I've seen a lot of people dislike it. But there is no need to hate it. Blender is an alright little utility buddy. It's not the best at anything, though it's a great helper. Personally I only use it to clean up models post CAD modeling, store my hp and lp's in seperate collections, and it's simply great for that. I like Blender.

Do you really only memorize button locations when you need to do anything?
Also, with that mentality you get the horror that is zbrush's UI. Never changing anything because it may break baby duck studio's workflow they created in 1999.

I got used to z being depth through highschool math and cg programming in university, but z being up is also a very sensible standard
imagine you're drafting a building or a tool, you would draw the base in xy first, then go up the z axis
I imagine a lot of these 3d tools grew out of cad and architecture application
>>
>>1026829
>>1030369
Z is up and down in multivariable calculus and linear algebra, you know where 3d programming originates from. Why would anyone complain about this or think otherwise? Throughout physics and math in my stemcel degree z was always up. It's other programs that fuck this up completely.

For models where the legs are slightly spread, like the A pose on the right, do I still put the origin on the same level as the feet, or a bit below that so the feet are touching the ground when it stands upright? Here u can see it's floating a bit because of the angled legs.

How do I make this model?
I've been trying for a long time to replicate this style... but everything comes out wrong.

I can't get the head right no matter how hard I try. The model is available for free but I just can't figure out how it was made and it's making me real sad.

Any advice please?

I know /3/ tell us to model in quads and le doesn't matter o algo but why did the Japs do a lot of non game asset models in triangles? Can someone explain that to me?
>>
>>1030337
Its all triangles in the end, quads are a way to help think about it. It'll help you make models that deform and thus animate better, and they make it possible to have the notion of a single opposite edge or vertex of face and thus make it possible for both you and the programs to deal in term of topology (loops especially). That why for example subdiv produces much better results with quads.

But the big quad weakness is, as I said, it's all triangles in the end, and you don't know where the diagonal is. It'll change how the model looks and how the model deforms. It'll change from your modeling program to your engine. In blender for example it chooses the least diagonal after all modifiers are applied. Taht means it can change depending on your character pose, which is obviously not how a game engine will do it (btw the logical way to disable this behavior is to add a triangulate modifer before the deform, removing any ambiguity).

In the world of low poly it's especially important where the diagonal goes, since you can get a lot of silhouette out of that. Plus if you want the minimum polycount any quad you can get rid of saves up on faces.

It's not specific to the japs. Chances are you just think so because you've seen model rips, which are triangulated. But even in the FF7 days tools were quad-oriented. It's to the point where consoles like the PS1 have opcodes specifically to draw quads even though it translates that as two triangles
>>
>>1028344
It seems that the Japanese don't use a mirror modifier.
>>
>>1030382
Nah, you can see the steps on his twitter and it was done using one, then the middle vertices were dissolved. That model was made for a 256 triangles challenge so sooner or later you collapse redundant faces to bring down your numbers.

looks good, I really like the page. If i was hiring I'd likely offer a 2d illustrator or graphic design position. when I poke around the rest of your website it seems like you have more of a focus on that, and your 2d stuff is more impressive to a brand.

on the page, thumbnails for the animations are great but they do cover up the actual content of the animations. then the animations themselves are very short so they don't really show off your talent well enough. I would make longer ones with more movement.
>your grease pencil samurai animation is also very good and should be listed on this page since it is a 3d artwork. probably in a big window, since that is a great thing to show off

the DnD models on the bottom are very good, I feel like they should be closer to the top, and you should be able to see more than one at a time. Especially since you seem to have a focus on character design.
>and your other characters should also be somewhere on here
>consider adding a 3d viewer to the page, you're tech-savvy it shouldn't be difficult

and then also important: link your art station, sketchfab, other sites. that's how people find you.

Guy isn't getting hired, all his work is based on plastic look with 2D playstation from 2000s. His animation is awful even for a student he failed to convey characters living in their world. There’s no VFX so he lacks advanced skills to create harder animations. He doesn’t understand lightning and lets the scene do it. Lastly, website has no contact information so really won’t hire him without a way to get in touch

actually the advantage of 3d is you can use a third axis for depth
most 2d animation these days also uses rigs with the same bones and they just have the computer do the tweening
they do still draw stuff for some shots but that costs more than posing and keying, basically your big fights and some perspective shots will be drawn
and there are things like backgrounds and props, which have to be made for each shot but also have 2d (or 3d) rigs
then lip flaps, hand poses, viewing angles etc. are also part of the rig
>you can find some 2d rigs online for shows that ended a decade ago but they're mostly for adobe programs they stopped supporting
if animation software was free and good then everyone would know this
they don't really draw each frame for kids shows. The only reason some animation looks great is because animators are forced to go frame by frame as a creative choice, like the chainsaw guy or some other shows. and nobody is really coloring cels one-by-one anymore.

3d does not save time per se, unless it's bad 3d I guess and you cut corners. but bad 3d is on the same level as bad 2d, and so on.
illustrations or still drawings like game CGs are faster to produce than a single 3d render
short animations are quicker to produce in 2d than 3d, given the same modern industry standards and overlapping techniques
rigged 2d shows get made quicker than rigged (or mocapped even) 3d shows, and so on.

Saw someone's design on GrabCAD and remade it, so not a true original, but the mechanism would actually work.

If you're going to stick to CAD, I'd honestly recommend learning Keyshot for rendering purposes. You can easily assign materials, make your own scenes or use existing ones. Substance is cool like the other anon said, but you'll have to fix the meshes that come out of NURBS for it to look good, and that can be a pain in the ass with more complex models, and it also requires you to manually paint in details which is slow and you might just want a "slap material and lighting" kind of workflow and that means Keyshot is infinitely better for presentation of CAD models (99% of the time)

Very nice, here's a tip, for the little polished chrome logo on the side you could use the Split Line command, make a sketch on the right (assuming) plane of the logo, split line, select the inside of the split line and you can assign materials to that specific face. You can also do this for the buttons. For a better look, you can make an extruded cut 0.2mm around the logo with the cut from surface option, that gives a bit of depth and doesn't look like a flat sticker.

>>

I think this is correct. So long as it shades correctly it's fine and even then people obsess too much. Having every bevel look perfect may be a display of skill but 90% of the time it doesn't matter. You can probably get away with a huge amount of errors and you'd be fine

Which chip do I choose for 3D work, what do you recommend among these options:
1. Apple M5 Pro (18-core CPU, 20-core GPU)
2. Apple M5 Max (18-core CPU, 40-core GPU)
Both of them are going into a 14.2" MacBook Pro, not the 16.2", not into a Mac mini / Mac Studio either.
I'm not pro-level, and I'm using Blender, but I might try some other software if need arises in the future.

This is among the best animated asses I have ever seen. It's not exaggerated like some other games, but rather balanced so that it looks highly realistic.

You could do this with a metarig in blender, it's just a very fluid run cycle. There aren't any ass jiggle physics, you're just seeing hip movements.
