I would disagree. The purpose of an imageboard is to display content, so moderation is anti imageboard. Trolls get bored eventually and you combat them by creating interesting posts that get bumped. This place will never be a polycount or the like because people wont post serious work here due to anonymity. When someone does post a personal project they are told to go to the wip thread, therby reducing the amount of interesting threads. I could go on and on with other issues here, but you would have to change the entire culture here to make the board work in any meaningful way.

I disagree with you.
This place is not close to polycount and i'm happy it isn't.

What makes this unique is that it's probably the only anonymous 3D related forum. And i love it. Here's why:
I can freely post my work in this board without being recognized.
I don't have to obey the rules of some crappy discord server, with sweaty mods constantly checking on us.
I can tell anyone to go fuck themselves here and so they can. I'm not attached to a specific username that people will instantly attribute to me whenever i post.
In some way it's an insecurity. But i enjoy it.
I also notice that people in this board are much more honest than the people in polycount or a shitty discord server. They don't have an username or anything that identifies them, you can harshly critic some person's work without any problem.
But it's also a bit of a hinderance. The lack of moderation allows all kind of mentally ill nolifers such as asukafag or cris to relentlessly spam this board.
Now i wouldn't care if it was as active as /ic/, since schizo threads there are often ignored and just die quickly.

/3/ on the other hand is pretty slow. There are few posts. This means schizos and trolls can just shit on this board, spam and do whatever they want.
Hence why i think we're in dire need of jannies. There are slow boards like /pw/ or /mlp/ that aren't abandoned like this one, and they do actually get rid of shit threads without killing the lawless spirit that 4chan does have.

I like this board a lot. There's always a beginner posting here, and seeing them improve over the months is pretty nice. The threads aren't bad too.
What i do not like is a group of sweaty third worlders actively flooding this board with threads that don't contribute to anything.
What angers me even more is that there are gullible retards that reply to these, im almost thinking its a group of people that are trying to bring this down.

Wip anon here.
The main purpose of my applying was to clean up those threads about walk cycles, or more recently "what should be in my portolio, what's popular, etc" threads, all being posted by a single person.
I'm fine with them being posted, as discussion is good for the board and they are topics that should be discussed, but each question from the dude doesn't need its own thread.
I mean for fuck's sake, one of them was asking for clarification of what some dude said, without even posting any context. "what did he mean by visual library and how do you fill in that quota?". The board isn't a google search.

Personally, I'm fine with pretty much everything else on the board (except for software war shitposts, or the constant pepe posts). Those threads mentioned above though are a real plague, since they bump off threads that DO have significance.
/3/ can become better, it used to be better, it's possible to improve the board with everyone's help.

>>850541
I respect your position, but I'd offer my perspective on it.
You say that moderation would be counter productive, and that moderation reduces the amount of interesting threads, but I believe that the few anons that post countless threads are the people that are doing that. By constantly posting 1-response threads or worse, they bump off threads that are interesting. I don't think that everything should be relegated to assorted generals, in all honesty we're fine with the ones we have. They cover a good amount of topics.
I don't think those people are actual trolls, and they genuinely WANT a proper response (but actively ignore them for a response that suits their exact needs). Since they're not trolls, they won't stop, since it's not a game for fun that they'll get bored with. There's no doubt that they do leave from time to time, but they do come back.
You wouldn't want to walk on a sidewalk filled with trash and sewage, so why would you want to browse a board with the same problem?

The rules are a necessary evil, otherwise you'll get plenty of the garbage threads that you see on /3/. You get people who can't do their research while ignoring the advice given to them.
>I can freely post my work in this board without being recognized.
That's hardly a good thing, you want people to guage your improvement.
>I also notice that people in this board are much more honest than the people in polycount or a shitty discord server.
There's plenty of 3d communities that can harshly criticize you, you're just afraid to go on them. It's best to remain motivated to do 3d because it's a pain in the ass to learn. All of the bitter people I knew never improved in 3D.

If you're going to get any criticism, it'll be from people who work in the industry to give practical advice as opposed to clueless people who have a theoretical idea of how things go.

Finished my first personal project to model (blender) and texture (substance painter) a zweihander and pose it with an anvil I made the other week. The anvil was made by following blenderguru's anvil tutorial. Vegetation made with the graswald addon.
Some obvious issues are the anvil has texture warping in some places and I don't feel satisfied with the leather on the zwei; feels too flat and I couldn't get it to look how it did in the reference.
Other than that, what do you like about it and what can be done better?

I can't think of an appealing way to composite your image. Your centerpiece is a spindly thing that's hard to frame, 85% of the image is just noise and together with the camera angle makes me nauseous. The grading is cold.

Maybe just lay the sword flat on the ground with some nice beams & specks of warm light filtered through the forest canopy for a full shot, a closeup of the blade against the anvil, maybe a third shot to show off the handle but IMO it needs more love to be presentable on it's own.

Lighting and grading is what'll make or break your project.

New render. Decided to not have the whole sword in the shot to avoid an awkward camera and hide some weaker parts of the sword while giving more attention to the stronger parts. Felt that having it propped horizontally against the anvil was the easiest way to do that.
Gave it depth of field and a touch of godrays, fog, and bloom. Also warmed up the colors, per suggestion (maybe too warm?) and added a butterfly on the sword to add some color and thematic contrast against the blade.

Let me know what you think and thanks for the feedback and ideas

That's super pretty. The middle of the blade gets kind of lost against the anvil, though. I think it's caused by it reflecting the darker colors and texture of the anvil behind it. I think if you had some kind of way to separate it from the anvil, it would look even better. Something as simple as having a flower and a weed or two placed behind the sword might help. I also see dead leaves on the ground. If you had a large-ish dead leaf in midair between the sword and anvil, where the silhouettes intersect, I think that would also do a lot to help separate them. You could artificially increase the silhouette of the leaf by implying its motion with a little bit of motion blur, which would help to further separate the two. With the blood on the blade, the dead-leaf solution may help to reinforce the theme of death or violence.

It's coming along pretty good anon. I was wondering about this project the other day.
Make sure to fix that z-fighting with the guitar, but I'm pretty sure you know that already.

Are these keyposes that you'll animate inbetweens for, or is that how they'll look in the final?

Are you talking about the arm flickering? I don't know if I'm doing it right - but I've just been drawing everything around the guitars to avoid such things. I'll just erase the lines/fills that are overlapping it.

I don't think I'll be doing any inbetweens. Right now I'm more concerned with finishing it so I have less things on my mind.

Yeah the flickering with the guitar. It's because both objects are occupying the same space.
>I've just been drawing everything around the guitars to avoid such things
Why not just cut off the arm that's in front of the guitar, then sandwich the guitar between the body and the arm? They don't even need all that much distance between them, even an infinitesimal distance will fix it.

I made this from scratch with no references.
I can tell you what it's supposed to eventually be.
That big-ass thing on the back is supposed to have these helicopter rotor-drones in it.
The tank shoots a big laser from that thing in the front at the drones, which then bounce the laser into the target.

If anyone in this thread ever played Command and Conquer 3, you know exactly what I'm referring to.
Since I had no reference/sketch , I just inserted "spider-y things" wherever I could". Some webbing here, some legs there, the abdomen like a spider etc

I've kind-of been doing that. I would position the guitar slightly behind the character and in orthogonal-front view I would draw around it.

There used to be good threads, until the schizo nation attacked.
There's the occasional good thread that pops up here and there, but software faggotry has poisoned the well beyond all repair. Now you can't make it 5 posts without some chump bringing up what software someone is using or what they should be using, or why they should kill themselves because of what software they currently use.

The generals you pointed out don't suffer much from that sort of thing since it's a small rotation of anons that post in them. Generals are good for keeping things focused, but can also be a bad thing when there's too many of them and it stifles "free-posting" with everything having to be contained in the relevant channels that not all anons frequent.

same guy that posted this,
wanted to try making my first character, modeled with primitives in C4D, definitely kept asking myself if this would've been easier with ZBrush, but I started reading that it's easier to rig a character modeled rather than sculpted, so I figured I'd just try.

Was using some Ape Escape pipo monkeys as a reference, still plan on adding a helmet kinda like the Gnomish Mind Control helmet from World of Warcraft.

I tried rigging last night using the character rig in C4D but hit a deadend because I was following a guide and then he said click the Add Deformers button but mine didnt have it so I had no clue what to do once I had all my markers aligned.

I threw the model into Mixamo and got some pretty sick results, but I couldnt get my mats/textures to import over to Mixamo, and it was a pain in the ass to retexture the character once the character was imported with a rig, all the primitives kept moving and rotating weird

it's a matter of stylization, art style, design, etc
id say you should use 2D references drawn by yourself.

but first you should learn how to actually do 3d sculpting and there are many tutorials on the net. a quick search on youtube should teach you the basics of whatever software you're using, i'm unfortunately stuck with blender for now.

also, take a look at this channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe6aK54HfaRmoU2-DChVJkQ/videos and many other artists that do anthro sculpting.

aim for the 3hr long streams, you don't need to watch all of it but just a bit just to get a general reference on how it works.

i mostly learned to make anthro models by myself by studying how other artists actually sculpt them first, so then later i can adapt it to my "artstyle". tips from a fellow learning furfag :)

.. But, I've come to accept the fact that I'm never going to be able to make the 3D games I want without being able to produce my own models.
So, what's an artstyle I can try that doesn't require me to become an artist but that doesn't look like shit either. So far the only one that doesn't seem to make me angry are primitive-mech modeling, because modeling non-organic stuff seems to work better with my programming brain.

does it look grainy? did you tick "non color data" in your normal maps? do that if you didnt

I wouldn't say it looks grainy, it's more like when you look at a piece of wood and the divots and things are kind of subtle but when you look at a rock the divots and things are clearly noticeable. In fairness the object itself would be sanded and varnished anyway so it probably should be smooth, but this has happened twice now. An anon pointed it out on the last thing I posted but the same thing was happening and I couldn't get it to tone down.
Non-color data is ticked, yes.
I wouldn't say it looks like your pic, but that might just be because mine has a material on it and I'm too much of a brainlet to know the difference.
I haven't baked it at all in any program, not even in blender.
I've included a pic to try and help explain it better than I can. Those aren't rendered btw, they're just screenshots from the regular viewport.
The first one is with the scale set at 1, the second is it at 0.1, and the last one is at 2.

No point in having both displacement and normal plugged in. Displacement actually displaces the geometry, so use that on very high poly models. Normal is just a light trick that allows details to be present with low polycounts.

Unplugging displacement is a good trick, but sometimes flipping the roughness helps too I've found.
Your wood looks way too glossy which is also contributing to the stone look.
I'd either throw a gamma node in there and tweak it, or invert and adjust it till it looks better.

Ornamentation always draws attention. Pic rel. Of course, this isn't really an option if this is meant to be a commoner's house. I think part of the issue is that the lighting and materials look very flat.

Also, look at this pic. Notice how the shingles essentially make lines that force the viewer's eye to the edge. It looks like your roof is made of sheet metal/corrugated metal instead of shingles, but you could probably use ambient occlusion to slightly exaggerate the low parts of the roofing and create a similar effect. Another approach might be to add some grime/dust in the low parts, where it would have a tendency to collect. You might also consider adding a bit of weathering to the edges (but don't over do it).

I'm kinda new to zbrush and everything that goes with it like UV Unwrapping, so this model is on like 56 mil polys and the lowest sub div i have for it is 3.5 mil. I thought i could clone it, remesh then take copy paste UVs from that but apparently I can't. Is there any way to get to a much lower poly for the same subtool so that I can bake the details and texture it in substance? i tried projection and stuff but it doesn't work very well because the remeshed model always breaks in some places or looks like shit.

Well shit, turns out getting my ass bombarded with shitty school assignments doesn't leave much of a vague space of time to really keep doing my model work. But tomorrow i don't really have anything to do, and i'll stop procastinating shit when i finally have some time so i'll try to just finish this once and for all.

Anyway i digress, i'm just remaking this because the last low poly model was downright awful and way too out of scope from my original tri count budget. But now i'm just gonna make the body a single piece to save up on performance.

I also remade the pockets and made a vest, it's not gonna be visible or used anywhere but i just made it for fun.

If you can't get it to work in your software just install HLMV, you can get a detailed turnaround of the model and inspect it more upclose. Just plop the nihilanth .MDL file there and you're good to go. https://gamebanana.com/tools/4779

Can't really say much about SFM since i tried it one time and gave up because i found the UI and the proccess to make a simple animation absolutely horrible. Maybe i didn't get the hang of it, who knows.

There are a few quality SFM animations out there, yes. I'd say it's not 100% bad but now that we have SFM2, it might be even better.

Yeah I'm still figuring out what to do specifically for the eye. I've been meaning to get an animation with Zdrada and Malina, but I'm still unsure how to tackle parts of the face specifically since I'm not using pre-drawn shadows. I'll probably just end up normal editing the whites of the eye as well to get them to look less weird. I'll get to working on Malina's vest. Though, would you say similar has to be done to Zdrada's shirt as well?

Mostly the face, the features- It appears as if your model has had plastic surgery on her face to look more like a Who from the grinch-canon. And right now, it looks a lot like a glamorized template which you added onto with your OC (i know this isn't your OC, but if you didn't mention the ref artist, I would have assumed it was OC). I think the style of the body and head, the color tones and values- It all suits poorly for what you are working towards. Take this comment, try to internalize what I am saying. I don't want to aimlessly shit on the work you've done thus far. I want you to make cool things - I want everyone to make cool things. I suggest: Not so rigid.

You're projecting- You must be- Because no part of me aims to belittle or shut down. My harshness is warranted. Would you rather someone continue on a skewed path of character work. Picture a musician Never hitting the right notes and instead of addressing the issue, you instead tell them to adjust the instrument's volume up and down? That is what NPC responses to bad character work is like- You don't comment on how the notes being played fucking suck, you instead suggest the volume be up... no no maybe down a little. Yeah should be good. Great! that's a good volume! You miss the point. The poster of the character needs to A) study cartooning and the styles for creating cartoon characters, before modeling a cartoon B) do the best they can to try to reach for a more dialed approach to recreate based on reference

I have no answers on how to fix the current model you have there. I believe in your next project though, it is always better than the last. And don't let my words hurt you. I wish you the best path forward. I typed some brutal honest opinions- But again I commend the work you've put in

This GDC has good information on character design: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmGb-jU3uVQ

I'll suggest the book 'Cartoon Animation' by Preston Blair
Has a lot of great illustrations into the construction of a cartoon character (All types and forms)

Maybe lastly I'll suggest you watch Aeon flux, or some of the surrounding information on the art design of that program. The way the director chose to stylize the figures in that show, might give you insight on how to apply that side of the imagination while doing the initial steps of bringing characters into 3d

With this knowledge and some light study, you "tune in" to the process on a better foot, than if you were without

The wood is supposed to look a bit glossy though because it's varnished. I'll tone it down anyway though because that might fix a different problem I have. Overall I think it looks alright in the scene.

pretty satisfied with how this turned out, I know it looks like shit but its pretty much exactly what I imagined and I wasnt shooting for like pixar/disney quality, I just wanted a character I could rig and make dance to music. I could not figure out how to bake arnold shaders so I had to replace all the materials I used with whatever the basic c4d material is, and just eyedropped the colors off the old materials I used. Also when I export the model after baking, I cant figure out how to get rid of the black seams that show up, I've tried different resolutions, pixel borders etc.

Model in this image has a mixamo rig on it. I really wish I had a RTX card so I could render some loops of the rig in action in a reasonable amount of time.

Amateurish, boring, ugly and half-arsed - is this your first project? Sorry for being harsh, but its the truth.
I am pretty sure you could do better if you would put some more hours of effort into it and I would strongly advice you do so for various reasons.
Either you don't know any better, which is damning because of the amount of learning material available to you, or you have no motivation / discipline / passion.
Do you at least realize that this work isn't good?
Did you bit more than you can chew?
You got tired of it, ran out of time or want to do something else?
Either way, don't stop now - it would be a waste of the effort you've already put in, not finishing it means you leave a good opportunity to learn and grow and derive yourself of an success experience.
You've walked 65% of the way, the actually fun and rewarding part is ahead if you would keep on pushing.

No, you're supposed to learn how to pirate.
Using a 2D program to texture in 2021 is like cleaning your room with a toothbrush instead of using proper equipment.
It will hold you back, fuck your over, wastes your time, compromises your results, will demotivate you, stop you from advancing and becoming good, derive you of pleasure and makes you look like an retard.
Go there >>841796 and ask some anons for help, pirating painter is a walk in the park, you only need the files.
Quixel Mixer is still not really a great solution for texturing, only for some uses-cases.

So long, thanks for all the fish.
Don't forget that the thread is still considered "active" even though it hit bump limit.

OP here guys, putting together the next OP as we speak. It should be done by the time we hit page 5.
Depending on how crowded things get in this next one, I think it might be the last collage. Start thinking of ideas for OPs, or we could start up another collage.

I was thinking it might be cool to create a showcase in Unreal, where its the /wip/ landscape and your models were in it and you can walk around it and check them all out. Of course that has its own issues, mainly the posting of models to use in it, and all that jazz. Still, it's an idea.

I agree with you, there are some things i suck at making in blender, for example the bricks, and the shading, its on the border of realism and it looks like something is missing, but i never watched a rendering, so i don't know how to achieve a better result, all i did was fuck around in blender with no goal in mind.

>>853241
Even if i put more time into it and i get better, its impossible to get work in 3d in my country sadly. Maybe il "finish" it after watching some render tutorials, i mostly did game assets for modding anyway.

you should probably give it some color + set the worlds color to a nice complementary one
e.g. sun color to a pale yellow, world color as a pale blue (or even better, make it a gradient)

K i added some subdivision modifiers and played a little bit more, but i think i'm done with this little house it was a good learning experience, i originally started it as a low poly prop for "games" but then decided to fuck around and see what happens. I'm satisfied with the result, some thing could improve that's for sure, but rendering is not my goal, at least for now.

Your picture looks alright if you crop the lower half away. The ground and the foundation of the house look awful. Why not just use actual displacement for the foundation and add some proper ground scattering with geonodes? A bit more work and you can proudly show it to your mum.

Foundation and ground already uses displacement, if i were to continue this project i would need to watch some tutorials about shading and light, i know that there are some on the internet, but like i said, i'm not pursuing a career in rendering, just playing around as i learn stuff. I usually start something and make it until i reach a point where i have no idea how to do it and then start searching what i need, no more no less, i watch the video until i see what i need and i stop there, sometimes i come back and watch the entire thing but only because the guy who made the tutorial made a mistake and i followed that mistake too. I know it can be made amazing, but i would rather start a new project and then come back to this one once i have more knowledge.

>Foundation and ground already uses displacement,
They clearly don't. They look like they have normals, but definitely no displacement. I guess you're using Eevee, which explains it. So either switch to cycles or use a displacement modifier, if you want to see actual geometry-level displacement.
