Been working on a Tron animation.
Still kind of early stages; still haven't actually bothered to finish the light cycle yet, it's on my list of things to do.
It's still not really hitting the right notes for me. I've got it in my head how it's supposed to look, I'm just not there with it yet.
Probably gonna extend the landscape further into the background to make the space a bit bigger, pushing the sea back, or add some rocks into the water and add some crashing waves or something. I've got a good bit of detail and stuff on the ground, but you lose a lot of it with the motion blur. I'd turn it off/down, but I like it. Maybe I just need to make those elements bigger/brighter so they actually show up.

Are you that anon who asked for help with the lighting? It looks like the same clasroom. Either way, it looks like it is its own thing now and is much different from the concept, which is great.

How's it looking so far?
I'm not sure if the space above the mouth is alright, I think I fucked it up along with the loop that goes from under the mouth to the nose, but I don't know how to fix it, or if it even needs fixing in the first place

Looks like you should stop falling into the beginner trap of box modelling faces. Learn the volumes and planes of the face with sculpting, worry about topology after.

Lightcycle trails flare upwards as they come off the wheel, might wanna fix that (Unless you're going for the Legacy look, then the trail doesn't look glassy enough)

Trail.jpg
Anonymous at Sun, 9 May 2021 21:24:03 UTC No. 824777
>>824744
I'm well aware of the upwards swoop.
I had tried to do the upwards rooster tail, but with the way I have the material and mesh set up, it can't really do that.
I'm planning on having the trail move on its own using a cloth sim, so the trail is really just a chain of verts, with the mesh part procedurally extruded. Which means there's not any UVs and I have to go off of object coordinates.
If it's really bothering me though, I'll probably just put the motion on a curve instead of generating the movement via noise, which will make the trail follow suit without any trouble.
I'm more concerned with the environment right now, since I'm still trying to find that image in my head.
I know about the glassy look too. It's been a hell of a balancing act to try and get it looking right. I kind of wanted it to look more like a liquid rather than glass, so the IOR is more towards water than glass. It's definitely a hard look to nail, and I'll probably be tweaking it and messing with it until the minute before I hit the button to start the final render.
It's not a huge deal, I'm not going for a 1:1 look. I mean my cycle isn't even based on any one design, it's a mix of the old/new and some of my own input. It's more about the feel than trying to do an autistic recreation of the movie.

Looks like I forgot to explain why that's kind of a problem.
It's just because I'm procedurally generating all the distortions and stuff. I could do it with UV and it would be a lot easier, but the way the mesh is made to work nicely with the sim without any headaches of getting the mesh to stay upright and shit, I had to use object coordinates.

The hair lacks volume (I find a lot of male artists struggle with hair unless they're homosexuals), and the level of detail across the face is inconsistent. Also the nostrils are really weird and she has no eyelashes. Or discernable eyelids, for that matter. Also consider giving specular to the irises and pupils.

Short answer - yes.
You should control where viewer's eye is going and build an hierarchy from that. What does he sees first, what second and so on. Better to test this in small size, maybe on a thumbnail. Now green glow is huge, shapeless and tells nothing about the image.

I think that animation itself is not very good desu, it feels pretty stiff like it lacks real inertia in the movements.
But by far the biggest problem is that the slash animations don't accurately represent the path of the sword. There's a total disconnect.
The industry standard approach afaik is to dynamically use the sword's actual location at each frame (or each n frames) to spawn trail particles or determine the position of a path for the swing effect.
Re. zbrush, did you really shell out $900? Is that just for hobbyist use, or are you planning to make some real money with it?
Anonymous at Thu, 13 May 2021 19:35:04 UTC No. 825772
>>825768

Yeah, the motions are there, but there's zero "punch" to the attacks, because there are no timing considerations (looks like you just slapped on some motion capture recordings, to be honest).
Also, you're fucking dumb for paying for Zbrush, especially if you just use it for simple little characters like that.
Otherwise it looks promising.

Working on a short film pretty much alone. The theme is Egypt.
I have 3 scene and this is the first one, the other two are in a tomb. Made everything but the candle and one other asset (book i think)
My first project on unreal engine that isn't just asset rendering for a portfolio The scroll is suppose to dissolve at the end, but still doesn't look good, for some reasons i can't figure out why niagara particles doesn't cast shadow. Anyway the shadows are weird and some texture are still missing, lighting build on medium.
cant figure out how to post a video without compressing the hell out of it, so here's some screen shots. the camera goes from left to right, there's a transition on the paper writing and then it dissolves. the starting position is bottom left

Note to self: invest 2000% more time in the blockout before continuing.
I know the importance of blockout, yet I still fuck up with every project and end up improvising along the way, which just causes me to lose time and spend days trying to figure out certain parts of the scene and how to place camera shots. That's why I can never do those "progression gifs" where you see how the scene changes during the production, because I never start with a defined camera shot.
Things are painful right now because of it, and I'll pull it off as always, but I'm sure I could have been already finished with the project a couple of months ago if I locked in the blockout from day 1.

I have solved this by getting really good at drawing all kinds of arrows ,, So I will be listening to music or something and have a shot in mind with the camera, exactly how I wish and the composition absolutely perfect- Then I can quickly sketch the scene and depict all of the information quickly and clearly in a notebook to have for when I do a second, more cohesive story board. This is not regimented as finely as I would like it to be, but I have seen the light by this method. It saves me from days worth of mudding around in the viewport, looking for the shot. My arrows are cool and I like the way they look and I can use them for camera motion, character motion, eases, stuff like that. This is really good now with the summer weather, as I can spend less time at my PC and more time outdoors

>Its easier to start another picture sometimes.
Literally my problem right now. I only went in with overall idea of what shots I'm gonna need, and I only defined a single, main shot early on - but not supporting ones that lead to the hero piece. And now I'm walking around the scene, capturing potential shots, but there is always something I dislike about it, or some assets are in a place I don't want them to be in. I had to build another small section of the scene just for a particular shot because of it. And I'll still have to add and remove certain lights and elements for every shot, but I guess that's how it is done for movies as well, it's not a game scene anyway.
>>826834
Yeah, this is exactly why I'm starting to get into concepting. I just need to find some good learning sources for a more abstract approach that will be just enough to git gud at painting more abstract shapes and do a quick texture paintover. Currently I'm mainly going through Drawabox lessons and challenges, but it is pretty technical and annoying at times and it is focused more on precise illustration. I mean, it is important as well, but I'd like to first git gud just at a particular thing that will help me as a 3D artist, if that is even possible.

Paid for a cgboost Blender sculpting course, and now I'm doing my first real sculpt without any tutorial accompanying it. For the first time, I'm starting to really feel like I'm going to make it. I'm still not very good and I need to get a lot more sculpts under my belt after this one, but I'm improving quickly and I'm proud of my progress.

Nice anon, keep refining it and keep going.
You have the neck as a differnet shape to the head and you've massively reduced the scale of the nose horn thing, try and match the perspective and get it 1:1 before continuing, the neck blends into the head on the reference and in general the head is much longer.
something to keep in mind about sculpting is because it's malleable digital clay you can bake big changes whenever, make your grab brush very large and start pulling it around.

Yeah I had just merged the head and body shapes, remeshed, and did a little smoothing before calling it quits for the night. There's a lot work left to be done on that interface there, and the gullet and shaping the upper neck in general.
You're right about the face-axe. I need to grow that before putting any more detail in. It's not big or long enough, and its angle needs work too. I wasn't a visual artist at all before getting into this, so I still need to get a better feel for basic perspective stuff. I am also way too ginger with my changes still. The big changes that I can make with the big brushes make me nervous, like I'm just going to fuck it up too quickly, but I do find that I make progress slower than I think I should.
By the way, is there any way of getting any sort of reasonable copy-and-paste or clone stamp behavior on sculpting? The interface between the skin and fins is going to look pretty similar for most of them, but it's going to be tedious to just do it by hand. I know you can duplicate the mesh, lasso trim it down to the spot, and then do some sort of shrinkwrap to get it, but that feels inconvenient given that I'm going to have to do it over a dozen times.

xtractor in zbrush is exactly that, blender doesn't have an equivalent sadly.
Finish off your sculpt in blender for now but start marking your calender for swapping to zbrush anon, it took me too long to make the jump myself.

ZBrush needs practice, even moving the camera won't feel right for a bit because it changes pivot depending on where you place the cursor down.
ZBrush is designed to be fast for pro users only, you need to reach a certain level of familiarity with the program to really reap the benefits of the way it controls

The bottom part of the image is too empty, that ground has a flat texture which just takes up too much space, I'd cut it out completely if you don't plan to build up midground and foreground. But I'm not a fan of this ultra zoomed-in shot which completely flattens out the image, I understand that you're trying to get everything in the frame, but I'd rather focus on a few nicely composed parts of the scene and make multiple screenshots instead. But then I also get it that if you get close, shots will looks empty because you didn't add enough secondary and tertiary details.
There's a lot of things you could do with textures, but you're probably learning and it will take time, so you might leave that for some future project, but I'll still mention it - textures should have specular variations and not look flat like a paper, everything would benefit with vertex painting and decals for damages, dirt etc. You don't have to make materials from scratch, but you should definitely find better texture sources - I always recommend Megascans. Just make an Epic account and download everything for free with their Bridge app.
That road e.g. would ideally be textured from multiple asphalt textures, combined with vertex painting, and then you could add some damages and repaired parts with decals. Maybe some tiny grass growing from certain parts of it etc. Ofc, it depends on how fucked up you want it to look, but even if's clean, it should have all of those tiny variations that would make it look more real.
In terms of lighting, it's a huge topic as well, but maybe you could try experimenting with golden hour lighting, that often makes things looks real nice easily. And don't make the shadows super sharp.

Im leaving skin texturing for post. It takes too long to paint a texture — meaning I work two jobs and have like 1-3 hours a day to work on illustrations and want them finished WAY MORE than striving for perfection. Have to fit it into a tight schedule sacrificing a lot. Maybe it will change when I'll make money from it, but atm its easier to render few shaders, and compose it in photoshop and paint over it with some colors.
I'm on a verge of fucking collapsing into autistic singularity with no support or understanding from anyone all my friend milionares and buisnessmen chilling their asses on islands while I sit here building up hemorroids sweating my skinny ass trying to break free from poverty cycle.
I know noone cares about nothing but the final image, don't even know why im spending time explaining my problems instead of working more.

Thanks for the response, I really appreciate it, I was trying to mimick this specific shot. As you can see the massive empty ground is there, but there are some details on it which I had no idea on how to do it, I thought about adding these shadows in but I couldn't figure out how to position objects correctly so their shadows show up like in the ref.
Texture wise I actually tried to make my own textures using stuff like noise and gradient maps, but they always look bland and artificial, I'll definitely look onto blending and decals too, I just don't know where too look but I'll figure it out.
Huge thanks for the golden hour thing, I feel like doing a night/slightly dark shot isn't really good practice since you can get away with a lot of stuff in darker areas, so I wanted to try doing a daylight render as I felt it would be great practice.
Again, thanks a lot for the feedback.

maybe reading a blog from 2009 about how teal and orange is used a lot on movie posters doesn't make you smart anon. Hell the current overused colour combo is purple and teal anyway (aka bisexual lighting), orange is gone.

I still see it everywhere, but yeah, that other combo is also gay as fuck. I just don’t like how so many people use it without thinking and some probably think that’s the only way to make something look good, serious, cinematic, or whatever the hell else. Movies (and all other visual media) don’t have to look like that, people should experiment more and at least try to come up with something personal and original in terms of colors. When I see artist exclusively use those palletes for years and for every project, no matter its theme, I just cringe.

I've noticed that if I turn the image I'm working on in B&W, sometimes it looks better / more realistic. However I'm not sure if that could mean that my light colors are possibly not ideal, or if it only looks better to me because it looks different from what I've been looking at for a long period of time.
Maybe somebody else knows what's up. But I think it's one of many things that might be useful to do while lighting the scene. If not anything else, then definitely to see if you're achieving enough contrast and focus on a hero piece in a shot.

Oh and one more thing - this is actually what I've been noticing in 3DCG - it seems to me that the more things you remove, while still making things believable, it somehow makes things look better because there are less things that could go wrong and immediately tell the viewer that they are looking at CG. I don't know if I'm correct about it though.
E.g. I've noticed some people increasing contrast OR making certain things in the picture so bright the details get lost. But it can happen in photography as well + you removed some percentage of image that could potentially look wrong while still keeping things believable. Same thing with those flashlight illuminated images, they can look really good because the contrast is strong and parts of CG get lost.
Again, I may be way off with this, but I think there's something to it if you do it tastefully.

Ok first of all you want to break the image down to a simple, straight construction you can easily remember.
The sihlouette and direction of straight lines are the most important thing, everything else is a detail. So you want to match an external contour of your model to the reference with a least amount of shapes and lines. Remove all unnecesary wiggles and dimples, work in really small size - 200-300 px on screen is more than enough. for this stage
Next thing you want to do is to identify the big masses an how they collide with each other. How eye mound is squished between the cheek bone, skull dome and snout. How jaw muscle is pushed under the dome, how lip droop is a separate shape from snout, etc.
Sometimes (or almost always always for a lot of stylized artists) you just start modeling with SEPARATE geometric shapes for simple changes and put them together to see how they collide. And then remesh them in one mass for the details when you're ready.

Same.
I've been working on the same project for like 4 months already.
If I really bothered, I could finish it in about a week, but at this point, I'd rather just start over.
I find that that sort of thing happens when you're working on a project, and it's not quite coming together as you'd hope, given how much time you put into it.
Sometimes I'll have a concept that I really love, and I can't help but work on it from start to finish because it all comes together just right, but others I'll have a concept that I love, but have to slog through to the end because it's just not lining up with what I had envisioned.
I've noticed that the projects that go well are the ones where I draw out the concept on paper beforehand, and the ones that don't go well tend to be the ones I go off of what I remember in my head.
Moral of the story, always have a thumbnail sketch for any project you work on. It'll keep the idea fresh and clear 3 days down the line or 3 months down the line, and will give you a goal to keep striding towards.

The composition of the scene looks nice, the props (the chains, the blindfold) aren't bad too.
The woman however, looks pretty strange.
Her face/head is strange.
The chin is too thick.
The arms are too thin.
The hair looks like a giant poo.
I'd say you should rework the model of the lady. Maybe try a different approach, like sculpt with an A pose and rig it to this pose.
Ditch that material, it looks pretty bad and it makes your model look worse than the non-colored version
The wings on the first picture also look better.

Not sure, but a good way to figure it out is to disable all of the lighting except that emissive one and see what happens then. Also try to move it around and see how it affects the ligthing. Maybe something else is illuminating that right side of the wall as well. But also it could be a bounce light from something. Idk what renderer is this, so it might be just be shitty at rendering things like this.

Yeah I've tried that, it's definitely the neon sign that's lighting it. Maybe I'll have to play with positioning, I'll look into bounce lights though, could be something strange with the face on the opposite side of the wall and how its angled.
The renderer is Blender's eevee. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the culprit, but I really don't enjoy working in cycles. I've got one large Irradiance Volume covering what's visible.

Look at real world teeth (both human and animal). They have specific shapes based on their role and function. For example predators have special flat meat grinding molars, sharp pronounced canines for gripping.
Conversely, ruminants lack upper incisor teeth; giraffes have no front teeth, etc.
Since your thing is probably meant to have both human and animal characteristics, you can make choices about the teeth that are meant to reflect decisions about the character. It's something that shows up in cartoons, like when a character suddenly has fangs while angry yet in one scene yet has square human-like teeth when in a scene in which they're being genial.

I think the forearms are the weakest part but I'm not sure at this point anymore. I also think the feet and hands look a bit weird in terms of size. I keep switching references (models, real people, drawings) that I can't look at it objectively anymore.

i think the lower end of the tricep (where it attaches to the elbow) looks weird
also quads lack definition compared to rest of body
and there should be less space inbetween the toes
im not good at anatomy so take this with a grain of salt

Joint (elbow, wrist, ankle, knee) look fucky. Forearms are to long vs upper arms. Torso looks pretty good, but you smoothed the front way too much.

I'd give other people feedback but I don't know very little so it wouldn't be worth much.

>i think the lower end of the tricep (where it attaches to the elbow) looks weird
The middle tendon? Yeah I'm not super thrilled about the tricep. Every body reference online I see seems to have a different looking one so I'm a bit lost here. Feet are some old thing I made in Blender a while back and imported, they're getting a look through definitely.
>>830087
>Joint (elbow, wrist, ankle, knee) look fucky
In what way do you mean? Shape, size? As I mentioned the feet are not something I spent a lot of time on so I get them. As for the forearms I remember thinking they were too short lmao. What's your opinion on the size of the hands?
>Torso looks pretty good, but you smoothed the front way too much
I thought I was being smart by removing detail to mimic fat deposits. You think I should define the abs more or serratus?

Comparing length proportions with another dude's model as best I can I realized that both the upper arm and the forearm are a bit short. Changing it right now.

i finally got around to finishing this piece of shit. had a bit of an burnout at one point but here we are :). it was a mistake going from a soda can to a car, and i had to redo a lot of shit because midway modeling something, i realized the topology or edgle flow was fucked and it still is, so i deleted a lot of shit and redid it. i'll probably redo the windows and the back at somepoint, but i have to move on before i get an proper burnout

I think your arms are a bit short and your shoulders a bit narrow. Not trying to snipe but I think it's a bit strange how muscular the torso is compared to everything else. How come you're modelling the arms so close to the body and the fingers/toes so close to each other?
>try to focus your attetntion on shapes
You mention this in regards to what body parts?

Also, think on the muscle groups in the legs.
For example: where are the quadriceps? Where are they anchored? What's the general shape they make? Same for the hamstrings

When modeling a basemesh or anatomical thing it's better to do it in the "A" pose weather than arms straight down. That's how you avoid the merging of arms and body which now makes the model impossible to rig and animate.
Other than that, looking good on the torso anatomy.

Btw, is this in UE5? Those soft shadows give me the vibes of it. Lighting with Lumen is just godlike already, and it is still early access. First time I set up my current WIP scene with it, I just ran around in play mode, being amazed how cool those soft shadows are under the player.
>tfw all those hours of time wasted on learning technical bullshit to be able to work with lightmass and dynamic light, so many hacks to keep in mind.
All gone with the wind. I made the right choice to just give up trying to get better with light baking a while ago. I knew it would be pointless in the near future. And I know not every project will probably be able to work with Lumen and lighting will still be baked, but I personally don't care because I'm not a lighting artist anyway, and don't want to deal with that bullshit ever again.

I did another character's head for more practice, then came back and tried again with the topology of this one. Is this any better? I tried to do less detail this time. Also, before I start working on the mouth, I wanted to know if any of these edge loops (or anything else) are going to make animating it problematic.

Is it better to have the lips on the same edge loop like that? I figured on a muzzle the top lip hangs over the bottom so it might not be, but I am pretty retarded.

Lips should generally be on the same loop. You can shape the mouth corners however you need, so that’s still a thing in your case, just make the loop follow the shape of the sculpt.

Tried a walk cycle today. First it was all interpolated, and it looked nice. Then I removed the interpolation from everything but the hair, and it looked nice in a different way. ...But it also got slightly janky because I was rendering in 15fps (Final Fantasy 7/8/9 battle framerate), and an odd framerate doesn't seem great for a short, looping, uninterpolated animation because you can't evenly space the keyframes.
Still, I think it looks ok? Maybe I'll bitch out and go back to interpolating everything. Who knows.

Yes monday is gonna be a disaster but whatever, noone cares, its all in your head and how you take it.
Sculpt is nice and realistic, one of the best works I see here. But I think it can be improved a bit, not talking about sihloettes and dynamics, just basic anatomy.
Did you try putting an actual scapula geometry underneath and maybe some clavicle to connect the AC joint properly? Try and put in a simple humerus joint into the elbow to have an anchor for your muscles and stop confusing soft and hard tissue. It takes like an hour to make some simple bony parts to use across your models. Good thing bones are always the same.
Looks like your lats, tris and teres major merged into one. Infraspinatus too huge and prominent compared to the rear deltoid. Mind rear deltoid transfroming into flat tendonous sheet over the scapula, it doesn't have that much volume there.
I can offer you a nice Scott Eaton "Bodies in motion" reference, hope you know what to do with it. Sometimes it takes more time to find a good reference to work from than to sculpt it.
Good luck, mate, you have to put like 100-200 hours of focused work to make it up to decent industry standard if you want to progress and not just mess with polygons. Totally doable and within your reach.
