What blender addons besides retopoflow and VRM addon, are mandatory to compete with industry chuds?
>>1030831how are the cows doing in your village?
>>1030740Mio3UV or UniVUcupaintBakemaster
>>1030740quad remesher
>>1030862gottem >>1030740mandatory depends on what you do / (% how much you care about a quality result * the amount of effort you're willing to put into it) ^ the product of (self worth value)w/(h%*e)^(swv)
it depends on what you do, but I always getMio3UVUcupaintPerfectly NormalB Onion Skin
Is this possible to do with auto rig pro? with all the existing drivers and constraints I think it'd break a lot. There needs to be switches between two handing which follows the weapon, one handing and so forth.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXKXIYUa79wIf it is not recommended then I suppose I need to make my own rigs and ARP is for mostly unarmed characters that don't need a lot added on top.
>>1031205>why would someone attach an unrelated picture?Gee I dunno, maybe you should try starting a thread without a picture and find out. any picture I would link wouldn't tell the whole story. that's what the post is for.
>>1031208>Gee I dunno, maybe you should try starting a thread without a picture and find out.and in what way would that prompt me to attach an unrelated picture over a related one?
>>1031142OP this is literally an auto rig pro feature. It took me 30 seconds to find it in the manual.https://www.lucky3d.fr/auto-rig-pro/doc/rig_behaviour_doc.html#childof-switcher
>>1031221can it rig griffins?
>>1031225As you can see in the ARP feature list, it has templates for both digitigrades and wings so yes.
>you need addons for blender to be functional as 3ds max meme is realthat'll be 10 dollars :)
>>1030466why not just use crocotile
>>1029682Oh no, my modular system is modular! Oh the calamity!. Most of the good addons are free. Everything else can be pirated or vibe coded.
>>1030466https://anvilleveldesign.com/ pretty good level design add on for blenderhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVLgxk4NhJ4 watch this video to see if that's something you are looking for
>>1029682took blender decades to become better than 3dsmax 1.0 and it still doesn't support basic features like non destructive primitives. meme software
>>1030464>stay with your buyers remorseThis is what it always comes down to. Frankly I pity them. So sad.
>Have to sift through millions of irrelevant AI voice generated pajeet tutorials on the most simple workflow need in Blender>Finally find something good>Follow procedural texture node tutorial>Get every value and node exactly as it's shown in the video>Finally get to plug it all into the material output node>Instead of looking like the tutorial, the model turns completely black>Trying to learn procedural texturing has now been derailed and I have to waste an entire afternoon troubleshooting because this software was made by the antichristOpen source was a mistake and Blender trannies should be lynched.
>>1029681>render in thumbnail looks nothing like the render in the actual videokill all these niggers, leave none escape
>>1029681>the model turns completely blackYou left the Mirror modifier on.
Instead of following tutorials, learn what the nodes do and... Idk... Use your own fucking brain?It's not hard
>>1031125Nodes were not designed to build stuff, they were VFX with simple animations. Not whatever Blender is claiming.
>>1029762what books
trying to get a npr rig of a "doughnut" and "biscotti" working im using a cloth sim to simulate "doughnut jiggle" and im struggling to get the "biscotti" to penetrate through the donut hole and then have the hole return to its regular shape,also trying to simulate "coffee liquid and bubbles" to spill out of the donut hole,since its npr so it dosent have to be realistic and the less intense it is on my pc the betterany suggestions or tutorials you can recomend?
>>1030998Any idea how i would animate something like this cherry blossoms.
>>1031035Just look up tutorials on mouth and lip rigging, exact same principles
So I have this female body model, and I want to tweak her donut to make a bit fatter but I can't seem be able to get the shape right.
>>1031057If it's spmething you can't explain without picture just do it in the /aco/ thread. You know, the one that has links and tutorials for that kind of stuff.
>>1031069I completely forgot that /aco/ existed, thanks you I'll go there.
how do you even model something like this it's impossible
>>1030734have you ever seen a bandsaw in real life anon? the machine is fine, possibly owned and operated by a semi-autist or ocder, but nothing less than what's in my workshop.maybe you're looking at the overall picture and confusing the conflicting shadows with surface textures?
>>1030953The scratches are perpendicular to the blade. If the bandsaw was real, the scratches would be parallel because that's the direction you feed material.
>>1030961Okay, so the guy (Pierre luc gauthier) ai generates images of wooden chess pieces on this bandsaw (with consistent dings and scratches on the saw) but then spends time actually making the very same chess pieces in reality anyway, to sell them in his shop for 9 bucks?It's amazing what you can find out doing reverse image search
>>1030963Ediz: Sorry he only sells the plans. But he makes tiktok videos of making them
lol things are hard halp
home...
>>1022283Ok this seems to not be a shitpost.. whent the fuck Is up with this? Why? Specifically unterlbach? Why the fuck Is SHIT like this becoming mainstream in the first place, its the least mainstrable stuff ever, i dont get itz they aré shitty "games" whose author Is probably in jail. By the looks of It dol Is some fucking dwarf fortresd excellbullshit. Why Is fucked up things going viral with zoomies.. apart from this filfth SHIT like crossed, the boys, the upcoming ice cream Man movie ... Even more unginhed SHIT going viral.. what the fuck Is going on? Next thing we know tiktok and or twitter Is gonna be with paraphone of al things.. paraphore thou Is a pretty disturbing distopía if you think about It for long.
>>1017727cool render anon.post MOAR.

i'd like some feedback regarding my next step, topology, anything really, i wanna make an og sci-fi sleek gun, and so far this isreally hard for a begginer (aka me)even tho ive been studying blender on and off for a year, i must only have like 2 months total of learning.(sorry bad english)
>>1030993yeah, im still having hard time with presenting stuff
>>1030994More to the right, light the whole thing
>>1030992There's nothing horribly wrong with the topology, but there's no point using subdivision surface for something like this. Just add bevels on the edges you want to round off (since you're basically only adding roundness for realism, just limit by angle, small offset, and a couple of segments).I recommend searching for Ian McGlasham on YouTube to learn the basics of good hard-surface topology. He really helped me get better fast.
>>1031003yeah blender is so hard and im a talentless chudi think ive reached my limit idk how to add details and not mess it all up, maybe my place is in the rentoid and min wage sector of life and i deserve this, im so sad, how do i become good or am i not enough for this hard skill that will b replace anyways by ai or by ppl doing this since age 8
>>1031004You’re coping a real gun of course it won’t look sci-fi. All 80s guns are based around real guns.
Thoughts on Crocotile 3D?At the first glance you might think "stop fucking around and learn a real 3D software, retard", but then I saw some of the things people posted on the steam workshop and it seems pretty ideal for low poly style game assets.
>>1030825No, youre absolutely right. Trying to get my wife to use maya instead of pico cad is like trying to stop the op from sucking cock
>>1030825To be fair, UV editors in most modern "standard" programs suck massive fucking cock, especially if you're doing lowpoly work and have to deal with everything being overcomplicated and geared towards highpoly all the time.
>>1030942That is fair. I'll give you that one. I just did the "editing UVs" as an off the top of my head thing and not a strict example.I will say though that having a UV editor geared towards the style you're going for out the gate would be beneficial, but since 3d editors are meant to be a catch-all for any kind of style it's kind of obvious why they generally aren't.
Blender had spryrile, but it was janky and not as polished as Crocotile. Also can someone upload crocotile for free? I need a tilemap 3d workflow and everything in blender is way too complicated for something very simple.
>>1030946It's on sale... I'm kinda curious but at the same time I'm afraid I'm just fooling myself and getting into Crocotile would just end up being a fancy form of procrastination (from just getting good at proper 3d)
how can i distribute spikes on the mesh neatly like in the ref photo using geometry nodes no stacking/overlapping and shrink the area so its not touching the edge
>>1030748They're overlapping because you're spawning the spikes on both the top and bottom layer of the mat. You can use vertex groups to restrict what verts its places the spikes on. You should also connect the normal to an align to vector node so the spikes are perpendicular to the surface if you want it to curve like your picture
>>1030748Array modifier
>>1030814The DS game save I used is here:https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ds/946580-shinseiki-evangelion-ayanami-ikusei-keikaku-ds-with-asuka/savesThere's a tool for converting DS save formats here:https://www.save-editor.com/tools/wse_ds_save_converter.htmlI couldn't find a game save for the PS2 version, so I used these cheats:https://gamehacking.org/game/99316These don't constitute modifying the game data, so feel free to get your evidence. I know that because you're schizophrenic you're just going to think that I've replaced all the pirate downloads of the game or something.
>>1030819Gee anon maybe don’t cheat and just assume we going to believe you when an ancient game is beaten with the route in one day.
>>1030819Please just ignore this retard dude
>>1030826He’s an actual schizophrenic, so him believing that the Illuminati is lying to him by faking timestamps and gameplay videos in order to hide the fact that that image isn’t AI is worth it.
>>1030826>>1030827Hey jackass he’s not the one who uploaded a bad photo from DS and upscale it with AI. He wasn’t the one who is going to cheat in the game or use mods. Maybe don’t criticize people with possible flaws and reasonable criticism because you can’t prove it correctly.
Right now I'm just using the trackpad on my laptop since I'm just starting out, but I'm planning on buying a mouse soon. It's a MacBook trackpad so it's one of the better trackpads, but it gets tiring after a while.What mice would you recommend? Would you also recommend stuff like Trackballs and Wacom tablets? My usecase is mostly for VFX but I also make 3D models in Blender.
>>1029670My feet stink from sitting and 3d modeling all day. anyone want to smell them?
>>1029998imagine the footjob
I have this that I never touch because I rarely sculpt anything
>>1030069I feel you brotherI never sculpt because I don't want to pick up the tablet when my hands are on the keyboard alreadyI just move verts and am happy
There was a thread that had someone rigging a donut, I don't see it anymore.How do you rig a porta from Halo 3? I'm in blender. I have a donut.
>halo 3uh huh
>>1030803u just shit my man>>https://boards.4chan.org/3/thread/1024300/
>>1030808Oh. Goodies i can rig my halo 3 door Thank you.
is there a correct way to model with blender/maya?i dont have a tablet and im watching videos that use concept arts then make a model on top of it either via >making a shape and pulling it to conform the concept art>making each verticees until it fills the concept art
>>1030501The corret way is the one that gets you results, so try the different alternatives and see which one you don't drop
>>1030501Some good keywords to research >box modelling>image planes
>>1030508Dumb non-answer. He should look up how pros model production ready assets and use that as a starting point. I suggest looking at how speedchar does it.
Substance painter has a perpetual license on Steam in case anyone was interested. O_O
>>1030139Seems to be 12.1 latest version, though bugs could be true but that's adobes handling of the software, not the perpetual license. Also substance designer has a perpetual license as well on Steam!
>>1030144>Could be truePeople who had work on it know is true. Export option will not transfer material to the 3D file. Limited area of painting, live updater is a lie, adding materials requires old data file that no longer exists thus limiting yourself. Maya and other 3D programs may no longer support old plugin of Substance.
>>1030131pirating Adobe is officially sanction by the Vatican to be absolved from the "thou shall not steal" commandment
It limits you to whatever year you got it, and you can end up really envying the later years. That said 200 smackers for perpetuity is reasonable enough, I'm just being a Jew.>Mfw my pirated version is 2024>Mfw 2026 adds in some new ribbon path shit that does EXACTLY what I've fucking wanted all this time.>I don't wanna go through the hassle of pirating it (Those you-know-who guys who run the Adobe piracy are chads of chad supermen for doing what they do) when I am about to upgrade my system in a month or two.Think I'll just be a good goy and rent a subscription then pirate it in a few months. I might just shell out in 2027 if it offers something good just so that if the main pirates I use disappear I'm not up shit creek, and it honestly is a fantastic programa.
