And before I forget, merry Christmas my dudes.
Even if you don't celebrate it, I hope you all have a good time doing whatever it is you're doing.
And if you're one of those dudes that does, but are stuck at home, or don't have anyone, I can't exactly make that better, but hopefully the wip image gives you a little bit of something fun to look at.

Speaking of which, I had totally meant to add snow to the image, but completely forgot until just now. My bad, guys.

No, don't do that. Focus on one area first - do you know what you wanna do, AND in which industry? Product renders for marketing? Environment art for games? Props for movies and games?

Quality over quantity. I'm an environment artist, so I can say in this case you should focus on one environment at time and get it looking good. It may took a month, it may took 3 or 4. Use as much time as you need, just make it look good. And if it's games / movies you're after, use ArtStation if you don't already.

Also, join some Discord channels, Experience points, Dinusty empire etc. (these are environment art focused though).

And don't just wait for teachers to teach you, learn by yourself. It's probably a shitty course and you're making a mistake by only doing what needs to be done to get a grade, fuck them. Your goal is to get competitive in the industry, not to get an A from some literal who failure of an artist who became a teacher. That was my experience in one and only 3D class I had in uni, it was fucking terrible and I surpassed everyone in the second week just by grinding Arimmus3D on YT.

I think the terrain might be a bit high poly, but this genuinely looks like something the PSX could feasibly render. It reminds me a 3D dos game running with a true-color renderer or in OpenGL. One of the very few authentic looking retro renders I've ever seen.

There aren’t that many studios in my country either, but that didn’t stop me from working for muricans and other worldwide clients. In this industry you really shouldn’t limit yourself to your country if you want to get better opportunites and grow as an artist. There are plenty of chances to work for worldwide studios, sometimes even fully remotely. But you do need to git really gud though.

the background is in the scene. There is a inverted sky texture to simulate reflection and the black plane is actually a gradient with opacity, I used it to create color variation in the water.
>>871712
I don't know much about ps1 tech spec, but I believe this scenario wouldn't work. There are almost 4k triangles in the whole scene and the sky has 1024x512 resolution, which I think is too much for the ps1 to handle.

>what did you render this with?

Blender Eevee because I'm a stubborn retard insistant on bullying Blender into doing something it doesn't want to.

The lighting is faked with geometry nodes and vertex colors to mimic gouraud shading. There's vertex snapping, too. A material shader crunches the color depth down and overlays a screen-space bayer matrix pattern over things for dithering. Most of the dithering is lost because I had to compress the hell out the video in order to upload here, but you can still see it in certain places.

Honestly, Blender is a stupid thing to render this in - it could be done infinitely faster in Godot, Unity, or Unreal. ...But then I'd probably waste the time saved by faster rendering in trying to port the animation without breaking something.

Step by step. You need to learn Substance Painter and learn it well. Pick up Unreal Engine (4 or 5). At this point if you want to be employable fast, you should probably focus just on props. There are plenty of learning resources and I suggest you join those discord channels I mentioned, you will find plenty of resources and like minded people there. You can learn from so much places, read 80.lv, pirate cgma and gnomon courses from cgpeers, watch tons of great tutorials for free on artstation learning.

As others have already said, no need to program anything, but if you want to work as a game environment artist, you should be familiar with at least one realtime renderer, Unreal or Unity. I suggest UE5, it’s the same engine as 4, just an upgrade, but lighting is easier to work with now.

Make whatever kind of props you like, don’t feel forced you need to do something that is boring to you. Things like various tools, machinery, devices, furniture, literally anything. It’s more important to just pick something that isn’t too simple like a can or a bottle, but something where you can show your modeling skills. Even though for texturing, even just a simple box of crayons can be interesting if you put enough texturing details on there.

Just google discord invite links for the channels I mentioned, they even have their own websites.

so start with prop modelling then slowly transition to making environments?

Anonymous No. 871910

>>871903
Yeah that’s the general idea. Keep in mind though that prop artist and environment artist are often 2 separate roles, but you still should get to at least a decent level with props if you want your environments to look good anyway.

I think it’s easier to get a job as a prop artist though, more opportunities as well.

Well, since my Instagram was deactivated ( >>869806 ), and I doubt the chumps over there will ever reactivate it, I figure I'd just cut my losses and start up another when the new year rolls over.
Figured I'd kick it off with an animated version of my logo (obviously I don't go by "Anon's profile" though). I don't think any of you guys actually followed me, but who knows. Maybe you'll recognize it.
There's some pacing issues, and things get a bit weird when the lines slow down, but I'll be fixing the next time I work on it.

As far as the new Instagram goes, I'm gonna focus on building it up bigger and better than before. At least before that one inevitably gets deactivated.
At least with the benefit of starting over, I can game the algorithm a bit more now that I'm more familiar with it than I was 5 years ago. I figure posting 2 times a week should be enough to seem active. Even if I don't have anything new to post, I can always repost old stuff with a spin, or some behind the scenes type shit.
I've got a pretty sizable backlog of shit from the other account that I can post, so hopefully that gives me a good buffer to work on new stuff while posting the old.

I'll maybe try to get a Patreon going too if it goes well, hopefully to stabilize income a bit. I've got plenty of 8k+ sized renders of my stuff for people, and I could do commentary on some of my stuff in vids or something going over the process, tutorials, and maybe give out some of the shit I made for Gumroad.
Thing is, I don't know really what to give out for the people that aren't 3d artists and don't care about workflow shit and resources. And the people wanting high-res stuff is pretty small. If any of you guys have any ideas to give to a more general audience, I'm open to them.

Thanks for reading my blogpost. I doubt any of you are really interested, but it's still nice to talk to people on the virtual basket modelling forum. Happy new year bros, here's hoping 2022 is better for everyone.

It's a baked simulation and a post process anim bp with spring controllers. The idea is that I can change the alpha of the spring controllers to handle transitions and overlaps between states. The alpha is .1 here.

it's not only for baking, the ease to create volumes and forms in sculpting will get you a more efficient way to learn anatomy and shape of things. you dont need an expensive tablet to sculpt, but you will need one. ive been using for 4 years the same cheap'o small intuos draw, and it has served me more than well. (its shit for drawing tho)
dont be stubborn, this path you are taking will lead to frustration and stagnation. besides, all the figurine anime industry sculpts in zbrush

not him but but sculpting and retopologizing is pretty much a lot better since you can just pull off details like clothing creases and among other things much faster.
it just makes things a lot better and its much easier, even to make things like heads
you can also bake normals from the high poly sculpt to a low poly mesh which not only gives you the details but also allows you to have a mesh with as little as 2000 tris look like a very high poly asset

overall i think it produces much better looking results and its just easier and more optimized

Grease pencil with lineart modifier.

I think it's easier to work with. Freestyle you have no idea what you'll end up with until you render, and it's annoying to modify. Grease pencil you can do almost anything, but it does have its own particularities (you better have it in its own collection and only enable it when you're ready to render).

Anonymous No. 872574

>>872568
Not that anon, but a quick tip about the modifier if you didn't already know, when baking it, disable EVERY layer except the one that you want the lines on. Otherwise it'll try to take the entire scene into account and tank the compute speed, or worse fuck your memory. I had one cache balloon to 40gb one time, and crash the PC after 20 mins, then I did the above and it took a minute and all of like 10mb. It wasn't immediately obvious to me that I had to do that, but I figured I'd put it out there just in case.

Anonymous No. 872576

I haven't messed with baking yet. Is that to make animations?I don't even know how to bake it, I'll have to look it up.

And by disable, do you mean to hide it from view, or disable the entire collection? I know I had an FPS problem before because I had a line art active, but it was hidden. It took me a long time to figure out what was happening.

Yeah, if you want to make an animation with the lineart, you should bake it so it's not calculating it again each frame. The baking button is near the bottom of the lineart modifier. You can even do it with a still frame too if you want to keep fps high when editing, though obviously if you make any changes to the mesh or move it, the lines won't follow. Best to just disable the modifier itself on the line object until you're ready to fuck around with it. Disabling the object itself doesn't seem to do much.

As far as disabling things for baking, I just meant disabling the objects/collections in the viewport, you can even just select the lineart and whatever object you want the lines to go on, and do the isolate view with "/" on the numpad and bake that way too. The calculations are based on the viewport (from what I've experienced), so really just as long as you have only the line object and the collection/object you want the lines to be on visible, it'll bake quick.

OP here, I had played with the idea of creating a /3/ Discord, but ultimately I didn't think it would be that good an idea. I feel like it might splinter things here, and create a bit of tribalism that already plagues the board, but this time with actual names involved to pick people out specifically.
Of course that's kind of a dumb reason I'll admit, since it's already kind of easy to tell who's who here.

Another anon mentioned it'd be a bit of a bitch to try and moderate things as well. While true, if I did make a server, I'd just take a hands-off approach. Since there's no better way to breed discord (heh), than classism between an admin and everyone else participating in a community.

If there's enough support to make one though, I'd be willing to make a server. There's definitely merit in having some kind of space like that to communicate in a more direct nature in a way that promotes discourse (double heh) in our "unique" community. Though in all honesty, I don't really see how that really differs much from what we have here.

I'd like to hear you guys' thoughts on this though.

>>872634
>/3/ is slow enough as is
Yeah that was kind of my concern when I mentioned splintering. I'd be worried that people would focus on one or the other. Either way, it stifles growth for both. In the case that people flock to the /3/cord, they might not decide to post here since it fills the same niche, but if they decide to post here instead, there won't be enough people on the discord to really be a "community" and it'll be a group of like 5 anons that'll be too timid to engage with one another. Like being the first few people at a party.

>>872635
>will it be a place....
Ideally it'd just be /3/ in a different format. Anything goes, but if I had to step in, I think I'd only really do so for things that would threaten the server itself. I don't want things to seem like "I'm in charge here, fall-in", since that's what I'm afraid of with the classism thing.
I think though, that if people are interested in /3/ enough to bother joining the discord, they won't be there to shitpost (much), and would be there to actually engage with a community. At least since it requires a bit more effort than posting anonymously on an image board. Not much more, but still.

For the time being however, I'll fight with all my might, uphill if I have to, to not associate with the app and China.
I already hate social media with a burning passion, TikTok to me is the worst of the bunch. Nothing to me sounds the knell of society's downfall more clearly like an overweight nurse doing some retarded zoomer dance in front of her dying patients for some shitty views.

In all seriousness though, thanks for the tip man. I'll try to stick it out on IG and my other platforms for the time being though. TikTok really rubs me the wrong way in every direction, especially the format. If things don't pan out like I hope though, I guess I know where to crawl.

There are brushes you can find specifically for hair, or you can make one with a few oval dots, pressure to size, color dynamics, etc. Lots of ways to do it quickly.

To avoid distortion, definitely use a seam. It doesn't seem very noticeable though.

I was going to write a whole pragraph of autism but he is correct, just the old mans eyebrow muscle groups are massive so it looks alright.

What fucks you with large deformation in your animation is that you should change camera angle and let the face revert back to a nuetral before going into another facial expression animation so it has a limited range of use.

I've only seen this type of animation work in video games were on non humanoids in games like crash bandicoot, jack and dexter, spyro.

I'd say there are a few things you could do to improve your model, for one remember that an elongated figured will always be more attractive than having shortened proportions, so maybe try making the neck longer and more feminine as well as the rib cage, also narrow the shoulders a bit and emphazise the pelvic bones, very important in females.

don't forget the underlying bone structure, the bony landmarks like the clavicles and rib cage are very important as well as the pelvis, and the neck is tiny.

Other anon here. I don't think either image has "appeal" since I hate furry-shit even if it isn't porn, but that has to do with the content, I still can give you my honest opinion about the artistic/tech side.
I don't think the color palette is to blame, I kinda like/feel indifferent/can tolerate those muted more realistic earthly colors of her cloth and the overall composition of colors, but I can also understand someone who might think its a little bland/boring. All the fabric/leather materials look fine and appear realistic. Everything else looks slightly off/wrong. It seem like in all of these materials the roughness and specular values are wrong.
Hairs - way too shiny.
The nails/claws are also too shiny.
The neoprene(?) pants - too shiny and also too clean.
Fur and Skin - a flat polygon surface will never look as good as a real physical fur over skin, that's just how it is, but there is still lots of room for improvement. I just don't know how, but I have seen it. Baking real fur down and using some normal map guided anisotropic highlights might push it into the right direction, but what the hell do I know....
Also:
Way
too
fucking
shiny!!!
The revolver grip made from wood...do I really need to type it...?
Well, no maybe the shininess is ok, but still, it needs some variations in roughness, its a grip - the pussy is touching it and it gets dirty.
Do you ignore the roughness map completely or just fill it with one color?
>gimp
no just no.
Get better tools.
Seriously, you're not only 10 years behind by using a standard 2D program for texturing, you're using the worst of em all.
So you're a masochist on top of a Furry?
Why?

Assuming you meant the edge loops around the pillars, those were for the window trim, not creasing (the color's kind of hard to make out against the background, so my bad).
On the subject, would it have been better practice to inset faces for that trim instead of using edge loops?

I now noticed that there’s some differences. I made the body using Crocomire’s sprite and used his game manual/official art for the claws, but should I be consistent? I still have to make his bubbly skin, and work out the finishing details, but should I make it just like the sprite? Another thing I noticed is that the front legs seem fine on a 2D image, but in 3D, the legs wouldn’t give room for his hands unless they were oriented like they are now. Is this expected for sprite to 3D sculpts?

If your goal is to make a relatively realistic take on what a hairless cat humanoid would look like you're doing a good job.

Your stuff reminds me a lot of the dorohedoro manga art.
However, if you are going for cartoonish / charismatic 'furry' aesthetics, you need to increase the neonatal features and simplify things like vasculature and wrinkles. Hair card fur or exaggerated facial geometry to give the illusion of fur will also bring you more in line with this aestheitc.

Conker's bad fur day for the og xbox is a great example of very inexpensive hair cards being quite effective.

For a realistic / non-anthromorphic example, the hyenas used in the Call Of Duty games also use hair cards to great effect, creating a natural medium-length fur.
Also, since you are evidently quite good at poly modeling, you should experiment with the multires modifier to start sculpting practice. Sculpt in whatever minute details you want to start out with, then bake them down as a normal map on your OG mesh.

Been re-working an old file that I never finished last year.
Originally it was PBR styled, but since I've been really liking doing NPR-styled stuff recently, I've been trying to get it feeling like an 80s/90s anime.
I don't think it quite hits those notes yet, but there's still a lot to do before the project is finished, so I'm hoping it'll kind of coalesce and come together as the project nears completion.

I plan on adding a dude on one of the videophones calling someone, and looking a bit somber. Some parked cars, and one driving through the scene, and a train on the elevated railway.
It'll also be a small, looping animation.

It's definitely better. Though the cheeks look a bit chubby. I'm not sure if it's because they actually are, or the shadow is making them look that way.
One thing that really stuck out to me with the character in the anime is how fuckhuge her forehead is. Her head shape is pretty topheavy in the show, and it tapers off pretty quickly.
I think that might be what you were getting tripped up on with the long face in the first iteration. Really, I think I'd make the face features a bit smaller, and try to move them downwards a bit without changing the skull shape too much (apart from fixing the chubby cheeks).
Basically, just give the forehead more of an emphasis.

I used to think that was a shader. I noticed something similar in Sonic Unleashed.
I'm planning on using hair cards now despite how long that'll take, but I've got a good outline ready.
It just needs to work in a game, so obviously, Blender's own fur thing is out of the question.

>I used to think that was a shader. I noticed something similar in Sonic Unleashed.

It's a bunch of fattened duplicates of the mesh with a noise texture. The UV's and alpha threshold of each duplicate are shifted a little further with each subsequent layer.

High quality example https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/linster-fox-b779a15bb1f5441aab676306e3ded8e8

I've seen a unity shader that does it, but a shader isn't required if you duplicate the geometry yourself.

Overall issues are that you don't need the stupid bullets around the ankles and get rid of the weird latex pants.

Its cool to add neat features but what does it tell us? we know shes a gunslinger because she has a huge revolver we don't need more, maybe if you want something like that put a ammo belt around her shorts.

Hair is a clear issue, don't give a gunslinger blue hair it just detracts from the character. The hair style is ok but try another interation of longer hair and see if you like it.
