the green fog at the bottom looks like the stinky gas you see in fart fetish pics.
tone that color down and give it some noise, alternatively just remove it and do it in post instead.

the lighting is too dark overall and not contrasted enough, literally just look at the 4chan thumbnail, you can barely make out the subject, that's your problem.

3 point lighting is all you need, but do experiment and pump the values up. it's okay to have shadow areas and it's okay to have small overexposed areas.

an abstract background can do wonders instead of a mostly flat color, just look at some illustrations.
the basic idea is that you have a lighter background just behind the character and a darker background as it moves away (kinda like vignetting, but not really). it doesn't have to be white/black, it can even be dark purple/slightly less dark purple like you have here. it has to be noticeable, but not too much that it grabs your attention away. it's a balancing act.

I kind of want to avoid having a city/streetlamps in it since the idea was more "rally-oriented" and they happen in more uninhabited and rural areas, hence the bumpy dirt road. I don't really want to put "event" stuff in there either like flags/barriers since it's not really an event (in my head anyway). Just some dude tearing ass down a windy dirt road on the side of a mountain.

I can try putting some trees and stuff in there though. I just don't want to cover up too much of the background since I like seeing the mountains back there. In my head I was kind of imagining the scenery around Pike's Peak, there's not too much veggies hanging around there. Still, I'll try to put something in there.
Of course pretty much anything I put in there would be zipping by pretty fast, so odds are they wouldn't have much of a strong form either unless they're repeated like the bollards on the cliff edges.

>>865315
I'm not shitting on you because I think it's cool, but I don't think you can tell the bollards are there to stop people from driving over the side of the cliff. They sort of look more like track markers. I think for it to feel more like a cliff it needs to have more of a steep gradient or something that the car is driving on. Like the ground is too level at the minute so it feels more like the car is just driving towards the camera rather than it coming downhill if you know what I mean.

I've never been good at explaining things, but like directly behind the bollards doesn't look like it drops off the way it would for a cliff, it looks like the landscape just continues at the same level beyond them. Maybe something behind them, for example, tree tops or something (I know you don't want to use vegetation), would give that illusion that it's more elevated. Or maybe it's just the camera angle and I'm retarded.

I don't really think you're shitting on me, I asked the thread for another perspective on it, and you're giving it.
But you're right, it's *supposed* to be steep, but because I had laid everything out flat to begin with (all the motion and geo is reliant on bezier curves) and then made it incline afterwards, I was only really able to make the difference between steps only so big before shit started to break (like I said in >>865295 ), so the difference between road levels doesn't really come off as all that big. I could make the incline bigger if I fucked around with all the curves to fix everything, but then I'd run the risk of losing the flow it has now, and it was a bitch and a half to get it. I don't mean that as a way of bragging like it's good, just that I'm pleased with it and don't want to run the risk of fucking it up.

The sides of the curves though, I'm not too sure how to make them seem steep apart from just having them drop off and seeing the landscape behind them, but I do like the idea of seeing the tops of trees from them, so I'll try that. Maybe having some vegetation in the areas between turns might break up that "flat plane" look that you mentioned.

As for the bollards themselves, pic related was kind of what I was going for. Since it was a dirt road, I didn't like the idea of having an actual guard-rail since if they would have bothered with that, whoever made them might as well have put a paved road in. I figured having some stone/concrete bollards would fit a little better. I do agree that they look like track markers though.

I did a SciFi corridor a couple of years ago (time flies, holy shit). I had to stop because my shitty GPU couldn't keep up and ran out of VRAM (2GB). Now I finally bought a new PC and I am currently overhauling all the bad pieces of the corridor. I modeled some more details as well as redid the textures from scratch.
This particular machine is rather unimportant in the grand scheme of things (pic related - the old version of it).

>>865302
I find modelling harder, because there is more to keep in mind and it demands more concentration from me. I have to be fit in order to do so.
Texturing is much easier. I can paint on 3D models when I am half-drunk, stoned and half sleeping (I usually don't, just to illustrate the point).
I spent probably 8-12 hours "designing", modelling and unwrapping the machine. Texturing so far took me less than 2 hours. I am not done yet, but it'll be not more than 4 hours max, that's 1/4 of the time I spent with modelling, and I'll have much more fun doing so.
What software do you use for texturing?

I kinda miss the ease aof use and flexibility of C4D's fields/mograph system and volume builder but so far it's suprisingly ok to use Blender.

A work flow will come naturally enough with time, and it won't really benefit you to work without reference if you don't have better knowledge of the form you're depicting.

I am gonna go hard on you :)
Substance is the best tool in terms of ease of use and general productivity, Mixer is nice but years behind, Mari is too complex and while overall the best tool for texturing it often feels like overkill and it is way slower. 3D Coat is an option but it feels ideal for stylized stuff and not as great for everything else.
I assume you not only feel annoyed by texturing, but you are also not good with it?
Listen mate if you want to get good with something you have to swallow your dislike down and just fucking do it (using Substance Painter).
Your dislike is just an feeling, its irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, do you accept letting a feeling stand in the way of your success?
Leave things as they are and you'll stagnate and stay miserable, go out of your comfort zone and overcome your dislike and you might not only get good, but also start to like doing it.
Been there, done that.

You can always export textures with the model since these are separate files, but in most cases you will have to recreate the shader and have to load the textures in again in whatever software you use. There are methods to bring them along with certain file formats and render engines, but often not, that's just how it is.

make sure your geometry is manifold (one contiguous mesh which is closed)

Start this by running a boolean union operation on all parts, or by Ctrl+J all the parts into a single mesh and remeshing that in sculpt mode at a high poly count like 0.01.

Then enable blender's 3d printing addon and run the clean-up/checks.

I tried something a bit more realistic. It's not finished obviously, I haven't played around with the render settings, or even some of the materials, yet and there's still more things to add. The gigantic park bench outside the window is just off the HDRi, it's not meant to be there in the finished thing.
The scale of some things might look off but that's because I kept forgetting to apply scale, or at least I think that's the reason. It's especially noticeable with the sofa in comparison to the height of the room I think.
I know there's more than a few fuck ups I've made but it was too late to go back and fix them by the time I realised.
I also can't find a cigarette pack texture for love nor money so if anyone knows where I could find one I'd really appreciate it.
But other than that, how's it coming bros?

It's about death. The big green floating face is "The Picker" (death) and the weird chess piece looking characters are supposed to be humans, scurrying in and out of the holes on the buildings that surround them. The Picker floats above and picks them off one by one while wondering aloud what their lives were like before squishing them between his fingers. There's not much more to it than that, really.

Technical critique (OBJECTIVE, this represents details and has nothing to do with "you" or "your artistic vision" and represents relatively easy changes that easily fall within your skill):
I don't like the hex bolts on it, or that you have one rounded bolt (like the real gun has) where the handle is attached to the grip area.
The handle itself either needs some tapering / rounding, or needs to deliberately be boxy.
The same is true of the trigger guard, also it kind of looks like on both of those like there's some artifacts due to ngons or something (maybe bevel settings).

This is stylistic / preference critique (SUBJECTIVE, a person with a different background, from a different place, from a different time, with a different set of culturally imbued notions of aesthetic would have a different opinion):
It looks like a spas-12 but wrong, as opposed to like say a steampunk spas12 or like some other semi-creative idea.
Like if you made an uzi and put the signature spas folding stock on it, that would be evocative of the spas but yet different.
What you have right now isn't different enough to be unique, it just feels like you missed the mark on perfectly recreating a SPAS-12.

If I'm wrong and you had some sort of concept that was "Like a SPAS-12 but not", then you need to take that concept further.
I mean Fallout game guns (which, despite often mocked for being mechanically non-functional, succeed at being stylized) will often have some sort of iconic immediately identifiable real world gun like a Thompson SMG and then add either steampunk type stuff, or like "we had to jury rig some parts together" scrap stuff, or like full on scifi stuff as if the people from that setting had super tech but still couldn't get out of the mindset of a 1920s gun. Details like that tell a story, and telling a story is a good source for generating both visual interest (i.e. cohesive non-random details, unlike "because it needs bolts" details) and viewer engagement.

i didnt really like the bolts too, i quickly changed that after i posted that image
about the "handle", honestly the folding stock was more like an improv addition, the reference image i made up didnt count with that
i just slapped that in because i thought itd give that look of a cool generic "combat shotgun" you see in every single 90s action movies or video games from the early 2010s.

>If I'm wrong and you had some sort of concept that was "Like a SPAS-12 but not", then you need to take that concept further.
it wasnt really supposed to look like that one, i mainly used a shortened KS-23 as a reference for it. the whole wacky quirk of it was that the whole thing was upside down, you load shells from the top rather than from the bottom like most normal shotguns, but i thought it looked too strange so i just used the normal approach.
but it didn't look very nice it seems, honestly i have a kind of mixed feeling about this one since i just made a rushed sketch on my phone while i was in a bus. lol
but here, it should look more like this

Well, it sounds like your frustrations are at the concept level i.e. having a hard time deciding WHAT to make rather than the technical level i.e. struggling to make the thing you WANT to make.

I mean you said it in your own post: you didn't spend a lot of time on the concept (a quick sketch during some free time) and then a somewhat core design detail, that would have informed a lot of other decisions, didn't seem to visually work (the reverse breach loader or whatever) so it sounds like you pressed on but started kludging things together rather than revisiting the underlying concept.

Assuming you aren't sick of the project, I think you ought to spend a day on ArtStation or some other site and just pull together a ton of different concept art by other people.
Maybe even just model someone else's concept art if it's interesting enough to you.

I mean you already know this but the concept art is the foundation; the better the concept, the better the final result will be.
The only time people get good results without a concept (like with random speed sculpts and shit) is because they're usually cheating the process by just remaking a thing they already know inside and out

If you need tutorials for Substance, their YouTube channel is a good place to start. I learned almost everything by watching their tutorials.
Also I just found out that the 3D Coat guys released a dedicated texture tool that comes without all the other stuff that is in 3D Coat (basically a slimmed down 3D coat focused only on Texturing).
I have just downloaded it and I am gonna test it out, its only 95 bucks for a perma license, comes with 500 PBR textures and there is also a free 30 day test version. If you dislike for Substance is still prominent, maybe you want to check it out too. I have also seen some cracks floating around for it.
Seems like you have more options....

Marmo shills are the worst, they never answer the question and only shill their software with literally 1 useful tool, and which costs almost the same as a whole substance package.

all of this is pretty good, but zbrush screens are pretty much worthless on their own.
>no wires
>no uvs
>no textures
>no beauty render
>no animation
>no nothing

look at it this way, someone looks at this and goes: "if I hired this person to model for me, would I also need to hire a second person to clean up his models for my needs?"
"I'd rather hire one person who can give me the whole shebang"

what you're telling your potential employers is that you might only be able to make some pretty models in dynamesh and that's it.
>inb4 it's not all dynamesh
that's the point, I can't tell!
no one has any use for dynamesh models, m8.
>inb4 3d prints
then 3d print it! show people you can process your models for 3d printing and print them successfully and you'll have a better chance to be hired to do models for 3d printing, even if you're not gonna be the guy in charge to process models. good resin printers are cheap af these days.
you'll find that for more complex prints there needs to be prior modelling and design decisions to not make it a slog later to clean the model up for printing.


besides, what do you think modelling jobs in the industry are like? it's 20% modelling and 80% retopo, fixing, cleaning them up, making uvs, sending them through the pipe and troubleshooting why the fuck zbrush decided to change the mesh point order and now the riggers are shouting at you. that's assuming you're hired in a place who can afford hiring modellers and texture artists separately.

the best you can do to get attention (from employers) as a modeller is to have your models animated (and rendered). this shows literally anyone that you not only can create good models, but that they can also be successfully animated and finalled, and by extent, the client's models for their game/movie/short will as well.
>but it's hard
duh
either get with friends who are willing to help you or learn to do it yourself.

Feels like the wrist is too thick and it's making the base of the hand too thick and then rest of it is tapering from there. Fingers are normally as thick as the rest of the hand and, in my case with my girlish wrists, the wrist is as thick as the hand (for the most part).
I could be wrong though, I don't know anything about modeling hands or nothing.

That's the idea here, I'm working right now on a full character, I've done a few game ready models and actually enjoy retopology and uv's but not enough to be up to the standard required to get a job I guess.

But the tools are not really the problem, it's actually the sculpting process that still takes a huge amount of time and dedication so much so that it kinda scares me, hopefully once I manage to get a job at a studio I'll have a better idea of how to optimize the workflow.

At least for me it feels like I spend a thousand hours before I can call something done.

Grip and lower doesn't go back far enough, I think. Maybe it's just me but up and left of the grip is a ton of empty space compared to IRL. There should be a little more "meat" to the receiver under the rear takedown pin. Adjustable stock's "fin" seems to go a little low like it's stretched. Maybe the sling swivel on the front is undersized, too; look at rear swivel vs front for size. But it's way better than I could do and I'm nitpicking looking at an AR for direct comparison instead of actually modeling one myself. Only nitpicks that have me scratching my head is the pitting on an aluminum receiver that doesn't rust. The barrel and any steel accessories? Sure. But aluminum? That and the magazine simply labeled "GUN".

It doesn't have near the "competence" of 3dGuy's work. 3dG's stuff is pretty ugly to look at, but there's definite knowledge of his tools behind it. 3dG knows his shit, he just walks his path because he likes it, and likes the reactions.

Other anon just seems like a beginner with some skillset (maybe drawing stuff for DeviantArt), but not enough knowledge of his tools to pull off what he has in his mind.
Not to mention the anon seems like an ESL. Maybe Brazilian or Russian, but China/Japan might be a possibility.

Forgot to mention you could likely get good references of that by searching "worn m16" or "battle worn m16" on google. /k/ might have some good threads about it every now and then, but I haven't seen a thread related to worn guns in a while (you could start one, though). However, you're likely to get extreme examples of wear on those searches as many of those guns were made in the 70s at latest.

Why? Just have a timelord skipping through time with the kidnapped princess and the protag visiting each period to try and rescue her.
Like with Mario when Peach is in a different castle every time, your princess is in a different time period every time.

Sup /3/. Haven't used Blender in ages, dusted it back off with the intention of making a model for this kinda retarded game idea I had (TLDR: 3D platformer thing starring a cute robot girl). I'm going for early 6th gen/Dreamcast stylings because everyone and their dog does PS1 styled games, and also I have a lot of nostalgia for that era. Anyway, here she is so far, obviously a lot of work to go. Body sections are separate parts, hopefully it'll be easier to animate that way.

i really like where this is going fren. you're touching on a type of character design that is instantly endearing, they fall more along the Ralph Bakshi/Don Bluth 70's aeshtetic that normies as well as furries like. typically normies have a (merrited) hesitation or disgust with any kind of furry media but there are a few types of character styles where it bypasses that weird fetish adjacent thing and people just find it cute and funny. kind of like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOQXZ88cXHs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZIj4KogluE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X54RaHAv6cA

there is a fairly untapped market for furry games that arent explicitly furry or sexual. i really think you have a winning formula here and you could lean into the serious, but also sort of self parody tone you seem to be suggesting. Yugoslav Ralph Bakshi game is just an endearing eye catching premise

im also making a game, i hope i see posting in the agdg threads more often too, i think you have a winner here

no there isn't.
unless you're funding the entire development yourself, normies would rather eat up the next cod, lol, fortnite or goat simulator rather than some unknown game with animal characters and furries won't give you a dime for anything that doesn't have dicks in it.
the era of spyro, crash, ratchet and sly cooper is over and has been for 20 years now.
it died the moment naughty dog scrapped their plans for a jak & daxter reboot and instead opted to make uncharted because >muh realistic grafics
ironically, the advancement of real-time graphics is what killed cartoon platformers. everyone jumped on the wagon of making hyper-realistic soulless shit to look "mature" and forgot what made games great.
stuff like the new ratchet games ride on franchise establishment and sony needing launch games for the next playstation, while the spyro reignited trilogy and the crash remakes add nostalgia on top of that as well, to pull in the hipster crowd.
all well received games, mind you, but good luck introducing the next turn-of-the-millennium-style platformer/adventure. I'm done hoping there's going to be one, I'm just glad I got to enjoy those when they were in their prime.

these games are derivitive of early to mid 90's anthro stuff like tiny toons and animaniacs. the vibe this guys yugoslav game is touching on is the grittier early 70's stuff that was coming out of american, british, and canadian small studios. there currently is a market demand for that specific style, i don't see anyone else doing it. a garuntee this guys game would have wider market appeal if he ran with it.

As much as I would like to criticize those settings, it's great that those people who are motivated to release generic stuff. It's hard to get a unique idea off the ground since it doesn't have any support.

It's an RTS, but worldbuilding depends on the execution rather than the concept. An idea can never be compelling if it's still in the rough draft phase.

Most games like Halo and Dark Souls worldbuild around their game mechanics.

ive seen it being posted in the agdg discords and a few other places too. you're picking up a fanbase pretty quickly, even though you barely post. once you get some basic environments or even some really basic cut scenes i could see this taking off.

Did a tutorial about generating geometry with vertex maps and displacement. Kinda lost track of time fucking around with the setup after being finished and ended up doing some random sci-fi bullshit concept art stuff.

This was the raw render, in case someone cares. I did all of the editing in after effects because I prefere it's non-destructive workflow. The glowy portal effect was done using the depth map, cranking the contrast and applying find edges and the stupid wanderer is just an image with an inner glow.

I really like how this looks. Comes off less like 3d, and more like 70's fantasy/sci fi art that's all painted. Your render has that same kind of "texture" and tone to it. It's a really interesting visual style you've ended up at. Hope to see more in the future!

Don't sell yourself short and downplay your work, it's important as an artist to try and come off as confident with any piece, even if you're not happy how it turned out. That's kind of how you start comparing yourself to other artists and/or developing bad habits that can negatively impact your confidence as an artist.
Not to mention if you have clients, downplaying things might make it seem like you didn't put effort into something, or you're not happy with it. In which case it makes the client seem like your work isn't as valuable as they paid for it, or that their time doesn't matter.
One of my professors told me a few years back "Always pretend like you shit gold" (or something along those lines).
It doesn't mean to be a pretentious artist, just put your best self out there and be happy with the work you put into something, even if you're not happy with the result.

I was no joke going to say that; looks extremely good, similar to TF2 quality easily. If the game came out, I wonder if any of the weapons or clothes would be accepted as a reskinned item for TF2. Fits the artstyle well and it wouldn't be the first time some crossover items were accepted into TF2.

I appreciate your sincere concern anon, but I actually own a design agency with two designers and a six developers, been in advertising and movie business for a total of 12 years now.
While I fully agree with what you said, I stand by what I said. After all those years you learn to detach yourself from your work. You judge it by technical merit and on what the client expects to see. Most of the time clients couldn't give two fucks about your personal standard. They just want you to get the most out of their budget.
That's why I hold myself to higher standards when I'm fucking around in private work. And to be frank, it was just that. I've spent roughly an hour on that image, it has some neat concepts I wanna actually explore but ultimately it's just a trashy sketch.

Now selling shit to clients is an alltogether different matter. That's mostly about understanding what someone wants and manipulating him into not wanting another useless fucking revision and being happy with what he has.

If any of you feel like being cute could you help me with this question since we're at the end of the thread anyway?

Oh boy it’s coming along nicely, anon. Actually making a chicken and my scales look like shit, this is a much better way to do it, thanks anon.

Working on the OP image now. Should be an hour or 2 (maybe 3) before the next thread is up.

Slug cat, definitely.

Could be that it's rotated. If you're using Blender, the dimension info in the right panel is based on local axes.
Apply rotation, scale it down, then apply scale.
No real point in applying the scale to begin with.

Thanks based OP I'll give that a try.
>No real point in applying the scale to begin with
I never found out why and when to really apply scale desu. I could never find a simple explanation for it. Like everything I do in Blender, I just wing it and hope it works out.

No problemo, hope it helps.

Generally you apply scale to make sure shit doesn't fuck up later. Especially if you're using real-world values.
Ideally, you want your object to be at the scale it is irl, and when you apply the scale it's at 1.0. That way when you scale it up/down, it's a percentage of the real-world size.
The scale also has an influence on things like modifiers and particle systems too, so you really want to keep your scales at 1.0 as much as possible if you can help it. There's times you won't want to apply the scale, but for the most part I'll do it whenever I scale something.

As an added note, if you scale/rotate/move while in edit mode, you don't have to apply those changes since they've been done to the actual mesh data. So if you scale up something in edit mode that already has the scale applied at 1.0, no matter how much you scale it in edit mode, the scale outside of edit mode will stay at 1.0.

Lastly, while I apply scale pretty often, I generally don't apply rot/loc. Most of the time you want the object to keep its rotation data so you can use local rotation and stuff.

this looks great dud, cant wait to see that esthetic in render
>>866929
wtf dud that looks great, ive known plenty that work in the industry that are worse, perhaps you need a contact to get in, or are you asking for to much? remember! there is no shame on starting from the bottom, beats fliping burgers.
what is your art station so I can add you? I would give you work but its a shitty 3rd world salary for modeling trash
