what is better for modeling?

Aloha! I just started a 1-year 3D course last week. I will be posting weekly updates on my progress.
This week we started with basic interface stuff in Maya. How to move around, how to rotate, layers, history, pivot point manipulation, focusing, adding base models, soft selections, difference between NURBS and polygons - all that basic stuff.
I decided to get a head start on the actual modelling part while applying the knowledge they taught us of how the interface functions. The course is pretty intensive, so I intend to learn as much as I can this year. I already had some experience with Maya, but I'm very rusty since it's been almost a decade since I last touched it.
Here are some models I made after fucking around with Maya after the lesson, yesterday. No reference images just yet.
🧵 Looking for a Megumi Kato card for Koikatsu
HikariLover2 at Sat, 19 Nov 2022 08:00:54 UTC No. 926512
Excuse me, maybe this is unexpected for most of you, but I have been looking everywere for HEN太's Megumi Kato card, since the distribution was suspended and it was the only decent-good looking model of her:
https://www.pixiv.net/artworks/9697
If someone is willing to help me, I would be very grateful, since is the only Koikatsu model whose desing style looks like her anime version from the Saekano/Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata anime TV series.
PS: And before you say it, yes; I asked in the Koikatsu general thread, but it wasn't very helpful. I just want the card that contains the model character data, so if some of you still have it, please tell me T_T

As a /3/d artist, what would be the easiest shippable game I could make as a solo dev? I can code/design, but my main strength is in visuals. Is there something I can make that's more fun than a walking sim?
I'm not a character artist so it can't be porn.

You heard me.
> Forgets the paths to your bakes/input maps each time you open a project. Every time.
> Forgets that you downloaded various surfaces and has to re-download them. If you're not part of Ebic Gaymes club, you are charged for this
> Can only rotate studio light around Z-axis
> Perpetually "beta"
> Apparently, if you use multiple texture sets, material ID masks no longer work properly (a mask applied to a folder will not affect the children inside of the folder)
> Duplicates project files upon upgrading
> Brush icons are so tiny you cannot feasibly use the selection interface
> "workarounds"
This software is made by stuttering, aspergic mongoloids
I've used this since it was a shitty photoshop plug-in and it hasn't gotten any better. Quixel has to be allocating the majority of their budget on laser-scanning rubber butt-plugs and 10 million different individual rocks and twigs.

Blender is a free and open-source 3D computer graphics software tool set used for creating animated films, visual effects, art, 3D-printed models, motion graphics, interactive 3D applications, virtual reality, and, formerly, video games. Blender's features include 3D modelling, UV mapping, texturing, digital drawing, raster graphics editing, rigging and skinning, fluid and smoke simulation, particle simulation, soft body simulation, sculpting, animation, match moving, rendering, motion graphics, video editing, and compositing.

🧵 What are the average speed rates to finish an animated game character from scratch
Anonymous at Fri, 18 Nov 2022 03:10:56 UTC No. 926391
It's being able to finish these characters in 3-4 days, complete with 6-7 animations, fast compared to other artists and style in the industry?
I mean these models at this style takes me 5-7 hours to make.

I am a brainlet fucking around with 3D. I want to make cool low poly dragon. Idk how to attach wing "fingers" to one point without clipping so it looks good. I am manually placing all the vertices. This seems easier with high poly since you can just kind of stretch the model wherever like putty. But how do I make this? Please give idea because I have no idea how to make this joint.

some cloth addon that allows collision or?
it's not particles by the way
sculpting is the advised way?

Is it correct that Nuke can't do HDR color correction like Resolve and yet its orders of magnitude more spensive? Is the comp graph just so much better than resolves built in fusion tab that its worth being spendy? I'm at a crossroad where I do zero comp and just completely rerender everything every time, not even using cryptomatte, potentially wasting a lot of time.
🧵 How to get into technical art profession before killing self
Anonymous at Thu, 17 Nov 2022 01:05:17 UTC No. 926229
3D admirer/pleb here with a few more semesters of adult day care/university left.
I haven't learned as much as I'd've liked to, been pretty depressed throughout it all so it's been hard. I'm pretty sure I want to get into the intersection of technical and creative worlds in some way, but lack faith in myself for many reasons, both rational and irrational.
As of now, I barely know how to make procedural models in Maya, PyMel/Python, and Houdini, but enjoy it when I start working. I've barely modeled anything, but plan to work more in Blender and maybe in Houdini for vfx in an upcoming class. I'm minoring in CS, but, like in my digital arts studies, I've been quite lame as a student, and could've practiced and absorbed much more.
How easy is it to get into the industry doing anything a little technical? Is it enjoyable?
Do you happen to know whether it's harder or easier than getting a technical/coding job in the non-creative/business tech world? How would it compare to web development in this regard?
What do you do to pay the bills? I'm getting into my mid-20s and really need to move out of my father's house before I blow my brains out, but with debt mounting and my spirits low, it's looking to be impossible at this rate.

I'm starting my journey into 3D modeling and I thought to start with something I thought easy.
I've been trying to port some MMD and .blend models into VRCHAT however, from time to time the textures get fucked or not even load in blender.
I seem to be making a lot of rookie mistakes, should I read ALL of the guide or is there something I'm missing?
I'm getting the models from smutbase and mmdbooru.

I wanna animate stuff and was thinking of using either blender and mmd. How much would using mmd hold me back? I know it's a bit jank, but I find it charming. How difficult is blender in comparison. I'd basically be a beginner as I've only messed around with mmd for a few hours.
