>>915718
what is the point of this "hobbit looking hole"? Shouldn't you work on your texturing skill more before trying to attempt a piece like this or at least, keep this kind of "result" to yourself?

>>915721
You niggers say shit like this and people wonder why no one wants to come here.

>>915724
no one wants to come here because
1) you use racial and sexual slurs and putdowns
2) this place is known for being on the extreme far right
3) this place is known for doxxing people

>>915728
This entire website does those first 2 things, and /ic/ does that last one, but people still go there.

>>915729
people go to /ic/ because it is more popular in general. Most people there are absolutely terrible

>>915728
Muh racial and sexual slurs... go to reddit, u wont have any type of criticism or even a feeling that u talk with someone alive.. literal NPC conversations.

>>915731
I am a person of color who faces racism every day, who speaks 4 languages, knows 10+ programming languages, and has multiple people in my family who are non binary / LGBTQ. I dont have time this level of intolerance. You are the reason no one wants to post here. You would be cancelled absolutely everywhere else.

>>915732
Good for you, now post a WIP or go moral be a moralist prude somewhere else

>>915733
I dont post work on this hellhole, I only critique which is why I critiqued the OP for wasting time on that abomination of a forced meme

>>915730
/ic/ also has a shit ton of resources. The piracy general here is dead.

>>915735
you dont get good resources here from "piracy general". Literally the only good, relevant resources you can get are official recorded streams directly from SideFX, hosted on youtube

Posting a wip seems like a daunting task considering the direction this thread has gone. I may as well post my shitty deer-dragon thing in hopes it will encourage others to post their models instead of turning this into a drama thread.

>>915732
This post reads like a copy pasta, but I can't find it being used anywhere else. I plan to use it for my fun posting, though.

Here is my attempt at making this building in blender

>>915739
>I plan to use it for my fun posting, though.
Why "make fun" of someone else's struggle with being discriminated against on a daily basis and simultaneously whine about why "no one posts here"? You do know that hate and racism / sexism / bigotry have no place here, on blue boards, yes?

Okay, I think I'm happy with my Gondola rig. Some extreme poses deform in less than ideal ways, particularly around the knee cap, but I think it's fine for what I plan to use it for. I don't plan to ever do any extreme close ups, so I think I'm satisfied with this. Time to finish the scene tomorrow.

Easy night at work. Working on this. It's gonna look good.

>Everyone who disagrees with me is the same guy!!!

I wanted to make an environment that was closer to the ps2 aesthetic. I don't know if I got it right, but I liked the result.

>>915751
that is nice

>>915751
very nice! It's relaxing to look at and I think you really nailed it. 9.25/10. A few tips if you want to further sell the aesthetic.
>Use vertex lighting
>Remember that ps2 textures almost exclusively had at most 256 colors per texture
>Render at a lower resolution
>Use a 4:3 aspect ratio. I know some games like Ace Combat 5 had 16:9 support, but this was unusual.

>>915751
Close enough for me to like it anon

>>915751
Looks good. Try some baked lighting.

I should be better by now, 3 fucking months

>>915758
dude relax, you're doing fine. Just struggle with it. That's what so much of learning is.

>>915752
>>915754
>>915755
>>915757
thank you all for the feedback. I'll take a look at this vertex lighting and baked textures. I appreciate the advice. I like to rendering them in 16:9 because I use it as wallpaper sometimes.

>>915728
This is bait.

>>915751
This is neat. Actually thought it is from a game.

>>915758
m8 calm the fuck down and get over yourself, nobody wants to see your emo bullshit everywhere.

No its not ok, I want to get pic related

>>915767
Do the arms how you did the legs

Don't stress about your topology, you can always fix that later, it's not a big deal for low poly. Just make points and edges and drag them where you need them. Clean up when the silhouette is solid and before rigging or UVs

>>915768
No, I can't. I am useless and talentless. I am inferior.

Will you stream it? I want to watch for proof that you'll never be posting again.

Blender.Today Live is ready to stream.

>>915776
suck it up and keep plowing trough the valley of suck until it clicks for you.
Stop following the same tutorial for 3 fucking months, study as many character tutorials as you can, but you need to be focused and not distracted, or else your never going to make it.

>>915751
very nice. Are you the anon that did the nighttime bridge scene as well?

grooming and hair dynamics. would love feedback on the hair's clumping, frizzyness, etc.
skin looks bad and I'm not entirely sure why. it needs more imperfections for sure, but beyond that i don't know. break up the roughness? more bump?

>>915919
Looks like you know what you're doing. Work on it some more, I think you have a strong model. I'll be doing more topology tonight.

Studying some new polygroup techniques from Youtube videos, great for crispy plated looks.

>5 nights at freddy´s/10

Started this guy recently, I was going for stylized hand painted textures meant for unlit shaders, next is his sword and then I have to rig him now which is a pain. does anyone have any good tuts for that in maya or blender?

>>915959
here's his head

>>915718
Still in the process of retopo-ing the rest of his armor. Anyone got tips on weight-painting chest armor like he has without major clipping?

>>915960
>>915959
Looks solid man! Love the edge-master/demon warrior look and the painting is fantastic.

>>915961
His arm tattoos

>>915925
Damn that dumptruck ass. Nice low res textures tho!

>>915387
Got most of the structure finished.
Legs also got most of the secondary details. The arms still some work tho.
And a tertiary detail pass for then entire model. Then to shading / texturing.
But i somewhat failed this 30/70 rule of mech design to keep 70% simple and only cover 30% in crazy detail. But i think the main point of this is to not have uniform detail to avoid visual noise.

>>915399
>t. scifi smut writer
kek.

>>915966
I really love this.

>>915967
Progress has been a bit slow due to a lack of free time. But i am still making progress faster than expected. Mainly because i just use placeholder materials.
And put 0 thought into colors and such. Just modeling.

>>915961
looks cool, you should post a higher res screenshot, for the chest piece you might want to just add a separate bone that controls the chest armor

>>915966
Beautiful squid is beautiful

>>915996
Thanks. Moving to smaller detailing now/ introducing asymmetry. I'm planing to do some heavy weathering on this one to make it look like well-worn industrial equipment. The place holder materials are all just to pristine.

Work in progress

>>916001
You know, if you went metal imperfections you could knock that up a few levels. Same thing I need, also.

>>916001
Love the winch, i can't wait for more details.
Anyway i think i'm done with this little guy. Time to either learn how to put it in unity or just make something else.

>>915718
WHY DOES MY BAKE LOOK LIKE THIS

>>916072
you baked too "deep" in comparision to your actual geometry, you'd need to have a least one level of bevel on the edges of your low-poly object.

>>916075
i made one level and it still looks questionable

>>916072
uncheck average normals.

>>915915
I did a scene like that a few months ago. It was a bridge in a snowy environment at night, with a building in the background that had a clock on the roof.

>>916069
Wow, those thrusts, love em. Might get "inspired" by them.
And more detail is on the way.

Today i manage to defeat one of my archnemesis, the hand. Got a bit carried away so now it got 6 digits.

>>916072
>>916077
the for ever problem of hard edge vs average normals
the reason you got those lines is simple, since your central point is under the gemetry you bake it twice, think on it, if you look from top you see the bevel, if you look from side you see the belevel and if you look from front you see the bevel, you bake it 3x
scale up high or scale down low till the edge is pefectly in center of the bevel, but tahts a 2005 tier workflow
bevel edges and weight normals, is what people do those days

>>916077
>>916072
>>916111
also for begginer just dont use hard edges, use auto smoothing at 180 degree angle
weighting edges and spliting vertexes is high level play

>>915966
i rike this model, looks bretty cool

>>915968
man I wish I could exercise version control as well as you

>>916116
>version control
When ever i feel like i made significant progress is do a quick and dirty render.

But on larger projects its more useful to save in stages. Blockout, Detail pass, and so on.
Having backups is very handy if some changes turn out to be garbage just appending an older version is a quick way to continue.

Saw these progress shots on artstation and i wanted to replicate that.

>>915751

I was gonna ask how you accomplished this, but I think the simple secret to that is just to compress your textures to shit. Fantastic work son

Density and remesh - VERY delicate step

>>916154
More than ten attempts to reach this result.
I was almost switching back to my old model.

>>916159
ZRemesher can be very frustrating at times

>>916159
I'll save you a step! Those white boxes to censor can be omitted. I am not an animal. A vertex is will not make me lash out in a tempest.
I wish I had ZBrush. Blender feels laggy on high poly counts. I feel like I'm stuck in a rut here. Hopefully tofday I can get moving forward.

>>916159
UV Master. Unwrapping was one shot, rarely bugs out (but it happens)

>>916171
apparently, there are no problems.
usually all my models result in a 45K poly shadow of their former selves, this one´s 65K and have most of the original topology intact, plus muscular and other anatomy grouped into preserved polymeshes.

>>916171
Your UV map being one giant contiguous island like that is bad for both warping and resolution, because you can't pack it efficiently into a 0..1 square without compromising one. I know you do your own painted diffuse only thing so it probably doesn't matter, but if you find yourself encountering issues with the aforementioned problems, split the UVs up into multiple UV tiles (UDIMs) for a better pack without as much warping.

You are replying to a pedophile, and people with such disturbed minds tend to be incapable of logical thought.

>>916191
No need. Maybe a extra one for the head, but areas like nails/fingers/lips/ears have been inflated by the UV - also, the map is painted on Zbrush directly, not in a paint program, which would demand that the model conformed to a planar square map.

>>916272
No! I REFUSE to get filtered by airplanes and helicopters. Here's my lowpoly F-16. It won't subdivide well, but I think so far this is my best aircraft. I don't think there are any ngons, but (obviously) there are a few tris.

C-zero-zero-l. Good work. I was blown away to be sitting it a cockpit of the F-18 via Oculus 2 in Digital Combat Simulator. Old enough to remember the first MS Flight Simulator. Also remember trying CG art on those old computers. Well, here we are, 2022. O. M. G. Gag me with a spoon.

>>916114 thanks, just wait for me to mess it up with bad texturing.

>>916107
Secondary detail is done. Sure there is always more gizmos to add, but i'll call it done, except the upper arms. They still need some more shaping.
But after this its time for texturing.

>>916390
Forgot to mention the scale / need some feed back on it. The human is 1.83m (6'0") and the mech, not counting the antenna 2.6m (6'9").
Should i scale down or keep the size? Eye Height roughly matches with the squid.

Not sure if this counts but I built this on top of a model already made from Runescape. It's an old project that I abandoned some time ago.

>>916393
2.06m, i'm retarded, well the freedom units are still correct.

This "collapsed wave function" thing is all the craze so here's my take. There are interior rooms and hallways. So lots of wall peices and intersection tiles are redundant, but still only the appropriate kind of walls and floors connect to each other.
There's no intelligence about like placing hallways or conditions for rooms at all. It just begins with a first randomly selected tile and then works from there.

>>916407

Thanks anon. Yeah, at-home flight sims have come so far in the modern day. It's very cool.
>>916348
If I want to get better, should I try to model the F-16 again, or move on to another plane and then revisit the F-16 afterwards with newly acquired skills?

>>917129
Are you having fun?

Yeah, fair

Is it cute at least?

>>917142
It really is (not in a pedo way)

What's the best way to turn a crudely drawn fantasy map like pic related (this is just some random image from google) into a 3d sculpt?

My first idea was just subdividing a huge square and sculpting it to match the coasts, valleys and mountains, while leaving another huge square just there to represent the sea, all of this while tracing the original image. it's doesnt feel very practical.

Maybe adding single vertices along the coast and then turning them into a huge face and subdividing it?

>>916854
Haha used to do the same thing till I could see beyond the textures to just the mesh. Best of luck anon.

>>917153
I would just color in the land and find a way to map it to height that way. Seems like the least work.

>>917156

>>916319
Please go back to cartoon ducks.

I'm trying to make a model for a vtuber friend, I made a sculpt as a proof of concept but I'm worried it will look uncanny as fuck and his audience won't like it.
He wants it with a guilty gear type of shader. Yup.

>>917274
It looks alright. When in doubt try to give your model an expressive face and a quick pose, it will immediately look better.

>>917274
Maybe not uncanny, but the facial expression doesn't look like I can empathize with him. You may just have to ask your friend and his audience how they feel about it, and ask them to be honest so that you can actually improve it if they think there's a problem.

>>917274
It's really hard to gauge other peoples fetishes.

>>917274
Right now the character looks extremely stiff- In its proportions and style- I think the gut/abdomen is too large (takes up too much focus- also reminds me of an out of shape karate instructor or something)-- The arms and hands look solid- But the legs feel so restrained- so plain. I know you can do something with them, whether that be with the pants themselves- the amount of loose fabric- taking some of it away- making the legs longer- I know you have to work in the framework of a Vr avatar rig or whatever, but there is lots you could work into the form going forward.

I think the Feet should be way larger- Like 2x as big (!) Frog feet are huge. Okay so my lasting thought would be: Shrink the torso, shrink the head- Elongate the legs, double the feet. The arms just need to link back to the shoulders and then your proportions could be looking great and I bet it will look great

now that is attention to detail

>>917330
nips really like that kind of topology

I made a shenron ages back and that really gave me a sense of false skill because all it was was just curves and arrays. I'm trying to get some modeling going on without going into sculpting right away. Too scared of being shit so I keep starting over because I don't wanna be Cris. I think the legs and arms turned out okay enough though but not sure how to tackle the head which was my issue with Shenron as well.

Fixed the contour on the front half of the lower hull. Will have to delete the vertices on the back, cut it off at the edge loop and go again but alas it is late, busy day tomorrow. I'll get there, feel like the form is almost wrapped up. Then shaders, decals, details, we know the drill. A good week has gone into this, but you can't have a Starfleet comic without a ship. That's why this is important. Giving this model some love. Okay, see you all back on Twit and Red Blender threads, right, whatever. We can't make it there. Besides, the volume on those threads is high but you hardly ever see anything real. Nothing jumps out at you. Fuck off.

not often enough

I realized I suck at drawing so I’m trying to get into 3D. Here’s my first donut, I’ll add some sprinkles when I learn how to not have to do them individually.

Haven't done anything in about 6 weeks so I thought I should get back in the saddle. I'm trying to do something for Halloween.
Not happy with the cloth, I might try a different one. It looks like a shiny carpet. Not sure if it needs more subdivisions or if I just need to take the displacement down and increase the roughness. I think a "bump" in it would make it seem more realistic.
I really wish I had done the measurements to scale in the first place too because I'm having to eyeball everything.
Can anyone give me some advice on the candy corn btw? We don't get it across here so I'm not sure how it should really look as far as the colour and subsurface scattering go.
There's other things to add, that's why there's all that wasted space on the left.
I think it's coming along okay though. But I always think that then someone with a much better eye points out all of the glaring errors I've made.

I'll do that. It has a roughness map with it but all my roughness maps seem to be like that (too shiny). You seem to get better results by doing your own.

>>917443
What do you mean? The only thing I stole instead of making is the red cloth texture. I suppose you could say the pattern on the back of the cards and the ouija board design too, but that would be a stretch. The card pattern is just a generic pattern and the ouija board is a classic design that there's no point in recreating when it already exists.
Unless you mean make a totally unique design, but for what I'm doing this for it wouldn't be worth the effort. And it's always hard as fuck for me to do anything other than fonts because I'm using a kb+m.

Any recommended zbrush head sculpting tutorials? Free or paid.

First time I'm sculpting this much cloth.

Helping a friend with his man cave design.

>>917447
I thought about doing a real complex retopo but I think I'll just do a lazy symmetrical mesh and bake.

downloaded the Adobe Substance 3D Modeler beta
my only real sculpting experience before this was Dreams on the PS4 which is very easy to use, and this seems to follow a lot of the same design ideas, such as not getting too bogged down by technical things as you might in Blender
anyone else tried it? just shat out pic related, absolute beginner just playing around on my own at the moment, haven't watched the tutorials yet but seems promising

Slow board tonight. Let's try a relation to this picture.

Here's my alien dude.
Is the only way to get better to keep making character models over and over? because I restarted this guy like 4 times.

>>917543
>Is the only way to get better to keep making character models over and over?
Basically, yes. This video describes a good technique: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rtc6iYp6Qk

>>917543
>Is the only way to get better to keep making character models over and over
This applies to every single thing in life, anon.

>>917543
>Is the only way to get better to keep making character models over and over?
It's a way that works, but there are less effort-demanding ways of improving. Everyone has the ability to tell whether or not an artistic depiction of a person looks wrong, but a well-trained artist also has the ability to know what looks right. Part of being an artist is about training that natural intuition to be stronger.
Tank autists (people who play tank games and obsess over tanks, me being one of them) spend a lot of time looking at tanks, and so they develop a better intuitive sense for what a tank should look like than your average person would. They develop this sense without ever designing a tank, and in my experience, this same thing applies to the human body. Sometimes it helps to look at your subject until you understand it intuitively.

>>917434
Has anyone ever used Nomad? I was messing around with it when I realized there’s a huge chunk of the glaze inside the donut which I’d like to delete but don’t know how. I tried to Voxel Merge, it works but that also fucks up both the model and the paint.

Been using shape blocking for anatomy Practice, how did I do so far?

>>917440
I'd upload it but I'm afraid of someone taking it, even if it's ass. Let me see if I can make a semi-decent webm

>>917584
Looking good, nice planes.

>>917583
Nomad is best for making really basic sketches, if I felt like I was having to debug something in it I'd move to another program or start the model over.

Work: I talked about revealing the shoulders with a mature adult woman friend and showed her this, she said that I should go ahead with it. I trust her, she has good judgement. So if I were to continue the dress mesh must be accurate. I could definitely position it enough for one angle camera shot but this is 3D- it's in the contract that we do 3D. It would be more valuable if we could turn table it. Alright: the easiest method would be to sculpt it.

>>917620
That is one broken shoulder. Is that what happens when you mode in T-Pose?

>>917647
It's what happens when someone is a delusional and self-important faggot who doesn't know anything about character modeling because he plays around with DAZ models that look like little girls, but thinks he has the authority to talk shit.

>>917657
harsh

>>917083
I posted a jackhammer in one of these threads many moons ago, and now it is done.

>>917647
Got it. Thanks.

>>917657
Horrible. Judgement lacking WIP. F minus.

>>917660
It's.. beautiful. The pull string gear should extrude out a bit. Looks like the starter coil is competing for space inside. Texturing is spot on.

>>917660
This looks really cool anon

>>917658
>I know a lot of rude shit gets said here, but insulting a talentless nonce? Bro that's too far.

>>917661
And that project you're working on definitely deserves an F minus.

Update on my anatomy piece
>>917584

>>917741
Here's a list of every wrong muscle insertions: all of them

You even have him an extra pair of abs, and inverted his feet lol

learn some anatomy pls

Shit, looks like we're going to have to pay the light bill and keep this place lit for a minute or two.

>>917761
Only the abs and feet are wrong everything else is shape locked into place. Easy fix just to make on toe bigger than the other and smooth out the muscles.

>>917769
Nice man. Looks awesome

>>917769
You came here to laugh at us?

>>917543
made a skull and worked on the shoulders/back.

>>917761
No he needs to learn how to draw.

I'll try making a product presentation reel, like in those stupid commercials. Object blowing up, showing all the neat parts, depth of field, slow motion closeups.

I'm feeling kinda bummed and cant really get to practice
Do you guys have any motivation tips on how to keep making art in this AI clown world

>>918110

>>915758
Your first models will be shit and take longer to make. Nobody gets into 3D and makes anything decent for a good while. Keep modeling and you'll see each model is a improvement from the last.

>>918110
>>918111
Remember Satan?

This is a base character for a game that I've been working on for a while, this is like the 6th iteration of the character, but iterations 1-4 were scrapped entirely, mainly because I'm constantly learning new things, the character is stylized so things like the eyes and hands are disproportionately large.
The character has a lot of features, there's body morphs for customizations and plans for head morphs too, as well as a rig to generate facial animations, and it has a full IK/FK rig, and they are fully modelled, and there's a male counterpart, but they are being modified thanks to changes made to the female body.
I think the censor effect is nice, it was fun figuring out how to make it, definitely can't wait for Viewport compositor in Blender.

>>918143
>censor effect is nice
Why not just add it in photoshop? Takes under a minute.

>>918144
Firstly because I thought it would be fun to figure out how to do it and secondly it's more efficient to generate it at any angle or if I wanted to render an animation and it's pixel perfect every time, you can see the outline of her nipples, male is funnier because you can see the outline of his dong.

>>918143
Old version of my work.

>>918143
Neat, but the wird knees gotta go, man

>>918118
what about him?
and how do i get rid of it
(am jewish so i dont think jesus 'ell help)

>>917450
looks like the nuclear apocalypse outside. What's going on, man?

>>918143
I like it but the forearm insertions are weird and the silhouette of the thighs/knee area can use some work. Also I don't know if you're putting this character in shoes or not but you should fix the rest position of the toes so that they sit together/overlapping, and adjust their scales so they look right in that pose.

>>917450
Ah, these must be Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannons.

>>917290
Legit nice and unique.

Found a nice design and decided to turn it into 3d

>>915751
cool!

>>918143
get off my sfw blue board, coomer

>>918204
I censored it, and it's not even for a coomer game, it's for an adventure game, I just personally have a distaste for soldered on underwear in video games, and the character being fully modeled is because the game has mod support, I've even considered just sealing off that part, the labia minora and anal cavity are on separate textures, I can just remove them completely if I wanted to.

>>917010
>>917734

>>918143
bring the forehead forward so it makes her brow look less prominent and trannyish. women have vertical forehead's that are rounder.

cool worm

>>918026
worked on the thighs and knees and blocked out the feet/hands a little more.
Do most people sculpt the hands separately and glue them on or just do them in place?

>>918257
Personally I start the hands separately starting from a little below the wrist and remesh them together after i have some detail.

>>917144
>>917142
>>917129
it’s not cute (at all). it reads as an ugly baby. make the eyes bigger or something

>>918290
LOAD THE SCUD
Ehuehueheheeh

>>917741
google ecorches and look at anatomy models on sketchfab, most of this is wrong as >>917761 said
>>918143
smooth the bony areas, she’s a healthy weight but the bones stick out like someone underweight
>>918193
nice
>>918257
use a basemesh for the hands desu it saves a lot of time. 99% of hands look similar, i don’t know anyone who makes them from scratch
>>915758
stop poly modeling. start drawing irl and sculpting
>>916239
nice! proportions seem a little off but textures are great
>>916390
very nice don’t add any more details, the conservation of detail is perfect as it is. as for its height it depends on the context of the character. is it intelligent? does it think it’s superior to humans? is it a brainless squid?
>>916474
you have a unique style that isn’t present in anthro art. smoothing the details of the face wil make her more attractive though. it’s a bit too anatomical to be sexable
>>916643
bulbous cheeks look retarded and red tones too strong on skin but otherwise great
>>916670

>>916755
change your shader to skinshade1 haha, looking good though
>>917290
>>917291
soul
>>917327
baste star trek fan, im not sure if you’re recreating an early trek look but add some areas of smaller detail if you’re going for a modernised early look
>>917333
this seems like you’re too cautious. be brave. make hundreds of shit models until you get a good one
>>917446
read art books. draw until you can ‘feel the form’. it directly translates to sculpting ability

pic is a random asset from a game im helping with

>>918146
looks like hitman

>>916643
was looking at this again, smooth the nasolabial folds and other harsh details of the face and let the texture do the talking

>>918207
>modeling genetials for a real game
absolutely based

>>917709
>You learn anatomy through guided repetition though.
doing the wrong thing over and over wont make it right, alien features are exaggrated features of the human body which is what you're going for, if you're just learning anatomy u should learn the correct one first

>>917450
oh no no no no

>>918207
Based FULLY MODELED anon.

>>917796
thanks
>>917889
i came here to treat you to some chardines

Question is >>918143 considered good and employment worthy, because I can make this shit with a hand tied behind my back.

>>918361
Depends on whether you want to be employed for over or under $1000 a month.

>>918361
are you indian?

>>918361
It's multiple grades below employment worthy, you should consider showing your own work to ask whether you are ready for employment or not.
Just based off of that picture alone I can say with great confidence that the person who created that gets paid by the hour.

>>918370
>you should consider showing your own work to ask whether you are ready for employment or not.

Unfinished/Half Abandoned sculpt, made with a mouse. No tablet, have it retopologised somewhere but don't remember where.

>>918379

>>918380
Can't post stuff that I intend to finish but I mostly do hard surface and can do soft/sculpts.

>>918381

>>918379
>not retopologized
>not textured
>not rigged
You're miles off, and your work quality isn't even good, what the fuck is with the fingers rest position, did you just sculpt over someone elses work? lazy/10, work harder, get more skills and practice significantly more and maybe you will get somewhere, why did you detail the character with veins when the underlying detail isn't even complete, it's really mush too like you sculpted the whole thing at the highest level of detail or something.

>>918383
>did you just sculpt over someone elses work?
The hands/fingers are mine. I have 1 pair of hands for male sculpts and 1 pair for women.

>not retopologized
>not textured
>not rigged

Irrelevant things, have it retopologised somewhere, no rig since this was a mousesculpt test. I don't really do organic shit.

>practice significantly more and maybe you will get somewhere
Show your work, boy.

>>918381
>Can't post stuff that I intend to finish
You will only get a job if you can actually finish your work, saying you will do it someday is not good enough.
>Irrelevant things, have it retopologised somewhere
Yes of course it is.
>Show your work, boy.
We are talking about your work, you want a job, you just failed the interview.

>>918386
Yes, I'll surely get a job on fucking 4chan.

>Yes of course it is.
I can retopo dude, it's the most basic shit. I'm paranoid that the way I do things might dox me. Wouldn't be a problem but don't want to be associated with 4chan more than the minimum possible.

>We are talking about your work, you want a job, you just failed the interview.
Of course, because I'll obviously go to an interview with a gray sculpt, lulz.

What I'm sensing here is that you're a noob that can't spot things, actual people with 10+ years in the industry can tell me if I'm on the right path or not, you're not one of those people, salty beg.

Does anyone have any learning resources I can use to make better buildings? I have gotten my modeling skills to the point where I can make these pretty easily, but they just seem boring to me and I don't know what's wrong with them.

>>918391
>Yes, I'll surely get a job on fucking 4chan.
Hypothetical, you think anyone looking to hire you will accept any of this shit? so why act like that's the case>
>I can retopo dude, it's the most basic shit. I'm paranoid that the way I do things might dox me. Wouldn't be a problem but don't want to be associated with 4chan more than the minimum possible.
>Of course, because I'll obviously go to an interview with a gray sculpt, lulz.
Excuses don't get you a job, practice and improvement does.
Absolutely fucking retarded, you will remain a little bitch until you learn the most basic things. I'm done talking to a person who's only pro is in procrastination.

>>918381
>>918380
You need to work on a lower subdivision level and concentrate on your primary forms so they don't come out mushy, wait at least two years before adding veins again.
And check out Raf Grassetti's tutorial, it will help you.

>>918290
Love it. Are you making a Half-Life mod or something?

>>918394
LOOOOL.

About 10% of what's in this thread is comparable to my sculpt, the rest are Chris tier.

>you will remain a little bitch until you learn the most basic things

What basic things?. A baked texture from this high-ish poly and a shader node?. My boy, the easy thing is the shading/texturing/retopo/random rig (debatable, I'm not implying I'm a rigger).

To be fair, I dont know how to do UDIMed unwraps, I can unwrap but can't master it Punjab pajeet style.

>I'm done talking

Good. Shut up.

>>918395
>wait at least two years before adding veins again.

Some info on this? I've had vains that were mushy IRL and I've seen vains with insane separation from the muscle, like vines on a wall. The veins were smoothed because those are the only vains I know.

>>918379
>leading with excuses
Not ready for employment.

>>918381
>that thigh anatomy
Definitely not ready.

>>918405
>that thigh anatomy
I agree, its unfinished, literally a placeholder and the region where I didn't give too much thought. Even the vains were an afterthought.

>leading with excuses
I need input from people that know their shit, so I can improve, not some retard implying that I'm Chris tier. I'm clearly somewhere between a noob and a god, someone that knows where I'm at should tell me.

Going to make a Dwarf, because I hate the way that Dwarf Fortress looks now, going to try Blenders new sculpt painting tools too, sounds fun, maybe finish rigging it tomorrow.

>>918257
Lots of easy mistakes here, I think your arms are too short and your legs too long, you've put way too much into the muscles at the back/sides of the neck, the collar bone goes way too high or maybe starts way too low or a combination of both, you tend to carve in the areas around muscles more than pushing the muscles to jut out, I also think that you need to redo the stomach muscles
Here's a sculpt I was doing for a dwarf body, notice the silhouette at the edge of the pecs on the left, you probably want a shape more like that for your pecs, that said there are loads of errors in my work, some intentional but also lots of unintentional ones I can see myself, so don't just follow that. Always use reference, and remember to look at your character from many angles constantly, even when sculpting a single a single thing, you are working in 3d.
Consider splitting your work into separate pieces and focusing those down.
Don't be afraid to destroy a part of your work and start again.

>>918406
>more excuses
You only want attention.

>>916755
>>916814
>>918292
He didn't make this, its a showcase from a blender tutorial channel, baka.

Little enemy for a game I'm working on. Still need to figure out the texturing though, I suck at that. Is 12k faces too much for a little gremlin like this? There are going to potentially be lots of them on the screen at once, not sure what a good target polycount is.

i have a somewhat decent render i want to get torn apart by /3/, its too big for the board though so how can i get is on without breaking anon? kinda the main allure of 4chan ngl.

>>918457
by somewhat decent I meant absolutely horrible, but good by my standards.

>>918392
It's a nice start, but you will get almost nowhere with poly modeling. Its very outdated, limiting and dull, unless its a blockout or a cookie cutter medieval building. Check out Ali Eser and Quentin Mabille, they have videos and assets you can download and play with. Try to copy something simple from them to get a grip on a new tool.

Im working on a KILL HER JERRY lady btw

>>915728
>1) you use racial and sexual slurs and putdowns
Faggot

>>918392
Actually the building on the left is pretty cool, has a distinct shape to it. Only issues I personally got with it (and keep in mind this is just personal preference) is:
1) simply not enough details, personally I'd put some more extrusions on those windows for example and put a base underneath, some stairs too perhaps, maybe some foliage crawling up the walls
2) materials/textures are too basic, too clean; I'd personally put some damage here and there especially around the edges, maybe some exposed bricks, some cracks.
But your building is a really good starting point, definitely lots of potential.
Look a lot at buildings you like and possibly that have a similar aesthetic: by the looks of it, sumerian, moroccan and aztec architecture might be good candidates

>>918442
you mean the jinx sculpt?

>>918467
not the same guy, but couldn't find them on yt?

Go to their artstation, there are links to gumroad, you can buy or download from torrents.

Im really tired but happy with the result. Will finish it later.

I wanted to do the outline with a shader but the one I usually use doesn't pick up the details I want to show, like the collar of the kimono
I might have to use an inverted hull, I'll have to dissolve some edge loops to stay under 70k poly so I can tell my dude that it's VR Chat friendly
