Is there any free modern modelling software that funcions like 3D Studio R4? I know VERY little about 3D modelling software available and commonly used, but I have a small amount of experience using 3D Studio R4, and I like the tools it has to offer (a 3D editor, a 2D shaper, a 3D lofter where you can extend shapes you make in the shaper across a path and alter its properties across the path, material/texture editor, an animation system where you create keyframes and the software interpolates the inbetweens), and I like the way the models render as the output.

I'd be happy to continue using 3D Studio R4, but it has a lot of awkward "product of its time" missing features that make using it kind of annoying and awkward, like the lack of an undo command that goes past more than 1 step. What modern alternatives are out there that would have the same sort of features I'm looking for?

Does anyone here do freelance 3d work/sell 3d assets online? Considering doing this for a living. I used to do 3D work in the medical field for prosthetics. How difficult is it to start out on your own?

🧵 Texture unwrapping on Linux

Anonymous at Mon, 11 Apr 2022 13:18:44 UTC No. 891393

Is there a Linux tool for unwrapping textures, e.g. I made car.obj without textures and now I want to add textures but uv is all messed up so I use this tool and it will make texture for entire car in single PNG, nicely unwrapped so that I can paint the texture in gimp however I want. So far I was doing uv manually and it is pain. And don't tell me blender because I rage quited blender from my computer.

I can do a texture on XY plane no problem. But when I try to put a texture on a vertical plane it looks all weird. What am I doing wrong? Am I retarded?

Are there any good tutorials on doing stuff like this in blender:

I’m a traditional animator, but lately blender has really caught my interest. It seems they added a ton of features I’ve wanted in older animation softwares for years, but still don’t know how viable it is just yet.

🧵 How to adjust mesh size with nodes in Bllender?

Anonymous at Sun, 10 Apr 2022 11:01:52 UTC No. 891067

So I spent a few years trying to create realistic skin. You can fake it by using photo derived textures, low lighting, post-processing etc etc. The SSS shaders in Blender are not able to create skin as they take the complete mesh in to account. This makes your show skin texture either meaningless or even an issue.

Skin absorbs light as it is a simply a slightly transparent rubbery layer. This is why some instinctively believe they can create better skin using higher roughness or lower specular levels.

I want to experiment with using the skin as a 1 maybe 2 mm layered mesh outside my character's main mesh.

So my question is, what node setup do I use to increase the scale of my main character a little? After I could simply combine the shaders in nodes with my main character controlling transparency and everything like that.

did the creator of this pc
https://www.artstation.com/artwork/NGo9Z5
need to make a high-res model that was baked in lowpoly.
Or can you just make the lowpoly model and make all the details in substance painter
would seem to remove a lot of hassle for me
