/3/ - 3DCG

WIP, obviously.

>>372058
I'm guessing sculpted? if so, how do you get the other meshes so close together and thin/detailed?
I would assume modeling the character+clothing first as standard/low poly then importing to zbrush/mudbox

I'm new to sculpting if you couldn't tell, so sorry for the probably painful question.

>>372058
Nice. Soooo whens the porn coming up ?

>>372060
Not the guy who posted that, but there are various ways in ZBrush.

1. You mask off an area on the mesh, and hit extract, to create a new piece in the shape of the mask and curvature of the object. You can set the thickness for it when you do this as well. Then you just Split>Unmasked and you now have a separate subtool to refine and sculpt that is already conforming to your character.

2. The topology brush, which will allow you to easily draw out a mesh on the surface, and then split that to its own subtool, thus giving you something with a bit better controlled topology for subdividing.

3. Just append a really low poly object, start shaping it, and increase its divisions as needed. That is the proper way to sculpt, by only bumping up resolution when you absolutely need to, you need to build forms progressively, from biggest to smallest.

>>372064
Thanks for that well-written post, I'll have to go play around. I'm not new to modeling, but barely touched sculpting, or looked up tutorials etc. just watching what /3/ posts, which is why I'm more interested in it now.

I have Maya/Mudbox, but I'm assuming the same methods apply. Will mess about tonight, thanks again for being helpful.

Made some trees with the edit normals modifier to spherify its form. 125 polys total

Still working on the Panzer, hope to have it completed by tomorrow, then its high poly/normal/texturing time

>>372103

Ooops, image didn't load for some reason

>>372085
Looking nice

>>372085
It's against the light, how do you expect us to criticize this?

>>372112
This is awesome. I don't know why games still use those ugly facet polygon mash that create those ugly backfaces.
>>372116
With backlighting it looks like translucent plants. Just showing different angles

>>372128

what exactly does the spherify modifier do? not familiar with (im assuming) max and thinking how i could reproduce this in c4d.

can you post some unrendered shots? how does the back look? shit looks awesome.

sage cause i dont even have any wips currently.

>>372134
Oh its not spherify modifier. Its a script that takes face normals from a mesh and apply it to another. So what you see the planes with irregular angles, it gives them a spherical normal direction. Don't know if theres a script for C4D though, but you can export the mesh with OBJ, and it will keep the modified normals.

Here's the script :
http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/normal-thief

it's far from done, but if you've spotted any fuck ups, please tell me.

>>372181
sucks balls. textures are stretched, lighting is wierd, there are color burns near shadows, stairs don't make sense, roof dont make sense windows are pitch black, door is gay, everything is shit.

good job

>>372183
>textures are stretched, lighting is wierd, there are color burns near shadows

I'm on it.

>>372138
this sounds cool.
I´m a bit confused though, does the script change the vertex normals of the object?
would love to see a short tut, like just a screenshot of master and target object in viewport to get an idea of how you did it

also are these screens rendered or real-time?

>>372188
They are rendered.

I don't wanna dick around with max to explain the entire process, since its a bit long, but ill list the steps.
----------------------
create a 1x1 plane with your plant texture on

then create any form (i use an elongated sphere since its close to the form of a tree). try keeping the polycount no more than a few thousand.

using PFsource, get your 1x1 plant planes multiply around the spherical mesh, I set the number around 200.

Then, select the 'mesher' modifier, pick PFsource object for the mesher,then collapse the PFsource planes into editable poly.(at this point your spherical mesh and PFsource mesh should be in the same position)

Give 'edit normals' modifier to both the collapsed PFsource mesh, and the spherical mesh.

Run the script, use the spherical mesh for master, and collapsed PFsource mesh for target.

Apply.

Fin.

I get to remap the UVs, remake the texture from scratch, and repaint all the bone weights to fix this shit right here.

YEAH

I know, first rig ever made have to do it again but waiting for Cryengine Sdk stuff to come back online

>>373390
briddy sure it has to do with how you uved and not rigged

apparently the other thread wont bump any more, so ill just repost replies here

>>373219
i really don't think we had games like that... the worst one i can remember is alone in the dark, and they put more thought into the design than that.

its hard to put what i mean into words, but low poly isn't about making it look like crap and retro, its about liking that style. you don't chase after the horrible examples from low budget ps1 games, you do it from good examples.

this looks like something from a shitty ps1 cash in game, or a game where you were never meant to get so close to see the details so the model didn't matter to much.

>>373276
>>373277
>>373283

you made the muscles lumpy...
you are crossing human and shark, so some amount of artistic license needs to happen, but the human body doesn't just lump out like that.

it goes from smooth without definition, smooth with definition, smooth with veins, and heavy fucking definition.

this honestly looked better smooth, now look at the fin, sure its not perfectly smooth in real life, but even when it isnt, you can only see its not smooth under extreme gloss.

just saying, smooth was better, learn how the mussels would be laid, instead of make everything lumpy.

Low poly count, stylized, no video game shit, raw... /3/ must hate it.

>>373386
Easy as pie. Us the agent file for the rig under tools. Skin it with cryskin like you would witht skin modifier and you are good to go. Export it, import it, load the animations for the rig aaaand done.

Also your mapping on the crotch is messed up.

>>373401
If you can, try and make it look like it was made out of paper. That'll look cool.

I feel i'm so fucking slow. How much time do you guys take to make a full character?

Pic related, should have finished it 2 days ago. Not even close.

>>373688
Something like that should of been able to be done in a regular 8 hour work day... The bulk of the work done within the first two hours.

>>373692
Damn, i'm still learning Zbrush, i actually do make the bulk in like two hours, but i spend too much time going back and forth when it comes to doing final results.

Gotta speed up then. Thanks.

>>373688

It would have been faster if you had used a 3d package that is more suited for hard-edge workflows ie max, maya

Hey guys I've got a problem here with the hair particles in blender. As you can see, in material mode it acts like hair is growing from her tits for some bizarre reason but in object mode it's behaving fine and is completely ignoring the titty hair. I don't have this problem when it isn't being subdivided but but want to keep the subdivision how it is to make shape keys easier. Can I just cut down the stupid titty hair and ignore it or will it affect the final product?

Also if you'd like to criticise my model so far I'd appreciate it. I know the hands are pretty shitty right now.

>>373940
Do you have any unapplied modifiers that could have rearranged the vertex order?

Anyway, crits:

The neck is dreck.
The breasts should flow into the outer pectoral folds more smoothly.
Waist to hip ratio is plain bizarre.
The mouth is unflattering.
Armpits aren't even there.
The thumb should be an extrusion normal to the palm, not tangent to it.

that's about all I can see here

Tell me, why is this the "best" animation package again? Not even Blender has such an asstarded rigging system.

.

this-software

>>374071
It's only the best because of its historical extensibility and people/studios writing their own rigging tools, it's really pretty shit by itself, in almost every aspect. I would just use IKinema in Maya, that's also the solver modo uses. It's sweet as hell and easy to use

>>374071

muh animashuns

Blender is fucking based when it comes to animating for vidya.

>>374254
I jumped in the thread because I happened to read this sentence of yours.
How exactly do you animate a rigged model? I am assuming not through keycrame because I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make the animation look natural.
I am also aiming to make vidya animation but I have zero idea of starting point. Can you help me please?

Slowly making my way through the eat3D hard surface techniques DVD, it is no way quick.

>>374260
There is no other way than keyframes. (well, you can tweak the curves after to fix things but a curve point is still a key)
I do almost everything in the dope sheet with auto keying on.

When I started out, I planned my animations in 2D beforehand to get a good grip on gesture curves. (the idea is that the poses should follow one curved line, and the line itself should be enough to read the animation's intent)
Other than that, it's pure theory and looking at reference.
Oh, and don't use IK for arms unless you absolutely need to. FK is much more natural.

Panzer now with based texture and some normals done, however for some strange reason the normals on the tread covers refract the light strangely

>>374263
IK is vital if your hand is fixed to a surface but yeah, FK is more natural.

>>374251

>>374179

Nigger, this shit is heavy as fuck, I like it.

>implying

How do I apply something regular in ZBrush? Say I have an insert brush, how do I apply it regularly across a grid, or in a circle? And how do I make a surface get a regular deformation by applying the same brushstroke in a pattern? I already know about NoiseMaker but I mean something with more drastic effect, not just a surface pattern.

About 20 mins in. But it is almost 8am so I am gona hit the bed.

>still corners too sharp. Are working under a poly budget or what?

No, its just that maya isn't really rendering the bevels well with the textures applied.

But I'm about to go redo the AO bake again so I'm hoping it will take some of the /b/ level edgyness from it

had to make it more cartoony, bout to texture this shit.

I'm installing Softimage and Lightwave, wish me luck. I'm sick of Maya, and modo is all buggy and shit and crashes every 5 minutes, plus the render tree sucks. What should I expect, are those more suitable for a one person workflow? I'm trying Lightwave because Umemaro uses it.

>>374551
I'm dedicated is all.

>>374598
Yeah thanks I already uninstalled Lightwave, it was the worst piece of shit I've ever seen. Softimage seems good so far but the UI looks like some sort of Fischer-Price toy. I'm not sure if Softimage can bring anything to the table that Maya can't

>>374600
>Softimage

is this some kind of joke?

>>374601
Then why does it even exist? It costs the same as Maya. I've barely used it yet. I'm jumping into Houdini because it gave a better first impression.

>mfw I suck at texturing
>mfw ddo makes better looking textures in 30 seconds
Fuck.

>>374601
softimage is objectively the best of them. you'll understand when you see a real pro work in pixar or weta, not just the grunts. it's the creme brule of them all.

>>374608
hahahahah yeah you do suck. you could always kill yourself if that helps.

>>374610
I might just do that m80 but first I'm gonna make you suck my dick, faggot.

Worked a week on this workflow to get this result.

>Bought FStretch2 for $150 and simplified my wrinkle game significantly. Plugging the vertexcolors it gives as a primvar into renderman studio.

Before, I was manually splitting up 5 maps (minimum) and using set driven key to trigger them. This caused all sorts of discontinuties around each map because...they were 5 separate maps.

Now, I just need one map, and it flows into each section and its adjustable in the node which is far better than the other free options like SOuP.

>Ive finally found wrinkle heaven :)

>>374623
Just recently, maybe a month or two ago, someone here bought fStretch and said that it's a piece of shit

>>374628
ur sick xO

Now I can't even begin to imagine why Lightwave would be in the OP. It's the unfriendliest program I've ever used, everything is just a grey blob of text, I guess it's like the tracker of the 3D world

>>374625
Strange b/c theres no other node like it in maya.

>>374640
I know. The guy said he had $200 to blow on a Maya plugin that you can't pirate, so I told him to get fStretch because it looked good. He came back saying that it's shit, outdated documentation, way too much work to set up anything usable

>>374648
Thats kind of true. I had to make my own workflow thats not in the manual to work with prman. Its a lot better and more dynamic than the official way, since you use vertex colorset instead of baking out maps per frame with a vertexcolor2texture tool.

Pretty rough render of my call agent dude.

>>374623
The result was definitely not worth the money you paid.

>>374623
>he's still at it
Why do you even post here still when everyone is just gonna keep attacking your stupid choices? Seriously, why not go on go on CG Society if you're so proud of your work?

You probably aren't proud of your work, and that's why you buy these things thinking they'll magically make your BadKing model that you downloaded, look better.

I don't think he's here to give valid critique. Just try to shoot down everyone for laughs. Personally I think the textures start to fade out near the front but that might not matter a hole bunch. Slap some color on it already! You can already tell the textures between the scales and insides are different, but it would be nice to really see the change.

The form is okay, I'd just enlarge the eyes personally.
The only thing is it looks like smallpox instead of dinosaur scales.

>>374840
those quotes arent me, check the ip. That dino is straight shit, anyone with eyes can see that. If you say its not terrible - why isnt it terrible? Whats good about it? Its the worst serious dino ive seen online, ever.

>>374841
First time properly attempting alphas for scales, I agree for the most part haha

>>374844
Ah yeah, I will go over it without mirror in the future. Thanks for pointing that out.

You can say it sucks all you want but if you can't explain why then your words are pointless

>>374843
?? This is far below entry level standard. Learn to accept criticism or you wont get very far at all in this industry. You want a good 3d dino, do a google search. Theres nothing good about this.

>>374847

>>374847
Looks like someone still needs to touch up their trolling technique a bit.
2/10

>>374852
Accept criticism, or youre going to be defending your pile of shit for no reason. Whoever made that dino needs to start again.

>>374853
They aren't defending my dino, they are assaulting your credibility. But anyway I must go now and do some teeth for my horrible dinosaur.

>>374853
I gave you two points for figuring out the basics of making others angry and actually trying. Don't disappoint me by demonstrating that you are incapable of learning from your mistakes.

>>372057
Rolling for gf.

>>372057
Yes, I have been working


WHICH IS IT?

I've given up on learning something other than Maya, it's like none of the other programs even attempt to make any sense at all, except Houdini

>>374863
>cant even figure out zbrush
>going far

>>374071
orienting joints in maya is easy as fuck.

>>374864
I already know and use ZBrush, I mean like a normal 3D suite that is in competition with Maya

Today has been an educational day.

I have yet to add the sideburns, tophat, assorted suit details, monocle, cane and gloves. I think I'll aim at sub-1K tris for the finished model.

Time to relax in zBrush before I kill myself.

>>374827
Don't you give me that look, dog

>>374855
>I'm not the troll, everyone else is
?????????????

>>374886
Now that's better. Oh, look at the time, I got some modeling to do. Keep up the good work while I'm gone, /3/ definitely needs more trolls.

>>374795
if it is that person, he isn't that wrong on everything he said... though he is being a dick about it

>>373401
>>374122

Don't listen to the haters, this is fucking awesome. I'm new to /3/, (/b/tard here)..never even noticed there were other sections of 4Chan in my 2years of lurking that were meaningful to look at with all the shit /b/ delivered to me on a daily basis.

I've decided to let go of /b/ and move on since it's my Senior year & /b/ sort of made me procrastinate through Jr year. I'm looking forward to finishing learning HTML then move on to Java and so on. Looking to create an MMo for Android/iOS when I go off to college next year.

Could you give me any tips on 3D modeling?

>>374923
my point exactly.

>>375015
How does this render look?

>>375015
>>375016
Eyes are still way too small. Bumps look good, but kinda off. Maybe too even, too many small bumps. Also put some texture on those teeth. This guy is crushing bone with them and doesn't have arms long enough to brush.

>>375023
Haha, will do! Thanks for the feedback.

>>375016
use more colours in the skin. make the tongue/gums redder. make the teeth sharper

>>374596
That'd be cool and I do have what I think is a snazzy business idea, but that's not the point of this particular model.

Actually the point of this model is to distract me from another project I'm having trouble with that really could be monetized.

>>375057
I have several models distracting me from each other, half of which could potentially lead me to money. I know the pain.

and then I wind up spending a day on the sims 3 and I hate myself

Low poly Portal turret wip.
Thoughts?

>>375070
It looks kinda awful.
Not really low poly at all.
Too square, too.

>>375084
Alright, into the trash it goes. Onto next project

>>375093

retard

>>375095
why?

>>375097
Probably for trashing it instead of trying to fix it.
He might be wrong or right about it.
Either way, look at all those edge loops. There are so many you don't need if you're going to make it "low poly". And look at the 4 edge loop from the top, especially in the top-right/bottom right images. It's changing the shape of the turret for the worse.

>>375100
Well, I didn't spend to much time on it to begin with. I thought that maybe it would be more productive to start on another project rather than wasting my time on something that's going to go be forgotten in a week anyway.

>>375101
Maybe you're right, Milhouse. But what if the same could be said of the next project? And the next and the next? And then all projects?
What's the point?

How do I improve this ear?

>>375114
Take the move tool, now stay at this view, and keep on grabbing and smoothing every bump until the curvature of the ear is perfect, no bumps, all curves
move to the side and top view and reapeat

>>374833
You definitely need to work on the eyes, they lack quality and coherence. It just looks like someone stabbed a hole in the mesh and shoved an eyeball in there.

>>375114
de-pointify dem lobes

Liquid crap brushed up with Vray

>>375015
put the comparisons side by side, not vertically, it makes it easier to compare.

>>375016
still has the mirroring issues. i would fix them before showing us more renders because after the first guy pointed them out, they stick out like a sore thumb.

>>375015
Dino looks stoned.

>>375231
they didn't have much to do back in the old days, besides throwing cannabis onto lava flows.

Still dicking about in zbrush.

Fulton MX991/U military torch. Finished last week, just not sure what to do with it. Thinking of putting up for free download.

Dimensions should be nearly 100% accurate.

Swiss Army Lantern, speedmodeled/textured in 10 mins.

Wireframe plz.

>>375290
>>375291

you should offer to make some models for stuff for DayZ. That torch and other small camping/hunting/military gear are the kind of things they're going to need.

Is that a fuckin' Hussar Brain-In-A-Jar Robot?
That shit is fuckin' cool, yo.

>>375313
fuck yeah kurwa

but why are the letters russian?

>>375304
It's nothing special, just a very low poly simple flashlight. The Fulton on the other hand is a bit more complex.

>>375306
Do you think they'd really use it?. I'd love to model "equipment" and tools, it'd be a nice change from just guns.

>>375328
Poland invaded and assimilated most of the russian land in 2157, and most russian culture was assimilated quickly, along with russian people. Russian language was better for describing technical things. Thats why.

Also, i like that font.

FN FAL, incomplete. For /k/s EDN game.

a 1st grader could model a 3d gun. You are all fail at life. kill yourselves.

>>374809
I know the feel. I make zBrush sculpts that apparently wowed my classmates, though I feel like it's not my best work. Can't retopologize into a lowpoly for shit.

zResmesher, you spoil me oh too much.

>>375114
Use the pinch tool to get some harder looking edges. It'll also thin out your edges a bit.

>>375334
Geez man. I'm trying to do a gun too but I'm no where near that level of detail. Shit mang. Nice work.

What do we have more models of on /3/? Guns or tits?

>>375397
gun tits

>>375392
Looks alright so far, you could benefit it by stretching it on the axis that front and rear of the gun are parallel to. Detail looks complex to add at first but it's really just a few small shapes added to the mix. Also you can squeeze in a lot of detail via the diffuse and normalmaps.

>>375402

How do you make great looking foliage like this?

I'm new at 3D so the only way I figured out how on my own is just to get plant textures and make everything but the leaves transparent, slap the texture on a plane, and stack them up.

Tutorial anywhere maybe?

>>375437
Here's the process m8

>>372199

Reworked my technique, and got this result after 10 minutes. This ones going on my _reel_.

>>375448
neat and very dynamic, but the folds on the nose should appear on idle pose, and not when he raises his eyebrows

>>375441
i liek you are stuff

>>375448
Still looks like trash, not gonna impress anyone.

>>375450
thanckxs c:

>>375449
Thanks, will work on it for the next time

Decided to put something on the arms.
Squeezing it into the existing UVs was one hell of an exercise, but it worked out in the end.

>>375458
And a less dramatic shot in which you can actually see shit.
Haven't textured them yet obviously.

>>375448
Why does the nose wrinkle up when he pulls the eyebrows up? wat.

>>375448
I should have keyed a setting on the node when that happened, but i didnt.

finished i think

UR SICK :O

I say don't give her any armor.

Wupp wupp some structural

i've no idea how to replicate the lighting in this photo and what lights to use in 3ds max, photometric or omni ?
whats a good place to start? , will reply with wireframe

>>375537

>>375448
Those wrinkles shouldn't appear out of nowhere. They should just be softer when relaxed.

captcha: out ofyikes

base materials down. meh

Still zbrushing.

/k/ is still doing their game?
How can I contribute?

>>375441
How do you do these? Could you show wireframe for it?
These look so fucking amazing for such low poly. I must know your technique.

>>375623
These are all simple planes, he's just transferring vertex normals from the ground to the foliage, resulting in nice and smooth shading.

Autosage?
