I like that you've made the face more feminine. Wanted to point out in the previous thread that the head was very masculine but I kinda forgot.
I'd be more concerned about the shape of the tits rather than size, to be honest. Maybe you could say "it's Eldar physiology" but something about them looks off, like the top wants to sag but the bottom is very toned? I'm no boob expert so I don't really know how to explain haha. They just look unnatural. Those are some huge areolae too.

>> No.629324

>>629315
smaller, but as >>629321
the shape is weird. I think they are pointing too much upwards, especially the smaller breasts, also smaller breasts usually have smaller areolae, so keep that in mind whichever size you go for.

As boobs go.. I'm going with small ones, I was joking about enlarged ones, I have boobs on layer and big ones are dialed to 1.7 size.
Also I don't think that they look that unnatural as shape goes, it's just has relaxed and natural form and they are perky,
but overall I agree they need more work
also, these are not areoles )) it's just shadow from move brush.

Thank you!

Just finished doing most of the muscle work. Shaped the hands a little better in the process. Probably going to do a shirtless version so all the muscle work I did doesn't feel like as much of a waste.

Next is the face, then hands, then wrist bands. Not necessarily in that order.

Also made my own sort of matcap like material for cycles. I didn't like how the default material felt like it was washing away some of the model detail.

Some progress on this and a decision to make.

I don't know if I want to take a more stylized approach with the muscles or a more realistic approach with the muscles. Once it's all done, I do plan to bake in hard shadows or paint them in if I have to, and paint in some contour lines. In the end, I think I am going to try and mimic the cartoon, or at least get a cartoon feel / look out of this with few, hard transitions between colors, lights, and darks; with an offset shell for an outline.

Yes, drawing, both that and 3d goes together, so since I already had drawings skills, beginning 3d sculpting went rather smoothly (not that it made easy learning all the softwares and tools tho). Likewise, doing both at the same time definitely helps getting new points of view and improve from each sides.

As annon said, add slight volume to cheeks and eye sockets, she lookts too unfed.
Also, I'd work on ribcage a little more, it is not a fused thing, and does not have that uniform shape.
If you are going for stylized/Disney style, you should(must) follow Dylan Ekren (dekren), he is modeler from disney, he's works is one of the best in that style. (IMO he is the best, because he is not bound only to that stile, and experiments a lot)
Also He started posting on Youtube lately, check him out )

My current problem is that I am not thinking abstract enough. I got so used to doing everything as realistically as possible. What doesn't help is how I am working in Blender cycles. I hardly know shit about Blender internal, but I already know more or less how to get this to look the way I want on Sketchfab, but applying what I know about making a cartoon look in sketchfab to a sculpt is where I feel I am fumbling the most. I can make a figurine like sculpt, but I am struggling to visualize making the end result look like it belongs in a FighterZ screen shot.

Lookin' pretty good. The cheekbones are still a bit too pronounced/protrude too much, imo, giving her the sunken-face look. Her waist is also a bit too narrow and more importantly too sudden, it makes the top and bottom half look like two distinct pieces. You might wanna reposition your irises too, unless she's looking upwards. If your character is looking forward, irises tend to be right in the middle of the visible sclera.

Usually women have wider hips than shoulders if shes supposed to be thin built try bringing the top part of the torso in more.

Also the cheeks are sucked in too much shes looking skeletal in the facial region. I would bring the cheek bones in a little bit, in the front view they look too far out, I would also just bring in the side of the head more in general, usually in most cases you cant see the base of the ears from a head on view of someone and if you do its just barely visible so again tuck in the side of the head more, partly why her face looks so wide.

>> No.630370

probably not. The imperfections found in glass are extremely miniscule. Take a look at a pane of flat glass and shine a light through it at a very steep angle.

That's exactly how you animate. The next step is changing keys to linear or spline and adjusting the splines to get the flow you're after. Then adding detail passes until you have the LoD you want.

>The next step is changing keys to linear or spline and adjusting the splines to get the flow you're after.
Yeah no that's my point. I'm trying to see if there's some way I can leave it in blocking that still looks appealing- basically putting a lot of extra work in the the hold poses that would ususally go into cleaning up after making your splines linear.
I did some research since posting this and it looks like I need to add some splines. I'm going to go rewatch Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs since the holds in that movie are pretty intense and stylized.

Temporary UV seams to help me see things.
I wanted to build my own base mesh, but I also wanted to try out some new things.
I kinda recycled my previous model, but instead of just working on the low poly, I made changes in voxels just to get shapes, and now I am tackling topology. Instead of making legs as just tubes, I'm trying to match muscle flow and give extra edges to areas that may require extra editing and definition. My plan is to build a mesh that can be easily edited with modeling alone, after that I can subdivide, and sculpt over it, if there is need for extra detail in some parts.

Basically instead of sculpting a finished character and then retopologizing, or modeling base mesh, sculpting over it and then retopologizing, I am kinda doing things the other way around.

1. voxelizing old models
2. simplify shapes
3. retopo

after I am done with that I plan to:

4. make changes by modeling, and new UV
5. subdivide for sculpting details
6. baking onto the retopologized and edited mesh from 4.

Now that I wrote what I have done, and what I am going to do, I am ready for painful, yet helpful criticism.

Sorry man, didn't save the Illustrator file after making it.
It's very simple though, all flat colours with a very slight gradient down the middle strip and a rip of the 4chan logo in the white circle. The colours are all sampled from different page elements of a blue board, the gradient done from the background of a blue board page down from the list of boards to the board content.

Feel free to use my image as a reference inb4 someone points out some flaws.
My advice is to always start with the key edge loops, always leaving space before connecting everything in case you need an extra edge somewhere and to keep it clean. I always check where my edge goes by switching to "split rings" tool because it gives me a preview of where new edges would go. Leave the knuckles until the end.

It looks pretty good, my critique would be that it seems to have a pretty flat roughness map, so it doesn't catch the light too interestingly. Also the wood's basecolor seems pretty flat as well. My biggest issue is the text. It seems like its too perfect and is just sitting on top of the wood instead of being painted on. Especially for how roughed up the rest of the crate is. Maybe a bit more dirt or grime where the side 2x4s meet the flat planks would help ground it too, the corners seem to clean and that IRL is where it would accumulate.

1. Boolean cut out the patterned areas to separate subtools and recess them a little, polish to give nice round edges.
2. Assign unique polypaint and bake vertex colour map and keep my fingers crossed that Quixel Suite has a noise pattern that's close to it. If not, I'll generate one with the NDO photo-process workflow from a pic of that material.

A combination of techniques. All the organic shaped parts (handle, grips etc) were box modelled quite thoroughly in Max but then quite heavily worked into in Zbrush.
All the other parts were at least roughed out in Fusion360 and then finished in Zbrush. Some stuff is totally unchanged from when it was made in Fusion.

Finally made a bit more progress on my Goku model. Finished doing the retopology and baking my normal maps. This is currently 4 total meshes, one for hair, one for the entire body, and 2 offset meshes for the outline. All together sitting at roughly 60,000 tris. This being my second character model, the first didn't even have an outline mesh and easily was over double that tri count. So feeling pretty good about this right now. Just gotta paint in some of the linework, fix the normal map a little, rig, and finally pose.

I recently had an interview* for an AAA studio. The lead campaign artist for the dept I'd be working in was a woman, the lead environment artist above her was a woman, I was interviewed by the (female) campaign artist and another dude and was told another senior artist (who I happened to know was a woman) also went over my portfolio.

I'm not judging you or telling you what to do with your art - I'm just giving you a heads up, that's all, but if I had that piece in my portfolio and I had to talk about it in front of two women I personally wouldn't be all that comfortable, and I reckon they wouldn't be either.

Again - it's your work, and I'm not lecturing anyone here so don't flame me; I'm just telling you how it is so you can make up your own mind(s): if you apply for a position in a big company in the UK or the US - you will almost certainly be interviewed by both male and female interviewers, all-male interview panels just do not exist now.

Draw your own conclusions.

*No i didn't get it, but senior art director later told me via email that I finished in the top 6 of 240 applicants and that I should apply again in a year.

That kind of design is nothing crazy in video games, plenty of pro women are used to them or creates them themselves.

Sure. I get it - this stuff exists commercially, there's a market for it, and it therefore has to be made by professionals. Fine. Again - I'm *not* laying into anyone here...

BUT....

All I'm saying is, in this day and age - unless you are specifically applying for a company that makes the kind of products where a character like this is featured - you are very probably putting yourself on your back foot in the interview stage if you show work like this.

Like it or not - this kind of character is contentious now, so unless you've got a very specific studio in mind, spending time on portfolio pieces which are gonna raise eyebrows might not be the best way to spend your time.

Echoing >>631386 real hard here.
Personally I don't really find Anon's post to be necessarily inappropriate in any way, it's not like it's doing anything explicitly sexual that would raise any alarms. It's just a showcase and paying homage to something he enjoys. Furthermore, the character acts like that, so it's just being faithful to source.
And jeez, dude, you're projecting double standards real hard there. So what if it's an all-female panel? Do males all act completely different from women? You imply really heavily that men will just go "haha hell yeah bro sweet tits", while women will call you the devil and want you removed. It's just not like that. Men can express disgust, especially in a professional environment, and women may be accepting of or even enjoy such risque content too. There's that one incident a while back about some blue-white super-busty anime chick that SJWs were going wild on, calling it "oversexualisation by men once again". But it turned out a woman had proudly designed her, and that her track record was full of similarly endowed eye-candy. So yeah, women can act like this too.

>>631390
As for this, I'm not making any arguing points here, I just want to express some thoughts.
I guess this says more about current societal norms than anything, but if someone's really going to be turned down because they made scantily clad women in their free time and not because their skillset isn't proficient enough for the tasks, that's just honestly ridiculously backwards. And I get that that kind of thinking is prevalent nowadays, especially with the whole #MeToo thing.
But to seriously value acting politically correct over having raw skill and talent? It's just a major shame to miss out that badly.

the house is a "product" you sell, but when you make a portfolio to get a job, you don't simply sell something and be done, you get a place to work. You're going to spend majority of your hours at that place, so if you can allow yourself to be picky about those things, it is best to get the job which caters to your interests and doesn't demonize you for them.
Just as you wrote if he is aiming for a place to work that wants that kind of fanservice then fine. Having sexualized pieces in your portfolio may keep you away from some jobs, it is true, but what I am trying to say is, if you really want to get jobs like that in the first place.

Jeez, you sound maladjusted.

You need to understand that the feeling that female bodies are "icky" is purely a male construct. Women don't feel that the female body is icky. The reason why, exactly, should be obvious. Talk to a woman one of those days, you'll quickly understand the gig.

Women are far more accepting of erotic pictures, because they are far more objective about it, on average. The entire section of your brain that goes crazy while watching a half-naked model don't exist inside a female brain. When you are stammering and trying to rationalize, women just say: "yep, it's erotic, good job". They can appreciate it on a purely technical level and won't be triggered by it, not like you are biologically.

Add to that that women have developed, by nature, a strong exhibitionist instinct, and they like to self-insert into capable hypersexual characters just as men like to self-insert into capable hypersexual characters, and you'll be surprised how level-headed, accepting, and even appreciating they can be of risqué art. I've found that men on average are far more easily triggered by 3d titties.

It is globally the same thing with prostitution. Talk to an average woman about her views on prostitution one of those days. The discussion is always enlightening. Men are a bundle of repressed and contradictory instincts when they think of prostitution. Most women see it as a perfectly normal job, or even one that is glamorous (when done in a classy way, escorts gaining mad cash and everything).

I've followed the tutorials in https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqHa5bmORg-H_EMELJ_ww6g but it's in progress and my current head is how far it goes.

I'm a newbie but I'd like to try finishing the model myself and attach the hand that I already made for an earlier project. I'd like to rig (is that the right word?) the model so that I can turn it, etc.

Is the hand even in a usable state? The fingers are made as pieces (I'm not sure why I initially did this). I need to join everything together, right? And isn't there topology stuff to consider to make the hand work ok with animation?

Also, what about clothes? Do you do them as separate objects and then link them to the body in some way? How do I make the clothes follow the body (making the skirt follow the leg instead of having clipping, etc)? Is that something that you fix by rigging?

>> No.631638

Yes theres topology stuff. You need to knife the main part soon enough. You need to join the fingers first though.
Also in seeing that face model of yours be careful somehow. You just might want to follow one side Like a front perspective only.
Remember that if you're dealing with anime characters the front and the side will not be always the same.

Also yeah we'll see how the face turns out in the end.

>>631639
I guess it's quads?

But yeah, what about clothes? I model them separately and deformation is solved in rigging, right? But what about the insides of the clothes? Do you model that side too? Guess I could fuck off and search for a tutorial but I'd like to just start quickly and see what happens.

you model the clothes directly on the body. there is no need to have a unified mesh for everything

Wonder if I can use this old torso if I just fix the proportions and raise the arms? Not sure how to plop the head on though, it's got so many more verts even with subsurf turned off (right)

>>631642
Sorry if it's a stupid question but why would I do that? Because they're simple in my case (just a skirt leaving the body pretty much), or? Wouldn't it be an issue if I want to do different clothing sets? Or should I just create a new body for every clothing set? But wouldn't that open up for proportional discrepancies between different clothes?

ill show you an old example something i did back long time ago.

the body was just some human model off the internet. i used snapping too and shrinkwrap modifier to create new polygons on the existing body surface, then i used solidify modifier to give it more thickness.
it doesn't really matter how you create the clothes (if its a part of the body or separated). the only reason you'd go with separate is for different clothing items
i recommend making the clothes not puffy or blown up, so they will sit on the body tightly, this way you can weight paint nicely. without clipping issues.
also, you can hide the body mesh when weight painting, so it becomes easier.
i haven't tried rigging stuff with clothes yet, but with a model like your's it shouldn't be an issue.
also, don't be cheap on polygons when you do clothes, because they need to have decent deformation. using auto-weights is cool too if you place the bones correctly.

I'm making a violin render, but before I continue, I need to make the wood look realistic, as if it had varnish. I'm showing it here how it should look: there should be a bright reflex on these parts. That's how a violin works.

But how could I make that? I'm using blender nodes, so I don't want to just throw a texture there. Anitrosopic and Glossy didn't seem to work by themselves.

Currently retop'ing this.
Can't decide whether to include these raised grip details on the back of the slide in the mesh or just leave it to the normal bake. Any thoughts?
How do you all decide on what gets built into the mesh and what gets left to the normal bake? I generally have a rule that it only gets modelled if it forms part of the silhouette - but there are borderline situations like this where there are small details in the sillhouette, but to include it in the model will increase the polycount quite a bit... Don't know how to make a decision here.
Thoughts?

It depends on use case I guess. If you're just optimising for a studio render, leave the geometry there. If you plan to take it into a game, I think it'd be better to bake it.

Yeah, it looks completely okay baked. What's the use scenario? Do you intend for it to be an FPS-view gun? I mean, even then such details in geometry are difficult to spot unless you're using a model viewer to scrutinise, because it'll be easily hidden through constant animation.
Also, that better not be your final gun texture, if it is you should worry about getting that detail first.

It's just a practice piece really. I'm an environment guy, not a hard-surface/props artist at all. I just want it to look good on my ArtStation to show I can do this stuff if I want.

>>Do you intend for it to be an FPS-view gun?
If it's for FPS - isn't it *more* important to get these silhouette details looking good? I mean, the player is spending the whole time looking at a totally fore-shortened view of the prop, and those viewing angles are where lack of mesh detail is most noticeable, no?

>>Also, that better not be your final gun texture
Pfft. Yeah right. That's the 'Quixel Steel' preset in Marmoset (where I do my baking). Its nice to have a (very) rough albedo/gloss/rough map on the model while I'm sorting out the bake.
But fuck no - this guy has got approx 18 hours of getting comfy with me in Quixel Suite in it's future.

Also general question - why do people who have Toolbag installed not use it to bake? It's literally light years ahead of anything else.

Too late for this one, but your bevels are much too tight for game meshes. Heck, I'd wager they're tighter than the real thing at this point. I would try softening them for your next model, you'll get much better looking results for realtime/game art.
