/3/ - 3DCG

haha faggot

>>786603
So you lost some stolen models and shitty assets for a portfolio you hadn’t started yet. Anon pull yourself out of tunnel vision.

You probably haven’t made anything worthwhile up to this point. Just start your magnum opus now like you intended to, without all the shortcuts and leaning on your past shitty work. If it wasn’t shitty, you’d be an employed 3D artist by now.

>>786607
Yeah you're right I needed that slap in the face.
fuck all that baggage i got nothing to lose now
thank you anon

>>786603
the most valuable thing on my pc is the bookmarks i have on my web browser. i have over 1k bookmarks all categorized and backed up. also, my smart materials and HDAs, again all backed up to the clouds...

>>786603
>ill try to build back up from knowledge i gained over these years
Build what back up? You could make a folio piece from scratch using only maya in a couple of days if you actually where learning about cg not just collecting trash

>>786613
>couple days
>portfolio piece

lolwut

>>786615
Probably a tiny prop.

Just use this as an oportunity to get rid of old art shit and create a newer more polished portfolio.

Your portfolio should be your best pieces, not whatever crap you have on your pc.

>>786603
So? You get that HDD and fuckin fill it up bitch

hey anon, theres a video I found on youtube literally uploaded yesterday that has almost all likes and seems like it can decrypt the files. Search "Nobu virus (ransomware). How to decrypt .Nobu files. Nobu File Recovery Guide." on youtube. Not sure if I can post links here without getting b&

>>786615
>>786619
U guys gonna make a still from a feature film for a folio piece? retards no one is hiring for that role, just make 2 good models, or texture 2 good models, if you are good enough to do the job you'd be good enough to make a folio piece

>premium malwarebytes
>visited sketchy site
>downloaded ransomware

This is bait right? You can't genuinely be this fucking stupid.

>>786603
Anon, I feel you.

But in theses two years you've learned more which means your faster. Make a new asset every two weeks and upload it to artstation and model sites.

Set this as your target.

>>786603
>pirate antivirus
>get virus
Oh the irony.

Don’t you have this?

>>786603
This is why you use external HHDs, or install some something other than Malewarebytes.

>>786816
It's bait. I don't believe anyone on this website, on this board, learning tedious ass shit like 3D jazz could be this retarded.

>>786807
Couple of days is not a lot of time, don't know why you're talking about a feature film still. That would take even longer. If you think that's too long for a single prop and are also suggesting to just make 2 good models, are you seriously saying one could build a portfolio in a few days?

>>786603
I have a couple of usbs and Dropbox but I haven't updated them in months, I haven't done shit in months neither :^)

>>786868
yes i could make a folio that would get me a job as a junior in game art in 1 sitting

>>786823
I have never backed anything up to an sd card in my life

>>786871
prove it

>>786871
What kind of work would that be? Definitely not environment or character art I assume.

You'd have to invest at least 10 hours for a small to medium sized polished prop, which could be done in one sitting, if that's what you mean. But is 1 prop enough?

I know that 1 environment can be enough though, as that's the only thing I had and I was getting job offers from it, but it took me a month to create. Current projects I'm working on are already a few months long. I don't have props in my portfolio.

>>786871
Let me guess: using Blender, right?

>>786876
an environment always has props

>>786609
lol

There's a very small chance that your particular cryptolocker was cracked by an AV lab and you can find how to decrypt your files.

But get a NAS or a cloud account and start backing your stuff. Do it today.

>>786888
Well sure, but I don't feel like I'm ever giving my 100% to an individual prop when I do environments because of the much bigger scope. Most props are not a hero quality in that case because that micro detail usually won't be seen. I focus on the bigger picture when I do environments and can't put a dozen hours on literally everything. When you only focus on a single asset you want to showcase in a portfolio you can go full autism mode.

>>786603
haha dumbass

>>786913
I only use external HDDs because I never trusted the cloud. Also I have shitty interwebz

>>786603
Dues paid.
Get a cheap NAS and backup your shit next time.

>>786873
I am living proof
>>786876
if 10 hours isnt one sitting then youre not gonna make it
>>786879
no maya master race
>>786888
props are all the same if you can make 1 good one you can make 100 good ones, except cloth
>>786914
exactly and 1 hero env prop can be done in 1 sitting, and if u cant do that u dont deserve the job anyways

>>786603
You might have lost the files but you still have the knowledge and experience from grinding. Start anew

>>786603
your PC is not a storage device get a external HDD or google drive

Quick related question.

Does anybody know how effectively a ransom encryption works. Does it encrypt all files, the entire drive, or is just some lockout type of faux encryption. If it's a soft lockout thing then all someone needs to do is connect their hdd to another pc as a secondary drive, using the OS on the primary hdd or ssd to navigate the files and move them.

>>789214
AFAIK, typical ransomware really encrypts the files.

has anyone gotten ransomware from peers or is it trustworthy?

>>786603
This tale makes no sense.
OP. Your tale makes no sense.
WTF did YOU lose that YOU ACTUALLY MADE?

>>789216
It's normally only elliptic curve based encryption.... and the NSA cracked that a decade ago, if that paper by that Polish or Romanian mathematician is anything to go by.

WHAT DOES THE REDDIT FROG HAVE TO DO WITH THAT OP?

>>786696
eh i tried that but no hope i just reinstalled windows and started anew

>>789546
yes i lost all 3D files

>>786820
>>787892
>>788849
>>787101
yeap thats the plan now thanks anons

>>786816
>>786864
i wish i was kidding, i was gonna torrent some shit i needed but i wanted online protection before doing it, after bit of searching found out that 99% of anti viruses slow your PC down so that you buy their "premium" version and finally operate at normal speed, they're also invasive and hard to get rid of
so only real protection left was malwarebytes but you need full version for online protection

now do you think someone who needs malwarebytes for torrenting shit was gonna pay for that full version
so ironically i got infected by what i was trying to protect myself with

>>786603
If you are new to 3d then get used to this.
If you stay in this field long enough you wont even care about your 10+ year old files, you will be busy making new shit.
And if you work in a studio at the end of 3 years of work you might be told "ok, this projects is getting shut down, delete everything" and you cant even show what you have spent 3 years on to anybody. Had this happen twice before, but luckily we didnt go long post prototype.

Its good to throw up finished images to a folio. If its was just some librarry of premade shit then you lost nothing

>>786607
Good post.

>>786607
BASED post.

God I wish some ransomware would hit my collection and force me to start over. I'm not even joking.

>>786603
Yet another poor sod learns about the importance of having a backup strategy.

>>786607
this. most likely all that was shit. when you are biggigner there's nothing to cling on, really. you progress and learn this so fast, all your experience and tools get outdated in months.

you gonna make it, op

>>786603
serves you right

>>786603
This is what happens when you allow any moron to operate a computer.

Hey man get an SSD, regular hard drives can fail on you when you most need em too

>>786607
BLESSED post

>>786603
what fucking sites do you use?
24 years of this fucking shit and i have never had that kind of shit happen.
like, holy fuck anon.
why would you go on 4chin and tell lies like this?
you could be making triple A hyper realistic anime assets like final fantasy level but instead you come here and lie.
wtf anon. wtf.

Does anyone have the Margret Moonlight from NMH xnalara rip?

>>786603
tip on ransomware, shit ransomware encrypt the files while the program is open, disconnect the pc and recover the hdd to try to get whats not encrypted

>>786603
I can make such a computer virus in no time. Serves you right. You defintly choose a brain dead profession. Those files were probably important to you. I hope that you won't recover anything.

>>796656
kys

>>796658
I won't kill myself because some retard lost his 3D vertexes. But me being crusified as Jesus is of course up for discussion.

>>796669
nah, just kys mate

>>796670
That's perfect.

>>796656
based

>>790428
Reinstall windows basically the same shit

>>796669
>vertexes
UGH I am SO triggered right now

>>786603

Sorry to hear that, but I hope you learned. If those were client files you would be FUCKED and potentially sued if it were a big job. Backup is basic day one shit.

>>786603
go on your phone and look up how to remove the ransomware you low level grandma

there's always a solution somewhere
last time it happened to me, norton had a small .exe that I could just run and it cleared everything up.. it's panicking, sure, but can be fixed

>>786871
garbage b8
nobody hires someone based on shitty work done in 1 sitting

2years of building your portfolio and you have nothing posted online? No artstation?

I don't believe it. One of the best things in a portfolio is showing progression and that you can learn.

>>786603
I don't buy it, are you saying 2years of work and who knows how much lost time in the future to get back to where you were isn't worth $980?
