trying to get a npr rig of a "doughnut" and "biscotti" working im using a cloth sim to simulate "doughnut jiggle" and im struggling to get the "biscotti" to penetrate through the donut hole and then have the hole return to its regular shape,also trying to simulate "coffee liquid and bubbles" to spill out of the donut hole,since its npr so it dosent have to be realistic and the less intense it is on my pc the betterany suggestions or tutorials you can recomend?
>>1026344How do you know what a dog vulva looks like?
>>1024300How would you do a hotdog sliding between two large buns roughly D size?
>>1026366You say that like dogs normally wear pants.
>>1026477Conserve volume cloth simulations
>>1026477You can to that with a shrinkwrap constraint
I think making a 10min video was quite retarted, most of the big animation channels I've seen don't even have 15min of video content combinedi need to adapt to tiktok 10second attention spam era, but honestly can't think of any ideas
>>1029038You are >give muh ideas indirectly for my shitty tranny anime le depression reels xdYou are crying, comparimg yourself
>>1029032What do you do for commissions? Are those also 3d stuff?
>>1028876Loved your animation OP!
>>1029038>>1029032Please don't get one shot by the chink schizo
>>1029039yeah and I've finished, so I can focus on this again i hope to finish the animation in 3 weeks>>1029050>>1029068loveeeI'll also change the art style and make it look more like blender
>no, you can't save your animation, you have to mark those keyframes you're working on as having a "Fake User" or we'll GC them out of existenceWho came up with this shit? Fuck blender.
>>1029230>people who are approaching full project completionThat's not what was being said. The example was about a clueless tard using blender for the first time and thrashing his memory by reimporting a high poly models made by OTHER PEOPLE twenty milion times so he could graft the titties from some MMD model onto the latest overwatch roster addition. This is _not_ an experienced user.You do not have to be beyond beginner level to fill your memory with junk. A beginner is likely to do that than otherwise. A _beginner_ is likely to start sculpting by remeshing a cube into literally 20 million vertices in one button press and then attempt to repeatedly boolean several deep copies of that abomination with some other bullshit.This whole discussion is retarded because it is a non-issue. No matter how the system was designed, anyone realistically making anything worth preserving would already have been made aware of the workings long before being at risk of losing anything to ignorance. You can type out word vomit paragraphs over how it's imperfect and yadda, but IT IS NOT A REAL WORLD ISSUE.It's like shitting on walking just because it's not obvious that you need to transfer your weight to the supporting leg while you move the other forward, in order not to fall. Ok, fine, so you will fall. Maybe even get a boo-boo. It will NOT ruin your olympic competition because it's not realistically possible to be this ignorant at that point.
>>1029256>The example was about a clueless tard using blender for the first time and thrashing his memory by reimporting a high poly models made by OTHER PEOPLE twenty milion times so he could graft the titties from some MMD model onto the latest overwatch roster addition. So ok, by your logic, because the user's work is so lowly, if he happens to cause a crash and lose his work, then nothing of value was lost. By your logic, he would have that one bad experience, immediately learn about the memory issue, and avoid it from then on. So then why set up a system where memory is automatically cleared? Instead of pressing the "please don't delete this" button, he can just not create the memory issue in the first place.
>>1028683ill agree with this GIMP is retarded but it's well known that author of GIMP is menially retarded.

How do I learn to make shit like this? This is much higher quality than anything I can make, detail-wise, lighting-wise and atmosphere-wise in general. He says he makes it in Blender.
>>1026965it's much much easier than you think IF you're using premade stuffif the guy literally did the character modeling, rigging, animation, modeling, texturing, fx and so on great workotherwise the hard part is to place the objects honestly
>>1026965some weird perspective shit happening when the camera looks down. i don't think that city is real so that makes recreating it a lot simpler
>>1026965That's fucking incredible while I desperately want Akira adapted in this style!!!FACT!!!
>>1026965Its a lot of work but i think a lot of it will be cheats. I'd wager 90% of the buildings are just boxes with some kind of tiling (office lighting) texture. Then you have a few billboards and things to break it up and direct your attention.
>>1026983Learn atmospheric perspective
Just how groundbreaking was this video back then?
>>1019195Relatively groundbreaking, considering these were the seeds ReBoot came from.I'd argue there's some things that were more groundbreaking like Wrath of Khan's Genesis sequence, but there really wasn't a lot of things like it outside of commercials or broadcast graphics. And certainly not a whole lot of character animation that weren't simply in-house tests.
This was crazier.
>>1028115xplain
>>1019195>Just how groundbreaking was this video back then?OP isn't old enough to remember it, but I do, and it felt like the dawn of a new era in animation that eventually led to Toy Story being the first all CGI animated movie released theatrically!!!FACT!!!
>>1028991>xplainFirst all CGI character in a movie.....https://youtu.be/uOsxXi-tu_U?si=-b_jxmCBcKiSiS2p!!!FACT!!!

AI will take our jobs! The ones none of us have!.
>>1010467>grok Literally one of the worst tools for this shit out there lmao use actual specialized tools for AI 3D art
There’s no way there’s actual 3D artists out there that don’t want the workflows to be more simplified, they literally feel like stone age crap compared to what AI is already allowing us to do, maybe just the autists that obsess over getting their perfect topology by hand don’t want this. AI will be a perfect fit for 3D
I haven’t kept up with the progress that AI has had for 3D asset making. How capable is it? Is it still worth learning if I want to make money off it?I don’t want to sound like one of those people who coped when AI art was in its infancy and we thought the pictures of Master Chief standing in line at gas stations couldn’t possibly make art as good as a well trained artist, but even with my pessimistic view on how AI is going to ruin the internet, I just can’t see the technology being able to replace a 3D artist. It would probably make the process easier in some ways but you probably are going to need someone to use it until we have AI that can literally think like a human with the full knowledge and intuition of a 3D artist, which if it existed, it’s probably way too advanced and expensive for most people to afford I’ve seen those AI programs that can take an image and generate a 3D mesh, but even when you take account that the topology usually sucks and needs manual editing, you still have to UV unwrap it carefully so it doesn’t show distortion, texture it realistically or fine tune it to fit an aesthetic, bake features onto it for extra details, then put in a skeleton and weight paint it in a way that prevents unwanted deformation and achieves specific effects like jiggling or rigid movements in certain directionsI don’t think an AI could look at a chubby character and rig it in a way that an autistic but wealthy furry would want, or see a robot/mecha and precisely place the bones and restrict their relative movement that the design implies. Can someone cut the doomer mentality and tell me what AI is actually good for with 3D asset generation?
>>1026080making the meshes is insanely good if you're willing to combine them. retopo is okay. texturing is straight up awful. rigging is nonexistent par simple canine or humanoid skeleton without fingers or face. Tripo3D is by far the best atm but it's 20 bucks. as for open source there's not a single even half decent model.
>>1010467Don't worry OP, as long as there are gloryholes and cocks to suck, you'll never be out of work until the heat death of the universe while from what I understand your father got you the job who, in turn, got it from his father, your grandfather...https://youtu.be/diYS8jyOcFc?si=tlw6crphrvZK_BrY!!!FACT!!
Is using ai as a refrerence for your characters bad?
If you blindly copy Ai reference yes. If you use it for ideation and don't add retarded details no.
>>1026905>googled to see if this was real>the image just comes back to this thread
>>1026860Personally, I wouldn’t use AI generated images not just because of ethical reasons but because a lot of the time AI isn’t accurate. AI can and will contain many mistakes that will probably make 3D modeling things a whole lot harder (especially with hair and clothing detail) not to mention AI feeds directly off of other people‘s artwork, which means that the character designs that you’re generating are stolen. (I hope this doesn’t come off as me trying to bitch at you for using AI btw.) >>1026862I’m not very good at 3D modeling, but I am fairly experienced in drawing. I can tell you from personal experience the being able to draw is incredibly helpful when it comes to 3D modeling not just when it comes to character designs or reference images, but also in knowing how anatomy works. That’s not to say that drawing will make you a 3D modeling master. I fucking suck at 3D modeling but I would probably suck more if I didn’t know how. I would start off with modeling pre-existing characters to have simplistic body shapes and minimal detail such as characters from happy tree friends or powerpuff girls. Either way I wish you luck. Drawing experience or not picking up 3D modeling is a total bitch and it’s super hard to learn.
>>1028871Is that Shantae as a Mega Man Zero/ZX character?
>>1026860as long as you aren't using it for paid content, the only people who are going to give a fuck are the "ai bad" purists.it's a tool. just like anything else we use. there are a plethora of issues with how it's being implemented right now, and the legitimacy of the content it generates. but, hopefully those get addressed soon-ish. but for the time being, it's best use case is for spitballing ideas. since youre mainly planning to use it as a reference, and not for use on the actual model, you should be fine. just dont directly 'trace' the picture itself.
Are there any free VR 3D animating softwares (or relatively cheap ones that are worth the price)? I asked 2 different LLMs and got nothing, so I'm all out of ideas.At least being able to move and rotate with both hands would be good, but better if it could use full-body tracking as primitive mocap.I was considering making my own (since I was going to mess around with VR game dev anyway), but I thought one would have existed.
>>1029190>vr game devNot needed. Oversaturated. I'm sure your country offers apprenticeships as an electrician instead.
>>1029190no, there are no good VR creative softwares at all>we just haven't done that yet, plus VR sticks are less intuitive than a keyboard, which you can't see while using a headset because it covers your eyesI would suggest asking a 3rd LLM
>>1029214>Thinks 3DCG is needed and not oversaturatedI'm currently in a course for that, but can't an n'wah have hobbies?Wasn't actually making a game so much as a training sim that can measure my speed to know if I'm actually improving. I do training with weighted clothes but the issue with that is I am not being forced to maintain/increase how quickly I move. Putting that in the preface would have been a little unhinged, and it's not really that important to know.So don't worry, I'm not gonna be making a game that'll make yours look derivative (unless you were also making some schizo VR training sim to force yourself to move faster via VR obstacles, and maybe also some martial arts if I can figure out how to train a rig on fight videos which I am pretty sure I have seen done already)Even though I started with game dev, I only really program random tools that I need.
>>1029216If so, I'll start working on one (obviously there are some, but I don't want to pay).Any suggestions? I can't figure out an easy way to integrate the VR directly to Blender. I know there's a Blender VR viewer, but I'm not sure how to interface with that programmatically and when I tried using it I just kept getting a black screen (it could be a version issue, as I saw something saying Blender 5.0 broke the addon).If I can't figure out how to get Blender VR working and adding animation functionality, my next idea was to use Godot (because Unity and Unreal Engine have gotten rather bloated). It shouldn't be too hard to be able to export an animation, even if it's just as a custom file which needs to manually processed with a python addon for Blender. IK bones are fairly easy to program, and Godot should support shape keys and physics/ragdolls (the idea of being able to just throw characters around would be very funny, even if not very useful).Mocap with full body tracking should be fairly easy once IK has been setup, but I need to finish building more SimeVR trackers to get it working.
will my CPU really cook itself if I try to use FreeCAD? I don't normally have any reservations about piracy but since I'm actually going to be making things with it I feel differently about CAD software, if possible I want my tools to belong to me indisputably, as a point of pride
>>1028698then will it run like shit and crash all the time from the cpu choking it?
>>1028700Nope
>>1028694I used frerlecad in a shitty ass laptop from 15 yrars ago, It should work
It's 2026. We're beyond this. "It'll cook your cpu" is hyperbolic poetry. It will run, run slowly, or not run.
>>1028694I've never tried to use a CAD programme on a basic spec pc. I could imagine a version from the 2000s would work better with low specs. Depends on what you want to be using it for.
I perfected the workflow required to pump these babies out within a few minutes, kek. Working the textures is easy with Gemini too but it's a pain to remove the watermark, kek. The only thing left is to automate the watermark removal and my AI powered 3D workflow will be finally ready for product. The assets for my harem game will be mostly done via these means. One issue is that the faces have to be done manually because of the sheer difference between the lolis like different hairstyles. I was thinking of a 4 dimensional array to store different configurations of features, so the harem can have almost limitless amounts of loli concubines. Fear not, my chuds, for I will also automate all this and document the process in this thread, kek.
>>1028758trying too hard, shit bait
Update.>>1029000No one forcing you to stay, chuddy.
>>1029004Cris just can't stop winning and BTFOING /3/ 6 feet down
Cris is alive and well but this is not a real Cris thread. Pretending to be Cris is a crime most foul.While this most mimics his vernacular the posting style doesn't align with the Real Deal, true Cris makes liberal use of reddit spacing to increase the raw volume of his post and the real Cris would never kek 4+ times in one paragraph. It also follows too coherent of a narrative, a planned post, carefully reviewed, rather the masterful brush strokes that spontaneously emerge from the Real Deals stream of consciousness.
>>1028808Almost in tears at this ass
It only took me 2 years to figure out how to take my 2023 pixel art workflow and turn it into HD anime renders.Pretty happy with this.

Help me fags, im struggling with this topology
>>1026573No, I'm saying it sucks compared to doing it without the cube
I bet that this: >>1026563 has better shading than this: >>1026566The brown loop around the face will likely give the perimeter of the face cleaner shading.
>>1026598Almost certainly so. In addition >>1026566 hjas a 6-pole on the contour of the 3/4 view angle. Its outlines are going to be random bullshit totally outside of artistic control.
redpill: there's no need for the topology to cater to the nose/eye/mouth, just make the face flat and fill in the details with textures
>>1029081>textures
