I want to make it so a model I made has the ability to hide the vaginal area and make it smooth. How can I accomplish this without having to duplicate the model, remodel it and redo textures?

>>1028874
-model the body with the smooth version and the detailed version as a separate mesh.
-Use a vertex group with a mask modifier to be able to toggle the visibility of the smooth version, and have the detailed version's border vertices be an exact duplicate of the hole the mask creates, weights included. Now you can switch between both versions. A normal transfer modifier will then perfectly hide the seam

I learned of Charmorph.

this shit is dope, I sculpt in real life with monster clay and this software is the closest thing to that experience. Layering on top of voxels instead of sculpting unmanagable vertices in blender.

Z brush is probably better and similar to this but that's too expensive for some hobby 3d modelling

Don't worry, I've already come up with a couple of good ideas for some shorts, they still require some work because they involve complex scenarios, but I really hope this gives me a boost

This will only be temporary though, the goal will always be to be able to start making my full series

>>1028876
If you really wanted to go all in with quantity over quality, focus on reduction of animation time. Anyone can create idea's, (if your extremely bankrupt in the creative department use AI for scripting) not everyone can reduce the animation time needed to complete them.
Here are some:
-lower your frame rate
-use lots of panning shots where the camera moves but the character does not
-use pre-recorded stills ala a PNG tuber.
-Make the background or image rather than modeling an environment.
-Use high vis / neon colors and loud noises
-Try to encapsulate small, meme-able moments (roughly 1-3 seconds) with facial animation.

Because data in blender is reference counted.

As you might know, data in blender - whether it's mesh data, animation data, image data, material data, and so on - isn't married to its container, it just exists.
You can spawn a new monkey head and a new cube, then select the cube and set it to use the monkey head mesh data. And then this object will retain the original cube's modifier stack, object transforms, and other object data, but its mesh data will now be shared with the monkey head object. If you edit the monkey head object, the changes will be visible on both objects, as the monkey head mesh will be used by both. You can then clone the currently used mesh data on an object to create a new mesh data copy you can work on without new changes appearing elsewhere.

This is flexible, but creates a problem: deleting a container (like an object is for mesh data) doesn't actually do anything to free the memory used by the mesh data, as mesh data exists independently. Deleting an object only removes the object with its object data - modifiers, custom properties, transforms, etc.

So all data is reference counted. Any object that uses the data adds a 1 to this data's reference count. And removing a user subtracts a 1. That way if the object is used anywhere, the reference count is guaranteed to be above 0. And if it's unused, it'll be 0.
This count is used by the garbage collection system to determine if the data should really be deleted from memory for good, or not. The scan typically kicks in when you reload the file.

Yet that may be problematic for data you wish to store, but don't want to use right at this moment. Like animations.
This is why the "fake user" button exists. While toggled, it adds a 1 to the data's ref count, meaning the data's ref count will not be 0, and thus will not be deleted even if it's unused.

>>1028794
>Because data in blender is reference counted.
Why'd the supposed computer nerds making blender take one of the worst things in programming and bring it to animation?

>>1028885
Because referencing data makes the software perform better would be my guess. You don't want to store and process unused or copies of data

>>1028885
It's not that animation is singled out, that's the architecture of the program. Memory management doesn't care if it's removing unused animation data, image data or mesh data. That makes the system more robust because you don't have separate code for separate data types.
Reference counting most data is mostly intuitive because generally if you want to keep some data, you keep it in a scene, even if it's in a hidden layer or scene. It just so happens that the way animation data is often used, like if you were making a game model with an animation library, often forces you to disassociate it from the target armature, which removes said data's only user.

Since blender is a modeling program, it needs to be flexible, so duplicating the same data for every instance of it is not a good approach. And the only approaches to managing shared data reliably are manual "registers" for a given data type, and automatic management like blender does.

Take material data for example. Materials are generally shared by many objects. In 3dsmax, there's a separate register for materials, you manually add and remove materials there, and assign them to objects from there. There's probably some button for autoremoving unused materials from the register somewhere, but the last version of max I used was 9 so I don't remember.
Material data is just data like any other in blender, so it's managed automatically. Any unused materials will be removed automatially after enough save/reload cycles (if you delete an object with a 1 user mesh using a 1 user material, the first cycle will remove the mesh data as it will have lost its sole user - the object, and the second will remove the material as it will have lost its sole user - the mesh).

It's true that this is sometimes jank to the user. But DCC users aren't really the "general public", so intuitiveness takes a backseat to efficiency. But if you were talking about a videogame or a website, user friendliness would be most important.

no that's 3D in general, it be complicated

I'm looking around and I think it might be impossible to set up a material in such a way that it ignores the depth buffer (renders on top of everything). All solutions appear to be completely fucking insane gobbledegook about having an entirely separate object in a different scene. I'm going to lose my mind if this is actually the case.

To add to this. There's no reason you need to go around telling anyone you used ai references. Show off the model you made, not your image planes.

>>1026931
Are you saying you would use AI if it didn't take more electricity than the electricity and compute you've spent while drawing digitally on your computer?
In that case, I may have a bad news...

I don't think so, take this model here (unfinished obviously) as an example.

I couldn't find any clean images or downloads of this model from a now defunct Fortnite mode anywhere. What I did have avaliable was a short Twitter clip of the characters performing some animations.

After some real head scratching and trial and error, I just couldn't get a decent turnaround for moddelling. Then, I ask Gemmini to upscale the inital rest pose and create a side pose.

Is it perfect, no of course not, it has no idea what the model looks like from the side, and it'll be a bit off, but its more than enough of a base. And that's what Anti-Ai chuds will never understand. I used Ai to help fill in the non existant knowlege gaps, not compeletely replace the creative process. I still need to shift and pull the model until it looks right, rig it so it moves right and texture it so it looks correct. Me, the human does all this, not AI, it does the parts I can't do, and I take it from there.

Using AI can be a slippery slope, sure, but if you're self aware, smart and savy enough to know where to use it, and where to show restraint and do it yourself, you will always pull ahead of those who insist on placing themselves at their polar extreme of the argument.

No. I do it all the time. I even use Hytem3D to make a 3D sculpt of it. There are even more tools for topology, but I like to do it by hand once I'm on this stage. Still, doesn't hurt every now and then to do it yourself.

If you blindly copy Ai reference yes. If you use it for ideation and don't add retarded details no.

Okay let's have this talk.

How do you guys do your jiggling.

Physics or Rigging approach?

I feel like the physics approach feels more realistic but also somewhat restrained? You can not fine-tune the look to how you want it to be.

This might just be a skill issue as well.

When I look at popular gacha-games and their models they appear to be using a bone based approach at least.

What do you think is the more elegant/better looking way?

>>1028356
simple rig + shape keys for specific poses

wiggle bones will do 99% of the work

Any tips for modeling female hands for animation?
The left is my attempt following a tutorial, right is the general shape I want (it was triangulated and I tried tris to quads but topo is obviously shit). That tutorial makes wide gaps between the fingers and the fingers look like sausages. I want the fingers to be a little blocky.

>>1028544
You have the models side by side, use proportional editing and sculpt mode to touch up the one on the left until it has the proportions of the one on the right. Along the way you'll figure out what exactly makes the right one look right
