We’re already seeing platforms like NVIDIA GauGAN3D and Adobe Substance 3D that can generate realistic textures and models. Could this have a bigger impact on 3D modeling than it has on digital art? I’m hesitant to invest in a hobby that might be overtaken by lines of code in the near future.

It's kinda weird that blender is included into the pipeline as a rendering engine, is it better than the rest? Or they can't afford marmoset after paying all the other subscriptions?

Whenever I connect the strips with faces when modelling with this sort of method, I always get some triangles.

thank bros, thought I was shit tier modeller cause I always make tri-angles in my models
>>
>>1003413
The "best practice" is not using ngons and not using tris but exclusively using 3-poles and 5 poles. (It's theoretically possible to represent any surface using just quads that with at 3, 4 and 5 vertex neighbors.
This only applies to ancient engines like SFM who can't handle anything but quads for rendering subdivision surfaces. Technically it's faster in blender too if you do it that way.
But: Using also tris and and pentagons is sort of the same thing after it's subdivided at least once.
And shading issues don't really occur with them if they are placed correctly.
>>

You should use triangles tho. You just have to know how to use them.

triangles is not a problem. the problem is that developers forgot that loop subdivision exists.

why do almost all AVN (Adult Visual Novel) developers use Daz3D whilst simultaneously saying blender is superior? is it so much more user friendly that people choose it over an alternative they could produce better work with? I thought all 3D tools had basically the same interface
6 replies omitted. Click here to view.

>>1001476
You'll find that people who have productive lifestyles aren't salty about tools they don't have or don't know how to use being better than what they're working with.
>>
>>1001476
Because Daz is basically an asset browser. Models from Daz have all the generic, boring technical parts already set up ( bone,weight painting, blend shape ... etc ), however they are encrypted into their esoteric format ( duf, dson .... etc ). If you are completely illiterate in 3D you would do your renders in Daz. But people just port it to Blender with Diffeomorphic add-on to further customize the model and render there.

A good chunk of model on smutba.se are just repurposed Daz model with a high res video game character face stitched onto a Daz body, in a .blend file
>>
I'm making a WEG using DAZ Studio, but it's the first and last one. I did it more as an experiment, and it was well received in its first updates, but I'm working to finish it as soon as possible because DAZ Studio is not an appropriate program for this kind of thing. It's fine if you need to make one or two renders for something simple like, I don't know, an advertisement where you need human models or something like that, but that's it. Using the program to create a visual novel, with all the variety of renders and situations, is a total nightmare.
If I continue using these models in the future, it will be to work directly in Blender.
>>
>>1001476
If you can tell the characters are from Daz, the developer is using Daz wrong.
>>
>>1001476
Because Daz3D its only useful as a library and to flip assets, specially characters, its as close as a modeling 101 for retards. But for people that need to generate stuff from scratch or do anything else, its just pretty damn garbage. Blender is at least decent in all of the useful stuff and its free.

Here's a question where the fuck can you upload NSFW content now?

most tutorials for animation simply follow a reference, they don't explain why the body is moving in this way to look convincing. If I follow these tutorials I'm simply copying and not understanding.
Without a reference I don't know how to make my animation look convincing. Are there any tutorials which explain the body movement ?
Sorry if I didn't explain properly, don't know how to quite explain myself.

you want physics based animation. Two joint chains, one affected by physics and bound loosely to the real keyframed skeleton giving cascadeur like results. Test this out with a character set up on a subdivided plane that has a sin wave modifier. Set this up in in a dcc

artstation is not the place to get critique. The majority of it is ai generated and the other part moves too quick and never gives you any feedback. Freelancing or studio work is lame and you WONT be making what you want to make, that is guaranteed. The only guarantee is that you will soon start hating what you are forced to do and burnout. The only way to go is to make what you like to make, 100% of the time. Hollywood studios and media is dead anyway.

Been following tutorials for a good 6 months and while I’m somewhat confident with c4d now it still seems such a daunting thing to learn.

Am I wasting my time with tutorials?
>>
>>1004822
Yeah, it might feel slow but you’re learning. Remember though you should also probably start making your own shit and finding solutions as you go
>>
>>1004822
It's best used as reference to be aware of a set of methods that can be employed to achieve something.
Watching tutorials to get a feel for how people are doing things is useful but trying to slavishly follow them tend to stifle your learning
as you don't think creatively about the 'how's' and 'why's' you are doing something a particular way the way the individual who came up with the workflow had
to think about it to arrive at the formula.

Experimentation guided by tutorials or drawing inspiration from tutorials is a better approach.

It's a balance act whether to look at someone else's homework and doing it yourself; 'autodidacts' who learn a field on their own develop a higher level ingenuity
and intuition for it and are better at coming up with novel approaches on the fly and tend to be the ones that break thru to discover new better methods as they are not as rigid in their thinking as someone who was told what to do by a seasoned expert and adhere to what was provided as dogmatic gospel.

A subset of them are typically the ones that eventually grow into the sort of experts that are studied for impressive workflows as they are breaking the new ground.

The price they pay is that they are exposed to fewer concept and at a lower rate than someone who routinely takes aboard formulaic methods
and follow them to near algorithmic perfection. Autodidacts tend to have more blind-spots as a result not having as extensive knowledge as fast

Great post. Although it seems damn near impossible to come up with an improvised “trial and error” way of having good topology. This is what I struggle with the most from a graphic design background. I don’t really have the logical mathematical mind that’s required for that stuff. Seems there’s a definite “right” with it that you have to follow otherwise you end up with no end of glitches and ugly oroblems later

No child, that would be shitting on ray-tracing (which is justified btw). PBR isn't the hip cool thing everyone is talking about, it's the norm. Going against the established isn't contrarian, it's profound.

You know what else is an opinion? How all the games that have aged well graphically in the last 10 years are stylized and don't look like unity asset flips with - surprise surprise - generic PBR models. Oh, is that a new game you're playing or is it from 2016? Nobody knows because it looks like shit! Because effort takes time! Because actually thinking about materials takes time! Because writing shaders takes time! Nobody will notice anyway look at these magic numbers it's soooo realistic. Enjoy your opinion.
