Are there any anons who design and make their own characters/models for concepting practice? I come from a 2d background and find I can concept faster in PS like pic related rather than straight into zbrush like I see a lot of people like ben mauro etc doing. I guess I'm interested in what other peoples workflows are like who are more pro with zbrush. I'll post a sculpt of one of these in the thread next and see how it looks...

Hey folks, i have a problem. At my home desktop computer, i am unable to see bump textures in my viewport. When i render the model, i can see it, but i need to see it in the viewport, too.

I've already ticked "show in viewport" in the material editor, and in the viewport, i use shaded view, going to materials -> show realistic materials with maps (or any other option in that menu) doesn't do anything for me .
I've tried changing to Nitrous Direrct 3D 9, instead of 11, but that doesn't help, too.

What confuses me even more is the fact, that on my Laptop everything works just fine. I apply a bump map on a material, apply the material to the object, tick "show realistic materials with maps" and i can see the bump map in the viewport. The only thing i noticed was a massive fps drop, from around 250 - 300 to 35 - 50, is this normal?

I am using 3ds Max 2014 on both systems, though on my home desktop i have SP 3 and on my Laptop SP 2.

Eventually, I'm gonna add 2 more object adder managers that will add large and small objects in a different set. That way, I can keep larger objects existing at a distance and small objects only existent near the player. This should be another huge performance boost for me to play around with.

[Anonymous No.389612]

>>389609
the texture should either be bigger or tiled more times or tiled more times with some overlaying secondary textures on top (or procedurals)
the scale of the texture makes the character/camera feel like an insect

[Anonymous No.389615]

>>389609
A couple of things. First off, I can't see the foliage anywhere, which was one of the main reasons I wanted to play. The ground needs some variety, maybe you can use a mask to change ground textures from area to area. I realize some parts were snowy but it needs microdetails. Trees look wierd and jaggy I think you should find another solution for the trees.

Btw I love that when you press 2 you start running very fast and sorta bounce on the map. Please don't remove that function.

And lastly, can you import custom OBJ models with textures and self-illumination maps into blender to place them around and create a huge map you can navigate on ? Also can Blender handle high poly counts such as a million.

[Anonymous No.389616]

>>389615
Oh, and whats that white nipple in the sky ?

[Anonymous No.389617]

>>389612
The leaf map right? Will do

>>389615
Yeah, I havent gotten around to filling the entire world with objects yet. I'm more preparing the way that the world is loaded at this point. Once I have that done, I can add objects around more efficiently.

There wasnt supposed to be any snow... Glitch maybe? Sounds cool though. I might add snow and rain later on.

I'll see what I can do about the trees. Cant really use something like a speed trees solution. afaik, blender cant handle that many image billboards at once very well.

I don't understand your last question. That's what I'm trying to do right now. I want a massive world I can walk around in. Blender cant handle this many objects in the scene at once. It would crash immediately. I set up a system that records objects orientation and location and saves them into chunk files. Once you play the game these files are read and interpreted as game objects. You can see the way that's structured in the "data" directory of the file I posted.

The nipple is a moon but I accidentally extruded a face on it and forgot about it.

Blender might be able to handle a million in game. I haven't tried that or kept track of it. I know it can handle around 4k or 5k objects in a scene at once pretty well. With an LOD script, you can do a lot with that.

Tbh your plants looked good in the screenshot, but again, they weren't visible in the game. I just saw the ground terrain. The top 4 plants has a trick though, their normal maps are edited, so if you're going to use them, you should use 'as is' or they will lose the soft shading feature.

The top of the head is shaped really badly, temples don't go in like that in anime. Also from the side it looks like she's leaning forward in intense concentration or something(the shape), I think the head should be a little further back on the neck/"resting" more on it. Seems like it would look pretty good if you shaped it a little better.

I really don't see why you'd want to just use a texture, though unless you're going for a game model. It's not like anime modelling is very strict on topology, especially not with the other techniques in that thread.

In the camera attributes, check near / far clip plane. Zbuffer fuckups like this can be fixed by making the near number a bit higher, and the far number lower. Don't take them too far, otherwise stuff will get clipped, and not drawn if you zoom in / out too much.

Ok here's the shaded and wip-textured head with an attempt at the changes you suggested. I ended up almost going in circles with some of it, pushing things around, rendering, being unhappy and then reworking a few times.

Yeah, I think she's a bit crosseyed in those renders. I just rotated them equally, and so they're kind of derping out. Pic shows the basic setup, should work in most any renderer I think. Skin is just the sss skin shader that comes with arnold, which is a lot like the one in mental ray. There's a few decent tutorials on how to setup the mental ray version, and they can explain it much better than I can.

Its looking nice, but you should add more tones to the face; like, add some layers of a pinkish-red to areas of the skin that are thinner, and blood vessels are more visible. Then, go over those same areas with a bit of blue. Make sure these are on layers, because you'll want their opacity to be next to nothing. After I make those passes, I usually take a desaturated flesh tone and do a light pass over the whole face to tone down the reds and blues a bit. Also, you need some temperature to her face. This image describes what I'm talking about, but whoever did this went overboard; its something thats supposed to be subtle, which is the only thing you're missing right now all the subtle shit

Trash container is okay, looks too clean though.

Tires also look good I wouldn't change anyting with them. Although the dock support logs need some detail, they should be more then tapered cylinders.

I assume you used a noisemap for water. You'll get a much better result if you use turbulent noise to displace the water mesh, and an extra normal map for water surface material.

The beach sands look like plywood. And the wooden fences are too similar and simple. You might want to create a bunch of varying wooden planks and arrange them irregularly to create a rich scene. The foliage also need some work, but you can fix that later.

Actually it would make you more independent from computers, all you need is good marker or some pastels and some paper. The drawing techniques are working witout photoshop. Just have to remember that you draw on paper from bright to dark, instead from dark to bright, generally.

instead of giving you long winded comment i will just post a 3d scan witha simillar face to what you are going

I wnat you to look at 3 places mostly.
First is hwo big your jaw is and how collapse your end of masseter muscle is. Move teh end of teh jaw a bit up and smooth the are around teh ear so she dosnt look liek an alien form teh front view.

Another is your lower forehead, there is always a bump there where eyebrow muscles should lie, it was called something but i dont recall what.

And You need to work on the sides of the eyes and the skull, your temporalis muscle is lacking, the eyebrows should be pushed forward and to the sided a bit in mass, it looks weird form teh 45degree angle now.

And lastly the edges of the mouth, theres always this down going line of muscle and flesh.

Oh and the neck, man, the strenocleidomasters or what ever it is called ends up right behind the ear, so the line from the clavicle to it should be pretty straight and defined in mass.

And there may be some 'top artists', but most 'artists' in the entertainment industry a far away from top positions, and receive shitty payments.

Go take a look at human face scans once in a while and learn some things. The forms are not that defined, human features are a lot more subtle. Your forms are very extreme.

The cephalic vein leads up to the bone there, not far under it. And the curvature of the bottom lip looks extremely silly. It's like you just watched a bunch of face sculpting videos and stopped at the part where you define the major forms, not going to the face where you tone them done and smooth things out a bit.

Try working with some other shaders once in a while too... They will help show the weirdness of your model.

Huh? How is that an argument... It's even harder to create sharp forms like that early on with dynamesh than it is smooth forms O_o. But regardless, you shouldn't be going to that kind of detail level on the face with dynamesh if you're going to be meshing in a body afterwards. Bring it so you have the major forms, like eyelids are just barely working, mesh your body and then zRemesh it and start adding your details. This way you have division levels to work with.

I'm modelling from a clothed body BTW, which is why the calf looks so weird.

>still i have no idea what you find wrong with the lower lip

Really? Look at the huge ridge you have going down from the side of the lips down around the chin, nobody's lips work like that. Maybe a 70 year old lady's skin will sag and start to protrude like that, but then it's supper wrinkly. You seem to also be forgetting about teeth, looking at your side profile. You look at the chin, and draw a line up, and then see just how silly far that bottom lip is sticking out compared to the bone structure that should be underneath...

How do the arms look like when the character is in a T or Y pose. Doesn't look like they'd deform properly.

[Anonymous No.390345]

>>390340

Yeah, the shoulders don't look like they'd deform cleanly. Maybe something more like this pic?

Wood looks like a wallpaper instead of actual wood. Ever heard of a bumpmap kid ?

I think your wood likes like plastic.
other than that look like gun to me.

[Anonymous No.390369]

Not him, but that really depends on the type of sanding and polish job you do.

I know it was another person. How would it make sense if it were the same person? I just don't like noobs giving other noobs advice on how to noob harder.

It looks fine. You have a disease that's making you think that any 3d model should look grimy and bumpy enough to look "next gen".

[Anonymous No.390378]

>>390371
no, I just know that wood is bumpy and doesn't look like fucking plastic. rest of the gun has scratches and dents, which means the wood must have perished even more.

suck on that gayboy

[Anonymous No.390392]

you need to add some wood grain to your specular right now the lights bouncing off it way too much making it look like a plastic.

You could probably get a job with work like that but the object is way to clean this is something I don't understand about modelers. Give the object some sort of story some marks a bit of scuffed up edges someones name carved into the side some cloth wrapped around the butt so it's more comfortable for the person using it.

Modelers can never seem to think of the setting the item will be used in and just focus on a 1:1 copy of an object people have 3d scanners for that.

very jerky IK on them legs even though they are nowhere near locking out (where that shit always happen), I'm guessing your hip animation compresses down on the IK and cause the flicker.

[Anonymous No.390401]

>>390396
I've seen worse. Keep going. Use less keys.

[Anonymous No.390413]

>>390396
i like the hip and torso movement. experiment a bit to try to get rid of that jerkyness. maybe lower the torso a bit?

Okay guys I am fairly new to 3D, but have been on this board for pretty long posting occasionally, so please don't flame me for this (okay I'm expecting some)...but I'd like help.

I'm kind of wondering on how to do the head for this ostrich/bee creature I'm working on...It's VERY early stages. But I can't seem to find a foothold for how to even start the topology of the head, I may need more poly's to work with but I wanna keep it as low poly as possible, and I know I'll need to delete a few edge loops on the legs, and they need a lot more detail to give them structure. I subdivided early on and regret how high poly it is

This is a WIP thread so yeah it needs a lot of work

[Anonymous No.390426]

I started this, I mainly want to work on different light passes with this so I don't want big scene but I'm thinking about making the other end of the room as if it were outside with a forest or a beach.
