🧵 how do i bubble
Anonymous at Sat, 16 Sep 2023 18:30:38 UTC No. 958476
i've got this little 3d rendering in sketchup.
there's a flat circular surface with concentric rings.
the rings that are lower i want to have filled in with a kind of glue or something, so that it will bubble up and harden like that and be raised higher than the rest of the surface
so i basically want raised concentric rings that are curved instead of straight
it should look like liquid with high surface tension keeping it from spilling over
how can i do that? is it even possible in sketchup?
thank you for any help you may be able to give

Is there a Blender addon that lets you spawn a sphered cube from the Add menu?

Elon's tweeted Floki, Milady, and BabyDoge once and they all made it to 100M+ and 1B+ respectively. He just tweeted Success Kid meme 3 times. Do you think it can make it to 100M?

How is the cg career going anon? You did spend time over the past decade plus working on your skills so you aren't made obsolete by AI or you aren't stuck doing shitty monkey work for the next 35 years. Right?
Please tell me you've paid off your house and don't have a 30 year jew chain still around your neck...
🧵 Have you seen this 3D model ?

I download this Rouge pic long time ago on this board, but i can't find the author at all.
It might be the only model with a good style.

🧵 Engine development is about to get freaky
Anonymous at Thu, 14 Sep 2023 13:21:20 UTC No. 958147
We're seeing more and more AAA devs drop their engines in favor of third-party, and even 500+ employee studios like CDPR and Ubi are dropping their in-house engines left and right cause no devs can figure out how to make them work. Now one of the only two engines "professional" devs seem to consider viable just committed suicide.
What do you think is gonna happen? Are we about to see more Cryengine game? Total Unreal domination? Godot in AAA? A return to in-house engines where devs struggle to keep up with industry standards?

Dear Anons, please bear with me, this is not a bait thread. I've worked for 10 years as a graphic designer and when I decided to go 100% freelance I went for Affinity Suite instead of Adobe so I didn't have to pay a subscription. I had a really bad time because everyone expected me to use Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, etc. Eventually I had to go back to Adobe, I was losing money. Now I'm in a position where I have to learn 3D so I can keep a couple of big clients. My question is, would I have the same bad experience if I choose to go Blender instead of Maya? I don't care about stuff like FoSS philosophy or feature parity, if I have to spend money to make money, I will. I just want to know if it's true that Maya is what's expected when talking about 3D.

My character has a mechanical arm that turns into an arm cannon, like megaman. How can I achieve this in blender? Below is a picture of the arm.

How useful is an iPhone with LiDAR? I'm just getting into 3D for art and interior design for my home. It sounds cool but I'm betting it's not very useful in practice. I just imagine all the 3D scanning apps are subscriptions and Apple makes it a bitch to actually get the scans off your iPhone and onto a Windows PC.

Why do Blender tutorials suck? Like genuinely, so many of them are just awful and they're typically in one of two categories
>tutorial is too basic and teaches the bare minimum, most common among broad tut's like "HOW TO BE AN ANIMATOR IN 25 MINUTES!"
>tutorial teaches you exactly how to do one specific method of doing something but will not explain why this method works, what is actually happening with each action, or if other methods exist
It makes learning this program hell. There's so many tools and I want to learn what they all do and WHY I would use them and how it interacts with other tools. It's ridiculous.
It took me almost 2 weeks to learn about TLA and how it works after digging through a ton of different animation tutorials and it makes animation 10x easier yet so many tutorials never mention it or don't even acknowledge it's existance.

Debris and clutter is my absolute kryptonite
What's your workflow for creating meshes such as the debris under the billiard table?
Making it artificially in Maya for example looks very fake and unnatural. I'd guess these might be photoscans, but all photoscans I've ever seen of debris like this looks like shit
