š§µ .mesh files
Anonymous at Sun, 19 Nov 2023 11:53:08 UTC No. 964742
due to 'tism shifting into overdrive I've decided to try learning 3d modeling to make a scale figure of a videogame character I like.
I have no experience whatsoever and I will probably drop and pick up the project at least five times before making some progress.
With that said I found a 3d model ripped from a game. I was planning to start fucking around with Blender but I'm having trouble importing the file.
It is a .mesh file along with some .png textures.
Reading up online, I found out that the file type is used by a program called XNALara but unfortunately it's only for Windows and I'm currently on Mac.
I also found out that there's a Blender add-on to import the .mesh files but it's not for the Blender release I have, so I've downloaded a supported Blender release but I get errors when importing the file after installing the add-on (pic related).
Apparently there's also a program called Nifskope that could use to convert the .mesh to .obj but I'm having trouble setting it up.
I've also tried installing the JoroDox extension for Chrome and it's still running.
Does anyone with experience with .mesh files has some tips on how to get started?

š§µ retopologizing someone else's work
Anonymous at Sat, 18 Nov 2023 21:38:06 UTC No. 964685
How hard is it to get away with just retopologizing someone else's body or head mesh? Is this a common occurrence?
Pic related is some game mod body that I started retopology on. I'm going to change some proportions and put clothes over it, so hopefully nobody notices.

/wip/ - Works In Progress - SOULLESS Edition Mk2
You know I'm getting tired of asking for the original hobbit hole pic and not getting it, so I'll keep putting in the OP the SOULLESS version until further notice.
Anyway post your work-in-progress projects, recently finished projects, or things you'd like critiqued here.

AI won't replace actual humans for the next few decades because they lack the capacity for improvisation and problem solving that a person would have. You don't see anyone scrambling to replace lawyers because a soulless machine can't appeal to a judge and jury, same goes for most other professions that require a degree of flexibility for someone to make a creer out of them to begin with.
In other words, STOP BEING A PANSY ASS BITCH AND GO STUDY RIGHT NOW, FAGGOT.

How are artists holding up finding a job these days? It feels like every one of these artists have to go around begging for money on patreon. Does that art have like a unique or special hidden trait to it that i don't get it so perhaps i should spend more time researching carefully into different artworks so i can start seeing this implicit deep meaning in it?

Beginner here, would you say this is a good base for me to start building a face off of? Any noticeable issues? Been struggling with these for a while, so I'm looking for pointers on what I should focus on improving. Any help is appreciated
š§µ hiring artists is a genuine waste of fucking money.

someone has great portfolio, you hire them and their art sucks and is nowhere near as good. apparently they didn't practice enough to be consistent and are only doing this for money instead of love for art, so they do the absolute bare minimum to get hired for a job. too busy playing video games instead of practicing art, only studying when they need to get 2 models on their portfolio. they are also anti-social as hell, they don't care about the project, have zero interest in the company and you can tell from their monotonous voice they are just desperate for a job and don't care about anything else.
None of you deserve a job, and I'm glad you're all struggling with how much money & time you waste from companies from doing bare minimum

Well shit, isn't that Ironic.
What machines would you recommend to replace it in a ~1000-1500 bucks price range? I don't care if the fans are noisy or it gets very hot, i just need it to perform good when i'm away from home.
Bonus thanks if its design isn't glowing gaymer jet engine shit.

If I post my work here, i'll be unable to post it on youtube or traditional forums because I'll be associated with this place even though moot started it, sold it, and still got hired by google.
This is why I can't just post my work. It pains me that I can't get true anonymous feedback on the work I'm currently doing.

Even on paid sub Maya 2024, Quad Draw is still buggy for me. Doing stuff it shouldnt be doing, locking me out of being able to extrude what I want and only letting me edit a small area, requiring constant clear history. Is it like this for anyone else?

Hello, Last saturday i was informed by an internet chum of mine about blender. I have never used 3d modeling tools before and was interested to give it a try, had an old housemate show me some stuff about 10 years ago and it looked tedious and overly complicated and i had no pc at the time either.
I have now used blender for less than 24 hours in total and am enjoying learning, have made 2 (well 1.5) things so far.
My E-Chum also informed me about this board, as he said it can have good info here now and then so here i am.
I like sculpting the best so far and spent 3 hours today experimenting with geometry and extrusion, inset tools etc, so may check out this more often.
Thank you for reading my blog.

Photo scanning
Got myself a good camera
What are the best ways and programs to do this?
And which Ai/programs can create these scans as 3d models best?
Have some experience with Blender and Sketchup

Any idea what algo they use? I've experimented with Magic3D, Dreamfusion and many more ai driven 3d generation algos and they all suck and take ages to generate anything and yet Meshy AI can generate anything in under a minute?!
There's also a competitor called Genie that does similar.
Any idea what they use?
