>>1018080Says the website shitter-upper
>>1018080Yeah a lot of these guys were forced to go to church when they were younger and it shows. Parents shoulda let them stay home to play vidya instead.
>>1018130I only stay constrained to like 8 boards, not the entire website doofus.
>>1018140>constrained to eight.Bet you have an interesting plate whenever there's a buffet anon.
>>1018152>anonSorry I misspoke, I mean't tripfag.
is EMV engine hard to setup, or am i just retarded?
https://youtu.be/jD3TFbSmztI?t=1Is there a term for DOA6 style hair/materials that aren't realistic and looks gorgeous? The shading on clothes are simple yet looks intricate.
>>1018082I've written a lot of shaders and to my eye it looks like modern shading inspired by the same PBR papers everyone uses, but they don't use realistic coupling between fresnel and specular so it looks flatter and more legacy and the specular doesn't look like it has any long nice tail like newer models but a basic blinn splotch like we used back in the day where you can regulate the size and intensity separately, gloss/spec.
>>1018088What about the hairs? For example, at 1:23 they still move, flow, have strands but without any of modern dithering/noise artifacts?
>>1018089To my eye the purple hair reads like high resolution stencils that use alphacut, the texture tints around each strand at the edge of the mask then help hide this fact. But in your Op image they clearly have transparent alpha without proper stochastic sorting but you also see a ton of artifacts in how the hair of the girl in the white gi isn't sorting correctly.
>>1018091>To my eye the purple hair reads like high resolution stencils that use alphacut, the texture tints around each strand at the edge of the mask then help hide this fact.Can you explain this without all the fancy words. The term Stencil is really overloaded.
>>1018092They're just pbr hair you don't see dithering because that's not particularly linked with pbr.
Did sfm set back 2010s animators years? (kinda ignore pic)
>>1014868I'm hustling, you're just coping, faggot 3rd worlder
>>1014631Why not just change the camera range rather than making goofy looking models
>>1017723The rest of the environment and it never looking the way you want it to
>>1014631It probably boosted the general interest for 3D animation by a huge amount.
>>1017723Since you're manipulating secondary parameters like focal length it's super unintuitive and fiddly and you aren't gonna get he effect you want still, since you aren't trying to reproduce a real physical scwne configuration but a weirdo bendy cartoony character look. Sp you bend the character instead and it's easy-peasy
I come with a heavy question, I come with hunger for answers. I tried making fortnite 3D blender porn a year ago, I never got better, I never got better. I want to present the evidence of lack of progress as well as present the works of others, current day, that are performing better works. Could it be proof of talent?
>>1013922The only other piece of advice I have for you is to raise your aspirations much higher. The person you're trying to be like sucks. Make official Fortnite renders your primary references rather than referencing beginners.
>sanest /3/ poster appears just to farm a bit of attention then vanishes once more>doesn't even post any new masterpieceswtf
>>1013702get better at animating99% of 3d porn sucks because the animation is shit. Even for stills, animation will make you understand posing and what makes poses appealing
>>1017336he can't even do the most rudimentary blender stuff he has no chance of animating anything
>>1013922the reason most people suck at 3d porn is because theyre either just tech nerds or coomers with no actual understanding of aesthetics.they dont understand lighting, mood, etc. anyone can make widowmaker's big dick in a dark room over and over again,and the render can look "good," but it doesn't convey anything other than what it is.coomers who look at your art want to be excited.you do have to tell them a story, regardless of how simple or degenerate it is.so if you wanna make fortnite, tell a story about whats going on that is relevant to fortnite. why does it matter that shes undressing, or getting railed, or whatever. what makes the viewer go "whoa, what happened here?"you really dont need to understand much about the tech of blender to be "good." look up 3 point lighting and experiment with that. youll instantly see an impovement. other than that, tell a story.
how the fuck does a studio of 30 people total (including programmers, managers) create such a massive game with unique environments and character models?I struggle to create any environment in less than a month that is going to be rendered in a still frame. what kind of magic do these people do?
>>1017790You clearly never worked a job in your entire life.
>>1017809You are a sped
>>1017790What you are talking about is called asset libraries and has nothing to do with employees
Saar I am in the credits, this is very outrageous. Do the needful and remember there would be no game assets without me, saar.
I've seen gameplay and it looks like an asset flip, dont see the hype, avg gamer will eat up anything their favorite streamer tells them
I remember reading somewhere that old-school video games used to treat illumination through a lens of studio lighting. Instead of simulating rays, they use a combination of point/directional/spot/ambient light to convey the emotion of a scene.Is there any blog or video that talks about this phenomenon in depth blending both technical and artistic knowledge, comparing different shading models from different era.Also, PBR materials today is treated as some sort of divinely "correct" way to do stuff. When you talk about disadvantages, everyone gives a handwavy remark of "slightly" less performance. But how much? There are no exact metrics obtained by comparing two scenes that were designed with both traditional and PBR models in mind without bias.
>>1017944>But how much?none. pbr is fucking 3 maps in a game engine. the color map, the normal map, and a packed roughness, metallic, and ambient occlusion map.
You should light your scenes like theyre a studio because you want your audience to see and enjoy the objects you're rendering.https://warosu.org/3/thread/996611
>>1017946>actual artistsall 3d game assets are outsourced to india now
>>1018058Average indian 12 year old working on AAA titles in a sweatshop for 3 rupees MOGS the fuck out of anyone on this board
>>1018059he deserves it too, considering
is this program worth anything? I am primarily going to decide between it and blender. I am a complete permabeg. Any thoughts? not a single person on /v/ or /vg/ or /3/ has ever talked about it afaik.
>>1017405blender isn't the best and it's tutorials are even worse, but at least it's free
Ita good but its too limited. I think its worth if youre modding some indie game but not worth for everything else
It feels like a toy that only the creator can use effectively for his toy art
>>1017818Reminds me of that sculpting app Pablo made for the iPad, I doubt there's even 200 users
>>1017857I bought it like an idiot. Tried using it three times, it's so bad. It really just was a way for him to sell his tileset and showcase his pixelart.
Rate my 3ds Max render. Am I ready enough for a position in the animation industry?
>>1018015No you compressed it too much, all for 20 frames that you could have done in Microsoft movie.
The single most used Maya add-on and not a single person has decided that it would be worth the time to crack it. Maybe they have? If they have, someone send it my way I'm not paying for it.
>>1017903It doesn't matter because you won't use either software, and you'll never achieve anything in your life
>>1017781in a couple of years, mayanimators will animate in Houdini, non negotiable.
>>1017896it's spelled NIGGER
>>1017925Give us detachable and reattachable bones like bionicle then maybe we will.
>>1017903All the tools in the add on a quality of life "nice to haves" you can do everything all those tools can do with 1 or 2 extra steps.
The idea is to make simple games with them : )
>>1017657Yes, I remember that one, you were working on a 3d modeling tool.
>>1017674It’s nice that someone remembers me. Yes, in the last few months I’ve managed to improve this tool. For example, now I can export to .glb format, which allows the models to be used in a wide variety of development contexts.
>>1017734Yes I recognised the format of your renders.Keep posting anon, I like your stuff.
>>1017672pretty cool, anonI'd love to see more
/3/ if it weren't for you I would not have found this cool hobbyI like to take molecular biology stuff from the protein databank and render it in Maya. I once asked about this here on /3/ in a stupid questions thread and was told where to go and what to do. A year later here I am playing around with cool stuff.
another cool one
>>1017942They look really cool anon
that's neat anon. this might be of interest to you as well:https://extensions.blender.org/add-ons/molecularnodes/
Cinema 4D R9 is nice.
>>1017693I'm still using R18 with loads of plugins. Far better than the newer subscription crap.

Meanwhile you fags keep argueing about autodesk vs blender and coomer AI taking blender jobs, I keep improving my skills.
>>1017813I can make AI art and art from scratch.I did not claimed the frog was made with AI.
>>1017812>doesnt look like it has a diaper>proportions are allright>actually appealing design.has chris improved after all this time?!
Chris you are wasting your time,do something productive irl
>>1017867he posted a painting of a frog a few days agosaid he used referenceso maybe the right neuron fired after 20 years and he finally started using referencesone day he may even use references for humanswe may all live to see cris making itwhat a time to be alive
>>1017874watch him try out a new "workflow" next week with all progress erased lol>we may all live to see cris making ityou must be new to this
Ok, lads.Does Blender 4.5+ have the ability to do this yet?The image explains it better than a paragraph could.Where you can have an object in edit mode without curve modifier applied, and be able to see the edited changes on duplicate or instanced object positioned elsewhere under a visible curve modifier.Something with clones parented to empties maybe?If not, can Maya do it? I can buy a license for Maya if so. And please no Mava Vs Blender thread, I don't care anymore. Just want to make shit effectively. Will probably end up setting blender's control scheme to Maya and use both for which ever needs either program excels better with.
>>1017887If the duplicate object is linked, edits to the geometry of one of the objects will be replicated in the other. I don't know if it's possible to link currently existing duplicates, but you can simply make a new duplicate and check the "Linked" option.
>>1017888Will look into this, I greatly appreciate you taking the time to reply!
>>1017888SICK.Finally, I had been wondering for years how to do this. Appreciate it!
