Anyone working on a project and need a modeler. I'm sick of doing freelance and shit. Just want something with a bigger scope. Not looking for pay ofc.

🧵 Is the Donut tutorial the biggest 3D modeling meme?

Anonymous at Mon, 11 Jul 2022 02:43:30 UTC No. 907693

As a Blender user I feel like I learned more about fundementals by watching other software tutorials than any Blender Donut tutorial that seems to focus more on rendering.

>good enough for hobbyists who have no plans to do 3dcg professionally
>not good enough for people who plan to do 3dcg professionally
I mean, outside of small studios that are relatively new (founded in the last 5 years or so), it'll be difficult to find work while only knowing Blender.
>"b-but studios have trainers to teach new hires how to use their software!"
This is true, though this only applies to studios large enough to hire trainers. At a point where a studio is large enough to have trainers, I'm sure they get a shit ton of job applications every day. An applicant who only knows Blender would need a kickass portfolio in order to be competitive with those who learned on Autodesk software, for example. It still rings in hiring managers' minds that Blender is nothing more than a hobby-grade program, whether you like that or not.
>"ok so if I git gud at blender, I might have a shot in the big leagues?"
It's possible to start a career with Blender and slowly making your way to senior positions, even at well-known studios. If you begin working for a studio that uses Blender and learn Maya or whatever in your free time, you can rapidly decrease the time needed to work in a higher position that pays well. If your mentality is "go blender or go home", you will be stuck in small studios-- it's no wonder so many new studios have opened up. Their founders struggled to move up in their careers, so they all said "fuck it" and opened their own businesses.
>"so i can learn blender and work at a small studio and be happy right? that means i made it as a professional!"
Whoa now, easy there. Sure you'll have your fancy-pants professional job that nearly all of /3/ wants, but bear in mind that small studios are highly unstable. A "Blender-sized" studio could go under if a project is unsuccessful, and that means you're out of a job. The bigger the studio is, the more stable their positions are. Unfortunately that also means the applicant pool is more competitive.

How are textures like this made? Is it mostly just flat colors with gradients and baked lighting/AO to add more detail, along with some handpainted features like the bandages?

Why do Blendlets unironically give bad advice? I've been modeling since High School(autodesk fag) and finally transitioned to Blender to realize the entire community is filled with absolute nonces who don't even know what a lattice is

how did he do that 'edited by' in the very start of the video?
motion tracking is easy i get that, glow effect aswell, but how does he change the whole atmosphere of the court? thats not color effect, something way more advanced, can someone redirect me to a tutorial or articulate how that was done?

🧵 How to optimally merge multiple meshes into one?

Anonymous at Sun, 10 Jul 2022 06:12:21 UTC No. 907491

I've been trying to figure this out on and off for months now so hopefully I'm not a complete retard asking a question with an obvious answer since google has been mostly useless so far; I'm trying to figure out how to convert multiple meshes into one in blender, so there's nothing clipping through or inside anything else. Pic related is not actually what I'm working on but I'm gonna use it as an example since it decently illustrates the same problems I have to solve; right now this is 12 cylinders (8 barrels plus 4 'rings') and I need it to just be one mesh, instead of 12 that clip through each other a bunch. My rough knowledge of this and other digital software would lead me to believe you would solve this problem in one of two ways, but I can't manage to figure out how to do either.

1) You would run a process to add a line to each face at each place of intersection on each cylinder, then delete the newly-separated inside parts, then merge all the cylinder meshes and merge the vertices by distance, to end up with one single mesh. I would just do this without making this post, except I have no idea what that first process is called or if it even exists.

2) I can kind of only describe this in photoshop terms, which is a bad start, but essentially you'd select the inverse (everywhere but the space occupied by this) and then invert that selection, so what you'd end up with is just the exterior surface of your collection of objects, which you could then fill and have one mesh. This is probably just not how blender works, though, based on what I've been able to find so far.

The closest thing I could find at all was a Boolean modifier, but as far as I can tell that only puts 'cuts' into one mesh at a time and wants them to all be closed shapes, which does absolutely nothing for me because I have roughly several hundred separate meshes I need to make into one mesh and pretty much none of them are manifold.

Ok, gpus prices chilled, but they are at the same levels as before the pump now.
I don't trust used gpus since they probably were over-used in a mining rig.

🧵 Need to figure out a program pipeline to learn and use

Anonymous at Sat, 9 Jul 2022 17:29:51 UTC No. 907414

I know a bit of C4D and a bit of Blender, and some After Effects.

I haven't touch either of them in years, so I'm starting fresh here. I want to get the easiest/best software sollution going for making 3D VFX / Animation / Particles / Mograph.

I thought of pirating C4D again but available X Particles is for R14 online still, and I hear how the render is SLOW and the program is outdated and clunky now.
And Blender now has "geometry nodes" which can basically do what C4D Mograph does, and it has a particle engine by the creators of x-particles.

So I'm thinking of diving into Blender as my main general purpose software.
then adding these on to learn to supplement it:

Blender (Modeling)
Substance Painter (texturing)
Zbrush (sculping)

How is the UV unwrapping in blender? Does it suck? Should I tr RIZOMUV or Unwrap3d instead?
Unwrap3d / RizomUV (UV Unwrapping)
I don't see any alternatives to animation so I guess I'll go
Blender (Animation)
Blender (Motion Graphics)
Blender (Particles VFX)

I also need to decide on a software to put everything together in. I'm not sure I want to use blender's Evee or Cycles for this, so I was thinking either
NUKE / After Effects (to composite everything together and color correct, add addition fx)
or
UE5 (For putting together all the 3D Stuff, and additional Particle FX, and their amazing realtime render engine)

I'd of added Houdini for FX but fuck too complicated

What do you guys think? I need a pipeline to learn here
Zbrush / Blender / Substance / Unwrap3D / UE5 / NUKE / AE
seems like a good amount to learn, anything unncessary here or better out there?

I wouldn't consider Maya as it seems too convoluted to learn. 3DS MAX seems cool but autodesk will probably trash it like they did softimage XSI soon also the available pirateable plugins are outdated and again blender cycles is a lot faster to preview things.

What do you guys use?

Lets wax nostalgic about the good old 3d Delight days from 9-10 years ago. Everything you needed in a render, it had, except for a node editor. I had to do a lot of programming in the text editor to produce these images, but they still hold up.
