Any tips for adding logos to a map like this? I found it easy to add the blue background, but with the big text logos across multiple panels, I would have to divide them up and don't really know where the pieces will match. I'm using Paint.net, any help appreciated.

the fuck is paintnet?
most 3d modelling shits will let you move your image in the properties bar.

also, you got this far you can learn to crop and cut graphics.

also, shit design for a car.

Can you post the map without the logo and the logo separately? I want to try something.

>>463400 Paint.net is great if you don't want to install heavier programs like Photoshop. I think it has enough features for most people. It might be too limited for OPs case though

just uv unwrap the door and under panel together as one island.

what building? no clue what youre talking about

I feel like I’ve wasted 15 years of my life, and my career has led me nowhere. At 35, I should be at my peak in terms of earnings and health, yet I’m a nobody. I keep ending up in shitty companies where I’m expected to do everything while getting paid less than gate keeper. For the past 10 years, I’ve designed websites, logos, mobile apps, print materials, books, t-shirt prints, labels, packaging, product photography, social media content, 3D designs, modeling, animation, and simulations. If I had focused on one thing from the start, I’d be an expert in a specific field by now and making decent money. Unfortunately, the harsh truth is this: if you are able to do anything that means you are good at nothing. When there are job listings for simple graphic work, they don’t want someone with 5+ years of experience. If they do want someone with 5 years of experience, they expect an expert in one particular niche. Today, no one even wants to spit in my direction. No one is looking for a 35-year-old guy who has done everything (but nothing specific) because they have 100 young, dynamic grads fresh out of college to choose from. The competition in the big city is just too strong. For the past 5 years, I’ve been working from home part-time, and somehow manage to pay the rent. The MS diagnosis broke me. Depression, no friends, far from family, always making excuses. If it weren’t for my wife earning well and help from my in-laws, I’d have nothing. It feels like everyone around me is doing fine, earning well, and building great careers - except me. I’m feeling down, I’m sick of this fucking city and its weather. I just needed to get this off my chest.

lol loser get a real job

OP update: I was looking for a job over 4 months. Found something kind of related to my skills. Office looks like shit, medium money, flexible hours, boss with ADHD, doing social media, product photography and bunch of shit not related to my experience but at least I am able to pay the bills. Not good not bad.

>>
>>463772
That's really not true. Most people just "go to work" and don't really do much and play WoW all day and then get paid. And the ones that don't just "go to work" and move bricks and shit and still get paid. Very little thought required.

Let me guess, you need more?
Literally all you need 99% of the time.

How does "Pantone +CMYK" work?

Is it actually Pantones? the swatches appear as CMYK,

if i send a file using a swatch of "Pantone P 179-1" are they going to spot print that color? or what?

goddamn pantone never making any sense.
>>
>>463640
Pantone is a company that literally just sells swatches - they have well defined colors and you can buy these swatches anywhere in the world. If order something in a specific pantone color from china, the manufacturer can buy a pantone swatch book, find the color, match it perfectly and send it to you. Is it waaaaaaaaaaay overpriced? Yes.
It's basically a proprietary, for profit standard that everybody seems to have adopted.
It's not smart, but designers seldom are
>>
>>463685
Yes..
I know all that about pantone.

I asked about the "Pantone+ CMYK" book.
I need to know specifics about /this/ specific aspect of their nonsense.
From someone who knows about /this/

Not the broad overview.
>>
>>463699
well pantone provides color mixing instructions too
>>
>>463640
Pantone CMYK is the Pantone guide for a close, and sometimes 'close-ish' match between the Pantone spot color (which is made of mixed ink according to the Pantone formula given on the swatch guide) and the CMYK four-color process (which is made solely from the blending of different levels of cyan, magenta, yellow and key [black].
Because of its limitations, CMYK cannot accurately match all Pantone spot colors. When Pantone still had Hexachrome, it's expanded 6-color set could quite accurately match something like 90+% of Pantone colors, but that was abandoned some years ago, sadly.
If you are designing for screen reproduction, however, you can safely use the normal Pantone colors. For print, if the color MUST match, you might need to suggest CMYK + spot color printing (requiring either a 5+ color press, or more than one run through a 4-color press).

Someone shared a tutorial (for C4D) here >>463317
basically you do an abstract thingie in a 3D program and the rest you do in photoshop/gimp/etc

And also look at references, this style is kinda old so there are tons of examples out there. Yandex is pretty good to find similar images.

if you ever figure it out tell us. i've been trying to figure it out for years. there are tuts on deviantart for C4D and Maya. haven't really seen much for blender and blender doesn't have some of the tools/same vertex snapping algorithms that made this possible.
the style is called "metalheart" or "trendwhore" btw. also common with this style is Bryce (3d software) metaball

>>463751
Ture but you can do your best to translate those old tuts in to something that blender work with

I really really really really hate synthwave like you wouldn't believe. People take this one singular aspect of 80s retrofuturism and make it the only thing that pops up in google image's search results when you look up 80s aesthetics. Holy fuck shit do I fucking hate idc if you guys call me a sperg I have this deep visceral hatred for that aesthetic. Maybe it's the oversaturation, or the fact that it's performatively retro. What happened to the other stuff associated with 80s retrofuturism like in pic related? Is it not "80s" enough for people or what

Don't use modern terms if you want to see stuff actually made back in the day. Look up artists names, movie posters, book covers, advertisement, etc.

They are called "rivers" and of course people have developed strategies for preventing them by adjusting type parameters or the copy itself to make them go away.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_(typography)

Strategies for Adjusting Typography to Minimize Rivers

To minimize rivers, designers can try:

-Adjusting the font size or style: Changing the font can help to reduce the occurrence of rivers.

- Modifying the text alignment or justification: Switching from justified to left-aligned text, for example, can help to eliminate rivers.
-Tweaking the hyphenation settings: Adjusting the hyphenation settings can help to reduce the number of spaces between words and minimize river formation.
-Using a different line spacing or leading: Increasing the line spacing can help to reduce the visibility of rivers.
