Painting with stencils allows you to use textures generated by an algorithm to quickly photobash your models.

Here, a tutorial will be shown on how to do this from the basics.

This artist uses zbrush for most of his work. Works from low subdivisions to high. He's also a 2D artist and knows appeal, the polypaint is a big factor. Final renders are done in Blender. When there's a lot of hard surface he uses Maya. Anons are right, it can be done in any 3d software. There's no shortcuts, just skill.

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.

Who lost? Biggest crybaby of /3/ and loser. You are given enough information from the scientific community that disagrees with your opinion. All this time you spent was wasting on us by complaining or insulting, not once did you try to create something in Blender.

if so, are there ways to launder them out? ie. import into blender and export back out.

I want to make a cartoon about Sonichu based on comics, but I don't know how much time it will take to animate. I have experience in creating models, but I'm a complete noob in animation. I need to figure out if it's worth spending my time on this. How long will it take to create a 3-minute animation in a blender (if the models and rig are ready)?

I think it's going to look like shit anyway, since I don't have time for animation and I'll have to ignore the flaws so that the animation process doesn't take a year. The video will probably look like it was made by a drug addict, although all the curvature of the animation and some models will be the result of lack of time.
For example, I didn't have enough patience for pikachu either, and I made it in an hour. It was fast, but he looks like he's stoned.

Um... I’m not sure which software you’re referring to, but in my app 3D models are created in a rather 'spartan way', that is, triangle by triangle [or rather, quad by quad]. The interface is inspired by Worldcraft/Hammer Editor. I know this approach isn’t the most suitable for ultra complex models, but it’s more than enough for low-poly ones.

me nor almost any other students can't even find an internship in the domain, don't even want to think about actual career. maybe it's good if you do niche stuff or tech art for specific interactions, if the only thing you can do is pretty assets you're cooked. doesn't help that the industry is so saturated with game equivalent of slop. if you become niche indie dev it might be the best thing to do, and capitalize on merch. 3d alone can't get you far, especially as anon said entry level jobs are dead

What's your favorite custom normals editing workflow for modern Blender? I like the simplicity and native feel of built-in tools like "Mesh -> Normals -> Rotate", but it doesn't seem like those tools support customizing normals at the same vertex for different faces separately. I also tried "Perfectly Normal" addon and it's pretty good, but after applying its modifier it bakes normals into "custom_normal: Face Corner - Vector" attribute, while Blender's built-in tools and modifiers bake them into "custom_normal: Face Corner - 2D 16-Bit Integer Vector" attribute. And if you try to, for example, boolean union objects with normals in different formats, their normals will get split into multiple different attributes and the resulting mesh will get broken shading as a result. A workaround I found is data transferring normals from object edited with "Perfectly Normal" to a copy of itself with normals removed, which properly converts them to "2D 16-Bit Integer Vector", but it's quite annoying to jump between two formats if you want to use both built-in tools and addon, and it doesn't seem like addon supports all features of built-in tools to use addon exclusively (for example, you can't rotate normals around axis and you can't "Reset Vectors" - things you can with built-in tools). How are you doing it? Are there better plugins? Are there better workflows? Maybe I don't realize some features of built-in tools or addon in question?

> "Perfectly Normal" addon
I also tried Abnormal but it has UI so hideous and alien to Blender that I couldn't even bother to check which attribute format it bakes in the end.

The last two who are actually important are old, one that does the retopo and the other one that does the textures. The first two are just the same shit you see on other AI threads here where it just generates high fidelity-looking model based on the image that ends up being wrong in parts, not fully corresponding or straight up unusable outside of 3D printing toys. I mention this because the retopo tool didn’t go anywhere and will require new technique. Sure tomorrow a new model that straight up does everything and is perfect can come out, but that goes for literally anything out there.

Hold it, the Oscars are very clear that only one country gets the award. You claiming a France guy produced the video in France then released it on Latvian. Also they changed the name from Straume. How do you look at this an not see corrupt filmmaker who lied about stuff to get an award. It’s no better than Americans building flags for Americans citizens then claiming it’s made in USA.

Did not win, they lied about everything, they lost money, paid the judges. Not hard to do with millionaires who saved money on a junk software and use that has their promotion for you people to get all defensive about it when people call them out.

No it made 4.5 million as known in box office before they stopped airing it. The 45 million was revenue from TV (Variety is not a legitimate source) which again breaks Oscars rules about publishing movies on Streaming Services.

>As of 2024, films competing for Independent Spirit Awards must have budgets lower than $28 million.
Ya that just proves my point on Variety known to spread misinformation.

There’s also no evidence of independent spirit award giving it any awards for the “any category”. This is clearly Wikipedia error, not a single news source has been published about it. The award for it doesn’t exist either in Director hands or in the museum.

See how stupid you sound when you blindly believe Wikipedia. Leaving out context just like a cultist would to achieve numbers in the group.

Can someone just explain to me in depth what makes Maya a better program for animation than Blender? I understand blender has it's strengths but I'm just curious about the animation angle. What tools does maya have that makes it superior for animation?

How the fuck do I texture in PS1 style?

I can model the character, but I am absolutely lost on how to texture it. I usually only handpaint my models and never work in low poly, so I'm clueless. Where do I even get the fucking textures for it? Every tutorial I found is just about how to do ps1 style furniture. How do I texture a more complex character that needs clothes, a head etc? Every texture I look at that could work is copyrighted as well.

Please help I been stuck on this for ages.

I do have substance painter.

As much as people like to avoid it, but the reality is you need to be good at traditional art.
1. First you draw concept art for your character
2. Then you draw it from different angles, finalize everything
3. Then you start to abstract away unnecessary details to make it fit for PS1
