previous thread >>995861
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?

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.

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
>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.

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.
I assume paid lessons have the advantages of showing the workflow, but I guess time-lapses also works?
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?
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.
its over???
https://dynvfx.github.io/
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
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
All of mine look like poor video game renders.
Will be grateful for any and all helpful ressources you could point me to.

So do people share their lewd models anywhere? Can't be expected to be on the normal places, right?

Is it better than a mouse and will it enhance my sculpting abilities?
What affordable model do you recommend? Not something super expensive. I've been looking at Huion since their reviews state they produce better things than Wacom, or should I get a wacom?
Also, what other 3DCG software is available on the Android? Surprise there hasn't been some sort of Blender port in the works.
Also general OpenSCAD appreciation
Have a 3Ds Max/Maya question? recently started a project? Or simply want to complain about Maya crashing?

Is this a good excuse to learn how to make porn animations in blender? been postponing learning animation and only did some basic scene modeling, but one of my bucket list thing was making porn of stuff like this
Im not too fond of downloading russian repack.. so id rather do it trial way.
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
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
Is it some special program? I think this involves a lot more than just array -> curve modifier in blender.
Game is Tokyo Xtreme Racer, just came out a few days ago.
Lets start with some sculptures made for a client that collects them and wants to see them in his new apartment. Technique: Photogrammetry from a video taken by the client and then processed for low res and multicolor.
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.
>cannot do a simple walk
Why does this commonly seem to filter so many animators?
Is it really that hard to animate walking?
Pre-rendered, game graphics, whatever you got.
Who was right?
I'm making a new /ueg/ then, please forgive the absence of links and other useful information normally associated with such kinds of threads but I was never a regular and therefore did not save them.
What're you up to anon?
So... how much longer until i'm making looped WEBMs of furry porn and charging a thousand dollars per character commission?
it gets better... right? i feel like a baby just learning to crawl.

You think it's a realistic idea/goal to set up a studio and iterate on it starting from my bedroom?
I'm a programmer and want to get into animation and was thinking about this from a gamedev perspective that really doesn't have the will to learn 3D animations the manual way. I realise how kind of dumb it sounds but I legit don't know anything about it but the logic behind doesn't seem so complex though

Also I will not mind criticism, it will help me to understand what I do wrong.

I get that people working in industries like architecture, civil engineering, and education like to use Rhino, but is it worth learning the program as a casual hobbyist?
The dream from the beginning was to achieve "2.5D" graphics like they were common around 2000, in SC:BW, RA2, Infinity Engine and such. [spoiler]I’m just a programmer.[/spoiler]
I’ve come a surprisingly long way now using cheap assets from itch.io, to the point that many units are at least isometric.
But for some of the remaining units, which are vital to the gameplay, it’s quite unlikely to ever find fitting ready-made spritesheets. So my next best idea would be rendering spritesheets from existing 3D models, as I understand there’s a lot more variety and flexibility in that space.
Throw any guidance and advice my way?
Actually I’m wondering if any Anon would be interested in doing this rendering for me. for money.
Unreal Engine has Landscape, yes, but I'm not interested in Unreal, I'm talking older games like Skyrim, Fallout 3, or even GTA San Andreas which I replayed recently, like how the FUCK did they create those massive open worlds? Especially in SA's case I find it especially impressive, as it has both kinds of environments one would be faced with in tackling this endeavour, both natural (countryside, deserts, mountains) and man made (roads, sidewalks, skyscrapers).
I looked up possible answers on G*ogle but all answers are just news articles glorifying (rightfully so) Beth's and Rockstar's open worlds, but there aren't actual technical details like what program they even used, settings, that kind of stuff, nothing that can allow me some wannabe to even begin trying to ape their work. I did find a very useful GDC talk going over modular kits [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBAM27YbKZg ], but while great that video goes over buildings and interiors (they used 3DSMax, one could use Blender as well if they wanted to), not open world creation. They touch on it briefly in the video I just linked, but more on a conceptual level, like oh we first draw a map, then we define the coastline, then the roads etc. but I'd like to know, again, more technical details, like are these worlds created as a simple plane in 3DS/Blender, how do they go about texturing such a huge plane without using enormous textures, how do they export it into a game engine, do they import it whole or do they slice it up in pieces for optimization and whatnot, and so on and so forth
My problem is that this plugin doesn't work for me. I should be able to click the file tab to get the option to export, but this doesn't show up for me, picrel (the left is how it should look, the right is how it looks for me). Anyone know how to fix this?
Lets see some houses!

Would love to know all the options!
Without a reference I don't know how to make my animation look convincing. Are there any tutorials which explain the body movement ?
