need advice on setting up corrective shape keys,how do i set it up so that a driver automatically activates when my model bends its elbow?how do i set up a driver bone that follows the rest of the rigs movement but only activates the driver when i click on it and manually move,rotate,scale,etc?sre there any addons or geonodes that can help me with this?
>>1026635Those are basic driver stuff, not geonode shenanigans or whatever. Just watch 5 minutes of a basic driver tutorial and you'll be golden
>>1026635you mean you want some kind of adjustment bone? it's the same as normal driven shapekeys then, you just have a non-deforming bone parented to whichever part of the arm which will control your drivers instead of the joint bones themselves. watch a basic driver tutorial as >>1026641 said
A while since I've done this. You'd want to use the eulerangles of posebones in your drivers. Blender has some sort of autocomplete for selecting an armature and it's bones for driver source but that doesn't work. It has to be posebones.Also found this: https://extensions.blender.org/add-ons/easy-driver/Probably easier to set up. They show the exact use case you mention.
>>1027410holy shit this is exactly what i needed thank you
>>1026635imma be so real, use corrective bones instead.https://youtu.be/Zx2LtlZqG3g?si=5P9qMx-SK79XTZRlhttps://youtu.be/Zx2LtlZqG3g?si=5_cBg4-ljqlAxiDitheres def gonna be a time to use shapekeys, but i cant be fucked to learn drivers when the sound of the impending nodification of blender on the horizon.All we need now is a node for shapekey fields themselves.

Dixon here, I'm back 3D modeling my game.
FINALLY
>>1005594You are not creating a video game.What are the mechanics? How do you play the game?As you said, you are just modeling meaningless rooms.Write a game document first, get off the computer.
>Bit about meBeen doing mostly hard surface modelling for 3 years. get asked to do a character model for my friend's Gmod server. he likes it and get me a gig with some higher paying people. I don't skills to properly do human characters so I'm going to learn. >picrel Halfway done 3d mesh that'll allow me to modularly create different types of male characters with deforms and other shit I might need. feed back is welcome. Some sources for doing human anatomy are very much needed.

does anyone have Crashsune’s low poly character tutorial from Gumroad? he has the exact style i want to go in terms of making models for commissions for but i dont want to financially support a tranny
>>1025533the only thing his character models is good for is squeezing semen out of my penis
>>1025533>>1025647forgive my ignorance but for someone who's starting out what's exactly wrong with them aside from him being a tranny of course
>>1025533There's zero difference between the Gumroad course and his free youtube course and all his models are just Megaman Legends Roll studies with different props.
If you need a paid course to get onto crashune's level then you should just give up and kill yourself.
Crashsune is yet another beginner grifter and the posts here are all justfied.

Meanwhile I've also made an upgraded Placeholder-chan model based on the new Alice model.

New face and textures, Alice is a nickname.
After seeing the new chinese video model (seedance 2.0), I'm completely blackpilled.I think 2d and 3d animation and visual effects work are going to be over in ~5 years. You'll have a handful of senior, legacy people, mostly in comp for clean up, but I think everyone else is toast.There'll be a short transition period, where you'll have VFX departments that are mostly comPrompters (already happening), but those positions won't last long.It's actually over.

>works in advertisingit’s over for everyone, photographers especially. high end AI has no problem creating photorealistic movies. it’s too easy to have one person type in prompts and pick images. CG is DEAD.
I want to buy a 3D pen for general repairing purposes but I don't know any specifics or details about the different types of pens/ plastics they use to be most efficientanyone got any experience they don't mind sharing?plastic weight load strength would be most informative
>>1027304/diy/ will be better able to help you, this has nothing to do with 3DCG
>>1027305why thank you
>>1027305chud, this is 3d printed items. so its 3.
>>1027316/3/is 3dcg. So you'll post about real 3d items if you wanna argue semantics and get no useful info, or you'll post on /diy/ and immediately get quality advice because it is their domain and they know it well.
>>1027316>>1027325I think a better argument is its 3D printer related, and uses the same types of filament, so some people here could help OP. Plus /3/ isn't exactly hurting for thread space, so there's no need to be exclusive and try to kick people out.
Post and discuss project ideas, WIPs, etc. If you want to upload a file, use a cat/litterbox file or an upload on a reputable 3d model sharing site such as Sketchfab. Don't post anything blasphemous and have fun.FEATURED: https://www.renderhub.com/jofox/jesus

I don't really know anything about 3D graphics but I do have background in animation so I need someone to verify my opinion/observations,and also show off your vfx work if you'd like.Recently I've developed a habit of just analyzing the visual effects of the games I'mplaying, and I'm realizing and honestly surprised that so much of 3D visual effects isreally just putting 2D animations and textures on top of invisible 3D geometry (that may or may not be animated as well).>There aren't 6 trillion particles to that create that swirl of dust during a powerful hit, it's a brief 2D animation on top of some double helix geometry.>That smoke coming from a chimney is a 2D animation on some kind of billboard plane.>That river of water or waterfall is - yet again - just some fancy noise projected on top of some invisible geometry>etc...The reason this is kind of a big deal to me is I used to really specialize in 2D visual effects.Frame by frame using a ton of gradients, shapes, particles, lines, glow effects, blurs, flickers, textures, etc.. and doing all this shit by hand.And so when I would try watching tutorials on how to make 3D visual effects, I realized that it's a VERY similar process that I used to do with 2D. So much of that shit really is just getting down and dirty with your tool and having a bunch of tricks Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>1027343There's a Diablo 3 presentation, gdc I think, where they explain all the vfx mileage you can get from combining 2 scrolling textures in different ways, well worth a watch
>>1027343i (a retard) would agree that yeah thats like 85% of 3d effects. but the last 15% is custom shader code and geometry node shennanigans. so it depends on how ambitious you are and how limited you are willing to be
Houdini is fun and easy!Pick up a free apprentice version today:https://www.sidefx.com/download/
>>1027268>I thought that sims played nicer with remeshed geometry?yes, in the hip i'm just using the new quadremesher, but just regular remesh will work as well. just don't use the vdb convert to polygons output raw.also worth mentioning that vellum solver is sensitive to tri vs quad geo and will get you different looking results - mostly important for cloth sims, and resulting folds.
Any of you actually works (freelance or as an employee) as a Houdini artist? I'm a software developer making 400/500€ as a daily rate. I'm getting more and more comfortable with Houdini/Unreal (I'm more on the technical side of these, I'm interested in creating pipelines between the two and procedural modeling). Out of curiousity, I checked the rates for Houdini artists and I was shocked to hear that the range goes from 400 to 1000$. So I'm serioulsy thinking about making the switch since I'd rather do that in the end (gamdev is my hobby but I fell in love with Houdini for real). So I got questions. How's the job market for Houdini tech artists ? Are these rates real ?Oh and what would be a good portfolio to get answers from recuiters?And do you have anything to say about this line of work?
>>1027379The rates are real but only upper stratum working with big clients get it. You need to get your foot in the door with a stellar portfolio and some experience. Getting social media, releasing free and paid tools etc. Look at other pro houd tech artists and see what their portfolios have. build your brand and identity. recruiters are not a good way to get jobs in my experience, you have to do it yourself
>>1027379are you better and faster and cheaper than AI?if not, good luck>>1027609not anymore

whats the problem with it? They look like slightly unhealthy dudes, but like plausible morphologies.
>>1027191op here,theyre sort of boring/samey to look at,i want them to look more exagerated and the purple one is supposed to look sort of fit im happy with the blue model but i want to see how i could make the others more stylized and less generic but i cant put my finger on what to change
>>1026186kill yourself cris
how can i make this in 3d? i'm suppose to join a cylinder to an hexagon and vice versa, but how? this is driving me crazy
>>1025527polytroons spend 400 hours modeling and sweating over topologyChADs precisely model down to millimetres with perfect shapes, use topology software to get perfect computer triangulation in 5 seconds and spend 5 minutes cleaning little things up manually in blender

For fellow anons interested in this stuff, ArcSys have collated all their presentations (in Japanese) on achieving their unique character style including skinning, rigging and rendering on this central “Academy” page.https://www.arcsystemworks.jp/academy/
>>1018098https://youtu.be/0GyaYoV6Dls?si=jFh1DXHOqh-BfwA-Here's a really great video on the Shader setup in Unreal, even goes through the textures and assets.Great stuff, could probably apply it to a lot of different styles too
>>1018098This is like a decade old. Long story short: it's more about artistry and less about the technology.A 3D only artist trying to recreate the 2D look is impossible. It's like an Olympic cyclist trying to become a Nascar driver.ArcSystem Works have decades of 2D animation experience, this is why they were able to pull it off so well. It's the same with that Arcane show. The artists working on it had decades of 2D animation experience.2D is like a language. If you're not fluent in it then you'll never ever be mistaken for a native speaker.
>>1018099>>1018103Some of those slides were translated years ago https://archive.org/details/GGXrd-design-docs
THey've added a whole bunch of stuff over the last few months, although there's dome repeats and some materials unrelated to purely 3d. Love the one about stage design though
>>1019268Dang, Ram's thighs are out of this world. They animated them, too
