I am struggling to get proper edges.
Have been re-doing a tutorial over and over, pausing the video every 3 seconds, copying every action, but my edges look sharp like /\ rather than smooth curves.
The tutorial looks like the red outline, i don't know how, mine looks very different.

Anonymous at Sat, 5 Oct 2024 01:07:54 UTC No. 997358

getting close i think. need to clean up a few things but kind of at the point where I'm not gonna make it any better unless I improve my 3d skills, and I'm not gonna improve my 3d skills unless I move on to the next project.

how should I approach compositing it? I haven't messed with the compositor at all. was gonna probably try to put on a light blur or something, idk.

>make her face more 3d, looks funny from an angle when it's just textures
>rig chichi's arms normally instead of fucking around with bendy bones because they were a pain in the ass to animate and look weird
>forgot blender has a built in camera rig addon, should have used it
>be better at lighting

idk about the compositing, tried to make it look like something you'd see on the crt in the early 2000s but idk. maybe went overboard with it.

use a reference that looks like how you want it to look in the end. On the way there the figure is going to look really weird because it's not a realistic body, potentially, you're trying to make.
If your reference has you making very long torsos, but you like the final product promised in the ref then go with it till the end to make sure it's wrong. Like a One piece character's going to look real fucked up for 80% of the modelling process.

I'm hearing vrchat avatar creators talk about Jinxxy, but apparently they also use Gumroad a lot
I think there's TurboSquid and CGTrader for animation and game characters? putting your model on multiple marketplaces sucks but it's good to spread out
I don't know if the Unity and Unreal marketplaces allow sexual contents

Gumroad only takes 10% if they find the model outside of Gumroad, but if they use the search engine (Gumroad Discover) then they take a 30% cut, and your model has to be eligible for Gumroad Discover

The first response only wanted feet. That's not being negative, that's asking for feet.
The second one was being completely honest. She's got that unkempt falling apart at the seams pathetic loser that you want to coddle and indulge in appeal.
The third response was from a fucking retard on who forgets they post on an anime website and should rope immediately.
To put it another way, the only real response was commenting on the character, not the model itself.

right now when i press with the pen and move it rotates the camera and when i hold it pans
since im coming from 3dsmax I want it to be the other way around - alt+drag > rotate, only drag > pan
any videos on configuring i find are about how to add shortcuts to brushes or make extra menus
is there a way to do it that natively without installing extra plugins?

genuine question why is it so much more common to see shapekeys for the face instead of bones? Even most bone-based face rigs I've seen on anime models are really just using bones to drive shapekeys. I feel like both methods would be extremely useful in their own ways so it's weird how one is seemingly more common than the other.

Splitting normals effectively splits the vertices, which adds some storage overhead and can complicate primitive assembly, adding real-time rendering overhead.
Consider that instead of having one vertex with one normal that exists in a number of triangles, different triangles now need the 'same' vertex with different normals.
It most likely won't make a huge difference but it's false to say that there is no overhead.

Torso is too long, boobs are too big and don't morph the way they should making them look like theyre directly attached to the collar bone instead of hanging off it (unless your plan is to add some sort of soft body physics and have it function like a taimanin character), abs are too flat and need more of a curvature, leg to pubis creases are way too prominent, upper back has no visible area or depth for shoulder blades but still has a back line, and the arms are fucky but I think I've said enough. I'd recommend putting it in an A pose to see how everything proportions in a relaxed state.

The abdomen should always have a slight curvature due to it being where the stomach and most of your vital organs are placed and the additional protective fat layer that is in front of it. The only instance where it would be straight, even if you had them extremely toned, would be in a fasting and low water weight period. That's what male body builders usually do alongside arching their back to give themselves a straighter more inward curved abdomen. You are basically missing the fat pad or the existence of a stomach.

The proportions are a bit weird. That wrist is too thin, for example. The abdomen is too elongated as well.
That elbow is weird, too. Remember that elbows can only rotate towards the upper arm on a single axis, the illusion of multiple angles of rotation is created by rotating the upper arm and the shoulder because that's how it works in real life. You can try it if you don't believe me, your elbow works like a pincer in the sense that it can only "open and close", it's your upper arm and shoulder rotating that gives it a higher range of motion

I don't have much to say about it, except to second what the other guy was saying about the wrists/forearm. But I would condense the idea to "wrists don't twists, forearms do". Meaning, if you need to twist the hand, what you're supposed to do, is twist the whole forearm. That's typically why the forearm is set up with two bones inside. Because twisting two bones preserves volume. Though nowadays, you might want to set up a single bendy bone. And set the bending bone to like 2-4 divisions. Twisting the bendy bone will have the same volume preserve effect. Just make the end at the elbow stiff. and make the end at the wrist moveable.

Also, the topology of the face is bothering me a bit. It looks stretched. You have a lot of faces in between the eyes, making each one very thin, but then the geometry at the top and bottom of the eye sockets are stretched wide. If you diverted some of the faces from between the eyes, to pass *through* the eye sockets, then you would have more even geometry for both. They sockets would be less stretched, and the bridge will be less squished.

The elbow and wrists have always been a pain in the ass for me, previously i would just have an extra bone with a copy rotation constraint and it sort of worked for it. getting the elbow to stick out probably just needs more geometry, and for the legs/hips i havent shown bending atleast they dont clip through the pants.
One of the goals ive had for this model is to make it compatible inside Maya so ive tried keeping everything about her to the minimum so far, so no bone constraints, controllers or shaders, just textures. I've heard the controllers and animating inside maya are a lot better so at this point, i want to atleast get her moving in the other program so i can figure out what i should do different and what i can fix next.

Boobs too big but looking good

>>1002538
First off, do not listen to anybody who tells you the boobs are too big, for they are clearly gay. However, the shape of the tits don't sag enough and look too balloonish as a result. The reference image may be misleading because she's leaning forward which causes the boobs to press against each other due to gravity. In a standing upright position, gravity would cause unsupported boobs to rest against the curvature of the body, which would make the boobs point away from each other starting from the base where the breasts connect to the torso. You wouldn't get a natural looking cleavage unless bending forward or wearing clothes that would keep them in place.

learn about corrective bones, will fix your elbow issue. I use them on almost every model I rig on elbows, knees, hips, and sometimes wrists and shoulders. they need constraints to work properly but since they're still deformation bones they should port over to maya and you can remake the constraints from there (but honestly I've never sent something from blender to maya, only vice versa so im probably wrong)

you need to study anatomy. your style looks good but there's some really fucked up things going on. like the place where her hipbones jut out is very wrong and the armpit wrinkles make no sense. the wrinkles and bends you see in that area are relative to the muscles in that region. there's other issues holding it back from being incredible, even though it does look great.

Great technique. Every form looks very good. Just concurring with the other anon. The protrusions of the pelvic bone are too far out to the sides and too low.
We all love this outrageous hourglass figure, and what you think in your mind is
>she has big hips, ergo I will make her pelvic bone very large.
But on real "big hipped women" they may have larger than average pelvic bones, but their "hips" are really from their thigh tissue and the tendons connecting their femur to their pelvis.
There's a lot of different ways to do this area that look good. I would suggest looking at instagram models with the bodytype you want and also at how other artists portray this pelvic area. Sometimes it's not about capturing the most realistic shape but the best fictional shape that hits that yummy spot in your brain.

There's an easy way out. Start with a premade asset close to what you want, and copy it. Unless you want to sell your 3D model, but even then, you can buy the rights to a spikey haired model and do the same copying legally.

That's what I did for the model I'm working on here: >>1002854

Using assets you bought and have the rights to isn't stealing. You can also use premade assets to learn how something works; it only becomes stealing if you take that asset (like from a game or something) and try to sell it.

As far as basemeshes go, its the industry standard to use them. Blender, Zbrush, and several other 3d softwares offer them too. It isn't stealing.

Might as well ask here.
I have a model imported using 3dmigoto/GIMI.
The body itself as 150 vertex groups, one for each muscle probably. I mean like 4 groups for each knee, 20 groups for each breast, 20 groups for the ass etc. And there tend to be separate groups for the front and the back of the characters.
But the rig is absolutely fucked. Is there any way to fix it and align the bones with v.groups? Or redoing the rig manually is the only option here?

but then reposition the bones depending on the angle, and may even have specific eye/mouth shapes for certain angles.

here I'm using a mask modifier to hide the other eye but there's definitely a better way to do that, probably just use a separate bone with a separate plane then use a master bone to control both eyes at once when needed.

Is this a good place to start:

I found a pirated version of this. The models like pic rel is so good bros. Would it be possible to create assets like this within a year of learning, and how feasible is creating characters with this level of detail as an indie dev? I'll probably buy environment assets, and make custom character assets.
Also, thoughts about Blender vs Substance Painter and ZBrush? Can I pirate them without issues?

zbrush and substance for anime chars is like shooting cans with a tank at a folk festival - sure, you hit, the effort is gigantic compared to just taking the air rifle - i.e. blender & krita. you are faster, much faster and don't have to do some of the work twice.

get a few models of current games like mugen/ww/zzz & co from aplaybox.com, study the textures and topology for a few days. take a look at one of the many character workflows on yt, collect dozens of reference pictures and do what everyone does - copy&paste what works.

after two months of hard work you will have models of zzz quality, if not, you won't make it in a year - you just don't have the talent.

Thought you guys could answer this since ur all artsy.

In Biteme games' indie art style tier listing video, they said that anime games are really marketable, but they are hard to make because there are many anime styles for 2D art, so you need to find someone who is good at it.

Is this true? Is the 3d part hard to make as well? You can just make the entire game 3d if adding 2d parts is expensive.

I'm also not familiar with successful indie anime games. Sure, you have Genshin and Zzz, but they are hardly indie. I feel like everyone's hyping up anime games because of those two Gacha games while ignoring the whole corpo vs indie manpower and funding advantage. Do weebs even have the money to splurge on vidya like that?

I'm not sure who Biteme is, but the reasoning you're giving doesn't really make sense to me. I don't think anime styles are harder than photorealistic stuff. The toolchains are less mature and there are fewer premade assets to work with, so maybe that's what he was getting at.

>is anime 3D hard
I'll say yes, but I feel that 70% because I don't have a background in 2D

> You can just make the entire game 3d if adding 2d parts is expensive.
2D is way cheaper than 3D.

>Do weebs even have the money to splurge on Vidya like that?
whales do exist, but 90% of the money is from the small $1 to $5 purchases. Everyone has that kinda cash

jewtubers teaching you game design despite having never released anything great.
Notable for picking a fight with /agdg/, going all "yeah well let's see if *your* games are better", setting up a video to test /agdg/ stuff on Itch, and having to admit that yes, /agdg/ does better stuff than their sometime.

Quick question, what 3d printer are you gonna use for that? I'm planning on getting one to start 3d printing but I can't decide on which I should go for.

Just an update to this, nothing major. I'm using clothes from Koikatsu, at least for now,
because I'm lazy and can always just pay someone on fiverr to make clothes for me when its time to sell an anime girl (if that ever happens).

Clothes aren't rigged yet so they still clip. But its great to have gone from "I can't make 3d anime" to nearly being finished a 3d anime girl within a month or actual work time.

should I dynamesh all the hair strands into a single hair blob? or just leave them separate? Will it make any difference in the future for printing?

>Will it make any difference in the future for printing?
if it's for printing then you should split the hair into two pieces, bangs and back, so you can paint it separately and assemble it later
if you don't know what I'm talking about look up garage kit painting videos on youtube, that will give you a better idea of how to split your figure
something you have to keep in mind when sculpting a figure is that you or someone will have to paint it so you want to split it to make it easier

I would also split the side hair thing in this scenario because it's too likely to break if you print it with the rest of the hair

>should I dynamesh all the hair strands into a single hair blob? or just leave them separate?
to actually answer your question, yes merge them, but keep the front and back separate

I can't believe you just recommended blender + krita to someone who wanted to make anime models like zzz. Are you Chris?

You can use blender or maya. Hoyoverse used may for both zzz and Genshin. As a solo indie, I'd go with blender. Since you wanted to pirate a colosso course, try this to get started with modelling: https://coloso.global/en/products/3dartist-parksangwoo-us

NTA but https://coloso.global/en/products/3dstudio-108fanstudio-us looks pretty great. You'd need to find a place to pirate it though.

Assuming one could pirate any premium course for anime 3d modeling in blender, which ones would you recommend to get if i want to use them for game development in the future?

Man I want these courses so bad y'all but their is just nowhere to get them, understandable in the former's place since it's not released yet but the ones for the later either don't work or you need to pay to access them.

Hey, I'm pretty sure this is the second one:

The folders are in japanese, so I can't quite tell, but in my JP Blender folder, a file called "Cover" had the second one's image.
