What do you do when you know the right approach to your 3d task in ideal conditions, but presently you just don't have the time / budget to do it that way. What do you do.

okay, I think I cracked the code after 4 days of AI work.
Honestly, this is the most realistic and practical and economically viable method of using AI in a real production.
Anything else is just way cheaper using 3D or 2D.
Unless someone invent full AGI capable of working like a 3D render engine, this is honestly, the most realistic practical way to do it, that actually saves time.

Blender beginner here.
What programs should I use? Blender is great for me since it's free, but I want to get into VFX, but Blender is ASS for it. I've seen some amazing architecture in 3DS-Max and VRay, but I'm living check to check.
Mainly I've been looking into VRay, 3DS-Max, and houdini (vfx). What do you all recommend for pirate/education license use.
🧵 Blender to Unreal 5 Room Collisions
OP at Sun, 21 Aug 2022 19:39:17 UTC No. 914927
So basically,
What I'm trying to do is take this room model that I made in Blender and port it to Unreal Engine with collisions so my character can enter in and out. My past issue was, Unreal would set collisions like a box for models I imported, but now I've learned how to make custom collisions for objects. (I don't use the complex collisions option to prevent performance loss.) I'm currently trying to figure out how I can make collisions for this room model without having to dissect it one by one or recreate it. I've tried to copy/paste it with UCX next to the collision model but that didn't seem to do anything. Any techniques out there?

How do I get an entry level job if I can more or less sculpt/model/texture/retopo/rig/gro
I also have extensive knowledge of anatomy, which means I can more or less model every bone/muscle from memory (of course, having reference helps a lot) and I've done some medical models for private medical companies.
I mostly focus on organic characters based on concepts (2D->3D), but I can easily do hard surface stuff etc.
Pic related is a render from the sketchfab engine (was too lazy to do "proper" renders for this question)
If I'm not good enough, what should I focus on? How do I get a "good" portfolio?
I have also never worked in a studio and only worked as a storyboard artist before focusing completely on 3D

🧵 A thread about foliage
Anonymous at Sun, 21 Aug 2022 11:34:48 UTC No. 914878
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:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuB
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.
