Learn Webdev, you would actually get paid.
Nobody would pay for, as you phrased it, doing "3D modelling (no sculpting)".
3D modelling withouth sculpting is like baby steps and even if you get paid for it it would not pay your coffee.
There's no such thing as "3D modelling (no sculpting)".
Because even teens can do that and nobody would pay you for it. They would just have their interns do it.

Do you even know the basics of programming? Like what's and integer and pointer is?
If not follow this guide.
Learn Javascript and Python. If that turns out to be easy for you learn Java and C++. If it's too hard, just google "Full Stack Development Tools/Toolset". And train whatever's in there.

Start a server on your pc, write some backend and frontend code, learn how things work on internet(HTML, HTTP, POST, CSS, JS etc.). Then branch out from this very very basic starting point.

Webdev is very easy to learn if you have a basic understanding of programming such as C C++ Java C# etc.
If not, then you might struggle, but it's way better than "3D modelling (no sculpting)", which is not a real thing.

thanks, I guess I will just learn 3D modelling (no sculpting) as a hobby

>>726051
well, actually, it depends on what you're passionate about. Dont do something because its easy over the alternative.

>>726055
I need money and I need food. I am interested in both (webdev and 3DCG) but I don't want to fool myself taking a path that is not profitable.

Hobbies are ok.

>>726009
So Javascript vs 3D Modelling?
Javascript

if you have to ask, you're clearly not experienced enough to set one up.

>>726006
You tell me

>>726007
>>726018
the budget

>>726006
No budget: SheepIt
Low budget: Buy some shit and set it up yourself, google how to do it for your particular software (it generally requires third party shit / addons / whatever)
Flexible Budget: AWS, lets you spend a set amount based on a sort of spot pirce for CPU or GPU utilization (even though 1 GPU is "faster" it can be cheaper and faster to use 100 CPUs)

>>726025
What if I wanted to own the equipment and run it in a place and way that'll attract all the right talent?

max being in heavy use in architecture modelling has had Bevel Profile tool for a while. Didn't watch your video but I imagine it's something quite similar.

I wonder if OP is asking genuinely or just trying to shill Blender with another OMFGTHEINDUSTRYSTANDARDISDOOMED-level feature. The fact that he's asking for two programs is what makes me suspicious.

>>726050
Obsessed.

>>726050
>what makes me suspicious.
There's a world outside of this board.
I'm recommend checking it out for both sides, industry standard and blender freaks alike.

>>725996
The principle advantage of sculpting is that it is relatively fast and you can concentrate on concepting and do not have to think to much about technical aspects like topology.
Separating form from topology is easier on the brain. Especially if you use tools like WRAP3 in conjunction.

>They all look like 3D sculpts and not like 2D anime girls.
Probably because the people used standard shaders instead of cell shading and outlines.

>>725996
A lot of things are involved to get it right. The way you create the models is just a fraction.

>>725996
Trying to make a figurine? Use Zbrush. If you're trying to do anything else and you have more than one brain cell then another application will get you much further.

>>725996
Drawing is the ONLY way to make anime girls. Even the most modern techniques are complicated as fuck and look wonky in comparision.

>>725996
>if all the best anime girls ever made were made using traditional vertex modelling?

post MMD and I laugh at you

>>725991
Wow that looks great, when I look into the distance it actually makes me dizzy and registers headache. Nice going with shitty pixel graphics.

>>725990
just keep in mind how topology affects animation, optimize UVs, hand paint textures and keep within budget
it's really that simple, though getting assets into the engines may not be

study the topology of the models you want to emulate. check out polycount's low poly thread
there's plenty of old odds and ends about old techniques and methods for getting good looking models at a low triangle count
Paul Steed's "Thinking Outside of the Box" series as well as PDFs of his books are archived online and one of his colleagues detailed some of his tricks

>>726036
Sensitive little bitch.

>>725990
quake models didnt use bones, they had to individually model each frame. if you look at texture maps for say, the ogre its fucking simple front, back and chainsaw.

>dusk inspired retro flavoured
now here's a question. why don't you just use dusk? it has an sdk. you can just make a total conversion. why spend all that time making something that only 20 people are actually
interested in?

there are enough games that 'pay homage' to 90's fps we should start calling fps's 'doom clones'

tl;dr try making something less generic.

>>726028

we already have a questions thread, properly made with the title in the subject and everything

lol op btfo saged

yeah i have a question, why are u so gey?

>>725978

there will be no need for artists in the future, you will just throw some description of what you want and AI will shit out ton of examples and you will pick the ones you want, repeat that and you will end up with a complete CGI movie done in one evening

>>725941

>1000x faster

lol

>HEY GUYS CHECK OUT THIS CUBE I MADE IN HOUDINI

>shows 476 nodes connected in a massive spaghetti network

houdini is robust, but its not easy or intuitive. its not going to go away, but its also not going to magically replace all other DCCs

>>725978


Tech artists, anon

>>725986
Artists can never be replaced.

There are much worse active threads right now you novices

>>725905

If you care that much make sure to go to page 10 and post in important threads.
Ones falling off the board are where no one has commented or are yet another blender shitpost.

kill yourself commie

>>725868

Could you use a 2d plane and use something like ndo.

>>725868
do it in paint.net, or gimp, or krita or whatever the fuck you use for texturing. its not that hard

>background layer has texture
>top texture has black rectangles, no anti-aliasing
>from your light source paint in the side that's lit.
> set the blend mode to something else. like overlay
> blur the rectangles slightly to make it less smooth.

if you want drop shadows, make separate layer and use direction blur or something similar.

Go learn some fundamentals.

don't immediately jump into nsfw, start with something basic. it's tougher to learn things when cooming infinitely.

>>725869
no i just want to model characters i have drawn from 2d to 3d i wanna learn form shape

OP is probably a Nintendo fanboy and is mad because of that. See how he is just complaining about the Switch emulator and not about any other emulator for current(or last gen) consoles.

>>725787
Business Software Alliance estimated that generalized software piracy costs the world $51 billion annually and half a million jobs.

>>725789
Because you can't emulate the xbox x or ps4
almost as if all the emulators and pirates are trying to ruin Nintendo. Really makes you think huh

>>725791
Emulation is typically very costly as you run a virtual simulation of the hardware on your machine.

Emulating a powerful consoles like the PS4 on a current day home computer would not be very useful since we don't have enough powerful hardware to successfully do so.

Thing to realize tho is that if you own a computer powerful enough to virtulize a Nintendo Switch you're probably a gamer enthusiast.
If you are a member of the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race you are likly gonna be playing Master Race titles on your powerful PC.
Not console peasent titles, and if you're somehow still interested in those you prob already own the real thing anyways.

>>725790
The way such organizations count to arrive at those numbers is fraudulent in the extreme.
Often times they just look at every download and convert that number into lost revenue.
Problem is that currency doesn't actually exist.

If a Mexican kid with an annual income of less than $1000 pirate movies, games and software worth $10000 that is not any lost revenue.

>>725794
This; I would swiftly navigate to alternative content, if I found out one day that the content I like doesn't live up to my piracy standards.
At least, this way you get exposure, promotion, etcetera.
I've boycotted many times before, and I'll do it again. And, even if I don't represent the majority, I'm certain pirates don't either.
I don't pirate as much as I used to, because in my adult life I can't afford to turn my computer into a potential botnet; but I'll gladly switch from Photoshop to Krita for my personal use, and Adobe can fuck right off.

Did I do good?

>>725719
Setting up a small green screen on a staircase, isolating the subject. Film whatever you intent to film. Then do 3d tracking on the footage to get the camera movement. Export into 3D software of your choice. Rebuild your staircase/background. Texture it with the appropriate textures from MC. Match the lighting to look like it does in the game. Render to sequence. Don't forget to grab the smoke sprites from game and do an element/pass for the particles. The rest is a job for whatever composition tool you use. Easy peasy, but I don't see the point. Is this what zoomers consider entertainment?

>>725725
PS: if you're retarded and don't value your time, isolate the subject from some other existing footage.

>>725725

Just trying to understand the concept for future projects. So do they do compositing and camera tracking in blender to achieve the effect?

>>725727
No idea, never used blender. I use Mocha and PFTrack for tracking(depending on shot/situation) and Fusion for compositing.

>>725727
I doubt they used blender. After affects, C4D and other special effects programs can manage their own 3D models.
