I have a mesh joined from dozens, possibly hundreds of smaller intersecting meshes. Now I want to turn it into a single non-intersecting mesh and start sculpting. Is there a way to do some kind of boolean union for everything at once? I'd like to avoid sitting for hours applying booleans manually for every individual submesh. Plugins, scripts - anything is good if it works.
🧵 THIS IS ABOUT LIGHTING NOT POLITICS

I was just gonna post in a different lighting thread but I guess it's gone.
Now I have a problem often and other anons have complained about it too. That is you spent all this time sculpting the most gorgeous googoo eyed anime waifu in the world and when you put lights to her she turns into a gargoyle. In the previous thread I brought up using real life photography lighting to light your scenes. Light a living room animation like how theyd light a commercial filmed in a living room. I just saw this which is an absolutely amazing use a beauty lighting to turn a very ugly old woman 40 years younger. And you can see very clearly how they did it in the reflections in her eyes.
The problem with old women in the real world and the problem with your 3d models is the same. The human eye looks for shapes typically cast by shadows on the face to determine its attractiveness. Photographers defeat this effect by lighting from underneath. This blows out uglifying shadows. It's why your model looks great with the default lighting in the modelling software, but looks like shit under point lighting.
>To get to it
on either side we have 2 big rectangular diffuse lights. Light is scattered across a white filter. In software you might call that an area light. The light is cast from a wide area to eliminate sharp shadows. along the bottom is the biggest and brightest light. It's width extends to underneath the side lights too. This light is what fills in every nook and cranny on her face.
On the top is the smallest(but still cast from a diffuse filter), and dimmest light. It has to be the dimmest so that it does not overpower the other lights and cast ugly shadows. You still need it there because if you light only from the bottom you make a spooky ghost face.

I want smooth shiny women with youthful faces. How much would one have to pay to get such a model?
🧵 What (important) animation tools Maya has that Blender lacks?
Anonymous at Wed, 25 Sep 2024 15:27:11 UTC No. 996424
Yet another annoying Maya and Blender thread.
What tools does Maya have for character animation, which Blender does not have, or has them, but in much worse state? I've read plenty of articles on the subject, but didn't manage to get a clear answer.
What I've gathered that Maya has an animation layers built-in, while Blender requires an addon for it. Also Maya has animbot script, which, people say, very powerful? What other important, big animation tools Maya has, but Blender has not? Also, what kind of stuff Animbot has, which Blender has not?
Asking because I work in Blender myself, got some experience in it. And during my work, I often encountered various problems with gimbal locks and graphs (like handles suddenly shifting in an unpredictable way), and I wonder if Maya has something to counteract those, and other common issues animators encounter while using other software?

im animating using maya3D, and its a bit of a pain. It renders slow too.
Should i just export my models and animate with Gmod? They arent high quality and im using flat lighting anyhow.

Why won't blender show this white texture as white? Its applying some kind of darkening to it, even though I'm directly connecting the RGB to the material output

Rules for me:
>No basemeshes/kitbashing, everything must be modeled or sculpted.
>Complete low frequency.
>At least some mid frequency.
>High frequency is optional.
Requests are welcome and you are welcome to criticize and even post your own superior sculpts, no rules for you!

Megascans will go behind a paywall at the end of 2024.
Or something like that. Epic just sent out a vaguely worded email:
- Megascans will be available through Fab starting in October
- Megascans will be 'free' till the ***end of 2024***
- New pricing model will be introduced
- Some Megascans will remain free
- Megascans content you got for free will still be in your account (probably?)
- Bridge will be discontinued (?)
options:
1. Add every megascans item to your account now and pray epic lets you keep them
2. Buy a new harddrive and download everything now
3. Hope that everything free now will remain free as legacy content

unity has apparently caved and completely abandoned the run time fee. they will keep the seat based subscription model. if you use unity6 you maybturn off the "made with unity" logo too.
