I downloaded this rig from the game anim book for Maya and whenever I open it, the view's way of rotationg is totally different from the default one? How can I revert back to the default settings?

With blender, I have about three scenes in order finished. Is there a way to sort of “group” everything in the timeline (ie:the camera, object, and grease pencil lines) in such a way that I can move everything further along in the timeline so I can work on the opening scene of the animation?

You would be getting much more useful advice if you can tell everyone what you CAN do, and what you're STRUGGLING to do
rn you're just asking 'how do i do 3d modelling', and the answer to that is always 'watch tuts' and 'practice moar'

Anyone worked with subdermal/scatter color maps before? Getting this weird artifacting with my scatter radius in areas that have 0 or close to 0 green and blue on my subdermal map. My map is a 16bit png and I'm importing it in linear color space, do I need to go up to 32-bit?

I'm retarded so I don't know what to export as for things with color that aren't albedo. I know you're supposed to use high-bit-depth for important grayscales like height, and important "RGB" like normal maps, but I'm basically throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks for maps like subdermal where there's about 2 tablespoons worth of information on the internet.
I'm currently working around the problem by adding in the smallest amount of yellow and blue so that there are no places where there's 0 g/b, but I'd like to hear what professionals do in regards to this.

I don't understand what you mean? Don't you just need to move the camera and set some keyframes for it? Group every scenes and import them in the same project o you have 3 different groups in your panel that you can move separately. Move them apart and then do whatever you want with the camera. But again I'm not sure to understand what you want to do

I animated an entire scene in Blender(which was the middle part of my animation), I basically need to take everything I animated and move it further down the timeline so that I can work on an earlier scene. The problem is that I don’t know how I can do that when the camera, various objects, and grease pencil animations are all on different “dope sheets”.
I could just click on each individual element, select all the “frames” on the dope sheet, and move them further along the timeline, but I figure there’s gotta be a way to just select everything in my scene, group it, then move it all further along so I can animate earlier in the scene.
As of now the best thing I can think of is rendering the animation I have, opening a new file, importing that rendered video file, then just moving it further down the timeline and animating the opening in the software. Still, I think there will be some quality loss there.
So basically, if I could just take the current animation I got, group it into a “scene” so that I can move it around the timeline, and do something new earlier in the timeline, I’d be good to go.

Any reason you can't just render it out and then put your sequence wherever you want in post? You don't think animations are one continuous animation, do you?

……………………….. now hear me out… I’ve been figuring out a new workflow and animation style in blender that has had me searching all these complex things to make certain aspects of it work…. so when it came to something as simple as what you just said I didn’t even think of that.
Not to mention in Flash/Animate and Toonboom you handle your scenes and moving them around a little differently.
Anyways, I really appreciate the answer. I’m a bit embarrassed at how stumped I was with this issue though, still, I’d have been stumped a lot longer without your help.

Studying this trim sheet, I'm curious how they went about making the wood grain. I know they sculpted the bigger cracks in with ZBrush but is the wood grain texture itself just a basic Substance Painter smart material? Doesn't seem to be handpainted or anything.

In marvelous designer How do I lock movement around an axis?
Like in blender using the key "Z" locks the movement of whatever you are moving around the Z axis; so the faces, edge etc that you selected only moves up and down.
Shift, alt, "Z, X, Y" don't seem to work on the 2D editor panel.

Just for presentation? Unreal is better for real-time rendering and is even seeing frequent use in the film industry, however you will die of old age waiting for shaders to load. Unity is easier to use but it keeps shooting itself in the foot with retarded business decisions, I'd go with Marmoset or something else instead if you decide against Unreal.

I don't know, but it's not like you can travel in time and start uploading it 3 years ago. Once again, no choice, this is what you have, upload it.
>Is artistation even the way to go for more architectural renders?
I think what matters about portfolios is not that they are where all the others, but that they look like a thing that generates value and explains what you've been up to all these years. For example, your portfolio could be a bunch of models in an asset store, or stuff used in a course you sell, or assets you model and release with a free license, and so on. Then you would make a website or something and index all your stuff in there so it looks like a portfolio. If I see it I understand that you've been selling houses for people to use in games or whatever. If I ask you why you picked artstation and you don't say something that communicates some sort of value, then you're a bad candidate in my mind.

Yeh the thing is I thought artistation just because I have no idea where else. My mentor/employer passed away suddenly which is why I'm now looking for work, otherwise I had no need to a portfolio and that's why I'm kinda scrambling to get one together now and have no idea how to go about it.
I got plenty of renders and stuff dating back years from the studio, idk anything about website creation though, that's why I was considering artistation. My work was arch vis renders used for clients and billboards etc. Ty for the reply anon.

Using Blender. How does "marking edge as sharp" even work? I'm downloading models to study their topology and I realized a lot of edges are marked as sharp. I have never done that. Should I be marking a bunch of them as sharp on every model? I tried it and it didn't seem to do anything.

Under the hood it actually doubles the vertices on the edge and unwelds them so the normals don't average over it giving you a hard shaded edge.

whats a good way of splitting an object into two without getting this sharp raised up edge along the split
Im trying to make a mask and then split it into two so you can actually put it on but I cant get over this shitty ridge you get along the edge

transfer normals with a data transfer modifier set to edge corner data, you may have to duplicate a non-split mesh to use as a transfer target.

blender newbie here, also not too knowledgeable on electromagnetism so forgive me if I use the wrong words here. working on a video and I'm trying to replicate some electric field lines (see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/
Basically, my thinking was that the particle will trace the same paths shown in the video, because the principle is the same, namely a force outward from one point and inward from the other. Then I'll just rotate the particle 1 degree about the positive charge and repeat the simulation, taking new curves until I have a 180 frame animation.
I know Blenders physics engine isn't the best, but I think it should work for this simple task. So I'm wondering where I went wrong here. Attached is a gif of a test of my setup. As you can see, the particle isn't tracing the intended path. Why is that?
Also, if anyone has a better idea of how to create these electric field lines, please let me know. Sorry for the long post and if anyone wants to help, thank you!

How the fuck do you cut text onto a surface in maya
Like to punch a hole through a plane with text, and not have it linked to the original text-object
I managed to boolean > Differeance (A - B) but now I have this stupid ass lingering 3D shadow that I can't get rid of
I don't even know how to combine the attributes/boolean permanently and make them a singular thing, it treats the hole as an object connected to the text and I can't edit the plane further

Do you guys pack your textures? What can you do when the texel density isn't in the same ballpark? For example, in the same park I have a wall that's 30 x 15 meters, and a door that's 2 x .9 meters. The UVs of the wall are half of the UV space, and the door is about a 1/12. Obviously, the wall looks blurry and the door looks great; the image is 1024 x 1024 and the textures are 512 x 512. Any neat tricks to improve my texel density?

I have several questions regarding Maya if a kind soul can answer them:
1/ Why is pic related happening? I opened a scene with an imported rig and I can't move my window the right way. Moving the mouse up and down works but doing the same left and right rotate the view in the wrong axis (want to rotate the view in the y axis (up)). When I create a scene from scratch, this problem disappears. Also the grid is showing on the wrong plane axis too. Front view is telling me that my mesh is in the correct position but I don't know...
2/ How do I control the strength of the move/scale/roation tool? I tought it was supposed to be that blue half circle thing on the top right of the channel box but it doesn't change anything? Same problem when sliding a specific channel, it moves the thing in round numbers and never less than that so I can't move precisely anithing.
3/ When animating, is there a native way to put the rigged character in its original position or do I need to use a script (can't believe they don't have this option built-in but I can't find the option on Google if it even exists)?

Blendlet here. Still trying to figure out the right way to approaching modeling this cow kaiju thing. I've tried making the limbs and torso but I'm not really sure how to tackle the head. Everything I attempt to make feels wrong or I'm setting myself up for failure down the road because I have no real grasp of 'fundamentals' that I would assume someone should have before attempting things. A lot of the tutorials I'm finding are fairly basic stuff which just involve extruding, beveling, and just a few cut loops but nothing actually intricate. The videos I find are either super beginner or someone just speeding through some kind of project at 10x speed so I can't learn anything except for slowing it down and trying to make sense of what I'm looking at.

1. Import - will cahnge the settings into the environment of that file - that is probably how the guy who made azri rig navigates.
Grid is set up for Z axis in (settings -> display) for UNreal engine/game engine export. instead of usual Y, just change it if it bothers You there.
Use reference editor to reference rig into Your files, this will prevent You duplicating rig all over the files.
2. That is only for Channel box specific. If You want more precision/slowdown change the tool settings (the hammer icon top right) and use J key for snapping to certian numeric value increments
the slowness of viewport may be due to pivot lock - select your model and click F to re-focus on it and it should allow You to rotate much better
3. Depends on how rig is set up, Advanced skelton comes with its own biped picked that lets you zero in.
In general You can do Your own script by echo all commands in script editor, selecting all controllers and zero-ing in the settings using channel box.
overall, Maya does not have same reset as Blenderlets have.

The thing about faces is that the edge loops gotta have the right topology. You can't do that while you're worrying about the shape though, so you need to retopologize afterwards. Can you make that head with only the basic operations you mentioned and the retopo it? I guess; people used to do it in the past, so it's not impossible. The pro way is to sculpt it though. Sculpt the head and then retopologize it and stitch it to the body.

/beg/ here, how hard would it be to "remaster" models extracted from old videogames, say PS2-PS3 old? Something like making more realistic hair and skin/clothing materials.
I assume messing with the textures would be a huge pain in the ass because they're very compressed, so you'd have to basically redraw them from scratch or try your luck with AI upscaling.

ultimately it depends on too many factors to say, like are you working with normal maps or displacements, what method your studio uses, what surface is receiving the treatment and like the other anon said the specificity of the surfacing.
Hammered metal is an interesting example because on a flat surface I'd rather do it in texturing but on a sphere or complex surface I'd rather sculpt it. You can also put in your initial displacement in mari then bring it into zbrush to work it up more so really like all 3d stuff the only answer I can give is find what works for you.

I want to turn them into back dimples.
I want them geometry based, not just made with normal maps.
Any idea on how to separate the vertex into a convincing back dimple?

try creasing the vertex, but the topo is so sparse you're probably going to have to add an edge loop around the pole

sort of, but it's a scalar from 0.0 to 1.0 as opposed to just on off like mark sharp
use the operator search thing, there's edge crease and vertex crease. and there's a checkbox in the subsurf modifier to use creases (on by default) which sharpens the mesh at those edges. to remove crease use the same operator and slide the mouse to the left or type in a negative number. handy for subsurf modeling

I'm trying to make a relief in ZBrush - basically a stone wheel with ornaments engraved in it. I've created a low-poly base mesh, keeping the poly count as low as possible in Blender, imported it into ZBrush, creased edges, divided, used ZRemesher and started sculpting on it.
Am I doing anything wrong so far? I am not planning on using it in animation, so do I need to unwrap it, create maps or is it better to just use triplanar mapping? What should I use to render - is blender fine or should I use something like KeyShot?
Pic related, I wanna do something like that.

personally, I would UV it, use decimation on the high poly down to a few million triangles (with keep UV on) then just texture it in substance painter, the painter viewport can handle up to 20 million ish triangles.
Then you can render it wherever you like and have complete control over the surface.

Pic semi-related, I'm going for something like this but I'll be doing thinner/longer muscles for this project (almost like tentacles).
Anything you can tell me about adding veins would be cool too. Or wrapping randomized tendrils to a surface like strips of flesh wrapped on bones, veins along on flesh, or even plants/vines growing along a pole (geonodes/ nondestructive preferred).

Jesus you fucking retard. Watch a video before you even attempt stuff. To retopologize you:
>make a plane
>toggle snap vertex to face
>snap the tiny plane to your model
>extrude an edge to make a new plane of the same size
>again
>again
>again
>everything snaps to the model and the shape is 95% the same but with fewer faces
If your thing has purposeful edge loops, then retopo those first and then grid fill the empty space between them; be conscious of when and where a pole must exist to make the grid match. That picture takes like a couple minutes to retopologize.

This is the short version.
Normal maps are 2d representations of the orientation of the surface and they can be stored in an image format.
Paralax maps are a 3d representation of the position of each point of that surface and they cannot be stored in a single image format. THey are stored normally in a cube and metadata that contains the 3d offest of each pixel in that cube's faces.
It's not rocket science its basic maths.

A technique called assumed surface uv mapping. A little insight can be looked here.
If you are making a game I assume you know a game engine, that shader should be done in-engine not in the model. If you are simulating the behavior inside a cad program you should try connecting an uv node to the surface resulting of a slice node. I know how to do it in 3ds max but again that shouls be done in-game.

Anyone here who would happen to know / be so nice to tell me about if it's possible to achieve exactly this style within Blender or other current software?
I can't help but notice that the character models used in, for example, a lot PS1 FMVs (Silent Hill, RE3, Parasite Eve, etc.) and on the cover of some early-00s video game magazines, all share an extremely similar style that I've always found very endearing.
I don't really know anything yet about 3DCG, but I've always wanted to be able to make models in this style (I mean with the same old shading and everything) and I'm wondering if it's as simple as just keeping things lower poly and unticking a couple boxes to achieve it, or if it would still look "too good" even at that point and the only way would be to use old software. And if so, which one would that even be?

What's the best site to grab video game character models from? I'm specifically looking for various ones from the PS1 and 2 era to use for reference.
The best one I've found so far is models-resource, but it's lacking a LOT of IPs and I can't imagine there not being something better out there.

ive been having an issue with bone heat in blender when trying to assign automatic weights. ive figured out the vertices that cause the issue by going to edit mode and selecting non-manifold. but what's next? deleting it assigns the weights, but at the cost of losing details in the model. i've tried decimate, and it worked after basically the entire model became 1/5th it's polygon size. any ideas?

there aren't any, atleast not categorized with PS2. model resources are also extremely slow, submissions get approved atleast within 8 weeks because of the massive influx of rigs being uploaded, and only few siteadmins to approve. your best bet is searching through deviantart and hope to find XNAlara ports, or scour through 3D websites and hope to score

I want to make GD similar to this video which is y2k aesthetics
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lma
I have no experience in anything other than editing software that I've made title slides for. I just want that look of super crisp 60fps+ motion that the video has but I have no idea where to start. Any tips?

I'm trying to export a .blend file to use in DAZ. However the object has hair which when exported as an OBJ and imported into DAZ becomes solid. I assumed it was done with a transparency map, but looking at the image files in the UV editor there doesn't seem to be one. It also exports a MTL file to the same folder as the OBJ but it doesn't seem to contain the information, I've tried ticking all options when exporting the OBJ but no dice. I also tried FBX format instead but that just became an abomination when imported.
Is it possible that blender handles the transparency in such as a way as it can't be exported? I don't know much about blender except using it to import/export different file formats.

I have some models and renders for a portfolio but no idea how to present them. How do I go on about it without a website of my own?

Generally this happens because you're applying the boolean to a non-manifold surface. I had exactly the same problem a while back trying to cut a window into a wall because the wall was a plane. Make sure the geometry of the sole is manifold (i.e. it's a slod object and there's no holes in it)

I dunno in blender but in max sometimes even with the two objects being manifold the boolean doesn't happen because the resulting surfaces result in crossed tris, solving this is a nifhtmare because you must take into account the "poly density" of the two objects before a boolean and the result is non subdividablecand/ or smoothable The best advice in my book is model the sole using poly modelling.

Just don't.
Using Booleans to archive that kind of result - you trying to be clever and use a "shortcut"?
It's an dead end, stop wasting your time with this kind of half-assed shit and learn how to model properly.

In max, why is the bridge edit poly button that can't be shortcutted with the repeated action button?
Why does it still crash 4 times a day.
Why can't you view layers in true view?
Why are you the adobe of 3d?

I think Clarisse would be a good shout there though unreal might be a real option with nanite foliage now being a thing.
Clarisse indie is 2x the cost of Houdini indie though, and if you wanna make 30 buildings with interiors covered in foliage Houdini is gonna help

I don't know much about Houdini, but if it handles big scenes well I could just use it instead.

How the fuck do you deal with motivation.
Literally starting back retail after the company I worked for doing actual 3d shit for 5+ years fell apart.
I have no motivation to work on a portfolio and iv had literally 3 months of paid free time in which I haven't been able to bring myself to do so.
What the fuck is wrong with me, starting next week I'm gonna have much less free time to actually work on my portfolio to show off what I know and the longer I wait the more employers are gonna be like err well wtf can you do

do you watch porn or play videogames? those destroy motivation, so cut them completely. also try improving your diet. more meat and vegetables, less carbs. raw milk if you can get it. get on a good workout schedule too.

I want to make a rocking chair from a 3D cad file I found online, however, I lack the technical knowledge needed to get accurate measurements. I already watched a bunch of pajeet tutorials to try and figure it out but it's not happening. Where do I find people that are willing to help me with this?

And these are the vertexes. That triangle has to exist for the bevel to work right? But then how do I achieve this without artifacts? All vertexes are on the same level, so the faces are planar.

What is a good pentablet for sculpting under $50-$60.
Wacom is expensive in my country. I have Huion - HS610, HS611. Gaomon M1230, M10K Pro. Which should I get. I am going to be doing sculpting.

is python programming in blender similar to node editing?
like does it have all the features of geometry/shader nodes??
usually in other software the nodes are built ontop of the programming language so that code illiterates can do stuff
i was just wondering because i wanna get into it but i dont wanna miss out on all the features....
