The future of the entire 3d industry is looking pretty grim with more and more senior/mid artists applying for a junior role. Seems like leaving this field is the only viable option. How many of you guys here are currently working full time? And how are you guys coping?

Stupid Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread
mfw
When starting out in 3D, is it better to finish as many models as you can (or projects if you'd like to call them that way) and keep adding more sophisticated technologies and techniques as you learn them or is it better to just polish one model and keep adding stuff to it as you learn? I come from a 2D background and when it comes to drawing quantity is king, you should be drawing every day as much as you can. Is it the same for 3D? I would've posted this in a SQTDDTOT but there's no such thread at the moment (you can use this thread for that, if you'd like)

Zbrush requiring a shit ton of info
R
I'm having to purchase Zbrush for school, and have settled on the subscription liscence, but only for a while. It baffles me that Zbrush, or rather Maxon, requires so much goddamn information about you just to be able to purchase it. Did everyone else go through this? Is there a way around it? A school ID I'd understand, but it asks for your drivers liscense and a video of you turning your head. Without suggesting an alternative like Blender, is there a way around this? Or do I just have to bite the bullet?

Lowpoly pixel texturing consistency
Annotation 2024-11-15 160640
When doing lowres pixelart texture for lowpoly model, depending on UVs and seems some lines are perfect while others are choppy and pixelated. How would you make this more consistent? Any suggestions what are the most wrong things here and how to make it better while still maintaining thicc-pixel-lowpoly style? I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing when in comes to lowpoly character modelling and texturing so even entrylevel tips are welcome.

PS2-Era Graphics
IMG_4373
Im working on developing some games in my spare time and I’d really like to target the fidelity of ps2-ps3 style games, mostly for stylistic purposes (but also because I’m solo and don’t have the time and resources to make too many high poly things)

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

3d open worlds (non-unreal)
sos
What techniques and programs are used to create open world games?
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

If you're already proficient in 3D, use this thread as a way to help new people grow with either tutorials you know of or general advice. I'll grab any that are good and try to stick them at the top of each new thread if this takes off

If your a /beg/ use this thread to ask questions or to post some of your works you've done.

Also, try to avoid the donut tutorial. We get enough of that on this board as is.

How advanced are the rigs from Sircus3D animations? I'm referring his early work.
Dead_or_Alive_2_cover_art
The way the models look remind me of DOA games so i used them for picerel.

If you want an example just find rule34 sircus video with the 5 nurses or search 'sircus3d hentai'. I got some ideas I want to bring to life and I need my animations and models to look exactly like that.
What type of rig is involved here and will I need to use any scripts to get it to bend and move the way I want? His breast and butt physics seem on point too so I have to wonder if it's hand keyed+ physics rather than relying solely on the engines physics.

Blender Question: How to Create Clothes
sheet
Hey Chuds! I am seeking more advise from wizards again, this time about creating clothes for a rigged character. I downloaded this Shantae model by Zy0n7, AMAZING model the rig itself is ok it gets the job done the only problem is the clothing. I wanted "pic related" clothing (blue jacket, red bikini top and bottom and sun glasses) but it is not included with the model. The creator said that the clothing and props are rendered only and where not part of the mesh data. I NEED to create this clothing but, alas I am but a lowly Chud with not much experience in creating, mostly posing and lighting. I have seen there are plugins for cloth but I honestly have no idea where to start to recreate these clothes.

>Could a wizard help a nigga out, what is the best way to create clothes and make it part of the rig when I'm posing it?
>Is there a website where I could download clothing and append it to the file?
>Is there a plugin that could make this easier to do?

Juliet Starling Blender 3.6 Posing Lag
GbF7QgtW4AANyT_
Hey Chuds, I recently downloaded a Juliet Starling model off SmutBase by the creator Digital Hell and its the best model they got of this character but the Posing speed is atrocious and I tried everything to improve it and nothing. I simplified it reducing all viewport options to 0, put the render engine to cycles GPU compute (I have Nvidia Geforce RTX 3070), using blender 3.6 (as comments in smutbase say downgrading helps), the 3D viewport always as solid and nothing works maybe a slight improvement to posing speed but still lagging in pose mode. Also the viewtarget for her eyes is able to be moved but her eyes do not move accordingly. Could a 3d wizard help a Coomer out, I'm still relatively noobish to blender as-well, please I'm begging for a hero. I'll leave the link to the model download so you can see what I'm talking about when trying to pose the character.

Character using one shared mesh?
1696405824608483
Would it be feasible for a customizable character to use one shared mesh and just interpolate between male/female with shape keys?
My reasoning for this is to avoid having to make two versions of every piece of apparel, body texture, etc.
I think I might run into issues with animations but that's probably doable via IK and adjusting skeletal proportions additively.
Are there any base meshes that do this already so i can start prototyping clothes/customization?

Hey everyone, I could use some advice. I'm 29 and currently stuck in a soul-draining 9-5 remote job, so I'm looking to pick up a new hobby for the weekends. I've been considering diving into 3D modeling, with the ultimate goal of joining a creative community and making new friends. One of my specific goals is to create a 3D render of this character, then resin print and paint it to test my skills. I'm aiming to achieve this by the end of March 2025. With the right resources and dedication, do you think this goal is realistic, or am I too old for it and it would be better to just commission a professional to do this?

Can some blender wizard help me?

I want to imitate this art shading in blender.

The issue is that the light and shadow boundaries doesnt seem to follow the definition if this was a 3D mesh.
They seem to imitate similar boundaries if the mesh were under a subsurf modifier and used a toon shader.
But at the same time the light shadow boundarie seems to follow very closelly if there are creases, similar in that area to a bevel operator more than a smooth subsurf surface. This is more obvious on the joint ares and the fingers and the groin area in some anime art, specially if there's something like a shirt of jeans.

The specular is closer to a metalic in PBR shaders or a phong model very shiny specular, It usually follow simpler shapes than the shadow, and sometimes is even the shape of circles or something that looks like the shape of a RIM light but beyond the area of a normal rim light.

There's also the reflected light of the ambient light, but this seems to follow something like a curvature map and a vector towards the left area of the camera view point.

There's also the RIM light, which follow fresnel logic, but in a simplified fashion.

Colors don't seem to follow really a realistic logic but more a color ramp type of logic.

What is the best workflow or tool to maintain consistent texel density in Blender? All I can find online is basically either "just place a reference plane with texture and manually scale every single texture comparing to that plane by eyeballing" or "idk bro I just select all my objects and unwrap them all together". This can't be serious right? This is very very far from something I would consider productive. Which is something like: a global setting to set texel density affecting all unwrap, uv and object operations, like 1m for 1024x1024, and then all unwraps take it into consideration and if any face of any object ever goes beyond 1m it will automatically get tiling of its texture. If it's less than 1m texture will not shrink to fit either. Is there anything like this?

Asset packs will focus more on environments and props since from my experience those are easy to make and generate more revenue
An asset pack i made 2 years ago and spend like 4 days on, has generated somewhere to 500usd so if we make a 1 asset pack weekly/biweekly i believe its going to work

Image to 3D generators
TripoSR test
Imo current tech progression is basically generating a theoretical 3D scan of your input image, everything else is just repackage old techs for smoke and mirrors. The output models have the same usage as 3Dscans.
It seems quite good for generating small prop for kitbashing

Anyway, I wonder if anybody got a successful set up for ComfyUI to run locally. I'm only able to get it to work by sending the image to TripoSR API, installed through ComfyUI-Manager, which is not local ( at least the output is good and it's currently free for now )

Feeling demoralised with topology
1729053985335832
My background is in graphic design and I went to art school so I thought this would be easy. The sculpting/modelling side of the hobby I love but getting "good topology" seems impossible for me. I just dont have a mathematical mind and I'll fuck up the topology half way through and then the edge flow is fucked up and I have to start again. It ruins the spontaneity and creativity of it for me. I dont really even care about animating at this point so does it even matter?

Honeslty Ive seen people with great models and insane creativity but theres always some snide fucking asshole talking about "check the n-gons, git gud at topology kiddo". Reminds me of being into music in college and how radio stations would reject demos because the mix was slightly off. It fucking pisses me off. I'm not getting paid for this, I just wanna make 3D stuff that I like. Should I just ignore it all and do it my own way?

While gen ai is already capable of creating high res models, textures and whole scenes, yall still clicking subdivide and sharing ur garbage on this barely alive forum. What strain of cope is it? Accept your fate, breathe out with relief and maybe go do something actually worthwhile, instead of committing to memory some soon to be absolete program's UI.

Would anyone have a guide or could point me in the right direction for creating/generating various textures (noise, normals, etc.)? Namely looking at things that are crystal/gem-like, and would like to eventually get them into a material editor like in Unreal.

Do low poly models like these (PSP/PS2) require sculpting first?
tina
I fuck around with low poly PS1 but the artistry in these models tell me that there's alot of planning involved.
What I think happens is that they sculpt these characters then bake the textures onto a retopologized low poly model. Similar to tracing over an existing model.
I ask because I want to get back into 3D modeling again for my own game but I'll only invest the time if it doesn't involve sculpting.

The truth is, AgX is good, its damn good, but any tonemapper or colorspace isn't going to make or break you when it comes to what really counts which is animation.

The truth is, there are avenues out there that AI art has been totally unable to crack.

The truth is, maya is just as necessary as houdini in VFX.

Some math.
4 Oct
Let's do math.

This model takes 4-5 hours to be finished and have 1 animation.

At 2 usd (my country wages) this means it cost basically 10 usd to make.

A 32x32 pixel art takes me 10 minutes to make.
So it boils down to 40 cents more or less to me.
After 25 sprites, the price is the same.

Making a new character would usually require a new texture, which would be 1 hour of work.

If we assume 8 directions walk cycle and idle cycle, at 4 frames each one.
Then is 8 * 4 frames being 32 sprites.

Therefore my styles is even cheaper than 32x32 pixel art.

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

I have never seen a "moving painting" that is not either obvious 2D or 3D but AI seems to be able to do it. How could this be leveraged to create an entire virtual environment that looks like a painting? Can you do gif related with just the right texture on a 3D model?

I want to make creepy, primitive-looking characters. Not monsters that are scary on purpose, just weirdly unpleasant things. My theory is if I design a bunch of characters with this look but have a much nicer, friendlier-looking player character in comparison, the game will stand out.

What's the secret to this delicate balance?

Commercialising your work
Screenshot 2024-10-10 131754
Can I get a QRD on platforms with best legal protections?
I look at cults and their commercial license looks fucking retarded (left of pic). Buyers are allowed to just print your shit and distribute themselves (with attribution)? Fuck that.
myminifactory has protections, but has a subscription fee for sellers and also exclusivity terms.
Should I post my free stuff on cults and paid stuff on MMF?
Or just abandon cults altogether despite the additional exposure stream?

Kickstarters? Patreon?
I hate the idea of being beholden to terminally online slobs, but the income stream is tempting and I realise the benefit of people not being fucked cancelling subs.

Lastly, if I avoid the whole patreon pandering shit, what is the best platform for people to support my work in one off tips? Don't say the buy me a coffee thing - it sounds stupid.

Serious question, how would you achieve this shape with this UV mapping without doing everything manually? I started by extruding from cube, formed this perimeter from extrusions, then added bevel and subdivision surface and eventually hit dead end when tried to generate UV map I wanted for that. Played around just with plain cubes and reached the conclusion that the main issue is that topologically I basically ask the top and bottom face to wrap in circle (and have a hole in it). Then I started from plane and grinded all the way by gradually subdiving and folding and wrapping it in rounded shape, while carefully checking UVs on each step and making adjustments when needed. This looks like a very basic shape and UV though, I have this feeling there really might be a way to do all this in like 10 seconds... Is there?

Is it fine to do lowpoly as you do highpoly just without subdivision? Do you need to care about good topology in lowpoly? Even if you don't need to care about topology since you don't subdivide, can you deliberately choose to care about topology and make lowpoly models subdivision friendly (this could be handy for additional static renders right)? Is there anything that actually requires you to produce subdivision-UNfriendly topology? Is it just a matter of saving like 5-15% of poly budget?
