It's only just beginning!
As >>860744 said, I mentioned in the last thread that I'd be starting up the second round in this thread. The last one was getting a bit too full to really play around with.
On the bright side, I've upscaled the original base image, and extended it a bit, so now there's both more room for people's art, and extra resolution to keep things nice and crisp.
I even went a step further and made sure I converted all of the images into smart objects so they retain their source resolution no matter how much I scale them.
Should make things easier to rearrange later on so I can scale things and move them around without fucking up the resolution of the originals.

>am I too much of a newfag to understand ?
I ain't gonna mince words, but yeah, probably. Then again, not many these days really know the story. Hell, even mine probably got twisted by time.
It all started back in the olden days of /3/. Some anon posted a thread about his wip, the OP pic, and for some reason people just kept using it. Pretty sure the dude who made it originally meant for it to tie into World of Warcraft or something like that. The anon used to frequent the board, but not anymore. He popped in a few years back if I remember correctly.

But yeah, the wip image is a classic part of /3/.
It's been a tradition of /3/ since before I even came here around 2013. Plenty of anons and namefags come and go, but /wip/ thread stays the same.
After all, what's life if not a work in progress? Or somethin faggy like that.

I'm currently making a set of minis for a D&D group and it's my first time making something besides anime speed sculpts. For sculpts of figures do you guys like making a neutral pose first and then pose it later or do you sculpt in pose? Also for any blenderfags out there is it easier to rig and pose or to use the pose brush? I tried to rig a little bit a long time ago and it was honestly a mess but I'm not as bad anymore.

Once I'll be comfortable with mouth sculpting, I'll try to get better at making eyes (especially eyelids) and then (maybe) get to Zbrush and make my sculpts. And even before that, I'll need to learn Krita or Photoshop to draw my real designs.
So what do you think about the mouth? I'm going for the Hokuto No Ken/ JoJo/ old Manga with alpha builds artstyle.

A-pose then quickly rig+fix details with sculpting is quicker than sculpting the pose and lets you reuse your sculpt for other poses and such. You can absolutely just sculpt in the posed position if you really want to though, some peeps do it. Just a different workflow that can take more time to look good (minimum ~2x as long sculpting time and more time spent fixing geometry because you don't have the symmetry sculpting 1/2 for you)

>>861078
This would look really good with hatched shadows. Is there a stylistic reason you sculpted the hair on the top of the head instead of hair particles or hair cards? The noise in the facial hair really adds to the aesthetic.

That's kind of what I've been working on, in the background anyway.
I'm recreating the entire environment (and some areas you can't see in the image), as part of a bigger /3/ project.

The idea being once that's done, or close to it, I'll put a submission link in the OP for anons to submit models and stuff to be put in it. With the end goal hopefully having it as a digital menagerie in UE4 that anons can walk around in and check things out.
Maybe even figuring out a way for environment anons to have their environments/scenes as part of it too, either by teleporting into them, or having them as part of the scene, with the lighting and world changing to match when you go into them.

It's a bit of a grand idea that might not actually get done since I get kind of busy at times, but it'd be a fun collab I think.

When you say subdivisions do you mean the subd modifier or the multires modifier? Because the multires modifier is basically broken in blender last I checked. I’m also assuming this is so that there is enough geometry to deform with the rig and also on lowest so that it’s performance friendly. Also I like modeling in blender and sculpting in zbrush so if you guys have tips for a blender/zbrush workflow I’d love to hear more.

Man that gives me some neat ideas.
Maybe using something like a sphere mesh as an entire flock of birds using volumetrics.
Like you'd make an animation of a single bird flapping, export that as depth/height map, and then use it with alpha on a diffuse shader inside a volume to add a fuck ton of birds. Then maybe fucking around with the vector coordinates to give the entire flock motion.
Sounds retarded, but it works in my head. Doubt it'd actually work for real though.
I guess you could also just do the same with alpha planes and particles so you could get boid sim in there.

Still. I kind of want to give it a test.

it's not often I have to retopo clothing, granted my designs aren't very complex. all of these pieces are either an extrusion from the body or a subdivided primitive.
that way it's easy to get the base shape down, sculpt any highres details on top and reproject the lowpoly if necessary.

the contrast. I strangely like this, but the contrast is off. The highest contrast is in the water refraction of the fish, drawing my eye there.
What'd be nice to see if you can shift the eye of the fish a little so he really looks at the flower, and manage to structure the clouds in the background like a halo around the two to drive the focal point home. The water splashes obviously look bad, feel like that is somewhat intentional?
If not, spend a little more time on those, get more around the base of the fish, maybe also some ripples.
But the main problem is that the focal area is not working out. Draw the viewer to the story you want to tell, which is the relationship between the fish and the flower.

Deffo give it a shot anon, digitigrade bodies are pretty fun to model.

>>861981
My only critique is that the toes are just a bit symmetrical / linear (not following the 'U' styleline of a paw, they're more like ']' ) but that's quite minor and unlikely to be ever noticed.

>>862078
Nice touch with the specular highlights in the eyes, a lotta people miss those.

You're doing good anon. Stylistically consistent and clean lines. I recommend looking at face anatomical diagrams, especially focussing on adjusting the cheeks and cheekbones.

You're quite productive anon. Body anatomy is good from what I can see, but why do you sculpt all of your foreheads as dented in? Is it just a stylistic choice?

If you'd want, you could simplify your hand geometry. The thumb and index finger are 8-sided, taking up 16 Tris per faceloop each. If you went with 5 or 6-sided, you'd be much lower poly and could fit another digit in at the same poly budget.

It's likely just a stylistic choice tho to have a rounded cube/mitten look so ignore what I'm saying.

In all seriousness though, it works for me too.
Maybe something fucked up in the conversion, but I've been using webm for retards (or whatever the fuck it's called now), for years without problems. The bitrate sometimes sucks ass and things get a little too blocky for my taste, but I've never had a problem like you've posted.
To be fair, I don't know what you're using to play it either, maybe something is weird with that. Trying another browser might help too.
Then again, not like what I posted was all that neat anyway, so you're not missing much.

I also suggest converting some keyframes to "automatic" for follow-through e.g. the head rotation.
auto tangents can be weird but they save a lot of time and clutter where you would otherwise have to duplicate-offset-pushpose

The detail of the feet, torso and hands is done quite well. The arms are too short, but that is a relatively easy fix. I like the oversized zipper, but it could use a lil bit of beveling. The tail could use a lil more detail. The eyelashes being part of the same mesh as the head is an odd choice, but I can see it working depending on how it's textured. Overall it's a good sculpt, anon.

>>863247
I like how this model looks in the clay a lot. As for the animation, I think you may want to incorporate some degree of overshoot. It really adds a lot of life to what is otherwise a relatively binary movement. Good job so far.

>>863044
I think he could use some stylization on the gourd, like a oversized, tapered / asymmetrical cork and a string running thru it. The head is fine the size it is.

add a normal map that bumps each row of tile on the roof, but not each individual tile. it's a good render tho anon i like the aesthetic.

I already told you, your topology is fucked and your seams are fucked. Who knows what the UV pelt is doing with the shitty information you're feeding to it.

There aren't any major issues with the unwrapping of that mesh, other than the fact that it's a shitty mesh and the UVs are compressed longitudinally.

Grab the UV shell and stretch it already, and then leave it alone.

I'm a newbie working on my first "organic" (really semi-organic) model. I'm trying to model the sole of a shoe, but when I add a couple of loop cuts to add some detail, it creates these bulges in the natural curvature of the sole. It makes sense, since the subdivision surface pinches more geometry there, but it there any way I can avoid this?

Apply one level of subdivision so you get edges at fairly equal intervals, push in your indentations on the subdivided mesh (you don't have to add extra loops now and ruin the shape), add another subdiv to smooth it out to your liking.

Sadly, blender is not very good at doing this sort of thing non-destructively, so it's best to make a copy of the initial mesh before applying the first subdiv.
In max you can stack edit modifier on top of subdiv modifier and not lose any information.

You'll need to make custom normals if you want highly accurate anime-style shading. Check out this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EW6GBGlPEso

It can be difficult to see how anime characters translate into 3D. Looking at the anatomy of figurines can help with general form. (Note the hair).

I think you're on a good track tho anon, you've done some good work. It just needs polish in the stylelines and the finer details and you'll have a crispy crispy 3d model.

I'm so glad you made that rock.
It's gonna go perfectly with something I have in mind for the next OP image. Been wondering what I could use for the idea (from the wips everyone posted), and this is perfect.

Echoing the other anon, I think it looks pretty good. Definitely captures that wind-eroded desert rock look. Though I think some of the high frequency detail is a bit noisy looking, at least for how much it punches into the surface. I'm happy though that you didn't fall into that pitfall with rocks where people put copious amounts of edge-wear on everything.

it's probably not what you were going for, but they look like the airbrushed rocks you'd see in a model landscape.
for realistic rock the erosion is too uniform, and I think the sand should be grainier and lower roughness, it's a bit too much like dust at the moment.

I think it's a pretty good start actually
some details: skin is taut and should be lighter where the horns grow. might have to edit the mesh a bit or manually add occlusion around the lips so they don't disappear into a fine line. nostrils should probably have a slight reddish tint to emulate SSS. eyes will improve if you add an AO mesh (basically just a transparent mesh covering the eye socket that fades to black where it touches the edges)

relax the right arm, bow to his side- The neutral start will - You want him to ease into caution- You should raise the bow as he leans into smelling the air

further delay/offset the lamp swing. Its one of the few places you can bring weight, gravity, to this scene
>00:00:02:00
drop the head from the neck to pull back in a slower contraction from the sniff. Remember he is investigating- His cautious attitude should have tentative suspision
this might be a personal note, but I acted out what I'd do if I smelled the air- And I pursed my lips (closed) and opening my mouth did not feel natural while smelling the air deeply. Up to you and your character though
>00:00:08:07
The bow inspection shouldn't stop and go from each pose- Each turn should flow into the other - Try adding motion from the shoulder to influence this flow- Usually working with small arc motions from the top of the chain can add a lot of fluidity if you plan it right. But I also suggest maybe leaning the torso in, with slight bend,- forward and then back to rest, in and out of "close inspection" range while he fiddles with the bow
>00:00:13:23
Don't turn him back to neautral so soon- Exageratte this lean- Creep his balance further and at the last moment you pull him back to rest- Add in some offset to his center back from the lean and it will give a lot to the gravity (00:00:15:18 could be a could spot to bring him back)

then you ain't using the best practices

thanks- My eye is not that sharp. I'm mostly in the dark about what is seen as acceptable for shading errors. Always see people point them out so it makes me conscious of it- But not too weary to obsess over. People carry strong opinions on modeling technique that I am always willing to hear and make note/use of

Smol update. I think we're finally getting somewhere. I will fix the messed up tweakers tomorrow and maybe detail the rat if I get the time.

It's ok anon all part of learning, just try to handle the basics of normals and shit by messing around with loopcuts and whatnot on cylinders and cubes, then apply that knowledge moving forward. The more you do it the better you'll know/remember how to tackle those small problems.

don't really have a clue tf im doing with retopo, does this look like it will deform normally? there's like no references for 4-legged forms

ve been feeling really sick since last week, i didn't do much but ill make sure i'll add more stuff later

>>862544
i don't know how the porting process to war thunder works, but i'll upload all of the model content files over a github rep
and you'll be able to fiddle around with it.
id be pretty interested to see the results!

Grease pencil guy here. If I were to create a 3D model from scratch to use for VRChat or VTubing (Don't bully pls) am I supposed to create the base model as a nude? I want to make an avatar/model where I can switch out clothes, accessories, etc.

you model whatever you want people to see. if nobody will see it, you don't need to model it.

yeah of course. no need to detail stuff that's always going to be covered by clothes, but you want a basic mannequin to get your proportions correct from the start and keep them consistent

OP here, happy Thanksgiving to everyone, even to the Eurofags out there.

I'm celebrating with my family tonight and won't have too much time to work on the next OP before the thread hits page 5. I'll finish it up tomorrow, so just a head's up.
I know refreshing the thread on page 5 is kind of a self-imposed thing and it probably doesn't need to be refreshed that soon, but I figured I'd let y'all know all the same.

Cheers everyone, stay safe out there.

Working on an evolution of >>862754 since I had fun with that project and I'm not able to post it to my social media since the dude's afraid of it being "stolen". Figured something like this would be fun, and let me try out some ideas that I wasn't able to on the Jeep project.

It's early stages, but by the end it should look like some fun, offroad, rally drifting. The road is flat right now so I could get the racing lines looking okay, but it'll be on a downhill incline when it's all finished.
There's something weird going on with the camera at 2 points too, but I'm not sure what's causing it. I just bruteforced through the glitch with manual keyframes, but I'm probably going to have to go back in later on to fix it properly.
