Hi anons,

So Im getting into using Solidworks partially for fun and partially for a potential future in automotive mechanical design. Ive run through lots of tutorials and exercises and I feel pretty comfortable with the basic principles.

In order to challenge myself ive been taking home old parts from work (I work at a high end auto shop) and trying to recreate them perfectly in SW. This is great but I want to challenge myself more. What resources, classes, or exercises can I do to fill out my solidworks skillset?

🧵 I have no creativity

Anonymous No. 976922

But I can use Blender somewhat, so I just make models from schematics
I was also thinking of remaking art by actually creative and artistic people in 3D, or replicating video game scenes.
Anyone else like this?

This is from Lethal Company. Whenever you're modelling/texturing/rigging/whatever and get hung up on stupid shit that nobody cares about, take a step back and remember that this game made $100m

🗑️ 🧵 All these layoffs mean you wasted your LIFE!

Anonymous No. 976685

All of you were struggling with getting a decent job for the past 5 years. then AI showed up and you got scared shitless. NOW nearly half of developers got laid off, projects cancelled and studios shutting down across the board. Wages are being cut in half now that there's no more demand. AAA games are not a good business decision anymore meaning the people who mastered their craft in 3D literally waste their life since no one needs them. If you struggled with getting a job before, things just got 10x harder, pay will be worse and now you compete with AI. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

🧵 Learning Hard Surface Modeling in Blender.

Anonymous No. 976621

So I am only a day old diving into Blender after 3 years of trying 3DS Max with no progress which is more of a skill issue on my end.

I am specifically wanting to model cars. I have something started but am not too happy with the outcome of the doors. I am starting with blueprints but still getting to grips with pretty much everything else.

What tips can you give an absolute noob when it comes to modelling?

🧵 Rigging solution for minimum amount of work

Anonymous No. 976535

I'm having a hard time finding some guidelines on this, I guess cause riggin stuff are industry kept secrets.
But I'm a gamedev and I'd like to automate this process as much as possible if not completely.
So the rigging part, the control rig part and ESPECIALLY the weight painting part cause I can enjoy any of these BUT weight painting.

I dev in Unreal so I need my bone hierarchy to fit Unreal's mannequin one. What addons/plugins should I go for (if that possible to automate completely that shit in the first place)?
I don't care if it's in Maya, Blender, whatever as long as I end up with a character correctly rigged to use anim packs from the Epic Market place. I'll pick the ones that lifts up the most work from my shoulders.

What I say is true:

If you truly know how to draw then you already know how to make 3D models to the fullest extent. It should take you no more than a week to understand the basic tools.

Why did you guys choose 3D over drawing? Is it because drawing it's too difficult?

I've been thinking if I like drawing or 3D more and what to invest more time on, because with 2D you can also animate

They are maximally exploited but they pisseth and shitteth themselves to see their names in the CREDITS.
Then they wonder why they get no respect.

Just found out this 3d artist I've been following for years and buying thousands of dollars worth of assets from has wildly incorrect anatomy after studying anatomy myself. I can't believe I didn't study anatomy sooner.

🧵 Impostor Syndrome and Advice

Anonymous No. 976003

I work at a well-known game company. I'm 20 years old. I can't post any works I've created due to NDAs. I don't create much outside of work. I've been with the company for about six months. Recently, I've been experiencing a dangerous amount of imposter syndrome. My models are pretty mid-level. Macro details exist, and they look great. But micro details and hard surface details are missing. Also, I'm terrible at game optimization. I feel like I have to learn as fast as possible, otherwise I'm just making the products I'm working on worse. Thankfully, none of my assets were rejected. I've noticed that a lot of other artists get high praise for the work they submit, and most of the time I get thank yous. I think I know why. It's not that I feel I'm entitled to praise. I wouldn't want to get it if my work wasn't as good as theirs. Does anyone have any advice or tips for me on how to improve my assets creation, macro / micro detail workflows, and optimization? Additionally, do any anons have any free therapy advice I could take advantage of to not feel so shitty about my work?

>Set parent to armature deform

The model is low-poly so I don't need any weight-painting but there has to be a quicker method right?

This thread is for the discussion of tulpamancy using 3d as a form of Concentration. My theory is that concentrating on the shape using 3d modelling software can help in the creation, I'm new in this and I want to experiment with Blender and the creation of tulpas in Blender
