🧵 A thread about foliage

A comment section about foliage.
Anyway, I wanted to talk a bit about foliage and ask what do you think, when will we see plants being created in a way that doesn't involve baking an entire branch to the plane? Even the best game-ready plant examples I've seen look pretty shitty compared to VFX, not to mention real life. I guess we all collectively reduced our standards and can appreciate shitty realtime foliage, but when you take a step back, you realize it's still an ugly mess full of planes, no matter how well you try to hide it.
What do you think about Megascans approach to foliage? It's still using planes, but e.g. a plant with flowers wouldn't be built as a single plane, but each leaf and stem would be their own separate planes. It's much less tris than actual geo like in VFX, but more than your usual planar flat looking plant in games. But it also looks so much better and 3D. Do you think this will be a good approach in close future? I've seen a step towards this in Shadow of War, more details here:

I'm working on some plants as well and that's killing me now, because I can't decide which way to take. I want to maximize visual quality because they're not for a game but for a portfolio, but at the same time I want to showcase I'm not incapable of optimizing and creating a usable game-ready foliage. Now I'm thinking about using the Megascans workflow for a balance between the two.
So what do you think, is the Megascans LOD0 plant quality going to happen in near future or are we still going to see flat ass looking flowers and trees for years to come? Feel free to post examples, tutorials and other content about vegetation.

Can you learn animation if you're a poorfag unwilling to pay thousands of dollars for iAnimate and Animation schools?
If so, where do I get/download the material to learn?
Why is animation never talked in here?

Finally, a good free engine. Anyone using it?
FWIW, unrealshit isnt free, since in the license you have to pay up past a certain amount. Real free engines would never have those stipulations.

Why do figures of anime characters tend to look great on the shelf, but look horrible in game engines in a realistic setting without cell-shading applied?

I wanted to enter this gig and make some quick buck out of it but I'm out of date with the tools. Does everyone use VRoid Blender nowadays? Or are there any noticeable limitation in VRroid compared to Unity3D when we are talking about the scope of anime avatars?

🧵 Boxcutter/hardops free alternatives for paneling in blender?

/tg/ refugee here.
I have been fucking around in blender for last few days in order to make some 3d printable models, and it turns out that making consistent 3d panel lines in vanilla is pain in the butt. Especially if you want to keep the same width and depth across the model.
Now it seems that in hardops/boxcutter the whole thing is automated, but i am not exacly eager to pay 40 bucks for a single option i need.
So, are there any free tools addons that would make modeling these damn panel lines easier?

How do I get good at sculpting Bros? I just want to make models of sexy stylized women. I can't sculpt worth a shit with a drawing tablet but I can sculpt fairly decently in VR with Sculptr VR and Oculus Medium.
