Firstly, don't get discouraged by what I'm going to say later on but your sculpt shows me you can understand shapes and volume which is half the battle.

Secondly you're fudging several anatomical elements: bicep origins are wrong, you're missing abductor policis longus, missing extensor policis brevix, can't tell if ulna or flexor carpi ulnaris

Try to understand the skeleton FIRST then draw the muscles on top. Everybody skips the skeleton when studying anatomy which is why 100% of models out there (even from AAA studios) have something wrong with them that no amount of blendshapes can fix.

So I worked on the eyes, ears, chest and blocked out the hair a little bit. Ended up modifying the topology to make it less intensive on my PC and working out the details.

Working on a metroid.
I'm thinking about how I might procedurally make the stalks look sinewy through shaders alone, or if I should just sculpt them directly.
I want to make the membrane darker, but I want it to influence the color of things inside the membrane much less, but I've been having trouble making that happen.
I was considering a second geometry with inverted backface culling, so I could have a first faint outward-facing layer that gives a slight tint to things inside, while the inverted layer colors things behind it, which I'm fairly certain would work, but I hate the idea of having almost-identical geometry overlapping itself and would prefer a full-shader solution.

You haven't fixed any of the problems, just added more details. I marked the most offensive areas. Muscles don't suddenly go from thick to thin, like your trap, pec origin and oblique would suggest. The area where trap attaches to the scapula and the pec at the sternum are especially offensive in this regard. Same goes to the lower portion of the oblique. The bellies should have smooth, organic shapes.
The fibers also don't really change direction mid muscle, they run from point A to B. Your upper lat and delt have fibers that just randomly change direction.
Bicep and tricep have respectively 2 and 3 separate bellies that are joined at a tendon. Yours are pretty random.
The pecs insert outside the bicep, you inserted them on the inside.
You seem to be thinking about muscles as of some weird plates with bellies popping out on top, while in reality they're just slabs of soft tissue sheathed in fascia that often envelops more than a single muscle, especially in the torso.

Some of the problems you mention with the details on the insertions were actually "artistic liberties" I took, I wanted to maybe make it look a bit more interesting since all the anatomy models I see always look so boring, but you're right I should fix that to.

It's looking comfy and atmospheric but some things don't look quite right to me:
the SSS on the candles is too strong, the texture on the vertical cylinders surrounding the hourglass makes them look curved, the glass material on the hourglass looks weird, I'm not sure if you wanted to put a layer of dirt or cobweb or something else but I'm not exactly sure what is happening there, the paper on pretty much all the books looks like a solid chunk of wood rather than layers of paper, the feather on the pen likewise gives off the clear impression that it's just an alpha texture slapped on top of a single flat polygon, the texture on the wall on the back looks to be very low resolution, I'm also not a fan of the color on it, but that is very subjective.
The overall composition looks pretty good, it's nice to see people actually committing to a full scene render, I hope you finish this anon, keep us updated.

Careful with those blacks, it almost looks like there is no GI. Some areas are too dark. It would be nice to see a bit more variation color-wise, everything melts into this greenish-yellow tone. I can't tell if some of those books are dark green, blue or gray, they all look the same to me.

The flames of the three candles on the right look exactly like the wax itself. The darkened bottoms in particular look weird. If the bottoms were transparent, and maybe also had a visible wick, it would look significantly better.

Nobody who works with books and papers would keep candles that thin that close to the books without holders. That's a massive hazard to valuable books and papers. The person would have to be out of their mind, and the table isn't messy enough to give that impression.

The hourglass could use a visible trail of sand between the top and bottom, and the bottom should be peaked, rather than flat, and the sand in the top would look more natural if it had more of an angle, as most large hourglasses don't settle flat in the top unless you shake it flat (which is basically pointless). As is, it looks more like a nonfunctional decoration than an actual hourglass.

Those envelopes look really modern and out of place. Remember, traditionally, envelopes were folded by hand and sealed with wax. Fancy ones would be closed with a ribbon under the wax seal, and simpler ones would be sealed with a string, or simply the wax on the paper if it was to be transported a very short distance. In very many cases, the letter itself would be folded and sealed, rather than being placed in any envelope, especially if it was to be delivered very closeby. A clumsy seal could look quite sloppy, like this, while a more experienced seal could look even almost perfectly round. However you do it, a wax seal (possibly along with the partially-melted sealing wax and the seal itself) would really add to the authenticity of the scene, even if you keep the envelopes the way they are.

All in all, it's fantastic and I love it. You fixed most everything the other anon pointed out and it looks really good; much better than anything I've done.

Got more done with the metroid. Didn't get it done yesterday like I wanted. Won't get it done tonight.
Tomorrow I'm going to put the little guy in a cave and actually finish it off. I'm thinking either a lava cave for lava illumination or a dry cave with undefined floating firefly-like orbs. Probably the latter to influence the color less, as the lava would be necessarily very red, but the lava would allow the refraction to come through much more nicely.

On top of what the other anon said, things like the optical drive and memory card flaps are never exactly regular. They'll be angled slightly, or off-center. Also, corners and narrow edges should be more rounded unless the console is supposed to be brand-new, as these things wear over time.
As far as "surface roughness variations" goes, a rough surface will be smoother wherever the surface is touched more often, so it should be more smooth around the ports, and wherever somebody would typically put their hands while interacting with the console itself (swapping discs and pulling and plugging controllers and memory cards).
Yours would be basically fine for a showcase display unit, like what would be shown at E3, but nobody's actual PS2 is that pristine.

Got much better lighting here, and after fighting with Blender and Cycles for fucking hours, I got the double-layer membrane look. This looks way better. I need to actually figure out sculpting. I've sculpted and scrapped the sculpt 5 times so far, because it looks like shit every time.
Looking at >>807265 , I'm also realizing that my nuclei don't look as good as they could. I might swing back around to them afterward, but I'm not that unhappy with them.

I've noticed that my renders in Blender look much brighter than my exported images. I think this is because of the display transformations (normalizing the higher-range values into a clamped value for output), but it does make it more difficult to actually get the final output looking the way I want it to. I can turn off the display transformation on export, but I feel like that's not a good solution, because I can't do that easily for animation output, and I feel like that's probably just clamping the values instead of transforming them properly. Anybody know if there's a way to get blender to render and actually show the transformed values for easier iteration of work, or is that not possible and I just have to get used to it? I've tried searching around, and I'm not finding any answers.

I did the bottom technique first, but the top ended up being easier to shade, particularly because then I can selectively hide either the inner or outer membrane while working on it, and the backfaces are always opposite the camera. The bottom one is more semantically pleasing to me, because it more matches the physical concept, but I'm not going to go far out of my way for the same results.

I'll look into the color management. It's more an inconvenience than anything.

>>807465
Oh yeah, for sure. I'm probably going to try to do a displacement modifier + noise, and then use a texture to paint on the modifier so I can manually constrain how intense it is. That's going to come after sculpting, because the flesh needs the detail more desperately.

I was hoping to have this done earlier this week. It's probably going to take me another couple days at least (I only have time to put in an hour or two a day), but at least it's shaping up. My last project was a bit of a bummer and I never finished it out; I'm just glad this one is coming together.

No, I mostly agree. While there is a degree of creativity in adapting a concept to 3d, especially for less fleshed-out concepts, the creative core of the resultant work is usually still in the concept.

You know in a production environment that there are concept artists and environment artists whose entire job is to figure all that out for you so you can turn it into 3d right? Doing your own concepts can be good if you are a good designer. But if you are making a portfolio as a 3d artist you should not be doing your own designs UNLESS you are at the level of a industry 2d artist, if you make your own designs for your portfolio and those designs are shit regardless of how good the 3D is, its gonna be a shit piece. I understand your sentiment though you seem a bit pissed off. I think for 3d artists trying to get in the industry, there is so much you have to learn for 3D and if you want to have good concepts, its gonna take even longer because now you are studying and splitting your time learning 2D. I see a lot of 3d artist here designing their own stuff and thats probably why a lot of the work here is really bad or below the standard. People need to use and study reference more.

What a plebian take, 2D is a waste of time for someone who has the skills to sculpt without reference.
>I see a lot of 3d artist here designing their own stuff and thats probably why a lot of the work here is really bad or below the standard.
No, a lot of people here are beginners.

A 2D pleb can never create a piece like pic, he lacks the three dimensional understanding.

Your mindset is that of an industry wagie, weak and subservient to the concept artist.

I am a freelancing that doesn't work under a studio at the moment. You're clearly baiting but regardless to others, 2D is not a waste of time but it is time spent doing something other than 3D so that's something you should weigh when you want to do both. Being able to do your own concepts is fantastic and a great skill for anyone to have but they have to be good or meet the standard. Also hardly anyone actually sculpts without reference, Why would you do that? You are shooting yourself in the foot. Nobody is going to award you with an achievement if you do something without reference, but everyone will call out your shit sculpt when they know you didn't use reference. Also to the guy I am replying to, stop using buzz words like pleb and wagie, its rotting your mind and I'm sure it shows in whatever work you do.

>Also hardly anyone actually sculpts without reference
probably the biggest mistake of digital 3D artists, have you ever seen the sketches of some classical sculptors they are some 1 minute sketch on a napkin. Learning how to draw properly takes a lot of time and shading doesn't help you one bit in 3D learning how to paint takes even longer and doesn't help you either. All you do by making neat concept art is waist time and teach yourself to sculpt only by looking at a drawing (you are mostly training with silhouettes) . The proper more efficient way is to train your 3D imagination being able to visualize something 3D in your mind is a skill that will always be helpful for a sculptor.

2D has little benefit for a sculptor, it can become a crutch taking up your time and teaching you bad ineffective ways to sculpt.
Training your 3D perception, understanding and imagination is the most useful thing you can do.
Modell a twig, learn anatomy etc. and understand the forms that make up object (and not the 2Dshapes/silhouettes)

You could tastefully take different designs with similar styles and put them together with little tweaks to create something new. You don't need to do it from scratch, but you will still have something original and not just a (always) worse looking 3D copy of some 2D artwork. It makes me happier and fulfilled when I create my own work like that, so that counts as well. I know I'm not a godlike prop designer so depending on a subject, I "steal" from a reference more or less. However I feel more confident in my composition and lighting skills, so that is of my own.

a wattle and daub wall in a cellar makes no sense.
Brick or stone walls.
more likely than a wooden floor would be a clay or stone floor.
If your cellar needs a vaulted ceiling your door probably needs to be arched or have an arch structure in the wall above the frame.
windows are too big and too many (you want a dark cold cellar) hanging meat so close to the ceiling in the middle of the room is dumb (you would have to bring a ladder to get it down.
The way the stones are placed in the vault this would collapse on your head.

i think its beginning to sink in for me that people can only buy so many video games. the market is too saturated. graphically, i think 3d has been pushed to its limit. look at screenshots comparing shots with raytracing on and off....the differences are miniscule. what else can be done but improve the lighting slightly?

Idk man, people keep saying this but I think there's still plenty that can be done. For one, we still need to be careful not to add too many sides to cylinders, and shit still looks bad from a closeup. Textures can still be blurry if you're not supposed to look at an object from a closer distance. Lighting can still be improved, ray tracing in UE4 for example still doesn't provide good enough GI and reflections compared to path tracing. There are plenty of errors with ray tracing, especially with glass surfaces and things not rendering in reflections. Shaders can be improved. We're still using flat planes for foliage and even the best ones look crap compared to movie quality foliage. We still have to think about the amount of bevels and if it's worth it to add an extra bevel level or not. We still have disgusting screen space effects that fade out on the edges of the picture when you move the camera. We still only keep thin surface details on normal maps. Etc. etc. A lot of these things might be removed with UE5, but I doubt it will be THAT good as they're saying.

Unreal 5 promises a kind of Autoretopo/AutoLOD system that eats static geometry and creates a dataset from it that can be streamed in real-time.
It only works for static assets tough - NOT for characters.
If you had observed the UE5 demo with the proper eyes you would have seen that the character was pretty bland and actually the weakest point of the demo.

The scene is too busy right now. I can almost feel my head hurting when I look at it and try to figure out what is happening. Zoom out of the picture and see if you can tell what is happening. I don't know where to look at, I first see a floating sword then jump to the other side and see the cabinet. Everything else in the middle is dark and reflective. I'm not even sure if there are bunch of glass surfaces in the background or is it all coming from tiles on the floor? Take a step back and decide what you want to show in the picture. Focus on that, make it visually clear. Focus the lighting on that, create some visual paths toward the subject in the picture. Light sources are fighting for the attention, you need to simplify them. Either iIluminate only the cabinet and remove the sword, or make the sword light illuminate more of the bed and its surroundings and remove the light above the cabinet. Try to create some hierarchy of lights, play with intensities, don't have 2 lights of the same color and same intensities on opposite sides of the picture. It's super overwhelming atm.

mate it's just a wip thread, i'm not asking 4 critique but thank you for sharing your thoughts. it's a room, which this is just one angle of, it's meant to be an ode to mirror rooms at state fairs or museums, the reflective walls and tile textures creating a sense of immense space and isolation simultaneously. the objects themselves are the story, not the way they are organized, which is in a scattered fashion in rooms, these objects bear meaning to things i experienced in the past, in a cell like room expressing my liminal-esque feelings, and considering this isn't the final product but the wip version just sit back and enjoy. i'm glad i made your head hurt, that actually motivates me to evoke that in others with my shit tier 3D abilities. another angle we do focus on particluar object in a less "busy" composition.

but really it's not that deep.

Thanks. I'll look into it.
I've managed to rig the body fine with weight painting and whatnot. I thought all rigging/movement/behaviours had to be configured in blender before importing into Unity. (Is that correct?)

To keep things moving on a 2D plane you'd need constraints on your bones, I'm pretty certain there's no way to transfer those over to unity. I don't know if VRM has any real support for such things either. Perhaps you can animate the eyes using blend shapes instead of bones? I think that might be possible. Not certain.

Ultimately I think you'll have to play around.

Hey frens.
So long story short, group of friends and I caught the "lets make our own shit" bug. 3 programmer, a music, a 2D art, and two 3D people- including myself. We're actually getting pretty far on this, despite this being our first project. Pretty exciting to see the early concept models I made in blender go into Unity and move around. Had only done basic stuff before in Blender as a hobby.

2 questions though, I've sorta only been shitposting anonymously here for... ever. 3D has been mostly a hobby as my degree was in a completely unrelated, non-coding field. Do you have any recommendations on:
> normie promotional blog / social media for 3D works
Do I have to use twitter? Full time 2D artist friends all seem to use it for commissions and promotion. Do you all recommend using something like Sketchfab for showing progress pictures and development?

> video tutorial websites
Originally did CGCookie back when 2.8 came out. Did their library get updated for 2.9 series? I remember seeing a bunch of 2.73 videos in their library at the time. Are they still ranked high? Been seeing a lot of Grant Abbitt. Really like his delivery. But he's mostly beginner level tier?

Anyway, here's screenshot of early concept enemies. Still working on the designs. We're starting with babby's first space shooter. Will show you webms of action as we progress along.

Thx anon. Do 1hr speed sculpts everyday and you will see results little by little provided you use reference. Do not bother sculpting from imagination because it will look like shit. This is mostly to train your observation skills.

Not only that study anatomy books, tutorials, other 3d models like pic related, look in the mirror, touch yourself (no, seriously).

Make rectangular face the size of your frame. Extrude it outward and scale it inward so that it looks like an old Windows 98 button. Extrude again, scale again, and you can make the entire frame that way. Input numbers with your keyboard if you find it difficult to keep things looking precise and uniform by hand.

>never finishing anything
what worked for me anon, is that i pay for a really cheap clay sculpting course, where they dont have a clear structure, just teach you what you wanna do. they dont know shit about the program i use, i autistically go with a notebook, but they dont mind, since i already know zbrush, i only need help completing my projects since one can get lost easily and cant figure out on what. thas it, if you keep at it, then you'll start to work on those projects at home aswell and everything will flow its course. hope it helped. been making the argonian 2 posts up by going to that course

I already have a backlog of tuts I watch when I want to do something specific so that helps. I tend to fix things I don't like or based on feedback from others before moving on only to end up backtracking again. As a result, I made her even more soulless.

Thank god for anonymity, because this shit is embarrassingly bad. I'm still learning, but I'm not proud of this at all.

I think he is talking about going to live sculpting classes and getting feedack/advice and following the group dynamics, but using a digital sculpting software instead of following along with real clay

The mixed shading you have going on here doesn't look too appealing imo. Either go all diffuse or all toon shading.

Blocking out an F-5E. Planning to merge all the meshes into one and then sculpt on it to make the shape a bit more perfect, then retopo. Obviously, I'll leave the wings and stabilizers as separate meshes. I think this is a good approach, but if someone has alternative ideas, I'm curious to hear them.
