If you're gonna do quantity over quality then your scene needs to tell some kind of story, otherwise you just painstakingly duplicated a lot of unity store assets

I'm sure you made every single one of the props, and now you have a personal library of reusable logs, barrels, etc, worked really hard, probably learned a lot, but as a portfolio piece you just demonstrated you can reinvent the wheel
Every single item there could be critiqued (in the way that really anything can be just pushed forward forever until you've recreated a 1:1 copy of a real world thing) but at some point you've got to call those things "done"

which is why they've called it 'done' and asked for feedback. Cool ramblings.

Every single item there is unfinished.
The scene is boring, the props are randomly scattered around, I am not being told anything visually.
The lighting is flat, the background things are untextured, many props are exact duplicates with little or no variation (or so little a variation that it's hidden to the casual viewer).
Overall it's a pretty terrible piece, someone evaluating it for the purposes of a portfolio would quickly move past it; they might not vocalize all the things I've said but they'll feel it.

Now how about YOU write a useful post instead of posting about a post of a post? Fucking idiot.

Google composition, google color theory, look at classical paintings, try to understand what makes something visually interesting
Even changing the color balance, the lighting, the camera shot, just rearranging the shit, at some sort of details that tell me something other than "a bunch of shit, most of which is absolutely pristine, while some of it is crumpled in a room, it's KIND of winter related"

Move the camera back a bit, give me a longer shot, have the furnace open and with coal spilled on the ground, have everything dusty (or just add god rays), have foot prints on the floor in dust leading away from everything as if somebody tried to clean all this shit up then gave up; fucking anything

You don't even have to go apeshit adding in the wear detail shit, you could do a lot in post; just anything to make it visually appealing.
Consider film making (or photography): all the shit already exists, someone has to either arrange it or find it arranged (as a result of the circumstances of things happening in the real world) to be visually interesting.

Again, I'm harping on composition because the guy has had enough of working on the individual props (which I have already said are technically fine, he's obviously proficient as a modeller)
These are the first results I got googling "3d composition", watch these (or better ones if you can find them, the ideas are universal)

>Well I'm calling it done
DON'T.
It looks good for your first env. piece but you can still make it 15% better by working on the textures, especially the walls and the ground - it looks too clean. Also the lighting could be more dramatic and atmospheric. You are 95% there but the last little bit can make a big difference to the viewer.
Don't throw the potential better end result away by getting lazy now. You might be sick of it now and want to start something new - fair enough, but consider coming back to the project in a couple of days and give it another polishing pass.
Also think about environmental story telling, right now there is none, but there could be with a little-bit of effort.
If you need more precise tips on what exactly to do If you are unsure, I can provide that if you give me a littlebit of time (i am lazy myself) but before that sleep over it a couple of nights and look at it again with fresh eyes.

>> No.751297

>>751294
I'm a noob too but here's some real life and cartoon animation observation:
Your prepare phase is too short (when she's contracting muscles before springing upwards), especially in comparison with the phase in the beginning which doesn't seem to have any meaning. Maybe you were referencing something, but here it's not helping to accentualize the jump at all. Second jump looks better because of this.

In animation, if it's stylized, people actually prolong the prepare phase even more, to accentuate the action better. If a character is about to punch someone, make him aim a blow for a comically long time, etc.

Take your render into Photoshop and paint over it.
You should save all your assets into a library file so you can reuse them, and you should make LOD stand-ins (I'm not sure what the correct name is for this in Maya) so that your scene is populated by low poly primitives (they don't need textures or anything, literally just slightly extruded and labeled cubes is fine) and then you do render passes or some other piecemeal operation.

Do you have a reference image? It doesn't help that the architecture (assuming it's based on a real thing) is ultra modern open concept garage box house made of steel and regret.

In no particular order:
The lighting sucks, we see too much of the background HDRI (assuming it's an HDRI and not a JPEG)
Either crop the image or lower the camera height

There's too much obvious tiling (of the texture) and repetition (of textures and props), the hedges are obviously duplicated side by side
The tree in a planter looks like a 3D asset, it's a boring tree, it's kind of a poor choice (not exotic, no interesting reflections or flowers or fruit, just solid green)
I'm not sure what the white stuff is in the lawn that kind of looks like white garden hose or some sort of divider or something? Either way it's visually uninteresting and even confusing (i.e. a person may not "notice" it but their subconscious is going to say "what is that? I don't like it"); maybe add a pool instead or lawn chairs or lower the camera lens to below 35mm so that you get a sense that the lawn is bigger than it is
The walls enclosing the estate look like weird prison walls, they look like the same kind of material as the covered walkway or car port or whatever; there's also obvious seams / tiling

The furniture inside is hard to see and dull, honestly you should bring all that outside and leave that inside room empty
That roof high window is weird, kitchen windows tend to be chest high and depending on the construction of the home (i.e. being on a slab, being elevated or lowered due to the surrounding terrain features) they tend to be a little more navel/shoulder height

The wood wall is boring, a room like that with high sun windows would be on all sides, that looks like you (or the architect, if real life thing) realized "Oh shit this view sucks, the only thing people will see is the compound walls of their mexican prison cul-de-sac"

Do you have an actual car or car-shaped model to put it on? Suzanne isn't very good, the other objects aren't good either, you need something wide with a lot of surface area and then rounded edges (so a cube with rounded edges)

Thanks for the feedback. It's nice that you mention it looking like a westernized Oni as that is basically what I was going for, but I didn't live up to my own intentions. I initially tried to do something closer to pic related but kept failing. That bloated face was just a reminder that I couldn't achieve this look and the hair certainly kept bothering me. I did try to add a bandanna, go for a sort of pirate / asian hybrid, but that wasn't working either.

This sculpt was also somewhat practice. I intend to try the Oni look again with an actual mask on a character model later. I still haven't done anything to set the theme of the ornate elements in stone.

Besides, this is the first skull I ever sculpt and I am pretty happy with how it came out. It's not super realistic or accurate, but it isn't supposed to be.

Things I think you should adjust:
the eyebrows, the hairs don't have the correct orientation and the individual hairs are too thin
reduce how deep the lines of the face are, like the naso-labial fold as it makes her look old
the sss is a bit too much and the spec is too low
add a higer rez mesh for the pores, they are lacking
above the eyelid, near the bridge of the nose, the form should be convex rather than concave
The anatomy around the mouth needs more love, you're lacking some anatomical landmarks like the mediolis
the bridge of the nose is also too straight, again it's lacking some of the underlying geometry

>> No.752952

To make semi-coom animations right in blender, so no export to game engines or anything.

I've read a post here about quads, anon said triangles are hard to subdivide and I assumed they're hard to subdiv even for a modifier, I mean it eats more computational resources or something like that. Also it's probably good to aim for an ideal only quad topology anyway, for learning purposes.

And for the trigger count, I'm asking just because if someone experienced tells me this rough model has too many tris, then I'm gonna retopo it all from scratch, not only hands, since it's so bad.

Looks like you already know your answer.
Why you had an odd number of verts to begin with is beyond me. You're going to have to have a tri somewhere when you have odd numbers.
Maybe you should stop trying to fuck around with stolen models and make something yourself.

>> No.752966

>>752955
Other people will have different opinions on this, but I think it's best to play around with tris in your subdivided model and see how they behave. Often they become problematic if used in areas that deform (a lot). If you end up with a tri in the fingertip or nail, for example, it will certainly not cause any issues.
Regarding the polycount 10k tris before subdivision is fine (If you put in details like fingernails, toenails, individual teeth you'll end up with more than that). You can easily pump more than 10k quads into the face alone if you want detailed facial animations. The only real concern in that regard is that weightpainting the model for animation get's more tedious at higher poly counts.
(Also blender 2.8 has really shitty subdivision performance, 2.9 will have 10 times better performance apparently and after that, they'll add a GPU based subdivision option.)

Unless it's meant to be used in for realtime rendering, I don't see the point in baking the normals nowdays, just sculpt your details and render the high poly version.
The materials look very clean, I think some slight variation in roughness would help make them look more realistic, unless you're going for the clean look specifically.
Overall it looks nice, I would probably go with a lower thickness of the metal ring in the skull's mouth, but that's just my personal aesthetic preference.

Yes, it is meant for real time rendering. I have it for sale on my Sketchfab page. Even still, the engravings are baked from a vector I made in illustrator. I would not have been able to sculpt those engravings. At least not as cleanly as they are. Which to the other point, yes I was specifically going for a clean look. I wanted this to look like something from out of a museum. Thank you! I tried real hard and spent a lot of time on it. I feel you on the ring though. The major reason for the thick ring is purely an aesthetic reason. I preferred the look of the thick ring. It gives the overall appearance a certain masculinity. Like the difference between rings for men and women generally speaking.

How often do you guys create stuff without copying a specific reference? Be it environment, characters, props or whatever else.

I'm not saying you don't gather references, but you don't straight up 100% recreate a specific concept art. I dislike doing it with my environments, but it definitely slows things down. Sometimes I get amazed how fast people produce something, but then they show a concept they copied and I'm like "meh", it all makes sense then. It simplifies things a lot during production, but it's also not as cool in my eyes anymore. Because actually a majority of time I spend (or waste) when doing concept on my own is getting the angle, lighting and materials work together. I try to minimize going in circles as much as possible, but it's inevitable to a some degree.

I'm at that stage right now, again, and it's irritating and demotivational as always.

I think I am going to have to disagree with you. The average weapon model for modern games is roughly 40k faces, guns in Rainbow Six Siege sit around this point each. CoD Modern Warfare: Remastered weapon models all sit around 25k faces. The weapon models in CS GO, a game designed to run on the most systems on an old engine has an average gun polycount of about 20k and we are literally about to hit the next gen of gaming before the end of the year. I don't think 25k is too much for a modern FPV gun model. Given there certainly are some areas I can optimize some more to further reduce that number, but not by any significant amount.

Do you want her to have huge chunky eyebrows or huge neandertal like brow ridges? It looks like you are working towards the latter right now.
If you want to give her big eyebrows while sculpting model the eyebrows as a plane, shrinkwrap (projection in the positive and negative direction), and a solidify modifier. That should give you a good approximation while you are building the underlying facial features.
Also as >>753914 said sculpt with eyes in it. (It's also annoying to make the sculpt fit to some eye shape later in the process.

I think his eyes are supposed to be smaller, and look at them go deep into the skull in the original.
Cheekbones protruding forward.
Nose more prominent with nostrils pushed back so the piercing bone can be straight while not touching the outer tissue.
Ears smaller.
I'm having doubts about this red fold because it looks like a muscle where there shouldn't be any.

It's not meant to be a 1:1 copy. Just something that has a similar feel.
I thought the swirl added a bit of dynamism rather than just straight lines.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it is, but I'm also kind of thinking it's a shitty screengrab from a cam, or it's just a bad frame to pick.
Pic related isn't AS bad as the other.

Thanks.
Yeah I'm putting a dude in there. Just hadn't gotten around to it yet. It'd be kind of weird for those shots where you should see a driver and there's not one there.

For what it's worth, you can't see it in the other webm, but I have the steering wheel synced up to the movement so it turns with the car (here's a viewport render of what I mean).
Honestly I was kind of pleased with it considering the car movement is all just procedural. It's not perfect, mind you, but for a quick cut to the cockpit view in the dark it should be close enough.
I'm still debating whether or not I want to keep it dark inside, or light it up slightly.

I think maybe having a bit more light come in wouldn't hurt, maybe some dice or another ornament hanging from the rear view mirror? My mind can honestly get lost putting in small little things and details for renders like these! Keep up the good work

I'm kind of an Illustrator, so I took the decision to start learning 3D stuff and such because why not.
As of now, I've been learning the basics for 3 days, BUT now that i've found this board (I only visited /ic/ before as a custom) I see a lot of people saying that "you shouldn't enter Zbrush before even knowing Blender", is that true?
As of now, I only know the basics of organic sculpting, something something materials alphas, have some resources and texture maps saved that I almost don't even know how to use, and as of now I simply don't know how to export my polypaint texture map nor I know how to properly render a model, how should I start learning this? I just know it's better to render using outside software that I haven't picked on, but yeah.
The sticky seems kinda informative at least.
I haven't used a lot of "anatomy" tutorials because I know some basics as an """"""artist""""" but may need to pick some to start with realistic things, although I plan on continuing with more abstract concepts

Literally just do somehing from start to finish. Id recommend not doing a character but a small props if you want to understand how to work from software to software. Like a knife or something; or a box, a simple thing.
Here's all you need to make a pro asset : maya (or blender), zbrush (may not even be needed), substance painter. You can even swap substance painter if you want to texture with maya but if you're starting I recommend substance. Then it's a matter of looking up online how to do shit. For render, it can be done in maya but if you want you can do it in marmoset or unreal. This is the easy part so worry about it later.

hmmm, thanks for the headups! as of now I only know how to use Zbrush, but as I see I should start learning the other softwares as I get an understanding of it. I think substance painter is my next stop, then blender, perhaps, if i'm not satisfied with understanding basic concept sculpting, thank you!

>> No.755080

>>755078
Honestly you're much better starting with blender than substancer painter. If your main interest is doing organic sculpting then okay I suppose you can spend more time on zbrush. But you're gonna have to learn at least the basic of blender to know how to import your model, id map, uv, shit like that.

The reason people say 'you shouldn't enter zbrush before even knowing blender' is because you end up with people that are missing the basic of 3D, and zbrush is a different software than all the 3D package like maya, 3Ds max or blender. You could pretty much do everything you need in zbrush in blender and vice versa. ( https://polycount.com/discussion/134715/to-learn-zbrush-first-then-maya-or-vice-versa it's explain a bit better in the first 5 answers or something)

I don't really do 'organic' stuff, but I have some colleagues who almost only use zbrush for everything. I prefer to use multiple software, but I could also only use zbrush. I think the goal is to be able to choose which way you prefer but not be limited by it.

Yeah I'll definitely light it up a bit more.

As for little detail stuff, I'll ask the musician if he's got any more easter egg things he'd want in the car since it's a paid project. The license plate on the car is one of them (one of the dude's albums).

Really I just want more things to interact with the scene.
I just made the antenna on the car react with everything and it got me more excited than I really should be.
Some dangly bits on the mirror sound like they'd be awesome to add.

In general people usually start with polygonal modeling and texturing to grasp the basics of 3D before they get into sculpting, but if you're comfortable with it and find it fun, just keep going.
You'll have to learn the rest eventually though, that's just the nature of 3D.

Hi /3/ /wip/.
Just asking how I could modify the arm shape to get it a bit more coherent. I used blockout for base shape but can't get to look it like something ok anatomically. Character is supposed to have a lizard-like anatomy.

>> No.755201

>>755075
It depends on how much you're interested in 3D.

If you're really motivated to become good at it, then by all means learn Blender first, do some tutorials, understand how geometry and UVing works. The Donut tutorial by BlenderGuru should give you the basics.

If you want to make full-fledged renders and scenes, then you definitely have to learn Blender or Maya.

Do you have the poly count of your character?

I think it's easier to sculp when you have a basic grasp of shapes and drawing, and a bit of anatomy and stuff of course (I've sculpted in real life tho so that also might help, my biggest problem is understanding how digital texturing and rigging and blahblah works), also, yours is really cool! I haven't got the grasp of sculpting on blender, still concepting on Zbrush, it's really good.
In terms of Polycount, this little guy is closer to a Real life render than a game ready model, don't have the Polycount, but its kinda high

With real life render I meant I didn't care at all about exceding a proper quantity of polygons when sculpting the dude, might try and do a lowpoly resourceful version when I learn more about how that works

Thanks for your answer. I see you expreimentated (and made a good thing) with the beard particles. Maybe a tad bit less around the lips would help, but i don't know ZBrush. I plan to reptopo my character in order to animate it, but first I need to draw expressions (but I draw like a potato with 3 legs and 2 fingers..).
The advantage of real-life sculpting is that you have a theoretically infinite number of polys and volume. (number of polys = molecules of clay, which make up a quite high poly count)

Also, is the "really cool" character the one i just put with this post ? Because it's actually the first positive reply I get from someone, aside from "get out of the board" or other things.
Sorry if this reaction seems weird to you, but finally hearing something positive makes me wanna finish this character as well and fast as I can.

So the actual video will be rendered in Cycles ( >>754962 ) since there's a lot going on in the video that interacts with the light and I think it looks better. Plus motion blur is a big reason. I used to be really into Eevee, but I've kind of started to not like it because I don't think it looks all that good. For certain scenes though it's useful. Just not this one.

>>755062
>>755082
Are quick outputs using Eevee.

Though I am using Eevee on a separate scene to use the bloom pass because I think the glare node is kind of shit for bloom.
Only problem I run into with that, is that if I use markers to change cameras, it doesn't sync over to the other scene. Even when they're linked.

I think I'm glad with my current modeling skills. it's definitely not a big deal, but it's good enough for what I want (indie game dev). time to get good at materials and shaders I guess. this is the first time I've put so much effort into a single mesh, any feedback would be greatly appreciated! this is 1,3k tris now.

planar palms
Knuckles fall on a curve, and the palm is like a shallow bowl. In reality the whokle thing deforms as the fingers move. You can make you palms totally flat but it's unnatural to do it, and if your rig doesnt add that curvature the hands will be stuck that way.
