It’s your stupid ol’ general-san back with a lame admin post to kick stuff off.
Hope you guys like the collage, was easier and harder than expected to make. I tried to add everyone’s contributions, but as you can tell some didn’t make it.
>just didn’t fit
Sorry arch/envbros, while you guys are doing great work it’s a little hard to fit something like that in the collage. Not trying to devalue your work, it’s still great stuff.
It’s also a little awkward for some of the pieces, shit like weird background or poor subject framing makes it hard to extract it and throw it in.
>anon gave up
No point adding someone’s work if they’re going to throw in the towel and not see it in the end. (bipedal titty anon from the previous thread)
>not final
Either it’s a little too early in the process, or you’ve posted an updated version of it later on in the thread.

Also, you may note that there’s now a pastebin link to free resources in the OP. Thought it would be helpful for our fellow newfags.

Cheers, enjoy the thread.

Still messing around with the building. Playing around with cheating the interiors with some perspective mapping windowbox type shit. It's just a setup that I found online (windows are just flat planes with a room projected based on view angle), so I'm still trying to figure it out which is why it doesn't quite match up. That being said, I also just realized I can't texture for shit. It's gonna be a background building and in the dark so I guess it doesn't matter too much, but damn I need to figure out how to do it. The scale of the texture is pretty wrong, but when I tile it higher there's a ton of shitty patterning. Gonna have to keep playing with it I guess.

Well it's just a node setup I found, so it's not really my work. I'm still trying to figure it out and get it to do what I want. It's pretty messy, but I think I understand WHY it works, just not exactly HOW. I'm trying to reverse engineer it a bit to figure that out.
Pic related is the node setup. It's pretty damn messy but that's how it came. I've found a few node setups that do what I need, but none of them are working correctly with Eevee or can use GPU rendering.

>>656150
Yeah I saw some stuff like that, and a few OSL shaders that do the same thing. I'm going to be rendering real time with Eevee though, so I don't think those would work. I'm hoping to get some sort of cyberpunk-ish animation going, and if possible do a 360 video for it as well. Having it done in a realtime engine will save me a ton of time.

Polycount and loop flow are mostly okay. I think you have too many poles, poles are bad when you're modeling and should be kept at a minimum

You should work on the aesthetics of your model, it looks like shit, use better references (or use references at all if you didn't) next time

>> No.656317

>>656315
yeah the model is shit since i did't use references so i was winging it hard. thats fine though now that i gained a better understanding of modeling so i will focus on the look of it more. as far as the poles go i did kind of abuse since im a fucking noob, i spent the the entire day trying to minimize the damage by adding more loops to cancel them out, but i guess it will come with better understanding of topology? thanks for the crit man

The overall shape looks fine for the most part. I'd say your biggest issues are with lower lip shape, and ear shape. Find some proper pictures, study the trends between them, fix those shaping errors. There are probably some underlying bone structures that are slightly incorrect, but I can't identify them for you since my facial anatomy isn't that strong. It otherwise looks fine for the most part.
>>656351
As far as ideal physiology goes, a straight face profile like that is pretty desirable. It's indicative of strong jaw structure, i.e. manliness. It so happens that in reality many people don't have that feature, which is probably why you see it as odd.

Are you talking about moving the folds to different positions on the cloths at runtime? I probably wont do that. Just different "areas" where you can turn folds on and off. You'll be able to turn yoga pants into jeans for example by adding pockets, folds, belt loops, changing material etc.

if you did want to move an object and get proper weights at runtime, I bet you could get weight information about vertices on the base mesh in the surrounding area of your floating geometry.

>> No.656393

>>656390
yeah, I thought what you meant by making it modular was letting users change the position and weights at runtime. Enabling and disabling mesh renderer is definitely easier.

I wanted to know how to weight at runtime because I will eventually need to figure out how I want to make swappable hair and helmets, and hats. I could parent everything to the head bone and just disable mesh renderer on all of them except one, but if I am going to have many of them, then that is not performant.

>> No.656395

>>656393
Im not to this point yet but I'll have to implement the same system. I was gonna use one mesh and replace the mesh at runtime so I dont have to have too many useless objects in scene.

Im pretty sure this works


public Mesh skinMesh; //whatever mesh you want

void Start () {
gameObject.GetComponent<SkinnedMeshRenderer>().sharedMesh = skinMesh;


//but then you have to assign the correct materials to the mesh

that does not set weights to bones, it just makes it able for you to change the rendering. You can maybe make prefabs at correct position to a model character in t-pose and parent it with 100% to one bone, or you will need to weight paint every extra accessory externally.

Just weight those swappable parts in your 3D tool, (soft stuff copy weights from base mesh and hard stuff just set the weight to a single bone) and removing/adding them at runtime shouldn't be a problem (In unreal set your base mesh as master pose component then the attached part will get all it's animations copied (the attached part doesn't need to have all bones only those that are relevant for it and it can even have additional bones to drive with physics or an animation blueprint).

Sculpting without symmetry is great for practice because you are often sculpting the same things twice and have to go back and forth between them improving both sides. The base of his nose looks a bit twisted, but then I have seen real noses that are worse.

So I rig my character, then copy to separate file, delete my character and all bones except head bone, import my helmet, skin it to my head bone and export. Inside game engine (I use unity) I import my character, then I import my helmet. as long as their rotation, position and scale are the same, and the character is in T pose, they line up perfectly and both have their own head bones. What do I need to do to make the helmet's head bone cope the movement of the character's head bone?

you can just export all weighted objects at once attached to the same armature as FBX. In unity, delete the unused objects from the scene (They're still part of the project after deleting from the scene) and switch the mesh out with that >>656395 code

following a lightbulb tutorial using Blender 2.8b.
can still see sphere geometry and the some grain.

my goal is to become proficient through the knowledge I acquire in my quest to recreate pre-Blender 2.8b icons in a fully realized 3D format...so that they can be packaged and animated as part of a colorful memorable UI.

I strongly dislike the monochrome set that was added in this beta. The community is polarized pretty strongly on the topic and somehow I imagine the dev team will manage to tune out the side that opposes their decision.

The new GIMP icons annoy me in the same manner but at least I am able to revert to the previous theme without modifying source code.

The 3D set will include very effective LOD scaling and cute borders just like in the original.
I'm a 3D noob but learning will be a good distraction from violent videogames and racism/general misanthropy that I've resorted to out of shear frustration with the world.

You are fallowing an awful nonsensical concept, your arms float, your legs look funny, overall you are giving a giant monster forms that dont fit him and a silhouette of a female hourglass
Strong characters always get simplified into squares or inverted triangles in cartoons, thats what makes your concept so bad, the artists does not understand the fundamentals of character design
At lest fix those arms, lower them, bring them closer together, get those leg closer, always model in a natural pose, never in an awkward t pose like we are back in 1998, or i would recommend finding better inspiration ;f

A good advise if you are learning pick things you can break down and find refs on.
When doing standard poly modeling this would always go down to doing simple objects, fire hydrants, desk, chairs, but in sculpting you might wanna focus on characters with actual modeling sheets and ones that look decent.

You cant get stuck on fucking around with one thing for days, you want to go over as many things as you can in quick time, especially when you are learning.

Honestly with how wonky your anatomy is you might as well ignore it and just push forward to establish a workflow from start to finish.
But if you are gonna do a next model you need to work on something you can study, something that wasnt made up by a retard who cant draw.

Made another cyberpunk skyscraper, as well as an alternate profile for the previous one. It seemed kind of squat for a skyscraper.
The new one is something of a super high density living area type thing. It was based somewhat off a building from Blade Runner. I think the next thing I'll do is make a few variants for the rooms to keep things from looking samey.

Something that's hard for some reason is getting that "woah, fuckhuge" look like BR has, while still seeming believable. There's the old Star Wars/ILM adage of adding a fuckton of lights to make things seem bigger, but I feel like there'd be a point where it gets really bullshit looking if all the windows are super tiny. I guess it'll be down to having a point of reference to make things seem really big.

Some tips:
Crank up that emission way higher. I know this isn't final, but trust me, it'll have a lot more of that cyberpunky neon feel immediately.
Play with more geometric shapes. Slopes, towers, even rounded ends. It'll help break up the blocky feel of things, and further help to sell a cyberpunk illusion.
>There's the old Star Wars/ILM adage of adding a fuckton of lights to make things seem bigger, but I feel like there'd be a point where it gets really bullshit looking if all the windows are super tiny.
Not necessarily. Cluster your lights up, have big patches of illuminated windows and "off" windows, and you can still pass it off.
You probably have your references already, but check out Syd Mead's BR stuff. Pic related pretty much encapsulates what I've said.

Not even there yet, but will do. I was planning on really punching the neons and lights really hard, just was working on buildings by themselves for now.

>Play with more geometric shapes. Slopes, towers, even rounded ends.
Doing that too, now that I've got a workflow down. First building+variations was really just to get a quick flow down to knock buildings out quickly. Now that I've got it down, I'll be really going wild with designs and stuff. Especially since I can crank out a building in about an hour or two.

I've been mainly just taking a random select and using that to pick which windows are lit up. Figured it'd work out especially for background stuff.
My boi Syd Mead is in my references, don't worry. Actually met the guy at one of his shows, he's got a ton of great work. I actually saw your pic related irl.
I'll keep your tips in mind though when I continue on. At best, this city is just going to look like a hodge-podge of cyberpunk buildings from all sorts of media. Should be good variety at least.

For the most part, right now I'm just getting a volume of buildings to populate a background cityscape. I've got an animation that I'd like to do sometime down the line, and I'm just laying the groundwork.
That being said, I couldn't resist doing a half assed render with what I've got now (sorry if it's a bit dark). Eevee just doesn't light up how you'd really expect it to. For some reason I can't get emission planes to actually emit light.

>For some reason I can't get emission planes to actually emit light.
Haven't used Eevee in a long time, not sure if things have changed, but do you have screen-space reflections turned on? Plus, any emissions off-screen won't work (unless they're light sources) since Eevee operates wholly screen-space and doesn't compensate for anything outside of that.
If you haven't already planned for it, play around with the emissive colours too. Throw around more blue and amber lights.

Yeah I'll give some manual picking a go too. Not everyone's asleep at midnight, especially in a dystopia.

I've got SSR turned on yeah. Doesn't seem to be doing much, even when I crank the sensitivity up and lower the roughness of materials. The building on the left should definitely be getting some of the light and even some reflectance from the display on the right, but it's not getting shit. I dunno what's up. It's really hit or miss with Eevee for me. Sometimes it looks great and works how you'd expect, and other times you have to fight with it to even do basic shit. I've had good results with other scenes using mesh lighting and reflections, so I don't know what's up here. And yeah I threw on a cooling filter after I posted it here and it really pulled it together. I'd feel kind of shitty posting the same thing 3 times in a row though, so just take my word for it.

Hey!
It's the always-here general man here to tell you guys just once more:

Please theme your posts with that festive cheer!

Trying to put together a nice comfy collage for the next /wip/ thread in light of the current season, so it'd be great to have a unified theme going. Additionally, just some small notes so your work will be 100% featured in the next collage:
>frame it appropriately
Don't crop out any detail from top or bottom, if not I'll have to shove it into a corner somewhere. Also, give it a good angle. Don't want it to look _too_ out of place.
>proper background
Ideally, something with a transparent background would be the best. But as long as your background is simple (i.e. no super harsh gradient and your project is well contrasted against it), I'll have no problem cutting it out.

This thread's been one of the fastest /wip/s we've had. Might even make it in time for the big 25th itself.

Ciao everyone, enjoy the thread, keep working hard, and have a merry Christmas.

Question that has been confusing me for a long time.

When I look at models in Maya/MODO I see people create really smooth meshes that can turn and curve about without edges all over the place? How exactly do you do this? I could never get it to work in Blender. It always seems like I have to use a fuck load of edges/vert to get that section to be smooth. But something like this image requires only 2-3 edges to make a really smooth curve.

In Blender that's a subsurface modifier. Other programs call it smoothing, turbosmooth, etc. etc.
You can enable the edges to 'follow' your mesh by clicking the third and fourth button of your modifier, see image attached.

I hate walk cycles they are annoyingly difficult, yet some of the most important because they'll be seen all the time. The side ways walk animation is a bit iffy and the chest and head on the forward walk probably a bit too stable, but at least they are blending well together.

Yeah no doubt. It's a bit of a balancing act trying to get everything looking right, they either come off as too bright and look super fake, or to dim like they are now. Right now the rooms/lights are a placeholder shader so I'm not too focused on it just right now. I plan on making some different room types, adding some neon decorations, advertisements and other stuff to the buildings once I get a good chunk of buildings together. Figured I'd make a big batch of ads and stuff that I can place procedurally and then fine tune by hand once they're all put together.

Do you know what Anatomy means? It means the body. Simply put, the human anatomy means the form, structure and understanding of how it all comes together. If you don't know how to recreate the human form, go back to books and study. You cannot recreate what you don't fucking understand.

>> No.657878

>>657874

Not dissing >>657865 and >>657875 anon, but I think a simpler and faster way to create boobs you find appealing is just to go on sketchfab, search for female basemeshes that are downloadable, find one with boobs you like, superimpose that on top of your existing mesh and then just match your mesh to the base. There are tons of these bases on the internet and most of them are pretty passable for uses like this.

Anatomy books are fine as quick references when you're already deep into a sculpt and you want to know how bones connect to muscle under flesh. Dropping everything you're doing to study one in-depth is akin to practicing bowing for five years before an old master will let you play a musical piece for the first time.

You may want to pump the polygons a bit there.

I'm only getting about 120 poly closer to my limit with the jimping, but yeah thats the first part I think I'll cut down on if I get past my personal limit. I think I can easy get it down to about 60.
