This is a render I made to help me understand light and form, It was made in blender is there any tips on how I can improve my stills any settings that I missed
>>1027508That’s noob level, you need to learn rbg, individual model lighting and moving the light. Only then can you learn the advance lessons
>>1027506You have the backdrop, after that the 3 point lights and the hdri are the most basic things, and after that you can take a look at directional lights and volumetrics.
>>1027511>That’s noob level, you need to learn rbgrgb will come right after this (i will not grind these)i just wanted to see if i can improve on rendering,any settings i missed,if the lighting position is bad im focused on values for now as i get a better understanding ill move on

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.

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.

>>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.

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

In my quest to make boobs I've come up against another snag, one I've not seen before. I'm still doing my standard convert to VDB from polygons, then convert back to polygons, then remesh, etc. The right_boob_remesh_prims group was created from promoting the right_boob_remesh point group, which was made from an Attribute Paint node. However, for some unknown reason, when I give the Vellum Pressure nodes a value above 1, they deflate/shrink instead of expand. I've never encountered this before. If I give them a negative value, they seem to expand but I can't imagine they'll work properly. I assume this is some kind of normals issue, but that doesn't make sense because the model is converted to a volume, then back to polygons. So I would have assumed any normal problems would've been taken care of during that process. I even dropped a Clean node after the convertVDB and before the remesh, and that still didn't fix it.If I look at the normals, they're also all fine. None of the faces/polygons are coloured like they're back-facing. There's nothing to suggest the faces aren't oriented properly. And yet, a positive Rest Length value in the pressure node still deflates it. I wouldn't even mind this wonkiness, except now I can't figure out why the boob seems to inflate a bit when sways from side to side, as if it were a long breathing in and out.I'll try another model with my setup to figure out if it's just the base model that's cursed or if it's my setup. I tried this on a couple mannequin models and primitive polygons and got everything to work pretty much how I wanted. If anyone has any immediate ideas for what the bug could be, let me know.
>>1029401Why did you move on from using Tetrahedrals? Seems like the more correct choice for flesh from my limited knowledge.
>>1029409I may try those again, but the issue I was having was it wasn't deforming the way I want. I need something that keeps it shape, but will squish without too much trouble. With tets (and my admittedly limited testing of them) if you make them too "soft", they don't keep their shape and are too floppy. And if they're too "hard" they don't really deform at all when something presses against them. Even though it's called the "Pressure" constraint, it's really better to think of it like a volume. It could be a balloon filled with gas or water depending on the settings. I was doing some tests with polygon spheres (where they just drop to the ground plane) and got some nice behaviour. They jiggled for about a second and a half and then settled quickly. So there's a bit of bouncing and stretching, but not a cartoonish amount.
Boob update: while I haven't been able to fix the inverted pressure scaling with this model, I did manage to fix the problem where the boob got bigger/inflated while she swayed from side to side. I just lowered the stretch stiffness of the pressure constraint. I think because it was at max stiffness before, when the model was swaying, it was forcing the volume "somewhere", but because I said the volume wasn't allowed to "go" anywhere, it just stretched everything instead. But now since the volume can move around internally a bit, the inflating boob problem seems to be gone.

does anyone have any advice on how to improve this?torsos arent my strong point

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

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.
