I've been running integrated graphics on my ryzen 5 5600g and I keep getting crashes during renders, I assume the 500mb vram keeps running out or something anyway I figure I need a GPU, Im looking at either an rx7600, rx6650 xt, a770 if I find a good deal, something like thatcurious to hear what you guys are running
>>978576better for what? what are you going to use that card ?
It's going to be a sad day when the 4090 is no longer king and I lose my big dick energy. Then all I'll have going for me is my personality and it'll truly be over
Memory chips on my GPU are failing, causing the monitor to have massive amounts of artifacts on the screen and some sections to not work at all. This gpu only lasted me a year and a half. What should I do now? I used to be running on dual gpu with a 60 series, and now I had to remove the faulty one, so I'm running on single gpu and my render times have doubled.
>>963619this, don't get the higher end cards for a gen that is just about to end, just before it ends

>>982369Have you tried getting a degree in psychology instead of posting?
>>982373No, what for?
>>982369I'm the guy you responded to, thanks for providing a legit sounding answer. I suppose the people nostalgic for this are the ones who are maybe half a decade younger than me and this is part of their connection to what then remained of a 'pre-internet' type world. Obv the internet was already there for them but it was in it's infancy without the social networks, tubesites and smartphones etc.I guess I understand what they say when talk about how legacy media and games had more 'soul' I'd tend to agree with that statement.Where I'm lost is when they point to things like 'Frutiger aero' and 'Bryce 3D' type aesthetics as representative of that 'soul'because to me that would represent the peak 'soul-less' of that era they're reaching back to. Maybe it's more about having something easily reproducible that's just iconic for the time. Like how ugly juxtaposed neon colors & slalom patterns can invoke certain 80's nostalgia.

>GodotMissing features and lacks artistic improvement to match with Unreal and Unity>BlenderAll marketing PR talk, no real experience in using Blender. Knows nothing about the real reason.>Open source Open source projects doing dumb things like glTF animation implementation, dead software, not documenting important stuff, heavy relaying on Blender instead of other 3D software>Unity and UnrealThey have a monopoly in 3D games, not a single open source can export to console. Open source projects limits artists like you and me with dumb ideas like TIFF format. Heavy restrictions to Windows only. Dumb downloads for developers like Microsoft Visual Studio. None of that matters with Unity or Unreal.Never trust YouTubers
>>982294You're kind of a fucking idiot thinking people dont know Godot is still lacking a lot of tools. His whole video was about going to Godot because it is free and open source like Blender and won't get Jewed like Unity that he was using for the past years. Him taking on Godot and getting people into it is planting seeds in hopes of Godot improving in the future.You're ignoring a lot of context to make yourself mad.
>>982294Its rendering, physics (with Jolt) and audio are fine for my requirements.If a project needs high-end graphics, Unreal is way better. Otherwise, Godot seems perfectly adequate.It's saved me a ton of time, and has many useful features that an off the shelf render engine wouldn't provide, like file compression/decompression, support for various file formats, networking, graphics tablet support, and surely a lot of other stuff I don't even know about
>>982294>you might just grab an off the shelf render engine and start from the ground upquit talking out of your ass, retardI replaced some of Godot's nodes with a custom system and I still use nodes for anything graphics/audio related because it's a lot of fucking work to replace them and they work just fine.You have never written anything "from the ground up".

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?
>>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.:)
>>981331does it pass the "3d turing test"? (aka a blender doughnut)
>>981331Whenever people talk about a new generative AI that will cause massive layouts, a bunch of legal barriers appear on the way once it gets popular enough. Either that or it's not as good as people claim it to be. Being only used to recreate models that have already been done to death and not much else.
spend days looking for the reason the rig kept getting fucked and deformed, went trough all bones and realized for some reason blender put 50% strength of all the mesh on both breast bones........ removed them and now it works as intended with automatic weightsbut now when i try to move the character the mesh doesnt move at all even with the right weights on, help?

>>982452Oh come on that’s a fuck ton of lies, Maya has working Python and working software. Your point of Blender’s freedom doesn’t apply because of the software cheating to create a phantom version of the files. Blender can’t create anything without additional plugins and can’t maintain the level of detail without bugs. Not even the most experienced Blender users can understand bone structure, the dumbest developers decided to never care about such things. It won’t matter how great the project will work in Blender because it doesn’t in real world applications.
>>982470>Blender can't create anything without additional pluginsThis sentence means nothing, its just blank ignorant statement towards a software you dont like/are afraid to learn to use. Provide an example or gtfo>Bone structureThe way blender handles bones is admittedly stupid because its stubbornly keeps to itself while other even non autodesk software maintain the joint hierarchy structure which autodesk set. 4.2 seems to be headed in the bone hierarchy direction and imo they're easing the users into the more accepted hierarchy structureThis also does not refute my point of letting the modelers use what they want.Regarding plugins- if youve ever been in a professional environment, you probably realized that most will have custom tools and even modified versions of maya to suit their specific needs. The good thing about blender being open source is that professional programmers could essentially tailor make a complete custom version of the software tailor made for the needs of your pipeline. You cant so this with autodesk products, or you can but its highly limited by the propriety locks.
>>982490Yes, this problem >>982233And this one >>981764Big problem here: >>981381Last one: >>970017You’re never getting any fixes for these problems and the blender developers don’t care. Also, you people are trying to make it into CAD capability but failed to even mention how to import and export DAW files or similar software. Blender is not worth anything.
It should be illegal for companies to only sell subscriptions for their programs.

I made product renderings for a client and it went great but now the client is asking for an animation like vid related.I tried the (newly updated) particle simulation in C4D to try to create a body of liquid and also tried xParticles but both runs like shit on my M1 MacBook. I tried my best to optimize the simulations following multiple tutorials online but I cant get semirealistic results.Now that I am thinking about it I might be vastly overcomplicating things since I basically just need to raise the product from a plane that somewhat sticks to the object.Does anyone have an idea for a method I could use to achieve the effect in a much simpler way? I must be missing something.
>>981778VFX just means you do it as compositing in a videoediting software. You render out your mesh and a depth pass and inside your video editing software you'd set up layers to blend it all together to make a transition between your CGI and your other layer using your Z-depth.I work real-time stuff so I haven't touch any videoeditor in years but 'adobe premiere' and 'after effects' was what I used back in the day and it was really easy to just jump in and use those as it's basically a photoshop for videos and I already knew my way around photoshop inside out. There's probably better suites available, all the VFX tryhards used different software back then too but I can't recall their name.

>>981711>>981695OP's video is using a high viscosity fluid sim in reverse.
I've been using SourceFilmmaker over the past year to make a voiced-acted visual novel. It's called "Please Fur My Wife" and Pizza Girl is one of the heroines that you can date.There's a demo out and you can see a few completed SFW scenes at youtube.com/@chadchan3dThe game's premise is that you're one of the last humans in a world of furries. This was an NTR fetish parody game (still is) but it's growing into a story about furries vs humans.

So what are the 3dcg related updates? Have you made any transparent sprites you can reuse?
>>982250The updates are in using 3DCG for storytelling. I made sprites initially but felt that it was visually limiting so I chose instead to make a million renders for everything. In hindsight, sprites is the right way for an efficient workflow.
>>982253How much is every ren
>>982280Every render is about 8mb but when the project is compressed for distribution, each render becomes about 200kb. As of now the project has 1,300 renders.
Need help, I'm relatively new to charactermodeling in blender and ambitiously chose to go for an anime-ish style. I edited the normals to make the lighting more presentable, but to my knowledge you cant edit the normals for individual shapekeys, which sucks because facedeformation messes with the light.Is there a quick and easy work around for this or do I have to redo my shapekeys manually, but better?It's supposed to be a game asset at the end of the day.
>>982233 (OP)that is done with normal transfer.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCDENUgqPEBjWoaDwXo2KEgwHaSovNcgC
>>982236Cant be exported>? Cant be exported to what? I use custom normals in a unity project and they imported fine
If you're using data transfer in Blender to keep the face normals working through deformations via shape keys, just know that deformations will still break the face normals on export to Unity/Unreal. You'll have to modify the face normals per frame like how CC2/Arc System Works handle it.
>>982257Another solution which I've seen used in Hi-Fi Rush and Genshin Impact is to use an SDF texture. You'll have to set up a custom shader in Unity/Unreal but the huge benefit here is that face deformation of any kind won't destroy the normals. Downside is that you're essentially using psuedo lighting. It's not 'real' but it doesn't matter.
>>982258This, the best sol
Is lowpoly handpainted still a thing? Is blizzard still hiring tons of artists for WoW assets? What do you guys think of my ancient tome?
Low poly 3D is currently trending. But the texture work is typically low resolution as well, in order to simulated early 3D graphics like the Playstation 1 and 2. I think high resolution painted textures look better than low res pixelated textures. But I personally find the WoW style appalling to look at. I'm more of a Wind Waker kind of guy.I don't know what Blizzard is doing. But some of my favorite indie games could have benefited from better texture work. Like a Hat in Time would benefit from higher quality textures. Maybe knock on some doors in the indie space to see if they have work?Tome looks cool.
You wanna make your portfolio you make this same book in a dozen different styles.

>>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

If you're actually good, it won't matter what software you're using. They all do the same shit, especially these days, the differences between them is negligible in 99% of cases. Blender's free and convenient, so just use that until you're good enough to make money, then pickup whatever your studio/client wants you to pickup.Unless you're some kind of small brain who can't handle learning new software. Then get Maya, Zbrush, and Houdini.
