.
Are you new to Youtube? obviously the most popular channel in any field is going to be an intermediate at best
>>1024652Tutorials don't even teach you anything. You can't make anything without understand the why not just the how.
>>1024224>including the time it takes to launch blenderlt literally takes less than 5 seconds to launchamongst all the 3d software I tried (3ds max and Maya) Blender is the fastest
>>1024679takes about 15 seconds from desktop until I can start modeling, when opening blender for the first time. second time takes <1s
How to make daz models less plastic and more fleshy like pic related? is it a sculpt or texture problem? can they be fixed in blender?
>>1024429this is the kind of bug report you can only get from someone who has a deep understanding of a vast problem set
I'm new to DAZ and 3d stuff as well, I've found that to get a good result you need a good high definition skin, tweak SSS settings and obviously good lighting
>>1024572that skin that looks like its made out of concrete indicates zero SSS
>>1024603Most skin doesn’t have that much translucency. DAZ is not that great but Iray isn’t nearly as bad as people on this thread are making it out to be. Take tachy’s model rip to maya and render her with Arnold using random walk SSS and it will look much closer to the daz render than to the picture on the OP. >>1024074First of all, daz models often look harsh because most characters have harsh features. They’re really masculine even the women. Other than that stellar blade is using UE4 I believe, or 5 but in any case it’s using their real time SSS shader that makes skin look really soft and mushy. You might want to just render in UE5 to get that exact look.
>>1024673>First of all, daz models often look harsh because most characters have harsh features.Is it because of all the chudlines and bad facial features?
Where do people find references for male face sculpting? do they only use celebs? i want them attractive but not those ridiculous models with huge jawlines or very hollow cheeks
You people still can't recognize a bait/troll thread?
>>1024561Take a look in the mirror <3
>>1024601faggot
>>1024576>aaagh i cant get a reference. Theres all these MODELS in the way.
>>1024601Awww how sweet of you anon!>>1024602Wooowww ruuuuuude he was just being nice complimentin' OP's handsome looks
>Zbrush desktop is getting a new UIBlendlets and poorfags in actual shambles, yet again.
>>1023178Alright, but what about the names?
on one hand - about fucking timeon the other - i dont want the main gatekeep to be gone. I feel like this will have a big retard flood coming and polluting the learning resources because ZBrush UI isnt even that hard to learn, just unintuitive as shit.
>>1021759about ten years too late, but a welcome change. >inb4 it gets even more retarded and alien
it will be interesting to see how the new UI feelsI recently spent all night making a comfy one for myself
Great that it's getting a new UI, but also I've tried the ipad zbrush (that the desktop version will be copying) and it's slow as fuck to get to anything. We'll have to wait and see I suppose.
*teaches you nothing*
>>1024373I would like to learn how to make environments like pic related. The problem is that when you look up environmental modeling and sculpting, it's 99% of the time some garbage like house walls and mostly about texturing, or it's aimed at people who just want to shit out renders, not for game assets. Idk how people even become environmental artists cause i can't find decent resources.
I learned everything from indians doing 15 second shorts where they get straight to the point
>>1024373just prompt shit on grok is way easier
>>1024383Learn to paint. Any monkey can push vertices.
>>1023938Sauron never looked so good
I finished this animation last night. Took around 150 hours (including rendering, editing etc). I still can't believe i did it. I set this as a goal when i finished this model 1 year ago, and at the time i had zero knowledge of rigging or animation (other than simple camera animations). My thread where i was asking rigging questions is still up on the board >>1004617 which is kinda funny. And now i made this: https://files.catbox.moe/es25l3.mp4
>>1021486put as much effort you put into everything you do into fixing the shoulders
Nice animation, how do you use your reference video in your work flow? I'm trying to learn with a dance video as a reference but everything looks and feels choppy even when I trace it frame by frame.
>>1021484That character looks zesty for some reason.
>>1024478i set up some of the main key poses of the dance (or part of it) evenly split (like every 8-12 frames or so a key pose) and when each key pose looked right i started adjusting their timing and adding extra key frames and corrective poses in between the main ones. The hardest part was definitely making sure it syncs with the song. Plus i had to cut some of the animations out in editing, maybe like 6 seconds of extra animation. Cuz it didn't fit with the song.
>>1021484Kick ass animation, Anon. Obviously there's things to improve on like trying to get smoother movements, but it's awesome that you finished something.
like im pretty sure im now attracted to ankles after modeling a few of them, what the fuck am i supposed to do with this info. same with wrists, i know how people feel about feet guys but what the fuck are they gonna call me once they know i find women's wrists insanely hot.
>>1024386maybe you just like women faggot
>>1024386wait until you find out about knee pitsalso don't make a fucking thread for something for frivolous you piece of shit
I’m currently learning Unreal and Blender to fulfill an idea I’ve had for a while, kind of do it myself thing. I knew going into this it would be incredibly difficult learning two new programs simultaneously, but for now I’m just focusing on blender and creating assets. I’m learning on the go which is the only way I can, and it’s been two weeks since I started.My project will be a horror themed action/thriller stylized as an early 2000s game. I’m not emulating a specific console for graphics, I’m emulating the data storage techniques used so I can minimize RAM usage altogether, either for universal playability across any type of device and also to have it available for later use with in-game mechanics and huge levels. I don’t want a graphics card to stop any player from being able to play this, while maintaining compatibility within reason of eachother.I say all that to ask this, so far I have some hard set rules for every single modular piece I create, as I’m currently in the very beginning of “grey boxing”. Every unit is in cm to match unreal.Every floor, ceiling, and wall piece fits in a 400 x 400 x 400 box.Every single wall must be 20cm thick.The origin point must be at the bottom left corner of each piece.Before exporting each piece, all transforms to scale 1,1,1.Ensuring faces are pointing correctly, but I’ve opted for boxes for every place instead of a plane to mitigate this just for simplicity and shading/lighting in unreal.Comment too long.

>>1024120>green wavy transparent auraThat's because he doesn't shower
>>1024127I’m not even asking “how do this”, I’ve already started I’m just asking if my checklist is solid going forward so I can build the world in a modular way with minimal backtracking. Learning how to function with the program is obviously up to me, just seeing if anyone else has other things they do for each asset to make it more seamless for this type of project.
>>1024118You say that like AAA studios aren't also infested with trannies
>>1024104I would strongly advise you to use Godot due to it being much LIGHTER and LESS BLOATED. Just open it and see how fast it runs compared to other engines. But more importantly it is MUCH EASIER to learn and use.
>>1024104one thing to keep in mind is instancing your objects in the game world rather than duplicating redundant geometry. if you modeled a house in blender, for instance, you might make a bunch of windows duplicated around it. In a game engine you want a single window model that is instanced in multiple places around the building. You can build scenes directly in the engine to make sure, or you can figure out some way of building scenes with instanced geometry in blender and then transfer it to unreal engine.Also keep the models light and let your textures and normal maps do the work. you would be surprised at how low-poly the models actually are in highly detailed big budget games. I don't know what you're doing with the real-world measurements. that's going to slow you down trying to make everything the perfect size. What matters is that the thickness walls in a particular environment are consistent, so you can snap together instances of walls together in a modular way.You don't have to use booleans to grey box it, but it can make it easier. personally I would just model the walls i'm eventually planning to using, because they are so simple, and grey box with those
How far can I get sculpting only with a mouse instead of a dedicated pad?
>>1023017Eventually you will definitely get into situations frequently where you'd wish analog control over things especially when you start painting. It's not just speed but also ergonomic reasons. Casual hobby sculpting does work with mouse but if you aim for high detail shit that gets several days sunk into it you definitely want a pen at some point. For now just go ahead and instead of thinking and talking just go for it.
>>1023021Like your broke ass is getting any action, nigga can't even afford a tablet
>>1023023I get laid with 0$. Like I said, have sex incel.
>>1023028Autodesk users don't believe in sex for free
>>1023004You can get very far with modeling low to mid poly and flat shaded. But that's modeling, not sculpting.
Soon a new year is upon us, and I will once again try to stick to blender and be a creator and just a dreamer
>>1023684Wow tell it to /adv/, not /3/
Oh look a fresh hellspawned retrotranny HRT "artist" looking for its motivation to do its shitty lowpoly cris garbage
>>1023684Have you tried Terracotta? You can even make your own if you have a river near you.

I don't have any experience sculpting/modeling but I want to start. My main goal is to create MTG/Souls like environments,creatures and characters, but I'd also like to make more fun, stylized stuff. I can't seem to find a step by step guide to develop the skills I want, every tutorial I see is about making specific models which I don't know if they're worth doing or just a waste of time. Here are some things to know:>I've used Blender and Daz in the past to create renders, but not to model or sculpt, so I'm not exactly starting from scratch>I have Zbrush>I have a drawing tablet>I'm interested in this as a hobby, not trying to make money or a career.I guess what I'd like to ask is if there's any structured guide or advice I should follow instead of watching random youtube videos
Many of the "go along" tutorials are the same shit, so just grab one that is modeling/sculpting something you are interested or at least related to it like a basic human/monster and do it, even if it's a slog you will learn something or at least how to use some of the tools. After that you have two optionsStart modeling/sculpting, see what you lack and study it or see other people work and try to replicate it. And if you don't understand something you ACTUALLY NEED, you search a tutorial about it.Go to tutorial hell.
>>1023811>My main goal is to create MTG/Souls like environments,creatures and charactersthe key to this is to just keep layering in texture at finer and finer scales.
It's amazing how anons still reply to a troll thread in good faith
>>1023864There are no non troll threads and i want to talk 3d
>>1023811CG Boost or CG Cookie both have great resources for sculpting and modelling. they cater to blender but for sculpting the process should be much the same idk if this is true for others but in my experience, making realistic stuff somehow feels easier than doing stylized shit, like cartoony stuff or Pokemon or whatever, since those require a strong understanding of shape design and appeal, and being off just a little bit can break the design, whereas with realistic or at least dark fantasy stuff you can kind of go crazy on details and have it turn out alright. only saying that in-case you get pissed off when you're struggling to make something that seems very simple also, unless you just want to be recreating what already exists or what concept artists come up with, you'd need drawing ability. I know, it sucks
I use blender mostly for pinups/static scenes and everytime I try to make my own lighting from scratch it makes me feel like a retard who doesn't know how to use blender. I've seen a few youtube tutorials herre and there, as well as attempting to copy other artists, but feel like I have no foundational knowledge.
>>1022747Understand the intention behind your renderIs it cinematic? Is it a showcase?For cinematic renders you want to use as few light sources as possible. Preferably a sun light source with harsh shadows. For a showcase, increase the angle until you get very soft shadows, duplicate it and decrease the intensity. Don't fall for the natural light meme unless that's your goal, it can look decent but very boring.
Fuck itPost your favorite examples (Movies, shots, etc) you'd recommend to learn lighting fromGod i fucking love rimlights so much
>>1022747There is an excellent series of articles on the theory of lighting made by one of the Lego Batman lighting guys,. You can read it here: https://chrisbrejon.com/cg-cinematography/. For the actual practical "how do I control this shit in Blender?", see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3FnWQTMo9s. This might actually be the only good lighting tutorial for Blender on Youtube. He gives you a basic scene, shows you how to control the lights (what settings to adjust), and then lights the same scene/shot multiple different ways to convey different emotions. The book Framed Ink is easily available in PDF form on the Internet, and while it's in black and white, it should help you further increase the emotion you're trying to convey via scene composition. While you're doing all of this, I'd echo the ideas to watch your favourite movies and to try and re-create the lighting setups in the shot, but in Blender. Hell, download some basic mannequins and pose them in the frame too.I think people in this thread had generally fine advice, but it's disappointing no one actually gave you a book or article to actually study.
>>1024187I wanted to recommend Brejon's blog but i keep forgetting his name every time i require his site lmao.Thanks anon.
>>1022747First set your pubes on fire. Second watch how the flames dance and shine upon your blistering skin paying close attention to the shadows. Third, profit.
