/3/ - 3DCG

Made this low-poly Aventador. I'm rendering it in KeyShot

>>474678
also wondering about the faded blue color on the roof. Why is it there?

Wrapping up the texture work on an outhouse, had to bring it up to the standard of the schoolhouse textures.

working on a stylized spooky mansion interior for our game

lot's of tweaking still needed and then have to cut it up and make the joints

>>474686
Nice, can you show the wires?

>>474687
maybe its the perspective, but the body seems a bit short in comparison to the head. Other than that it looks cool! love the colors

>>474687
The face reminds me of the robot from Matriculated in The Animatrix, good stuff.

>>474607
Currently I'm just following a tutorial from the sticky on doing a whole character.

P-pls no h8 its my first work

I think as a noobtard I should have started with something less complex, because I fucked topology from the start and it came to bite my ass later on.

>>474688
sure, the previous pic was from unity, this one is in maya.

Im still struggling, finding the right design for a stylized door frame. The ones I have made are quiet boring.. I dont know..If anyone has any suggestions, it could help

>>474694
Perhaps you could pick something up from Luigi's Mansion?

>>474694
what's going on here?

>>474697
yeah.. I still have to fix the banisters. Like other things. But first I try to blockout the basic stuff for the room so that I can to check if everything fits together.

>>474694
You could do something similar to the window frame and make the top wider than the bottom, and tilt it somewhat.

>>474689
yeah i upped the perspective just for fun
>>474690
thanks, it isn't my design : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCHM1do5Vqw

>>474693
Can we see a front/perspective view?

>>474678
how did you manage to fuck up a keyshot render. its designed to make everything look awesome.

>>474708
Sure

>>474714
It could be a lot worse, but you have some clear proportion issues here as I'm sure you know.

>>474715
ofc, and it still needs work but I don't expect it to be great, I'm just in the boat to learn the basic techniques and then go deeper

>>474684
2dark4me

Been WIP for a year
Its fair to say its got another year to go

>>474739
jesus does max not have VP AA/AO?

>>474741
Well its just a working render with basic shading. I could have taken 10 minutes to crank out a mental ray render, but print screen was faster

>>474739
How they fuck did this take you a year and you are not even finished?

>>474745
Its a side project m8, a hobby

>>474745
Its a side project m8. A hobby.
There's also an entire half of the model you arent seeing.

>>474747
Well, I hope you aren't creating these details by hand

>>474743
i'm not talking about renders Vp = viewport. Maya has VP 2.0 which lets you toggle AA/AO/motionblur in the viewport. Doesn't Max have the same?
Can we get a closer shot of one of the thrusters and detail around em?

>>474749
Ive never actually messed with any viewport rendering, i never saw a point with the stuff i do. That said, here's some AO with a scene light. Didnt see an option for AA, but apparently I can force that through Nvidia control.
A lot of this is done with template and copy/past with some greeble thrown in as a place holder.

>>474748
well im certainly not going to greeble it all. thats pussy shit.

like a hobitton

>>474751
>greeble
I don't know what that means, but if you know anything about how they created the models for the original trilogy is, you'd know that they just bought a bunch of (mostly WW II) model kits and kitbashed the detail on those bitches

>>474741
It does but its pretty buggy plus it kinda gets in the way/annoying sometimes so most people turn it off

>>474753
That is greeble and he's saying that's for wusses.

>>474753
Pic related features some greeble. Its an easy button for detail, basically. Useful as a filler imo
>but if you know anything about how they created the models for the original trilogy is
I know quite aware how the set pieces for the original trilogy were thrown together. Have you ever heard of a thing called 'artistic freedom'?
Poetically enough, this is actually a kitbash of quite a few other separate models ive done that had nothing to do with this project
>>474754
i agree, im definitely turning HW shading off when i get back to work

>>474754
I was more interested in the AA than the AO since jaggies on so much detail look terrible. and since the model has simple shaders there's no point rendering if you can just screenshot with AA/AO in the VP.

>>474719
better image

>>474762
Nice

updated.
It looks too clean to be Hagrid's hut. Hopefully when I learn to UV unwrap and paint nice textures I can make it a bit more shabby looking.

>>474786
the ground has way more density than the house.That should be reversed. Also the block support under the front door has pointless divisions.
Idk about max, but in Maya you could unwrap that with a few clicks after setting the seams.

>>474788
Hey. Yeah I don't like the way the ground slopes so much so I'm changing that anyway. As for the supports, they aren't finished. I just put those there as boxes for a rough idea of how it would look. They aren't going to be square blocks, I'm going to add noise to them and make them look like rocks.

>>474790
i think blocks would look better and more realistic, just give them some wear around the sides with a normal map and maybe a bevel. You definitely don't need that many divisions.
I don't think anybody would use random rocks to support their house.

>>474791
B-b-but they're MAGIC rocks.

>>474791
>>I don’t think anybody would use random rocks to support their house.

Sure they would, but you would still tool them by hand first. This is an old grist mill with such a foundation- the schoolhouse my grandmother lives in was built in 1894, and it has a stacked limestone foundation around the whole perimeter with stacked limestone support pillars all under the house, with wood beams and a brick building on top.

>>474711
hurr durr post something you've done and then we'll talk fucknugget

>>474797
is it really necessary. can you not tell it looks pants?

its too bright, you cant see the contours of the car,
use the right environment to show off the reflective surfaces of the car.

use a bg plate, hdr studio works great with keyshot as you can place lamps exactly where they look best.

Low poly UZI

>>474799
Thank you for the advice!
But I'm going to call it done with this final render.
Want to move on to something else

he is actually sortof deforming correctly!!! EUREKA!

>>474812
model is great.
specularity is too wide.
but if you tighten it up it would look sick in an fps.

although i'm sure if you intend it for an fps you'll tighten the spec in the engine's shaders itself.
good job.

>>474817
I downloaded a sketch up lambo similar in simplicity to yours.
apart from those 2 black errors.
didn't use the hdr plugin,
just added some materials, backplate, env hdr. vignete, adjusted lens, turned reflected floor on.

its not great but im just showing you, you can present it better.

>>474838
his render looks like a n64 racer.

>>474838
This looks waaaay shitier than >>474817

>>474838
It's not supposed to be a realistic render. If I wanted thay I wouldn't have made a low-poly toy car lamborghini

>>474934
welp. Its not toon rendered, and its not "stylized", so its obviously going for realism since it has reflections, vignetting, chromatic aberrations

>>474817
If you're going for stylised you'd be better off with cel shadows. If the tyres have reflection why don't the windows? matte finish windows look strange.

>>474935
What are you talking about? I made this>>474817

But you did make a low poly lambo
>>474678
to quote yourself
>this low-poly Aventador

>>474678
this certainly isn't trying to be a stylised render. its just a poor render full stop.

>>474838
was pointing out its not hard to make things look decent in keyshot.

>>474934
now youre just using the its not shit, its my style - stylised argument.

Bridge guy here again.

I swear this job has no freaking end. Every time I think I'm done they ask me if I can do another bridge. Obviously I can't say no to paid work so here we go. Got two more coming up after this too...

This one looks like a mess but I swear this is what the actual bridge looks like. It's got an insane amount of struts and supports going everywhere. Very simple modeling actually, the hardest part is just figuring out what needs to go where since I only have pictures to work off.

>>474960
Just your average babby level bridge you can make in 30 min or find on turbosquid in 2.

>>474961
Well I hope you feel better now. Are you the same guy from last time? Why are you so angry? What is going wrong in your life? Tell us, please. Maybe we can help.

>>474962
>Ad hominem

>>474960

>>474963
I wasn't attacking you, I only wished to help. Why are you getting defensive? Do you feel threatened by human compassion? I sense something is troubling you, please, share your sorrows and let us offer support.

>>474966
>avoiding

>>474967
Avoidig what? As you have pointed out repeatedly, I am worthless as 3D Artist, everything I do can be done by "babbys" and you can do the same in thirty minutes. Fine, I'm a piece of shit, I have no skill whatsoever, you are absolutely right, I'm not avoiding anything. Are you satisfied?

Can we talk about you now?

>>474968
Welp. You don't handle criticism well, do you?

>>474969
Why? I gladly accepted everything you said. What else do you want? What was the goal of your initial comment?

>>474970
Just take criticism and move on, no need for a big gay song and dance.

>>474971
Your life really must suck.

>>474960
Beautiful, as always. Keep up the good work.

Man, this just seems so pointless. I'm thinking I should just focus on learning zbrush and retopology.

I honestly don't get why some one is shiting on bridge guy

>>474960
I fucking love your bridges, man.

>>474978
preaty much until some glorious godly genius out there creats a re topology tool

>>474978
oh god

>>474960
I love those vertigo towers at the top.
Man I wish this was a call of duty or counterstrike map. So simple, yet so effective.

>>474978
well your problem was that you jumped the gun and added tons of edge rings just to shape the nose super smoothly. The point of box modelling is to shape the mesh such that it looks the way you want after smoothing it.

>>474961
But that is just plain false. Are you detail-blind, or just trolling?

>>475021
not him but to be fair, it does seem like a lot of array repetitive parts.

>>475023
Bridge guy here. Well I never claimed it was anything special. I even said myself that it's simple modeling. All I'm doing is showing what I'm working on.

Plus that's simply what the bridge looks like. I'm not making these up, they're actual bridges.

>>475025
Part of what makes these look nice are your renders- how are you lighting it, it’s a nice kind dawn lighting.

>Alito - 0.1 polygons per hour.

How can you move this slow yet bring yourself to move at all? It's like there shouldn't be enough forward force to overcome the momentum to set you in rolling in the first place.
How long has it been thus far? like a year and a half?

i'm a newbie on 3d and decided to start making a sword. Working on a solution for the black spot on the pommel. R8

>>475122
the "black spot" is because the edge around the top of the cylinder that makes the pmomel has soft normals, or at least that is what it looks like.
I would use a higher res texture for the detail on the hilt, and darken the blade / make it more reflective. A normal map would help make the grip, too.
Oh, also there appears to be a some hard normals at the tip of the blade.

>>475122
Screen shot your UV’s for the sword, But I am willing to bet the UV islands for the pommel are not in the 1:1 area for the map and are picking up the black from wrapping around.

>tfw you want to model something but you know youre shit and will fail and be disappointed so wahts the point in starting.

what do y'all think

>>475129
And this attitude it why you will always be shit. We were all shit at one point. Tell that asshole in your head to fuck off and get to work.

>>475129
I'm not saying I'm hot shit, but my first attempt at a 'train' was pig disgusting.

I tried to make it all from one square, etc. I remade it, remade it again, and now on mk.5 it looks like a real life train. I used pictures to model from, i drew things to get a sense of how they formed before I modelled them. People underestimate drawing; it should be in every 3D artists wheelhouse.

>>475133
mk.5

Never give up man, keep making shit; eventually, because you keep making /better/ shit each time, you realize only you think its shit, and you've reached 'good' levels. Then you keep getting better

>>475133
>>475134
>>Never give up man, keep making shit; eventually, because you keep making /better/ shit each time

This right here.

I have been working on upping my texture game for 3 damn years, because I haven’t been able to devote the amount of time I would like to it due to multiple deaths in my family and medical issues of my own, aside from also trying to raise a family. Now, when I post shit on here, the question I get the most is how the hell I make the textures I do- just to show, here is a shot of the same object texture, the original and the newest one. Practice does in fact make fucking perfect, and you can’t let the bullshit your head throws at you stop you from doing this or you will never get where you want to be.

>>475133

I like the train in the picture, it has a certain low poly charme to it.

>>474978
I was pretty much in the same boat as you. Learning ZBrush and retopo in Max or whatever modeling package you're using is my suggestion to you.

>>475135
> I have been working on upping my texture game for 3 damn years

A Hammer.

Not quite 3D modelling, But low poly model loaded into my program to smooth it out and create a neon type glow. Still counts

Welcome to the world of construction. Selling sq feet is more important that selling useable space.

I limit myself to follow the instructions of my cliens. Guess I am immune to bad architecture by now.

>>475218
Even by that logic it's a poor design. They could have used the full rectangular block, kept all the walls perpendicular, not had acute angles that are basically useless, and they would end up with more sq feet of floor space.

>>475219

I ´m pretty sure that this geometry is the result of a weird ass legal zoning prerequisite because the original lots are parallelograms and the project is going to be constructed in two parts.

But yeah that´s lazy architecture.

Anyways word.

>>475208
never seen it, Ill check it out

>>475207
that looks pretty cool, how did you make it so it's upside down?

is it still far to uncanny valley?

>>475233
work on the ss :^)

>>475123
normals to the grip as you said and darkened the blade a bit, and it already have a glossy material on it. Coudn't find a better texture to the hilt sadly. Also had to reduce the size due to the max file size allowed to post

>>475232

>How do you do backwards "b"

I re rendered it with the cars, the people and the signs upside down. Pretty straight forward.

Added water filter .

>>475236
paint your own texture for the hilt; it's not exactly complex. Why save as png for web? just save it as a jpeg. the blade still has no reflection. I'm assuming it's your lighting setup or an issue in the material. The grip looks better but that low res hilt just throws it off so bad.

>>475233
It is uncanny as fuck, and that's why we love you. Never change you magnificent motherfucker.

>>475240
How are those?

This is actually something I'm having made- halo 4 flood spartan arm prosthetic, will be 3d printed, then cast in latex/cloth

Finally found some time to improve my thunderhammer.

>>475026
and yet it is just simple Mental Ray Sun and Sky, probably took 2 mins to set up everything to do with rendering

It hasn't reached uncanny valley yet, it still just looks plain CG. Uncanny is when it looks real but slightly off in a way that weirds people out. Your model lacks a lot of detail, the only thing it would pass for is a weird latex body suit. You need finer details on the nipples and lips especially, more color variation in the skin too..

>>475371
Amazing.

Your brand here.

Same Jew client wanted me to make a quick render in 8 hours, I´m still figuring out the post.

>>475552

They just told me "Don´t worry, copy the design of the previous project for this other city, the client wont notice."

Lazy architecture at it´s finest.

>>475552

Changed materials. I have till 12 to send the image oh no.

>>475579

>>475579
what software do you use? mental ray and some raytrace materials would look gorgogerous on that model. makes me wanna start modelling rockets right now. or play KSP. or both.

>>475574
Looks pretty good considering the little time you had. Except for all that noise but I guess you had to render on shit settings to make the deadline. I know these situations oh so well.

>>475574
the little guy at at front bothers me a little. wouldn't it be better to add real people with ps or something in the end

>>475592
I'm not that guy but I honestly think those stock-image cardboardcutout archviz people look even worse. Everyone uses them and they ruin every fucking picture because you can tell after one second they're just 2D images stuck on top of a 3D scene and almost always look out of place.

The ideal solution are 3D people that actually look realistic of course.

Believe it or not those artifacts are noticed by the clients 20% of the time. I obviously ran the output image on a "de firefly" software. But yes, default settings and on to rendering.

>>475592

Bothers me too. I don´t use real people on these kind of deadlines because matching the lighting in post wastes precious time that could be wasted on the model.

>>475593

>>475620
Ha, I know. Most of the time clients won't notice technical stuff that I think looks horrendous when I send something out in a rush but then they'll complain about something stupid instead that is physically correct but "doesn't look right" to them that I never even thought about.

Anyway, good work man. It's not perfect but rushed work never is, as long as you're getting paid it's all good. The clowns on /3/ always complain but few of them know what it's like to make a living off of this shit, especially if you're freelance. You don't get the luxury of working on something until you're personally satisfied with it, you work on it until the client shuts up and pays you and then it's on to the next job. If my goal was to create amazing art I'd do it as a hobby, not a job.

>>475674

Mah nigga. Yes, clients have a very different perception of renderings it amuses me.

Yes, that´s why my professional portofolio doesn´t include my personal work because the client will ask for that type of quality on a shit deadline.

Anyways, the Jew Client is back with another project that I need to render before midnight.

PS: The client IS literally a Jew.

>>475671
It was all a ruse :^)
but that topology isn't good

>>475675

Trying to make a female head, however it appears to be too androgynous.

Before I work on the features, I want to change the big prroportions to better visualize a female, but I'm not sure what to do, the only things I can think of right now is making the chin smaller and softening the cheeks even more, completely bluring out the cheekbones.

>>475792
the chin is definitely the problem atm

>>475792
thats a woman?

thats dope

Rate my boob physics, /3/.

>>475831
if they're supposed to be fake, it's good. if they're supposed to be natural, needs less gelly.

>>475831
what software did you use?

>>475831
I did this breast-sim a few years ago, nice too see I inspired you

>>475832
I can easily make them more rigid, but it's supposed to be a balance of both jiggly and firm.

>>475833
3ds Max's cloth system.

>>475834
You're an inspiration to us all, senpai.

>>475834
>>475831

Looks like a balloon filled with water and not a breast

>>475838
yeah these are better than 99% of the other boobsims on /3/

>>475845
Yeah, the only better one I've seen was done in Maya. Didn't save the webm though.

ive been modeling for 3 months at school now, video game course, the teacher says i'm the best. how's it look?

I think I still have to watch a thousant tutorials until I can work it all out finally.
350 passes, Cycles renderer

>>475852

Express my deepest condolences for your teacher on his eye cancer.

>>475860

Looks very promising. The skin and hair obviously need a lot of work, time to cross that uncanny valley.

>>475675

Changed the retail store for a chipotle. Sent a preview and the Jew client already sold that to a franchise.

Fucking Jews. No wonder they hoard so many shekels.

>>475860
Id suggest adding and hdri map to help with the lighting.

>>475852
what is it?
also everyone else must be very very bad...

>>475860
my advice, learn one thing at once. your modeling is already good, after that, learn lighting, camera, materials, how to do hair

Im getting ready 4 hollywood.

Noice

>>475574
There's noise in this render? How do you notice that?

>>475918
Look at the glossy surfaces and the people... that's where it becomes most noticeable, surfaces that have low texture complexity. It might be hard to point out for some, but if you compared a clean version to a noisy one, you'd be able to tell the difference instantly.

>>475923

That´s the raw render. >>475574

Author here. Yep. This image was done with a tight deadline.

I ran it on a "de-firefly software and a denoiser", here´s the final version. It still has noticeable noise but the client was satisfied with it.

>>475927
So how much do you get paid for how much Time/Effort you put in with this sort of stuff

>>475923
I think I see what you mean, thanks.

>>475929

An equivalent to 400 Bucks for 8 hours of modelling, texturing and lighting and rendering. I´m not based in the US so that is "more money here". (Yes I´m from a third world country)

The client didn´t have an architectural plan he just sent me the location of the project and some minor indications like: 3 Story building with a sign on top, brick facade with glass surfaces and marble details, industrial modern look.

I pulled a design out of my ass with those indications and made a quick model. Took the neighboring building textures straight from Google Earth and made some basic models.

All the feedback was done using text messaging.

-Generic store furniture was pulled form other models I´ve made in the past.

-I used library trees and vehicles and the people are from "Populate".

-Rendered on a 4 gpu system using iray in 30 minutes.

-Final resolution was 4k (3840x3840), sufficient from banner printing.

It´s a lot of effort considering the short time but this is not even near top tier quality, I reserve that for my personal stuff and laid back clients.

It´s the market anon: Decent quality at low prices and no time.

>>475936

Dude that's actually good money, I charge 450 a day and I'm based in Germany and not a 3rd world country. I'm actually relieved you charge that much because lots of 3D people from developing countries are starting to pop up and selling their services for next to nothing so people here start outsourcing. Those fucks are stealing my job and they don't even have to leave their country for it.

I've actually had quite a few jobs from clients who were cheap and hired some chinese guys who would work for a quarter of what I charge but only produced shit. Then afterwards they asked me to un-fuck the situtation when they realized that you always get what you pay for and they can't use any of it.

Anyway, again, I like your work and pragmatism. Getting shit done fast by whatever means is a very useful skill to have in this industry.

>>475936
Interesting. I do actual work - construction - on buildings and houses and not once have i ever seen a 3d model beyond the ikea generated one

>>475948

Thanks anon much appreciated.

But this type of work is the odd job.

I´m from Colombia and here the situation is worse, I see every time some cheap fuck ups stealing my job and the best clients are always from abroad because nationals are the most unreliable payers.

I guess I´m sort of a upper level provider compared to the rest here in my country and even here you see from time to time Chinese and Indian stuff competing with you.

Cheers.

>>475950

>I do actual work

Wat you saying to me m8?

>not once have i ever seen a 3d model beyond the ikea generated one

Architectural renders are made to wet client´s pants in real-estate fairs not to be technical like floor-plans.

Bust I'm making, gonna do some more things but almost done.

alioto?

Had a deadline for a project. Made these (and a few others). Thoughts/things to improvve?

Im an architecture student btw.

>>475996
Texturing / unwrap on the wood on the left image, refections in glass on the right image.
Also the lighting is very cold, not appealing.
The modelling could use an extra notch of detail, especially around the water bassin. The shadows are too hard in my opinion and if you're going to make transparent glass, at least have a hint of interior design as well.

>>475998
Thanks for the tips. Much appreciated. It was a rush job, had to make the whole thing from scratch in 2 days, so I didn't have time for the interoir design, but you are right about it looking weird. Will work on lighting and the texture edges the next time.

Making a 3d enviroment for my final major project

What program are you using to make it all in?

>>476006

The modeling I use Maya 2015 and I'm building it all inside of UE4

top kek 8/8

>>475965
Hopefully it will look better in the final render.

>>475971
it's a concept from Ilya Kuvshinov

>>475969
Nice.

First time sculpting the human body. This is as far as I could get before hitting a roadblock. I have a few questions.

The scale on my mesh is obviously off. Legs are disproportionate to the arms, torso is too long, etc. How can I fix this? Do I just eyeball it until it looks right?

I've already defined the largest muscle and fat areas, and now don't know where to add more detail for when I start sculpting with higher subdvisions. Where can I find reference material to help with this?

Any good retopologizing tutorials for zbrush or max?

Is there a way to preview my mesh in zbrush that more closely resembles what I would see in max? I'm constantly switching between programs and adjusting things because the mesh looks different in both.

>>476094
Here we go again.

When it comes to proportions, you must remember that the full body is 7 times the length of the head. Follow this diagram.

>>476095
Yep.

I fucked myself by starting my sculpt with such an awkward pose, but I can make do with it.

Time to sculpt a generic head for reference I guess?

>>476097
Perhaps not necessarily. Try to measure how large the head would be, then compare it to your torso. Once you have done that, remember that the position of the hips is what matters, and not so much the length of the legs. Hope this image helps you.

>>476098
The advice definitely helps. I didn't think of tracing over my image. I'll do that.

Install gentooooooo.

>>475355
I like your timing and weight
But I think your poses can be more exaggerated
Realistic or not, this one pose kills it for me because it lacked alot of energy
Consider a gesture more like the shitty edit next to yours
It inverts the c pose from when he grabs his imaginary dick so you get this nice forceful pop when he blows his load, so to speak
Just my critique

Im working on a toon link model atm. What do yo guys think?

did the handy just now. I hate doing hands, they are hard to do...

first ever anatomical model. pretty fucked up.

>>476151
>>476152
Lookin' good.

But why is the pinky finger fatter than the rest?

>>476157
thats right.. have to fix it, thanks :)

Need some help here. Why is everything all over the place when I copy and move? Exported the model from autocad to 3ds max, so some models are saved as blocks, is that the problem?

>>476160
Maybe the "Reset XForm" Modifier could help?

>>476161
alright that worked. Thanks

>>474756
Damn you working on the next Star Wars or something? Also can you post more screens plz? :3

eyelashes should be black. Pupils could be a darker green, the mouth could be a darker / more saturated red. It looks like she should have a bun at the back of her hair. The way the curls begin seems to defy gravity a bit too much. Where it begins to curve outwards at the start of the curl, maybe that could be pulled down a little more so it doesn't curve 90 degrees so sharply, and let the the part that seems to be glued to her head hang straight down.

>>475590
update started texturing

Came back to this model to rig it and probably animate it. Does anyone know know how to force specular highlights in Maya without adding them to the texture? the eyes always look dead without it, and it only shows up at precise angles. Also is it worth getting UE4 for realtime beauty shots or is there a better alternative, or should i just stick to Maya render + post in PS?

might not be entirely 3D but I wanted to combine 3D and Photoshop so I rendered a facebook f and used it for this wallpaper thingy I made

>>476233
need a more waky font

Still dealing with hair, too dificult.

heres a dream im recreating, about half way done now id say,
lighting is placeholder and no textures except the jet is done

>>476353
Same guy who's modelled his dream scenes twice before and still hasn't learned how to light them?
Wtf is the giant black space on the left? What is the messy lighting above the stairs? Why do the light and stairs end abruptly at a black vertical bar?

>>476138
Shit, you actually make some really good points and now that i'm polishing in the graph editor, the problem that you've mentioned really stands out to me.

When I first started animating it, my goal was to get it to loop perfectly and have it viewable from all angles, almost as if it were something you were able to have in a game engine or something along that line, hence I wasn't as concerned about pushing my arcs as much as possible in just the render view.

I know realize that was a fucking stupid call.

>>476360
I've adjusted the posing the exaggerate the arc further, hopefully it works.

>>476385
You should look into animation layers so you don't have all those keys to deal with on one timeline.
You're still not getting the back leg out far enough, and the back needs to arch more.
And try keeping to head looking forward not tilting back, as if he's keeping eye contact.

From a ball to this in about 2 hours. Not bad for a beginner, eh?

Gonna move on to something else, but input for improvement is always appreciated so what do you guys think?

>>476386
I've always thought animation layers were used usually when animating for games as you can compartmentalize you're movements, the only reason that i've got keys pratically on every frame is that it has the character set selected where all the controls appear on the time line regardless of whether I have them selected, I find that an easier work flow to get my timing right when i'm blocking.

This is one of my controls that I haven't cleaned yet, in comparison to one that i've retouched in the graph editor.

>>476390
better than Bethesda's best work.

>>474683
Finally finished the tool shed that goes with this.

Can you guys give me some key words to google?

I'm trying to make an underwater scene. A pool bottom, maybe even a lake. I want to make a realistic rendering of a buoy (colored ball) underwater.
The only term I'm familiar with is caustics. What else do I need to know about?

>>474862
Man dude, learn to use depth of feild, fuck.

>>475870
Your reflections are really on point considering the time. The top half of your render really sells. You doing any sort of post work for this?

>>475951
Fuck me man, I work for an indian owned company in the states and it blows hard. Not to knock those people, but they cheeseburger the shit out of everything and they hired a formed a US just to unfuck their sloppy models. No structure to what they do, poor modeling, texturing, and lighting techniques. I mean what is a quad even to these goofy head nodding bastards, fuck. And they're cheap too. They're paying barely 32k a year here, which is peanuts!

All I see is a very basic geometry covered in a clusterfuck of clusterfuckery. Like you've been writing a cheap sci-fi book composed entirely of technobabble.

>>476477
>All I see is a very basic geometry covered in a clusterfuck of clusterfuckery.
Have you seen the actual executor? Because thats exactly what it is

>>476488
Oh that explains everything. My words seem even more fitting now.

It's coming along nicely, I think. The topology in general could be way better. I modelled the body in a really weird way now that I think of it, that's why it looks a bit stiff, but I'll use this in a bigger composition so hopefully it won't be a big deal

>>476521
needs better rendering but the overall shape looks good.

The inside of the glass building ought to be almost completely reflective during the daytime, shouldn't it?

And then Andy Dufraine crawled through miles and miles of shit.
Great movie

>>475927
I think you should try to use less people in the image. They look fake and they draw a lot of attention from the building which is supposed to be the main thing in the image.

Was the building on the right a complete model or did you create that one aswell in that 8 hour period? Looks pretty nice overall.
