Is "material artist" even a vocational career path for anybody? I feel people stumble upon it rather choosing it as such.

🧵 My first rigged chraracter model - good enough?
Anonymous at Wed, 27 Sep 2023 03:36:00 UTC No. 959707
I have certainly made many mistakes here, but I'm hoping this will be passable enough to finish and release a game in the next couple months. My aim here is to look "stylised" in a way that makes my amateurishness not as obvious as if I was targeting a AAA-style game.
Any/all tips are appreciated. I'm kinda fumbling in the dark. I like the "256fes" style textures but I have no idea how to draw them, so right now the texture is literally just a few flat colours and gradients and I just place them in various places along the gradient.
I am aware that the animations aren't really up to snuff. Not really sure how much of that I can fix without spending a disproportionately long amount of time down that rabbit hole.

Is 3D modeling and animation gonna die out as a viable career path in the west now that every single studio seems to be outsourcing modeling and animation work to chinese and indian sweatshops?

In rigging in Maya, or any other software, is it okay if I want to simply move a joint that is skinned already to the mesh, to modify the mesh in its shape? Will this break anything down the line when I add controllers? Or is using skin weights and slight move adjustments on the bones acceptable so long as I move it now before adding controls?
🧵 mocap on a budget
Anonymous at Mon, 25 Sep 2023 17:04:00 UTC No. 959553
Is this board only for modeling or is animation discussion also allowed?
I've been researching mocap on a budget and this seems to be the sweet spot between "retarded rotoscoping scuffed motion capture from video" and "$200k mocap studio with 50 cameras".
Any other ideas?

🧵 blender middle wheel button issues
Anonymous at Mon, 25 Sep 2023 01:42:15 UTC No. 959481
it was working as it should an hour ago, but it stopped suddenly. can't rotate (but occasionally it does in spurts), can't pan. i can still zoom in and out with the middle wheel though. nothing on google seems too helpful, even the youtube vids are limited although it seems to be a common problem. pic related are my settings.
already tried:
>factory reset
>enable/disable emulate 3 button mouse
>restarting blender
>restarting machine
mouse wheel seems fine everywhere else outside the program, it scrolls as it should. currently, alt+lmb on blender seems to work for rotation alternative, but i want the middle wheel button back since that was what i was used to.
any help appreciated

This video shows that we made the weapon models, and game code, for supporting unreal/unreal-tournament style maps allready (all opensource: models, gamecode, etc). Various 3rd party maps the game support: Q3, Minetest, Wolfenstine:EnemyTerritory/TrueComb
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul6
It also supports quake3 arena BSP format: I hacked that in when I was doing wolfenstine:enemy territory.
This video shows wolfenstine:enemyterritory maps being loaded in the game and engine and played: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rh6

Trying to model a bathtub in Blender and I have no idea how to "push out" these subdivisions in a way which leaves the top/bottom edge intact while the rest forms this kind of arc you typically see.

I'm learning how to make trim sheets with booleans and stuff.
But when I look at my stuff in Orthogonal view, the cylindrical "holes" don't show up.
They appear in perspective view however.
I'm really confused I wanna make cool sci fi panels :3

I am very new to blender, and i have run into an issue google-fu can't seem to fix
whenever i try to apply scale to a rigged model, part of it breaks, and some of the bones coordinates jump to random(?) locations.
any fixes? similar posts on [spoiler]reddit[/spoiler] say to basically rebuild the rig from scratch, wich sounds retarded.
ty in advance

Is it a bad thing that I don’t focus too much on making realistic/highly detailed stuff? It’s getting annoying figuring out texture stuff or needing to find a new software to bake better or do some other little thing I’m going to hate the process of. I’m still improving, but here’s a cel shaded thing I’ve done to show where I’m at with this so far

🧵 Fear of AI making any learning pointless
Anonymous at Sat, 23 Sep 2023 03:40:09 UTC No. 959267
To preface, I want to clarify that I don't oppose AI development, and I recognize the inevitability of technological progress. However, I'm grappling with the uncertainty surrounding how long it will take for AI to perform 3DCG tasks I've dedicated time and effort to learning, but at a fraction of the cost it would take to employ me. If I decide to go to animation school, I'd like to ensure that my skills remain relevant for a reasonable span, ideally a couple of decades. Unfortunately, I'm unsure if I'll have that much time left in this career after completing my education. How do you all reconcile this concern?
