Maya and Max are much more complete than Blender in their respective specializations (animation and modeling), integrate better with other production tools, and are essential to big studios. Some of the best work out there, either by pros or amateurs, cannot be created in Blender alone because of technical limitations.

You can certainly do good work in Blender, but it may be unnecessarily difficult, and you'll lack access to modern tools. Which may not be a problem at all, if your work goals don't require them. Take for example the work done in Blender that's posted to ArtStation -- you'll find lots of cartoony characters. That's not just a trend, it's also because Blender is not very well equipped for photorealistic, top-of-the-line character creation. For example, its grooming abilities are limited, particularly for simulation, and it doesn't come with good hair shaders; you can't also paint a detailed skin texture because of its lack of support for UDIM; the cloth sim is lackluster; etc. But for cartoons? No problem, it can do.

That's not the answer to "are you using tangent space?" that anon asked.
But here's a tip.
There's 2 ways you can do it.
Delete that ring of verts you just made in any case.
Option 1. Select the face, and press "i" to inset the face.
Option 2. Delete the topmost face (only), select the ring of verts that made it, extrude, and scale (press shift+z to lock to the xy axis).

In either case this makes an n-gon, but that hardly matters at your level, and since the face is flat anyway it wouldn't make a difference.

How can there be so few courses on modelling on CG Cookie? Half of them are for highly specific things (Ex: Procedural sand dunes, or voxels) and the other half are for games. I don't understand why so many of these websites don't just have courses for intermediate, hard-surface modelling, without any extra gimmicks added in. Any suggestions, lads?

There was a course that went into them a bit, I don't remember it much though. I think the main points were to use a mirror modifier during unwrapping to save texture space, use stretch visualization to know when you can stop seaming, and put seams in areas where they're less visible. This was the texturing the axe exercise.

I'm trying to make my scenes (arch viz) cleaner. What do I need to know about transforms? Should my object always be 1.0 scale? Should I apply scale and rotation to all my objects? Should I scale/rotate in edit mode or object mode? Should the origin always be at the center of my geometry? Or should it be where it makes most sense? For example, should a door's origin be between both hinges? That way when animating it will rotate along the side with hinges.

If I run into problems, I can typically correct it. For example, I couldn't get something to rotate in an animation, and I applied the rotation and fixed the origin point, etc. It finally animated correctly. Is this enough problem solving abilities to just ignore scale and rotation while modelling, or should I think more about how and where I'm extruding/scaling/rotating things and what mode I'm in (object, edit)?

I like to measure real-life objects when modelling to get the scale of the world correct, so my dimensions are often set to the correct size in metric, but my scale will be weird fractions between 0 and 1 like 0.592. Doesn't it make most sense to have the scale be at 1.0? Like you've got hamburgers and jumbo hamburgers. The jumbo can be thought of as 1.25 (or whatever) the scale of the hamburger. So instead of modelling two burgers, get the reference burger at 1.0, and then increase the scale of the jumbos. Instant jumbo burgers that are logically consistent in some way.

I tried with a premade UV layout, pic related. It does what I expected, but it turns out it is not a good way to make an oil paint style filter.
The problem is it samples only one pixel per cell (one UV coordinate) and this results in a very jagged image.

Ideally it should sample all pixels inside one cell and take the average color.

Is there a way to achieve that in Blender nodes? To get the average color over an area??

Bad UI design that makes no god damn sense (2.80 has made improvements but still issues) and is totally opposite to any other 3D program, and combined with an overly dependent on hotkeys workflow. Most other programs no matter what for the past few decades has a UI that makes sense and you can eventually figure out on your own, but Blender's core design is just so backwards it makes even some simple tasks overly complicated. Adding to the confusion is certain functions working only on certain context/mouse placement and changing common 3D terminology just because.

Ive learned blender but so much of its design is absolutely inexcusable and pushes away beginners. To its credit 2.80 is a good step forward but still has a long way to go.

I don't know about others, but I do like working like that. Linear workflow in ACES, comp in Fusion and grading in Resolve. I'm an amateur tho, I don't know about professional pipelines. I don't expect them to give up control however, so I assume their workflow is more involved.

Yep, they fucked up somewhere.
RC1 Edit mode with just ONE subdivision level is painfully slow. It was literally never this slow, like 3fps slow on my machine while that level of subdiv at laughable 40k should be at least feeling around like 40 or more fps

About that grant from Epic
>Professionalizing Blender Development – the Epic Grant
>When the new Development Fund launched I contacted Epic Games to join as a member as well. The conversations with Epic Games general manager Marc Petit became more tangible in February and March 2019. It was clear that Marc’s main topic was that we could improve in attracting more professional contributors – a recurring topic, already discussed with friends working for Google. In some areas Blender is still a bit in the stone age. We should invest in quality.

>I suggested to set this up as a 3 or 4 year commitment, to ensure continuity. The project would then materialize as a public ‘developers back office’ – providing a wide range of activities that will help developers and contributors in general – regardless if it’s a Foundation supported developer or an external developer or a volunteer. This is the basic level of support an open source project can always do well. By supporting developers in an open project, they will be able to provide user support of superior quality.

>In the final grant agreement, as signed in June, the description was very simple – referring only to texts I wrote and confirming to support the Blender open source project in general for a period of 3 years. No strings attached, except for regular reporting and actually spending the grant on Blender.

Nice try.

"Two parts of GPLv2 imply that the distributor gives the downstream recipients a patent licence. In section 6, GPLv2 says that the distributor grants a licence to carry out the four freedoms. In section 7, it says that distribution is banned if the distributor has patent obligations preventing the recipient from having the four freedoms. So, if the distributor does distribute, then there is an acknowledgement that the recipient is free to do everything described in the licence."

Does anyone know of a workflow to make stylistic hair in blender 2.8?

Like say you wanted to do Princess Peach's hairstyle with particles.
It's really difficult to make it look right with the comb tools, i have tried.

And i know that you could just make it a mesh and make some texture that looks like hair. But i'm asking how i'd make it with particles

I am having a really bad time with the typology on this character's knee. I'd like for this line to go all the way down to her feet, but unfortunately I don't see a way to seamlessly make this happen.

What should I do?

>> No.690947

>>690946
If you really wanna connect it all the way down. You either subdivide the lower part. Or make the top part be lower poly.

I'd go for that latter

Thank you, anon. I guess I'll try that and see how it goes.

new to 3d and have a simple question. are blender models something appropriate for indie games or mobile games? i see a lot of shit flinging about blender not being taking seriously for production, but that makes me think more about AAA games or film. For someone starting out, could you practice in blender making unique things that are people would still find a use for and pay you for?

>> No.691777

>>691745
No, sorry. Every model made in Blender has an inherent look to it, you can never completely hide its origins no matter how well you model it. Big studios have inquisitors on their hiring teams who are experts at rooting out Blender users, so if they find anything you've ever made in Blender before they'll know and blacklist you across the industry.

Are .r and .l naming conventions the only way to rename bones when you copy/mirror them? Would save me time if it could find-and-replace 'right' for 'left'
