🧵 how into /3d/ for office chair design

Anonymous at Tue, 2 Jul 2024 05:28:22 UTC No. 988715

I want to design a 3d model of an office chair, down to scaled dimensions and moveable parts to demonstrate how it would operate. I have zero /3d/ experience so what's an friendly entry-level way to go about this? I don't mind it being low poly
picunrel just a steelcase chair

🧵 Is 26 too late to get good at 3D?

I trained as a graphic designer and I’m now a somewhat accomplished commercial illustrator but 3D has been my endgame for years now but was too busy with photoshop and illustrator to learn it.

Realistically how long would it take to get good. I only really wanna do stuff like picrel initially.

Would it be easy to make and render these kinds of vaporwave graphics on a MacBook Pro M1? I dont want to bother with expensive PCs and graphics cards and I also hate windows.

Not sure where else to ask, but is there a Koikatsu-like program that's non-anime? As someone who can't actually model, I enjoy modding games sometimes to edit already existing models, which does help me learn programs like Blender.

It may still be used in mobile games or modern games, I'm not sure. But I'd be really curious to hear if there's a particular process to get this done in a fast enough way or if it's a matter of spending time on it.
Tips to make the actual texture fitting this would be appreciated too.

Learning architecture with a 3DCG focus? at Thu, 27 Jun 2024 15:56:29 UTC No. 988399

How do 3D artists learn to do architecture like this?
What books read or what courses they take?
3D CG artist take architecture classes?
I thought that if i wanted to draw fantasy architecture like this, i should start studying real old architecture. I looked for some books on the subject but most pivot to the historical aspect rather than explain the elements of the buildings that are iconic of every era and every country and their functionality.

>"Hurrr just model arches and add bullshit"
>"Just search on google images for lots of references bro"
Both of these takes are retarded.
1. The style greatly deviates depending the building, so just by adding arches with bullshit i could end with a mix of styles, which won't look good.
2. While elegant, these are FUNCTIONAL designs, if look at the hallway image on bottom left, you can see the ceiling integrity is related to the design. Not only it looks pretty, there is a logic behind it.

So, why am I so happy? I usually do humans in sculpt mode which I fucking hate for some reason but I did this mostly in edit mode! How amazing is that! I didn't know I could do it like that and it seems so much easier and I can make heads more accurately!

🧵 Basic Animations

Anonymous at Tue, 25 Jun 2024 21:30:15 UTC No. 988230

First post here ever and I have almost no experience 3D modeling, but I am trying to make content which will require some basic understanding of it. But the type of animations I need are extremely rudimentary, more symbolic representations of what I'm saying. This may seem strange but in short, what I need is some sort of software that will allow me to do basic animations such as a sphere rotating and/or moving around on a black plane. Another animation example I need specifically is a circle with a point that rotates cyclically around the shape of the circle.

So in other words, I don't need super complex animations but more just basic polygons in motion. Is Blender my best bet here? My buddy recommended SFM as well but based on what I've seen from SFM, it doesn't seem like it's the best program suited for my purposes.

I guess my final question is, how long would it take realistically to learn this level of 3D animation?

Pic related.

Maybe dumb question, but for character animation is it better to sculpt the character and then retopo or simply model it, and why?

🧵 Is 3D modelling quick to do?

Anonymous at Mon, 24 Jun 2024 10:29:40 UTC No. 988081

I'm a commercial illustrator and one thing I hate about actual illustration is it takes so long just to do one project and everything has to be lit, textured and drawn laboriously and even then you've only got one fixed perspective.

3D has always been an endgame for me because it frees me from all these constraints, but also because it seems people can make stuff really fast with it. Is it true that it's quicker in that respect, I only want to do basic vaporwave type stuff like this, nothing too involved.

What's the board obsession with DAZ? I regularly use blender, Zbrush, etc in my pipeline and never even once considered using DAZ. I don't even know what it does, yet you all seem to insist on it.
The only thing I know about DAZ is that every model that comes out of it looks like a single mom with a skin disease and a permanent fluoride stare. Even the stylized characters seem to have a "look" about them that instantly betrays their dazzieness. What's the deal? What's being offered in DAZ that I can't get anywhere else?
