This right here kiddos is what happens when you don't study proportions, even if a certain schizo who uses modo tells you they are unnecessary. I guess it is also what happens when you don't learn anatomy but that is besides the point. Don't be the guy who posts his work, gets told by literally everyone he fucked up his silly looking model then gives people the "NOOOOO… um… I ACTUALLY DID THAT ON PURPOSE!1!!!1!!" then runs away to another general on another board to try to get validation like a faggot (and fails, of course).

Let's talk about gore in vidya. How do developers make it work? Now I'm sure there are several methods to create a gore system but what is one that an anon could, theoretically, implement in their own project in say Unreal or Unity?

With segmented characters, that is easy: make the hit limb disappear, at its location spawn some guts meshes and blood particle effects, and voila.

With NON segmented characters however it gets tricky: how do you make JUST the interested limb be cut off? I've been thinking about this and my guess is they do that through Shape Keys: when the interested limb has to be dismembered, what happens is that a Shape Key is applied making all the limb's vertices collapse into a single point and moved inside of the part of the limb that is still intact, maybe there's even a hidden plane with flesh textures that's positioned at the dismemberment point behind which the collapsed vertices "retreat" to. I realize this might be a bit difficult to convey/grasp so I'll post images below showing what I mean.

Blender to become basically a fucking IDE or game engine like godot or unity.

Honestly if some autist use this and like make something like zbrush or some other 3D app, or something, anything interesting.

I will buy it.
This is honestly like, a big fucking deal.

Trying to get into character texturing, I checked out the classic 3 tone skin painting technique for that, but the placement of said bands is inconsistent, for example I saw some artists paint the back of the skull yellow while others painted it red.
Can artists who have experience with this shed some light on the matter please? Or provide conclusive references. Pic rel is a quick study I made, but I have the feeling it's inaccurate.

I'll provide more images of the study and the references I used below.

🧵 mage.space is the best img2img ai art generator

Anonymous at Mon, 7 Nov 2022 14:32:19 UTC No. 924971

mage.space is the best img2img ai art generator right now in my opinion.

and it works particularly well for 3d models.

I only learned very basic blender modeling. and i don't even render in blender anymore, i just do it all in sketchfab. from there i can get a screenshot and upload that to mage.space and go to town with the text prompts and influence slider. after a few minutes i can have probably 5 to 10 images i like which are all just slight variations of each other, but theyre all more realistic and more detailed than my original model. so for today all i did was make a gif of those images, but what im going to do this afternoon is put these images into photoshop, put each in its own layer, and then just copy and paste all the parts i like from each layer to the top layer, and blend the edges.

soon there will be readily available AIs which can make 3d models from 2d images, so when that's ready, I'll just upload the composite image and get a full 3d model outputted. that is much better than my original model.

Why is it that girls say
"you live in your mother's basement"

When you
1) are the benificiary of the trust that the property is in.
2) your father died years ago and traditionally the eldest son inherits the estate.
3) you are being told this by a person who often sits in a room you renovated, surrounded by the shelves you built housing your library.

4) sleep in any room you want: 2/3rds of which didn't exist as a finished space before you did the work.
5) Finished about 1/3rd to 5/8ths of the living space now existant in the house.

6) Have 2 marble floors when they have none.
7) Are a lawyer.
8) And a programmer (hobby)

I would never help a woman.
And once girls hit puberty they take on the attitude of women.

Glad the vaxx is killing alot of them.

Did whites forget inheritance exists?
Or do they just not use trust instruments and get cleaned out by the hospitals and doctors?
