Old nuked thread:
https://warosu.org/3/thread/918176#p963992
Specifically, I’m really interested in how characters like pic related were modeled and textured to look semi-realistic and expressive (especially textures because I’m still terrible with them)
Feel free to post low-poly or just your favorite models/textures from the games of the good old era of games
how the piss do you get used to switching between different programs and software suites that use different camera/viewport controls?
Specifically,
I'm having to switch between blender, maya, and marvelous designer.
Unfortunately, I started and spent most of my time on blender. The Maya control set, is that more of an industry standard majority? I _think_ substance painter uses it for simple things like camera controls.
For those of you who do have to switch between environments, have you found a certain program's viewing controls are able to be adopted in all the competitors? I tried once to get Substance Painter to use Blenders, but it was something like everything but one set of key commands were unable to be switched which caused an insanity spiral of moving other actions around. This was 2018 or something though, maybe do-able nowadays.
Ahhghhhhhh I hate the shit outta everything.
previous thread >>1003156
it has more story than that but in general it will be comedy shorts where she lives somewhat traumatic and funny experiences, it's like a lolcow or something, it sounds kind of boring but I think it will work, anyway this thread will be to show my progress and receive criticism or death threats or maybe everything will ignore me I don't know.
Discuss and post anime styles in 3d. From figurines to celshaded models, etc.

In this case for example I bought a map where it came with a terrain that is just a flat plane, but I want it to be more of a cube because I want to add water and depth under it.
I will explain more in the comments
>Must have a budget of polys capped or lower to what a game from the year 2000 would usually have. Amount of triangles must be shown in the corner of each render.
>Everything must be made from scratch. No kitbashing. Sculpting/CADmodeling then decimating/retopo is allowed.
>All models must be uv mapped and fully textured and rendered in a realtime engine. No pbr.
>Textures must be low resolution. Maximum 512 by 512. Pictures and premade textures are allowed but they must be posted alongside the renders in their original and modified formats if they were not made from scratch. Showing UV layout is encouraged but not mandatory.
This is now my current level.

Forge mode is unironically the one of the most intuitive control schemes for manipulating objects in a 3d space. It would make 3d modeling much more accessible, at least to casual users.
Tell me why this wouldn’t work.

I assume paid lessons have the advantages of showing the workflow, but I guess time-lapses also works?
>Hurr I do it as a hobby
In today's economic climate dedicating this much time to a hobby, a skill, is a detriment to yourself. If you're young your hobby shouldn't have to take hours of grinding that net you nothing when those hours could and should be used to make you more financially secure. Hobbies are a luxury that most people can no longer realistically afford. If you can't make money from your hobby you are hurting yourself. That's not a good thing but that's the world we are in, and trust me I'm not happy about it either.
YOU WILL NOT MAKE ANY MONEY DOING THIS, MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE!!! Go learn a trade.
If you think I'm wrong, go ahead and tell me how you can make this a job 2025+ . Go on, prove me wrong.
This is generated by Hunyuan3d Image to 3D AI. What do we think about it?
So do people share their lewd models anywhere? Can't be expected to be on the normal places, right?
also readme.txt in pin is 404, FAQ did not cover this either
Here, a tutorial will be shown on how to do this from the basics.
So now they can keep investing their precious open-source funding that so many other FOSS projects thirst for, into useless stuff like the VSE (video sequence editor) that will never compete with proprietary or even specialized solutions, while somehow ignoring the many quality-of-life and useful ideas available in rightclickselect or in the ACTUAL CODE from pull-requests that people send them with useful additions, stuff that they refuse to add / ignore and let rot because they don't have to create a competitive product that sells, as it's already funded.
Blender gets to become this bloaty sluggish package that only "looks good" because there's no competition. There is no other 3D DCC package, and even if someone tried to create one they'd be discouraged from evangelist comments like "but Blender already exists".
But hey look, we changed the version number to 4. Hooray, that's progress, right?
Thank you, Blender?
More like get your shit together, Blender.

Anyway, she left the cocoon now and I'd like to get back to sculpting. But even more than before. So I was starting to check out tablets and I was horrified by the price of the nicer stuff.
My question is the following, you think old Cintiq still holding up to the current competition? I really want to try one with a screen but only second hand options in my area have Cintique (22,24,16 HD or not) for a price around 400-600€ (sometimes less, sometimes more). So should I try one of these even though they were released a decade ago?
I want to get into commissions but I worry that I won't be able to satisfy the client's needs. And worse case scenario: they ask for a refund if I cannot deliver to their standards.
If it were 2d, then it'd be way easier to revise again and again, but I understand that 3d is a completely different beast and that revisions aren't as easy.
If there is a discord, forum, steam group, literally anything that's active where I can talk about this subject please LMK!
Have a 3Ds Max/Maya question? recently started a project? Or simply want to complain about Maya crashing?

*also includes a separate model called "Paint" for creating and texturing UV maps from a mesh input
*The output mesh is a trimesh object, which you could save to glb/obj (or other file format).
* Create some kind of entry per project, with title, would be amazing to be able to manually set date from past for when you want to upload an old project
* Under this entry post screenshots/renders/files in form of images and videos and models
* Maybe some extra description field that allows leaving some extra notes and information on the project
* Maybe a comment section if someone wants to ask anything about it
* Maybe some kind of visibility setting that allows certain projects to only be visible to certain categories of people? For example I want to upload everything mostly just for myself to go through my stuff and get reminded of progress I made through time, but many of those projects are something that I probably wouldn't show to just anyone
Pre-rendered, game graphics, whatever you got.

Sure theres the easy stuff to get like open3dlab, SFMlab, Smutbase, some good stuff at sketchfab, and if you want something decent on Itch or Gumroad you have to already have found a good modeler in mind to find their stuff
Not to mention sometimes you can find models in animations or youtube with next to no credit so its near impossible to find sometimes, I get if its your own model you'd want to have private ownership but 8/10 times thats not the case
not being trolling, serious curious if there's anyone at this level.
I autisically save everything so hopefully I can help give back to a board that I love on this god-forsaken Mongolian basket weaving site

Can do, but then how the fuck do I texture it?
Please help. All tutorials online are for fucking forests or how to make a city with 5 house models copy-pasted all over the place. I need help for INTERIORS
Is it me or is this a mental way of doing this? Am I to believe this is the industry standard
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Npof3WuxYM
It seems they both use normal maps, roughness maps, maybe even metallic,
yet they also use handpainted textures, and somehow also painterly looking photorealistic textures sometimes I guess?
Would you consider this the hardest type of stuff to work on?

i am going to try to paint depth maps to sculpt 3d models ( only bas reliefs ) does it make any sence? will it work ? what should i be carefull about
Your most bestest super-duper render
I mean, is not a pose that is not realistic, nor is anatomically wrong.
Neither causes extreme strain on the body and can be sustained as resting pose.
Every tutorial I can find falls short in all of the same ways. Either it's an outdoor scene where the inside of the house is a hollow unusable shell, a purely interior scene with no attention paid to the exterior at all, or it doesn't show you how to make a roof on anything more complicated than a perfect rectangle or L shape.. or it's a "modern" house that is just a cube with a flat roof presumably to compensate for modelling roofs being too complicated.
And then I've tried this method of extruding planes over an image of a floor plan and that doesn't compute at all because I always end up with this twisting labyrinth of walls that looks completely out of whack in scale no matter how much I scale it up in comparison to my character. And then how do you properly make a roof for such a thing? Or make stairs to a second floor or basement and/or add these things real houses have like a 2nd story where its just a room or two and not a 1:1 extrusion up from the first story?
I've tried to just not think so hard about it and just make it up as I go, using whatever janky methods I need to block something out but I always create a total mess of duplicate edges and overlapping that I'm not even sure how I ended up with, and just seem to be wasting time trying to brute force a totally incorrect way of doing things
When I play games and open a door from outside and walk into a house it feels like I'm witnessing black magic. I would do shameful things in exchange for the knowledge of how to take reference of a complex house and recreate it as a scene where you can seamlessly walk in and out of it- and not see a bunch of fucked lighting artifacts and the like

Who was right?
fuck this timeline
All of mine look like poor video game renders.
Will be grateful for any and all helpful ressources you could point me to.
I remember Substance Painter was bitching about something when I was working on AMD card, but it was working pretty fine actually.
Where should I expect driver/compatibility/corporategreed fucky wuckies in various softwares?
All I want is a 3D model of picrel so that I can 3D print him for my personal satisfaction. There's free Pepe 3D model but the face doesn't look like this one. Aaarghhh! It feels like shit that this is the first time I'm being scammed. Fucking indonesian.
I'm developing a game that allow players to write in a 3D book, and I want the writing system to support Markdown, mostly for the ability to embed and render images within the game.
example: 
However, after extensive searching, I haven't found a suitable solution.
Most available plugins are designed for documentation rather than allowing players to write and edit text dynamically. I also experimented with a web-based approach using an HTML widget and the Marked.js library, but having an HTML widget for every page feels inefficient (as far i know, if there is a more efficient way to use web widget then that would be awesome).
A bit more context:
>Many of my game collectibles are HTML-based IE making a system that allows you to use some links as objects for certain areas.
>The game relies on both internet data (about 30%) and local storage, using reference links like the file:/// protocol.
>Ideally, I want a solution that doesn't require downloading additional in-game data.
>My background is in web development, and I'm aiming for something similar to Obsidian for the book in term of functionality.
Idk what to do. Would love suggestions on how to implement this customizable diary system efficiently. Any advice or alternative approaches?
I thought they would help me know what the pro workflow is, why is it all click bait?
https://files.catbox.moe/55cnu0.zip
Enjoy.
It feels inefficient to make them in Photoshop then save them then check them in Blender then have to eyeball what to fix and go back to Photoshop and hope I'm addressing the issues, is there something that would streamline this a bit? Blender's own texture painter is complete ass for low res/pixel art textures
Will this mean Blender will gain more notoriety over there?
I know it's already used quite a lot in Japan as is, but mostly by amateurs and for vtubers afaik
Use this thread to discuss things like good references, workflows, or just characters you find appealing and why.
For example, how do you design a character's face? What references would you use?
I would like to make an animation using the models Redmoa used, but I am just confused on the hair physics, as in this SFW video, there are hair physics: https://youtu.be/SkqhXkJiIg0?si=x9GFun8nYU1Xf2Tv
But when you load up the model in Blender, there are no physics to be found I believe, so my question is this: Is there a technique to get hair physics working, or is it done manually, frame by frame?
Also general OpenSCAD appreciation
How do you place the bones etc.
Not exactly the dress in the pic, but that type of dress with the long "loin cloth", not sure what the name is. Tabard dress? Qipao?
The character that will use it "fully modeled'. As in, the clothing can be taken off, or replaced with other clothes. Do you make a separate armature for the cloth or is it part of the characters armature?
I made some attempts, but making it behave nicely, especially when the character is sitting is a struggle.
Is this a good to replace blender modelling tools?
Also, what other 3DCG software is available on the Android? Surprise there hasn't been some sort of Blender port in the works.
I tried everything to make it work in Substance Painter, but I guess I either need to UV manually, which would me masochistic, or remodel completely. The shading artefacts and fucket up auto UV in Substance is just horrendous
the initial purpose was to print a copy of them and vacuum form a mold over them as a retainer, because i grind my teeth and tear up my retainers really fast, and they're 200$ to get replaced.
a secondary goal is to slightly pivot my teeth to undo the shifting they've experienced since i got my braces off. DIY invisalign.
the same idea as what this guy did:
https://amosdudley.com/weblog/Ortho
my question is, what program should i work in to manipulate these scans? i've got .obj files. i know fusion360 but it's not really built for stuff like this. i've done the blender donut but that's about all of my blender experience. can i do this sort of parametric work in blender? like, sectioning off a tooth and rotating it, or setting a distance to keep between certain features?
previous thread >>995861
I'd look in the pinned FAQ, but half of the links are missing and half of the images won't load.
But what's the point of learning 3D? Like what can you realistically do if you get good at it?
Can the average person make a living out of this, or is it like 2D art where 99% don't even have a job prospect
I understand the modeling is just basic low poly with a subsurf modifier.
What I don't get 100% is the texturing and I wonder if is just albedo texturing in photoshop or Krita.
The other thing is the shading.
Prety sure this is not a complex shader and would be funny if it's just a basic 1 tone shadow toon shader.
The funny thing is that It would be hilarious if this guy is just using PS2 tricks but on 2025.
Any hint? the dff. model works great in my game but I'm stuck with this issue related to the txd. file. This is my first time making a skin from a 3D model that's not something from gta sa so no idea what im doing wrong.
I'm using autodesk 3d max 2012.
How do I fix it?
400 Euros max
Yes it's for work
