Edge volume 03.webm

Anonymous No. 968550

>>968046
This was a struggle. Just about all of my spare energy for the last 5 days have been dedicated to figuring out how to make all the points move along with the edges. I couldn't figure out how to rotate the points. So instead I did some voodoo math where the points know how far along they are in the edge in the resting position, and then find that place along the edge in the new posed position. Honestly, I'm not even sure how it works. Sometimes I'm blessed with brief windows of understanding. And then I look back at what I did, and I'm confounded.

Anyway, check out the points moving. Armature controlled.

Edge volume 04.webm

Anonymous No. 968551

>>968550
With the inner points set up, then mesh knows how distant it is from the inside. And so I can tell the points, "you've lost X amount of volume, fix that by scaling Y amount". And so the points avoid volume loss. For now, it works best on simple tube shapes. Like this elbow here. But for other parts of the body, it gets all jagged and ugly. Part of the problem is that there isn't a smooth transition between zones of influence. I have no idea how I'm going to solve that. But that's the next big hurdle.

I'm going to take a break from this though. I should have taken a break before, but I just couldn't rest until I figured out how to make the points fit the edges properly. Now that that's done, it's a good place to break.

is posting textures okay?
I'm recreating a scene from Blood in 3D and thought I'd try and recreate the look of the textures while I'm at it
I compiled a load of textures from Blood, made a palette out of it in Aseprite, then got my own textures (top section) and ran it through the palette in Aseprite
works okay I think, although anything with white, purple or bright green doesn't work nicely since Blood doesn't do those colors

So I've been testing 3DF Zephyr with videos to get references to sculpt, overall the results are great, it is faster and it requires less machine than meshroom, the only problems are the fremiun version, limited to 50 images mask included, but it has a mask editor, and the workflow is less automatized.

Eventually solved my guitar string issue so I want to thank that anon for his advice. I ended up doing it in a semi-unconventional way because I'm lazy, but I'm sure it's okay. It does look much better, the strings are the right gauge now, and I got the faces down from ~1m for the strings alone to 82k for the whole model so I'm happy with that. I think I'm going to have to make some kind of normal map for them though because I just can't find one anywhere.

Also started texturing it and it looks dogshit. Although I've never been good at texturing. I was going to put it into substance, but I'm not sure what substance is like when it comes to ngons. Probably isn't worth doing it that way anyway for what it is.

Can't you just do it procedurally? Pic related should be enough of a starting point. For far away views anyway.
For close ups though you'd do a bit more.
Throw some roughness on there at certain points to break up the perfect gloss, maybe tarnish them a bit near the top of the neck where your fingers would go, and where you strum, so it looks like it was played. Add some slight marking on the bottoms of the strings where the strings would hit the little ribs on the fretboard. Somehow figure out a good way to get some dirt and fuzz between the coils... All that nitty gritty jazz.

I didn't think about doing it that way, but it looks like it's worked perfectly well. Thanks. From a distance it's really subtle and I won't be doing any close ups so it's all cool.
I'll take a look at some refs for markings and such and see how I get on. I was watching a tutorial not long ago about adding dirt and fuzz and things so now might be the right time to give that a shot too. Although because it isn't close up it might not be worth it. Still, if I do decide to do some close ups I would definitely add that kind of thing in.
Appreciate all of your help.

While I'm here I might as well ask, I did a test render on something else, but I don't really know how to explain it, it's got this black rectangle across part of the texture. It's almost like the texture is being shrunk or the bottom is being moved up on the Z axis when it's rendered, but in the viewport it looks fine.
Anyone know what this could be? First time I've came across it.

Work on my lizard slut continues, did her head, will do the body too, soon
I also toyed around with skyboxes a bit, trying to figure them out. They're actually extremely simple: I tried Unreal Engine once and it seemed super complicated to set all the "sky stuff", let's call it that, up (so sky color, clouds, ambiental lighting etc.), but it's actually much, much simpler than that. The quick and dirty sky here is just a box with some keyframes to make it rotate ever so slowly. I also disabled its shadowcasting and plugged the Diffuse texture into the the Material's Emissive slot as well.
Anyway my attempt is very amateurish so I'll need to find some tuts that go a bit more in depth

Take a look at this guy's work: https://www.reddit.com/r/blender/comments/16zr58k/3d_straight_skeleton_test_using_geometry_nodes/
He uses simulation to find the center of limbs. Those center points are a lot smoother than the ones I created and will probably get better results when deformed. I don't know.

I'm still not sure how to proceed. I'll have to think on it some more.

It was on repeat, but that didn't seem to matter because I'd moved the UVs to a position where you wouldn't see any repeating.
At first I thought I might have had something in the way that was causing a shadow or rendering in front of it, pretty much the same as you say, but I disabled everything except that just to be sure and it still happens. Also tried to remove doubles too and there were none.
I'm going to try a different image and see if it happens with that too.

How do you use the HDRI lighting, but remove it from reflections? I'm not even sure if it is the HDRI I added or the default blender one.

Not sure entirely what you mean.
If you mean that you want to change the background to something else without affecting the reflections, you can do something like the left example.
If you want to affect ONLY the reflections, you can do something like the right example. I have half the object diffuse and half reflective to show that it's reflecting something different but keeping the lighting of the original for the diffuse.
If you want to remove reflections entirely, you'd do the same thing as the right, but set the color of the second input to black instead of inputting an HDRI.

Ignore the gamma node in the examples, they're just there to tweak the values to make the effect more prominent.

that I needed. I was trying to remove the HDRI from the viewport background and from the reflections in the object itself. I'm not even at the lighting stage yet, but it was doing my head in every time I noticed it.

Are you that anon who was helping me with my guitar btw? If you are, it's gradually getting there I think. I just need to vastly improve my textures and work out how to properly map the imperfections.
I've only tried one so far, and white is probably the worst choice to use for them to show up, but still. When you zoom in you can see where the map doesn't extend . It's just there so I remember to go back to it.

Maybe?
I posted the string texture nodes and also recommended using curves.
It's looking pretty good though! If you're looking for imperfections, I have a black flying V guitar and that thing is a fingerprint and smudge magnet (especially where you rest your strumming hand and near the dials). Dust also likes to pool in the area between and around the pickups and that bit after the bridge where the strings angle down. Though to be honest I haven't played mine in a while, so the dust might just be because of that.

Thanks dude appreciate that. I've looked up some pics specifically of flying Vs to see where the fingerprints and smudges are and it's pretty much just as you describe. I'm thinking that once I do the lighting properly it might highlight the imperfections a lot better. If not I might have to change the color.
Would using AO working for dust/grime/dirt around the pickups and anywhere else you'd expect it? I could do dust with particles in those sort of places, but I really don't think they'd be noticeable unless the camera was closeup so I was looking for a little cheaty way to do it because of the distance.

Testing vertex colors for painting in shadows and light highlights in environments. I feel it's getting there but could use more work. Having said that, the fact I can use as many vertex color attributes as I want to do stuff is very cool.

AO could work for around the pickups, sure. Then maybe mask off some areas in particular where you want dust to show up without relying on the AO on its own.
I think if you're using Blender 4.0 the new Principled BSDF node has a newer implementation of Sheen that is pretty nifty for dust (from how they've described it anyway).
If not, using the AO for the areas close to the pickups (a lower AO sample size might actually give a nice bit of graininess), and then using the AO as a mask to adjust the roughness and mix a bit of a dusty color into the base color would work pretty well I think. Maybe even breaking that up a bit more with a high frequency noise texture too.
Main thing is to bump up the roughness and use a grey color for the areas where dust will appear.

raycast volume.webm

Anonymous No. 970140

>>968551
I just realized something yesterday. And I should have seen it sooner. I can set up the raycast node, so that the rays start inside of the mesh, facing outward. I've been so focused on rays going from outside to in. When I should have been thinking from inside to out.

Now, the mesh knows when it's intersecting itself... about halfway. It detects intersection up to the point where the intersecting mesh passes through the center points. Then the rays are freed up again, as if they're not being hit at all.(because they aren't)
So it's probably not the grand solution I was looking for. But perhaps I can make it work by shooting a second set of rays from the backs of the first set of rays. I don't know. My head is swimming with ideas right now. None of them seem very good.

this looks really nice. how do you make your textures?
in regards to 'use as many vertex color attributes as I want' do you mean using more than just Multiply or whatever in the shading tab? here's how I usually set mine up

Anonymous No. 970321

>>970295
I'm intending to use multiple so I can do various effects and possibly some texture blending, and I realized that Blender let's you have more than one Color Attribute.

It does mean that it is more complex to use since I have to paint two separate layers, but it also means I have alot of control over scene tone and how I paint in lighting without really needing lights in the scene.
I will likely need to add lights in the setup at some point, but for now I want to see how far I can go with just this to keep the look authentic.

Edge projection c....webm

Anonymous No. 970449

>>968550
I'm trying to figure out how to make the points bend between edges. I came up with this. But I'm not sure it's the best way. Basically, it sort of works like curves, except not using curves. The edges are set up so that only 2 edges connection. And then I do a bunch of node bullshit to sample the 2 end points of each edge. get their average position, then mix between the potions of the projected points and the average of the end points. Then set the factor of the mix by how near the projected points are to the center connected points of the edges.

It's probably not necessary to do all of this if I actually used curves. But I'm being stubborn and avoiding curves.

I did make her for fun, but also because I wanted to make a game. In spite of the way she dresses, I wasn’t planning on making a porn game (but still an adult game), I’ve just been wanting to play around with the idea of a topless female character design for a while. My inspiration for such a design comes from my interest in history and cultures, like the way women from ancient civilizations around the equator (Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, SE Asia, etc.) would sometimes dress since it’s hot down there, and people had different standards of decency compared to today. I also take inspiration from some of the strange artwork some cultures created, like African power figures. They’re ugly little dudes, but I love them dearly and they make for great inspiration for monster designs.

It might just be me, but something feels off with the scale. It could be the bins. Where I'm from they're about 3.5ft tall and those red bricks are about 3.5". So there should be around 12 bricks per bin height. But in the render the bins are only 5 or 6 bricks high. Sort of feels like I'd tripped over them if I rounded the corner.

I don't feel like there's anything to really look at in this. It's all modeled alright, but it's composed badly. The lines (and light) in the alleyway lead my eyes down it for zero payoff. Contrast is nonexistent. Loads of empty space on either side of the image that doesn't work well with what's going on in the center (I'd probably crop it to half of the walls on either side).
Never call your work garbage, that's for other people to say, but hopefully you've learned some things to use on your next project.

Yeah, you should use reference for absolutely everything.
It's not considered a "flex" when someone says they didn't use reference, it's just a red flag that they're bad at what they do. And they'll try to use that (and "I only did it in like an hour on my lunch break") as excuses as to why something is bad. Some people really are fine not using ref if they've really mastered what they're doing, but most people aren't masters.
You get a pass for now since you literally just started yesterday. Still, it's a good practice to use reference.

A little exercise my drawing teacher made us do that kinda really sent that home for me, was to draw a picture of your favorite dinosaur (or something else) from memory and then draw it again using reference images. It's obvious, but the ones using ref always turned out better.

If you drew from memory again, then your new memory dino would be better than your old memory dino. References are great for learning many things, but you should also have the ability to recall what you learned from memory. Part of your teacher's exercise should have shown you how you can improve your ability to visualize. Not always rely on references for every little thing.

I think you might have misinterpreted what I was trying to say. I wasn't sperging out, I recognize what he said. I know he wasn't trying to brag about not using reference. That's not really what I was saying, though I can see it being interpreted as that. I was just trying to say it's a good idea to use it, especially as a beginner. Since as a beginner it's easy to get into that pitfall of "well it's going to look like shit anyway, I'll use ref when I'm actually trying seriously to make something".

>If you drew from memory again, then your new memory dino would be better than your old memory dino.
Absolutely, I'm not arguing that. Still, having something handy to look at to reinforce that memory is better than not. Memory is nebulous and can change without you really knowing. Sure, I can know what something looks like, and be completely familiar with an object. Having a photo or that physical object on hand can offer up details that I otherwise would have forgotten or simply not noticed. That's why ref is useful. Not because I'm assuming people are all aphantasiatics that can't imagine what something looks like, or can't remember things after 30 seconds.
Besides, since it was a Still-life drawing class, I think the exercise was mostly about actually looking at something and drawing what's right there in front of you instead of looking at something and drawing your brain's interpretation of it.

I got myself the "human anatomy atlas" as another reference.
With the anatomy atlas you can quickly get the name of each muscle, then you put it into Yandex to get references and insertion points and Youtube to get their motion.

Don't rely on the 3D models to be accurate, all of them have some flaws somewhere.

How I got neat topology is poly modeling using a subdiv.
I didn't use any special trick, keep the polycount low and your edgeflow in mind.

Doing a bunch of poly modeling with subdiv is how you learn topology tbf.

There's this really low quality animated 3D clip which gets posted on some boards from time to time. Think of the amerimutt meme and transfer that to 3D. It's just a short clip of the amerimutt character sitting at the desk, scrolling through 4chan and seeing something that "activates his neurons" to spam the only button on the keyboard labeled "built for BBC" or some shit. Somehow your style reminds me of that.

Doesn't look like a "girl". Nose is too pointy. Eye slanting is the wrong angle, giving the eyes a different shape. Grin/Mouth is too wide, lips are too small - at least the lower one. The chin is a bit too massive for a female. Shrink it down a bit in height and width. Try to keep as much of the scene in the previews as possible, even if it's just temporary. The missing teeth rows make it look even more alien and harder to compare, especially with the thin lips.
I'm obviously assuming you want to recreate that face as close to the original as possible.

Anyone here interested in mentoring a newbie for a bit? Just someone I can pester with questions and ask for guidance, I know its probably a lot to ask but maybe theres a chance? Blogpost sidenote I think I wanted to do 3d for as long as I can remember but for whatever reason the fear of sucking at it stopped me for years, and now that im over that fear im almost euphoric to do it, even if the end result fucking sucks, the process is so soothing and meditative, all of my anxiety is gone, all negative thoughts purged.

if you can match a reference, you can freestyle with confidence and make whatever you want in 3d

if you can't match a reference, it means your eyes need more training, you're not fully in control of your work tools, the art process, and there's too much randomness in everything you do. It means you don't have a bar of quality you're aiming for, which is dangerous.

If you want a 2-in-1 combo for getting a grip on basic shapes and subtle details, I recommend sculpting human faces from reference.

I recognize the wild topology on the feet. I used to do something quite similar when I box modeled something. You'll have to redo the feet sooner or later. It never ended well when any kind of animation was involved and it also didn't look right from any angle. Try to implement an ankle (sideways cylinder for now) into your topo asap, so you can use that as a hinge and to connect the quite complex flow of the shape feet have.
Why is the torso this detailed btw? Your arms are jelly of the verts there. What's your reference image?

It's a tool anon, not a fucking drug. It's not really making your work any easier, just shifting it elsewhere. Assuming you had 8 hours to work on a project, you can spend most of that 8 hours on the important shit, instead of like 1 or 2 because you had to spend like 6 hours modelling all the bits and pieces that don't "really" matter in the scene except for fleshing it out. You're still working 8 hours, the only difference is where you focused that time.

You really, really, REALLY shouldn't depend on AI since it's a proprietary tool that can be taken away from you at a moment's notice, literally a crutch kicked from down under you. Artistic skill on the other hand can never be taken away from you for as long as you keep it honed

I agree that Discord tends to be more higher quality. Threads like /agdg/ are active enough. I think /3/ is dead because 3d modelling only is just too a specific of a niche that I think is too small for an entire board but big enough that it can't be contained in a general. However I believe places like 4chan in particular still serves a very useful purpose when it comes to feedback. At least, it's a far preferable audience to say, Reddit. I also believe 4chan has a far higher concentration of actually skilled users compared to a lot of places due to it being a natural gate-keep and autism being linked to actual skill.

Sure, you probably won't meet too many huge "pros" but I think those truly big pros would be spending too much time on either Discord or forums anyway. But from what I've seen, it's sufficient enough.

>I really like the bug body here, I think the sections look really nice. Are you just folding a plane into the shape you want?
Thanks. Yeah. For certain parts like the exoskeleton which I can just add a solidify modifier if I wanted to thicken it.

>I don't need professional help anyway, just someone more skilled than me. So I'm trying to model genitals, should I model them from the open or closed position?
I don't have experience with this but I would assume genitals would have to be quite high detailed to look good. Which would mean the sculpting > retopology workflow rather than box modelling it. Though, you probably can. Are you using references? This sort of thing overlaps like with regular drawing in general.

So when sculpting, do I just need enough polys to hold detail?

Pretty much. I think your type of question can only really be solved by going at it. Looking at the wireframe of actual models and or speed sculpting videos would probably help. At least, I assume that you are lesser skilled than me so that's how I "feel" the form. I also just straight up draw certain sections in Clip Studio Paint if I don't understand how it works. Are you a beginner or something? If so, going through more fundamental stuff would help before you tackle something specific like genitals.

I do not believe zBrush does viewport transparency, unfortunately.

this place is so dead that sometimes I imagine the worst - some anon takes the work I posted here and impersonates me on discord to get those sweet sweet (You)'s elsewhere

it's not like I'd ever know either, I don't frequent those places

Okay, what do you think. I don't think it's very important to copy the shape of the reference 1 to 1, it's important that the face is appealing. Maybe eyes too big?
