I'm working on tranime slop series before the AI leaves me under a bridge eating garbage or something, pic related is my OC, her name is kiru, kiru is a 22 year old girl or around that range, she's just another loser with no boyfriend and virgin like you and me anon.it has more story than that but in general it will be comedy shorts where she lives somewhat traumatic and funny experiences, it's like a lolcow or something, it sounds kind of boring but I think it will work, anyway this thread will be to show my progress and receive criticism or death threats or maybe everything will ignore me I don't know.
>>1008165Have you considered cheering up anon? I wouldn't even worry about being a virgin or anything because in this world we're about to enter we're all fucked.The world is too depressing for you to beat down on yourself as well, don't take it all so seriously just live, laugh, love, lose one day at the time.Being a loser is perfectly acceptable, half of everybody is more loser than they pretend to be. Now grab life by the dick and pull yourself onto your feet soldier.
>>1008175Well said.I agree.
very promising, tell us more BPD-chan
>>1008165are you a cute girl? I can fix you
Do you think she is cute? She wears a lot of makeup and painted her hair pink for cope, and that is no her room, it was just a test animation, she is poor tho.
>>1008175being a loser is more painful when you know it was 90% your fault tho I could have had the world under my feet but I made delayed decisions and I think that's what bothers me, I wouldn't mind being a loser because of greater forces.>>1008205if you're talking about her she doesn't have BDP she's just retarded tho and she's also very unlucky, depending on how my series goes I'll develop her personality more.>>1008214Lol fix ur life instead
>>1008165Why are you scared of AI when your character is so fucking generic already?
>>1008236Beauty is generic, ugliness is diverse and random like your estupid globin face.
>>1008237It's slop. Simple as.
>>1008236Being generic is exactly the reason one would want to be scared of AI
>>1008240That's exactly what I'm saying. It's a copy-paste anime girl with "le epic femcel!1!1" slapped on it. Do we seriously need yet another one of these characters to add to the pile?
>>1008241it will be popular because it's female
>>1008175That post and all the self depreciation is 100% an act.It's pic related. Or the retarded "OMG I'm sooo ugly guys" complement fishing.Dude's just trying too hard to fit in while shilling his shit. It looks neat enough on it's own without the BS larping 2bh.
>>1008246Honestly I'm inclined to believe it's a woman. The attention seeking, the complete lack of originality... either it's an autist astroturfing to plug his shit or some foid. These chud eyes see all the demons.
>>1008241>>1008247show me your super original and non-generic character that no AI could do, I'll wait.
>>1008248I don't know if it's original or not, but is an anime character that dresses as a woman but in reality is a zombie Jorge Washington
>>1008241Idk, even if the base model is premade, it has quite some stylization applied to it. Those eyebags, pimples, shading.Arguably, those little details are more important in terms of defining a character than base model anatomical proportions (even though it's definitely important too).Overall, it doesn't look slop to me. I certainly have seen a lot of way more generic characters.
>>1008246I am not larping, when I made the post I was a little depressed that's why the title and also my fear of AI is honest, I think that no matter how much I cope we all have the same fear with how good it is and every time it gets better, years and years of practice study straight to the trash I think anyone would be depressed.and I was also talking about my character she's the ugly loser, I wasn't trying to get attention and I know it's not really very original but I don't have any more ideas, besides the trend is like that and I can't afford to experiment with new shit that nobody likes, so maybe her being a generic femcel would be beneficial and also because it's supposed to be a comedy mini series where she goes through embarrassing and funny moments, her being some kind of eloquent stacy doesn't fit with that.I will also add several characters with different personalities depending on how the series goes, I was inspired by those indie series like digital circus that gained a lot of fame, maybe with some luck I can also have some audience idk if I have enough to survive and not die in oblivion I'll be satisfied since I have worked a lot on this project.>>1008253she is also a zombie
>>1008264the shading limits me a lot, for example her hair should look more white almost the same color of her skin but when I start adding lights it looks weird and that's why in the final render it looks more pink, apart from that I don't know what else shit to add to make it look more original, some third eye or something idk
>>1008268i think your character is cute and would watch whatever you make of her type shit
>>1008270Maybe don’t add shading and actually learn color theory to minic the anime art style.
>>1008270I like the character, but I think the hair is too geometrically detailed and it would look more anime with chunkier hair sections.
Hello I am interested in this and have some questions for you1. What's your current status on this? Have you started making any shorts or are you still in a planning/prototyping phase?2. You say you "can't afford to experiment". Why? Are you planning on pulling some kind of profit from this? If not then I'd really encourage experimenting. It could result in something great, or it could result in something that sucks, but it will probably be interesting in either case. Just chasing the trend risks making something boring. Not to say that you should throw out the whole femcel thing altogether, just try and put a twist on it.3. What software is this 4. How long is a "short"? 2-5 minutes? Or are we talking <1min skibidi rizz territoryMy opinion on the hair. I really don't like the way it looks in >>1008270, something about how it's so close to her skin tone makes her look freakish and sickly. The pink in the op image looks fine but I like the color in >>1008268 the most.
>>1008342NTA but "Im not experimenting" sounds like he is a beg without too much technical knowledge, ergo him sticking to basic BnB>>1008270I second that other anon, her fringe is the same color of her skineither draw shadows like in the OP or use the node editor to tweak the colorslove how the OP looks btw
>>1008165is her full name Kiru Maiserufu?
>>1008165Kino, I would like to impregnate her
>>1008236She doesn't look generic at all for me but again I don't browse anime waifus
>>1008342Newfag alert
>>1008165Post more of your cute anime girl already.Why does she have a blood pressure thing on her arm?
>>1008165just be more efficent, don't dump too much time in any project, get stuff done and learn SEO so your vids reach to the right people
>>1008393Hey dumbass, Egypt is on Africa.
I finally made kiru 2.0 thoughts ? I don't know if it looks better but it definitely looks more stylish and sicker.
>>1008456Hair needs more work, the bands look like they’re painted.
>>10083421: this would be my first short tho2:when I was talking about experimenting I was referring more to art styles, like those stylized youtube mini series like maybe digital circus or that polygonal girl ena, it could be something like that but it would require more time so I just chose anime style because it's cute and everyone likes it or so I think.3. blender, cascadeur, marvelous designer y substance painter, after effects.4. currently I have 3 minutes of video and I would say I'm half way through, so in total it would be about 6 or 7 minutes of animation.
>>1008352it's just kiru for now, in another time I will think of a last name for her>>1008382heart problems, isn't that funny ? lol>>1008457those were leopard stripes but I think they look better in black idk>>1008393I'm a bit optimistic because indie animators on youtube lately are getting a lot of attention and for now the bar is not so high so that's why I've “lost” so much time in this project, although I paused it a few months ago for work but I want to finish it fast.
>>1008458>designer y substanceHola Paco
youtube is shit and the algo sucks, but post it here and I'll at least like it and subscribe and shit. hopefully it goes well I like emo girl shit. good luck.
>>1008456>>1008459>>1008457The hair looks too neat and stylized for some neet girl who doesn't shower. She needs to look more unkept and stinky.
>>1008460im from argentina so I'm probably less paco than uuu>>1008490I know youtube sucks especially with all that spam of Indians reacting to videos and AI but it's the only alternative and also she's not an emo or a femcel, why do you think every girl who sits on a computer is a loser with no life.... uhmmm well she is a loser but only because she's unlucky and bit dumb okay but she likes fashion and pink things she's more of a failed bimbo doll...
>>1008459>heart problemsCute. I hope she has meds.
>>1008165you and your OC should kiru yourselves
>>1008165>>1008233>>1008234>>1008268>>1008270>>1008456>>1008459Please don't give up or let anyone discourage you. Please be successful. Just keep trying.
>>1008456she's insanely cute and one of the best chars I've seen on this board
>>1008458> afraid of ai> use cascadeurAi will not take your job, people who use ai will so use ai, also i don't think you can ai generate passion yet, and your project seems to be filled with passion in my opinion, looking forward to see what you cook, another note about Ai is companies will try and inject it into any all service they have and offer, i don't think you should look at ai as a thing that will take your job or your work but more so a tool that will increase your project size, for example instead of 7 minutes taken months, with ai it could take weeks, yea quality might not be as good but with time it could match it, i hope that makes sense and you live your life once, so anytime you feel hesitant or worried just remember you only live once so take any leap of faith or risk you feel like
>>1008644jeet detectedopinion rejected>you will kill all the sovl in your projects and you will be happy
>>1008645reason why you are Mr.dumbass:1. not a jeet, and i bet you're a burger mutt, projection fag.2. Ai = no soul, can YOU define a soul retardOP use Ai, your entire argument is invalidalso are we doing the whole "AI kills soul" argument again? almost as if people said the exact same thing about digital art couple of years ago, yk back when “real” artists scoffed at Photoshop/csp/blender and tablets, claiming they’d never match the soul of traditional painting. Fast forward, and now digital art is everywhere, and guess what? It’s filled with just as much passion and creativity as any other medium but sure, let’s pretend history is not repeating itself. Let’s ignore the fact that AI, like any other tool, is only as soulless as the person using it. If someone lacks creativity, no amount of AI is going to fix that. And if someone actually has talent, AI isn't going to erase OP vision it just another tool to speed up the tedious parts so he can focus on the stuff that actually matters at the end of the day, people have two choices: adapt and evolve, or get left behind clinging to outdated purity tests. But hey, if rejecting useful tools and making art harder for yourself makes you feel more authentic, then by all means, go off
>>1008677>claiming they’d never match the soul of traditional painting.They dont
>>1008677Stupid, anon. The tools like photoshop, drawing tablets and Maya/Blender helped progress art into newer style. A.I is nothing more than a copycat that has no understanding of why we humans want a specific art. Your augment is flaw when mentioning anything that isn’t real, the AI will simply fail to create the original new art because it doesn’t have it on its database. That should tell you why AI does not work.
>>1008677kek don't tell them that, they'll cry like the /Ic/rybabies do
>>1008682>Cant make “certain porn”Sure anon sure…
OP is a faggot who still hasn't made anything YWNBAW
>>1008723>she>her
>>1008723i agree on the last part, however the rest of the argument is stupid, its same as "oh don't do big plans cuz ww3 is coming soon" or "nothing really matters cuz eventually the sun will explode"
You will unironically get a cease and desist from the creators of Bocchi if you get any traction with this shit.You have copied the character almost exactly. I would not advise you to continue this.
>>1008728bocchi if instead of being a musician she just shot up heroin on a daily basis, also OP OC is a zombie with heart problems i think that's pretty unique because how the fuck a zombie having heart problems?
>>1008728was the creator of bocchi sued by the creator of komi san ? or the creator of tomoko ? or that other brown haired bocchi ?stop being retarded
>>1008459stop comparing with others, get your shit done, and repeat
>>1008689>muh coomyou know you can draw WITH ai, right?>it can't do hands how further out into the fringes will ai push you guys?
>>1008731don't forget K-On aswell
>>1008734Ai sucks at helping, if you draw inside the lines it goes outside, ask it for a straight line but Ai will leave the page borderline, precisely tell it to make a wedding dress in a outdoor setting and Ai will put inside a church with sad dark dress. Stop lying about how you believe Ai works, we know it doesn’t work.
>>1008744that's a skill issue
>>1008747It’s Ai skill issue you idiot.
>>1008750How are you blaming a tool? it is a skill issue that you don't know how to use Ai
>>1008750>blaming the toollol,lmao even.have fun with your little project.
Adult watamote Vidya? It is for the culture: keep grinding.
>>1008751>>1008758>The tool makes obvious mistakes>No it’s fine>Guy cuts ear because he hates people>This is fineThe two are bad at taking criticism and accepting truth. Art will always have a mistake, Ai perfectly doing art is not art.
>>1008730>>1008731Seethe plagiarist. Cease and desist.
>>1008747
>>1008778>tool's fault >artist mistake=good>ai mistake=bad>no ai mistake=still bad>"x" isn't art
>>1008728Retard alert
>>1008836This is why normies can tell the difference between art and AI. Real art is with human mistakes by inexperienced artists. AI art is easy to spot the mistakes, too much professional work yet unnatural stuff, no care about color theory or levels of promoter demands. It will never be a replacement for real art.
>>1008677>can YOU define a soul retardholy shit it really is a jeet, jeets don't have a soul and cannot comprehend something as basic as putting one's soul into their work
>>1008233What shader did you use to make your background look like that? I'm struggling to get my environment assets to have that anime feel.
>>1008677Great shob at shitting up the thread Jeet.
>>1008165Which technique are you using to make the face normals look smooth?
>>1008854It's not as simple as you think it is. Wait until you discover midjourney's niji. This is all AI btw: https://x.com/0__11Xx
>>1008644> remember you only live once so take any leap of faith or risk you feel likeKek, what kind of logic is that. I get it you meant something like picrelated but it's absurd to say "take a leap of faith" and "you only live once" in once sentence. Risk is a big deal and "you only live once" emphasizes this.
>>1008978"You only live once" is a figure of speech for taking risks - often recklessly - not avoiding them. Did you forget the "YOLO!!!!" trend among normies?
How's the project going?
>>1008975Why do ai pajeets love that image so much?
>>1008982Idk, for me it was always about laziness or shyness or "pushing yourself out of comfort zone", not about actual risks, otherwise it doesn't make any sense.How in your head "you only live once" is a good justification for risking you life, which you just said you only have once?> Did you forget the "YOLO!!!!" trend among normies?I can't forget something I never heard about.>>1009013I'm not using it yet, but I admit it's getting better in many ways and areas and maybe I'll use it one day too. I also think in art the value is defined by interpreter rather than author.Whatever author meant or went through only becomes relevant when people are making effort to learn and understand that,which is only the case for a very small number of people with certain mindset who also often don't really enjoy art for what it is and only care about politics and "social impact" of things.
>>1008975>>1009021>iT fooL tHeM beCAuSe iT looKs SiMpLeThis proofs nothing /v/ aren’t the smartest people and they aren’t artists. You just cheated to get replies. Also twitter is still down so stop using that nazi website as your source.
>>1009036You got hysterical and somehow managed to bleed your political views into the discussion without even saying a single word that could be considered a valid argument. Here's the latest picture from that account. Niji itself still fucks up fingers and similar minor detail every so often, people just re-prompt, ask to fix certain regions, or even fix that manually with sometimes quite impressive results. And there are no reasons to believe those models won't get even better in nearby future. Big things are coming to generative 3d AI as well, I've seen a Blender addon recently that introduces node-based stuff to utilize AI. There are artists with decades of experience that look at AI as a tool to improve their workflows instead of just dismissing it as uNfAiR and NoT tRuE aRt like you do. Now guess who will win if you are given the same amount of time to do a certain project. Another point, the amount of insignificant grindy work is titanic in fields like animation and 3d, are you going to avoid AI even for that? Like, you seriously consider working out the seams, UV unwrapping or adding minor scratches over your logs or whatever as extremely important things to be done manually to make your work true art?
>>1009013>MUH SOVL x300>it's aiit's pretty obvious why
>>1008165>one of only productive threads on board got shat in by jeetsHide thread it is then
>>1009049You don't get it, we bump the thread to keep it on top.
>>1009040If you’re supporting the nazi then why should anyone care about you or your opinion. You are the bad artist and you are the bad person in this thread.
are you done shitting on my thread ?and i dont use AI, i use cascadeur because its interface and tool are baby tier and any dumb can learn to animate fast there and you dont need a complex skeleton either, but its AI sucks and besides blender is horrible for animation, just look at pic related i dont know what the fuck is going on there or maybe im too retarded to understand it idk.
>>1008165The implications of this animation being released to the public will have dire consequences on our youth. With the model alone, I have confidence that what you're making will be great. But don't hang up on the scary boogeyman that ai is for some people. In my opinion, what you need to worry about is this being successful and then worry about how the public will respond. I have no doubt in my mind that the most mentally ill and rotten women in the world will worship Kiru. The lowest of men will commission smut of her. And terminally, online trans people will taint your creation. Don't let your hard work and devotion be corrupted by the public and turned into something you don't recognize.
anyway I was working on a commission and that's why I didn't attend the thread or my project actually I have little time for the project but if you are interested this is the other girl I was working on you guys think she is cute ? i think she is better than kiru and that bothers me, in fact every girl i do looks much better than kiru even though i have worked on her three times as long as on those girls, i hate kiru actually >:c and i will make her suffer all the time if this project is not a total failure.
>>1009071For me personally when I sit on the same project for too long I start to hate it. I get burned out of looking at it. It helps to take breaks and work on something else.I think she is cute but I like Kiru way more. Also that dark thing hanging from her shoulder looks off.
>>1009070indie animators are getting a lot of attention lately regardless of the AI so I'm a bit encouraged by that, well in fact an indie animation won an oscar or so I heard.>>1008767I don't think it will look like watamote tho but there will be a character like that later on, and in the second chapter I will show 2 more characters, regardless of how the first chapter goes I will also do the second one.>>1009008I'm already half way through so I think it will be ready in a month's time.>>1009072it is an armor, not yet ready pic related the reference.
>>1009071How can I commission you? What are your rates
I will watch your career with great interest, OP
>>1008894don't forget me anon
He's gone...
>>1009719Gone but I'm still here...
>>1008492>im from argentinawait really? because Ive been looking for places that teach this stuff here like escuela DaVinci but they look like total scams.I mean ive been looking at their "graduates" portfolios and most dont even have a single project done
>>1008165can you guys define loser to me? im retarded, i don't understand what you guys mean
I wonder if the anon achieved his dreams...
I'm here, I haven't gone anywhere, I've just been very busy with work, I barely have time to work on the project but anyway I've made some progress, just look at this top tier transition on what I've done lately
look at this bug I had with after effects I think it's cute>>1009082it depends on what you are going to commission tho, but if it's a girl around 1000usd, I might accept less if I'm starving.>>1009632first of all it's pretty distorted because of the shitty compression I had to do for 4crap to allow me to upload the file, but the main thing is the lights, there are like 2 suns there one making the reflection of the window and the other pointing on the bed, up on the ceiling there is also a point of light, the trick is to play with many light sources until you get what you are looking for.>>1009797ironically I learned everything from youtube and manuals, years ago, for some reason I took 3d as a hobby and I liked it a lot so I ended up learning about blender from sources on the internet.in youtube there are university level tutorials if you get to filter all the clickbait shit, I learned from a spanish teacher that for some reason decided to give his courses for free on youtube, unfortunately I can't find him but I don't think he's any good for you since his tutorials are with the 2.0 versions of blender.>>1009994not yet but I'm hoping it will before jeets invade youtube with low quality AI crap.
>>1010082You can upload an entire movie if you trick 4chan upload with file data. It’s way too advanced and takes a lot of time so the best thing to do is compress it to 280p and that should fit the file size requirement.
@1008165
>>1010082>I learned everything from youtube and manualsthat's really hard to believe. mostly the manual part, no one reads themmind giving a few pointers? most of the useful stuff Ive found is either from guys at Blenderartists, Artstation learning and this other VFX forum I forgot aboutit doesnt have to be explicitly Blender related, just 3D stuff you find essential (ie learning anatomy from Proko in my case)
When are you going to post your YouTube
>>1010087>You can upload an entire movie if you trick 4chan upload with file data.qrd?
>>1008234>what personality, I'll flesh that out laterThis is the most depressing thing in all your postsNormally I'd be with the people telling you to tough it out and find the light at the end of the tunnel but everything you've described is shit you're sleepwalking through down to the character design because it's easier to imitate what you've seen than learn what made them work>a substance abusing slacker goth pixie girlfailure who's gonna try vtubing next, this is totally not my rehearsing begging for titty skittles on gofundme>please save me video games, you were my only friend when my parents yelled at each other for hours after the child psychologist said the A word>it has more story than that We both know if it did you would have found a way to hint at that alreadyI'm being mean as fuck to you because you're sleepwalking through this whole thing so when it invariably fails you can feel sorry for yourself again. Take an actual class on writing. Read McKee's "Story" and when you feel shame, recognize everyone else reading it did too.Fuck Jappo video games like this, they're harming you more than my words ever could.
>>1008165Never kill yourself, anon. You have all this talent, so don't throw it away. I've been trying to learn modelling to create assets for my game, and I'm trash at it. I have to use AI to come up with concept art, then try to model it and butcher it with texturing. Your stuff is really nice. You must've practised a lot to get this good. Don't let it go to waste.
>>1009069I might get hated for this, but have you tried the new Blender 4.4 interface? I heard it's actually pretty good it compresses those abominations into sections kind of like how Premiere Pro handles video tracks. Or, you could give Unreal Engine 5 a shot; I heard it has some solid animation tools. Best of luck, OP! I've been following this thread since the beginning and check in every week for updates. The story seems super interesting imo
do u have twitter or any kind of platform that u also share ur progress?
>>1008165>receive death threatsif you don't come back and post more kiru i'm going to kiryu
>>1012197Twitter is dead, have you read the news
>>1012587To be fair, Xitter is still the most popular artist platform. And honestly, private likes is my favorite social media feature. Everyone should do this, especially soundcloud.
>>1008165Looks nice
>>1014215You just couldn't let it die, could you?
>>1008233Cute>>1008241>Do we seriously need yet another one of these characters to add to the pile?Yes
>>1010079Impressive. Very nice.- Patrick Bateman
>>1010079The model is really good, the animation made it even better (which sometimes is not the case), congrats!
>>1008233the way that bird on the left is jamming is awsome man. Keep at it anon.
>>1014764Kek didn't even notice. Nice detail indeed.
Bumping. This looks exciting. Have you considered making a video game?
Bump!I like the premise, I'd like to know more about the project. How it's named? In what channel will you upload it?
bump because this thread absolutely cannot die
>>1008165Cheer up bucko
>>1018759Wow nice passages, was this from somewhere?
