This will probably be the last collage before I wipe the board and start up a new one. I've upscaled the original wip image to 4k and added some more sky, so there should be plenty of res and space for a ton of threads.
I'll even throw together an animated gif/webm that shows everything being added from this series. Something to look forward to!

Hey thanks anon. I didn't realise how difficult it would be to make a horizon that looks like, well, a horizon. I'll look into doing what you suggested and see if I can get something working with it.
I've taken a break from it for the time being to try something different (not Nazi related) and I'm enjoying it. It's for a specific non-/3/ thread so I don't know if I'll bother posting it in here. It's just for a bit of fun anyway.

Lately I've been doing what I can to get just about everyone into the OP. Usually it means dealing with 50+ images, but I've been able to get by pretty easy ever since Photoshop added that subject-based selection.

I dream of a day I'll have to redo LP and UVs exactly 0 times for a successful bake and texturing phase. I always fuck something up, it's unbelievable.

>sometimes find a random vertex has been auto merged with another one during the texturing phase
>keep forgetting to orient all of the UV shells properly when texturing wood assets (or any other assets with clearly visible pattern)
>forget to sharpen based on UV shells before export
>have an extra material on some piece of a prop, which creates problems in SP
>during the texturing find out some UV island got caught in the selection when I was straightening another shell, and now I have to redo the UVs yet again

Always tiny things, but the ones which create enough problems I have to redo something, reimport and rebake over and over and over again.

Death by thousand cuts. Sucks. The thing is that I already did the same process hundreds of times and I do this professionally lol.

The biggest problem I have with 3D is forgetting that you constantly need to be thinking several steps ahead. I've lost count how many times I've done step 25 and it's all fucked up because I didn't do something in step 2 that seemed innocuous.
I'm too lazy to redo everything, and I know I can't fix it, so I always look for a way to bodge it or hide it from the camera if that's possible. It's stupid to do that way because if I can't fix it or bodge it or hide it I end up restarting it anyway. The only difference is I waste more time looking for a solution than it would take to start from scratch.

You guys are overthinking this. Just pay attention attention to what you're doing and as issues appear you improvise, adapt, overcome.
Given hard won experience you eventually end up in a state when you know what will go wrong and you'll be able to avoid it ahead of time
while also being equipped to correct anything that slips thru the cracks.

It's rare for me to not have to go back and rework some geometry, redo some UV's or skin weights or mend bakes etc.
Difference is I have a deep bag of tricks to throw at any problems I face and these problems are expected so there's no fuss.

I hope to reach that point after I spend enough time with it.
I don't like following tutorials because I don't really feel as if I'm learning things that I can apply to other projects (depending on the tutorial obviously). I like to have a basic understanding, go my own way, then look for a solution if I find a problem. It seems to stick with me easier that way. If I have to do my own legwork then I'm more likely to remember to not make that same mistake in future, or, if I do, I know how to solve it. If I'm just told from the outset then it goes in one ear and out the other. Like if I don't have that problem already I don't need to retain the information.
It's not the right way to do it and it's more time consuming, but it's the only way that really works for me. I'll get there in the end. The more progress I see the more I like to continue progressing. It's like a positive feedback loop.

Believe it or not, I got slower once I started doing things "properly". Sure, modeling, unwrapping etc. maybe got faster, but there is so much busy work it's unreal once you take a step back and look at it.

>model mid poly (no subd, fug that shit)
>auto UV unwrap in 1 second
>drop into SP, bake with default settings, baking errors but they are small so who cares lol
>use smart materials and smart masks to quickly texture an object
>drop into UE4 and render
>done

Now:

>model proper HP with subd or FWN
>triangulate and export to Zbrush, manually sculpt all the details
>create LP from HP
>manually unwrap
>ensure smoothing groups are proper
>triangulate
>export to SP, bake with custom settings
>set up painter file properly with aces and other visual effects
>dozens of layers of texturing, together with manually painted detail using different brushes and stencils
>ensure correct PBR values
>setup proper naming conventions for export
>go back to a modeling software and manually create collisions and lightmaps

Yeah, I feel like it's important for angles like this where the curve of the eye should cover the boney ridges. On the right I stretched it out so you can see how it looks a little too flat if it doesn't. My model's far from perfect, but I know from doing 2D art that having that shape is useful.

One other thing I think helps in that area is making the ears flow into the cheekbone rather than the brow. You can see it on short-haired dogs pretty well. It eliminates that sort of fold/crease on the lower side of the ear (which mostly gets hidden by fur but could be hard to animate.) Also makes it clearer where the brow bones are headed. Looking good so far, though!

looks nice anon, i think the DoF is just a bit too strong on the box on the left but it's up to you. It's blurred liem you're shooting with a f2 or so but the plane of focus in the rest of the scene is too wide and everything is sharp so it looks strange. Either add a slight blur to things nearer and farther to your focal point, to 'build up' to the blur level of the foreground objects, or reduce the blur on the foreground so it's not as stark a difference.

sculpting hair
I'm afraid the forms are a bit too big, not sure if I want to add more detail strands or just start over in a different style.
on the technical side I figured out how to encode position for the fake anisotropic reflection, normally this uses the hair UV but it's not feasible to unwrap this without stretching or visible seams.

the reflection on the red tiles looks as if light was leaking from above, and AO doesn't seem to be gathering where it joins the ceiling. I'd add some geometry or just a specular gradient to remove the strong reflection. assuming this is ue4 because I don't know anything about nanite.

Anonymous at Fri, 22 Oct 2021 16:06:38 UTC No. 857719

yea it's ue4. I've added a cube to block the light. As for the AO, i have no idea what's going on. When I check buffer ao it's all white. I'm sure all my settings are correct, and ao is activated. It's not the first time it's happen to me: at the start of the project ao works fine and when I get to the lighting part it gets all messed up. I also have this black verticle line on the white wall: no idea what's happening. it's coming from the light, i've tried changing light to stationary to see and it doesn't change anything

you could try adding a lightmass portal around the light. visualizing ao can be hard since it gets blown out by strong lights, I think there's an option to exclusively bake ao for debugging. gpu lightmass might also give different results, but it's a time investment to get that working.

yeah, I find it hard to impossible to get the clean stylised look if you try to sculpt the strands by hand. my process is
1. add sphere, push into shape for volume.
2. start adding strands on top, I find curves unwieldy so I use InsertMesh then Bend Curve deformer in zbrush.
3. dynamesh and smooth out the transitions carefully to not make a mess, Pinch_3DCW is extremely useful.
4. claypolish lol

Made a bunch of window blind textures.
I'm planning on making some kind of window shader to handle skyscraper windows so they have random interiors and stuff. I figured that having some different window blind heights might add some extra variation to get rid of some repetition and add some more randomness, so I spent some time making a bunch of textures for them.

I originally just did a normal map with an alpha, but ended up adding height maps and translucency to them as well (though they're not visible in the gif).
It's kind of a stupid and random thing, so I doubt people would actually want them, but I figure if I go the extra distance with the extra maps I could sell them on my Gumroad or something for a few bucks just in case someone actually did. I was only going to use the normal maps, really.

I developed a fully featured C++ plugin for things like this between 2007 and 2011: vRoom
It created room geometry at runtime from a list of image probes and populated them with rudimentary props from an object library, making it suitable for archviz as well as sci-fi imagery. It also handled all the surfacing including room illumination and percentage of lights switched on, glass reflection distortion and refraction, tint effects, blinds, curtains, glass bulging, etc.
All within a very small memory footprint.
Couldn't make it fully compatible with the new instancing system or Octane and sales dropped off, so I abandoned it.

That's actually pretty awesome.
What I'm trying to do is something similar, just on a purely material level, though I've had issues with trying to get the whole parallax room thing working in Blender.
At the very least I was just going to have a single random texture for the interiors and see how that flies. Then just rely on variations with the hue, emission strength, and the blinds and all that other stuff.
I'm still debating whether to make the room textures myself or grab a bunch off of flickr, but I am leaning towards doing them myself. I'd love to randomly add furniture to them. If I do though I think I'd want to go the parallax room look (like you have), but that's way outside my expertise. I'm just an art dude that can get by with what I know, but anything really complicated I'm at a loss.

I used to have a parallax room nodetree for Blender a few years back, but it really didn't work the way I wanted and never mapped itself properly to the face.

I've made a similar shader before to make randomized skyscrapers, but it's kind of basic compared to what I'm trying to do now. Really it's just a complex masking tool, and makes windows with random emit strength, size, and adds little details to the buildings like stripes and stuff. Then you just texture it with whatever. It worked alright for background stuff but the windows are what really bring it down. So I was hoping on making this to make windows for full geometry skyscrapers, as well as augment the building shader thing with the random windows for background stuff.

Yeah I definitely came across this a few years back when I was trying to do this type of thing the first time.
I still have it downloaded somewhere, but I think the issue I ran into with it was that since it's OSL based, I couldn't render using my GPU. Which kind of made it just a neat toy rather than something I could use in an animation or similar. Especially since I'd probably get quicker render results with the GPU just using actual geometry over using the OSL shader and CPU rendering.

Unless I'm just a retard and you can render OSL with GPU in Blender now. I'll admit I didn't look very far into it.

Hmm I should probably look at more intimidating/action animal poses, something like a deer about to run or a wolf about to attack, you're right in that it generally feels a bit goofy. First time doing a 4 legged creature so unfortunately my eyes and brain aern't there yet.

Thanks for the feedback anon! Luckily it's still a wip, the armor/exo-skin should flow better once I add more pieces, I'll see if I need to break things up.

I think the other anon is right about the eyes thing.

It's not that you need it to be in an intimidating pose, but that the visual landmarks (and lack thereof) we associate with "this is this type of animal" are what made the first one a bit unnerving in a good way.

The second one just comes off as looking like a goofy cartoon character, rather than some kind of automaton some unhinged alchemist has been working on in his laboratory for 200 years, or some kind of ancient mechanoid some long lost advanced civilization made.

Hmm I see, that's really awesome that you saw all that! Yea I suppose that's more accurate on the incorrectness I'm trying to pin down, but I think it comes down to the overall shape and subtle lines used. I definitely want to keep the antler motif so I'll keep those but I'll try some variations of the face to really see if I can bring back that same feeling.

Haven't connected the toes yet but I think these legs are looking alright. Rigging these feet is going to be a nightmare but that is the price I pay for being a fucking furry. Should probably start on retopo instead of tweaking the base endlessly.

i think your original one had a nice silhouette like a chinese dragon crossed with a deer, the new one has this goofy big chin and you made the eyes too cartoony. Deer have round eyes on the sides of their head because they're prey animals, same as lizards which are the inspo for dragons. (chinese dragons are closer to lions but that's beside the point, I meant more like Haku from Spirited Away, which is more wolf/cat like) Your second one has forward-facing ones, the things on its nose look like a v8 engine, the other stuff is too blobby and bulky, it was better when it was thinner and more floaty, and finally it all looks like it's been bolted onto a generic horse model, the white and gold parts need to follow the horse form better.

Try to focus on the original haku/deer/ethereal kind of vibe with some 2d concept art first and match that in 3d rather than just pushing shapes around, you might find it a lot easier to get to where you want.

Yea I was just too attached to the v8 shit when i had it started haha. I already made three of the automatas so I was thinking about pushing diff theme with this one, have a couple versions saved. I get what you're saying about the lightness of the dragon but I don't think I intend to have that here. I just gave it the same material to see if it would work out, though I did take the advice about the eye, thinking about keeping him blind and using sonar/echolocation with his antlers or some shit and for now that big cyclops eye works for me, liking the shiny subsurf skin texture so far tho.

But I SUPPOSE I could try to remake a more "alchemist creating self moving automata" type of horse. I see what you're saying in my head now, but yea, pushing more towards natural abstract rather than high fantasy automata.

So I've retopo'd most of the rest of the model, but now I'm stuck doing these again. I'm not sure how you're supposed to proceed here when you're using subsurf and shrinkwrap, because shrinkwrap fucks them up due to the overlapping volumes. (And removing the overlap via remeshing doesn't really work, see 3.) If I apply the modifiers and try to extrude them that way, I'll have hundreds of points on just this one loop to work with and it'll be a nightmare.

But I can't really find a way to proceed with the modifiers active. Best way I can think of is to make a vertex group for the whole rest of the model and only shrinkwrap that. Other than that, I'm not sure how to proceed other than keeping the toes as separate volumes and just hiding the clipping somehow. Any tips?

>>858325

sorry if I misunderstood the problem, but shrinkwrap shouldn't have issues with joined overlapping meshes. maybe your modifier settings are off or the points are too far from the highpoly (use snapping)
I suggest doing alternate toes separately, then you join the two retopoed meshes and merge the vertices.

The problem with your water wheel is not that it's backwards (it isn't), but that your design simply doesn't hold water. The second the water hits those panels, it's all just going to go pouring straight down through all those gaps and open sides and impart very little of its kinetic/potential energy into the wheel.

This would be obvious if you'd looked at any reference of a water wheel that was fed from above at that angle.

Looks pretty good, if a bit linear looking. I think the right hand pulling the slide(?) back looks a little awkward though.
If you tried to do that motion irl you'd be reaching over the gun or something. If you want to stick with using the right hand for that, I'd probably tilt the gun a bit more so the slide is facing more upward.

Some more work on whatever it is I'm actually doing.

Got my hands on a window parallax nodetree that works alright for my needs. The mapping for the walls and stuff is a bit arbitrary, and things don't just work out of the box, but I think with enough fiddling around I can get it working well enough for general use. One issue I've got no idea how to deal with is the material/shader only works on a single window in an object. So if I have multiple planes with the same material it breaks (image in next post). I've got no idea how to fix that one.
I also decided to see how the random window blinds work on it as well. I'm only using like 4 of the textures, so it's not all of the variations, but they're working at least.
To make things a bit easy on myself I'm using 2 separate planes and materials for the interior mapping and the windows, but ideally when I'm near the end I'll combine the interior mapping and window blinds so they work on a single plane/material. That way when I make a building, I can make everything how I want, and just say where the windows should be and it all work automatically.

Anonymous at Fri, 29 Oct 2021 05:38:19 UTC No. 858971

>>858969
Here's that weird issue with the parallax effect that I mentioned in the last post.
The top planes are all separate meshes, and work fine. The bottom is a singe plane with an array modifier. Though the same thing happens without the modifier if all the window planes are part of the same mesh.

I'm not really familiar with what's going on under the hood of the effect to actually fix it. Or even if it's something that can be fixed.

I'm wasting so much time mapping trimsheets on all of the modular architectural pieces I want to cry. I'm spending days and days on all of this.

Has anyone ever figured out how to speed up the unwrapping and mapping process for trims? I doubt there is a fast way to do it t b h, but still. It's just a dumb as a brick grind, I'm slowly starting to hate this job. Selecting faces, placing seams, unwrapping, rotating, positioning, checking texel density, iterating on a trimsheet and reimporting over and over again.... Horrible existence of a 3D game artist.... Neither is it creative, nor is it improving my problem solving, it's monkey tier work. Such a big portion of 3D in the production is monkey work normies wouldn't believe.

I have a hotkey for unwrapping selected faces/putting a seam around the border as well as a hotkey on gridifying them.

It'll always be a little tedious but using presets like this eliminates addon things up so they match on modular kits etc. This plugin will do however many rows of whatever pixel size you want as well.

Thx, I actually think I downloaded this years ago but never used it and forgot about it. Fml.

Yeah, textools and uv toolkit do those things fast as well, but it is still annoying to have to select and unwrap, carefully position everything etc. Hope this will help.

Btw, what do you usually do if there is a bevel? Do you apply it before trimsheet mapping (which increases the amount of work though) or just leave it as a modifier which will apply after the trim and some stretching on the corner is ignored? I kinda do both. If I’m lazy, I do the second option, but I actually don’t know what would be the “correct” approach.

it might be worthwhile doing boolean unions between the curves using a CAD/NURBS software, then depending on how high res you want it to be to use either autroremesher (https://github.com/huxingyi/autoremesher) or a pirated copy of zbrush w/ zremesher. I took the lazy route and just decimated the shit out of the curves and used them as is w/ a smartUV project.

Another way to do it is to lower the preview resolution for your curve's mesh, and manually delete the edgeloops, or run autoremesher on each exported curve mesh individually

I didn't mind the retopologized version that came out of autoremesher but I greatly preferred the crisp look of the decimated individual strands.

Yeah, it's confusing for next idea I'll be more apparent drawing connections between form and function.
I'll explain the idea: The gun is more like a lazer submachine. It rapid fires until too much heat which then is removed using coolant gas from canisters in stock area. The gas travels through middle, around the barrel and is then released from these lil cylinders. (pic related in red)

>>859497

I guess the scale is bad. I thought it was okayish, but I'll follow irl references more next time.
side note: by my idea it's just a safety switch, the fire selection comes from the trigger action. One stage since fire, full action is auto.

Sorry I'm a bit acoustic with this gun stuff, but if I were to present the renders/concept on like artstation what would be a good way of story telling this? Through animation in gifs, diagram images or should I just rely on image to tell the story and not be too complex with idea behind design?

How would that make a difference?
I'm not trying to be snarky, I'm just curious.

Not sure what you mean by applying the material after the array, since it really shouldn't matter when I put the material on it.
Just in case you meant the modifier....
If I apply the modifier it's still all one object. I'd have to go into it and separate all the planes into their own objects/meshes. Which ends up with the correct result like the planes on top, but then it's kind of useless for what I envision.
I'd like to be able to make a single floor of a building, assign the materials to the window, and use an array modifier to make it into a skyscraper. If the material doesn't work right in an array, it's not really all that useful.
I could have the windows be their own individual meshes, sure, but on the scale of an entire city it'll add up. Probably not by much, but still.

this is more of a blender problem because it doesn't have any good remeshers built in but you can see he's very rough in places in terms of surface detail.

The best way to deal with this in sculpting is actually to touch it as little possible, using zremesher or an automatic remesher once you get to a certain stage and then letting the subdivision keep the surface smooth and only touching it for details you need to sharpen (and only using the move brush on the lowest subdivision) to keep the surface clean.

There is a version of zremesher for blender called "quad remesher" but it's paid and blender sux at working with subdivisions anyway so this is a soft recommendation to consider zbrush, people often bring up its high poly performance and assume it's only more useful for realistic stuff but it couldn't be further from the truth it's actually much better at stylized too because of features like that that help you get the ultra smooth sculpts.

Not sure what you mean. Could you elaborate?

A few posts back I floated the idea of having anons contribute to an interactive /wip/. Where generous anons would submit models (and work in progress stuff of course), and I'd put them in a remade /wip/ image, in Unreal Engine. Then anons could walk around in it and see what everyone made.
I'm not super skilled with UE, but putting a first person controller in there and putting in some models should be simple enough.

I didn't get any responses to it, so I figured people weren't interested in that idea.

If you’re thinking 3D print you have to think physical paint, the tail will be a pain and look off, just some lines along the tail will look much better when painting it as you’ll be able to just apply some wash and have the maximum effect with minimum work.

My sculpting/modeling goals are set for game deving so since I'm supposed to retopologise my models on top of my sculpt, I don't really care about some surfaces being rougher than others.
But you're right, Blender definitely has its issues. It crashed 3 times on me and the resolution management is very vague & laggy (I'm a beginner so the problem might come from me). I downloaded Zbrush but I tried several times but I can't fucking stand that interface. I hated every second I spent looking at it. And since I'm modeling, rigging and animating in Blender, I don't really have the motivation (or need) to move to Zbrush honestly.

alright this isn't a good tool by any stretch. it does meet some goals:
>no highpoly, normals transferred from a voxelized cage to avoid banana hair
>only welds vertices along parallel edge loops so it mostly keeps the geometry intact
>no unwrap, UVs from curves make it easy to apply texture

to be honest there's no reason you can't sculpt+unwrap the boolean soup and then bake normals, I'm just being extremely lazy. the unwrap doesn't even have to be good since you can keep the other UV channel for texturing.

>No CG confession thread up atm so:

Spent half a day figuring out why a custom worldspace normal shader I created for unity rendered incorrectly.
Started to question everything I thought I knew inside out about this before eventually realizing I had just mistakenly
swapped the tangent and the binormal(aka bitangent) around by confusing which controlled which channel.

I like how the nodesystem in shadergraph doesn't require half a day reading up on what cginclude has the
parts you need whenever you need to make a custom shader and haven't touched it for a while and forgotten where everything is .
But damn, node systems really can make things difficult to suss out.

Left hand shouldn't pause after the mag toss. This guy's on a battlefield, not chilling out at the firing range. The hand's pose is fine, but I'd try to keep the motion more or less constant.

Other than that, small detail, this looks great.

Actually, even with that small detail, it still looks great. If you actually want to make a game, this is MORE than good enough for you to work with until you're giving it final post-production polish.

Stop animating and start coding.

I don't use the software but it'd make sense that applying the array after the material being applied would copy the properties of the original material (ie. camera perspective), while applying after the array to each object will give them their own unique properties.

Anonymous at Sat, 6 Nov 2021 21:07:31 UTC No. 860489

>>860480
You don't really "apply" materials in Blender, you just assign it to a slot and all the properties of that material are shared/linked across all objects that have that material.

The thing about applying the array modifier, is that each of the duplicates don't become their own meshes with their own data, they're essentially joined with the original object to make a single object. You have to go in manually and separate them into individual objects.
When you do that, the effect works fine.
Here's the .Blend file if anyone wants to take a crack at it.

https://files.catbox.moe/tuchrk.blend

I did find out something interesting while setting it up. Seems that what's fucking things up is the origin. When the origin isn't dead center on the window it messes up. Which means that when using an array, the origin is only on one of the windows, not all of them.

Well that doesn't directly fix the issue, since the end goal was just setting the material on the windows of existing building meshes (so if they didn't work in an array, they wouldn't work on a building), but that is indeed an interesting workaround that makes me think of some other solutions that might work.

Mainly, using the Geometry nodes to instance the windows in the correct places. Just set up vertices where the windows should go on the main mesh, set those up as a vertex group, and use the Geometry Node point-instancing to place the windows.
It's not a one-click solution where I can just assign the materials to the windows and be done with it, but it's a better solution than the nothing I had to begin with.

Gonna take a little bit to see if I can get something working.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Well, there's a few issues with the GN setup, but for the most part the concept works. Pic related is all a single mesh/object arrayed upward.
For some inane reason I can't just use straight up verts in GN to use as points, so I had to use faces.
On the bright side, the faces should provide normal data to point the windows in the right direction, but on the other hand I'm getting trouble getting it to do that.
Works fine for 2 opposite sides of the building, but not the other pair. Still, it's an issue that I feel like I can tackle if I put enough time into it.
