I've gotta say it has become REALLY unusual to see good content posted on /3/. I want to know more, got Twitter or something? Is this a game or just a bunch of experimental scenes you're showing? Really interesting characters, and at the same time they seem to be perfect for an indie game due to how simple they are. Perfect amount of cuteness and everyhing, I bet normies would eat that up, hell, I would as well.

Thanks bruv!
I dont like that social media is altering the way people think and create. I might post here every now and then. The mannequins are included in unreal engine starter content. I think they look cool but I'll do my own characters later on . I wanted to see if I could get UE5 to struggle with models I feed it but it but it seems to do fine no matter what kind of retarded workflow I use on these assets.
Im also very dissapointed in /3/ lately

keep practicing your sculpting. i wouldn't worry about the hair for now, focus on 'muh anatomy' some more. i'm not super learnt in anatomy myself but from my untrained eye the torso looks too long. but maybe thats just because she has no legs.

i guess you don't need anybody to tell you it looks like shit. now, if you want advice for how to improve, get on learning basic anatomy, like measuring body proportions with head units, how the features of the face relate to each other, etc. /ic/ has a 3TB mega link with books and video courses you can download from so you have no excuses.
you could also grind sculpting individual body parts until you get them right, like hands and such, but maybe 'you should be doing whatever you want to do'.
oh and btw, the face looks better but it still looks like a groomed boy.

Yes, legs are quite important. I think the torso is about the correct length. My previous character had too short. It's one of those things that you think like "girls with long legs and shorter torsos are hot", and then you end up exaggerating it horribly. I had the same thing with way too small noses, too large eyes, too small hands etc. Probably still do, honestly, but I'm working on it.

This is not a real tank at all, is it? It looks a little bit like early Japanese tanks. Very bulky front, though. And the rear bogie and two drive wheels are quite weird. The track links don't seem to be connected to each other in any way either.
The bogies and the drive wheels look really good. The lamps too.

That's certainly fine. But the advantage of modelling a real tank is that all the parts typically have a purpose. When you make your own, it can end up with some weird features that look reasonable but don't necessarily make much sense. Such features can then be a bit of an eyesore to those who do know about tanks.

Zremesher in standard values do a good job keeping anything around 40K polys.
Density control in face and hands for more detailed character are needed sometimes, however.

Of all those only baking is gay, and only if you have a lot of meshes with many folds and corners. For this model it should be smooth as fuck. Post wire with seams, because those knees look suspicious.

Idk, just use more geo for those parts. Yours is pretty dense anyway, so maybe you are using wrong values. If that doesn't help, just copy your lowpoly, use displace modifier, tweak strategic areas and use that as a cage.
Seams look fine, idk why you get those weird shading problems. Did you use the same tangent space and triangulation for baking as you are using for the actual mesh?

Oh, I must try something like that. Thanks for the suggestion. I get these absolutely awful artefacts between toes, next to finger nails, around the ear, at eye lids and lips all the time, and it drives me mad.
>Seams look fine, idk why you get those weird shading problems. Did you use the same tangent space and triangulation for baking as you are using for the actual mesh?
I don't know. I'm really good at fucking things up, so it might be anything. I didn't triangulate anything at all, though. Is this something I should do?

If your geometry follows the highpoly surface closely, this is most likely an issue with ray distance value. Try setting it lower and see what happens. Try to find the sweet spot.
>I didn't triangulate anything at all, though. Is this something I should do?
If you baked it in Blender then it's not necessary. Otherwise triangulate before export, set tangent space to mikk in the baking soft, bitangent set to per pixel, make sure you bake in OpenGL format.

Yeah. Quite many actually. And some of them would require changing the high resolution mesh, which is not something I really have the will to do this far down the line. Maybe I'll fix them later. Or in the next model.

She actually had rotation on her hip, which propagated through all the keyframes. It looks like this without that transformation. The weight paint might also suck, of course, but her tibia isn't quite as broken without that unintended rotation.

I think your model is also a little weak in the knees. remember that the tibia angles slightly outward from the knee and because of the thigh muscles that wrap around the medial condyle it creates the illusion that the tibia is displaced slightly lateral at the knee.
Anyway, I think that is the most glaring issue but apart from that I think you did a great job. Very appealing face and good proportions overall. Keep up the good work!

I'll post the one I originally posted too just for the sake of comparison. That way some kind anon can tell me if I made things worse instead of better.

I think when people told you to make it brighter or complained about it being dark you might've gotten the wrong idea. The original is a lot more moody but you should add more light to the scene to a) balance it out and b) create more dynamic shadows as well as give the gold something to catch in its reflection so it's not just some harsh specular highlights. As you can see in the new one the gold looks much better because you can see the reflection of the crate lid.
As for general suggestions, I'd say use a second lantern as a warm and dim lightsource perhaps behind and to the left of the crates above them but ultimately you just need to experiment with that.
Maybe having a the flag on the wall and being reflected in the gold could be cool?
Either way, the harsh, head on spotlight you use to illuminate the scene took a lot away from the original, in addition the dim lighting helped hide the fact that there's no shadows where the crates meet the ground and also that excessive displacement you're using on the ground.
If you want to just generally brighten up the scene after adding a second dim light source, use a third light with no shadow casting and set it's intensity very low to fake som basic gi.
And bring the skull back, it was fine and helped balance the composition a tad.
If you decide to put the flag on the wall behind the crates, consider placing the crowbar leaning against the crates on the left side instead but don't do that if you leave the flag where it is.
That's my two cents.

I should also use a different material next time, I like the look of this one but after switching to default grey matcap, I realized the sculpt is way more extreme in its forms than I thought because this material has softer shading and this SSS-type effect.

Thanks for that. I did originally try to find out how to keep the scene dark but lighten it if you know what I mean. But I couldn't find out how so I thought I was just being a retard and lightened the whole thing, ironically confirming myself as a retard. Truthfully I don't really know what I'm doing, I'm just picking it up as I go along. This is the only thing I haven't stopped doing halfway through and began to fuck around with something different. I want to stop doing that and actually finish things I start.
I'll try your suggestions and see how I get on. I do see what you mean with the reflection on the gold and how it looks better. I'll definitely add the additional lantern and I'll keep
>use a third light with no shadow casting and set it's intensity very low to fake som basic gi
in mind because I'm sure I'll need to use that too.
I'll give hanging the flag up a shot as well and see how that works out.
The only other thing I'm not sure how to unfuck is this
>that excessive displacement you're using on the ground
Another anon mentioned it when I posted originally, but I was too much of a coward to ask how to fix it. Is it a case of just reigning it in a bit or is there more to it than that?

Changing the flag around should be the last priority, just mess around with an additonal light source or two and varying positions to get a feel for how it affects the scene.
As for displacement, it's generally done using a heightmap so there should be a simple intensity slider. Idk what program you're using and so on though so I can't say for sure what it will look like to you.

If you're using Blender, you can do something along those lines by playing with the curve in the colour management. Make shadows darker and highlights lighter.

Old one was definitely better, it just needed some curves adjustment to bring out the scene more but keep the moody tone.
Some weird shit is going on with the flag in the other too (the new one). Looks like the sim isn't good enough and it's clipping into the box, plus there's no smooth shading on it.
I kind of miss the skull from the original t.b.h. I know some people were knocking on it before, but it really feels like something is missing without it. Especially since the lighting in the original "pointed" to the skull compositionally.

idk if the monthly /ic/ 3tb mega thread already died but they had some neat courses in there, i snatched one regarding female anatomy in zbrush by raf grasseti, def recommend.
also idk if you're looking for critique at all or if this is just a throwaway sketch but the pecs are too short in length and too high up, there is no collar bone and so the delts don't connect to it, the obliques conform to the shape of the pelvis because they attach to it, yours is a flat v all the way through, the bifurcation of the sternocleidomastoid is too prominent and the space in between too deep, the trapezius is too long and oddly shaped, the deltoid in the anterior view is too short and the infraspinatus is going over it when it should be going under, there's no teres minor, at this level of definition it should be visible, the teres major goes into the delt when it should be going into the humerus(but theres no arm anyway i'll cut you some slack), and lastly the booba look slightly malformed but ironically women who are this yoked irl will have tits just as weird as your sculpt.
keep on grinding though, a few projects down the line and you'll be significantly better.

A better way would be to just uv the plant on the image to skip the painting skip, as well as manually assembling a few plants so you dont have to use geometry nodes (and thus blender).
This way has the advantage that i have a node which i can just drop into projects without much effort

So I've fucked around with the lighting and I think I improved it? I did what you suggested with the additional lantern too. You can't really see it, but I like it and think it does make a difference. I still need to find a way of adding a light somewhere to highlight the gold more without it being too bright. I tried putting the lantern behind the crate, like as if it was hanging on the wall, but I couldn't get it to look right.
I forgot to mention that I'm in Blender. I also cut back on the displacement and I think that looks better too. That was mainly the fault of the keyboard I'm using but I won't bore you with that.
Is it improved do you think?

I'm not sure why it's happening, but the rope handle on the crate clips through the flag. Every time I did it I had to manually move the flag to the left a little and tried to wing it. I added the smooth shading and I think it looks better for it.
I wanted to add some kind of velvet-esque shader to it so it doesn't look as glossy, but I couldn't get that to work. Without it it makes it look like a kind of rubber or vinyl or something, when I tried to make it look flagish it ended up looking like paper so I just fucked all of it off and left it.
Skull is back though. I'll not add anything else until I can get the lighting right.

Blender is a bit wonky with cloth simulation. If the objects are too small, they often just go right through each other. The flag's scale should be something like 10 meters or more for the simulation to work properly. Also, the normals have to be correct, so go to edit mode and recalculate them with alt+n.

I noticed that myself after I'd rendered it too. It doesn't seem to look as harsh on any of the other renders of it I've done, just that one. I'll fix that though.
>Flag also looks a little low poly
Yeah it is, I forgot I was using the old save file and I'd only done about 10 subdivisions on the flag in it. I'm redoing the flag anyway, but I'm glad you pointed it out because I can almost guarantee I would haven't remembered and just done the same thing again.

Thanks! I'll use more samples for the final render for sure.
>>841487

Fuck I didn't know that. It explains a lot though when I've experimented with them in the past.
10 meters? Fucking hell that seems huge. I seem to have a real issue getting my measurements to work and keeping things in perspective. They always seem to revert to default and it throws me off so I have to do the old method of "what seems to look right". I need to fix that though because I know it isn't a viable long term thing.
I'll recalculate the normals when I redo it and hopefully that will make things go better.
Thanks dudes.

>10 meters? Fucking hell that seems huge.
You don't need to change the scale. You can also change the simulation settings. Increase quality steps and decrease simulation speed multiplier, for instance. People just often use higher scales, since that basically does the same thing. A 50-meter flag obviously moves slow in comparison to a 50 meter gold chest, whereas a 50-cm flag moves quite fast, since both are subject to the same 9.81 m/s2. When objects pass through each other, it's typically because they move too fast or because normals are incorrect.

One more thing about the flag: I'd add a normal map to it, to give it texture. As I understand it, most flags where made out of more traditional fabrics in the 40s, like cotton, as opposed Nylon, which tends to have a smoother appearance by comparison.

it can be bad if you're baking lightmaps or normals, and it can be wasting texture space. there isn't really anything wrong aside from that.
for highpoly it prevents you from adding a bevel at the intersection (shader bevels still work though)

Think about motion, always, like the maximum range that every articulation of this mech has is to rotate in one axis(IF they are able to rotate).
so how would it balance itself when walking?
what headroom does it have to stabilize in this rough terrain?
how would it actually walk?
it looks highly unstable just to stand upright as is, as in it looks like it needs to exert a counter rotation on the leg joint to avoid the "torso" from spinning backwards due to the center of mass seemingly not being at the center of the mech, so it would need energy just to stand upright, etc.
ball joints(and the necessary space for them to move) at the connection with the body would already make it way more logical.
the metal gear series tends to use this bipedal mech design a lot, the conclusion they arrived at is to make them analogous to t-rexes, when designing stuff like that try to do the same, find the closest thing to your idea and study it.
hope this helps.

I tried to follow the advice I was given as best I could.
I recaluclated the normals on the flag and added a normal map to it. I did increase the quality steps and decreased the speed simulation multiplier, I was looking for a way to scale the object size in the settings (sort of like to trick it) without physically scaling the object itself (which someone on a forum said is possible but I couldn't find how to do it).
I really managed to somehow fuck myself with the normal map on the wood being too high. For some reason every single panel on it has been subdivided five times, why the fuck I did that, assuming I didn't do it by accident, I honestly have no idea. However it happened or why I did it, it's making like 25 small harsh normal maps across each panel instead of just 1. I lowered it by a large amount and it seems to have made no difference. I had a real problem in the first place just getting that eagle on there. It's completely separate to the wood material, but whenever I moved the UVs for the wood the eagle was moving all over the place with it. Doing them individually was really tedious so I've just left it.
Added the crowbar back and a shitty hand mallet that you can't really see and is about the size of Thor's hammer instead of a realistic size, and I tweaked the lighting a little bit.
I think that's it though and I'll move on to something else. Thanks for your help /3/ros, you've helped me learn from mistakes I won't make in the future.

Looks much better. You don't need subdivisions for normal maps though and even with it being high res uv'ing should still be a breeze given that each plank is literally just a box..

For me, I'd move what you have up onto the next shelf and have like a hifi on the one you have things on now and then a bunch of vinyl along the bottom one. Maybe some ornaments on there too.

I'll do some more trial and error with the pictures, the way the picture frame model works it stretches out a square picture into a rectangle, so i had to squish the art into a square or some of it would be cut off, editing the UVs was more faithful to the original art, but fucked up the frame itself

try this: UV map the area with a picture to the full UV space (that is, unitize it), and resize the pictures to be square
you might lose some resolution on the narrow axis of each picture, but this doesn't have to be an issue if the image is big enough to start with, and you don't have to deal with matching the aspect ratio

One other thing, are those floorboards? They seem really wide for floorboards in comparison to the scale of the couch. I know you can get wide floorboards, but the standard size is around 4.5-5" (or 12cm, I'm not sure if you use metric or imperial), but even wide floorboards are only around 9-10".
I'm only mentioning it because the couch is around four floorboards wide which means the couch itself would be 18-40" wide. I'm not sure what kind of couch that is exactly, but a Chesterfield, which is what it reminds me of, is like 60" or so wide and 26" high.
Like I've said before I'm by no means an expert, and those boards might be the correct size and just seem wider because of the pattern repeating.

(I'm alright with either system) I envisioned them as floorboards, the planks aren't a consistent size (Posting texture once i downscale), but comparing them against the side table which is 55cm (22"ish) they'd only be around or slightly wider than the upper limit you mentioned

Idk dude, if your objective was to create the head of a person with some kind of congenital deformity then it's pretty much done, except for the mouth which seems to have some weird geometry around it.
If you wanted to create a normal human you skipped a few steps, because your texturing is pretty good but your proportions are ridiculously off

-Mouth shape is weird, the lower lip is too thin

For example, compare the proportions of pic rel to those of your sculpt. I think the difference is pretty noticeable.

thing is there's just so much wrong with it that it'd be to lengthy of a critique to point it all out, that's why people aren't willing to tell you shit.
but to keep it simple, the skull is very malformed and weird, the chin is very small and is contrasted with a massive forehead/cranium that are so elongated that they would put commercial airplanes in danger of crashing with it.
the eyes are too big compared to the rest of the face and they have no supporting structure, meaning there's no glabella, or superciliary arch nor a zygomatic process to speak of, etc.
the lips are too weak and too distant from the nose generating a supermassive philtrum that looks like pic related.
the corners of the mouth serve as a hub where multiple muscles connect to, creating a sharp crevice and a slight extrusion, yours is flat.
the ears are fucked.
the neck is formless.
the cranium has no temple.
the nasal wings are super thin, there's no glabella so the nose bridge doesn't connect to it.
and finally for me to be able to shit on it more i'd need a profile view, but it should be pretty obvious what's wrong with your model if you have ever looked at a human face, i refuse to believe you used reference for this.

I am trying to determine if I am simply shit at making a scene or if I have been hindered by my crappy PC.
Take for example the viewport window in the lower left corner. Using cycles with 32 samples with adaptive sampling, along with 12 max bounces of light and an automatic viewport pixel size, the viewport took 20 seconds for it to settle.
When I add multiple more objects with their own materials, it becomes even worse, and it can occasionally lead to my computer crashing.
Does it seem that it is my PC that is hindering me? or am I not cut out for 3D art? You couldn't believe how much I envy those people who can work in full screen mode and have their viewport settle in less time than my shitty little window.

When I zoomed in, it became significantly slower. Granted, it has a subsurface material, but I don't understand why it would take 42 whole seconds for that small window to resolve.
I am not looking to make myself feel better by using my PC as an excuse for my lack of renders. I just want to know the truth and if I am just in a shitty situation.

Well maybe not nineteen more as I previously mentioned but definitely multiples more than a single frag grenade which isn't even baked from a highpoly, let alone textured. The less you have the more well crafted and dazzling they would need to be. However once everything is done it can just sit there and make monies, which I know from personal experience and would recommend any poor artist attempt to pursue if money is an issue. If hard work isn't your style I suggest the alternative - "lowpoly", polygonal esque assets? Personally, I look down on the artstyle due to it being a handicap for game makers, but I talk to a few polygonal sellers infrequently enough to be able to ask how much they pull, and it varies between less than a hundred usd to a couple thousand a month. It is a sellout artstyle, true, and yes, like I said above I don't recommend it if you're making an actual game, it will bring down your overall look. But if you're struggling for money it's something that is simple to replicate reference from real life, and depending on your work, easier to get onto the marketplace due to less stringent policies against lowpoly effort, than say, pure code/bp and even the more complex artstyles. If you're making these as an asset provider, they are a good form of money if you can make quality work - which isn't hard if you've got a singular artistic bone in your body. If money is an issue it is well worth looking into. An example linked below.

Cycles or EEVEE?
Even though EEVEE renders very fast, on a bad computer Cycles (Light Bounces 1, caustics off, shadows off, Film -> Transparent on) viewport works a bit better.
But really 2.8x+ just runs poorly on old/bad computers. 3.0 might change that since they're making massive viewport performance improvements but I wouldn't hold my breath.
In fact I'd tell you to buy a new computer or at least upgrade your total ram and buy a GPU, even a bad/cheap one will be vastly superior to an integrated card.

I'd also like to add that if you're destitute and need money but think working a job would "delay" learning Blender, well you need to get a job and make whatever money you can.
Even 10 hours of minimum wage would let you buy a GPU better than an integrated graphics card.
Access to OPTIX is a big deal, it lets you use a very powerful AI Denoiser that lets you render at very low samples (35 is very low) and produce pretty nice renders.

Ehh it's normal for your computer I guess, I'd expect it to run just a liiitle faster, which means there's still some optimization to be done. Are you sure you're using CUDA to render?
You should probably get a new pc if you can, yours will probably be awful even with eevee. Either that or be patient with the renders. When I had a crappy PC, I'd pretty much never use the viewport, only the material preview and the occasional render

Is it really that hard to understand? On a technical level, disregarding aesthetics (which are subjective and regional), your first grenades sucked.
They went for realism AND style but missed both marks; a common mistake. Furthermore the wear and tear looked like shit (as almost always is the case) which every human brain can immediately identify as "wrong" even if they don't know why.

true, for some reason the pineapple one has most of the paint scrubbed off at the top and plenty of rust in the upper grooves while at the same time the top part of the grenade looks like it came straight from the factory, the story it tells is as if 2 different grenades with were somehow jerry rigged together.
it would've made way more sense if the rust were located at the edges and front faces instead of the crevices and non front facing surfaces since that's where most damage would occur because these parts will interact with other surfaces way more often.

I've been learning how to texture a little bit. It's far more difficult than I thought it'd be. And texturing in Blender feels really clunky. So far I've only managed to produce simple textures for my characters' skins and the girl's clothes. I also textured her hair, but it actually looks nicer like this. Next I should fix and texture the man's clothes and texture the tank, but that one seems really daunting. I should also model a wheat field. Then I can create a nice picture called Erika.

There is this service called Mixamo, where you can download animations. You can then retarget that animation to your character's rig in Blender with an addon called Rokoko. It's quite simple and fast. Making this took me maybe half an hour after seeing your posts. You should give it a try. Unless you consider it cheating, of course.
