Two questions: How do I return the deagle to its original position without fucking up everything? I tried to return it on 3dsmax, export it, then update the mesh in substance painter, but all of the maps are fucked.

Also, How would I render in 3dsmax with roughness, metallic, height maps? Alternatively, how do I convert these to normal, specular, etc?

Last thing, if I needed to change something in my model, would I need to do this shit all over again? (UV-ing, retexturing)

practice. it's blobby because your resolution is low and you aren't using brushes correctly.

[Anonymous No.469461]

>>469429
rougness is 'gloss' and metallic is 'specular'. But using a traditional blinn-phong type shaderd you typcially want these maps in another range.
Depending on the material PBR implementations will have them too dark though, they'll work but have a low quality to them as spec-gloss map.

>>Last thing, if I needed to change something in my model, would I need to do this shit all over again? (UV-ing, retexturing)

It depends on how big of a change you make. At the very least you would need to redo the UV’s of the part you change, and likely texture them.

Pic related, this was a flat wall, but once I added the decay I wanted to sculpt it a bit so it would look right at parallel angles, so I extracted the face, made the edits, reprojected the UV, then combined the new faces back to the rest of the wall, created new/merged vets where needed to keep quads/tris, and merged the appropriate UV’s in the UV map.

The other one was just to test how I could actually present the thing, used part of what I already had animated.

This part is for the trailer/teaser, also using what I have already animated, now I am redoing some textures and working out on the rest before continuing the animation.

Basicly the trailer is for me to see if I should keep doing it and finish the actual thing, otherwise its just the trailer, its still missing a lot.

This is what it looks like in 3dsmax (it looks the same in the renderer)

[Anonymous No.469536]

>>469524

lel How am I supposed to help if you don't specify the software? I'm guessing 3ds max?

You can connect the arm any way you like. Make hole in the mesh, target weld verts from it to the shoulder, shift+drag out new polys in edge mode etc. But why is your arm trice as dense as the rest of the mesh?

Smoothness problem: poly mode -> smoothing groups. You used loop extrusion, new polys don't automatically fallow the old smoothing.

Remember about stuff like the swift loop tool. Add extra geometry at the joints.

[Anonymous No.469545]

>>469536

I'm more worried about the topology and how it looks. The problem is that the legs don't look smooth and the arms, but the body looks smooth.

Anyway, I went with the shift drag like you said, but I still don't like how it joined together.

This looks like a reversed normals issue…can you turn on face normals and post a pic? What are you exporting to?

[Anonymous No.469549]

>>469545
Can I see the reference image for this please?

[Anonymous No.469553]

>>469547
It's not the normals.
All the other maps (spec, gloss, normal) are fine, its just that for whatever reason the diffuse map that substance painter outputs is fucking black. How do I fix this? This is the diffuse map that it's outputting with the PBR SpecGloss config preset.

[Noradninja No.469558]

>>469553
A quick search found this:

‘If you are exporting PBR spec/gloss map, the metal in the diffuse will be black. Metal doesn't have a color. The color comes for the reflectance value. In PBR Spec/Gloss this means the diffuse color must be black. The Specular map will have color in the metal areas, which are actually the reflectance value for the metal.

This diffuse map is not a traditional diffuse texture. Its purpose is to be used with a PBR shader. So with PBR Spec/Gloss, you will see that the metal reflectance value is placed in the specular map and metal areas will be black in diffuse.’

So, I think the issue is that the shader you are using in 3DS Max is not taking the PBR workflow into account, and therefore you are seeing a black body. I think you would need a proper PBR shader in 3DS Max to be able to use these maps the way they are intended.

Hope this helps.

[Noradninja No.469559]

>>469558
From what I can find in the same thread, you would need to export a Blinn/Phong diffuse to get the traditional type of diffuse map you are looking for to plug into the shader you are using in 3DS Max, although I am unsure how it would turn out.

You shouldn't have just blindly blended it over his spots. I think it would look a lot better if you masked the spots out of the bump pattern and left them a solid colour. Also, maybe use the spots as a slight bump or indent and have the bump texture you added deform around them a little.

I didn't intended to do any more with this rig, I just wanted to learn dynamic IK/joints and had the mesh lying around. Although the thought of rigging a full body, maybe adding some softbody dynamics, and some "accessories", is tempting. On the other hand modelling a full body for the purpose of making sexual animations that i can't exactly use for folio work or show anybody i want to retain the respect of seems quite pointless.

The modeled roof beams and your door frames are not to scale compared to the windows and especially the texture you put in the roof. Also, the bottom of most stairs you can walk under is a flat surface.
Suggestion- nab a well proportioned human model from somewhere. I tend to use something ripped from say PS2-era games because it will be low poly (compared to now), doesn’t matter though. Use that as the base scale of 6 foot (72 inches). The average door frame height is 80 inches, or 6 foot 8 inches, and anywhere from 26-40 inches wide, depending on the door size. From there you can generally get a good scale of everything else, but you need a solid basis for comparison.

Most of the doors are double doors using measurements i found online. i was only supposed to double the downstairs doors but accidently carried it through. One single door can be seen inside on the left middle, and this definitley looks tall and narrow.

This maybe because there is no frame and the width i've used for the holes is supposed to be the width inside the frame.

I will be going through and rechecking these measurements and adjusting where necessary. Thanks for the input and advice for scale

[Noradninja No.470285]

That makes sense, especially if the openings are without the frame. I’m happy to help, I actually recently spent a fair amount of time doing a house myself so had to work out the scale issues, although I also had a lot of references because I was duplicating a real life building, and that sort of thing helps.

The background is fine, probably. Maybe try other neutral colors, like beige or taupe, dark blue is also okay.

Honestly, unless your background is white, because of color theory or whatever it's going to have an impact on the model in the foreground (and I don't mean reflected light, which obviously you can programmatically turn off)

Would you mind talking a little bit about the process or information you use to rip and manipulate these models?

[Norad Ninja No.470569]

>>470542
Depends- If you are doing offline rendering, that can make it easier to manage. If you are going for real time, each additional material is going to create a draw call switch, which will increase GPU overhead, so a single texture/material is the preferred way for performance reasons.

[Norad Ninja No.470570]

>>470569
Also, even if its a single material, you can separate the parts into UV islands and group them together by material on a single texture map if it makes it easier for you organization wise to paint.

Brah, maybe look at all the tools in your modeling menu first. You don't need to create a vertice and then connect it, just select the multi-cut tool and you can create points wherever and have them connect to wherever you want at the same time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUr9Nr7HZpo

Also, yeah, there's no real modifier stack unfortunately, but the history chain is modifiable, all your past operations show up in the attribute window on the right (the one with all the tabs). So you can go back and adjust the bevel divisions, or whatever other properties of an operation you did. Though it isn't as potential-issue-free as Max's modifier stack.

[Anonymous No.470808]

>>470805
Well he did the hardest part already and he did it pretty well if he really is a beginner so I just figured the rest would be easy. Besides it uses pretty much the same steps he used for the body, I don't see the problem here.

But alright:
-Separate the individual body panels from the rest of your mesh (by the way it would have been easier to build every piece individually)

-Put some edgeloops around the outside edges so the parts keep their shape

-Extrude the edges of the panels inwards a bit and give that an edgeloop too so you get a nice, crisp but smooth edge.

-Copy the inside edges/vertices from around your windows and other holes and use those to make your windows (this way they'll match the car)

-Use Box modelling or whatever you're comfortable with to make headlights, taillights and other details. You can go high-detail and model everything inside the lights or just slap a texture on.

-Make a rudimentary interior with some simple seats, nobody likes an empty car or non-see-through windows to hide it.

-Make some rims, techniques vary wildly depending on what you want to do but if it's a normal 5 spoke rim or something, model one segment, duplicate around a circle and join the pieces.

-Make some tires out of cylinders, normal map will usually do it for the tread

-Make some shaders, this is easy for cars, always use fresnel reflections on the paint and glass, otherwise it'll look like crap

-Get some free HDR sphere that everyone and their mom has used before and make a cheesy rendering

-Congratulations.

If it helps, pic is a car I modeled ages ago, here you can see roughly how it's set up and made of lots of different meshes. Don't try and make everything out of a single shape.

Well you're not gonna learn anything about soft body rigging/deformation and you actually don't really need to rig stuff like a planes landing gear since you can just keyframe simple stuff like that, BUT that being said a plane is actually a great way to learn about animation basics.

Things like animating the landing gear and propeller are easy to do and give you a good idea about basic keyframe animation. And when you're done with that you can have the plane fly around which is also great for learning about animation so I think it's a good start.

Character animation is a whole different story, I think it's best so start with something simple like this.

People on 4chan in general are against DOF and motion blur for some reason, if it's for a presentation I'd find a forum to get a second opinion. Personally I think the DOF looks nice. As for color grading, a properly done post will never hurt your composition.

Look at some examples of product visualization, for example here http://www.maxwellrender.com/index.php/industries/design
One thing I've noticed is that the more the presentation leans toward an overall finished product the heavier it will be on effects, while the more it leans toward a purely mechanical presentation the less post it will have. Makes sense to me, since the focus of mechanical visualization is clarity.

Both are fine IMO. I dunno which I prefer. The one without blur makes it seem more like it came out of a 3D graphics program though and less... natural? I don't know how to describe it precisely.

Here's another one I just finished working on, the model isn't by me, I just worked on the animation and rendering.

Overall this one is way more colorful and full in itself, with all the bolts and parts.

Agreed. It's very easy to do DOF wrong (I would know), but done right, and to something that looks good already, it looks AWESOME

Nice, it's oddly satisfying to watch the parts come together too. Also I know how much of a pain in the ass those CAD models can be so nice work.

I'm the guy who mentioned the blurryness btw. And I didn't mean the DOF, I think that is fine. I meant the overall sharpness of the image, which I guess is a matter of preference, I prefer a sharper look so I'll usually use a sharpening filter for my AA settings.

Anyway, your animations look very clean and comprehensible which is usually what customers from the industrial sector want (which I'm assuming this is for). I don't think it needs any more eye candy and the DOF is fine for this application.

Added some tufts of fur or w/e, something to add a bit of interest. Since i don't have any intent on what this character is for i'm kinda lost on direction for the design.
Polycount seems a bit high but looking at the wireframe it's not too unoptimised, plus i don't really care about sticking to a low count.

>A picture posted on 4chan will never be hdr, do you even know what that is you moron? I bet you don't even know the difference between colorspaces.

You take a high dynamic range image, and you use it to drive lighting effects in the renderer. 99.999% of all monitors are 8bit, so they all bake down to LDR in the end.

If you look outside your window you realize that this isn't a problem with the quality of /3/. It's a problem with the quality of humans living on the face of the planet. That said, I feel your pain bro.

[Anonymous No.471741]

>>471738
>LDR
you mean sRGB? LDR isn't a proper term
and it has nothing to do with monitors being 8bit, the gamma correction came so that the image displayed on a monitor or hdtv didn't look different when viewed on a crt, and it stuck even though crts aren't used anymore

[Anonymous No.471744]

>>471741
LDR is something that has a low dynamic range. Something that is 8bit, with a range of 0-255 is accepted to be low dynamic range. This is the final output of your display. SRGB is a curve over the output pixels that's neither here nor there.

In sum, learn to take even halfway decent photographs. HDR has been used extensively since 2001 in digital photography

This one pissed me off, I rendered the whole png sequence at 30FPS, but the project is using 25, so not only did I waste hours of rendering time, but I had to use frame blending to get rid of the jerkiness.

Also I'm not satisfied with the motion rythm, but it's too late to change any of that now.

[Anonymous No.471813]

so I'm rendering this in mental ray and trying to composite it in photoshop, but I'm not sure which render passes are best to use or how to blend them and I cant find any good tuts. Any help?

I dont understand what the image of the tree in the top left is. I'm assuming it's a window, but that makes the wall paper thin. It is also a very strange place for a window. ALso it's clipping through the floor below it, you can see some space just above the shelves. The outside images are also way too low quality, and the green bounce light gives the place an eerie feeling.
