damn, been a while since the last time i learn how to scupt, slacking was a mistake
>>997198That's Blanc from NIKKE, isn't it?
>>997244grease pencil and thanks I'll give it a shot
>>997223yes
>>997198this bitch wearing a wire fance on her bone ass
I am struggling to get proper edges.Have been re-doing a tutorial over and over, pausing the video every 3 seconds, copying every action, but my edges look sharp like /\ rather than smooth curves.The tutorial looks like the red outline, i don't know how, mine looks very different.
getting close i think. need to clean up a few things but kind of at the point where I'm not gonna make it any better unless I improve my 3d skills, and I'm not gonna improve my 3d skills unless I move on to the next project.how should I approach compositing it? I haven't messed with the compositor at all. was gonna probably try to put on a light blur or something, idk.
>>997324subdiv modifier
>>997211getting a bit better
>>997324Subdivision surface, this is subd modelling.
>>997358the cat just off screen is terrifying lmao i love it.
>>997381it's time to move on from heads bro, don't get stuck
https://files.catbox.moe/ofua1a.mp4things i would do differently>osakas rig had a minor fuck up, bonus points if you can catch where it became an issue>make her face more 3d, looks funny from an angle when it's just textures>rig chichi's arms normally instead of fucking around with bendy bones because they were a pain in the ass to animate and look weird>forgot blender has a built in camera rig addon, should have used it>be better at lighting idk about the compositing, tried to make it look like something you'd see on the crt in the early 2000s but idk. maybe went overboard with it.
>>997416i need to get used to the shape first, then i move to body
Finally created a 3d model of my waifu that i think is pre accurate so im proud of her and wanted to show her off. Gave her a spooky hat too cause i wanna make a halloween outfit. ill have to revisit the tail once i know how to make something properly fluffy if anyones got some tips for that, any other advice/criticism is greatly appreciated too.
>>997463Looks cute anon, good job
>shape the body myself so i don't depend on wandah course everytime i want to sculpt something>only watch wandah course for something i don't understandyeah, i'm gonna make it
>>997574damn, back then it took me 2 days to make the same result, now i can do it in less than a day, the head look a bit larger though
Does anyone have a twitter link of one jp artist showing off his cunny rig? He had a nice pelvis rig with a whole bone under the skin, led to very good looking deformations.
Anyone have a link to that Google drive with the vods of that one Korean sculpter who's really good? I don't have any other information to go off of to find it.
>>997605If you highly value your time, I suggest using a base mesh especially when you have done a handful of projects already.
>>997674>done a handful of projectactually no, never done a single project, i usually learn how to sculpt for a few week then drop it, and go back learn how to sculpt after a few month
>zremesher keep give me shitty resultuh oh, back to blender i guess
When it comes to props and costumes, do you guys use ZBrush (Zmodeler) or Blender?I'm talking things like leather bags, belts, buckles, hats, bangles and all that jazz
tummy test
>>997732I'm no expert so others might disagree with my sense of anatomy, but it feels like there's too much distance between the ribcage and the pelvis
>>997463Excellent job
>>997674He can start using a base mesh after he's sculpted a hundred bodies, repetition is the best way to get good at sculpting
idk about yall but eevee light groups are gonna make things a lot easier for me
I skipped 2 days of practice...it's over...
>>997807better than skip practice for 4 months...
>>997781hm, guess i'll use other image ref
>>997815use a reference that looks like how you want it to look in the end. On the way there the figure is going to look really weird because it's not a realistic body, potentially, you're trying to make.If your reference has you making very long torsos, but you like the final product promised in the ref then go with it till the end to make sure it's wrong. Like a One piece character's going to look real fucked up for 80% of the modelling process.
>>997797I don't know, I don't do a lot of rendering, I don't even know what light linking isI'm hoping the brush asset update isn't too annoying
>>997811I don't like the hearts, you should put niples on her
>>997893How the hell do you setup something like this? Shape keys?
>>997893>corrective blendshapesthe most powerful rigging tool in existence.
>>997893Anime was a mistake.
>>997848Yes I did put pink nipples on her but I will not show them to you.
sculpting hard
>>997927actually nvm, sculpting isn't that hard, learning anatomy is hard
>>997985fogot pic, god i hate myself
>>997715Zmodeler or Marvelous Designer.
progress, just some minor clean ups and she will be finished.gonna go sell the model on gumroad, wish me luck
>>998017>gonna go sell the model on gumroad, wish me luckyou might want to put it on other platforms, gumroad doesn't really work unless you promote the model outside of gumroad
>>998019What site do you recommend?
>>998020I deal in STLs for printing and that's Cults3d and Booth for anime, but that won't work for youI'm hearing vrchat avatar creators talk about Jinxxy, but apparently they also use Gumroad a lotI think there's TurboSquid and CGTrader for animation and game characters? putting your model on multiple marketplaces sucks but it's good to spread out I don't know if the Unity and Unreal marketplaces allow sexual contentsGumroad only takes 10% if they find the model outside of Gumroad, but if they use the search engine (Gumroad Discover) then they take a 30% cut, and your model has to be eligible for Gumroad Discover
>>998017give link, I will buy when it's rigged
>>998035It already is rigged, body uses Autorig pro and face uses faceit Will keep you in mind anon once the model is finished
i hate auto rigging so fucking much. just because it's automatic doesn't mean you don't need to fix shit. I know of a guy who sells broken ass rigs for $60, mostly with arp and rigify. actual scam. I hope you at least put in the incredibly small effort required to actually make arp work correctly. t. schizo that rigs everything manually
>>998040I had the autism to sculpt a model, do the retopo and then texture it. Of course I will put effort into rigging, will it be as good as other rigs? I don't know but I put effort into it so there's that
>>99804060 bucks just for rigging? damn, that's mega cheapdo you get nice weight painting at least?
>>998043if only jannies mistakenly made /3/ a red board I'd be totally fine with it
Still haven't decided on the back part of her hair
>>997198>https://www.youtube.com/@user-sy9do4tr4hJust found out he made a couple books too. Looks like only the first book has been uploaded to various sources. Similar content to his videos. First book covers modeling a simple creature, then a girl's face, hair, body, and clothes. 2nd book has materials, textures, rigging, and animating.Book 1 (with blend files and reference images): https://gofile.io/d/An5zqJ
>>998060that was already posted multiple threads ago with the other book and some other jap books which[s where this guy >>997219 got that model from
>>998060neat, thanks anon
>>997778there is a lot of inspiration from xitter
>>998062Oh, I didn't see it posted. I already have the book that guy is using though (Blender リアルタイムCGキャラクター制作入門).
>>998065just check the archive, it was like 3 or 4 threads ago
>>998066Did he bundle them all together? Only saw the 1 cover so I didn't check the download at the time, but link is dead now.
>>998067Yes, it literally says in his post the link has two of katsu's books and the extra book in that pic
>>998067>>998068Looks interesting, can someone who has the files upload them again?
burnout time
>>998077I would honestly just buy it from kindle and screenshot every single page. I did that on ipad and it was easy to translate on the go.
>>998082good job anon>>998040i made sure to go over most areas and clean them up by hand.autorig is good because it takes a lot of busy work off your shoulders, tho you shouldnt rely only on it,
>>998017lookin good anon, thanks for giving me some inspo to go back and work on my gob.mine's prob too western for this thread though
>>998092Very good gob
>>998065Can you also share that book?
>>998064Let's see the models you've made with this inspiration!
>>998128i'm still learning
>>998129That is not an excuse, specially if you have that much material saved
>>998132i save that material so i can learn anatomy and for motivation
>>998136Well? where is your work? I'd love to see it and I see this in a completely genuine way
>>998137>>998082
>>998139That's really neat anon * smooches your forehead *
>>998117https://gofile.io/d/5B8s4W
>>998159Thanks anon
>>998067>>998068>>998077Turns out I'm a moron and did have those files downloaded. Book 1+2 epubs and sample files.https://gofile.io/d/cX9Vzc
i hate to ask but what are niggas doing with their blender anime models. sure as hell haven't seen any indie anime productions
>>998197nothing, after i finsih i never open it again
>>998197coom
>>998197I think they mostly make courses, for making anime characters in blender
>>998197I want to make cool poses with mine and then maybe do a lil animation or two, otherwise I just do this: >>998238
>>998064those all .png and .jpg files?upload them somewhereimgurgofile
>>998283https://gofile.io/d/KezuYn
Let's say I finish a sculpture that I really like in maybe two years once I finally aquire a decent skill set. Theoretically how do I turn a sculp into a rigged model?
Starting character modelling (and eventually assets) for a game I want to make, even if it's just a demo in UE5.I always hated modelling in uni, I'm rusty. It's going to be a while, isn't it?
>>998308What are you gonna use this model for, anon?
>>998301take the t-pose and retopo it, then take it to blender/maya and rig it, either make your own or use a template and modify it.
>>998309>UseI just want to make something anon. It serves no other purpose.
do you think she is cute ? its my oc tho
>>998311That's a little hollow isn't it? everything deserves a purpose
>>998313how do the feet look?
>>998339Nah dude I just want to make shit. It's totally not meant for cooming.
>>998313cute in an ugly way
>>998313You are not a woman and you will never be, even if you pretend to be by self inserting into an virtual pixel character projected onto the screen, you disgusting, chronically online nasty tranny. As you continue wasting your time having your hairy ass glued to the seat all day and living out your fantasies, you will maybe at last realize gracefully you're a waste of oxygen and neck yourself.
>>998366wrong thread?
>>998355that's okay I guess, I wanted to achieve a look similar to tomoko.>>998366why you are talking about your homosex fantasies tho.
>>998366bro feels strongly about it
>>998366Why do you say that, is he a Godot user?
>>998419sauce?
>>998419>>998419wtf is wrong with her elbow?why she got a little dick hanging from it?
>>998453you don't have an elbow dick?did you get circumsized?
>>998454i must've been mutilated as a child
>>998453it's the thumb from the model on the left
>>998287Cool
>>998313Why did this post only get rude replies??? She looks super cute, love the eye makeup and the messy, loose strands of hair. the bangs seem a little more rigid than the soft face but overall super pretty. post full model.
>>998928crabs
>>998928absence of feet
>>998928it's not makeup, it's supposed to be her dark circles under her eyes, but I guess they look very pink and it looks like makeup, I'll fix that, She also has pimples and other things to make her look like a loser, it's like tomoko's energy or something.
>>998979Make porn please
>>998979yeah this looks great. I don't get what spurred so many negative comments.
>>998979Looks really good anon, but yes, there's a lot of shit on her face
>>997422Looking good. I'm glad that someone around here and can complete a project.
>>999024hey thanks!want to do this one next if I can finish my current project in time for christmas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fePtLL7oRDggive me a chance to redo the shitty cat rig and make a (hopefully improved) chiyo model
>>997198
>>999019The blemishes are the best part. The little bit of acne gives the vibe she doesnt shower. nnnnice
>>998992The first response only wanted feet. That's not being negative, that's asking for feet.The second one was being completely honest. She's got that unkempt falling apart at the seams pathetic loser that you want to coddle and indulge in appeal. The third response was from a fucking retard on who forgets they post on an anime website and should rope immediately.To put it another way, the only real response was commenting on the character, not the model itself.
>>998287thank you, I've been struggling to decide how I want my nose-mouth area to look, this will help
>>999043Disagree makes her look retarded to me, but it's a matter of taste
>>998979how did you make her skin shading so pleasant? just clever lighting or interesting nodes too?
took me 3 hours but I started trying to learn
>>999161keep it up friend
>>999161pretty good so far
progress
>still stuck at making body
>>999227gambare anonmind, it's pretty easy to get stuck on making a body forever, so consider calling good good enough at some point and moving to the limbs to avoid burnout. Though cleanup the pits and belly button area first.
>>999228yea, trying to find good naked female body ref to learn those shape
>>999227why she anorexic
>>997198im just starting out and how can i change my camera navigation in zbrushright now when i press with the pen and move it rotates the camera and when i hold it pans since im coming from 3dsmax I want it to be the other way around - alt+drag > rotate, only drag > panany videos on configuring i find are about how to add shortcuts to brushes or make extra menus is there a way to do it that natively without installing extra plugins?
>>999243assuming you will watch some course then you need to get used to it
>>999244i am, but i doubt they will focus too deeply on how you navigate around the object i want to keep it consistent between the two software
>>999243You can use right mouse navigation as well as the weird defaults. In any case, I'd recommend sticking with the program's configuration.
>>999199nice. how'd you get that semi-transparent look on the shirt? love that
>>999227I used to spend days making every body, it's never good enough and im a fucking professional sculptor. Happens to all of us, work on something else, you will have better feedback with limbs and the face
>>998035Here you go anon https://chiusan2.gumroad.com/l/Impish
fucking around with animation
>>999227what kind of reference or resource are you using to learn?
>>999222no horse penis? Gardevoir looks weird without one
>>999323i thought gumroad killed nsfw? did they reverse that?
>>999325Took me too long to realize what the fuck was going on.
>>999383resource >>998287 ref pic related
>>998053did you start with a figure or is this from scratch?
>>999388no
Painting time
genuine question why is it so much more common to see shapekeys for the face instead of bones? Even most bone-based face rigs I've seen on anime models are really just using bones to drive shapekeys. I feel like both methods would be extremely useful in their own ways so it's weird how one is seemingly more common than the other.
azumanga daioh character attempt # i can't remember, like 6 or something. trying something different this time around
>>999629i think I will do the mouth as a 2d type of thing instead because azumanga mouths vary so much and the specific shot i want to try to replicate is from a weird angle that would be hard to replicate with shapekeys
>>999621shapekeys are easier to make and work better for stylized characters
>>999785once more i am fighting a war against hair and losing
>>999872body wip, actually looked up how to make hands this time so hopefully they're not quite as bad as the osaka hands. I'd love to subdivide the hair but still keep the sharply defined bangs. is there an easy way to do that? maybe just make the bangs a separate un-subdivided mesh?
>>1000290Man, those proportions are godawful
>>1000290I hear that creasing is the way to go. So I'm just passing the info on. The way I did it in pic related appears to get decent results.And yeah, those hands are awkwardly small. I'd make them about 1.5 to 2 times bigger
damn i suck at hard surface modelling, but it's all for the sake of getting my surface hard if you know what i mean
>>1000349hard surface sculpting is a thing, a controversial thing, but a thing nonetheless
>>1000293>>1000295ty, made things a bit bigger/thicker, does that help any? should I move the waist up and make the legs a little longer? to be fair she has a big fucking head in the show so i kinda want to keep it a bit on the larger side.
>>1000384Post front ortho view and I'll help you
>>1000391
>>1000392nta but yeah arms and legs ought to be a bit thicker.
>>999161almost finished with my first project
>>1000392hey that face shape came out pretty good
thickened it up a bit more and added clothes which thicken it even more, idk. still kind of on the fence regarding the mouth, maybe I should try to make a 3d one anyways as a backup>>1000512ty. did it half modeling and half sculpting. gonna use sculpting tools more often, found it to be super useful. like proportional editing but way better.
>>1000392Too many subtle changes so I doubt you'd be able to apply everything, but it's mainly the hands being too small, the knees being too low/lower leg being too short. The side view is also super flat.
sculpting is a nightmare
>>1000527ye
>>1000432Terrible. Wtf is wrong with her face? Also not even anime
They make the face interesting hereAlso they make it seem so easy...
>>1000579Video in case anyone is interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKzFBVog2_8
>>1000579Ah yes I'm reminded again how zmodeler is vastly superior to blender. I'm going back to zbrush sir.
>>1000581Can't post anything on this site without accidently reminding some retard of some argument he had in another thread and is still ruminating aboutYes anon, some people use Zbrush, sorry if that triggers you, please call your social care worker.
>>1000579mate that's a basic anime face, there's nothing interesting, the most interesting thing is the inability to change the clay brush's smoothness
>>1000589First time I've seen slashing the profile like that, seems like it will save time
>>1000579>>1000590Hmm yeah that's the thing I took away from it, what's that tool to strip off all the geometry to the left of the line?
>>1000600It's KnifeCurve, just remember to save your project before using it, many times this causes zbrush to crash
>>1000609thats how they make it look "so easy" the video doesnt include all the times they had to restart and do things over again. They also practice modelling the same model multiple times before recording it.
Can I get tips on how to sculpt eyes like these?
>>1000624check his ingame model. he appears in plenty of jojo fighting games
>>1000623>the video doesnt include all the times they had to restart and do things over again>They also practice modelling the same model multiple times before recording it.Why do retarded beginners keep saying this kind of stuff? Is it just cope?
>>1000633Where's the cope? Are you going to just "improvise" your pro-learning videos you're expecting serious people to pay to watch? Do you think Bob Ross painted all of those paintings live on TV each for the first time too?
more or less done at this point, need to take out the temporary materials and texture it then fuck with the normals and can finally rig it.
>>1000641It goes to show what kind of fucking retarded beginner you are if you are comparing it to Bob Ross of all things. God, this board is hopeless.
Maybe wrong place to ask, but is this an ok way to make some creases? It's a piece of clothing for an anime style model, think MMD.
>>1000818Forgot pic.
>>1000819
>>1000820>>1000818>>1000819baking them/drawing them into the texture that you're applying to them. so you can cut down on tris
>>1000821The tris count will be the same with or without these creases, so adding them to the low poly version will not add overhead.
>>1000820Looks bad because they're too uniform
>>1000822Splitting normals effectively splits the vertices, which adds some storage overhead and can complicate primitive assembly, adding real-time rendering overhead.Consider that instead of having one vertex with one normal that exists in a number of triangles, different triangles now need the 'same' vertex with different normals.It most likely won't make a huge difference but it's false to say that there is no overhead.
Not sure where to seek advice with this type shit so i come here. At a point where im happy to move onto the next parts considering i intend to properly clothe her but feel like i might not be seeing something? i dont even prefer big booba desu lmao
>>1000857Torso is too long, boobs are too big and don't morph the way they should making them look like theyre directly attached to the collar bone instead of hanging off it (unless your plan is to add some sort of soft body physics and have it function like a taimanin character), abs are too flat and need more of a curvature, leg to pubis creases are way too prominent, upper back has no visible area or depth for shoulder blades but still has a back line, and the arms are fucky but I think I've said enough. I'd recommend putting it in an A pose to see how everything proportions in a relaxed state.
>>1000862abs are too flat!? this was the one part i thought i really nailed. leg crease was for sure too much and i adjusted a bit of all you mentioned. the chest is def meant to be egregiously exaggerated and have that sorta "fantasy" shape to it so i want it to stay very spherical, dont really know how it should be attaching tho ig.
>>1000864The abdomen should always have a slight curvature due to it being where the stomach and most of your vital organs are placed and the additional protective fat layer that is in front of it. The only instance where it would be straight, even if you had them extremely toned, would be in a fasting and low water weight period. That's what male body builders usually do alongside arching their back to give themselves a straighter more inward curved abdomen. You are basically missing the fat pad or the existence of a stomach.
