I made some changes that anons suggested (torso, ankles, wrists, knees and arm proportions). I still think the forearms are the weakest part and I can't figure out why. They look ill defined. I remade them multiple times and haven't gotten something I liked yet.

What do you guys think I need to work on?

agree, i'm not 100% sure how to fix it.

my cpu is a potato and vellum's behaviour is dependent on mesh resolution + substeps so trying out different values is a bit tedious. i think i saw a talk by some russian dude who'd worked out a way to get consistent result (some way to measure quad size so it's 1 quad per 3/4mm) and that's probably the way to go.

i'm going try and implement force direction first since i can prototype it in lo-res (basically force along the normal direction scaled by the same attribute i'm using to drive restlength). then i can spend a weekend just tweaking parameters.

it looks like shes running on her heels -- her feet never really make contact
also you could probably tone down the side to side motion of the arms since it kind of looks like she's intentionally shoving her gun left and right
other than that its a good start i feel, shows off her assets

I didn't see a beginner's thread so I hope it's ok to ask here- this is the first model i've ever worked on without following a tutorial. I know I suck and am probably over-complicating things, but at what point should I start over from scratch? I feel like this could be salvageable if I just try and finish this and then I can practice retopology and lower the amount of verts and triangles? Or is it just easier to start over and work harder on reducing it as I'm going along? I get the feeling that 4500 triangles is retarded for a guitar that isn't even finished yet...

It is perfectly fine, keep going. Don't worry about tri counts so much at this point, and after all, tri counts have gotten quite big these days anyway. Tri counts depend on how you're gonna use and see the model, i.e. from which distance. You always want to make sure there is no visible faceting, make everything nice and round. This looks like a nice blockout.

Also, you don't need to necessarily "retopo" these kinds of assets, you would usually start with a high-poly version and use bevel and / or subsurface modifiers, and then when you need to make a low poly version, you basically only need to remove the modifier and remove some extra supporting loops if you added them to help with the sub-d. Then bring into software of choice for baking, like Substance Painter or Marmoset Toolbag.

You could also go with the mid-poly approach, where tri counts would be even bigger, and use a single bevel (with the modifier), together with the weighted normal modifier. Then you don't need to deal with HP, LP and baking. But that's more for some specific cases with larger assets, so in this case just do it """properly""" and make a HP and LP, and then bake.

The (intentional) lack of shadows makes things look floaty like that, but I've tried to make the feet contact the ground a little more clearly.

im gonna be honest i dont really see a difference
i think the biggest part is that the frame where the foot makes contact with the the ground -- you have the foot bent upwards, making it look like the foot is making contact only with the heel
running is a contact, slide, lift, repeat kind of motion
this is more of a contact, slip, repeat

How the FUCK are so many people still satisfied with recreating a concept art after concept art, without an ounce of personal creative twist, AFTER they already achieved steady jobs and a decent amount of works in a portfolio that show off all the technical knowledge. How do you even get any satisfaction from that? I assume it's probably more of a technical than creative satisfaction, and given that most of 3D artists are just technical workers that happen to work with pretty pictures, that would explain it.

I can't comprehend that mindset of a production artist, maybe it's because I haven't been in it for too long. I always create 100% personal artworks, even if it's for a portfolio, because otherwise I'd get sick of everything if I had to just copy like a monkey. Doing that at work is more than enough.

A slight bend in the elbow won't cause you problems. A twist will probably need to be corrected later if you want to be able to retarget stock animations.

Sculpting a rock because I need a few in my scene and I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I just kept placeholder Megascans ones for a final render. It hurts so much to see all those hours probably wasted... Honestly, I can't even tell if it's going in a good direction, I find it super hard to sculpt a rock I'm satisfied with. Going back and forth quite a lot while doing it. I've been watching some god-tier tutorials from a dude from Sony Santa Monica and I guess it pretty much just gets better with time. He is making shapes effortlessly and making right choices with every brush stroke.

Yeah, I guess. I tried it with some matcaps and cavities / shadows in Blender and it actually doesn't look that bad. I just have to finish it. As I said, I kinda can't tell if it will end up looking good or not. I noticed that problem with foliage as well.

I've seen some good looking rocks straight from Zbrush, but then also some from AAA games that actually don't look super amazing by themselves - by they still ended up looking nice with textures in a game environment.

yeah just depends on how heavily you lean on designer, I think you have enough raw detail in the noise on your rock just to do some basic painter stuff and be very much out of the woods.

lack of contrast between skirt and panties hurts the composition imo. Any chance you can change the color of the panties or give them some trim to stand out against the skirt?

After months of studying realistic female figures, it's time I take the 3d anime waifu pill. One day I want to make my own 3d anime coomer figurines like lesLyzerosix or 流星丸(Doomlord AhYo).

This is only a rough sketch. No references. As you can see the results of my grinding anatomy and watching 3d hentai has paid off. Get on my level faggots.

Ugh... Look. You need to suck more. I'm serious. If you're unwilling to learn to draw, set a timer on your phone for 10 minutes, then sculpt a character in that time. It'll be shite. Revert to sphere and make more shite. Revert to sphere, repeat. None of this shit is going on social media. You're not even saving it. Just make a trash sculpt and revert to sphere.

Discard whatever these youtube retards tell you about "getting your proportions right" and "make sure you get your basic shapes in". You'll still be here in 7 years. Getting it right is not your goal. Your goal is to get it wrong so fucking often that your autistic shit brain maps all the ways to do it wrong and creates a mask that only leaves what's right.

Give it three weeks and you'll sculpt that thing in 20 minutes.

This dude is almost correct about everything. Make a strict deadline and it will make you focus on important things. But this method has a downside - you need to think hard and make descisions, a lot. Thats why a lot of people spread progress over the years. Its really hard to do a focused push on a target and not just move stuff around a bit and hope it will somehow solve itself by random chance.

I've practised sculpting quite a bit now. I think I've learned much about human faces, but there's still so long to go. I managed to create pic related in maybe 5 hours from scratch. She looks human, but unfotunately not a very attractive one. The problem is that I don't really know what I'm supposed to change to make her attractive. I wonder if that's something I'll learn if I just keep sculpting again and again.

yep then move the camera backwards and zoom in for more telephoto compression, this will give you a way better impression of scale because right now your model doesn't look big or imposing, the perspective is very compressed on the concept.

The rightmost one, but it needs to be lower to the ground, a lot lower.
>>833477
This is also true.

You might also want to cheat the perspective a bit for some extra "oomph" to your scene, and employ some forced-perspective tricks like they do at theme parks.
Like squeezing-in the top of the structure more so it seems a bit more foreboding.
So instead of the structure looking like this |_| where lines are parallel and perspective-correct, you morph it a bit to look like this /_\ (excusing the shitty emoticon example).

Neato. I think there should be more of a "cascade" of them plugging in instead of in weird different waves.
So it eases in with a few, takes a slight pause, and starts to plug in a bunch, rapid-fire individually instead of in chunks.

It wasn't supposed to be so dark, but I couldn't get the lighting right. And I only added the flag (that's what it's supposed to be, even though it looks more like paper) because I fucked the texture on the side of the crate and wanted to hide it, but then it didn't really matter anyway because you can't fucking see anything.
I added some cobwebs to make it look old, like it had been abandoned for years, but you can't see those either.

I did subdivide the flag, just not enough times. Normally when I've fucked around with cloths before I subdivide them too much, but this time I did it too little. I'll do it more though to try and fix it.
>Also whats wrong with the texture on the side of the crate?
It got all fucked up because I punched two holes through it for the rope (which also turned out to be pointless). So it looked all stretched, but the other parts of it didn't. I tried multiple ways to unfuck it, but nothing would work so I just hid it. Pic related is how it looked.

>>834565
I had planned on putting a skeleton in there wearing an SS uniform, but then I accepted I was getting far too cocky. So I settled for a skull with an SS cap, but I couldn't texture the SS cap properly so I fucked that off too.
I even realised that the skull looked out of place, but I wanted it to feel like it had been abandoned for a long time and I didn't really know what else gives that impression, and like I said I got too cocky so I ended up leaving it in.

I didn't think about that. Truth be told you couldn't even tell it was stretched unless you looked really closely. It's just, because I'm learning as I go, whenever I come across something that seems trivial, I try to find out how to fix it there and then just in case it, or something like it, comes up again in the future.
>To be honest i think the flag being there makes it flow a bit better so maybe pointless
I guess I'll leave the flag there, it gives a little colour to the scene too. I'll just subdivide it a bunch more times so it looks more like a flag material and try to fix the lighting.
Thanks. I appreciate it.

I've barely touched the scenery yet, but you're probably right so I'll keep that in mind.

Now she takes cover after scanning the room, then adjusts her stance once she's in position. The adjust was necessary because I did straight ahead animation for the traversal to the corner, and didn't get her tucked in as tight as she could have been, so I had to have her fix it. On the whole, I think this might look better than if I hadn't fucked up.

Happy accidents, I guess.

I'd expect the gold bars to have a thick film of dust on top of them if they were abandoned for so long. The flag definitely needs a lot more polygons and hopefully some sort of physics simulation to make it rest in a more natural way, its very stiff at the moment.
The floor texture looks to be much lower resolution that the other assets, so it stands out. Also its clear you're using tessellation for the bumps on the floor, which is kind of good for smaller scale details and realtime rendering like in video games, not for large stones in the ground, I would recommend sculpting the floor instead, its really shouldn't be too hard if you can get hold of some decent brushes, they do most of the work for you.
It's hard to tell what the object on the right crate is, mostly due to very dim lighting, which should be the first thing to fix - crank it up a notch so we can see what is actually happening in there.
Overall it's looking okay, cool to see anons working on full scenes, keep working on it and keep us updated.

Idk if this is normal, but I spent a week tweaking a small diorama environment, i.e. I literally only worked on the placement of the assets, and I still haven't finished it. I thought level art is one of the areas I'm pretty good at, but this project makes me question my skills after all... Nothing seems to work. The problem is that I kinda can't find a lot of references to handhold me because the area is somewhat unnatural in the first place.

I really really really need to up my drawing skills so I can efficiently paint over a blockout. Atm suck at it and just have to do it in 3D, which is incredibly slow by itself. So I pretty much have to build everything up from what I see in my mind, only to realize it doesn't work, then delete everything and try again.

Thanks for reading my blogpost.

That's fair, other anons have said similar things. They're the oldest thing about the sculpt and I made them before I had a tablet. What do you think is the wonky thing about the feet/toes? People said they're too spaced out, but I don't know how to bring them closer together without Dynamesh (which I'll probably have to use to fix some creases, or just remake them outright) fusing them together or without Zremesher doing the same when I try to make lower subdivisions.

>I'd expect the gold bars to have a thick film of dust on top of them if they were abandoned for so long
My thought with the gold was that the crate had just been opened and that's why it looked more pristine rather than grimy. I meant to include a crowbar to give that impression, but I totally forgot.
I did want to add some heavy dust on the crates and dirty up the flag too (the flag looks really brand new and vibrant when the light isn't so dark), but I didn't know how so I just left it.
>The flag definitely needs a lot more polygons and hopefully some sort of physics simulation to make it rest in a more natural way, its very stiff at the moment
That was my own fault really. I had used the physics to get it to lie more naturally, but the handle of the crate was poking through it a little, so I ended up dragging the flag to the left slightly once it was already laying there. But that made the the flag look even more rigid because it didn't have enough polygons to start with. It should be an easy fix though.
>The floor texture looks to be much lower resolution that the other assets, so it stands out
Honestly I'm not sure what size they are, I think they're 1024 x 512 so definitely not ideal. I don't even know what tessellation is, I just used a bump node(?) and the height or normals image(?) ;_;
Sculpting a floor would be way beyond me, even with brushes. I tried sculpting once and it seems incredibly difficult with a mouse. I think I just need to watch some videos on how to do it though.

I'll fix my lighting and rejigger the flag later tonight and see if that improves it any.
Thanks for your feedback, I do appreciate it.

They just want people to buy their nonexistent RTX cards from scalpers.
Theres nothing about RTX that makes it possible, the shit ran in a fucking browser before.

Comfy. I wish the path didn't dead end and instead went into a narrow canyon. Are the grass n moss scans?

>>835429
Fireflies bigger, + drift on the building is too subtle right now. Wasn't sure it was moving till it looped around.

Thx. The path is leading from shore into the cave, not sure if it is clear enough. Moss and grass were my own sculpted + painted textures.

ah i thought it was some sort of sea cave because i couldn't see the mouth of the cave. probably just how the camera's placed.

i like the miniature feel of the materials.

Jesus haha, yeah, I was having a bad day. I sometimes get hyper focused on certain details and go back and forth for days. I'm still not a fan of lighting and color saturation, I was balancing a more dramatic approach and a sunnier one. Thematically this should be a mysterious scene, but more contrast in light and shadows causes some pretty dark areas in foliage which I don't like. On the other hand, I like the look of a brighter and flatter lighting because it almost looks like it was lit in a studio, which would also make sense considering this is supposed to be a miniature scene placed inside of some sort of a cabinet, under warm interior lights. The current pic is somewhere in the middle, which might not hit either of those feels correctly.

But yeah, it's a small beach leading to a cave, here's one more wip shot showcasing it better.

you're doing good, mang.
just trust yourself to make the right call in the end
(knowing that you'll second guess everything along the way).

Followed your suggestions and increased the size of the fireflies and made the movement more prominent.
Also trying to make the lighting look more dramatic and add more contrast

Here's my newest scratch build after a few weeks of intermittent practice. I'm glad I posted my first shit renders here, since that allows me to see that I'm actually getting better. There's obviously still light years to go, but I've already learned so much. I can now do in fifteen minutes what took me an hour before.

That's a pretty good improvement. It would look even better with better lighting and proper textures but you're getting there.

Thanks. Yes, I need to look into texturing and lighting. So far I've only used vertex painting for colours and a bunch of light bulbs around the head for lighting. I definitely do need to learn more than that about these things.

yea, the main model still needs to be UVed and textured, and i also need to make the background buildings and texture them.
That's a great reference for the walls, ill try making something similar

thats a fucking awesome improvement dude, keep learning at this current pace and you will get a lot better

feet looks good
yo need to work on where the meshes intersect to get rid of the obvious seams and improve the head.
this is a good start, you just need to put more hours into refining this and look at reference of similar models

I sculpted a hand. It was surprisingly difficult. I do have two good references readily available, but hands deform surprisingly much depending on how you pose them.

I sculpted her a body and tailored her a simple dress. Maybe I should try animating or texturing her next. I might also have to study anatomy a bit, since it turns out to be a complex subject too. Or maybe I'll move on for now and try to learn how to build something like this: >>836533 Would be nice to be able to create scenes to eventually put my characters in.

Holy hell it was a painful process to get even this far. I had to watch too many tutorials, and the process itself wasn't too pleasant either. Remeshing, baking normals, placing bones is all tedious. And afterwards every finger and limb dares to deform horribly out of shape. At least I know the process now, so it'll be easier next time.
