Definitely not just 'crap' modeling and but I really dislike the composition, it's very uneasy on the eyes.
The image is very disharmoneus and confused and I'm not talking about the events taking place, the fact that we can see all the detail of the car this side of
such bright light makes no sense and fucks with our brains becasue we're looking into a glowing hot light source that doesn't light any of the objects in the scene.
it look very unreal and uncanny.

This blurred version of your image shows that your values are just a complete mush all over the place, as a result the image lacks readability.
All versions of the image shown in >>356484 is much, much, better than the final version.

Telling people their work is "crap" does not make you look like a professional audience, you know? That's not how it works outside. You can say something is crap as much as you want if you state why, how to improve and stuff related, so... I'm sorry, but nope, you're not doing anything useful for anyone.

>>356484

It's really impressive, and the quality of the modeling, texturing, and rendering looks great, but I agree that the composition is confusing, and as a result I have no clue what's going on in the scene. Random ivy, and random holograms, followed by random robot tentacles all destructing a random car? I want to like it because it's impressive, but I definitely don't.

[Anonymous No.356544]

>>356484
Still looks very amateur and weak. Lots of noobs suggest its a good work since they don't get anything from that visual abomination of a mash up. There's only an okay-ish car model which people usually upload to 3d websites for free. And the rest is just irrelevant stuff put together to make the scene look sophisticated.
The lighting doesn't make sense, the composition is non-existent, and the rest is typical amateur stuff.
The truth is not for everybody so it is possible that you can get slightly mad or not, but chin up. You have the potential to do much better.

This is very good critique, I hope the OP of the bug picture won't just dismiss it as further trolling. I agree that the technical execution of the image is very good but I felt the same as everyone else here when I saw it for the first time, I was confused as to what the hell is going on in the picture. I can't take critique well either so I know getting all this negative feedback must suck but after I get over my mad I almost always realize people had a point there. Doesn't mean the image is worthless or that you have to re-do everything now, leave it as it is if you don't feel like putting more time into it but remember the critique for the next time because most of it is valid. A good idea and technical skills don't necessarily don't necessarily make a good picture, composition is hugely important and somewhat underestimated by many CG people.

>I am determined to be able to freesculpt without refs and make realistic people.

The way you get good at free-sculpting humans is by looking super carefully at references learning to build exact likeness of people.
Humans have so many subtle features that you keep discover even after years of refining your skills. But here's the kicker; when you are skilled
enough to do good free-sculpts you're still gonna sculpt worse without references than you're gonna do with them.

Not using tools you have to the fullest wil limit you as an artist, we have the ability to augment our memory by looking at reference material.
Not doing so because of some misguided notion about artistry will only serve to degrade the quality of your work.

Just select the Topology brush, and start drawing lines on the surface. If 3 lines intersect, it creates a quad (and if 3 do it's a tri). Hold down alt and draw over an existing line piece to delete it. After that, all you do is do a click on any line to turn it into a mesh (you can ctrl-z to undo, if you just wanted to preview. And if your mesh isn't completely closed, your brush size will define its thickness) and the split unmasked subtool.

But here's a video series that goes into more detail:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6asXD5rypMU

The third video isn't really relevant though, it goes into using ZSpheres to edit the points/edges in a mesh that has been made.

If 4 lines intersect, it creates a quad (and if 3 do it's a tri), so you can imagine how easy that can make it to fill areas to the curvature by drawing at big grids.

There are some main loops missing.

Take a look at:

those nose loops really help shaping the nose, they are very important IMO.

BBS style wheels. Still need to change how the spokes connect to the rim to look more aggressive and to make the step lip on the rim match the spokes better. Aside that and needing to remake remake the centers so I can fillet the lug holes (fucking rhino and fillets) Any other thoughts on what would make them look better?

Smooth the edges on the body of the guitar.

For the strings you can either use a Bezier curve, or if you want the ultimate detail, model a spiral section and array it into a string.

I'm pretty new to the whole 3d modelling thing and /3/ but I'm guessing red lines are acceptable? There are three things which I feel like you can improve upon to take your model to the next step. The first is the stance. His stance is too narrow. A man of that thickness, weight and strength would never have that narrow of a stance. It makes him look strange and unstable and kind of detracts from the overall look of the character. Secondly the curve of the spine. A person with that much belly (or chest) fat is a lot more likely to be slouching forwards rather than backwards, especially backwards at such an extreme angle. Thirdly, the feet. This in combination with the stance makes him look unstable. In short, the feet need to be less short (haha).

Anyways I hope this has been helpful or if I've deeply offended you or something kay thanks.

For modeling in a neutral pose, your stance is wrong. You are technically accurate, and he should posed/animated with a wide stance. But you want to model in a neutral position.

I can agree with your comment on the spine though, for different reasons. His spine should be further forward for that neutral rigging pose.

He probably means the curves aren't as relaxed as they could be and there's some stepping taking place.
They don't lie as points on the same harmonious curve that is it often happens when you do dense sub-d.
As for quad count I'm guessing this is a highpoly anyways.

It's a minor thing on a well made model so he's probably just ripping for the sake of being a douche.

[Anonymous No.357490]

>>357481
I think your heads show promise, but you need to pay more careful attention to minor anatomical features of the head to start brining it in a more natural direction.
You model the primary features quite well but there are many subtle features to the landscape of the human head that isn't obvious even to seasoned artists.
Try using video as your reference material, when you look carefully at a head that moves and you see it under different light conditions and angles you start picking
up on minor curves and shapes that is important landmarks for the overal shape of the head.

Anything on the human body that looks like a flat featureless piece of real-estate upon the human landscape - isn't, it hides subtle features and curves that is easely overlooked.
We're so accustomed at looking at people that we tend to overfocus on the big picture and turn a blind eye to the boring less descript bits in favor of highly recognizable features like eyes, nose mouth, ear etc.
As an artist working off a reference it helps to force oneself into the habit of looking at familiar objects like they're uncharted terrain we're unfamiliar with and then attempt to describe them as accuracte as possible.
Forcefully subtracting our mental model of what it is that we are looking at.

So that when viewing a reference of a face we don't see an eye and start drawing an eye, bringing our biased view of what an eye should look like into the equation, we see a curved surface next to a crease,
and we pay utmost care to all the bends and angles of the crease and how the hills and valleys are connected. Doing this allows us to capture what's really present instead of our preconceptions of how it should look.

ok man, i see you really dont get head anatomy, here are few tips i learned
also keep in mind my model is part of my demon girl quick sculpt head so its already stylized bit, dont use it as a ref, always use actual photo reefs

first cheek bones are always the widest part of the face, if the jaw is you get a stylized very muscular look, if the cheeks you get a very fat person, if they are really pointy you get a skinny person, but always make sure the are the right width for your model

now eyebrows, its not true for everybody but mostly they will stand out from every angle, there is a scull bump there and teh masle and fat layer makes you the most pointy part of teh head form 45 degree angle
make sure you have teh mouth lines right, they are very subtle and almost invisibl;e form teh front

the ear has the exact same shape on every human, its hard coded into our dna, it never changes its pattern, only shape thickness length and curvature, study the ear !! google ear and you will notice the same exact pattern on every person

the eyes are the most important part of your model, its where you will look first, make sure they have proper curvature, just like the ears its the same pattern for every person and every race, what changes between races is the area around the eyes, not the eyes themself

the neck is thick at the top and narrow at the bottom, its reversed from teh back, so thin at the top
this isnt true for very muscular and fat people people, in both cases it loses its curvature and turns into a thick cilinder

just fallow the body lines, and keep in mind fat people faces look all kinds of fucked up, the rules break apart there

just google a famous actor, track the lines, try sculpting him, study if he has some additional scars wrinkles, skin folds, try to study how the flow where they end and where start
or if you want take pics of yourself form every angle and do a self bust

You need to look at a head in more angles than front/side. You misread how the face and the jaw is shaped.
That girl is tilting her head heavely forward so that the lower part of the iris comes up above the eyelid giving her gaze
this predatory quality of 'a wolf looking straight at you' type deal. Anon's may try this for themselves infront of a mirror,
it makes any person look really dangerous and evil like they're ploting your death, it's a very effective way to
make pople picking a fight in the bar etc reconsider their behavior. (but it triggers a 'fight or flight' response so be careful if it's a big dangerous guy)

However you read it like the head is still level looking straight into camera and as a result you build a perspective into a flat face.
Giving you a V shaped jaw and chin that has a almost anime quality to it and a spike shaped nose far from that of the girl in the image.
Also, notice where her ears are and where the ears of your model is, that's how much tilted her head really is.

Any other critiques/sugestions would be great, especially on the anatomical side.

And one more thing, I tend to use the gizmo alot to move vertexes, but I never see them advertised or recommended in the tutorials.

The size of the human eye is very consistent between adults and the deviance is only withing 2mm. It's a sphere like shape with a diameter of 24mm
it's not a perfect sphere however, it's just a bit wider than it's tall.
The muscles of the eye connects closer to the iris on the nasal side than the ear side see picture related.
The eyes should be about one eyewidth apart from eachother but there is some deviance from this rule from person to person so it depends on the type of face you're making.

Don't know exactly what you mean by that since I'm not a blender user, but in max I shape my meshes using soft selections and setting the transform to work in 'screen space',
That is the transforms XY axes are always pointing up and to the right like in image with Z pointing straigt at us then I orbit the mesh freely and edit the outline from any angle like pic related.
This is very similar to how one sculpts with a move brush in mudbox or snake hook in zbrush. This is the most effective way to model organics that I know of.

To be tecnical, it can be called primative when the dominant 3d surfaces have flat none compound characteristics

compound surfaces show form and reflection far better than flat extrusions.

the last picture you uploaded, even with its complex network of negative and positive surfaces is far far closer to primitive surfaces than something similiar to the front end of a porsche in 3d

If i were you, accept it as an exercise and learn to do more compound surfaces, something like this wont get you a job

And adult human has 32 teeth, if they haven't had their 4 adult teeth removed. You have 17 on the bottom jaw, for a total of 34, I would assume. Not to mention, the human dental formulation is 2-1-2-3. Your teeth all look the same. If this is supposed to be anatomically accurate, you clearly know nothing of anatomy.

The reason there is 17 on the bottom is so it doesn't look weird. In my opinion looks > anatomy. Of course it isn't supposed to be anatomically accurate, look at it lol.

In my opinion anatomy doesn't mean squat unless that is what you are aiming for or if that is what's required of you.

>turn on raytrace shadows
>RIP my GPU

I have a feeling it's the alpha mapped net on my roof causing most of the render time, is there a way to disable the light casting shadows on a single object, but still light it?

Also, would more than one light casting raytraced shadows slow the render exponentially, or only slightly?

[Anonymous No.358023]

>>358022
You using maya? If so, go to the planeshape (or whatever yours is called) under the attribute editor and expand render stats. Uncheck 'casts shadows' and you should be sorted.

Dunno about the render time tho.

[Anonymous No.358029]

>>358023
Thankyou for that, yes Maya. If it doesn't make my render times quicker, it will hopefully darken the roof area above the net which I didn't want illuminated anyway.

I'm just making a very short animated sequence for 1st year 3d at school. Wondering if I should leave shadows and everything off as in >>357573
Or turn them on, but have it take quite a lot longer to render.

[Anonymous No.358030]

>>358029
Definitely go with shadows, it really adds a level to the depth of the scene. I would, depending on the mood you were going for, change the lights a bit. The first image(without shadows) has a much warmer hue to it, and seems inviting. The second one has a much greener tint to it, like it's radioactive or actually underwater, rather than themed that way. Depends on the context of the scene though.

[Anonymous No.358031]

>>358030
Yeh, I have no idea what happened, I think I toned down the orange lights on the left, which were there for that exact reason, to add warmth to the scene.
I'll try and get tham back to where they were and re-render that same shot.

The animation is just a simple move through the room, but then it turns to the window on the right to see a jellyfish float past and a submersible. I'll upload it to my youtube when it's done if you are interested, will post in whichever WIP thread is available.

[Anonymous No.358038]

>>358031
This look better?
I turned on Mental Ray, but it took about 8 minutes for a single frame. Also, why are my shadows sort of grainy?
I'm not used to playing with lighting in 3D programs, so I have hardly any idea what I'm actually doing.

[Anonymous No.358039]

>>358038
That's looking a lot better, yeah. Your shadows might be grainy for a couple of reasons, are you using ray trace or depthmap shadows? Also under the quality tab of mental ray you could turn up the anti aliasing to make them smoother, however it will really increase render time.

[Anonymous No.358059]

>>358039
ray trace shadows.
I think I'll just leave it as it is, it took 18 minutes for a frame, not 8 as I posted above, but that was using mental ray. Pic attatched is using the in-built renderer, exactly 8 minutes, with 100% more Keanu.
Went cold again as well, I have a feeling it's because of the stock renderer, not my lights, as nothing has changed from >>358038


I'll render out a copy using the stock renderer tonight to check for any model/animation flaws and then render out one in mental ray tomorrow, or at least start it.
