I gave my character some clothes, and I volumized her hair. I am satisfied with the render on the left, but when I looked at my character from a flat frontal angle, her face looked kinda weird, especially with no lighting in viewport shading and in the Unreal default scene, so I figured I would make her jaw rounder and cheeks fuller to give her face some more depth so she looks better in bad lighting. I feel like I did ok with the face changes, and I brought her back into Unreal with a sun light and better exposure, and I think her face looks ok at an angle, but I’m still not sure what I think about her face from the front. Does her face look weird to any of you?

Anonymous at Thu, 9 Dec 2021 22:16:04 UTC No. 868503

>>868346
Glad it helps. Really, apart from doing it compulsively, you'll just know when you should apply scale. If something starts fucking up in a way that just doesn't make sense, it's always good practice to try applying it to see if that fixes it.

>>868501
I kinda liked the old face a little more since it was less "human proportioned" and fit with the chibi looking style since it was more circular rather than oval. Then again, it is a slight change, and I probably wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't pointed out.

>Learn how to animate
This IS how you animate- You do passes on the motion, refining it more on each pass. Many CG artists believe that you let the curves do the work- The interpolation is really only meant to guide the keys which you place yourself. At least for character animation. And there's a point where you don't really need to see the interpolation anymore to know how motion should behave. My Auto-keys are placed as regular keys- non interpolated (hold, constant, ... a KEY in the traditional ((animation)) sense).
I guess it depends what "look" you desire too. But to any animators here, I know instantly when one has thrown posterization pass over interpolated keys- I'm sure any animator is able to recognize this. It is as obvious as seeing rotoscoped motion to me. No style short cuts!! You hear me?? Shortcuts all the way, its golden, but for your style that you wish to hold parallel to the work- Don't cut corners. Its the only area that matters, really

Finally have some more free time to work on this >>865295
I added some trees and stuff to hopefully make things seem a little more precarious like there's a cliff edge on the sides of the road. I did what I could to make the mountains stand out a little more, mainly messing around with the color and adding some snow to emphasize the silhouette, and threw in some low-hanging fog and stuff in the background. The fog doesn't really show up all that well in the video, but it looks pretty nice in stills. Which I'll probably do as well since some of the frames look nice on their own.
I also decided to go full into the rally look with the paintjob on the BMW, and styled it after one of the paintjobs the rally M1 had. The animation still doesn't take place in an "event", but the magenta paint just wasn't doing it for me.

I'm debating whether or not to have motion blur on for the final though. On the one hand, I like the clean look that it has without it and things read better in the background, but at the same time the version with the motion blur has some extra energy to it that really helps sell the speed.
Any thoughts on which you prefer? I'm kind of partial to the motion blurred one.
The webm quality is kinda shit (I've got no idea how to get nice quality webms out of the "webm for bakas" program), so here's a link to an mp4 version if need be. ( https://files.catbox.moe/5vxewq.mp4 )

After the next round of changes I think I'm gonna call it finished (unless there's some really glaring issues). There's things that could still use work (getting it to loop perfectly has been a bitch and it's still not perfect), but I think it looks alright enough, and I'm kinda wanting to move onto the next project. I've got quite a backlog.

looks great!
the question of adding motion blur to stylized work is always hard for me. I feel like in this case it'd be cool, it does make it seem faster with more action. for me it's often a framerate issue, at some point of speed you have to enable motion blur, or shit starts to look like it's going backwards, depending on the framerate. In the end i'd just render out both version, so you have both on hand.
I really like the speed lines, maybe you could emphasize them a bit more, then again I'm watching this on a 1080p monitor with two videos next to each other.
I wanted to get into creating some car sequences, are you using some rig addon or or did u rig it barebones?

Thanks! I'll probably keep the blur then.
As far as the problem of things going backwards, I've often had that issue as well, mostly with the wheels. I've recently found a solution with this project, where if you have the wheels spin at a prime factor of the framerate (a factor that's also a prime number), I don't have that issue. After that it's just finding the right factor that looks like the speed you're going. So in my case of 30fps, I had the wheels moving at 2 using a generator on the f-curve.
You're right about the speed lines though, I didn't notice before, but they do get pretty lost in the version with the blur. I'll bring them out a bit more, and the fake volumetrics for the headlights too since I liked how that turned out and it makes things seem "cold".

As far as the rig goes, it's actually all custom. I've tried a number of different rigs and addons and never got something that I liked that was "perfect" for my needs. While mine has some issues on its own, the most glaring being the lack of weight from the car itself on the suspension, it works well enough for what I need. It mostly revolves around the "Wiggle Bones" addon for the suspension, and then uses a convoluted network of constraints, parents, and other shit. It's at the point now though, where I can get a car model, drop the rig into the scene, match up the points where the wheels go, and parent things.

I've had a tutorial in the works on the rig for a while that's about 80% finished, but I've had neither the time nor the real motivation to actually finish it. Video editing isn't my favorite thing to do.
Maybe one of these days though I'll finish it.

Just for future reference, because I'm not sure if you know or not, or if it's even really relevant but, there's an option to turn on face orientation. Red faces should be inside and blue faces should be outside when you turn it on. It's in the viewport overlays and really handy.

Yeah, it's definitely in that long list of projects I need to finish. All the meat of it is done, recorded and presented, I just need a bunch of B-roll for the beginning when I'm introducing things and how it works. If I ever do get it finished, I'll post it up here. Figured I'd give people the opportunity to buy the complete rig for a few bucks if they don't want to (or can't) follow the tutorial. It's not too hard to follow for me, but I've got no clue how understandable it is to anyone else.

The special part is that it still doesn't matter much and the encode still looks like shit.

Working in Fusion 360 on a radial engine.

Feels very weird compared to Inventor and SW. I still don't understand why it differs from Inventor so much when it's both from Autodesk.

The mating options are split into Align and Joint command which is annoying. While the Mc-Master Carr library seems big at first a lot of the DIN/ISO standard bolts are missing compared to the Inventor one and lack the variety when it comes to fits and sizes. A lot of them don't even offer a STEP file for download and are only there as an ad for buying the real life thing.

Also, it just doesn't feel as fluid as SW and Inventor.

not him, and im guessing this is what you want:
substance, add fill layer, have only the Height map on, add a black mask to the layer. on the black mask that you created, right click on it and add fill layer, search for a pattern of an image that you wanna inprint on your model, like the honey bee pattern. now back on the Height map, you can now modify how strong the effect is. hope it helps.
and if you wanna have only certain areas with that pattern, to that layer you created, right click and Group. and then add a black mask to the group, add paint layer to the mask, and paint the pattern wherever.

The "review" process is over too, and they've decided to deactivate my account for ToS violation. What I've actually done wrong, I've got no fucking clue (they won't tell me). I make sure not to click shit so my account doesn't get hacked, I don't use any 3rd party apps, buy fake ass followers, or even use copyrighted music, in fears of something like this happening. But ultimately all that didn't really matter much since they nuked it anyway.

Instagram has 0 customer support to speak of, so chances of me getting my account back are next to none. I've started the appeal process and sent in a "mugshot", but I doubt it'll amount to anything.
I know I could just start another account, and 800 followers isn't really all that much in the grand scheme of things, but it's a number I worked hard to grow, and there were a lot of people that I really liked hearing from.
I'm just bummed overall. Not sure what to do now. Part of the fun was nurturing a community that was genuinely interested in my work. I know FB is a shitty company, and I know all the remarks about how I shouldn't do X or use X, but it's the connections with my audience that I'm really going to miss if things don't work out. I've got other profiles on other sites (one of which has around 8k followers), but the main focus was going to my Insta since it was the most "normie" of them and was less niche. Which meant a more general audience.

As far as reposting things from large accounts, it's hardly worth it though. I've had it happen and maybe only get 1% of clickthrough to actually see my stuff. For the people that post without my knowledge or credit, it gets hard to keep that shit reigned in. I get a few people from my Insta that'll bring it to my attention, but ultimately it's a losing battle.

Sorry for the blog post. Things just took a shitty turn and I felt like saying something.

Yeah I actually do try to work in my logo or name into the composition when I can (or when I remember to). Pic related "AD-20" being a hidden copyright, and the sign on the left being a play on my handle. Though those are less "I made this" and more fun little nods than anything.
I'm just not a big fan of watermarks though since I feel like it detracts from the art, and also makes things feel like I don't trust my audience. Kind of like DRM in games. And the only real place to put them, aside from putting them in the comp, is somewhere where it can't be cropped without ruining things and mostly that means having it over the subject. Hiding them in the art is definitely a solution, but you're also hiding it. Even if it's in a place that's easy to see, I don't feel like many people would be like "oh, that's the artist's handle", if it's integrated well, it might just be seen as something in-universe or something.


Really, though, I was just being overly cynical when I mentioned the whole repost thing. I do have it happen, but at the same time even if it was posted with credit it's not like I really get much of a rebound from it anyway. Plus I suppose the real thing as an artist is to be happy that more people see your work, even if they don't know your name.

really like your previous pics, think in this one the mids are somewhat drowing and everything becomes muddy.
I'd suggest trying to replace the harsh center light with, well, no light source and instead have the textures in a gradient, maybe with vertex colors if you want to be a purefag. It'd just make it much more readable and enjoyable.

Too late, sorry. It's already been posted around. I'll keep it in mind for the future though, thanks.
I experimented with longer/wider dust trails, but it was one of those things that made it hard to loop. So I had the car mostly cover it up during the loop points.
Since the car jumps from the bottom of the road back up to the top at the loop point, the particles reset. I could have simmed them a little longer before, but I wanted the car to follow the curve from 0-1 so the car starts and ends at the same exact point visually so it loops, so I chopped off parts of the curve before and after so that I don't have to guess if its at the right point, I'd know for sure since the curve position would be at 0-1, instead of some random number in between.
I really don't know if that makes sense, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't since I didn't explain it well, but yeah, I did have longer/bigger trails, but it fucked with the looping. Honestly if I knew that by the end the loop still wouldn't come out perfect, I probably wouldn't have cared and went with it anyway.

Amaizng work man, Reminds me of a fallout style dog the master would of made.

General anatomy issues are that the back legs are not going verticle then into a arch so push the ankle and paws back more

Try to get the skin to pich more on the gap were the back legs meet the body and make the butt push out more

The front legs ned a strong muscle that goes verticle untill it reaches the lower 3rd of the body then the sides go 15-25 degrees outwards

Push the chest out more, dogs tend to have this natrual heroic ready for action pose.

This should also mean to make the front legs and most of the front body be a almost 15 degree angle.

I am still experimenting with my style since I am new to 3d, and making art in general. I have noticed that I have a habit of not being able to look at my characters objectively since I become somewhat face blind when I am making them. I looked at my older iteration of the character and I was surprised to see how bad it actually looked, but I do feel like I made a lot of progress, though it will still take me a short while to figure out whether or not it looks like a Nickelodeon cartoon

Nudity combined with stylization isn’t something that is supposed to go together to most people (except with anime), but the reason I did it is because I take a lot of inspiration from expressionism, which has a lot of stylized nudity. It isn’t like the “non-sexual nudity” meme that academics use to explain to general audiences why artists love depicting naked people, it’s just that it’s not the same explicit and raunchy sexuality that is portrayed most often today.

Anonymous at Mon, 20 Dec 2021 17:18:19 UTC No. 871033

Try the following:
-Put some volumetrics
-Make the background sky follow a gradient instead of a solid color
-sketch a composition on paint or on paper (i'd suggest a portrait aspect ratio if you want to keep the demonic things silhouette on the red moon, or if you want to keep a landscape try scaling the moon down to appear only on the left and make the demon glowing on the right. Try different stuff)
-I don't know what the fuck that red smudge is at the bottom, scale it up or get rid of it

Anonymous at Mon, 20 Dec 2021 17:19:51 UTC No. 871034

Also:
- make the water reflect the moon's color. this can work for your composition if you bring the horizon further up.

That one is much better, though. You might have terrible artistic sense.

What's still wrong:
-the moon is off-center, presenting an asymmetry. There's nothing on the other side to balance it (I recommend putting the demon on the left, glowing by the moonlight, but that's up to you, and scaling the moon down.)
- the water is boring. Put some specular on it, try to localize the reflection on the center, perhaps.

Find some other pictures that try to follow your style and try to copy them.

That can work. Put the moon in the center, glow it up, put the horizon back down (since there's no silhouette there to call attention to it), make the reflections more localized, glow up the volumetrics and you'll have something quite similar.

>does this improve over time?
I'd think so. Just try to find things similar to what you're doing and analyzing them and you'll improve eventually.

Work on your UVs and try to get less stretching with your textures. Lighting will play a huge factor in the overall quality so maybe investigate solutions for that shortcoming.

The bones themselves aren't moving in pose mode, but your vertex groups are all named properly? Check their parenting or constraints, or that they're deform bones in the first place.

no, just the bone have to match the vertex groups that you make for the bones to reference to. give a few more screenshots of your modifier tab. check aswell your weight painting, you can do a quick check of bones by:
in object mode, select your armature, and then shift click select your modelo. go into weight paint, and then you can select bones with CTRL+Left Mouse Click, you can even rotate em with R and the other stuff inside that mode.

Yeah it was able to get rest of the model, but the body remained unposable.
But maybe it's because the first bone (base/spine) is fucked. I was actually able to do a full human model before (albeit shitty because it was my first) and didn't problems with the riggings. I'm going to practice animation like I intended. I'll try studying more later.

but I'll keep the advices in mind just so I have more tools in my toolbox. Thanks for the help as always /3/.

I think in the beginning it is important to stick to some kind of reference. Sculpting random faces well will come with time but if you use reference you'll have something to compare your work to, see where your proportions are wrong and where to make the appropriate corrections. Keep up the practice and always look to make each new sculpt better than the next one. That means analyzing each piece you complete to see what areas you can improve on in the next one. Sometimes these things come to you while you are sculpting. The idea is to always think about the structure of the face, the proportions and technical aspects like the placement of the eyes etc.
Tutorials can help a lot and so can basic art fundamentals eg knowledge of Loomis head proportions and Riley abstraction.

Yeah, I just did that. I always open up random 3d models and keep comparing them to mine, then look at what is different in my features compared to them, then adjust it till it looks somewhat the same as in the picture. I also watch alot of tutorials, notably SpeedChar's sculpting videos. Is this a viable way to learn? I guess you memorize how it actually supposed to be and overtime it'll come automatically.
All these people can sculpt perfect faces within 45 minutes, while I'm sitting for hours on end perfecting and fiddling every small detail.

yeah you'll get there. Just keep at it. This face looks ready to retopo or whatever you plan to use the model for.
Eventually you want to move on to the retopology phase - UV mapping - Texturing etc or just painting them depending on what you actually want to achieve with your models.

I just sculpt a random head from time to time, it's for practice purposes, which ends up in the trashcan afterwards. If it turns out to be good enough in the end, I add it to my portfolio. I'll keep at it then, 200 more sculpts.

I understand the spooky ethereal approach but you need to find some kind of reason to have some details in there that define shape and lift the image. Like some orange banners or golden rooftops or some black diamonds stuck in the ice or something like that. Add some paths or something to show what is going on. Some red bridges, some broken wall parts or something. If you take away the lil houses it's a shape that is super hard to read, all with the same texture and low contrast.

hey, im back. its been a while since i made something

heres a funny, more or less tragic story:

i got commissioned by a person today. it went fine for the most part, but then everything went to shit at the very end.

so i show them the finished model, they like it, whatever.
then i told them i was gonna hand over the payment link and suddenly said person has a meltdown, they start crying and begging me if i could "do it for free"

of course, i refused, i told them they were going to pay what that they specified at the beginning of the convo.
whats worse is that literally everything was planned out, they just had to pay for it. so simple.

then suddenly this person has a sperg meltdown, saying they cant pay for it because they're broke and they couldn't do it, begging me to do it free of charge, etc.
god it was so pathetic, i legitimately wanted to teleport behind this person and wack their head with a frying pan. i just left them talking and then blocked them out of pure spite.

well, i guess im a colossal dumbass. maybe i should have just talked about the payment first, but i don't really like doing that.
i even checked their profile before all of this, but how am i going to know this was going to happen?

anyways, im not even pissed anymore, that was just so sad and pathetic, guess i lost three hours of my life on a model im not even going to use... talk about waste of time.

well i guess you learn new things every day. today i also learned to not live with my head up my own ass, lol.

im very hesitant to do this, i mean im an amateur, i just can't really handle the mental pressure of knowing that a person paid for your service and they're waiting for it to be finished. what if it takes too long? life gets in my way many times, and you just can't really predict whats going to happen in the future.

there's not even a way to cancel it, they paid for it, and its my duty to hand them over a finished product. even i give them a refund, i still lost.

>>871333

sadly it's part of life to take on responsabilities. even ones that you wont know the full extent of the outcome. dont give a deadline, give an estimate an explain that it's not said and stone. (set on stone?, english me bad). and for them to wait. there are artists that are months without finishing shit. give yourself a % of your model progress in which is a point that there are no refunds, since you've worked a lot on it. maybe if you got to a body without definiton and the dude decides to refund, no worries since you can re-use it. your reputation wont get tarnished. you'll have evidences if people get too infuriating publicly. you are going to need to tackle pressure stituations like these sooner or later, or you wont know what to do when it really matters. now, gouge those furries wallets, make 'em pay first, if you ever had a paying job, you'll kinda feel something similar. that you have a task to make, and you wont get lazy. but you wont obsess over it

Total rookie mistake.

I've never seen any commission artist with more than 6 months of experience who didn't charge up front. Always charge up front, even if you aren't confident in yourself, charge up front.

Worse case scenario, you feel like you failed them and you refund them. That's depressing, but it's infinitely better than you getting screwed out of your time. Count yourself lucky that that model only took you three hours.

The world of art commissions is full of artists who will take your money and run. Or take months, or even *years* to get it done. The fact that you even give a shit about not doing that automatically makes you a better artist to deal with than some, regardless of your skill level.

wow that sucks
shouldve kept the line open though for when the retard came to his senses (if he does)
i'm not confident enough to charge up-front for a commission so what i do is get about 1/4th of it done, ask for half, send proof of the completed work (watermarked if needed or w/e), and then ask for the other half

protip: paypal has an invoice feature, use it
ideally have correspondence through email, or at the very least archive everything

I'm too much of an amateur to really be able to help, but I had a similar problem with something I had subdivided.
It wasn't as complex so I redid it, marked the seam, then unwrapped it, and then did the subdiv. Came out okay. Maybe you could try something similar? I know there's an unsubdivison you can do, but I've never used it. Or if you haven't applied the subdiv yet you could cancel the sucker and then do it afterwards.
I could be telling you the completely wrong thing to do because I'm an amateur like I said.

you don't
well, shouldn't
one reason people make low polys is because there's much less geometry to worry about
i'd say make a lowpoly to bake the normals down but judging by the quality of that cat im not sure if you're skilled enough to try that yet
anyways, for seams i'd say split it in half, one loop around the neck, one loop around the base of the tail facing backwards, one along the length of the tail, one around where the legs start, and one along the length of the leg facing backwards

Charge first, discuss payment up front, MAKE SURE that the client confirms the payment (i.e. "Is $100 USD fair?" "Yes, that seems like a good price"), make sure to state the currency just in case, and take a screenshot of the message describing the payment and the client confirming they understand (with timestamps). That way you can have it if they try to pull that shit.

In most cases, I don't charge up front, but I do charge half for every job at the start before I even touch the mouse. That way the client is financially invested to have it finished. Sunk-cost fallacy is a real winner, they've already paid to start it, so they might as well see it to completion or they've just wasted their money.
Of course, this also goes without saying, don't send the final files until payment is in your account.

Assuming the mesh is fully symmetrical.

Delete 1 half, Split that new half into 2 peices, Front and back.

Start applying seams down the legs, neck etc untill you start getting a usable UV map.

Once you have a workable UV map just do a similar method to the back then resamble the peices into a single and use the mirrior modifer
