>Collage posting
As mentioned in the previous thread, I'll be continuing the collages in the next thread.
I won't be putting everything from the thread into it, and it'll be on an opt-in basis. If you'd like to opt-in, simply post your work as a transparent PNG. If it's an environment or larger scene, don't worry about posting a transparent image since there's a specific place I put those. Depending on the circumstances (I like an image, it makes an impact on the thread, etc.), I may put something in the thread that wasn't posted as transparent.
Really these are just suggestions of how you all can make things easier and quicker for me, not hard rules.

So to bullet point
>get into the collage by posting transparent PNGs
>environment/scene anons don't need to
>I might add images that aren't transparent if they're noteworthy or useful to the collage

Here's my progress for now. Her expression is still stale because I haven't rigged her face yet, so I'm gonna go binge some tutorials I have saved because I haven't rigged a face before.
I completely reworked the feet because they didn't match her design, and their topology was awful. I also made her thighs, butt, and belly fatter.

The image isn't transparent because I didn't want to upload just a single pose, but having multiple poses on a transparent image seemed like it would make the collage messy. Having my stuff in the collage doesn't feel as important as compared to when I was new here, but I still like seeing everyone else's things in there.

Depending on what you're using, if you're rendering via raytracing, rendering low samples and cranking the denoise really high gives a painterly look. Though your mileage may vary.

That's a sculpt. The basic procedure for sculpts, as you probably know, is to retopologize when you're done and bake normals from the sculpt.
If you want to poly model first you could do that too - in blender you can throw on a multires modifier, subdivide a few times and sculpt the muscles on, then bake normals from the multires modifier. But it's easier to go with a sculpt first because you can make the shapes you want up front without thinking about topology, instead of fiddling with the wiring for ages to possibly get it wrong in the end.
As for polycount, it really depends on what you want the model to be for. 1k triangles is very little if you want any definition. I've made what I'd call medium detailed models in the past, and they hover at about 5k vertices (around 10k triangles) for the body alone, mirrored. That is before subdivision, I subdivide those once to 20k vertices (~40k triangles).

i think your biggest problem is the 3d equivalent of symbol drawing
you're sure there's supposed to be a bellybutton somewhere around here, shoulderblades somewhere around there, but you don't have an intuitive enough understanding of anatomy to simplify those forms properly
when people say "learn anatomy," they don't mean make an anatomically accurate model instead, they mean learn to make an anatomically accurate model, THEN make an anatomically inaccurate one
in your case, your lack of knowledge is giving you big problems around the shoulders and neck and chest, the feet obviously, and probably the face as well

Really lacking in anatomy understanding and control, so doing some proportions and musculature studying using Zarins. Feel free to judge and offer advice (especially if you see obvious improvements that can be made especially in respect to shape and connections), but don't waste too much effort, as I'm just starting and a lot of the issues likely need hours of study and practice before most practical advice will even become useful, and I still have a lot of major muscles I have to place.

My main question, though. I am a heavy hotkey user and would like to avoid moving my cursor to the other side of the screen to select a brush and have to move it back and reorient myself, but some of the brush hotkeys in Blender are stupid. Nudge is Space shift 1. That's ridiculous, and half of the brush hotkeys don't even work unless you hit space first, but some of the others work without opening the brush context menu (Shift-C for crease is fine, for instance, but Draw Sharp needs Space 1, and 1 won't work on its own). I don't see why it can't be just Space to open the menu, then a single other key to select the brush, with each brush having its own key. Having to hit space to open the brushes and then a chord for a brush is stupid when there are way fewer brushes than alphanumeric keys.
Is there any good way of hotkeying around brushes that maximizes efficiency without being inconsistent as hell, or would I have to remap all my stuff for that? If it's the latter, are there any community-blessed mappings?

Anonymous at Sun, 10 Apr 2022 19:26:04 UTC No. 891205

>>891203
I haven't really refined that bit yet. I did a rough block-out based on a skeleton, then readjusted it based on the first two parts of this (so you see the hips are that weird trapazoidal shape shown in green here). I did that because the skeleton-based blockout turned out to be a relatively poor base for throwing muscles onto.
I've only really been working on the deltoids, pecs, and abs. Next was going to be the arm muscles and upper back muscles, then the hips and such. I'm mostly just throwing the major shaping and visible muscles on so I can adjust them and get a better understanding of their arrangements.

Your English is hard for me to understand, but I think I get what you're saying. I should still use a skeleton as a base, especially because I'm trying to get an understanding of musculature, and I should worry less about my blockout being a representation of a complete body, but rather anchor points for muscles because the point of the study is anatomy, not total shape.
Thank you; that's good advice. I still wish brushes in Blender were less of a pain in the ass, though.

oh that anon is trolling you because he thinks that the base mesh isn't proportional

base meshes aren't meant to be perfect though, a lot of sculptors develop and tweak it over time

Anonymous at Sun, 10 Apr 2022 19:41:05 UTC No. 891215

>>891199
Well it's not a rule by any means, a lot of people use basemeshes, but personally when I'd just started sculpting I tried to use remeshed basemeshes too, but I found that I was too afraid to change the shapes much fearing that I would ruin them when I'd finally gotten to sculpting. But when I started sculpting from spheres I found myself using bolder strokes for obvious reasons, and it only helped me. So instead of doing what you're doing, try just going from a sphere and see if it works better for you. I find that it's much quicker to start working from a sphere directly than be particular about the proportions and shapes of the basemesh for half an hour before even touching sculpt mode.
As for hotkeys, just remap them yourself. I try to limit myself to the simplest brushes most of the time so I use 1 for clay strips, 2 for draw sharp, 3 for grab, 4 for blob. Smooth is shift click by default as you know. Three other brushes I use semi-regularly are the first "draw" one when I need a less flat buildup, inflate and crease, but much less often so I don't use hotkeys for them. I have alt+mousehweel set to increasing/decreasing brush size in all modes because some piece of software which I forgot had this as the default and I set it that way in all programs I use. One thing I think I should hotkey sometime is the falloff mode on the grab brush. I toggle it back and forth a LOT. Since I don't use dyntopo because uneven poly density fucks with smoothing strength and that bothers me a lot, for blocking out I use projected falloff grab + remesh.

Anonymous at Sun, 10 Apr 2022 19:51:44 UTC No. 891222

>>891212
Right, but I'm actually not really trying to make a basemesh for future use or anything just yet, just working on proportions and anatomy as a study.
Even if he's trolling, he did make me realize that I should just make a proportional base skeleton as close as I can get to a real skeleton and attach muscles to it. Throwing muscles on top of a base body blockout like I'm doing is going to end up with me either having a bloated mesh with muscles farther out than they should be or I'm going to be shrinking things in anyway.

>>891215
I'll probably do that more later (maybe later today). I'm just trying to cultivate an eye and feel for muscle placement and arrangement at the moment, so I'm planning on keeping all the major muscles as separate objects for now. This whole study is just for anatomy. I'll work on probably more general proportions and blockout work later. I'm trying to cultivate a strong understanding of anatomy, then proportion, volume and form after.

I was trying to avoid remapping it myself, because I reset my config with most updates to keep things clean, and I hate syncing settings across multiple machines, but this is enough of a pain in the ass that I should probably just bite the bullet and remap them.

> One thing I think I should hotkey sometime is the falloff mode on the grab brush
I never thought about hotkeying that, but I definitely should. I find I want to change falloff a lot but it's kind of a pain. Accessing a lot of the brush settings can be annoying, really.

> Since I don't use dyntopo because uneven poly density fucks with smoothing strength
I feel that so much. I love the idea of having resolution only where you need it, but you get such ugly seams everywhere, and uneven brush behavior in general.

Thanks a lot for the advice, anons.

I know there are still problems, but this is a ton of fun. I feel like I'm learning faster than ever before. I'm also learning the names of all the major muscles and bones as I go.
I'll probably get all the muscles down and roughly shaped, then I'll model out the pelvis and ribs more maticulously, add some more smaller bones, fine-tune the muscle anchor points, and further refine everything as I need to.

Really, everybody who hasn't done something like this should give it a shot. I see the human body in a whole new light, and am running my own fingers all over my body, finding all the landmarks, distinguishing major muscles, and feeling an understanding of the inside of my own body like never before.

I think it’s strange that you would react so strongly to the model I made. It’s amateurish, sure, but far worse has been posted in these threads before, and people don’t freak out about those like you did. You don’t tell other people that they’re symbol drawing, that they lack knowledge, or that they need to practice gesture drawing, but you single me out for some reason.

I’ve seen people crab and nitpick people who are way better than me, like the goblin bandit, ponytail jiggle-physics woman, and archviz anons who posted really professional-looking models and renders, and I still remember that thread a short while ago full of people complaining about how some 14 year-old btfo’d them with an animation that none of them would be able to replicate.

I think you may be singling me out because I managed to make a decent model despite not being very experienced. I’m not even doing 3d as a career, I’m a programmer and I’m mostly doing this for fun. I enjoyed blocking out the character, sculpting them, I didn’t enjoy retopoing as much, but I still enjoyed rigging, weight painting, and optimizing the topology. I had some experience with art fundies in high school, and I still look at references and etcetera and plan to get better, but modeling the character this way is a lot more fun, and it’s annoying to see some of you go on and on about how you need to master the fundies before you can make something you enjoy. I assume you have much more professional training than I do, but I bet you can’t even make something decent and that’s why you feel the need to crab people. Why don’t you post some of your work (with proof it’s yours) to prove me wrong? I bet it would be pretty funny if you did.

And no, I’m not making this for porn, since that seems to make you really angry for some reason.

I'm not doing any more of the arms on this bastard. Holy hell, there are so many arm muscles, and I've been trying to learn the names, but there's only so much I can do between "brachialis", "coracobrachialis", "brachioradialis", "extensor carpi radialis longus", "extensor digitorum", "extensor pollicis brevis" and the rest. I get that the name specifies the function, but many of these muscles are basically buried anyway. I'll call it good enough for now, since I still have the legs and hips to do (I'll probably save the hands, feet, and face for separate studies).

you have the correct muscles but you are lacking the proportions.

Forearm muscle is far to big, they need to be smaller or nearly the same as the shoulder muscles

The pectoral muscles need to be more connected to the shoulder, once people get that lean the line becomes almost straight(horizontal from the nipples to shoulder).

The lower half of the rib cage needs to bend slightly which will give you the more V shape

The pectoral muscles come down and reach the beginning for the first row of abs

Back is good

Knees could be more square and align with the hips bones more.

The leg muscles look far to big im comparison to his upper body, not that its un realistic its just not appealing.

Apologise for the list of critics i am by no means saying that it sucks, its very good and honestly the only major flaw is the pectorals not meeting the abs. Only art spergs will notice these issues though so most end users probably wouldn't notice.

I'd recommend doing what I'm doing here: >>891344
I was trying your way before, but actually modelling the individual muscles and skeleton blew my mind wide open about what I was missing and doing wrong before.

At a glance, here are the issues I see:
Arms:
* Your deltoids are way too separated from the rest of the arm. They lay over the top of the upper arm and their texture is distinguishable, but they aren't a separate part, and the triceps, biceps, and brachialis tuck under them. They should be more continuous
* The triceps and biceps are too far down the upper arm, and bulge too high relative to their mass (they bulge in the right part of the arm, but they should have more mass higher up as well).
* The triceps seem rotated toward the body, and the brachialis is too far back. It should be facing more up than back, and the tricep should be more back than in. It looks like you've kind of merged the shape of those two muscles.
* The forearm has completely incorrect definition. It's a complex arrangement of over a dozen different muscles. You don't have to get them exactly right, but their influence on the shape needs to be recognizable. The most prominent muscles, the brachiordialis, extensor carpi radialis longus (yeah, stupid long name), and the flexor carpi ulnaris need to be really right.

Back:
* The traps and latissimus dorsi look pretty much fused. You might want to distinguish them more for an anatomy study, even if they aren't extremely distinguished on an actual back.
* The trapezius is too far forward on the upper part of the neck. It's a really deep swoop on the shoulder and thin up the back of the neck.
* The trapezius doesn't really connect to the scapula correctly. It needs to be deeper into the middle of the back. The trapezius shape as a whole is not quite right.
* The structure of the latissimus dorsi comes up kind of ambiguously into the ribcage thing.

[to be continued]

Anonymous at Mon, 11 Apr 2022 18:55:45 UTC No. 891458

>>891443
>>891455
Back, continued:
* The scapulae aren't really visible. I think that might be what you're trying to capture with those round bits near the deltoids, but if they're visible at all, they'll be more blade-like, and their visible edge will run up vertically toward the spine, and then angle sharply transverse to meet with the clavicle.

In general, you need to be very conscious of the shape of your clavicle and scapulae, because a lot of very visible muscles connect to them.

Torso:
* The pectoralis isn't the right shape. It should narrow more on the edge to anchor underneath the deltoids (on the humerus). Look at the fan shape of fibers, and how they cross over each other to anchor on the arm. Your shape would be largely fine for stylized, but it's not anatomically right. You also need the bony areas for it to connect right. Pecs do not bulge at the top, they connect to the clavicle at the top
* The entire abdominal area is not defined at all. You need abs, you need obliques, and your ribs are not the right shape at all. The ribs should be taller, have a closer gap below the sternum, and should be widest at the middle (A different shape, like the famous inverted triangle, is caused by thick musculature, not the skeleton). I think a reason your latissimus dorsi is so ill-formed is because you don't have the obliques for the interface between them.
* Your pelvis needs a lot more care in how it's formed. The shape and placement of the Ilium is the most significant contributor to the shape of the lower torso, upper legs, and hips and pelvis in general. A ton of the biggest muscles in your body attach to the ilium in one way or another.

Anonymous at Mon, 11 Apr 2022 19:21:20 UTC No. 891459

>>891443
>>891455
>>891458
Legs:
* The upper part of your legs are sabotaged from the start by having an ill-defined pelvis. Your glutes don't know how to connect, your quadriceps don't know how to connect (and as such, aren't totally the right shape).
* The glutes aren't just a single mass. They're primarily two large muscles, the gluteus maximux and the gluteus medius. The gluteus maximus wraps around the outer side of the leg, and isn't cleanly defined and separated from the upper leg on the outside (keeping it separated and more spherical can be fine for stylization, and is visually appealing, but understanding the anatomy is essential to keeping it looking right, especially in motion).
* Remember that the quadriceps are a set of muscles. It's easy to focus overly on the rectus femoris, but don't reduce the front of the leg as if it's one big muscle. This might be largely due to the pelvis problem as well, because the shapes of these muscles are heavily influenced by where they attach to the pelvic bones.
* The back of the upper leg is a complex set of muscles. Yours is extremely flat. It should not be concave like that.
* The kneecap looks quite good at the front, but the back of the knee is not a crease like that.
* The lower leg is far too long.
* The calf muscle is too thick, the gastrocnemius is far too high, and it's missing attention to how it connects to the femur.
* The calf sorely needs more muscles. Where are the tibialis anterior and soleus muscles? The calves look like they literally only have a huge gastrocnemius and the rest of the muscles are missing.

All in all, it's a good effort, and it's not bad. Many of the shapes are great, and most of the proportions are sound, but it looks like an attempt to shape a human based on looking at references of fit people, but it doesn't speak of an understanding of anatomy. You need to know the arrangements of muscles and bones, and how they connect to each other.

Good work still. Keep it up.

Thank you for the advice, I tried to fix the issues you guys pointed out, but I didn't wanna spam it too much every step of the way so here's what it looks like in the end. I may have ruined some things in the process because my eye for anatomy isn't trained yet. I didn't quite get what the horizontal line from the nipples to the shoulder meant, did you mean like, when the arms are down? Or the connection thingie that stretches from the pectorals to the deltoid thing? Anyway I think I'm gonna try to find consistent photo reference and make a whole bunch more sculpts from scratch before I ask for any more advice because I think I got some food for thought from this sculpt. Thanks again.

much better, anon. work a bit more on the serratus. notice on your sculpt how you can follow each muscle from origin till it dips under the lattimus, but on your reference you barely see the origin on a couple before it all gets smoothed over by fat and skin. try and take note of that in general. you're not doing an ecorche: there's a lot of fat filling in gaps and a big sheet of skin pulled over everything you see in anatomy diagrams.

Zygotebody is great; I really like it. Make sure you note those capsule-shaped buttons on the bottom of the left toolbar (right above the question mark). You can switch to individual layer sliders to disable cardiovascular and organs and stuff you might not care about and just focus on what's important for 3D art.

I forgot to say because I was posting on my lunch break, but your work does show a lot of promise. I wouldn't have spent so much time and detail giving feedback otherwise. Keep it up and focus on the right things, and you'll be crazy good really quickly.

Meatman anatomy study still coming along. Spent about an hour on the femur tonight. Wanted to do more, but didn't have time. Intend to finish all the rest of the leg muscles tomorrow, then I'll run back up to the forearm and fill out the missing space with a few more of the other smaller muscles.
Getting a little bit tripped up with my goals, as I just wanted to do muscles without connective tissue so I could focus entirely on the mass, but without the connective tissues, things like the abs are still kind of hard to align, and the latissimus dorsi in particular looked funky. I went and extended the lats at least to fill the middle space in the back.
After reshaping the pelvis a bit, now some things again don't connect right, but I'll fix that a bit later.
I might take out a lot of the muscles after this and try to remake them with paths, and texture them nicely too. Depends how motivated I'm still feeling after 3 more hours of "extensor peroneus fellator hallucius longus fuckus dingus dongus".

>look up raven from teen titans. cartoon characters dont have exactly stellar proportions
It's not about the proportions, it's about having an edge flow that won't look hideous for deformations. Topology is about setting up the edge flow so that the regular range of motions doesn't create ugly pinching or other issues. Bad topology means when you start trying to do expressions, including anything involving mouth, cheek, or brow muscles, or even just open the mouth, you'll get ugly artifacts where the topology wasn't properly set up for deformation.

It doesn't matter if you plan to have a static model that will never be posed or rigged, but like the other anon said, "you're not going to have a fun time if you try to do anything more with your model". If you have plans to rig at all, fix your topology if you don't want pain.

Honestly, I'd even recommend trying it the way you're doing just to experience it, and then do it right afterward. You'll learn better by doing it wrong first and being able to directly compare, but it will take more time and frustration.

>>891520
Realistic topology doesn't, but you still need to pay attention to some sort of topology if you're going to do any sort of deformations. "Normal topology doesn't work" is fine, but "therefore I don't have to pay attention to topology at all" isn't the right conclusion (unless you're doing something like making all your expressions with flat textures). Doing stylized figures is not an excuse to not learn fundamentals like anatomy and topology.

Manually. I'm taking this approach because this is just one of many material options and all have artisanal weave with distinct patterns and materials. Some plugins can make a good approximation but no the real thing. This is going to replace photograph references so it has to be precise and my client knows its weaves like the palm of its hand.

Here take a look it's not that difficult.

> Bend it and stitch it into he basic shape
> Deform the whole piece using space modifiers and. (Over the photogrammetry model it's very easy.)

Spent a bit setting up a basic curves-based muscle setup. It actually works quite alright to a degree, but only really for parallel muscles. Things like pectorals and deltoids make you do things like uneven scale and other annoying workarounds like a bevel object. Complex fibers like in the pectorals are just out of the question. Dealing with more than two simple anchor points is also awkward at best.
Was a fun experiment, but if I can't do it for all the muscles, I won't do it, because everything will just be inconsistent, and it's probably not really worth redoing all the parallel muscles as curves just for this study.

I assure you, I am studying proportions, working with references, and "studying fundies". I'm just getting started at trying to understand anatomy, which is why my anatomy still sucks.

By "specific suggestions or criticism", I meant specific suggestions or criticisms about my approach or current WIP. Is studying anatomy, learning terminology, and constructing bodies from the skeleton up a particularly bad way to learn how a body is put together? I don't think that makes any sense.

I'm really trying to take you seriously, but your first criticism was that I'm using technical names for muscles while not having the artistic ability that knowing anatomical names gives the perception of. That's some retarded nonsense, like you have to be a talented artist to earn the right to use muscle names.

I'm not great with anatomy, but I'm ok with proportion and I know that anon's model has some proportion issues, but he found a fun way to study anatomy. You may have learned anatomy a certain way, but I know from my experience with learning other things that the best way to learn something is to make it memorable. You don't have to grind that hard that way.

People wonder why this is a dead board, but the reasoning behind that is easy to figure out when we have a bunch of pedantic schizos like you running around here trying to be the fun police while also trying to get people to learn using your gay textbooks.

I was just making the material as a fun diversion, and because I was tired of starting at salmon-colored blobs while shaping muscles. That wasn't really part of the study, and I was expecting to abandon it from the beginning.
If he thought I was studying ineffectively, he should have said that instead of shitposting about me using muscle names and then just listing off things that I'm already doing. Your last line alone is more useful than both of his posts, because you are specific about what is actually being done wrong.

Mostly, it rubs me the wrong way because last time I said I was working on proportion, I was told I should study anatomy and muscle and bone positions first because that aids proportions, and now when I'm doing that, somebody comes in and tells me not to do that, but to instead study things that I'm already doing. I'm just going to keep working fundamentals, proportions, anatomy, and the like for now and try to cultivate that intuitive understanding of anatomy. Gesture will come later. I can't do it all at once, and I can't listen to everybody's advice when they're all pointing me different ways.

Looks much better. The forearms are really hard. Upper arms are 1 bone and 4 muscles, including the deltoids, where the forearms are two bones that rotate and twist and over a dozen muscles that facilitate not only the flexing and twisting of the arm, but a lot of the motion of the wrist, hand, and fingers too.

>>891821
I wouldn't really frame it as "starting from scratch", but rather as its own study. Lots of small studies and throwaway experiments are necessary for any technical skill. As a programmer, they are the bread and butter of learning any technique and pattern, and the same applies to technical aspects of any art in general. Your success and progress will advance so much faster if you foster the habit and ability to quickly jumpstart small, directed studies and experiment whenever you discover something you need to improve or a new skill you'd like to develop.

There's no real way of telling if you're not working on a schedule, a deadline or any time limiting factor. You just have to put your foot down and decide that your model is finished. Really, there's not really a limit to how many details/work you can add even on the most basic stuff.

Maybe a pack or something leaning against the rock with little bits and bobs you can see inside, or some emblems or something on them to hint at an occupation or affiliation. Some leading lines would be a good addition too, like a small line of fences leading to the windmill, snaking its way towards the camera and ducking behind the hill in the foreground, so the eye goes from the tent and follows the fence to the windmill. Even some little houses dotting the area near the windmill might be nice as well, treating that area like a smaller composition. I think the balloon is in a nice-ish place, but some extra "movement" could be suggested by tilting it a bit (remembering to take the basket into account), and perhaps some swirly wind-lines to further emphasize it.
That being said, I think the balloon fights a bit with the tent as to who is the main subject. Perhaps finding some kind of relationship between the two could work though. Like someone by the tent waving to the balloon or something.

It was a bit of a ramble, but I hope it helps. It's got potential.

Actually I had another idea as well, maybe make the camp where the balloon set off from, and have little bits of ballooning equipment, like sandbags some ropes and some stakes in the ground to suggest a closer relationship between the two without relying on characters.

You could add a little bit of haze to give a better sense of depth, right now it looks like the tent, balloon and windmills are at the same distance.
The clouds are a bit boring and very flat, maybe you could try using actual geometry to make them?

Looking a little blobby and wobbly. You probably merged your shapes and bumped the resolution up too early. The breasts look stiff and weightless, like implants, probably because you either merged them too early or grew them out of the torso.
The neck should probably not be separated like that, because the trapezius muscle that defines the shape of the neck also goes down the middle of the back and to the clavicles on either side. The upper chest is also missing a lot of shape that should be there from pectorals.
The ass looks really fat, rather than muscular, and the top is not very well-defined.
The abs are really bizarre. If they're visible at all, they won't look like that, the upper part will be split in at least two. If you're going for fat, it should probably be smoother and unseparated, unless you're going for cellulite.
The legs connect quite low compared to the top of the ilium, which looks quite high, and the entire pelvis is huge in the vertical and horizontal dimensions, but very very flat for some reason. The anatomy of the hips in general is pretty questionable.

Focus more on realistic proportions first, keep your objects separated until the proportions are more defined, have your objects represent parts of the anatomy.
You have a lot of good shapes and good anatomy mixed with a lot of bad shapes and bad anatomy. Your leg shapes are good, the arms are largely well-shaped (the deltoids are maybe overvisible, but not too bad, and the biceps are a little short).

To put it very briefly and bluntly, what I see is one of the following:

Somebody with a lot of potential and budding talent bashing on way faster than they should, who should take a little more time to study anatomy and proportions and adjust major shapes before increasing resolution and merging.
Or somebody who doesn't know what they're doing, tracing references badly, and/or taking different existing models and trying to kitbash them together without the skill to do so.

Is that in Blender? Isn't there something that fucks up with height maps when you import an object from megascans into Blender and you need to connect it properly yourself?
I think it's height maps. I know they connect one of the maps to the wrong place and you need to do it.

Alright, composition time. Let's put some effort in this.
It's supposed to be a massive array of capacitor plates, some being lit up by electricity.
I'm already happy with
>diagonally opposing ledges on the bottom left and middle right
>a good portion of the base (will be covered in cables and stuff) being visible

However there is still
>upper left side is supposed to be unlit to create a contrast but it feels empty - blocking the view by pulling a block down makes it feel cramped
>the ledge in the lower right. It's supposed to be there, but does it add anything?

any ideas?

Yeah most of the connections are one node off from where they're supposed to connect. So shit like the alpha gets plugged into clearcoat or something.
It's less Blender's fault, and more the fault with Bridge's exporter. It's a known problem, but they've still not done anything about it.
For what it's worth, I haven't had any issues with the heightmaps. Once they're plugged up correctly they look how you'd expect.

If you spent more than a couple hours on this, then you're doing it wrong.

It's usually counted in tris, and for a high poly it isn't, but for games it's way too much, but you can optimize it later on by removing bevels and subd modifiers etc. 5-10k tris would probably be enough for this.

Great work anon. It's always rewarding to finish up something that's so involved. Rendering at 4k60 takes enough time as it is.
Great work and pat yourself on the back. You've done a good job.

If I'm going to critique it a bit...
I like what you have, though I wish there was a bit "more" to it. Seems a lot like a showcase of your modelling than any kind of coherent narrative. Relying a lot on the nostalgia of the movie posters and stuff (and I realize the irony in saying that, given the title) to keep the viewer entertained.
The room could feel a bit more "lived in" as well I think. It's decorated and everything, but everything is placed too perfectly (all the VHS tapes perfectly oriented and spaced), and there's no sense of presence that someone exists in that space. It's also a bit funny that the Amiga has some dust collected on it, but nothing else in the scene. You'd think the monitor and audio box would be caked in it, to say nothing about behind all of that.
I kinda also wished that you did something more with the Fright Night house, you show us the poster and then look outside and it's like "wow, it's the same house", but then you don't do anything with it. Seems like a missed opportunity.

For what it's worth, despite the other anon not being a fan of the flying camera, I think it's animated quite smoothly. Flythroughs like that can get really messy and have all kinds of weird movements, so good job.
I also think the intro flying through the pixels of the CRT was really cool and worked well.

Despite the criticisms I've raised, still feel proud of yourself. Good job anon, and keep it up.
Just think about what you can accomplish in the next 3500 hours.

Looks a lot better. Consider blowing out the lights a little so that it has a pastor kind of quality, like a very bright sunshining on a glorious day kind of thing.
Right now it's kinda "a lazy sunny day" like Ghibli loves to do but not 100%, but yet there's also that strong lighting; pick one and go with it.

Also are the shadows correct on the balloon and the tent? I feel like they're being lit from two different directions even though both are being lit by the sun.
Either way, I would probably play with that, maybe even deepen the shadows. Also are the clouds flowing from left to right (easterly I guess)? Right now they look confusing to my eye but that's also because they're not the sort of big soft fluffly cumulonimbus clouds.

My other complaint is that this still isn't quite visually that interesting or rewarding to look at because there are like several story elements here: You have a tent, you have a fire, you have a big log, then you have a balloon (with either no people or they're very tiny), then you have a windmill, then you have mountains and I'm not really being told what's important or what I'm meant to feel.
They all kind of have equal importance in the image; the balloon isn't quite small enough or far enough away or low contrast enough for it to be just a background detail and I'd maybe want a couple small ones rather than one to really drive home that it's a background detail, that I'm meant to understand this is a world where people go ballooning.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to get from the tent. Is it the balloonist's tent? Maybe have some clue that that's the case, like spent gas canister things or something. If it's not the balloonist's tent, if it's just a person and they're out in nature, then maybe don't have it be so prominent if the balloon is what matters.
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to get out of the windmill; it's not like a Dutch thing where you see many windmills and so you understand that it's the land of wind

Just to add to my post:

Yeah but also he could do a lot more with lighting and levels and color balance too.

If it's meant to be Miyizaki-like it's definitely missing the sense of motion (which admittedly is tricky when it's a still image); even the verticality of image is in some ways constrained

nah, it's the same in maya and houdini and it's not a quirk of a particular renderer, or trying to fiddle with zero values hoping to find a sweet spot - often times the height maps are just bad and do not match well with the hi-res geo. they're probably passable for mid-range vidya assets mind you, but for anything more it's worth just rebaking it (or if you really want good results redoing the low poly entirely)

Undyne retopoing. Some of the topology is kind of shit, but I'm pretty sure I just don't have the knack for it yet, and I'll get much better with more practice. Shouldn't cause too much pain for this one, I don't think, because I'm planning on really light deformation at the most.

Not that anon, but the more you can do with just tileable textures the better.
Personally, I'll use tileables for 70% of the scene, and for the subject or things in focal points, I'll bring into Substance Painter and texture those objects by hand.
Basically, if someone's eye isn't going to be looking somewhere, why spend the effort making that area immaculate when there's better places to be spending that effort.

Wow, thanks a lot.
The cassettes are actually hand moved so they are not 100% exact and they are exactly like I had done in my real room. I also would love to make it a bit more lived in, but that means add more stuff = more time. The house thing is something I would like to see myself. I would especially want to see it in different angles. but there's issues. That angle is the only one that worked or I'd have to add a fuck more ton of trees. It would also fuck with the moon as Blender can't take the render distance from far to close without clipping. So the moon is just behind the furthest trees. That scene itself was insane to render as is. If I added more time or items to it... then fuck me. It's not because of me but the bloody assets I bought. All my stuff is quality low poly. Every grass straw has a separate model and all the trees are... a joke... So I couldn't really have done more in Blender. I'll hope to render everything next time in Unreal.

Yep answer is no. Since time is money 94% percent of archviz is solved with box mapping with real world dimensions. The other 4% are tileable maps or smart maps such as bercon that let us do the floor planks automatically and vary the colors randomly for the lamps. The 1% are ad hoc maps such as the wooden beams but even those are not unwrapped its just a cylinder map with mesh mods where the knots appeared on the texture.

Maybe denoise and then add noise and sharpness in LightroomClassic or Darktable (free)
Noise in renders is too uneven in my opinion and proper grain in post processing is far more consistent and controllable.

- UV/Texturing general
- X general (for each softwares)

Have you looked at references? Have you studied light, composition? What are you trying to achieve from this image? if you don't know what to improve on or what you want to achieve is because you have not looked at sufficient examples.

This is a quick image made to prove my point. It is obvious what the reference is but loot at what is has, a sense of scale, a cliché contrast between lights and colors, some quick post-processing (yes not everything has to be 3d) it tells a story.

Dare to put on the work hours to achieve what you intended.

It's been tried (many times), but they hardly get any traction.
At worst if it does pick up, it'll splinter the board into even more camps, on a board that hardly has any discussion to begin with.

It also requires an anon that's dedicated to maintaining the generals, and taking a neutral position. So no personal questions in the OP like "how do I do x? oh yeah, x general". And someone that'll blend into the thread without thinking it's "their thread" and thinking it's about them. They could poke their head out if it's relevant with thread business and the like, but they shouldn't be actively moderating the thread.
There's precious few anons on /3/ that have that capacity I think.

If someone feels up to the task, I'd say it's worth another try. I think a lot of the other generals failed because they don't have the right person behind them.

Shit, glossed over that bit.
Still, I feel like you could have just posted a screenshot of the same thing and got the point across, but it looks like you just wanted to flex on the dude and say "look what I can do" and claim it as "look how good I am and look at my good comp" while trying to point out focus here.
A screenshot from the movie would have sufficed. Though I guess it'd be more fun to make something if you had the time to kill.

Seems that op got the message and will try harder and that is great. I still think that my render is better than an insult and if it works as as a wake up call to not be lazy that's is fine by me.

I've dwelled in countless forums and everyone from cgarchitect to polycount and artstation are attention seekers, everyone's a diva in everyone else's book an I've grown sick of it.

4chan is the only space I can comment on other people's work without me getting banned for hurting some fucking 12 year old's ego. Some times a good fuck you is well served it is not all witty and rose in the real world.

I've had my fair share of clients and colleagues flexing on me and telling me I am the worst scum and I have no talent but as a grown person I always chose not to get offended.

Nearly finished retopo. Just need to do the eye and mouth cavities. Going slow the past few days, and have reshaped a bunch of pieces I wasn't happy with. Still not totally happy with all of it (topology is not exactly where I'd like it), but it's about as good as I feel I can get at the moment. I'll probably do a few human body topology studies after this and maybe retopo again if I feel that it could use it.

I gotta say, I love the pace and tone of the thread these past few days. Tons of interesting and varied WIPs and good discussion. I love all your art. I'd reply to all of you individually if it wasn't an annoying thing to do.

>>893484
Personally, I'm thrilled if somebody not only takes the time to tell me how to do things better, but also demonstrates what they mean. Even if it's a flex, or even if I find it's not helpful in and of itself, I know that they're not some annoying drive-by shitter.
As a professional who works in multiple different high-skill areas (not a CG professional), demonstration is the most valuable way to get a point across. At some point, the nuance required makes conveying meaning in plain language (ie. without layers of jargon and assumptions about exising knowledge) difficult to impossible.

It's alright for a first try. The head could be bigger, and the breasts look like you were planning on giving her a bra. Since you're new to modeling, and I presume new to this board, I would strongly suggest you never post here again. A lot of people on here who complain about other people's anatomy skills can't actually sculpt an anatomically accurate model themselves, so they take out their frustrations on people who manage to get somewhere, especially if they're less experienced. Some of them do know what they're talking about, but their skill in modeling is the only thing that makes them valuable as a person, so they like to tear other people down. Go get critiques on any other website, because people there will actually want to help you.

Yes. Major options are:
* Push through and do it anyway. Finish the work at your current level of skill and accept the flaws.
* Do different stuff for a while, and eventually come back to this one and hope you are better and can overcome.
* Do some small directed studies with simplified or more realistic versions of what you're having trouble with, then come back and apply that experience directly.

The last one is best, in my opinion.

I was the one who originally typed that in the thread about the 2d artist sculpting for the first time. Someone replied to me saying that, in order to make an anatomically-accurate model, you have to model all of the individual bones, then all of the individual muscles, attach them together with connective tissue, then put the skin on. Some people called him retarded for that, so I'm guessing he's trying to make me look like a fool to get back at me because he has some sort of mental health issue. What I said was probably true about him, and I think it got to him.

Rigged it. Took the whole day until I realised the mechanics wouldn't work with the dimensions I had but after adjusting the model it was easy. Now I need to rig the springs and cables so they deform properly

I've had two hobbies over the course of corona. If I'm creatively blocked in one, I jump to the other. In my case it's modeling and guitar, sometimes your mind needs a different challenge to refresh itself instead of getting caught up in decision paralysis.

Spent a while building the eye and mouth cavities and tweaking the face to my liking. I'm quite happy with it so far, but now for all the detail work, which is going to be tedious as hell. Probably do the eyes and teeth, then the hair and clothes and accessories.
In the long run, I'd like to rig this one a bit. I love how her "lips" don't go to the end of her mouth. My goal is that she should look quite pretty (like the original reference here https://www.deviantart.com/saturnspace/art/Tarjan-Undyne-570453878 ), but when she opens her mouth all the way, her jaw hinges back and her lips stretch almots to the corners of her mouth. As this happens, the skin on her eyes should pull back in a grotesque way.
I really want the beauty/monstrosity juxtaposition, and I'd love to make a good-looking animation that transitions between the two. I might not make it that far, but I'm definitely going to at least finish the bust.

>>893672
I'm a person with tons of different hobbies, and while what you say is true, you need to recognize the line between getting a refresher and using your other hobby to procrastinate.
It's probably better with fewer hobbies, but it feels really shitty to look back 6 months, and realize that you jumped from one hobby to another every time that things started getting "blocked" and because of that, you didn't actually improve much at all in any of them.
There's a balance to strike, and you have to be really honest with yourself whether you're putting a hobby on the backburner because you're truly blocked and burned out or because it's just gotten hard and you don't want to be assed to push through. I made almost no improvement in 3D art for almost a year because I kept jumping hobbies, and only really started progressing when I dug my heels in and didn't let myself switch.
It's easy to procrastinate without realizing you're doing it because it feels like you're just taking a bit of time to do something else productive.

I thought I could get a better result by sculpting a subdivided version and baking the diffuse map to get the base colors and shading but I ended wasting hours.
I can already tell that I won't be happy with the final result.

I've done that sort of thing before and it does unironically work.
Reckon it's solved now though, I just went for it with a clearer head and it seems to have worked for the most part. Definitely think it's doable.

>>893672
I really wasted that opportunity with lockdown. It was the perfect time to really learn 3D and take it a bit more seriously. Instead I didn't pick it back up until the end of lockdown when the ideal period, ie to not be interrupted, had gone.
I have this really bad fear of failure though. Even if something is enjoyable I'll stop doing it because I'm convinced if I keep going it'll get worse, or that I'm just wasting my time. It's why I've only finished maybe 3 projects I've ever tried and end up with big gaps in between what I'm learning. Doing my best to get over that mindset, that's why I'm so determined to complete this project.

Thanks for your advice anyway bros.

Making my first completely from scratch base mesh. I *think* it's going decently, though I'm not too sure on how to approach the head.

Im really curious about that knee topology, I've never seen that star shape before

Anonymous at Mon, 25 Apr 2022 17:55:37 UTC No. 893810

>>893763
Topo can be quite subjective, but I'd say you need more loops in general, and those loops should usually convey the anatomy and musculature to a degree. In this example, notice the shoulder loops for the delts, the loops around the abs, the leg loops that go up the side around the glutes, the loops that trace the shape of the ribs. Topology is used for edge flow to be able to deform properly, but it's also a guide for the form itself, and helps you maintain proportion and anatomical shape. Remember that the way your actual body deforms is based on the muscular and skeletal anatomy.
To be specific in suggestions, you should have more loops around the abs, your breast flow should at least suggest the pectorals, the neck flow should help define the sternocleidomastoid, traps, and the triangles that form between them.
Those chin loops are not right at all. Look into facial topology and make sure to form the major loops. You should consider a face study in isolation.
Avoid triangles and n-gons. They're excusable for experienced modelers, but they're a crutch for a beginner when you haven't defined your edge flow well enough to justify them.

All in all, quite good work, though. There are a couple problems, but for a first from-scratch basebesh, it's pretty impressive.

>>893801
Breasts vary a lot in shape. I've seen real breasts that look something like that. Personally, I'd bring the nipples a little bit lower, and either reduce the sag or make the crease in the bottom of the breast deeper; most breasts that hang like that will have a crease that is completely closed on the bottom, where the breast touches the chest. The bottom should be fully rounded from nipple to chest, too, and there's a weird interface on the last breast loop (which might just be caused by the subsurf, to be fair).

>>893805
I imagine it would deform quite badly, given that bending the knee will fold the quads across the diagonal.

Nah I've made insane progress in both, use them to ladder each other in doing both of these things everyday, occasionally skipping a day for one when I'm really blocked, but nah. Creativity helps ladder each other bud, if you can leverage that, it's great.

>>893750
Just keep bashing your head head it until it makes sense, learn from all modeling vids, then let that info sink in. That sink in period, I've found, is the most important as it will set future habits. Best of luck anon!

Thanks for the advice, lads. I've started a new mesh, pretty much retopologizing what I had before with surface snapping while mimicking the edge flow of >>893810.
I'm not quite back to where I was, but it's already looking better.

Stopped anatomy and polymodeling stuff. I realised sculpting was an excellent destressant. I was pulling my hair for days trying to figure out topology and made pic related and felt refreshed.
Still have to figure out how the polish/trimDynamic/ brushes work for stylized work + how to avoid all the holes/artifact early when making stuff like hair.

Colors look on point but maybe the exposure is a bit too high for Titan. The terrain in the foreground at the beginning especially is very bright compared to the Huygens pictures, maybe try lowering the material's value a bit.
The waves seem to move very quickly but maybe that's the effect you were going for, I don't know how liquid methane moves in low G.

Thanks, will darken the sand a bit more. I already noticed that the waves were way too fast for being waves but I think they almost look like rain impacting the lake. In reality there is very little activity on the lakes of Titan, almost no rain and no waves.
