You cant use normals to make up for topology when modeling just about anything for simulator games since skinners need to be able to modify or even redo the whole thing using height maps to add rivets and shit.

Bruv, you dont seem to get this. When you even think about sculpting a human form, you're using your knowledge of anatomy. If you have no knowledge of anatomy, you're going to create a form that doesn't even look close to a human's form. This has been pointed out to you by different posters as well. You're confusing detail with anatomy. I've really tried to help you understand but your unwillingness to get this makes me think that you're comfortable with your own ignorance.

Even a stick figure is anatomy just as much as a primitive is. If you want to create a human in either medium, you need a very base level of anatomical understanding. You cant ask an alien to sculpt a human form or draw a stick figure with no anatomy reference or knowledge

Last time I'm ever going to say this shit to you. Good luck on your future space ship box modeling.

If you want to sculpt a face, you start with sphere, and a cylinder.
-Primary form.
If you want to take it to the next level, you put it in a little oblong cube 2/3 up the face to get a cheek bone. You would need anatomical understanding of the face to do that, but you what you're preaching isn't that. You LITERALLY said you don't start with form and add anatomy to it.

Every single sculptor that is worth anything is triggered by this statement.

>you don't start with form and add anatomy to you.

This has statement ruins my fucking day, dude.

It is so wrong that it makes me question how fucking stupid people can be, because you haven't even done a moment of research, but you're giving people advice on how to sculpt.

Take five seconds and do this >>526232. You lose as soon as you start using anatomy. Even from step one when you're planning on what primitives to use, you're already using your anatomy skills. Your choice of the sphere and cylinder is based on your basic understanding of human head anatomy. If you get triggered by this, you don't understand the English language.

"What gives the form is the skull". @30:35

He pretty much explains that anatomy gives the proportions, measurement, form.. of the sculpt.

"Glauco Longhi, a Character Artist at Naughty Dog, explores how traditional sculpting foundations can set you in good stead for better digital models, and how to apply your skills from one medium to another."


Also, some guy made a thread on polycount apparently: http://polycount.com/discussion/171756/can-anyone-shed-light-on-this-discussion-on-3-form-vs-anatomy
Cherry picked comment :
"Form is a 2d shape represented in 3D.
A circles 3d form is a sphere, square is a cube, etc.
As far as anatomy is concerned, most parts can be broken down into simple forms for easier understanding/learning.
Thats really about it, there's no real "VS"."

Another one : "'Forms' and 'shapes' are just the visual simplification of anatomy."

Form is primitives, anatomy is application of those primitive to make your sculpt. If your anatomy is wrong, your overall form is most likely wrong since the form is based on your knowledge of what you're depicting (literrally the anatomy). This is same as 2D, except it's shape in 2D and form in 3D.

Stop getting butthurt and try to learn from your mistakes.

for maya it's crazy easy, go to the UV tab of options and select cylinder. Unless you're modelling like a madman it's going to perfectly line up with what you've got. Then you can adjust the cylinder by moving its manipulator boxes around or you can click on the little right hand angle and that'll let you rotate on the y axis if you need to for some reason.

Just google a video or mess around with it, that'll be a lot easier than me trying to explain it.

You should define the underlying bone structures better before adding more detail. The jaw bone should be smooth and straight. Skin taught over the cheek ridge. Make the chin/beak/nose thing smooth. Give it well defined edges and shape. Same for the forehead.

polydensity could use some changes, I see you have 20 sided cylinder for a small detail yet the big cylinders which could use more sides don't get any. Try and keep the polydensity consistent, hide lowpoly shit where it's harder to see.

Aircraft panels are incredibly small, I'd add them in the way skinners do it. After modeling everything, unwrapping on a 4k texture file and draw the panels in with a black 1px brush on a 50% gray canvas. That's basically your height map. Use a plugin in Photoshop or GIMP to convert it into a normal map and use that. If you already baked normals on it, just overlay the panel lines normals onto your bake.

>I'll check it out, fampie. Still new to modeling and I have really shit topology atm.

The game has a model viewer but currently looking at the wireframe in it seems to be glitchy, i'd recommend ripping them with ninjaripper, even though with DCS the model will come out completely messed up with the pilots head being 1000s of kilometers big, while the plane is tiny in comparison, with a bit of selecting you can easily have the main shapes and take a look at each part.

Absolutely hate these questions... There literally is no real answer. It's like asking "how long is a piece of string?".

If you are a programmer, then you know how many polygons are acceptable, if you are not a programmer, TALK TO YOUR PROGRAMMER.

If you are just doing it for practice don't even worry about the polycount, just make it look good. Polycount can be scaled down easily, so rather use more than less.

I'm sure you mean well, but that is the worst advice you could possibly give him. For any real time art, less is best. You should always aim to use as few triangles and verts as possible. Most new 3d artists make the mistake of adding more loops and rings than they need instead of focusing on silhouettes and topology.

Its actually very easy to scale up if you make the base correctly, and very hard to scale down if you don't plan accordingly.

unless you've been modeling to a grid i don't know if you could snap it.

if you wanted to ask me, making it exact would be a waste of time. you can eyeball it enough to where any difference on the y-axis would be hundredths of a decimal. it would take awhile no matter what you do, but consider that trying to get all of the y values precisely uniform with one another isn't really working smart.

leaving verts within x.x0 to x.x9 on an axis is still a straight line without a magnifying glass. it would look essentially the same and not involve all of the unnecessary work.

> big nose big mouth monkey looking black man
Thats a very offensive way to stereotype a black person and borderline racist. You need to go back to /pol/

He has a big nose and lips stop being a faggot. He didn't exaggerate it in a racist way that's just what he looks like. There is nothing wrong with having those features stop ignoring reality.

I dare you to tell me that he doesn't have those features in real life, go ahead

[Anonymous No.528177]

>>528176
If you exaggerate those features to such levels, then you're dumbing down a black person to the stereotypical black guy look. Is that really all your ass sees when you look at a black guy ? I'm honestly offended that every black cartoonish character is portrayed this way.

but the actor looks like this I don't understand what you want him to do. Should he make him not look like himself?

I want you to stop being a fucking racist and stop portraying black people in such a ridiculing stereotype. Is that so hard to comprehend ?

alright that fine but this particular black person has DNA that dictates his facial features. His lips are thicker than average and his nose is wider than average. There is nothing wrong with having these features you are in fact the racist if you thing this mans natural looks are racist.

Look at finn's actor. Look at him. Look

I think he may be just a bit too light.
Not a joke or anything, it just seems like the actor has a darker skin shade than what you have now.

Youre seeing his stylized representation as similar to a monkey. No one has made that connection. No one but you is the racist here.

Whoever did it intentionally emphasized the nose and mouth features in a ridiculing way just like how racists used to depict black people to make them look like monkeys. I'm not the one who modelled it I just want him to remove the racist element out of it.

You're the only one being racist here by projecting your own views on how a person SHOULD look as opposed to how they actually do.

Thanks, anon.
I'm still working on this one.

I'm using this to study stuff.
As stated before, I'm still learning shading and texturing, so i'l trying out the development of maps in Mari and the creation of shaders in vray.

I'll show my progress in the next thread, thanks for the encouragement

neat

I don't know what your workflow is but maybe take a break and make the models more detailed before animating more? The guys pure grey shoes are a bit distracting haha

They're meant to be socks and I have them cause I'm too lazy to model toes.

Well, I was just pointing out what use this detail has, but the simplicity of the mesh clashes with the detail of textures.

How about specifying what it's gonna be used for next time? It might represent different things to different people, and since I pay lots of attention to LOD in video games, that's what I thought of first.
