>>985854>The CG industry, especially at high tiers is nepotisticIt's always more accurate to say that building connections is the way to go when you are at the top
>>986149As an introvert fuck who never interacted with anyone outside of my family how do you build connections? I am in a third world country so I cant just go to studios because there is none here.

A lot of 3D artists in discord servers are either old dudes with great technical skill but a lack of creativity (think godlike sculptors that do the same boring shit that takes 8 months), or blender zoomers who blitzed tutorials.You just don't get a portfolio of work that has volume AND quality. Newer artists tend to be CG Generalists while older artists are specialists (Riggers, Hard Surface Modelers, Technical Artists).Anyone with meaningful PRODUCTION experience is either NDA'd to hell and back, old with kids and busy, or not in a server like that. Specialist servers like Technically Speaking might be more your speed because a lot of the users there have a sense of clarity about what they're doing, and they fundamentally cannot skirt the technical skills with subjective criticism like animation servers. Good luck!
>>986272put out things good enough it gets people talking in professional fields like that lil lego jit
So, why am I so happy? I usually do humans in sculpt mode which I fucking hate for some reason but I did this mostly in edit mode! How amazing is that! I didn't know I could do it like that and it seems so much easier and I can make heads more accurately!
Now he's low poly!
>>988349I didn't have to do retopology whatsoever with this way of modeling humans and shit!
Doesn't really look like Elvis, but I'm glad you're happy with the results. I Typically do things in edit mode first too. And then I touch it up with sculpting tools. And sort of bounce back and forth between edit and sculpt until it looks right. But yeah, they call it "box modelling". It was the standard way of modelling before sculpting really took off. Box modelling can be easier than sculpting, if that's what you're accustomed to. Personally, I find sculpting still useful to quickly smoothing and filling out.You should work on shaping the eyes and lips. The eye sockets are definitely not done. And Elvis doesn't have stretched out thin lips like those. He has pouty lips.Also, I'm a topology nerd, so I'll appreciate if you posted the wireframe.
Kek, it reminded me of my first sculpt ever.
For context I work professionally as a commercial illustrator for editorials, packaging and advertising and I'm proficient in using the gradient mesh tool in illustrator among other things in order to create "quasi-3D" looking illustrations. With this in mind, how easy would it be to learn this 90s CGI style like pic related? It's something I want to learn for myself because ive always been obsessed with that style and want to make art in that style.

>>985585Oh yeah be a crybaby on /3/ for a change.
Can someone tell me how several developers work on one project? For example, how do level designers work on one level at the same time?My team and I use Unreal Engine 5. I know about Multi-User, we tried to use it. But... It has a number of significant drawbacks. It does not respond to undo and redo (at least, it did not work for us) and does not support terrain editing. And it is also not entirely clear how the files added by participants are saved and synchronized. Is it possible to do this? Will the files be updated for other users? Or do we need to use Git every time to pull in the changes? Knowledgeable people, please explain.It would be easier if our project represented several levels, and not one with a conditionally open world. But this option does not suit us.In general, I would like to know how this is done in large studios, because I did not find the relevant information. Maybe there are some more convenient tools.
I've just imported a daz character using the daz to unreal bridge and re-targeted using the plugin but due to the proportion difference of my custom character compared to the mannequin, the limbs deform oddly during animations. How can I adjust that? Somewhere in the re-targeting blueprint would be my guess.

When are they going to make a proper 3d modelling software?
>>986633Aren't they trying to turn substance painter into a modelling software?

>>987134I remember this. My dad used to have it on his computer and I would fuck around with it as a kid. Obviously I didn't know what I was doing, nor did I make anything good, but still.
>>986638this is literally impossible under its license you moron, someone would fork the code in ten minutes.
Why did you guys choose 3D over drawing? Is it because drawing it's too difficult? I've been thinking if I like drawing or 3D more and what to invest more time on, because with 2D you can also animate
>>976804Yay, I would decimate that face real hard.
>>9763263D and 2D are incredibly different in terms of what you do.In 2D you draw something usually with inherent stylisation(100% perspectively correct 2D looks weird) it's a lot more interpretativ as an artform. It's a lot about perspective shading etc. But in 3D it's more like construction/crafting something. You model/sculpt something, paint it, rig it. It's closer to something like puppetry or stop motion, with a very technical aspect to it.This technical aspect might be appealing to some, but it is an inherent difference, that 2D artists don't have to content with.You don't have to know 2D as an 3D artist: you don't have to know 3D as an 2D artist.It's a bit of an oversimplification.but the baseline is:They're different artforms, just because you draw doesn't mean you need to also clay sculpt.
>>976326I used to do 2D, pivoted to 3D when someone told me not to commit to 2D animation for my major in college. I still like drawing but the technical side of 3D makes it more interesting. If my drawings sucked it would just be a "grind it out" thing, but with 3D there's so many different things to try out that I don't get bored. It helps that it pays well too
I tried 2d but going from noob > intermediate is a massive fucking barrier that I don't know how to pass.
>>976326>Why did you guys choose 3D over drawing? Is it because drawing it's too difficult?No, because 3d art is fucking difficult too. Its trading one set of headaches for another. However, I have a sort of connection with 3D art that I didn't have with drawing.I feel good when I'm making 3d art, but with 2D drawing I only felt good when I was done.
