Ditto. I think the hairless/short-hair look is a much stronger aesthetic and silhouette that complements the clothing better. The current model is not poorly executed, but simply looks... like a normal cat?

less than 350 vertices if possible. Im really fond of low poly. It makes me work on my texturing skills too.
Im still not that good however. Theres some other artists using less verts and having good textures.

consider doing some character sketches before implementing your models in 3d. think about a single or set of characteristics that make that character unique. pokemon or neopets are a good reference to this.

your lil duders are cute and promising but going just that lil extra mile will make them pop immensly!

The AAT was definitely a big source of inspiration, though one of my main goals was to make the design more sensible from a usability standpoint i.e. have actual sloped armour and gun depression. I really did pick the wrong kind of shape to learn modelling with though holy fuck is it hard to get the curves and slopes right.

Anonymous No. 874318

>>874310
In general, you want your quads to not be super distorted, to help with shading as well as rigging. If they start looking really crazy see if you A: need to add a tri instead or B: need to simply increase the density of quads in that area.

I see a few of these distorted quads on your model as well as some poles (points where many edges meet up at a single vertice) you in general don't want to have more than 4 edges meet up a whole lot (5 is ok sometimes when it comes to starting a new edge loop)

Also, your quad density is off. You have a bunch of polygons making up the relatively featureless back of the head, but very few, large polygons making up important features like the nose and browline. Add more geometry to the face!

It's not too bad for an attempt, and topology is really an art into itself, so don't get discouraged.

it's not from the alien (since it's FULLY MODELED and slightly modified so it might be a little hard to follow) but this is a much cleaner pic anyway.

I used the exact same topo on my alien. It's all about having the loop between the legs flow from the sides of the crotch, between the legs, and to the inner cheeks. both pics use the same topo, the bottom is low poly so it's easier for you to follow. The super smoothed out legs on the bottom right might help clear up the how

Shit, there's a tutorial?
I've just been trying to feel things out until it starts looking right. Had I known there was something like that it would have definitely saved me some time. If you've got a link I'd definitely give it a watch for some extra info.
I've just got a huge PureRef file with a bunch of images from old animes that I've been using and trying to replicate the style. Or at least replicate the "memory" of what it looks like.
Even still, the scene isn't quite where I want it yet. Still comes off as really 3d to me. There's split-seconds in there where it looks 2d if I really squint, but it feels more like an anime with shitty 3d effects than anything else.
I did come across a neat trick with the denoiser when I was working where if you give it really low samples, and heavily denoise it, it flattens a lot of things out to look a bit painted.

Tomorrow night I'm going to go through everything again and re-do a lot of the shaders and stuff. I was using Cycles since I wanted to project shadows from the windows of the train onto the buildings, but since there's nowhere that would be actually visible, I'm better off switching to Eevee for more creative control. I think that'll really get things looking better. I just hope I can still use the denoising thing in Eevee.

Thanks for this.
There's some pretty interesting ideas in there.
I like the bit about separating the mid/fore/background. I was trying to do something similar by having the videophones and train look hand drawn and the background look painted, but I think I need to push it quite a bit more since for one, it doesn't look painted/drawn, and two, there's not a clear separation.

I've also been playing around with different framerates on animated objects. The rain is on 1s at 24fps, the train is on 1s as well (since from what I saw, things that you see from one side are slid across the frame like a single image), but the car is on 2s. The thing about the car on 2s though is it doesn't really look like it's animated frame by frame, and just looks like a low fps animation. Not really sure what to do about that.

Pangolin is awesome

Mortar is lacking in detail. Consider adding a bolt handle or a choke or a sight. Also, think about where the rounds of ammunition would be stored and how they would be accessed. Even if it's meant to be a heavily stylized piece those lil elements can help a lot.

Anonymous No. 874794

>>874762
Depending on the look of the piece you are trying to achieve, if I were you, I would make the weapon more angled and crude rather than round. Stylistically I think the composition would benefit if gun (and it's mount structure) would match scaly-angled-edge style of pangolin.

Otherwise it looks really cool, keep it up anon!

good idea, It's tight on the pango so there wouldn't be a lot of space to store the ammunition, I tried something like a gun magazine but it looked a bit too silly and also ruined the silhouette, I think that top right is the slickest solution
>>874765
>I would make the weapon more angled and crude rather than round
as I said I'm stealing from Metal Slug without the talent needed to do so, the scene is supposed to represent the american soldiers in Vietnam traversing a pond or river, a round design would suggest that they are the good guys, but who cares really, I have to finish this shit by the 18th, I don't really have time to change the design too much.

It's not as low-poly but this tutorial is the BEST topology I've ever seen in a free tutorial. I'm going to be one of those fags that tells you learn to actually do it properly first, and then go even lower poly with it. If you're animating and don't want it to look stupid as fuck when it deforms, topology matters more than anything else.

The arms of the t shirt need to come down more.
I'd also take liberties in either making the chin bigger or moving the lips mouth up more.

Your nose is also too low look at the refernce in >>874215
were the nose sits slightlt above the bottom of the eyes.

Id also take another artistic liberty and make the nose bigger because once you are furher away from the character you won't be able to see the nose in a 3d space.

I really like it though man good job

Animation, I've sunk my time into since a very young age- since maybe 7 years old,, Making funny videos for friends family and myself. From 15-19 I was mostly focused on digital video- that is where I taught myself a lot about framing and sequencing and 'shots' and lighting and flow... I don't consider this my 'area' but I picked up a lot during that time period of self-teaching,, Age 20 to present I started getting serious about learning the bare metal animation bedrock foundation- building my knowledge and skills on top of my skills I had as a young gun. If you would like, I can give you a reading list, books which I studied from to learn animation,, Originally, 2d was where I began and wished to excel at- but I really dig cg and the workflows go deep

this would be really cool to get a list, if you wouldn't mind. do you find yourself trying to 'bend' or 'break' 2d rules you've learned at all, or has the 2d mindset only helped master 3dcg work?

I'm currently learning some of the foundations of 2d animation as a support to really master 3d, but there is a [unfounded] worry that I will drift away from an 'outsider' art style. some of my favorites in animation (like AC-bu) specifically have said they they minimized their outside influence to create such a distinct, creatively ambitious look.

Wow that AC-bu video is amazing, thanks for showing that. The thing with self-teaching- is that it is pretty easy to retain an outsider artist skillset while simultaneously refining your skills in what you wish to make. The thing with animation, for me, is to Make the thing move no matter what.... And learning the core of what animation means, what makes motion tick- with that knowledge and skillset you will be better able (more equipped) to apply yourself to your ideas that you want to bring to life. Consider it like an arsenal of weapons in your head; that's what a core animation skillset is like to me. Just a bunch of weapons in my head so I can execute ideas if I wish

Learning how motion ticks in 2d will help with all of it. 3d- mograph, stop motion... Just need to read the Good Books from the ancient Cartoon Dungeon Masters; absorb their skills; apply what you know, and never lie down to the 'correct' methods. Always boring work comes from doing things the totally by-the-books way. I say one of the biggest benefits from learning the 2d ways; it gives you a much quicker eye to determine whether something looks 'right' when it is moving. and it gives you freedom to warp something into what looks 'right', sometimes from the totally opposite side of the coin

I don't have to break any bedrock in order to get things in motion- It is easy to ignore the fundamentals as it is to rely on them heavily. It helps that I have a lot of untrained years of making things the wrong way, I'm sure- My ways are not gold standard... But Like a lot of people here say, all that matters it the end result and that you actually make something. Respect to anyone who ever makes something ,,, nothing is easy - most of our jobs is just to make it look like it is

To me, I think the issue is the eyes. Instead of using 3d eyes, you could set the hollow area where they eyes go to an emissive or diffuse white material, and use a floating circle as the pupil. This works a lot better for stylized characters, especially if they are trying to be anime-ish. You could also make they eyes lower, or the hairline higher.

>Started to name my meshes

Normally you just hold ctrl/alt/shift and click the eye within the collection, but that doesn't seem to work when I try with Blender. I know there's obviously a way to do it because I've seen people do it, I even did it myself. But I can't find out how to do it again and I've tried Google.
It's so fucking tedious having to click everything on and off individually when there's lots of stuff in there.

i sort of uncovered this mess out of pure luck, a guy from a groupchat im in found it while browsing the remnants of steam greenlight and we even got to play it.
it was absolutely awful, over 10gb of stolen models and other assets, random out of place shit and even the entire team fortress 2 directory for some reason.
im amazed how he managed to fit so much garbage in a single source engine game and make it sort of work. everything was terrible and nothing made sense, it was like an AI generated game but not really. he even has a github repo for the "sourcecode" (https://github.com/bmk10) , this guy is absolutely loony.

i feel kinda bad for him. when i looked at his steam group, it had only him and two people, and the discussions tab had like a hundred posts made by him that were just gibberish.

also his moddb page is just riddled with nonsense and pictures of notebooks, picrel

Stylized can mean an abstract mess, it all depends on the artists desires. The cool thing about your imagination is that you can use it to defy the laws of reality, and use art to show other people your imagination. Your imagination does not have to apply to reality, that is unless you have a hard time imagining things you haven't already seen.

I also don't think even the worst artist would ever consider depicting a skinny character with a fat shape, since they are trying to make a skinny character.

If you want to convey your imagination to other people you have to use a common language (nature)

>depicting a skinny character with a fat shape
This is about self-similarity and anons absurd posts that it doesn't matter. If you give a guy with roman sculpture features a flat bent nose. It will look like he got his nose broken and not like that is his natural nose.

This the same as the golden ratio you don't need to apply it with mathematical precision you can just use it as a guide.

I think if they were to color the pupils and irises, and give the character some eyebrows and eyelashes, it would be easier to tell how good/bad their character is.

Self similarity is a rule you can find in all living things.
You can find very similar shapes angles and proportions repeated inside an organism.
If you do not follow self similarity it will at best look like a damaged living thing or have an uncanny valley look or at worst don't look like a living thing at all but like a plastic figure.

most obvious things I could find
where the pecs and the ribcage meet
lower pecs connecting to the groin looks a bit bulbous
for the thighs think about the bones especially the femur insided and how the muscles connect to them
the muscles on the ribs have a weird direction
either your upper arms are to short or your biceps isn't long enough
thumb is very skinny and long
palms of the hand connect to smooth to the arm
pits are a bit extreme
check your neck again
outer eye corners don't look correct
when it come to the mouth I am with>>876619

I will probably fix the pupils, paint the lip better as I missed a spot, and figure out how to do render/lighting in KeyShot properly. There is a weird white circle around the eye but that went away once I was in KeyShot so must just be an issue in ZBrush (probably because I pinch tooled around the eyes).

All feedback and links to tutorials that helped you as a beginner are very welcome.
