/3/ - 3DCG

>>798125
Give me feedback on this.
The head is supposed to have a church building that I modeled.

Tell me if I should fuck around with the lightning etc.
Should I also model the head in 3D ?

Rate my low poly. Should I just stick to Zremesh and pray for good topo or keep torturing myself with quad draw in the future?

>>798138
Depends if it's for animation or just for show. Those online viewers can handle a few 100k polys now.

>>798138
not bad at all, edge flow is mostly good
the fingers seem a bit wonky though, and if for animation you could revisit joints like elbows and knees

>Should I just stick to Zremesh and pray for good topo or keep torturing myself with quad draw in the future
proper retopo every time my dude, Zremesh is useful bit it's a shortcut with few actual real applications

>>798151
*is useful BUT

not much left

>>798125
>>798131
The building

>>798138
is 28k verts considered low poly?

>>798164
tris are what matter. it's low poly yes but his 53K is definitely on the high side considering that character

things like the hairband, nips, satchel, etc. should be optimized a lot, and clothing stitches should be removed entirely

this asset when final should be ~20K tris, maximum

>>798166
>worrying about tris THAT much in 2021
>especially on a hero character
Are you producing stuff for mobile games or something?

>>798167
well the goal of low poly is to be optimal, it's a concern for every game company, so the amount should just make sense for what you're creating.. hence my comment

even characters like overwatch are 10-15K

if this other anon's has inconsistent density on his model and areas that need optimization, there's no problem pointing that out

>>798173
Overwatch is a 6 year old game at this point. Its 2021, you point of reference might be slightly off.

>>798173
You should see prop tris counts for UE5. It will be a game changer.

>>798191
>game changer
meaningless overused marketing buzzword

>>798186
You know what I mean. Feel free to bitch on the example all you want if you can at least rebuke the general point? I'm well aware that the latest modern AAA shit can have heroes approaching 100K tris, but a) they tend to be very realistic/complex and b) they are still very well optimized for the required limitations they must live in. Polycounts get bigger and bigger with time, but they still matter.

If you put this >>798138 in your portfolio and it has 50K tris, nobody will think that amount is necessary.

>>798191
Totally!

about 3 days doing this, am I retarded?

I made a big guy today

>>798138
>keep torturing myself with quad draw

>>798206
yes. but it turned out pretty cool

>>798206
If you're a chad who designed it by yourself, then no. Otherwise, you might be if you're just replicating a reference.

Dumped a Zbrush sketch into Marmoset. It's Kingseeker Frampt

Oops, I'm a dumbass, here's the picture

Retopoing on the blockout

>>798232
Any good character modeling tips? Trying to make higher quality models for characters

>>798233
Sorry, I'm afraid I don't have any of my own, it's my first time doing a character...

I'm somewhat following Create3dCharacters's workflow, you could find that worth looking into.

>>798228
I need your feedback on how this looks /3/
>Your game?
Are you asking if this is for a game? No its for basically 3D version of MS-Paint pictures that are so often used.

Here is where I use the buildings >>798131
I like some feedback if I need to mess with the contrast more and if I should also model the Satan head in 3D.

Here is a version where I messed with the contrast of the head since to me it blended to much with the background.

You notice the entire thing is a mixture of over detailed stained glass (pictures that I got from the internet) some texture painting for the door and flat colors for the roof and walls.

Comment on all of it.

based schizo poster

Working on my own interpretation of the light-cycle from Tron. A bit based off of the original film, and a bit based off of the newer one. Though it's not really any one specific model, rather I'm taking elements that I like from reference and making my own.

I'm pretty new to modelling organic/curvy hard-surface stuff (I mostly do landscapes and less organic hard-surface), so it's been a bit of a challenge trying to get the shape where it is.
Even now I'm sure I'm making all sorts of fuckups I'm going to regret later in terms of edge-flow. Though I think getting the silhouette is a bit more important rather than losing the form as you try to make perfect flow.

>>798125
started retopoing this thing

>>798125
VTMB2 looks like shit I'm going to make some kind of fan game, so I remade one of the characters just to test the visual style but in HD, it's simple, just how I want it. less than 10k tris, but I haven't redone the mouth.

>>798138
>53k tris
>low poly
Am I missing a meme because I don't post here?

>>798272
More quads, less tris, use topology reference.

>>798248
>based schizo poster
This made me laugh.
However rate the 3D work there not the text.

This trash?

>>798273
tris are temporary, quads are eternal

>>798339
yo thats some real nice topo <3

>>798339
Looks fine.

>>798339
Nice dog.

>>798339
Good shit my man.

>>798339
>tris are temporary, quads are eternal
Cool quote, my dude. I'm stealing it.

quite painful to model, tbqh

>>798408
nice curves

>>798398
take my upvote!

trying to get better at modeling faces, but there's something going on with the lips in 3/4th view and I hate it

>>798264
Some more progress on the light-cycle.
Still trying to figure out what I want to do for the bit beneath the canopy, so for now there's a cube in the rough size that I want it to be.
If anyone has any ideas of some interesting shapes or anything that might work, I'm open to suggestions.

For what it's worth, the wireframe is less of a nightmare now, but still pretty bad I think.

Decided to port >>790328 to garry's mod, rigging was aids but it's better than nothing

https://files(dot)catbox(dot)moe/82z7h2.zip feel free to upload to the workshop or whatever you 3d people do

>>798463
remove that grug underbite

>>798285
i dont know what you really expect people to say other than
"learn more"
the building is flat colors (poor color choices, at that) with some inconsistent resolution textures (why is the door a blurry mess while the stained glass windows have relatively sharp textures?)
the geometry has too many polygons where it doesnt matter and too little where it does
look at how sharply the roof transitions to walls, or how you can see a sharp edge at the arch of the doorway
tl;dr git gud

I very slowly understanding what the fuck I'm doing.

>>798500

quick sculpts I did last week

>>798565
Base meshes don't count, retard.

>>798580
I literally made this you mouthbreather

>>798565
Where's the penis?

>>798583
Gonna sculpt it at the end of this week when I fix the janky ass hands

>>798584
0/10 no penis.

Making progress on my Arthur. Got in the groove with zmodeler and was able to retopo everything and fix my wobbly geometry and apply creasing with dynamic subdiv.

>>798675
Armor is an improvement. I'm honestly surprised that you somehow managed it. I'd say good job, but I don't want you to get too big for your breeches.
Now fix the face.

>>798675
you will never be a good 3d modeler

>>798675
nightmare fuel

>>798699
why

>>798700
The stylized armour doesn't work with the realistic hands, and weirdly-made face model, he looks like a fucking whomp from mario 64.

>>798702
this, among dozens of other things

>>798702
>>798703
alrighty then

>>798675
So manly he doesen´t need lips, only beard!

>>798675
Use reference you multi nigger.

Making a thing

>>798732
looks bad

i need to fix the ear piece part. but inspired from a still from seinfeld

>>798272
>>798339
Nice, are you using any addon or just retopoing raw. I tried without addons on Blender and it was shit

>>798732
my good sir I think that bench takes way too much space in the composition

>>798835
Raw. Basic tools are really based imo

>>798837
Looking nice
Never tried with organic models but the one time I used it for a hard surface mod it was shit ,sinking into the mesh and being barely workable, and this was using just skinwrap+snapping. Which is why I am sticking for multires for now like for pic related.

>>798839
that's a happy boi
the trick is to enable "in front" in viewport display options

>>798554
Yup

>>798675
Pull up an existing piece of concept art from like Artstation or something and sculpt from it. Spitballing a design when you're starting to sculpt never works usually. Ignore the other fags in the thread and do a new piece based off said concept art. Also, study basic anatomy principles like how eyes and lips are shaped, even if it's "stylised".

>>798920
>Also, study basic anatomy principles like how eyes and lips are shaped, even if it's "stylised".
anon, its true to the reference. Post discarded ;/

Uhhhh... what do you think, bros?

>>798935
Looks bad ngmi

>>798935
I like it!

>>798935
There's too much light on the left props. Is it intentional?

The rope next to the crate needs to crumple.

>>798935
I saw this posted months ago. Wtf, are you stuck?

>>798921
oh good, it's another blind guy. i'm getting more and more convinced that giving feedback to beginners is a waste of time because if they can't judge their own stuff then you can't help them anyway.

>>798949
lmao

>>798921
Just ignore nay sayers, there's a community on /vg/ called /vrg/ that thinks they know everything because they frankesnteined TDA deviant arts with booth.pm models

>>798675
>>798921
It doesn't look as smooth as the reference, I think the mouth needs to be wider

>>798826
Does this look real bros??

>>798826
>>798953
I don't know anything about ear pieces to be qualified to say anything, but to me it looks good.

>>798954
ye i guess i meant the composition in general

>>798970
The render looks really nice to me I like the translcuent effect on the plastic in ear bit

>>798921
There's a lot of stuff wrong with it in that case. A key skill is to actually know what's wrong with your sculpt in relation to your ref, so like how the beard and eyebrows itself are sculpted instead of painted on, and how minor details such as the shape of the facial features go together to make a quality piece. I'd honestly suggest doing a few sculpt studies to actually understand form and stuff. Why not revisit this sculpt when you know how to get shapes from a ref ?

>>798935
lighting is wack and feels like a map in a source engine map editor. the hay drapes weirdly but all the other props are pretty well done all things considered ;]

>>798992
if i wanted to sculpt the eyes bros and beard i would have but i didnt care to.

>>798995
Stop posting.

>>798935
as >>798948 said, you posted this a while ago and I think you even pushed it further than what you just showed, are you redoing the project ?
Anyway, if you're going for a realistic look, then the biggest thing standing out to me are the ropes, they look like a cable mesh with a rope texture slapped on top, I'd definitely model them as proper ropes and make sure that they bend around other meshes in the scene properly.
I'll give the same suggestions I gave last time: I think dust (both on objects and floating in the air), some cobwebs hanging from the ceiling and in the corners, and overall more dirt would go a long way to give it a more gritty look you'd expect to see in a scene like that. I'd also tone the light down a bit, it looks a bit too bright to me. It also seems like there is some ambient light present besides the one obviously coming through the window, for a realistic looking result you definitely want to only work with physical lights that make sense in the scene. I hope you finish this one.

>>798998
stop telling the most consistently funny poster on this board not to post, you psycho. what the fuck is wrong with you

>>799001
yeah ur right, my bad

>>799001
can we have a /retard/ general for that? so he doesn't shit the normal threads

>>798998
*stop giving irrelevant crits

>>799004

>>799003
i think the optimal solution would be to ban everyone else but him from posting images in /wip/ threads

>>799006
I support this.

>>799006
>>799011
why? Why do you care so much who posts and where? Do you want to become a janitor as a career?

>>798675
masterpiece

>>799014
or perhaps it was a joke you drooling sperg

>>798675
My dick is DOUBLY erect right now.

>>798675
did someone crush his maxilla? that's fuckin sexy dude

>>798995
>>798998
What if he's using substance painter to get the illusion of depth with mask painting height/normal maps?

>>799030
damn i'm imagining this right now. he is a legend for doing this

>>799031
And the shittily painted eyebrows and beard are just placeholders to get a general idea of what it will look like?
I'm not a sculptor, so subtle details like that I usually end up either using 3 edge loops to hold an edge, or I end up painting it with mask painting heightmaps in substance...

Something to note here is that I am not using subdividing modifier for this project, I have a specific and tight tri goal of beneath 10k I need and want, and a secondary goal of the higher poly being less than 30k is possible, and 70k hard limit.
Right now I can easily get a high quality < 30k going, and from this base I can reduce the quality of the mesh shape in places ot make it reach 10k, possibly using gloves and shoes as a big helper.

>>799030
then he's a fucking moron then lol shitty workflow

>>799034
What the fuck is wrong with getting height information via masking in Substance Painter? it's quite an optimized workflow I've done myself on projects you may of seen since they're in youtube vids with millions of views.

Sculpting isn't my cup of tea at all. I'm never making anything hyper realistic anyways, besides maybe some props, which I then translate into a different style by the end anyways.

This is a workflow I learnt from a professional, btw.

>>799036
didn't you say sculpting was your passion? why the change of heart, brother? :(

>>799037
I've never once said sculpting is my passion, I'm a box modeller, and if I were to ever sculpt, I'd do it on top of a low poly box modelled object for details like cracks or bumps or stuff I can normally just do in substance painter

>>799036
word salad stop seething and learn how to sculpt you fucking bozo this isnt hard surface modelling

>>799039
You end up retopoing via box modelling at the end of sculpting which proves sculpting to be a un needed step, you can get the details you want in others ways, I'll someday learn sculpting but my workflow will remain box modelling first, sculpting for details later to back them in via maps in substance

>>799040
wdym "back them up" baking from high poly to low poly is a given but it's so stupid and roundabout to put details that should be sculpted on through substance, also you box modelling your characters is why it looks so janky lol, learn how to blockout man

>>799038
mb thought you were the Damaged Will Smith guy

>>799040
I used to share your mindset, but sculpt first retopo later is a much quicker workflow. Of course I don't mean hardsurface, as I think hardsurface sculpting is ass.

>>798504

>>799042
Enjoy your retarded poly count and shitty topology dumb nigger
>>799044
I'm just not a sculptor so this is my workflow, I'm making an anime loli so there's literally no reason for me to sculpt

>>799049
actual fucking retard holy shit do you know anything about decimation master or any kind of retopo fucking top yourself faggot

>>799049
good god the braindead dilettantes on this board

>>799051
>Retopo
Oh right you mean BOX MODELLING OVER YOUR SCULPT AS A REFERENCE
Git better at 3d visualization, faggot.
>>799053
I know, right? They think sculpting is the ONLY workflow kek

>>799054
homie i'm talking about you and all the board tourists that think there's a legitimate divide between poly-modelers and sculptors

>>799065
You're clearly showcasing a divide, I'm a box modeller and not a sculptor, I was tutored 1 on 1 by a professional who works with Oculus for his modelling, he taught me his workflow which doesn't involve sculpting.

I just am not a sculptor, I was not taught it, and I am not learning it any time soon. It will eventually be learnt because I will eventually find a specific use case scenario, as you need specific tools for certain jobs.

You are over using sculpting and over reliant on it.

>>799037
I'll be honest, I also thought it was willy smith, but even that guy said "caricatures are my passion" or some shit. Even though he literally just started doing them the post before.

>>799070
i'm not the guy you think you're replying to. i do both because like any sane person i realize they work best in tandem

Tell me why I should ever use sculpting when I can proportionally edit a lower poly model with better topology results for the model I am trying to make, especially when you end up "retopoing(LITERALLY REMODELLING WITH BOX MODELLING LMMMMMMMMAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)" anyways

>>799073
I haven't had any reason to bring out sculpting, I've tried to bring it out a few times for smoothing vertices here and there but I get better results autistically selecting vertices in a specific pattern with edge select shrink/fatten or just a normal scaling, and smooth vertice function

>>799076
guessing you work exclusively npr then

i remember a time when /wip/ was for work in progress and not debates and endless low quality trolling

>>799078
What's NPR mean? I work exclusively with lower poly non realistic models, yes. Anime style 99% of the time.

>>799079
Yeah. It's always no fucking posts all day and all of a sudden you get two retards losing their shit with debates that lead nowhere.
The worst thing is that shit debate currently happening right now can be found in almost every thread on /3/, it's always the same shit. No wonder this board is so dead.

>>799082
>>799079
Post your wips, then, you useless faggots

>>799082
All I did was post my work in progress and some self entitled cunt wants to tell me to some dumb shit about fucking sculpting and trying to tell me my models are shit then start namedropping people from /vg/ /vrg/ like a bunch of troons

>>799083
I did a few times, but no one cares unless it's unbelievably good or unbelievably bad. Or there's some glaring mistake or something that they didn't catch.

>>799084
These threads used to be good, but some trolls have taken over and constantly want to prove some point and wont stop posting until they "win", making the thread and the whole board really nasty

>>799094
They're the VRChatters from /vrg/

>>799095
no

>>799094
They are archiving way too quick now. Before a thread might be up for a month or more. I suppose I'm adding to the problem by talking about it.

>>799102
As the dude who's been making them, I've even been having trouble keeping up with them. I only really pop in every so often to check up on things, but it feels like I've had to do 3 threads in the span of a week and a half. Before it'd be much longer, and they'd also actually be filled with people doing work.
Guess it just goes to show what happens when someone throws a wrench in the works and how something that should be insignificant like Willy Smith or Ghouls and Ghosts anon can completely de-rail a thread and ripple on.

>>799097
Yes
>>788323
They occasionally link their discord tranny faggots here it's why qualities gone down

>>799103
Who the fuck is Will Smith shut up

please tell me that I'm gonna make it

>>799147
Time to get a better unwrap with seams

>>799105
>>795018
Now post some wip or get out :^)

>>799156
He seems based as fuck

god damn do I hate weight painting

Very early wip. If I don't make it I probably kms.

>>799191
looks really nice, you will make it

>>799147
Nice surfaces, I'd like to see it properly shaded and rendered.

>>799187
are you trying to do facial expressions? maybe shape keys would work better for you?

>>799200
Trying to shore up my skills and put them to use in an indie game, mostly experienced with props and lower poly stuff where expressions were basically just animated textures

>>799191
You're gonna make it.

>>798206
Sweet.

>>799191
ngmi

>>798900
That's some really sexy topology

>>798273
I got carried away and made a second character, and rigged the characters, and made clothes, but I'm just going to post them without clothes, because I can, Now that I'm happy with how the characters look, I'm going to start porting them into the game engine and building the game, the hard part, but doable, legitimately doable, and with that it's onto AGDG, once I have at least something playable, hopefully in a few weeks.
I'm aware of the rigging issues.

>>798921
Stop thinking in 2 dimensions, that's the only advice I will give you.

>>799191
With that sort of skill how are you not going to make it?

>>799147
You already made it. The modelling is the hardest part.

>>799231
Here's a higher resolution pic of the character, just so details are easier to make out.

>>799231
Is your game going to be a remake of the original bloodlines or something else entirely? Also, do you plan on doing this alone?

>>799234
Face looks like a tranny, rest is fine. You really did it fast considering you also rigged the bitch

>>799235
It's something completely different, you don't play as a Vampire at all, and while there are overlaps with the RPG system, first person, dialogue etc. it's core gameplay is very different, but I'm aiming to have feature parity with VTMB, so that in theory someone could take the game and use the modding tools to recreate VTMB completely, it will also contain loads of assets for reuse in any potential VTMB fan remake.
I'm the only one working on, I'm not a good writer, that's the biggest gap I have.

>>799234
>face looks like a tranny
Trannies wish they looked that good, but her face is quite angular, these are just test characters, anway, I will be making entirely new faces instead of making ones based off the VTMB characters, the Heather I posted above is almost completely accurage, I sharpened up Velvet Velours chin, her original one was wider and more bulbous.

>>799238
>>799240
And obviously the tranny comment was meant for you.

New to 3d. How does it look, boys?

>>799240
>Trannies wish they looked that good
I don't know, man. First thought was that it is a model of Contrapoints, and wondered where is the dick. I'm serious.

>>799261
did you use keyshot for this

>>799264
yessir

>>798154
I like it. Wish I could model vehicles better. Mine always look like ass.

>>799266
it has that keyshot look. You should really use arnold

>>799263
>First thought was that it is a model of Contrapoints
same lol. it's a very masculine jawline.

How the fuck do I replicate this kind of hair sub 1k polys and without alpha

>>799345
what's next? no texture?
you don't

>>799231
as i said before ngmi

>>799263
A lot of the problems are from the original characters face, the cheek bones are ridiculously high and wide, the jaw is huge, forehead is huge, eyes are really wide and sharp, I was kind of fighting with the original face mesh, VTMB with it's per tri lighting and baked textures does a good job at hiding these, faces are reused constantly, VV and Jeanette have the same face, even though both are easily main characters, Heather shares her face with maybe a dozen characters, even though she's a missable but important part of the game, there's a hostess that you speak to once who has a unique face and body.
I'd say one of the problems with the original game is that most of what you see of other characters is their dialogue which is all front on, so a lot of depth details are completely unseen, most people don't even realize that Damsel has a serious case of ducklips.

>>799358
Stop spamming "ngmi" like a retard. I see it in every thread now.

>>799414
I see that on every board now, it came from /biz/ and spread everywhere.
It's just the meme of the month, retards enjoy overusing these catchphrases everyone else uses and giggle to themselves.

>>799426
it's been an /ic/ thing for years

First time doing anything 3D ever and I'm pretty proud of myself, doesn't feel as clumsy as drawing. Or, maybe I just suck at drawing.

>>799414
>getting this butthurt about the meme of the month

>>799439
looking great so far

>>799460
thank u fren

My Arthur has redone legs and leg armor!! Had some trouble with the topo of the feet because i didnt start with a qcube but wont make that mistake next time.

>>799527

>>799527
It's decent compared to your first version and you learned how to use zmodeler, you should call this one done and do something else, otherwise you're wasting too much time on this particular one.
Do him again in a few months like you did before.
You never listen to objective criticism, so all that is left for you is let this one settle for a while and be your own judge, but you did indeed improve, I give you that.

This has to be the only place on the internet where people actively say 3D isn't an art. Maybe it isn't to you if you're doing CAD or recreating some vehicle parts for a living. It's a wide medium and some areas require more creativity than others.

>>799616
Because this place rids you of any pretense, and noone is more pretentious than wannabe artists

>>799617
Oh, so even calling oneself an artist is now pretentious? I don't see this being a thing in other industries. It's not like anyone tried saying they are some master artist superior to everyone else on this board. Even a ton of 3D job positions have a word "artist" in their name, what's the big deal?

>>799619
>Oh, so even calling oneself an artist is now pretentious
>now
Dude that’s pretty much the most pretentious thing in existence of the whole concept

>>799619
>what's the big deal?
Most people here work as modelling slaves and the people above them are pretentious mediocre people that know how to sell themselves and always present themselves as smug artists.
It's low self esteem and spite.
Being pretentious to sell yourself is the way to go as long as you don't delude yourself into taking it too serious.

>>799621
This is what I think as well. I also see it in other areas. I had a cinematography teacher always saying how THEY are the ones who do all of the important work while the director just talks nonsense and has unrealistic ideas.

Idk, seems to be a personal problem and spite like you say. I'm not an art director nor a concept artist, I only do that with my own personal projects. But I have nothing against them. I don't see that term as pretentious at all t b h. I consider what I do "art" as well, especially personal stuff I create and put a lot of thought into. Why wouldn't it be? We're all artists in one way or another.

I fucking love it

Thanks. I hope someone appreciates me as much as you do and fucking hire me already.

an old file I found on my computer, I think I never finished because I thought the concept was so freaking cheesy. Don't know if I should continue, but also don't know what to change to not make it cringe

What feces viscosity did you use? Looks exactly like my dookie I took this morning. I love it!

I don't know if it's sarcasm or not but thanks lol

Embrace the cringe and turn it into full blown 80s XTREME aesthetic.

Yea that's what I was going for, some sort of jacked punk monster, but god damn it look cringe

I've been slacking off on my anatomy skillz. I cheated by lining up a base mesh with the block out. One thing I learned from a china tutorial is to use real 3d scans and copy them just enough to get the forms right while relying on top of 2d refs.

>>798333
lookin good bro

Starting on the predator. Made a base mesh with sculptris pro and retopod in zbrush. Put in some placeholder eyes and dreads. Looks like I have an edge loop creased by accident on the top of the helmet. Looking to do the predator underneath in unmasked form as well as in full armor

Well, if there's one thing the chinks are good at, it's copying shit, well that and fucking the world up the ass.

Still, gonna try that trick sometime.

>>799901

calves, ankles and feet all seem slightly too large on the female
the skin seems to connect too low at her armpit
her hands are quite thick too

Awesome )) I should make Artur as well at some point...

you know I thought it was weird we didn't have a zbrush thread here but I'm realising the WIP thread is actually the zbrush thread

>>799977
Why would you want a “software” thread?

>>799979
yeah it's not like zbrush has a lot of zbrush specific knowledge people would wanna discuss

>>798504
you might eventually make it

Noice. Is the miniature look intentional?

>>800001
Thx. Yep, it is. I'm creating multiple small scenes like this one, hopefully I'll turn it into a short film in the end.

>>800002
You need to make a fake episode of Thomas the Tank Engine

>>800009
LOL. Thanks for mentioning it though, this is actually another good reference for me to study the miniatures. At least the old stop-motion episodes, I see they switched to 3D at some point.

>>800010
Yes and they're awful, soulless. There's a lot of love put into the original stuff, however. Ironically, despite there being less animation overall (and probably being much more expensive) the puppetry is leagues above the CG stuff.

>>798131
wow. you are very theologically retarded

Theologically, anything goes. Ex contradictione quodlibet.

Continuing my predator. Had trouble with my eye loop retopology - had a real tough time trying to get eye rings. Whenever I went to place a new edge loop to define the eye it would run all the way around the head. I'll have to bounce around to maya with goz more and try their retopo in conjunction with zmodeler. Will have to work on that. Learned how to displace in arnold after I exported displacement map from zbrush.

Fixed some minor creasing issues on the helmet. Body's next ;)

Updatez...

>>800094

>>800099
put some memory folds and it will look more gorgeous

>>800100
I see the similarity, kek.

>>799862

Not happy with blockout. Used D.va's low poly base mesh for proportions then sculpted details.

>>800118
What specificaly don't you like other than the hands, the knees, and the hips, is she supposed to be that toned, probably move her abdomen muscles more weighted to the center rather than the sides, breasts shouldn't have so much fat so close to her collar bones.

>>800120
>>800118
>and the hips
More talking about the pelvic bones, I don't think that's quite right.

this is beautiful. well done

I've got no idea where I was going with this. Mostly just trying to find an aesthetic, I think.

Shoutout to World4Jack if he sees this. Glad you enjoyed the snap node trick, put a smile on my face when you did a tutorial video on it.

>>799998
This is beautiful. Almost looks like it could be frames from a stop motion animation.

I don't know what I'm doing but I made a nice swoopy. I should probably draw this character in crayon or something first...

Have you considered just getting good with one or two pieces of software instead of stringing together a chain of them so that you can milk them all for the most automated features?

You obviously have at least some basic level of artistic competence, but rather than overcoming your struggles with operating the software, you're continually picking the path of least resistance to the most immediate results, and what you're getting is a very convoluted process to something that's only just approaching passable.

tl;dr version: You could be producing much better results if you took the time to learn how to do things properly instead of looking for ways to do things with minimal understanding.

>>800118
central part is a bit too thin in relation to the body and forearms are too large in relation to the shoulders but other than that looks pretty ok

>Now try sculpting it by hand like a real chad artist, just like everybody did throughout the history.

People sculpting physical materials don't have to wory about topology, poly count and litany of other things unique to digital 3D art.

Yeah, definitely increase the lighting intensity, and think about adding a few more light sources. Read about studio lighting setup and analyze other product renders. I'd also suggest to zoom in more, I know you probably want to show the pillow as well, but it's hard to see the main subject. Try to increase the light size so the shadow isn't so sharp.

>>800297
appreciate the feedback. I guess for more context I was going off this still from seinfeld

>>800298
Np. Ah, I see, yeah, notice how even here the subject is clearer with a stronger light and a little bit more zoom. Also it might be nice to make the ground material more interesting by adding some dust particles. That pattern in the original looks cool to me as well, you could also try creating your own pattern and multiplying it with the base texture.

A useful thing to do is to take both images in Photoshop and overlay them. Then go back and forth between them and all the differences will be easier to notice.

>>800099
I can't for the life of me figure out how to detail armor like that. Super impressive

Actual artistic and drafting skill, there's no shortcut to quality.

>>800308
some people make their livelihoods just studying design motifs let alone carving them, I wouldn't be discouraged because there's literal thousands of years propping up the artform

>>800309
I don't have any experience, I'm just good at studying stuff quickly, so books like this might be a good starting point.

>>798470
Some more of the light cycle. It's been a while since I got to work on it mainly because I had to work on some other things.
I'm starting to figure out what I want to do with the bottom section. I figure something angular would kind of work with the organic shapes up top. Though I'm still kind of feeling it out. I want some kind of machine bits under there, but I've got to kind of imagine how something like this shit even works.
Would like to hear some of your thoughts and suggestions of what to do with this area though if you've got any good ideas.

I started to play around with basic materials too to see how I might color it later on. Ultimately I'll take it into Substance Painter and give it the full treatment once I finish modelling it.
Right now there's a little line on the front wheel thing, I've got the canopy and wheels as separate meshes for now, but I'll make them one continuous mesh once I get further along.
