In the early days starting over and completing small projects can be wise to get repetition in to grow familiar with techniques
but once you start becoming proficient in 3D you can iterate on models in a way you really don't do on a 2D piece.

My character models I use today for example is a 'Ship of Theseus' that traces their origins back well over a decade but with every instance
I set out to improve some part of them that I feel have issues and can be improved. Because geometry/topology is so reusable you will reshape and
recycle portions of earlier projects and spend all your available time perfecting the weakest aspect of what was already there.

That's something I immediately noticed, my first instinct when modeling the hands for a second character model was to just copy and paste the ones from my first one and just adjust them applying what I know now

I'm doing game dev with pre-rendered cutscenes, and it's been going okay, but I'm really struggling to render things with my budget APU and I've always had stuttering just using the interface honestly.

>16x2 RAM
>AM4 socket
>solid power supply

What's a decent budget card and CPU to shoot for purely for doing 3DCG right now (the APU can't support a GPU)? Looking for best cost efficiency, I can save some of my autism euro if I need to, but I've never even owned a GPU before so I don't really know what I'm doing here.

I'm still fairly new, but it didn't really get in the way of my workflow. The basics haven't changed that much.

Addons would be the thing most likely to stand in your way, so if you have eleventy billion addons, you might want to wait. If you don't use many, check to make sure they still work (i don't think this broke much)

Other than that, it's mostly just going to be a few instances of "where the fuck did they move that thing to?"

But unless you need some of the new hotness, you can just wait if you're anxious.

I'm making a series of 3D maps, this one in particular is about location, number and type of car-related accidents in an area.

I want to make a map where the higher the cylinder; the higher the amount of accidents represented. Due to me being in a peepeepoopoo third world shithole I cannot just download the map in a format that allows me to do GIS wizardry to locate and edit my volumes, instead I am only given an image. I've used this image as reference to trace where accidents happen and made a map manually by just copy-pasting cylinders and filling in their height one-by-one. I now need to do the same three more times for each type of accident

I know this is stupid and slow and want to know how can I input data. I've seen methods where you use an UV map to control the location and characteristics of a mesh or group of meshes, but the maps I'm given are low quality and have too manny details to be useful without a lot of editing. Since I already located where every single mesh will be I would like to embed each one with metadata and maybe toggle which biy of data is expressed thought height

I only learn new features as I need them, so just knowing what i should look up is enough

I'm trying to figure out how to do wiggle bones without relying on gimmicks like addons. So far I've figured out that three (well, four) types of behaviour are necessary for what I want to do:
- The wiggle itself: this can be done with damped track constraints on the previous bone on the chain
- FK controls: this can be done by duplicating each bone with the damped track constraint in the chain and giving them a copy rotation constraint targeted on each deformation bone
- Collision: this can be achieved with physics simulation but that sort of defeats the purpose of using damped track constraints and FK. I still haven't figured out how achieve this
- (optional) IK controls: I think it would be neat to control the appendages that need wiggle with IK but I'd like to figure out the first three points first+

How could I get a setup that achieves the first three points?

I don't know much about animation, but is that not what "actions" are for? If I remember correctly, you can sort of contain animations in blocks. Think of them as the animation equivalent of an object. Everything contained within an action works independently, and you can move the actions around and tell them how and when to get triggered.
https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/animation/actions.html

I don't know much more than that. So you'll have to search up actions or NLA(Nonlinear animation) to learn more.

Where/How can i learn shaders in blender?

I am looking for an extensive resource.
From what i have gathered, shaders heavily rely on applying math.
I DO have mathematical knowledge, i know what's a sine/cosine/tangent/cotangent and how these trigonometric functions are graphed.
Same with arcsine, arccosine, arctangent and arccotangent, i know what they are and how these trigonometric functions are graphed.
I guess my problem is that i have no practical knowledge of how to use them.
If you asked me to use an arctangent in a shading workflow i would draw a blank, because i don't know a practical application for it, just what it is an it's function graph.
Math classes focus mostly on theory and solving equations while blender is all about practical application.

If any blender shading expert could help, it would be most appreciated.

I can't help you with inverse functions. But I can tell you this: shaders are all about making the pixels on screen change colors via math. There are a million different ways to achieve this. But it pretty much boils down to defining how close points are. It's all distances, distances, distances.
I'm still pretty much an amateur, but I'm starting to get the hang of things. And what I do, is I visualize points in a 3D space. It's kind of hard, because I don't have the best ability to visualize. But I manage. It also helps to sketch out points on paper.

Do you have any models? You can use geometry to help you see vectors in 3D space. I'm not sure how much I should explain, because I don't know what you know.

Only thing I can think of is just comissions, maybe advertise on dnd subreddits? Making ocs and such, I doubt people would care about lowpoly smut/nswf so probably not that. Or solo/indie gamedev but that's obviously a whole different thing, lowpoly ps1 nostalgiabait is a trendy one if you can master it

Trying to make a hair braid mesh (downloaded from sketchfab) behaving like cloth in UE5.4, but when I do cloth paint the hair mesh falls apart because even though it's one object, it's also made of 700 smaller pieces not connected to each other, so cloth simulation is applied to every single mesh piece individually. I tried to reconnect them in Blender using Bool tool union, but half of those pieces vanished, and I just wasted a whole day trying to get hundreds of pieces joined in a single mesh/object.
Is there a simple way to resolve this? Do I need to do some sort of a remesh (never done it before)?

What is this? Why does it do this?
I'm using the quickrename bar to rename a selection. Normally it should rename everything and add a number in order of my selection. I use "select hierarchy" extensively to rename joint chains.
It not only doesnt rename every object on the first try but it never gets the order right. If I try to select things in a new order to compensate it does something different.
It was not doing it in my previous version of maya 2018, but it is not ever since i switched to 2025.

The answer is: No. There is no special advantage or disadvantage to be had keeping files together or apart. An SSD is going to load and save data much faster than an HDD. The only advantage would be having both the program and your files on SSDs, but it wouldnt matter if it was the same one or not.

instead of a cloth sim, bind the braid to a joint chain and run a dynamic simulation on that.

Which 3d modeling program is the most intuitive? I don't particularly care about flexibility. I want to make one specific thing repeatedly: n64-styled low poly models that use textures sparingly and have a lot of flat colors faces.

I tried Blender. It was bad but tolerable for a while but when I got to UV unwrapping and texturing, I clicked on the fill tool, tried to fill one of the boxes on the unwrap, and instead of the fill tool filling in the clearly marked box it filled the entire unwrap. I googled around for a bit to see if there was an unintuitive way to make the fill tool fill a box on the unwrap texture instead of dyeing the entire model a single color and it looked like the answer was "no" which left me wondering what miniscule edge case that tool could even address.

Everything except modeling with primitives felt like pulling teeth and I needed tutorials for things that should have been as simple as "click on tool, use tool," so Blender is clearly not the program that I want for this. What is the correct program for people who aren't 3d modelers to rapidly produce low-quality 3d models?

I don't trust blender with anything at this point. I was trying to subdivide an edge exactly in half and it turns out it can't even do that! You can divide an edge but you have to eyeball where you're placing the new vertex. The slightest misplacement is going to look like shit when the whole model is 12 faces. Unbearably bad software for this.

modelling in maya is a bit simpler, but i don't know if it's more intuitive. if you want to be comfortable with the modelling tools in any program you just have to blindly do a few tutorials. there's no way around it.

I don't mind doing tutorials to learn things, but spending 2 hours googling what should be simple and basic tasks to come up with 0 answers only to find out the simple and basic task is locked behind 4 buttons and a menu instead of a single button has convinced me Blender is not the right tool for this.

Btw I figured out why that happened: this is a model after applying mirror modifier, turns out it leaves a lot of internal geometry between two sides of the body. That in turn broke UV islands because they propagated through internal geometry. When I pressed L while hovering a face face it selected half of the body. After deleting all internal geometry it works as expected.

I used MagicUV to have shared UVs on shoes, but now I have some kind of weird bleeding in the wrong direction. Any idea why the bleeding on the left happens like that? It's supposed to be the same UV as on the right. I used copy-paste UV from MagicUV. Any idea how to fix this? I mean bleeding should happen near grey area and not on the opposite side of face that doesn't even have neighboring grey pixels.

Update. Using Transfer UV like that is wrong and breaks mesh, it's not supposed to be used within the same mesh, it's for transferring UVs between meshes. Nevertheless I found solution by just randomly messing around because it's impossible to google it. The solution is doing flip+rotate in regular Copy UV.

I'm not sure what I'm doing.
How many materials I should have in Blender for one (1) character model before I export it to substance painter? This is for a game asset.

I have one material called "body" that all goes onto one UV layout and covers textures for the entire area below the character's neck, clothes and all. I have another for the hair because I made it extremely fluffy. I have one final material for the whole head. So that's 3 materials, 3 UV layouts, 3 texture sets in substance painter..?
I'm just worried because I've been told too many materials is very bad for a game model in Unity

Re-topology will obviously be useful, but im trying to avoid sculpting and tweaking for a while until I feel confident enough with the basics, but that could just be my naiveté talking.
I started about a week ago with blender, went through a few tutorials to get a feel for the program, but all of them focus on architecture. While that's useful, I want to focus on honing my skill on making rigged characters. I can draw well enough, but being able to work in 3D would be a godsend

Hello, I've been sorta looking at various 3D printing miniature STLs closer in Blender - which I've been trying to casually learn more - and I noticed how most STLs don't give that many fucks about topology optimization, is that right? What incentives that?

Anonymous at Wed, 11 Dec 2024 11:36:48 UTC No. 1003255

>>1003254
3D printing softwares (slicers) don't give two fucks about topology the only thing they care is that the model is manifold (closed mesh, no holes or intersecting meshes)
Additionally you want to decimate the model as much as possible while maintaining details so it's lighter on the software, things get laggy with more than 1m polygon per object, that's probably what you're seeing

>What's the most efficient way to start a basic character model
use a base mesh

alternatively, if you're sculpting and going to retopo anyway, just put some primitives down.
just overlap them and don't give a shit about topo.
immediately go to sculpt mode and remesh and just start.
zbrush has something called zspheres people will start with sometimes. but yeah, just drop primitves and remesh, just think of it like adding big blocks of clay.

Am I regarded?
I am trying to make a thing of a certain radius, up to two decimals, but blender then makes a mesh that's twice the size and still rounds down the remaining decimal

Personally, select the default cube, go into edit mode, make it flush with the ground plane. Then scale the cube's height to match the height of the character I'm going for. Then scale the cube again, excluding the Z axis this time, so the cub can be made thin.

Now that I have a thin rectangular box the approximate height of the character, I add 7 horizontal edge loops to the box. This will cut it into 8 sections. The idea being that the character is going to be about 8 heads tall. This is something that can vary, depending on what you're making. If you're doing a cartoon character, they might only be 4 heads tall, so make only 3 loop cuts.

From there, I make an extra loop cut isolating the neck region, and delete the loop. Because it's just easy to ignore the neck, while working on the head and body separately. Later, when you have bother mostly figured out, you can bridge the two parts easily,

Delete one side of the mesh, and add a mirror modifier. enabling clipping.

Make another loop cut isolating the shoulders, and extrude out arms. 1 extrusion for bicep, 1 extrusion for for arm, 1 extrusion for hand. A person's arm span is typically the same as their height. Excepting those with shorter or longer arms. And excepting wonky cartoon proportions. But in T-pose, you can use the grid to get the proper arm span. And if you want to relax to an A-pose, then you can rotate the arms down from the shoulder region using the 3D cursor to assist you there

Now do a vertical loop cut near the center of the body. And delete a few of the lower planes, creating space between the legs. And then fill up the missing planes on the side of the leg and crotch.

Now, you should have a boxy looking figure. From here, you want to Make the important loops that define the shoulders, pelvis, butt, elbow, and knee regions. And then add as many loops along the limbs as necessary to shape the figure.

I'm not sure I understand the question. By looking at your image, the two boxes combine in an odd way. Not merely intersecting.(which is easy to do), but merging in a weird half and half. What exactly do you expect to happen when you join 2 meshes together? Joining them will merely cause them to intersect. Do you want them to mush together like some kind of pliable clay?

This is the average model for characters in this game and its polycount. Is it considered small, standard or large for the typical perspective of the game & the size of the characters? In the later case is it at all likely to be a performance concern or is it probably irrelevant?

I don't know if this will help you or not, but in my case if I'm suffering from a lack of motivation then the way I usually end up getting over it is by just forcing myself to do an hour or so of it, daily if possible. After a few sessions the passion for it begins to return. It doesn't have to be productive, you don't even need to save it, but it's important to establish a routine where from say 9-10pm every night you open your program of choice and do something in it. think forming a habit and then pushing off from there is the best way to get motivated for something like 3dcg that's a lot less directly titilating than posting on forums or playing vidya.

This is for a game in my own game engine.
The diagonal faces are shown here, I can't have any faces overlapping, and the reason I don't want diagonal faces on the UV mesh is because the texture is going to be reasonably pixelated and I don't want diamond pixels.

That's weird. I don't know what could be causing the whole scene to move.(Except for user error, selecting the scene and the model together)

However, from the looks of your screenshot, the armature and model aren't moving as one. That's probably the cause of the body stretching. The body is trying to move where the armature tells it to move. The armature and the model have to stay together, in order to avoid stretching.

Within the realm of AutoCAD's space,
An object’s grip lies in its base.
To shift its heart, from circle's core,
Follow these steps, and learn the lore.

To shift the base of your design,
Type BASE and hit the line.
Click the spot where it should dwell,
And thus, its anchor moves as well.

If part of a block, here's what you do:
Invoke BEDIT to break through.
Adjust the base within the editor's sight,
And save your block—set it right.

For single shapes without block ties,
Make a custom block to revise.
Type BLOCK, choose your base anew,
And place it wherever feels true.

So let your cursor guide the way,
To shift that grip to where you say.
AutoCAD listens, your will is done,
A new location, the task is won!

I would like import characters from videogames to gta san andreas and manhunt. First time using Autdesk 3D max 2012 so i already was able to convert a gta sa skin to manhunt so here my questions:

1. How hard is extract videogames characters(the mesh) and convert them to gta sa and manhunt? I had to install a pluging to my 3d max in order to edit gta sa dff files so i guess should be the same with whatever format file has any videogame that have a character i want extract to convert it to gta sa, right?

2. Is it harder extract characters from mobile videogames?

3. I have certain experience working with txd files on gta sa so im pretty new working with the dff files in 3d max(i already edited a gun for gta sa) , so i would like to know if i can make frankenstein characters like take the head of "X" character and put it on the body of "Y" character and then add the huge tits of "Z" character: is shrimple as that?

3. Any idea how unblock dff files?
When i try to open in 3d max certain gta sa dff characters i got this error message: "author locked this file please contact him"

4. As i said im a noob with all this 3D stuff so is there any web page that shares "pirate" 3d models? Asking because i found several models of Jenny officer from pokemon i would like convert to my games but said models are on sale only so i was wondering if theres something like "the pirate bay" but with 3d models.

Thanks in advance.

While in edit mode, press 1 to go into vertex selection. Select the vertices you want to smooth. Then, right click and select "smooth vertices"

Alternatively, go into sculpt mode, select the smooth brush, set the strength to a reasonable level. Perhaps 20% or 30%. And then carefully brush over the area you want to smooth. F controls the brush size.

>First time using blender
Slow down and learn the basic controls.
G to move things around.(thing "grab")
S to scale things big and small.
R to rotate things around.

There are various "modes" that enable different actions. By default, Blender opens up into "Object" mode. In object mode, you won't be able to manipulate the bones like how you want. You need to go into "edit" mode. Which you can do by highlighting the bones and pressing Tab.

If the tutorial you're watching didn't tell you any of this, and you don't already know it, then the tutorial is too advanced for you. You need to watch something simpler. Like the donut tutorial for example.

Am I really the only person this ever happens to? I really wouldn't mind so much, but it starts doing it to every other program (including browsers) which makes even scrolling a complete fucking nightmare (causes jumping, not scrolling, scrolling the opposite way etc).
Nothing I've ever tried has fixed it. Closing Blender? No difference. Mouse drivers? No difference. Cleaning mouse? No difference. Different mouse? No difference. Restarting entire computer? No difference. I just have to wait, days at times, for it to unfuck itself.
There's no rhyme or reason to it because it doesn't happen every time. Sometimes it's the second blender starts. Sometimes it's if it's just been running for a bit (forgetting I had opened it). Sometimes it's while I've been using it a bit. As said, sometimes it doesn't happen at all even after hours of use.
Totally does my fucking head in.

It's not you the model is either missing bone hierarchy, is badly exported or contains non ut8-8 characters that may need custom parsing.
Tried with fbx, obj, stl and 3ds formats and all are fucked up.

Try another model.

i have tried another models from that web page and yeah those works great but I really want this one :(

this is the original model https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/sailor-scouts-rashiku-ikimasho-pose-8b3b52433bc7456199adc514fc0c0614 but the guy don't even have to sale so wtf. Any idea where I can find this model? I just want use those models to make an autistic skin for an autistic game :(

look i found these other models of the sailor scouts in HD https://3dexport.com/3dmodel-sailor-moon-usagi-tsukino-240619.htm

any idea where i can find them for free? rigmodels don't have these models

Hard until the industry gets a clear path of how AI will fuck each job. And then this check will happen again in 5 years. But if you like what you do, go for it and try to contact studios and friends that work or worked at studios.

So I extruded an edge and merged it with vertices below and when I apply subdivision surfaces I get this issue. I've attached like with/without pictures to better show everything.

I am sort of new to 3d, I'd like help on what i'm doing wrong

Looks to me like you have a fuck ton of internal faces, non-manifold geometry, potentially duplicate vertices and ngons.

This seems like a good place to ask this. Should I even try to get into 3D stuff if I have an AMD GPU? And even worse an old one.

No. But that's just because you think a decent gpu is necessary to get into 3d.

Won't it make doing stuff slower? If it's going to feel like ass to move stuff around, it kinda sours the experience. I am genuinely asking because I have no idea, I just know GPU is used to render stuff quicker and newer GPUs are better for Cycles.

If you are getting into 3d and already worrying about your hardware limitations you lack the mindset and willingness to do 3D. Dude trust me I've made cgi on toaster hardware and yes It has been a hassle but that defeatist attitude wont take you nowhere.

> I just know GPU is used to render stuff quicker and newer GPUs are better for Cycles.
What's the rush? Your gpu probably has more computing power than all of ILM when they did Jurassic Park.

If you put it that way, yea, I should probably just do it. I guess I'm just more worried AMD GPUs are barely supported at all but I'll give it a shot.
Thanks.

Unfathomably based. A lot of my favourite CG (late 2000's) were made on literal potatoes compared to today. Sure the software at the time were less bloated and they had render farms but still. The nitty and gritty was still done on personal machines.

Are there any 3D printers for printing surfaces of revolution?

>>1007433
>>>/diy/
If i understood your question right you are looking for a printer than doesnt print in an orderly z axis fashion but follows the surface along the 3 axes.
I know there are custom slicers for conventional printers that can move the z axis dynamically on extrusion. like this example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1i-1TEdByZY
Taking a surface and turning into gcode for layer thin prints doesnt seem too complicated. I 'd say any 3d printer with a decent z screw could work.

Is there anywhere where I can do or find modelling exercises?? Like something that actively trains you & gives you feedback based on what you make. Instead of just giving you a tutorial or telling you random items to model

I just wanna get better at every part of the process. Hopefully to the point where I can just go ham & make high quality shit (specifically character models) without having a reference pic loaded in. I want to get good

Is it static or deforming? 8+ poles are fine on static models; but 7+ poles are verboten on deforming ones.

it's much easier edit models, you can find a lot free models at rigmodels.com and at deviant art(look for xps models). your autism is the limit.
