Progress pic of bad anatomy / sculpting.

spoiler: you will never be good at either box modeling or sculpting

>>673204
That's definitely a possibility. When moving towards more artistic areas of CG there does seem to be a natural talent cap. However I'm sure with enough practice anyone can get to a reasonable level of competency.

Here's one of my hard surface models.

>>673149
tl;dr:
How do I know my graphics card is the culprit of a major catastrophe and not the CPU, memory, or mobo?

Try doing something basic like chrome with no graphics card and see if it fucks up again. If it does, it's probably the motherboard

>>673151
Chrome seems to work fine. I figured the game was an extreme, but in my past experiences, games just ran like ass, not full on glitchy.

>>673149
It would depend... If you actually have graphics integrated into your mobo then it is time for an upgrade. APUs (CPUs with integrated graphics chips) replaced mobo graphics like two decade ago. The only modern mobos with graphics chips are server boards and those chips struggle with even the most basic desktops; nevermind windows 10... Or gaming.

If you were actually referring to the integrated graphics of your CPU then you might need a new CPU. If the integrated graphics chip blew up then chances are there is some serious damage to the CPU as a whole... That said, CPUs are rare the original failure point. They are very, very robustly build pieces of hardware. If they break its usually because something else broke them and if something else broke them then something else is broken.

Now, if your CPU's integrated graphics is working fine for workloads that it is designed to handle then you might be safe... CPU integrated graphics use system ram. The weird flickering you experienced while trying to play your game might... MIGHT be caused by paging. If you have very little system ram and you try to load a lot of textures (like what happens while your playing a game) you're computer will start writing information in your ram to the computers harddrive. This is to free up system ram for active programs. However, if you push this feature too far it can swap vital information into the page file. This can result in very, very weird behavior.

Many programs running their graphics on a GPU will also use system ram if you cap out your GPU's graphics ram (this feature isn't universal though, some programs just crash). From what I understand, many 3D programs use this feature for obvious reasons (4k textures chew through graphics ram like warm butter). You may have even pushed your gpu to the point where it ate all your system ram as well; resulting in a vital bit of system memory being paged and crashing your computer.

CONT'D

>>673160
Nevermind, I really can't comment any more without knowing more about your exact hardware...

A couple suggestions though;
>don't.... DON'T plug your new graphics card into your computer until you know it isn't a hardware failure issue. It could very well fry the card and you're money will by lost; warranties don't cover damaged caused by the user's faulty hardware.
>if you have very limited resources on your computer try using a lighter OS. Ubuntu or Linux Mint are fairly easy to use, and they are a fraction of the resource hog that Windows 10 is. There are even ultra light options, but those take a lot of set up to use for anything other then graphical server management.
>if paging is the issue you'll want to buy a couple sticks of higher capacity ram. A lot of vidya games now will gobble up more than 8 gigs when running on an APU... Just buy some used ram off ebay, if money is an issue. Ram can break, but it is nearly as robust as your processor. Most people sell their ram on ebay because they just don't want it sitting in a drawer somewhere; not because its broken.

Since 2014 I believe. Assuming his earnings ramped up over time, if he's working alone how much more do you think that extra money does?

>>673136
Depends where you live and what sort of 3d work you want to do (character modelling, lighting, FX etc). You'll have to be more specific op

>>673188
It's per month, bro.

>>673200
Yes. And? If he's working alone, what do you think all the extra cash does?
If I was making furry porn I would work alone.

It's the same for any niche fetish with healthy online communities. There even used to be a pretty decent market for loli/shota a couple years ago, before moralfags sperged out, and began driving them off of tumblr, patreon, etc

>>673197
well according to your assertion, topology isn't made anymore and it's just an automated process so naturally no one would be able to "show their work," they would be showing an algorithm's work
in reality though it just sounds like you found out about zbrush and zbrush's retopology tool and conflated that with people not doing other forms of modeling

>>673108
That's only for those who can afford Zbrush, Idiot.

>>673096
Do people wank to figurines like those? Because I think I would.

>>673206
I don't quite understand though. If I sculpt a model of a dog to use in a game then have it retop'd by an algorithm, surely it won't be optimal for efficient deformation within a game.

That looks really good in a lot of parts, by the way. The wood grain is maybe a bit weird and really popping off to me, but the glass looks great and the stuffing on the chairs is good too, the little fold details really help to sell it. I don't know if you used a high focal length on that camera, which makes this perspective look a little funky, but overall I think it looks quite good.

>>673040
Looks pretty professional to me, the carpets look great, you nailed the materials on that, the sofa, bed, pillows and curtains. The lighting seems quite neutral and natural, which gives the whole scene a nice, serene mood.

Some stuff looks off, you forgot to soften the edges on that brick that's holding the lamp thing. I also couldn't help but to notice that the roof above the bed seems more polished than the walls... not sure if intentional or not. The whole little sofa assembly front and center just feels off. The materials seem extreme, the stuffing looks far too aged and worn out, the cup looks like it's made out of chrome instead of ceramic, and the plate looks extremely flat.

It's still a really nice scene in other places, and I like all the cloth simulations you've done.

just now learning blender

More like a bowl. Brimming with retardation.

>low poly [...]
classic excuse for losers
next thing you'll say everything you make is """stylized""" and not just plain wrong.

people who are actually skilled at low poly are professional painters.
it's much harder to get into with zero art background than you think.

A thread died for this.

Uh...Benis.

that is all. thank you.

Fuck that would be fun. A whole bunch of us sitting around modeling cocks and insulting each other solely based on what software is being used

And thus began another 200 post long blendlet vs. anti-blendlet "you clearly have no idea what you're talking about" flame war. Good job.

>>672910
I can't use an student Autodesk license for work, Autodesk does come after small companies for that.

I do already have some basic max and Maya knowledge, they are not foreign to me.
Last year if I had to swap, blender wasn't even on my radar. I had tried it before a few years ago. It was such a mess before 2.8 but now things actually seem to make sense.

I did look into modo but it's not good enough for architecture. It doesn't have a good alternative way to skp layout where as blender does.

Please understand that architecture =/= archvis. You may be able to sell a client an idea with a beautiful wacky design but good luck getting it built if it wasn't designed correctly from the ground up.

>>672921
>lease understand that architecture =/= archvis. You may be able to sell a client an idea with a beautiful wacky design but good luck getting it built if it wasn't designed correctly from the ground up.
then use CAD

>>672921
What >>672923 said. Use CAD. Blender is actively discouraged as a CAD solution. It has enough accuracy for artistic work, but not for engineering.

It's my understanding the standard for arch design is Revit, no?

>>672932
Revit is facing similar issues as SketchUp. It's stuck in the past.

Sorry you're untalented but 3D pipeline is really not that complicated this is even more true today with the wealth of free to low cost tools available and even more free to low cost training. Did you go get tricked into going to (the industry) school?

>>673261
My post had nothing to do with the low cost of tools, but more about your artistic and technical proficiency to execute ALL the steps of the pipeline in a proper, high quality manner.

Even great 3D generalists aren't truly "do it all" artists; some people and tasks are more technical, while others are more artistic. For instance, you wouldn't expect a great lighting/rendering artist to be as skillful in rigging/skinning, for obvious reasons.

The "know it all, good at everything" candidates often have the shittiest resumes out there, because they're over confident that they can do everything.. when it fact they can barely make one thing past a pajeet beginner level.

get on my level

>>672860
Anon that looks terrifying

>>672882
Like the other anon said, there are plenty of tutorials using edge extrude. Not only that, some artist who take illustrations and make 3d models out of them post videos using similar methods. Im assuming that the technique can actually be helpful and speedier than sculpt/retopo in some instances, but they are not as easy as they make it look and a lot can go wrong.

Thanks for the tips anon, I will give it a try and look for some cool artists around. Im just doing this in my spare time, but I would like doing things properly.

>>673190
oh you bet that's why I posted it. Although I used the heads for cel shading so the horrible anatomy isn't nearly as visible. For example this is what I made with the head 2nd farthest to the right. Head looks like shit but the right shaders make it somewhat forgivable

>>672847
>I'm having fun and want to get better
And that's good because that's how you get better. Make a bunch of crappy models and analyze on what you can do next time or watch a tutorial related to what you are struggling with- if you can't pinpoint on what to work on, you can always post your stuff on polycount or here (don't use reddit because its the biggest hugbox in the world).
Fun is very important in getting gud, build a habit/discipline of making sure you are having at least a bit of fun. There will be times where you want to kill yourself because making good art is difficult and you'll have trouble of feeling that 'fun' again; so be sure to analyze your insights on how and why you feel fun. You don't have to be a genius or write an essay, writing 1 line of note is better than nothing.

I watched it later.
