I'm sorry. I'm switching to Maya and am leaving you guys behind. I want to make it more than anything but at this point the software has reached its limitations. I've just bought a perpetual zbrush license and am pirating Maya until I can afford to pay close to 2K a year for it. It sucks guys but you need to realize that Blender just doesn't have the quality assured to make it in the industry. But you do. Be free bros. Be free.

If you don't work for customers, its perfectly fine to rip off Autodesk a little longer.

Spending money on Autodesk is depressing, having a cute bimbo sliding her big tits over your oiled body while tripping balls is the perfect antidepressive.

It requires some knowledge of how to set it up correctly to get decent results, but they are usable.
If you want more sophistication; try Realflow or Houdini...although the later might be a bit overkill if you just want to do some fluid sims.

Realflow has interchange plugins for major 3D packages, but it's not specifically designed for use with C4D.
The scale and fidelity you can get out of its sims are far better than what blender can do on its own.

>>821135
Yes, the modifier stack. I'm not sure where the boundary for reasonable non-destructive modeling lies, but Blender's current situation is frustrating, because it feels like if it were just a bit more capable, it would suit my needs. Mostly I want to be able to have manual smoothing groups, and more control over the results of modifier operations. Being able to have different bevel weighting groups for edges. You can only use vertex groups aside from the single edge weight, which doesn't seem to have the same behavior. I'm probably missing a lot from lack of knowledge too.

The texture paint mode is really awfull desu
You could just paint directly on the textures or create a new one and use the alpha for blending but its not worth investing time in this tool. As far i know it doesnt even have multi-layer support, so for more complex materials you would have to paint color, roughness and normal separately.
The least terrible way would be painting a mask (which can also be used as a canvas for dynamic paint) to blend between different materials/texture sets, but i'm not sure if that's suited for your needs.
Just do yourself a favour and edit or re-create the textures in any other program

Here's a few ideas off the top of my head:

1) You can just flip the normals of the outer hull for the frames he's being zapped and apply a black material.

2) You can render the skeleton sepparatly and combine them in post.

3) You can get fancy with materials and render order and set the skeleton to draw ontop of other things (if your package/shaders allows).

Make your mesh into a plane, it may work better. After that adjust offset like the other anon said+ add solidify/extrude once the skinwrap is applied

Any way to get the rings for the wave node to increase the distance between rings as it scales out from its origin? I think the word is the "period" between rings.
So pic related is what I have (top) compared to what I want (bottom), the distance between rings start small, but gradually get larger the further it gets from the center.

It doesn't have to be done with the wave node, I'm just looking for a procedural way of doing it without a texture, since I plan on animating the rings expanding from the center.

That'd be nice, but that's not how the node works.
This is what I have to work with.

Scale increases/decreases the size, and yes I tried plugging in a math node and increasing by an exponent, it just scales it uniformally.
Distortion distorts the rings making them wobbly, with the detail and detail scale changing the amount and scale of the distortions. Roughness making them rougher.
Phase offset just moves the rings outwards in all directions. For what it's worth, I tried plugging in a math node there as well, but it just moved the phase by the amount it results to.

There's a vast range of brightness across light sources that people commonly encounter, more than the range that a typical 24-bit-color image can cover. If you tried to use the same camera settings for a moonlit night and a sunlit day, one would be overexposed or the other would be underexposed and you'd be able to make out any details in at least one of the two cases.

It sounds like you're approaching an indoor scene with a virtual camera meant for a daylit one, or something like that. So change the exposure settings here; every time you increment it upward by 1, your light sources will seem twice as bright.

archive.org has a bunch of anatomy books collections. I don't have the links on me but if you search "anatomy for artists" you should be able to find them. I think /ic/ also has a bunch of threads where you can find good books. As for composition and lighting I think the best thing to do is to look at art you like and trying to understand what you like about it. Should be good enough as long as you understand the fundamentals (3 point lighting, basic color theory, composition on thirds or golden ratio, etc) I don't know enough about animation to give advice on that.

>>823042
You can maybe avoid it if you start with a very clean mesh topology-wise and using the multires modifier but that might require just as much work as doing a "dirty" sculpt and retopologizing that later and then baking your details as a height/bump map. Just download retopoflow, it's free.

I'm a huge blender noob and I'm experiencing problems on rendering. The scene is an interior, with a watery floor onto which you can see some light reflections.
Problem is, whenever I try to render, I'm obtaining these huge white squares, and the rendering lasts for ages for a single frame, even with resoluction at 35%. I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong and would love some help.

to trouble shoot stuff like this u should try to render first without the glass roof and water and see if that fixes it. If it does fix it, enable just the water and render. See if there are problems, if yes, it's probably in the shader.
A glass roof is always a bad idea, especially if not visible. Just keep it off. If you need to, I'd fake the glass roof caustics with shadow maps.

are you using progressive refine or bucket rendering? these white squares should only appear when using adaptive sampling and progressive refine at the same time. also bucket rendering with optimal bucket size for your gpu should be much faster to render.

completely pointless post 2.8 certainly does not make blender significantly easier to use.

get the latest vanilla blender release and once you're a bit more knowledgeable just start customising that to the way you like with your own hotkeys, addons, pie menus etc.

This new kinda cheap looking animation style you see on stuff like Castlevania and this, is it actually 3D with some aggressive cell shader and only every third frame rendered on the characters to make it look worse? I always thought the characters were animated by hand in this kind of show, and the rest was digital, and thats why the framerates were different but now I aint sure. Could it be that instead of working hard to make CG look like good hand drawn animation, they just made it look like cheap animation on purpose to be more convincing?

If you need icons for everyday stuff everywhere, maybe.
IMHO it's different, not necessarily easier, catering to a special niche group of users. Your intuition is correct - it (and the maker) gives strange vibes.
If I wanted a mouse-click heavy UI that is easy I would use Cinema 4D...

Any videos explaining shit with Geometry Nodes that DON'T do the basic-bitch application of scattering instances? Seems like every vid is just surface level and is all about the point-instance node.

The point instancing is cool, don't get me wrong, but every fucking video only touches that and nothing else more advanced (probably because the Youtubers making them are fucking retarded and can't figure out anything past that).

Gimme some parametric editing shit. I wanna make some procedural-generated abstract structures.

Yes, but instead of random distribution it uses even grid of vertices by subdividing plane. It's really trivial, you just need a collection with shit ton of variations of window blocks and a single point instance node.
I did the same thing, but as soon as you want to add some logic or rules in how blocks are arranged, you're out of luck.

It's basically this, and there is nothing to be excited about yet. On the right is original plane with geometry nodes turned off, on the left the same plane with geonodes. Each vertex is replaced with random object from collection. Collections are layered on top of each other, so every block has random interior, lighting, window and air conditioner. But there are no means to control anything, just complete randomness.

You dont.
Every one of those are shell-based shaders.
You want something like that? You're gonna have to duplicate your geometry at slightly bigger scales. So every one of those spheres has extra spheres that are slightly bigger than the one before.
The whole illusion is based on different layers interacting with parallax to make it seem like there's more to it.
It's something you can't really do with straight displacement or shader trickery.

If you've got a way to make shell-based shaders without actual geometry I'm all ears. I'm interested to hear about it. I've dabbled in them, but I'm a bit lacking in deep knowledge with them. So when I said it wasn't possible, it's probably also ignorance talking, since I wasn't able to do it like that.
I guess displacement would work no problem, but there's some layered effects that I don't think you could quite do since displacement only pushes things in/out.

Not for blender, sorry. I did a silhouette-altering fuzz shader for Lightwave an eternity ago, it operated as a volumetric post process in screen space instead of using actual geo. Still had variable amounts of samples to reduce stepping artifacts. There never was any practical use for it so I never tried to redo it in 3ds or c4d.

That's what it's for, yeah.

I didn't think about using volumes, yeah I guess that could work using 3d textures. I don't see why that couldn't be done in Blender though. Not as a "Blender can do that too, it's totally capable!" mindset, but I'm sure that if given enough effort, it can be done.
Like maybe taking a spherical gradient, using the math node to round/snap values, which should make the different shells, and then using a 3d voronoi texture or similar and multiplying that with the result to make the holes.
I think a 3d texture might be wrong, since you'd want the holes to stay in the same place, so a 2d/1d might work instead.

I'm gonna give it a try. I don't know if I can actually do it, but why not.

Or just look in the "relations" section of the teeth/nails and see who the parent is and make sure to have it be the same.

I want to jump back into sculpting and can't be bothered to either resub to or pirate zbrush (worried it might phone home since I've had a legit version on this system and I know some industry software tries to do that).
Only doing stylized work so I don't need the absolute best tools possible, basemesh creation just has to not be a pain.

Most sculptors I follow just use primitives like round cubes and such.
I think the closest thing from zSpheres is to use the skin modifier but it's not that great. See:

Personally I went through the pain of box modeling a bunch of base meshes from scratch with good topology because using those + the multires modifier makes it worth it in the end.

If you block it in your firewall it can't phone home anyway.

If you want something comparable to ZBrush for stylised you really need the quadremesher add-on.

If you think you can remember zbrush then do that though, pirate it, never pay a sub.

Autodesk and Foundry products can and still do it. Both companies low key confirmed that.
Others also confirm that there is some form of telemetry going on even after blocking.
Your only choice is to physically disconnect the machine.

Thinking about coming back to Blender. I switched to Maya because I fell for the meme. Now I can't find any Maya discussion forums that are active. In contrast, Blender has a lively community. Be it reddit, youtube, or 4chan, all have plenty of activity and content. Let me back in bros.

Hey, I have been meaning to share this: if you have split windows and the viewport header buttons get cutoff, and you rely on them, click and drag in the header with middle mouse button. You can pan the header left and right within the Viewport window. This was so sick when I first figured this out. Now I have overlay toggle on a quick favorite, and shift-Z for viewport shading. But at the time it was game changing

Is there a simple way to achieve this kind of stylized, "high res pixel art" look like in Cloud Meadow or other games like it? Example: https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/3969351
Basically what I want to achieve is
>sharp outlines
>no anti-aliasing
>clean cell shading

I found it, it's this box that's doing it. Do most people have this "On Cage" setting on with their subdivision modifiers?

>Do most people have this "On Cage" setting on with their subdivision modifiers?
Depends on the situation but I usually leave it off since it can be hard to adjust the cage with it enabled. It can be useful when you're doing minor adjustments on the surface of the generated mesh.

I asked this a couple weeks back, I know its stupidly basic but I'm just really new at blender. I've googled it a dozen times but I don't get the info I'm looking for. Is there just a simple way to add dirt to a skin texture I've already got set up/uv wrapped etc? like in photoshop if I had a higher layer and used a cloud brush

Is there a way to pause and resume cloth simulation in Blender?
Say for example I only need a cloth to be flapping for a few seconds while it's in shot of the camera, then it cuts to another angle and I pause the simulation, but when I cut back to it, I need the cloth to be laying over something in the say way but resume the flapping. Is there any way to just simulate and bake certain parts of it?

Is there any add-ons I can use to make a IK skeleton + switch for a pre-rigged model? I'm importing stuff from SFM and was curious.

From what I understand it's not possible with Rigify.

What causes SSS in Eevee to turn the skin green'ish in shadow-covered places? Why does no one talk about this? I keep seeing it everywhere and it looks disgusting.
Also, why does Pablo now just dump nothing but animus? He kinda stopped talking about dev stuff and that was kinda why I kept going to his Twatter in the first place.

I always thought it had something to do with how eevee only renders what the camera can see directly, and calculating SSS based solely on that

A while back I saw a tweet of him complaining about people replying to his tweets with random feature requests, I guess he might have gotten tired of the influx of retards who ask for shit every time he shows off a new feature.

When Quixel unveiled Mixer 2021 the livestream was full of retards asking for the ability to Bake textures, the clearly annoyed dev told everyone that they had no plans for Baking and that they should use xnormal or blender to do that.

Must be a pain in the ass to work weeks/months on a new feature only to have people beg for something completely different when you unveil it.
