The dude that made that is a resident /3/ anon if I remember right. He might be able to offer up some useful advice if he drops in.

As for what I can offer, I'd say composition on its own is an important thing that can help make your scene better.
What exactly is your subject? What do you want people to be looking at? Right now the brightest part of the image is the window, so people will naturally gravitate towards that.
You have the benefit of having a framed composition, which grants you the luxury of having 2 separate scenes. Think of what's outside the window as its own image. What do you want the viewer to get from it? How does it relate to what's going on inside the train? How does it differ?

If you look at the image you posted, there's natural elements and deliberate compositional choices that lead your eye through. The house is the main subject, placed in a location your eye would first fall, and emphasized by being the highest contrast element. Next your eye falls on the path, which is a leading-line and guides your eye to the sea and horizon. You can go one step further and follow the horizon to the right, which loops you back to the house, and creates a cyclical motion that gives you another go at taking in the details and all that jazz.

If you can break down how images you like are composed, you can use those strong elements in your own work and tell the stories and narratives you want to tell in your scenes. Right now you just have a pretty picture, but you obviously want something more.
Hope it helps.

Just a reminder to everyone: art isn’t supposed to be a fun process, there is a long grind ahead if you want to be able to make something that is worth anyone’s time to look at, and you should avoid any type of creativity during this process because you might develop bad habits. If your models aren’t good enough to make money off of mass audiences with underdeveloped tastes, then please stop modeling, or at the very least don’t post in this thread because no one wants you here.

Not that anon, and I'm probably not right, but when you see those kind of PS1/mid 90s PC graphics they have a limited palette with dithering. It looks okay, but you don't need to look at it too closely to see the pixelation/dithering/whatever. However with yours, it looks like it has a much richer palette and you can only see the pixelation when you zoom in.
That might just be to do with the size of the image or something. You know when you save a thumbnail and it's a mess of pixels, but you zoom out and it becomes much clearer despite being smaller? Sort of like that.
I'm probably not right, but I get that sort of feel from it. I probably haven't explained what I mean very well neither.

What the hell are you doing.
Look at your own reference >>880226
Plug all your textures directly into the material outputs without any shaders and try to make everything look good and consistent like that, just with flat texture colors.
Switch View Transform in the Color Management settings from Filmic to Standard if you haven't already.
Try setting film filter size to 0 and/or render at a low resolution then upscale.

I did the pixelated effect using Indexed Color in Photoshop (Image\ Mode\ Indexed Color). This option allows me to limit the amount of colors in the texture. This give the “retro” feeling.

By default I use 128x128 resolution. However, it doesn't work well for everything. For instance, the sky is a huge object and 128x128 looks awful. So I had to change it to 1024x512. Visually it works, but not correct if you want emulate a ps1 configuration.

As light source I used only Skylight with no shadow. I turn off antialiasing and texture filter. The material is very basic too, I only use the diffuse map. Except for the water material, it also has opacity.

- for the ear the anatomical elements are there but they're all off, the tragus-antitragus plus lobe all are too forward, move them back
- the helix is also off, looks very weird from the front
- the eyes+cheekbone are off compared to the rest of the face, they need to be a little more forward
- you made the lips have a distinct outline, this is unrealistic, remove it

Not that anon but...
Obviously not considering it's gonna change your image to black and white by the looks of it.
Turn off the forced palette.

Indexing colors just means you're taking an image with (lets say) millions of colors, and removing most of them until it fits into a specified range of colors. If you've ever made .gif files, it's the same concept.

Your "colors" in the menu there is the amount of colors you can use in the image.
256 means you can sample 256 individual colors. So every color will be made to fit within those 256 colors you allow it to be used. Which you can let the program pick automatically, or you can "force" it to fit with a specified palette (in the case of your menu, you have Black and White selected). If your forced palette has less colors than you specified above (the BW one has 2), it will ignore the above value (256) and only use the colors specified in the "forced" setting. But you can always try and see how it looks, and just undo it right after (it's a good way of seeing if your palette works).

Aside from having the palette forced to BW in your image (which you shouldn't), 256 colors is actually probably too much for your texture there. As I doubt it even has 256 to begin with (or is already indexed to 256). Indexing to something like 128 might give you better results with that specific texture.

A rule of thumb is to just look at how many primary colors are in a given texture (yours has 4, red, white/cream, dark blue and light blue), and aim for something a bit higher than that. Sticking to powers of 2 tends to help too (2,4,16,32,64, etc.) and just aim for the next highest power that fits within the range of primary colors.
So since you have 4 primaries, try 16 for the amount of colors. Then go up if it doesn't look right.

I've been struggling to do PS1 graphics forever so I can't help you there, but from a compositional perspective:
Camera needs to be higher and a little further back. Scene's too claustrophobic, and if the ocean is the focus of the scene you ought to be able to see more of it. Otherwise the empty sky is the focal point.

The cabin window needs an actual window. Looks like a television screen otherwise; the window will give the illusion of depth.

Do you need the beveled edges to the window? It contrasts with the boxy seats.

If I were doing this I wouldn't even be doing wide screen. 4:3 is authentic, and it'll make the scene cozier and more intimate than sparse, even a bit cold. But that's just me.
Similarly the cabin window might be a tad too wide.

Lastly, you might be modeling too much. If the scene is a still shot, then the ocean should be a simple animated texture (there are tutorials on YouTube on how to do this). Similarly, the windowsill itself would also be just a texture, rather than a fully modeled out scene. In the old days what they'd do is fully model it out and then use the rendered image as the texture for flat surfaces. While there's no longer any technical reason to do this anymore, there's an aesthetic advantage to this by creating a certain distance between the viewer and the environment everybody calls just SOUL on here. In general though you should think carefully about what needs to be modeled and what doesn't. The plane, for instance, might be more effective as a texture (and as the other anon said, it should be further away and less active)

...its a good level! you should keep in mind that when you use this item in a scene, the details vanish very fast and comepte with all the other things around it - the human eye will not see anything that is maybe missing in the vast amounts of details.

I'm not really sure. A folded newspaper on the seat? The satchel gives me that "university professor" feel so a closed umbrella standing up against the seat? An overcoat or something draped over the back?
I'd probably add the newspaper. I don't think I've ever been on a train that didn't have a newspaper left behind on a seat.
If you added one of those tables that separates seats that you sometimes get then you could add more stuff on that that you wouldn't find on a seat (teacups, playing cards [who plays cards against a cat?], or whatever). I've tried to show you what I mean, albeit using paint, with pic related but you'll obviously have yours to scale and with the right perspective, the downside to that is that it would cover your plug sockets.

Note: You probably shouldn't take my advice. The phrase "less is more" is always lost on me and scenes I make end up convoluted with far too much going on.

Look up how to rig if you want to animate the ears, otherwise if you want to keep her static use proportional editing. To rig digitigrade legs, the calve is the very little short bit, and the rest of the leg is basically an extended foot, with the bottommost bit being the toes.

one thing I would critique is the texture of the hair. It's more smooth and "gel-like" in the show.

But I think using that specific grainy texture is interesting on the eyelashes and iris- I'll even go as far to say that it looks better than the original source material.

I really like where this design is going. That being said, I think either the head is too wide, or the face is too small. I also think the height of the hair makes the character look like her forehead is really tall.

It's on offset. Like I say I've even tried changing all of those options and none of them seem to work.
When I do mine it's like the vertices slide apart the more it bevels, but on the video they seem to stay the same distance. I've tried increasing the segments too and that makes no difference either, I still get that funky shit going on.

Alt A, apply the scale of your object. You probably scaled it in object mode instead of edit

Anonymous at Tue, 8 Feb 2022 22:28:51 UTC No. 881103

>>881097
Maybe try: Object Mode>select your object>Object>Apply>Scale (or All Transforms)

The issue is likely that you scaled the object outside of edit mode, and edits that are made in object mode are applied after edit mode, so the bevel gets applied first, then the entire object gets scaled according to its object mode transform.

Any time something doesn't work as expected, it's either because you need to apply the scale or rotation. If ever in doubt, apply scale/rot, and if it doesn't work after that, THEN go onto public forums to ask for help.
Applying scale/rot is like un-plugging and plugging something in, in that it fixes like 90% of weird issues. It's just important to understand why you might not want to apply them in certain cases.

First ever humanoid model I've ever created [forgive the off-screen pics, originally just wanted to show the gf]. I started learning Blender a month ago and I'm still tweaking it, but I got the base shape, shoulder plate, and textures down, so I'm happy with it for now. But I can definitely see areas I need to fix up. Going for a low poly late-SEGA-Saturn or DS game look, heavy inspiration from Burning Rangers and FF8 character models.

I mean, I like that general direction of shading and have been thinking about making something like this for some time, but there's a clear gap in the shader styles in 3D smut people make and consume.
Roughly speaking, you have (trying-to-be-)realistic PBR (from stuff like TLoU to photorealism attempts), stylized PBR (think Overwatch, Pixar/Disney), and then attempts at anime-like cel shading (BotW, GI, RWBY, stuff made in Koikatsu, probably most of MMD stuff).
It's unlikely no one has tried to make porn with this style of shaders before (which potentially should work pretty well with stylized PBR models at least), and one possibility is that most people simply don't like this style and/or don't find it fappable.

I got told a while ago to apply scale and rotation if things weren't going as they should be, but for some reason I didn't even think about doing it to a plane. I'd made something just before I started the phone and I even applied scale to that to fix something with it. I can't believe I didn't think to do it with a plane.
>Applying scale/rot is like un-plugging and plugging something in
That's a good way for me to remember it.
>It's just important to understand why you might not want to apply them in certain cases
Could you give me an example of when this would be the case? I don't want to run into this problem further down the road and shit up any threads by asking why X isn't working after I've applied scale and rotation when it's the only thing I shouldn't have done.

I wasn't being sarcastic, I think what you have is pretty neat. It'd definitely get someone going if they're really into the underlying form. What you've got is like when you cover up a female model to be glossy (for that oiled look), but in the opposite direction. Where the forms aren't accentuated by the specular highlights, but instead the interplay between light and shadow and your clamped falloff between them.
In other words, I like it. I'm sure there's others that do too.

I'd tinker around with the stippling a bit though. In some places it comes off as very heavy freckles. Generally stippling isn't a uniform density, and instead gets denser in heavily shadowed areas, and less dense in lighter areas. Though I've dabbled with stippling before, and I wasn't too sure how to get that to work. Maybe you'll fare better than me.

>>881195
>Could you give me an example of when this would be the case?
Not off the top of my head, no.
Armatures and rigging would probably give you issues if you had made one scaled to a certain size (or forgot to apply scale), and then animated it or put constraints on it. Then if you had tried to apply transforms, it could break the constraints in a way that could be a pain in the ass to fix.
Not applying scale on really big objects also helps a bit with procedural textures, since you don't have to use fuckhuge numbers too.
Honestly you'll just run into something that will break when you apply transforms, mostly from not applying them in the first place and continuing on. Sorry I couldn't give a better example.

For underwater scenes, I would usually say add more flora and fauna, but given the context, there wouldn't be any.

The only other thing I would try would be to add glossiness to the material for the water, subdivide the surface, deform to add waves then put a light source shining from above. Ripples in the surface of water create fluctuations of light underwater.

Also, I've been looking everywhere for a decent model of the AAA wunder. Where did you find yours?

Assuming that those two side thrusters are meant to be for the RCS, you should probably allow them to rotate significantly more. And of course add more of them as you make the ship longer. If they're meant to provide VTOL-capability on a planet, they are probably too small compared to the main engine, since 1g of thrust from them would mean far more from that huge main engine, i.e., going full thrust would pretty much kill the passengers with g-forces.

I think it looks nice overall, though.

Not much to be completely honest, no offence, EXCEPT for the 3 little fellas in the middle row, on the left. Of the three the most left one (the one with the light violent/pink skin) is the coolest: the head shape makes the creature distinct and visually pleasing, the color scheme between clothes and skin is spot on, and the clothes' design is cool too what with the lil' cape there. The brown skinned creature is also cool, has a good color scheme; the middle one on the other hand I don't like for the skin color. That black with the golden stripe thingies, ehhh not my style tbqhwy. I do like the overall shape of the little fellas though, visually interesting

Not that anon, but unwrapping is pretty simple once you understand the basics.
Most hard surface (and even characters), are unwrapped like cylinders or cubes. You might pick and choose where to have seams or not (for contiguous islands), but ultimately if you know how to unwrap a boxy object and a cylindrical object you're like 50% of the way there.
And yeah, you'd go piece by piece for something like this.

I'm not aiming to perfectly recreate PS1 shit, what I'm referring to more specifically is faking dithering, wobbly pixels, etc. I'm far more interested in the texture of PS1/dreamcast games than the specific modeling. I'm hoping the shading might better "glue" anime-ish models and pixelated environments,

There are a lotta user-made shaders and tools for unreal that've figured it out:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKXXF5FKa5k

For whatever reason, it's more difficult to do this in blender, as far as I can tell at least. Lopsec is making PS1 shaders for blender, but from my experience they don't work too great

Bros you have to bear with me here. I know it's like firefly city but that's just because it's a test render and if I start cranking things my computer will probably explode.
I tried to keep things to scale but some things went a bit fucky so I had to do them by eye, which looks like a mistake in hindsight because I see the errors now. I know I still need to texture a lot of things and some things are missing that I haven't made yet (including that fucking phone that I asked for help with because I ran into a boolean issue and deleted the whole thing, I'll probably do that when I get back tonight).
I can see most of my mistakes, but if anyone wants to point out something please feel free.

I could be more specific on here, but when I say "PS1" I feel like everybody gets generally what I'm talking about.

Megaman Legends has been a good reference for moving towards cell-shading. It's interesting how influential it's become among the low-poly scene: the game looks like total dogshit compared to, say, Metal Gear Solid. I myself am fucking terrible at texturing things, so what's nice about looking at the PC98 shit is how few objects or surfaces have any notable texturing at all, it's all just shadowing. The question is how to mimic it in 3D without it looking too cartoony, like your typical cell-shaded game.

Looks cool. Depending on what sort of poly count you want in the end, you could call it done, and add your details in textures.

The easiest way to figure out what sort of details to add is to think about the function this robot might serve, how this robot was physically assembled, how it is maintained, how it actually works, what cools it, what fuels it, what considerations might be made for weight reduction. Imagine you are engineering this thing for real and it will all come to you.

Or you can be a no talen hack and just select some face here and there and greeble them like a faggot and plebs will probably love your contribution to the ongoing death of mecha.

The wall hasn't been done yet, that's just a plain plane, same as the desk, for the render. I plan on putting a window there. I noticed the bottle too. When I first did it seemed to be about right, but in the render it looks more like it's about 4" tall.
I only included the Slurm can and Pringles tube because everyone seems to say you should have something organic in there to give a sense of life. I'm not good enough to do anything that's really organic and that was the best thing I could think of with the ability I have. I can easy remove those though.
There's two pills merging in the map (one white and one blue/yellow). I just forgot to move them kek.
I think it being somewhat disjointed will make more sense once I put the other things in that I haven't done yet, and ties in with the other scenes I've done.

Thanks for your feedback, it's always appreciated. I'll use it, roll with it, and see where I end up from there.

How would I go about making a shader that emits a specific color when hit by light? For instance, let's say I have a red object but I want its shading to be a specific color of green. Toon/cell-shading is of course very similar but I want to limit the color palette. So rather than having just a plain shadow/darkened color like in pic related, I want it to be a specific color, if that makes any sense

Consider using a Subdivision Surface Modifier, found on the bottom right under that blue wrench icon, if you're feeling like giving your prop more curves.

After a few weeks of hiding from my projects I finally gathered enough references and did some changes to my game character. I have some anxiety about the polycount, the majority of the vertices are in the gloves which will be close to the camera most of the time, and there is definitely a bunch of places I could remove the backsides of objects to reduce polycount which I'll probably end up doing as I try to do a real UV unwrap and make actual textures and whatnot.

next time, make the basic form out of primitives, or hell even just polymodel it first
trying to use grab tool to morph things is a recipe for disaster

See that there is just a cylinder and a cut cylinder and work from there. Really don't need to sculpt it, subd or poly modeling modeling would work just fine for this.

mostly the sharp edge created by the swap in material between lips and Skin.
I would recommend using something like "thispersondoesnotexist" to grab a face and then use bits of that image as a texture stencil to get a quick face texture. The eyes look a bit flat, but the rest is good enough.

sample metals from google image search processed & PBRized in gimp then baked in 3dsmax, followed by handpainting using layer w\ overlay\addition\multiply blend modes to accent the style

>Generally stippling isn't a uniform density, and instead gets denser in heavily shadowed areas, and less dense in lighter areas. Though I've dabbled with stippling before, and I wasn't too sure how to get that to work. Maybe you'll fare better than me.
You can control density of a pattern in a few ways, the problem is the Shader to RGB node is the only way to get a gradient for shading in Blender, at least as far as I'm aware, and that is very limiting in many ways.

>Working without any reference
Why would you EVER do that? Even if something is completely made up you should use reference, dummy. If it's alive, it has anatomy, and if it's mechanical there's no shortage of different mechanical bits and pieces that exist in the real world to reference from.
There's simply no excuse to not have something to reference at all times. At least until you're skilled enough to not need it.

You should have the plane at least pan across the screen, or move back and forth slightly. There'd be no way a plane would be able to match speed with the train so perfectly that it's essentially a static object. The plane flying across the frame would be more interesting anyway.

That's the level I'm trying to reach as fast as possible. I'm trying to remember anatomical stuff by memory (only for humans tough, I'm not a madman) and see through people's critiques (and my own eyes) where I fucked up and what I forgot to work on.

That's not how you do it though. It's not an exam where you regurgitate knowledge.
You don't memorize how to ride a bike, you practice with training wheels until riding a bike is so ingrained into your muscle memory and mind that riding it without the training wheels comes naturally.
You're getting confused between having knowledge about something, and having the skill to do something. Theory and practice are two different things.
Sculpt with reference until you can see those forms absolutely everywhere.

OP here, I was hoping on getting the new /wip/ thread up by tonight, but making the new OP images of late have been taking up more time than usual.
It's not a big deal, and I'll still do them, I'm just giving a heads up that things have been taking a bit longer than usual. Though it doesn't help that I wait until the thread reaches the limit before starting work on the image.
So yeah, I got everything from thread so far onto the next OP, but I still have to place them in the scene, which I'll do tomorrow night. So expect the new thread to be up then.

Obviously, from now on, I'll put in a little more planning into things next time. Adding images and stuff every few days rather than waiting to do it all at the last minute.
This one kinda snuck up on me with how quick it reached the bump limit. Sorry friendos.

half of the scars fdont make sense, look at how real scars heal and how the color variation works.
Eyes are slightly off center and the gloss/shine makes them look incongruent with the rest of the model
Skin also looks like plastic and the single tone material on it doesnt really help
Hair looks simultaniously over and under detailed at the same time.

6/10 pretty close to being decent, a little bit of refining the major forms, painting and fixing the materials and color details could go a long way to make this look a lot better
