You’re only liking the looks not the better opportunities and practice of low poly models. Did you really think Captcom would ever allow to spend alots of money on a game that would sell less. No, they won’t and it’s why you people won’t get one.

I do illustrations like pic rel with the mesh tool in illustrator but it's extremely laborious and takes far too much time to flesh out one idea. I also hate illustrator's workflow, if you make one mistake you have to retrace your steps and it just chews up more time.

My illustration style may as well be 3d at this point but would it be easier in 3d? The mesh structure is practically the same, and lighting would be way easier.

Pic rel not my art I just dont want to dox myself by posting real art.
>>
>>986048
A lot of things are probably a lot easier to do with 3D tools at that point.
Haven't touched illustrator in decades but back then doing 2D vector looking stuff in max was a lot easier past the very basics.
animation, sliding pivots having all the animation constraints ability to key and animate materials and UV's etc.

Using a 3D app for vector 2D back then gave you a lot of additional functionality and ease of use.
Can't speak to illustrator as it exist today as I haven't touched it since probably ~98.

That is not true. In the first place the artist is the owner of his creation even though he uses open source software. This is also the case if the author offers the files for free download. What I need are models and animations that are explicitly released for free and for every usage by the creator. For example by including an open source license text like the CC0 licence.

I prefer Blender, but Maya is really good. Its fun to use, too, but I can't explain why. Zbrush is just a little annoying to me. Its almost "esoteric" in design.
>>
>>987950
I use blender to box model, Maya to animate, and z brush to add more poly. Z brush you need to 9000% adjust the UI cause the default is dogshit and hardcore splatter on the wall and floor diarrhea all in one.

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/@chadchan3d

The 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.

Did you want to actually learn how to rig in Max, or just churn out shitty controls you don't even understand?
They even go out of their way to explain why primary bone rotation axis should be Z.
>newer/faster/easier methods
For what exactly? Skeleton setup? Weighting? Attribute setting? Reaction linking? Slide joint helpers?
I'd only ignore the maxscript tutorial for weightpainting since there are better ones out there. Everything else is completely relevant to understanding the basics.
paul neale has a 3hr lecture explaining the very basics of using maxscript to automate a lot of building blocks, but its unnecessary for a hobbyist and impossible to follow without understanding how to do everything manually first. Hes also shit at explaining programming concepts since hes a technical artist.
Max is actually rather bad for rigging, if you want something easier go pick up Maya.

I'm using the old Max 8 to do one character rig and porting a skeleton to my model, all for an old game as a mod. There might be some things I encounter looking at developer's rigs I would like to learn more about. No issues if I drop in questions here and there from time to time? I think they're fairly very similar to modern structures, just more simpler since the bone density isn't high.

Clean circular quad loops around the deformation area with higher vertical density for them to give better deformation

Always do all important loops first during retopology (knees, legs, shoulder, neck, mouth, eyes, ankles, hands) then retopology the body

>>
>>986737
"low poly" is a relative term to describe the mesh that you bake the details onto from the "high poly" mesh. It can be 5k and 150k depending on the project and artstyle.
"midpoly" is a type of mesh where you don't really bake anything and rely on manipulating vertex normals to achieve a desired shading result.
>>
>>988939
One day I will learn how to bake things

If I'm serious about animation and modeling should I get a Wacom Cintiq or other similar tablet?

Right now I do everything with just my mouse. Is a tablet something mandatory or optional? Does it provide a significant improvement to workflow? And do I need a tablet like a Wacom if I want to work professionally or would something like an artist 15.6 pro work?

I have the money, I just want to know if I need this or if it will help substantially in my career.

I feel like screen tablets are useless unless you can afford one big enough to make the UI not teeny tiny. And even then you have to adjust to your cursor floating around like a bubble level which would drive me crazy. Just get a cheap regular Wacom tablet.
