It's a running /wip/ gag.
Like the version before it where we'd put projects/posts from the previous /wip/ in the new OP.

>>837692
Is right.

I've got the original wip image, since it's easier to push that version than the previous fucked version. But I figured I'd play the gag to its inevitable completion. Which we've reached. Congrats anons.
It was always about fucking it up more and more until it's essentially just the bare minimum to be recognized as /wip/. I could push it more, but I won't.
Now I gotta figure out another gag. Maybe I'll leave it alone for a bit.

>But that takes effort
That wasn't really the problem, the real problem was that the wip threads started having less actual projects, and more shit flinging.
A thread would fill up with needless arguments, and you'd only actually have maybe 5 projects in the thread, with maybe 3 of them usable in the image. Things really went downhill, and I kind of got fed up with /3/. But you can't ever really leave. Someone else started the deep-fried thing and left, so I picked back up where he left off.

It's not too hard to put them into the wip. I used to have a version where I had layers and stuff separated out, so I could put things in the tunnels, behind the hill, behind the various fences and rocks, and spots for the puddles. It made putting things in pretty easy, since I could just magic select the projects (most of the time), and slap em in.
But I had a HDD fail and now it's locked in limbo. I could do a recovery, but I have a lot of "questionable" images left over from my time as a teenager, and I'd rather not ride the party van.

But yeah, I'll see about putting the projects in the wip. Might be fun to carry them over from wip to wip so the collage slowly starts to encompass the whole environment with each thread.

I have been working on this fatman the clothes are just blocked out but I would like to make them in another software. The device on his arm is also blocked out and made in blender in the second image, lots more detail to add such as wires and screen to put a UI I have to make, I have also been working on the gun in his holster in blender although not quite happy with the current design. I'm working on getting this guy into an engine so ill post the final with cloth simulation and various animations and maybe him firing his pistol.

It's like 90% of external addons are completely janky and feel hacked together.
Which kind of pisses me off when Blender devs say they won't officially implement the more popular ones because they don't want to take food from addon dev's mouths.
Fuck them and give me a proper implementation. The addon is just a proof of concept.

There's a few addons that I use, but in extremely niche circumstances.

it has a very 2000s promotional videogame render quality to it.

I think you need to try harder on the fur, it doesn't have enough directionality or effect on the albedo, the noise is not working for me you need to stencil some actual fur texture onto it.

The simple nature of the materials themselves in terms of roughness and metalness on the clothes is also giving it some of that old look.

>ngmi?

Nah you can make it you just need to follow a few painter tutorials on putting together convincing materials and such, producing good cloth folds and sculpting is also something that just gets better with time and practice.

There's a free shell shader for unity you could experiment with https://github.com/Sorumi/UnityFurShader (I'm an unreal babby sorry I only use unity when I need to).

and this is what I mean by stencil painting

https://www.artstation.com/artwork/3m9qD

obviously this is slightly more of a realistic approach than what you want but I think getting a bit more information and directionality into the fur will help, add that with a little thickness from the shell and I think it'd work ok.

I've been posting before, but I just don't feel like posting my work inbetween these kinds of images anymore. I noticed that is the case with almost anybody good enough, they just eventually get a job or realize it's not worth it when there are so many other places to share work. At that point you kinda don't want for anybody in the industry to reverse search your posts on 4chan. And it is really easy to find someone based on the work they post here, because I see their work in Discord communities under their real names, on ArtStation, Polycount etc.

I still sometimes post my work when it is in early stages, because I still do like the concept of complete anonymity and there are still some decent people here, I always get good feedback and support. But it has been too much these last months, maybe schizos and other degenerates will get washed away again.

Got some questions about modeling farmer #1. I managed to make the pants connect with his under-shirt, and I am stuck on whether or not his overalls should be the same. Would it be better if his overall was attached to the undershirt? should it just be floating above the shirt mesh? I have no experience with animation or rigging so I don't know which would be the better option. I plan on making most of the model sub-dividable so it can be used for both animation and videogames.

the width of the head and the jaw were too small at first making the head weirdly thin, so i think i overdid it by pulling it out. it's surely on the bucket list of possible fixes but i can't figure out something that doesn't look somehow worse.
the hair is supposed to be floating backwards so it would involve a more meticulous and tedious work to get there so i just slapped a sphere in there and worked out the basic shape so that i could visualize it.

The previous character I made wasn't a fan.

>>838356
I've made three characters now, so I'm by no means an expert. The first one was just vertex editing, and it didn't have much detail. pic related is the second one. I sculpted her in parts and then retopologised her by extruding vertices over her skin until I had something that looked a bit like yours. Then I subdivided and shrinkwrapped it and I later even added some extra geometry where the rig deformed her horribly, like collar bones and elbows. Altogether it came at 10870 vertices. Then I uv-unwrap it and bake normals, and this is what I get.

But seriously, if you retopo'd this, it would easily match Skyrim's quality level. It looks official, anon (although the arms are still a little too human looking). Post it on /tesg/. Lizards are the flavor of the month right now.

If you want to avoid clipping, you should only have a single layer pretty much everywhere where possible. So no actual body under the shirt, and no undershirt under the outermost shirt either. The more layers you have, the more issues you will have with clipping, and you will have to spend lots of of time with the most tedious process of all, weight painting.

I didn't feel like doing much anything today, so I just made her transition. It was quite fun. With female faces, it feels like every minuscule detail is important, and it's trivial to make her look like shit. With male faces, I can just do whatever, and he'll look like a man.

pic related helped me a great deal with understanding facial planes and the main archetypal differences between the sexes.
i like the nose, the planes read sort of well but everything else feels off. the eyes are too big for this apparently semi-realistic style you're going for and there's too little detail on the lower eyelid/upper cheekbone area, the lower eyelid goes inward into the face and is contrasted by the cheekbone going out creating a soft crease, yours is flat all the way.
the eye hood also has weak form and ends too soon and too abruptly.

I edited his eyes a bit just for fun. Maybe he looks a bit better now. I'll probably trash this character anyway, though, since he's just a quick edit of the girl, and I actually want to finish her.

Looks good. Making everything connected makes it easier to animate him for sure. Rig him and try for yourself. If the clothes are separate, you'll probably see clipping. When they're connected, it'll probably work quite nicely with just automatic weights.

the definition of the eyelids is definitely better but the eye hood is still weak and the eyelids seem to wrap around the eyes near the end leaving the very corner of the eyeball exposed, which doesn't happen, if he were to scratch the corner of his eyes he'd poke his eyeball.
the eyelids taper toward each other with the upper one slightly on top in some people the eye hood(the fat pad above the eye) will cover most of the upper eyelid and even completely cover the very end, these mistakes just seem to originate from lack of anatomical knowledge and not necessarily lack of experience in 3d.

Rigging is pretty fucked in terms of available knowledge. Even the paid courses don't really get you all the answers. You kinda have to figure things out when you have the basic understanding of how things work.
If you have absolutely no idea what you're doing, I recommend looking at these yt channels: Royal Skies, Dikko, AntCGI. For a more structured learning, Art of Effective Rigging, Rigging for Games from CGMA, and Creature Rigging for Production from Gnomon are really good courses, so if that's more your thing check the CGPeers request thread.

I'm really not sure. I think it's technically more realistic to have them as a single mesh. My concern is that when you're working with separate objects using subdivision surface modelling, if your edges don't line up, you can end up with weird gaps. Pic related. The green and blue objects are identical, but the green one as an extra edge. Whereas if they were one object, that gap couldn't occur. Maybe I'm just retarded, though. Is there an easy fix for something like that?

You're correct on both counts. The arms are literal 2 second fix, but I'm leaving them as they are until I start posing this thing, because it's a segmented mesh and I'll end up sinking them futher into eachother anyway.

The knee joints are in the right place - it's the kneepads that are drawn low on the texture. This was a question of 'how do I give a segmented limb a kneepad when it's going to split in half every time the knee bends?
They looked better below the knee than correctly on it, and above the knee looked exceptionally silly. I may yet go for some modeled knee pads, or...

Tekken's King solves the knee/elbow pad texture problem by having them be completely black so that the split can't be seen.

I don't care about likes and views except in a way they help me get better reach and potential job offers since I'm a freelancer, but damn, did I get hit in a face with the recent project. Spent almost 3 months on it, last week was spent on a really detailed breakdown, and I barely passed 100 views in the first day on ArtStation. Idk if algorithms changed, but it's really surprising. Feedback has been amazing from various communities all this time, and it is still getting lots of likes in some places, but on ArtStation, which is the most important to me, it's pretty much dead. I'm not sure if it could even reach trending anymore, even if it gets a sudden boost in a few days.

Anyway, just want to say that high quality definitely isn't enough and you most likely won't get noticed without good social media following. I don't have any, unfortunately. At least now I have a proof I was just lucky in the past when I did get a few huge hits with some previous projects.

I spent a year animating a 3 minute music video, and around 2 months rendering it at 4k where I basically couldn't touch my computer, only for it to completely fall under the radar on shitty sites like Reddit and Instagram.
I mean it was a commission, so I got paid and all that which is what counts, but I was really putting a lot of work and passion into it, and going above and beyond to make it the best it could possibly be.
I think I got something like 10 upvotes on Reddit in a community where people often enjoy my work, and like 140 plays on Insta.
Meanwhile I can post a trash project that I spent all of an hour making on one of those places and it blows the fuck up.
I know Reddit and other places are shitty, but you have to play the game to get noticed and to eat.

I figured 3 mins was too long for most people, so I even threw together a 10-15s teaser for the people that act like they're 5 y/o and can't look at something for more than a few seconds before they get ancy, still fell flat.

Moral of the story, don't put more work into something thinking it'll pay off, because you're always going to be disappointed by the results.
Instead, do quick and shitty work that you have no hopes for, and be both pleasantly surprised and dumbfounded at the warm reception it has.
Don't make art for others, make it for yourself, and let others enjoy what you do.

ArtStation views don't mean shit. It's unsurprising for things to go unnoticed there because everything on that site that's trending or popular is ALREADY from an artist who got popular during the earlier more simple artstation days. These days, artstation is swamped with lots more hobbyists and students— good work is always going to fall through the cracks, and the sheer amount of thumbnails of shit sometimes masks out the gems.

Here ya go.
I posted in-progress stuff for it in these threads a while back, so you guys helped some with your input. I don't care too much about my work being on here, since I started out here anyway.

There's a few changes I'd probably do, notably making the whole section in "hyperspace" a bit shorter, but that was kind of a left over from when it was just a lyric video and not much else. I kind of pushed for going a bit more crazy with things with the solo section and the part after.
I think when people watch it, they probably can't sit through the slightly long wormhole section, click off thinking that's all there is, and miss out on the bits I really had fun with.

Pls be gentle anons, this was my first time making something this long, and I had to make a few compromises, as well as keep the client's input in mind.
I can't do much about the music either, so if it's not your thing it's just not your thing. I also know the whole "synthwave/retro" style isn't for everyone either, but that's kind of what I got known for, and I can't really separate myself from it now.

Now that I've hopefully tempered expectations, I hope you like it at least.

Music vid anon here. If you can believe it, my Insta following is abysmally low (reaching 800 at the end of this month), and my only "high" SM is DeviantArt, with around 6k. I don't interact or do anything with DA though, so a following of 6,000 furries don't mean much to me or for me in the way of commissions. Even then, I think I just get follows on there because DA's email verification email uses my art as the banner and points new users to me.

I started out really small though, I used to make wallpapers for people on /wg/, then used to promote myself to small musicians and did album art for free so it was good promotions for both, then I started slowly taking commissions.
I started super small with the prices, $20 or so for something, since I was just happy to get anything for my work, but as I got better I started charging more. I'm still underselling myself, but I have enough people coming to me to offset things, and I have side income selling the art I make.

It's important to note that the whole time I was doing all that, I was building (or at least trying to) a presence on social media. Posting absolutely everyhing on Insta, reddit, tumblr, DA, you fucking name it. I've got a god damn Dribble account.
I was lucky enough that one of my works happened to be lightning in a bottle for some reason completely unknown to me. Plot twist, it was one of those projects that took all of an hour to make. But that got me a boost in notoriety where I see it almost anywhere and I can say it's mine.

Now I just keep doing personal projects when I can so I can try to keep a consistent post schedule (which is what's important). Though most of the time I'm doing client work, since I have a few that come to me consistently and pay well. So I don't get to post too often, since they don't want them up.

Basically though, just find a niche, stick to it and people will come to you if you do good work. gl anon.

I should also mention, that the best way to get followers on IG is to have a consistent post schedule. Just post as often as you can, and the algorithm, and bots, will take care of the rest. Back when I was starting out, I tried to post at least 3 times a week if I could. Even if that meant posting work in progress shots to show that I'm working on something. I could always delete it later to keep things clean.
Once you start posting, you'll get a bunch of bots that follow and like your shit, and they tend to disappear after a week, but the likes and follows still count as interactions, so it's still good for the algorithm.

It's also a good idea to use as many relevant tags as you can, which should be obvious. I don't really search too much on Insta, and I only really follow artists that I find browsing the web, so I don't know how well stuff shows up on the search or if people actually use it, but looking at my stats at least half of people coming to posts are from tags, so that's a big factor.

Speaking of stats, try to leverage them when posting. There's a way you can see peak times for people looking at your content (mine is around 3pm), so it's good to post around an hour to half an hour before that, so your stuff is near the top of their feed. Posting AT the peak time isn't so great, since they're probably already scrolling down so they'll miss your stuff.

Lastly is something that I've been experimenting with, but try to post your stuff with a 4:5 ratio (I use 1080x1350), that ratio seems to cover the largest surface area on mobile, so people are more likely to get a bigger look at your stuff compared to if it was 16:9 and tiny when looking at a vertical feed.

It's all small stuff, but it tends to add up if you can keep doing it.
But to tell the truth, I fucking hate social media and having to know all this. I just want to make art, not be some faggot that panders to computer algorithms to fucking eat.

But yeah, hope these help!

I guess posting frequency is where I fuck up. I do post mostly WIP stuff, but I have to work as well, so sometimes I post twice a month, because I don’t see the point of posting some tiny update. I’ll try ramping that up and see what happens.
You say 800 is tiny, but I don’t even know how to get a 100.

Anonymous No. 839265

>>839257
Posting frequency is definitely the biggest one to focus on. I'm kind of the same way now, where I'd rather put out a full project rather than some small little update or something, because I feel like it's a waste of people's time if it's not something meaningful. Even though I realize the irony of that considering Instagram is so shallow.

800 is a bit more than 100, for sure, but when I've been stuck around there for about a year or so then it's not as great a number considering it's not grown all that much.
That's mainly my fault though, because I've been taking so many projects to try and make ends meet, I don't get a lot of time to work on personal stuff to put up. A lot of times, the stuff I do for people, they don't want it posted because they're afraid of others taking it and using it for their own, or it's just something that doesn't fit all that well for my audience.
So I have a year or so worth of work that can't really post for one reason or another, but no time or drive to work on personal projects either because of back to back clients or burnout, so my account has been stagnating.

I could do a bunch of tiny 1-2hr projects, but I feel like the quality would suffer, which I think would be worse than just not posting. Which spirals back into the whole thing of "put a bunch of time and effort into a project" only for it to not have as good a reception than I had hoped.

Just keep at it anon. You'll get there. A lot of the early game is interacting with people and "salt of the earth" type of shit before your accounts start growing organically. Set small goals, celebrate milestones, interact with your following, and play the game of social media.

This is the reason why I'm not willing to pursue indie game dev. I already felt it in my small uni group game projects - it is so hard to get traction. Spending so much time crafting new posts for social media, only to feel like you're yelling at the void.

Now imagine instead of spending X months on a project, you spend X years, AND you're financially dependent of its success. You spend all those resources and you end up selling 7 copies (4 of them being your family members).

It's hard out there, man. It's easy to get jelly of people like Undertale or Stardew Valley devs, but when you realize that it is a gigantic lottery and they could have easily end up being one of those hundreds of failed devs that got their life ruined... Yeah, I'm not the type of person who just wants to play it 100% safe and just get a boring stable job, but this is too much even for me.

But on the other hand, he who dares wins etc. etc...

I sculpted the first one of those just about exactly 1 month ago. This newest one does not exactly look like a Victoria's Secret model yet, which is pretty much what I'm aiming for, but you can see that it's hell of a lot better than the first abomination I first created. So just keep at it, and you too can soon create humans.

>You should make more music videos
I'd honestly love to. But it's not something I really have time for unless it's something I can get paid for. At least then I can justify putting a ton of work into somethin, since it's for the client. If I put a bunch of work into it for myself, I run into that issue of working too hard for not any real gain. Since work isn't proportional to success. I know that's not the point, since I make art because I like doing it, but it kind of sucks making art in a void.
>reminds me of some of the fashwave videos
Yeah, my work tends to be the subject of a ton of fashwave edits, at lest judging by the /wg/ threads. I don't endorse them, but just mainly because I don't like edits of my work. People can have whatever world views they want, it's the art that matters ultimately.
I hope I get to do more music stuff though, I found the project to be really fun. Especially making music-reactive elements. I'd love to do something that really puts that as the focus.

>>839271
Oh yeah, I was watching the progress of that one in these threads. Even responded to it a few times. Really great seeing it come together with the visual storytelling.
I just spent the last few months posting my backlog on Twitter every day, and it got nothing but retweets from bots and not much else. It's not worth it. Twitter is full of bots and snowflakes.
Just try to focus on one main platform, since the higher one is, the more organically it'll grow.

>>839320
I feel ya. Life is hard when you want to create. All you want to do is focus on making, but you pretty much have to spend an equal amount of time schmoozing with people that probably don't even care. I get jelly of other artists sometimes too. But I try to remember that it's not really a competition, and I can only do the best that I can do. I won't ever be them, so I just gotta focus on making the things that I want to put out to the world.

Good luck everyone. /3/'s a shithole, but it's ours.

Agree with you, man. But fuck, it is so disgusting that stuff like that manages to make me feel bad, but it still does nonetheless. There are some particular new artists in game industry (I won't name them), who completely exploded recently. I have no clue how. But I'm sure they had decent following and support from friends when they started out. I'm basically an alien to this world in terms of people that surround me, I always start from 0.

And on top of it, you see they just recreate nice concepts while the work itself isn't a technical masterpiece either, and it should be at least that if you're not showing off your creative abilities. This never sat well with me, I always prefer artists who explore original concepts in their personal projects.

idk if you should even be jumping the gun and doing textures when you don't even have your forms down, also the the (attempted) realistic hair contrasted with the unrealistic face creates some "cg is my passion" vibes, you should probably just sculpt your hair in with the aid of curve modifiers. it would look way more consistent.

You know, that's actually precisely what I keep asking myself, when I sculpt my faces. Usually it's one of the trisomies. Down's or trisomy-X, maybe. When you're new to sculpting, it's really hard to say what's wrong. You can tell that something obviously is fucked up, but you just can't pinpoint what exactly.

every time iam modelling, tons of tools come to my mind, but i was to lazy in the past to learn the python api of blender. now after some weeks i got confident enough and started a tool that would be beneficial for my modelling style.

it projects an object onto the surface of an other object and you only need two selected edges/edgesequence to archive this. currently its just a flat plane and only one direction, but that will be next, then a fancy UI ...

Anonymous No. 839529

...the shrinkwrap doesnt respects the underlying edgeflow. this tool deforms the object so, that it fits perfecly into the existing topology - in the endversion you can project obejctes allaround the other obejct.

when you take a second look at the picture i posted you get the idea, this is absolute brainfuck to do it witht the shrinkwrap - the yellow mesh is the projected version of the orange flat one.

you build the boolean cut object or the part you want ro implement easy at the side and projects it onto the obejct with one klick ... thats the reason i started coding this, because it always pissed me off that its not possible with the tools i currently have.

the crux of the problem isn't sculpting but the inexperience at representing faces in general, you probably also suck at drawing and/or painting by the types of mistakes you're making. the knowledge is the same, understanding of form, proportions, design principles, anatomy etc.
if you have beglet level drawing skill you'll start off with beglet level amorphous trannies when you jump into 3d because you don't know how to accurately represent form either way.
