thank you! although i do like her ingame model. I want to add the details like her face tats and eyeshadow as texture detail, this is all just mesh work rn :)

Wood nut in cider / 10
But seriously, it looks good. It may not be perfect, for example the body proportions could be better, perhaps more details and more defined features on the clothing etc., but overall this is solid work. You are definitely on to something and it's better than 99% of what is usually being shared around here (looking at Cris)
>>
very nice anon
>>
>>1028985
thx :) i struggled a bit with her ears and ill work on them some more i think, wondering how much detail should be in da base mesh vs textures etc
im worried that if i post in highly competitive art spaces they will shit on me for box modelling instead of scultping tho lolol, i just rlly dont like sculpting figures at all

>>1028988
thx anon i am gonna keep tweaking her proportions bcus i know it looks a bit off, ive worked some more tho

im planing on getting a building technology and mep certs, and learning the shit out of revit to get some autodesk certs, and looking for bim jobs, i just dont see myself living from 3d animu waifus all my life bros.

if the firm uses autocad, avoid them.
if the consultants don't use revit, avoid them.
if you're going to be a drafter, make and use a revit template.
if you're going to be a bim manager, model everything in-house.
if you're going to be a architect, you don't need any of this shit.

no architect, even though i love brutalism i dont want to be an achitect.
also have an idea to probably offer digital twins in an either vr app in unity for interiors or viz app in unreal. but dont know if its a good idea and too much work.

>why? i mean revit uses autocad files for reference base, yes?
Nope. If the building and site are modeled, you won't need autocad at all.

I will admit that you may have to export .DWG's for clients or consultants, and that I have 'traced' autocad files to make revit families, but autocad should really be used as a back up for drawing very simple plans and not for any complex project that will be subject to changes.

Any project that requires quantification, exact site data, and cataloguing needs BIM. revit, despite it's clunkiness and being a spawn of autodesk, is probably the way to go. I don;t know enough about archicad

Hey, I have a game engine viewport working. I typed everything out in c files and I want to put together headers and start a library for a game.

Does anyone have interest in the source files?
It can be complied to an exe file. I use Visual Studio or Mingw64.

It’s no school assignment you crap bag. Over 30,000 lines of code so far. I doubt you people will be ever seeing the source for the engine.
If it wasn’t going to be and exe file how else would you run the software?
>>
>>1028364
I was thinking about revealing code for the game but I don’t understand why there are people that hate me for what I did. Do you think people have the time to snoop on random image board users. I want to keep everything simple in the terms of what the software is doing and reckon where it’s not. People jump through the other side of development and assume there are major accidents and collisions with the reality of what’s happening. The file is less than 300kB. That’s it. You all are the same, you don’t like Microsoft for doing the things that needed to be done. The only other developer on here is using Java applets and convoluted technology to make there game. I think they have stopped work now and you have praised them for count less bounty. My work will continue, so far so great.
Have a look at what it takes to use C functions in Fortran. Intel might believe it’s the best solution for a variety of coleashes. It’s the Windows API or win32 user32 library’s. I’m not sure the end points will ever meet if you wanted to create another operating system to handle direct manipulation of ports and settings, i2c and voltage of the actual graphics chips in the computer. Just looking at what is possible and maybe there are c compilers that will do machine code nicely enough to say they are better for this kind of model.

no, it's still used for simple stuff to this day despite being arguably worse than blender for simple things assuming you have all your preferences and render settings established for the style you're after in blender

I think the key here is just using the Workbench renderer setting and playing around with metcaps. EEVEE might be another possibility given it's a realtime renderer.

This is true.
I had a channel in the mid-2010s primarily centered around FNaF SFMs because it was the channel I wanted to build, but peers outpaced me in the sense they were forcing themselves into the, at the time, extremely popular hyper-tism niches like "music videos" and "funny moments" type of content that simply didn't require the same tact or skill to make them look particularly impressive or high quality, but most importantly they captured as many views as possible through this genre. They of which garnered way more visibility in the tens of millions.
Kinda killed most of my motivation to continue making the content I was, which generally took the setting more seriously.

In his latest series for Blender 5.0, he teaches you how to make this mug.
But at some point in the video, he attempts to make the bottom of the mug, but fails to first apply the solidify modifier before using the extrude tool, which causes an indent to form on the inside at the bottom of the mug (pic related)
When he notices it, he quickly pans away the camera, and doesn't even address the problem, even though everyone who follows the video will end up with the same result.
This dude has been using blender for 22 years, but can't even model a mug.

Find artists that create work that is similar to what you want to create. You then backwards engineer their workflow by looking at the tools they use. You can also ask them what their process is, and if they have paid/free tutorials. They will most likely answer as most people are happy to share their knowledge. You then study on your own. Do a bunch of very small experimental projects until you are confident you have acquired the skill and can implement it on bigger projects.
The hardest part is really just knowing what you want to make, and not just changing your mind half-way through the process of learning once the "illusion of magic" is gone.

Like all great projects, you leave it behind for a while... 5 years might be a little too long, time to get back on the saddle and work on it.

For those that were in the loop back in the day, this is a revival effort to bring /3/ back to the cup and even though /3/'s history in the 4CC isn't necessarily stellar, it's always a work in progress. Things have changed since the last time the team played an official match, Konami stopped making games and we've been reusing older games with mixed success, however there are tools to have the same model quality as the newer versions of Pro Evolution Soccer before the series ceased production by converting them to the older games.

For those that don't even know what this is all about, the 4CC is an inter-board competition where /3/ used to compete from 2012-2015 with a revival that went from 2018-2021, the team has fallen inactive since then but if there's enough interest ITT the team will return to competition with me and my co-manager Wyvern at the helm. There are 4 cups per year named after each season featuring the Elite and Babby divisions, the second division is the entry point for new/reviving teams and with the Spring Babby Cup coming up, team registration has opened and the time is now to revive /3/.

Let's go fire up Blender one more time and kick a ball around, hopefully we don't lose too badly. For more info see https://implyingrigged.info/wiki//3/

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

NX is the best, but again it comes at a cost: cheap academic but prt files are limited and there are tattoos on some outputs, full license costs as much as a new car, or you learn your firewall well enough to by default block all outbound (whitelisting only the executables which you desire to have network access).

Nah, stay on plasticity. For gameres hardsurface it is more than enough, almost everybody in our studio are switched to plasticity from fusion. Also fusion can get slow as fuck when working on something complex enough.

Hmm alright. I saw the opposite that plasticity gets dunked on for being the noobie software while fusion is the real shit that you need to learn. Howewer I do tend to enjoy plasticity's lightning speed and lightweightness compared to fusion, and launching it up just takes a half a second with the scene instantly loaded in.

Use the buzzword, fundamentals of animation, and avoid blender, you will be fine

your advice sucks. op doesn't even know how to spell vertex and you suggest this?

>>1028725 That video does not really cover the basics in a way that would prompt a beginner to start practicing. It is an overview and look into the process of a large production consisting of a whole team of animators using cells. It is a large scale production doing a more expensive time consuming process most 2d animators don't do anymore. Don't get me wrong, some of the information like lip syncing is good to know. However, the 12 principles, actual practice, learning the software, using reference videos, working up to more complex things. Those are very important. From what I found, some gurus can actually be good springboards and can help you understand the software and can show examples of things. If they are losers that didn't make it, so what? You aren't coming to them for therapy, and nine times out of ten, we would end up being losers too, whether we learn from real professionals or not. Matter of fact, we already are technically losers. I severely doubt either of us at this point made a very big flashy thing everyone is slobbering over.
