Is learning blender really necessary? I have 3dcoat and i like it, hard surface modelling doesnt really interest me as i like sculpting. But i also want to be able to render out some cool stuff.
What will i miss out on by not learning blender?

Any of you fags use it or do stuff in it. I rarely see it been talked about, I had a problem and decided to make a thread.
Feel free to share any resources btw. I just started working with it and got the basics down (making patterns, sewing, arrangement points, internal lines, darts and all this shit).
But through my several tests, I realised I can NEVER make anything look good, it's fucking crazy.
Last example is pic related. I'm trying to make a Gakuran (the male student uniform from japan) and just look at how ugly it is. Any tips?

🧵 3D DALLE called Point-E
Anonymous at Tue, 20 Dec 2022 17:35:33 UTC No. 930374
It isn’t as good as Google’s DreamFusion, but blazing fast! Like ~600x faster to generate . 2D DALLE has already turned the creative world upside down. How will 3D DALLE disrupt games, VR, metaverse, …?
Bonus: it’s fully open-source! Both the code and all model weights (for 40M, 300M, 1B parameters) are available at https://github.com/openai/point-e
Arxiv paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.08751
2023 will be a year of powerful 3D generative models, and 2D will simply be their planar projection.
It's truly over

Please be honest with yourself, you just want to make coom right? We don't want anymore young artists ruining their career goals. The majority of art in the western industry is boring, uninteresting, pays horrid, public schooling is a scam and you don't get to decide what to make. If you really want to do it I cannot stop you but there is also nothing wrong with getting an AI-proof career while doing this on the side.

What are some good websites for commissioning 3d artists?
I know about fiverr, but it looks too easy to get scammed.

Maya is just as node based as houdini and im tired of pretending it isn't. Everything is a node. You look at the hypergraph or node editor and all you see is nodes. You can create new nodes with the python or c++ api. You can sell your new nodes commercially, without releasing their underlying code, unlike blender. You can script nodes with the python api. Everything is a damn node. Same as houdini.

I swear, even though I can make people do normal things, my default is always to portray them getting killed in horrific ways. I've been skimping out on the setup, and going straight to gettin' a man sawed in half.
How do you force yourself not to portray every way to die under the sun?

>blender explodes in popularity since v2.8
>the next generation of 3dcg job applicants will primarily be blender users
>big studios will refuse to switch to blender in their pipelines because what they have is "tried and true" (the last big change in industry standards was softimage to maya two decades ago, and god knows what kind of code and software studios are running that only work with maya)
>it'll be easier for maya users to get a nice job once most people looking for work only know blender
Granted it won't be for another 10 or so years before the market truly gets saturated with Blender users, and the outcome could be totally foiled if a big studio switches to Blender, but think about it. Instead of forcing people to learn Maya, why not let noobs be noobs and the people who are actually serious with 3DCG can cruise their way into employment? It's getting tougher to find a job as time goes, so any advantage matters, right?

How come 3d Character Creators like Mixamo fuse or make human suck so bad? You can only make the same 5 characters Makehuman would suck less if they had actually good hair options but they only have like 3 presets

"Critics" are saying that Avatar 2's 3d HFR versioin (48fps, stereostopic) is the most realistic 3d imagery ever made and that the water tech in HFR 3d stereo is better than anything they have ever seen before.

If you have ever used this application you are part of an elite race of 3d modelers and general computer hacker nerds in general. I'm talking about Anim8or. I used it when I was a kid, it was my first experience in 3d, before I got the copy of Maya 5 PLE with Unreal Tournament 2004.
