Like not accidentally key framing the legs so the cycling does not work, well too late,its already rendered.
Some critique would be welcome, and some animation suggestions.
Still some clipping issues here and there but i'll want to get some more animation practices before i'll throw more drivers at the problem.

First time posting on this board - Are there people who are fluent with ZBrush here? So far I've only really learnt the basics and smashed things together like they were blobs of clay but know there must be a faster and more professional way of doing things yet I have a dozen questions and don't know where to begin.

Thanks, I've actually been watching this - The number of videos is daunting to begin with but I'll sit and watch through most of them.
If I were to post images of my WIP and what I want to be able to do, would you have to experience to point me in the right direction of what I should do?
Essentially I don't know what I should be doing next, but I know what has to be done eventually. If I could get help figuring out what should be the workflow and when I should move on from one thing to the next, that would be great - Also anyone to catch me doing something horrendously wrong.

Best advice I can give is to actually physically perform the same action irl and make note of how you're moving. Look at yourself through a mirror when doing the actions if you can, or even better yet, take a video which you can reference and/or copy the key poses from.

This is an amazing advice. Also if you want to animate stop doing your own rigs, download character and focus on acting out a scene or remaking a 5-10 sec scene from a movie. From what im seeing now maybe you even should do weight lifting and walking cycle.

I been aimlessly tinkering around for years, with most of the stuff rotting on my hard drive. The project started out with just the goal "trying to make a space suit a again, but this time with some effort". Which morphed to "going full pipeline" as the project ballooned in scope. Now its just looking for purpose in life, what trying to find the fun in 3D again. After this on is done, a short rig demo reel, some static renders + turn table, i'll do a postmortem of what was fun to do and what had the biggest impact on output quality to find a balance in making "Art".
But the tl;dr: Started form a cube, and i'll wanted to see how far i can get.
Some CC0 textures, the rest is 100% mine.

Mirrors are insanely helpful anon.
Recording yourself doesn't let you look at yourself performing an action. I mean it "does" but it's not in real time. Having a mirror is useful for watching how your joints move WHILE you're moving them.
Lifting up your arm in front of a mirror and moving it around is a different experience entirely than watching a recording of yourself doing the same thing.
A recording is not a replacement for a mirror, it's a way of "saving" an action/performance. Both things have an important place in animating, and don't replace the other.

not accounting for slower light speed in an atmosphere. You need the refraction index of the atmospheric composition in anons room with the mirror.
And you have to measure which image is more distorted, the one by the camera or the one by the imperfect mirror.

Meanwhile, I, with a humble mirror, have already laid out all of my keys and, without thinking , with the way of the warrior, the eye of the tiger, have moved onto my extremes and am starting to scope breakdowns.

Ah, I see you're attempting to animate a horse's walk cycle.
On a serious note, lookin bretty good. Though the fact that it keeps bouncing makes me think that it's moving under its own force rather than physics and gravity.
There'd be a more tapering off of distance just like height if it were purely physics. That and the bounces would get more frequent and small until they're imperceptible, the ball would roll a bit, and then stop due to friction.

the difference for me is that i have no pressure. I do this as a hobby. I got an engineering job. But sometimes its a bit too much to stare at a screen for 3d for way to many hours after coming home of an 8 hour shift on EDA / CAD software.
But the electricity bill for rendering + the hard drive cost to store all of it is still cheaper than any of my other hobbies.
But i stop tinkering around with electronics cause thats my job now and it sucked the fun out of it. I would not want to do 3D as a job.
It sounds overly idealistic or pretentious , but i wanna do art not for money likes or followers. Just wanna do art to put some of the way to many ideas i have out of my head into some medium.
Get an easy job. And do your passion for fun. Or else you loose a passion.

You need to keep the volume with squash and stretch.
If you squish the object in XY axes, you also need to stretch it in Z for same amount to make it actually deform with the same volume instead of morphing the ball into a pill.

I did do that but it's probably too subtle to see.
Do you have any suggestions for techniques to keep the ratio? What I did was this for example:
Default scale 1.0
Z to 1.2

Gone through some animation tutorials and key poses seem to be the most important factor.
Instead of just winging it i made some key poses that look decent enough on their own. I got way to caught up in timing and interpolation.
I will take some reference footage to get the timing / speeds right. For now i just got constant interpolation and a camera move to see if the framing works.
I'll still have to see if separating out the steps like this helps or not.

It's clean, you should be able to use that as a custom fallback for the quest if you get your materials right.
How well does it deform for that amount of polys? You have some faces to spare, maybe add loops and structure where it breaks.

Don't forget to have the ball rotate even while in the air.
Because there's some forward momentum to it, friction will pull a bit on it in the opposite direction when it's in contact with the ground, causing it to rotate a bit (in this case, clockwise).
It might just be that you haven't gotten to that point yet though, so carry on.

Idk why people are getting mad at what you made, it's not a terrible model. My only gripe with it is that the drawing is better than the model, and the model doesn't quite capture the personality of the drawing. For the "pedo shit" part, the design is a bit childlike, but it doesn't quite register as a child to me. I think replicating the personality of the drawing and adjusting the waist and bust size to match the drawing would improve the model a lot.

Should work the same way with materials, just make sure you have something selected while doing it.

Think you might want to revise the multiple camera angles for when he grabs the little dude.
At first I thought he was grabbing 3 of them, not just the same dude shown from different angles.
Even some quicker timing on the switches might work to fix that.

He actually is grabbing 3 of them. Maybe I should change it to show him squishing each one he grabs. The reason I only showed him squishing the last one is because I wanted it to be a bit of a surprise, up until this point he is portrayed as friendly in the full animation.
(Personally I despise the "show the same shot from multiple angles" technique, I guess I should probably try storyboarding to avoid accidentally recreating that look.)

I wanted to turn it into one of those garage kits that you buy in parts then paint and assemble yourself but I'm not sure how to do it or where to split the model exactly, where to put all the holes and keys, where to even start now that I have a mostly finished model, so I'm very afraid to start dynameshing things together.

Ah, well I guess you don't really need to change it then.
Though I think maybe between shots do a tiny shot of him doing another grab, like left hand (cut to a grab), right (cut to another grab), then left again (cut to the final grab), and then showing the squish, might read better that he's grabbing multiple.

You're better off working with a fully merged model and cutting it into parts later. Choosing where to cut it can be tricky, you basically want the seams to be where they won't be too visible but some other factors can play into it too. For example if you're planning on casting your model then you should try having mostly straight/flat pieces.
If you're using zbrush it has decent tools for doing booleans, otherwise Meshmixer can do it too.

I do think the other anon is onto something, you need to show the picker crushing each one afterwards, or you could go with the camera lingering a little longer, followed by some sound effect or light flash slightly off screen to clue us in. I did initially think it was one of those same shot, multiple angles type shots at first.

Your just acting retarded right? Your sculpt looks nothing like the reference picture but your technique is pretty solid. Just make her more rounded like the picture. Soften the features. Put some fat in the cheeks, shorten the ends of the eyebrows and upturn her nose. Oh and most importantly reduce chin.

Your character's head is too tall. You're also over defining the features which is making her look older + more mannish. The philtrum is too long, the nostril corners are pushed up too high, the corners of the browbone are too well defined, the laugh lines coming off the nose are too defined, the chin is too defined the lips are straight and lacking the bow in the middle, etc etc. You need to take a step back and get the big proportions down before you get more specific.

I think you're staring at your monitor too long. This happens to me all the time: I become blind to something that is right there in front of me. Perhaps you can rotate your lights around your model to cast different shadows? I know you can't turn your monitor upside down but you get the idea. Also, your burnt out on this. Move to another model, you have your whole life in front of you, stoke it with happiness and joy.

I think the issue may be that you have spent a lot of time sculpting male heads and the things you learned from those male heads developed into habits, so when you sculpt a female head, those male features you learned instinctively find their way into your work. Like what >>913944 said, it may help to analyze female heads more closely, and maybe act like you've forgotten what you know about male heads so those habits don't reappear.

Like someone else said all your features are too sharp. Study a skull and how the bony landmarks shape the face. Those bulges you have beside the eyes dont exist it's a much smoother transition. The eye bags are too small vertically and too sharp. The mouth corners are too small and too puckered. Don't make lipstick lips and ignore makeup. Nostrills and nose bridge are too defined. Jaw is tapered too much and has no underlying neck muscles, even a very thin person isn't just a skull on a stick.

I got a short curve to take the array of scales. The head needs to match the body. Tonight I will apply the modifiers on the short curve then go sculpting the head. Doesn't need to be too detailed. Put girl in a sitting pose, standing would be harder to compose a shot. It's going to be a long night.

Don't know if it is some specific weapons you are modelling, but generally speaking longsword's grip should be bit longer, while hammer has the opposite issue. Longswords were prevalent in 14th and they usually had longer grips (to nearly two hands). That is if that is supposed to be a longswords and not an arming sword (which were pretty much a sidearm), in which case grip is fine, but blade should be shorter and wider.
War hammer on the other hand, was most often solely one hand weapon and were generally shorter and in case of full metal ones, a bit thinner.
Also why no gauntlets? They had articulated fingers back then. You can make it easier on yourself by doing mittens, they look very cool too.
Otherwise I like it, it is rare to see medieval stuff being posted here.

Thanks, great points! its supposed to be an arming sword, i used Oakeshott typology as reference, but i think the scale is a bit off, had to make it slightly larger to accommodate the hand on the grip without clipping, but ill see if shortening the blade works. The hammer is also from a reference but i agree with you, especially scale a bit off, probably reworking that later, the weapons there are just for fun, later ill give him a proper pole axe. Gauntlets are coming but like a noob ive been putting it off heheh, shouldnt be that tough though, have made gauntlets before.

What's the best way to do fine panel lines like pic rel? I've tried painting them on, but with such fine lines, even the most minor distortion on the UV seems to make it look awful, especially when crossing a seam. I don't want to go excessively high resolution because I want it to be low-mid poly.

keep UV seams on the edges and unwrap it so a one pixel horizontal line is always parallel to the seams and straight without that diagonal blocky pixelation. also texture for the roughness not necessarily the diffuse to get very subtle panel lines in lighting.

Really nice.
Only a few things that I can see;
-Vision slits should be longer to give better peripheral vision
-The bit that attaches the aventail to the helmet should go a little further up to just over the eyebrows
-Gauntlets should have more of an hourglass shape. Right now they're too flat to allow for full movement of the wrist
-Top of visor should fit closer to the helmet. If you look at historical examples those things sit on really tight
-The little protrusions on the elbow and knees cops that defend the inside of the knees and elbows are usually only on the outside of the joint
-Maybe add some more breaths to the right side of the helmet?

Still in the blockout phase.
Also the interior is pretty much planed out plastering it full of joysticks, switches and screens.
Got enough abandoned projects to kitbash something together really quick for figuring out what works and such.
Most critical phase for me to move as fast as possible to not loose interest in the idea.
If i got something interesting to look at the 'Tism starts to kick in and its relaxing modeling form there cause the macro creative stuff is mostly done and the micro creativity of coming up with connecting shapes , solving topology problems is more fun in my smooth brain.

So I've tried to import a Rigify-rigged character into Unity, but it's like the character has two separate sets of spine bones, with the front attaching to one of them and the back to the other.
Did I import it wrong? Is there any way to fix this?
I can kinda work around it by selecting the two spine bones that match if I want to create or tweak an animation in Unity, but it seems like a pointless hassle.

Hey, has anyone else notice that you can add as many bones as you like to a model? Like, I'm still learning how to rig, right? And I see these tutorials that have very simple bone set ups. But you don't have to be that simple. You can add a shit ton more bones to move the mesh around however you like. That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to build a rig that moves the body in a realistic way. Well... semi realistic anyway. You'll see.

Am I tripping, or is that topology actually good? I mean, you shaped it into something horrific. But I imagine the same topology in more capable hands would actually result in a decent model.

This topology is spot on, and >>914489 is the SAME topology but with the armor morph plus some hair and proper teeth, not mentioning the texture.
Is a simple 3D actor, to be blunt, and the difference from a more commercial model would be the armor version having a different, more precise mesh than that.

Cut me some slack. I'm still a beginner myself. I don't know what what optimal topology looks like. All I know is from google images, and a few months of practice. And I'm not saying it's the best topology in the world. I just said it's "actually good". As compared to the bizarre shape he sculpted it into.

It’s funny you’d be going around insulting people's models and telling them what they shouldn't be modeling when your final render looks like >>914666. >>914731 Seems like a troll pretending to be you for whatever reason, but that model does look like you just pulled it out of DAZ. I don’t care what you do in your free time, but you need to get over yourself because you’re not in a position to be judging people who are trying to learn how to make their own characters instead of pretending they're hot shit because they used a program to make one for them. A lot of those character models aren’t great, but that’s just how it is when someone is new.

I will call out shit when I see it. And it's not just my personal observation, it will be a fact. I will not hide behind an Anonymous post. If I tell you your work is shit I will post my own WIP or I will put my handle in the name field. You will know it's me.
As a young boy I always yearned to get a peek at the Playboy's and Penthouse's behind the counter in every 7-Eleven. I was not sure why I was drawn to those covers. The women were displaying their nude bodies to the world and I could not help but imagine what that would could convey to me. Was it a step to becoming a man? To see those women give their beauty to the camera for the world to appreciate? What I might learn and know. I would never get to those magazines. The clerk was always right there. But one day when I was about ten-years-old I was looking through a book on photography. And there, on a page somewhere in the middle, was a small black and white photo of a woman who was without a top. I felt so much for her. I took that book into the garage and stared at the page for hours, on more than one occasion. A beautiful Burnette. And I felt that she displayed her essence as a woman just for me alone. That picture was my quiet secret in the garage. There was something about her. She was so beautiful and her womanhood was a majestic song, calling to me.
I am one of the last men in this age who has not been initiated to porn via the Internet. A woman's body is of a sacred meaning. Not the trash implications that you get on your phone and post the same garbage on this board. It's not learning, it's trash. A woman is not a hole to stick your dick into. And the nigger-speak that goes along with it is juvenile. It does nothing to promote learning one iota. Quite the opposite.
Hanna is a DAZ skin. So is James. I've spent years working on the rigs and finally gave up and made new ones via Maximo, Human Generator, Rigify, I've tried everything to get these to work inside of Blender.

Not only are you talentless, but you are a schizo. Those models were not made by you, you used multiple programs to hold your hand with rigging, and the only thing you have made is a fucking particle system. Even cris provides more value to this board because at least his shitty models are entertaining. There's been like 2 coomposters in this thread, one of them was fucking Simpsons porn, and the other one was 3DGuy which you would be able to get a laugh out of if you weren't a newfag. Trying and failing while learning how to model the body literally is part of the process, and you would know that if you weren't a DAZlet. Please keep using that tripcode so people can filter you.

Blender cloth sims work good enough for now. I wanted to use these fancy cloth sculpting tools too, but i have found no settings that worked, they just mangle the geometry, no tweaks to falloffs, sim scales, strengths and what not.
So i will stick to sims as waiting for bakes is slower than sculpting, but not 3fps one miss click 2s wait slow.

Not really sure.
It supposed to be cloth. Like the cargo bay of the space shuttle, i guess that was mostly for insulation.
But the main function on this robot is just soft paneling so if operates around humans, like getting in and out of vehicles to not scuff up everything.
Also going for a space suit look.
Main reason for this. I wanted to try something different than just hard surface greeble as all the other hard surface artist do.

I'll tell you what it is. It is inflatable material to quickly get out of the depths of the sea. Robot's exoskeleton is for sure titanium (considering its matte silvery material), which is very light, so it would work wonders. When squidbro needs to quickly get to surface, he just inflates it and air inside quickly takes him up.
When not in use, it could either stay deflated. Or filled with some liquid (for insulation), so you have an alibi to not model deflated version.
