3dsmax user here

question for maya bros

in 3dsmax, if I dont have "set key frame" selected and alter something in the scene, the entire animation changes and thats really nice in case you want to change the scale/location/rotation of an entire thing after you've already animated it

does maya have some way to do that? To change the scale rotation or location of an entire animation without having to change every key frame?

Looks really good. If you want one tip I'd say choose a different texture for the big vent shaft. The pattern in the metal in that photo is due to faceting, but the material you put on looks more like it was sponge painted.

[Anonymous No.558557]

>>558545
You can use animation layers or the time editor to layer animation. You can also use the graph editor to easily alter many keyframes at once.

If your rig setup allows, ou could also just create an extra adjustment group containing the objects you want to reposition.

The cheeks are real fat, it looks fine from the side but like she's eaten too much Lovin' It from the front. Try to make it more "triangular" if that makes any sense (pic related). As in, straighten out that concave curve in between the chin and the end of the jaw. Then I'd tone down the cheeks themselves and scale down the sides of the faces along the X axis.

Your neck is also extremely thin. Don't be afraid to put some meat in there, in this type of style you can get away with some thin necks, but not this thin. Pull them back as far as an imaginary line behind the ears afterwards.

Your ears look like bent thumbs. If your character has lots of hair, don't worry so much about adding ears right away, as hair can often hide a lot of them. You can always add in a proper ear by combining two meshes together or cutting a hole in the side of the face. The ear doesn't animate like the rest of the face, so super proper topology isn't a major concern there.

https://sketchfab.com/models/33d642e65f124644af17d1177291d9fa

I suggest you look at models with cranial topology similar to yours like this, and then just copy the shit out of them. Keep looking at references and keep plugging away at it until you get to something you're really satisfied with, my man. Your stuff's not there yet but I've seen a lot worse.

Fuck, I wouldn't make that tradeoff ever, even though most people will tell you to do exactly that here. Anime babes are where it's at for me, realistic is as boring as it gets.

Either way, to each his own in this case. But don't throw away the work you've done so far, that's the biggest cardinal sin you could commit. Put that shit on a folder so you can come back to it at some point.

I was exactly where you are well into my twenties, fretting over everything, trashing it, never finishing anything and just not getting anywhere, ever.

Then, I finally realised I had ADHD, got myself checked out, got a proper diagnosis, underwent treatment and my life changed from night to day. I'm just angry it took so long for me or anyone else around me to come to this realisation.

Seriously, you may have ADHD-PI ('primarily inattentive').
Go see someone about it, don't wait for it to magically get better, because it won't - again I'm totally serious. Even if they find you don't have ADHD, they'll offer help for your productivity/confidence problems - if it's something that's causing you mental distress (this is the point you need to emphasise) - someone will take you seriously and try to help.

[Anonymous No.558924]

>>558923

Anon is correct when he says someone will offer you help for this;

If you're a male under the age of thirty who expresses symptoms of depression because of a lack of productivity you are instantly 100% on their radar for being a suicide risk, believe it or not.

In fact it's pretty standard in ADHD screening to ask the patient if they've had suicidal thoughts because of a lack of productivity.

[Anonymous No.559042]

>>558973

Hey - if you've been diagnosed with it, why aren't you taking treatment?
Also, long-time medication user here; therapy does not work, pills do. Don't bother with CBT it is 100% a waste of time, just get the meds and take the, as prescribed. As I've said - they changed my life. I honestly don't know if I'd be here today if I'd not started taking them because I was so depressed about my situation and future prospects.

Also - you'll be offered two types of pills;
Methylphenidate hydrochloride (adderall / Ritalin / medikinet / tranquilyn are the brand names).
This is my *greatly* preferred choice over the other thing they'll offer you:

Dexamfetamine sulfate. (Don't know any brand names for this one). I tried the dexys for about two weeks; horrible. It just refuses to leave your system, so even long after the perceivable effects have worn off - you're still totally wired, and like, not in a fun way or anything. You just cannot sleep. Also - and this isn't a joke; my hair just started coming out in clumps in the shower. Read up about it and yep; amfetamines cause hair loss. So, ah, no thanks for the dexys.

But methylphenidate? Holy shit yes. Saved my life. Don't abuse it, take it as prescribed, and it might do the same for you.

Drink coffee in the meantime if you don't already.
It seems silly because it's coffee, but don't underestimate how ridiculous caffeine can be for focusing. Would recommend to anyone having trouble staying on task.

[Anonymous No.559057]

>>559048

This is fine advice for normal folk but medicating ADHD with coffee is like putting a band-aid on a broken neck.

ADHD is a symptom of not having enough dopamine in your system. Caffeine isn't really any kind of substitute for dopamine, unfortunately.

No UVs tho...

Is it shit? and why?

[Anonymous No.559059]

>>559058
It's a start.
What a you trying to show off tho? I ask because a bunch of stuff in that scene is kinda stuck in 2nd gear.

The character is a) not yours and b) too basic for it to be about character work.
The environment kinda looks like it could lead to something, but you need to take it further (the bones on the floor are a fine piece of story-telling - they could be developed and expanded upon).
The lighting is serviceable.

Overall it's certainly a start, but you need to kinda have a word with yourself about exactly what it is you wanna achieve with the piece before you move on.

I'd increase the readability or contrast between mike and the background, either via color or light. Add some color variation for the bones and rocks. It also feels very rendered (fuzzy). Cool.

[Anonymous No.559062]

>>559059

You could do the storytelling with the environment without 'Mike' actually being in the scene.

Consider the concept again (which is a fine one btw);

Previously loveable Mike from Monsters Inc. has somehow gone feral/evil and turned into an actual monster - ok, fine.

Think how you could communicate this idea to the audience just by showing the contents of his home/lair while not actually having Mike in the shot.

Severed arm of his blue furry pal just peeking into shot?
Blood spattered, torn up mail from Monsters Inc informing him he's been fired?

It would be fun to see evidence of mike's descent into madness like an alcoholic or something.

Thanks guys! To be honest, I didn't really have a plan or anything for this, I just started doing something. I'm not a character guy so I don't really have any ambitions with this but I'll consider your advice for next time.

My main interest with this was the environment and the general composition, but I agree with you that there still is much to do..

Honestly I think what makes it nice is that it's a complete/finished work. You've got various sizes of rocks, interesting structures (both organic in the arches, and manmade in the buildings), a variety of vegetation, secondary details (the clutter and tanks around the building), even a sky with little clouds in it, and everything fits thematically.

Sure, it may be memepoly, and there might be some ugly stuff (like the fucked up cactus models, grass not fitting in with the style, and the composition being passable but not that striking), but all the things I mentioned above (basically making your piece feel "complete" will give a major boost to whatever you work on.

[Anonymous No.559078]

>>559073
Hey - yup, ditto the lack of any high on MDMA / ecstasy. MDMA doesn't amp up dopamine but serotonin (I think? Might be wrong...) but anyway yeah, serotonin and dopamine are closely related and I think a lack of one normally goes hand in hand with the other so, yeah - while your friends were experiencing a surplus of serotonin, you were probably just getting up to normal levels.

That said - *one time* I did X and the person giving it to me said it was particularly good stuff, I swallowed it and said 'whatever, it's never worked before' and that was the one and only time it actually worked and it was pretty cool. Methylphenidate gives me a very mild version of that feeling but without the mania, the horniness, and of course - the feeling that the entire planet fucking wants to kill you two days after taking it.

It looks really good but the grass is kinda jarring.... Your image prompted me to look at pictures of "desert grass" on google and it seems that most of the vegetation around these desert-y areas grows in more concentrated tufts?

Unless I'm missing something here, it shouldn't be growing so evenly everywhere. It's also entirely green which wouldn't fly around a desert, usually they dry out and attain a more brown-ish, washed out coloration towards the tips.

Hey, not /3/ related but, looks like I'll get to see a psychiatrist sooner then later.

From what I read, the psychiatrist will treat what they feel is the dominate mental illness. Since I have been having thoughts of hanging myself everyday, it will most likely lead them to treating depression, yeah?

I feel the depression stems from lack of achievement, though. Which, is largely due to my extreme difficulty focusing on a task.

>>559288
Nice second attempt anon, it's much better than your first! Glad to see you have chosen not to stray from The Path.

A few more tips or things I would *personally* do differently:

- It's okay to have a rounder nose. This is down to personal preference I guess, and if you think it looks okay from a side perspective, then great. I would bevel the line that cuts the nose in half and smooth out that part.

You can have a fairly pointy-looking nose while still having it be "smooth" this way. But right now, it looks like you could slice someone's neck open with it.

- Give some more flair to those eyelashes. They're naturally very "wild" and animu exaggerates this even more since they're that much bigger. Extrude some filaments outwards towards the ends, don't be afraid to add more volume to them. Modelling and adding in some eyebrows at a neutral position might seem like a small thing to do right now, but it also goes a long way to making it look way more natural.

- Add in some hair. At some point you'll have to bite the bullet and do this, even though it can be dumb and complicated. Like >>559296
said, the majority of anime heads are covered by hair, it can be a huge part of what gives a character, character. Until then, it can be very hard giving more accurate critique, as the face is simply unfinished without it.

Hi hopefully I'm not responding to this too late, but I had exactly the same problem when getting my diagnosis; I was depressed *because* of my ADHD and they were trying to treat the depression. I had to really emphasise the ADHD symptoms.

Just really keep stressing that your depression is a result of what you suspect is ADHD - just keep talking about your lack of focus and attention and how you get distracted by other things and that you get depressed *after* you've been distracted and that you weren't looking for a distraction as a result of being depressed.

Don't give up. They may ignore you a couple of times. Just keep going back. It took me a couple of times before I got a referral to an ADHD specialist. Good luck.

firstly don't start your concepting in the modeling stage, do a bunch of silhouette drawings of shapes
don't even work on this one anymore, just do some drawings and then pick and mash and then do your modelling
if you can't draw then just bash together a bunch of simple geo shapes until you get shape that you like and then work it from there

Look at real world examples. Get references pictures, or, even better, real life objects. think about the topology beforehand, especialyl if youre going to subdivide (which you should, if you want it to look good). Draw edges on your reference in photoshop or with a pencil on actual objects you own IRL.

Don't even think about modeling until you know exactly what you want the end result to look like and have a solid idea of how you're gonna get it done.

say that to my face fucker see what happens!


I can adjust the steepness via slider. It can produce stupid results, but it's convenient for fitting escalators into 3D models quickly without rebuilding anything. Just draw a curve, adjust the sliders so it looks okay and then bake.

I know escalators typically come in set dimensions, but when I get a section and standard escalators don't match, I simply make my own instead of telling the client that his building is wrong.

At first glance, I notice that the middle of the torso is too angular. Maybe that's what you're going for, or maybe, you just haven't gotten that far. Either way, I'd suggest adding some curvy-ness to that part of the torso.

[Anonymous No.559840]

>>559808
You're getting good fast, my man. This is your best attempt compared to your other two.

- Try to make the hair more "banana-peel" like. It has a lot of volume inwards, you want to make the strands look like thick shells facing outward. Try to make the ends pointier as well. The sides of the hair are especially jarring, they look squashed. You want pretty curves, not lines.

- Push out the upper lip a tiny hint? It looks like from the pictures that the lower lip is ahead of the upper lip. It should be the opposite.

- Make the neck a bit thicker. No neck is that thin.

Were you going for a Luka aesthetic? It turned out pretty similar. They grow up so fast, soon I won't have to give you any advice.

Oh, and one more thing! Put some highlights in the eye. You can either draw it into the texture or make a separate mesh for them, but from the method you chose, it's better to make separate meshes and position them next to the irises.

How do you like my brick material?

[Anonymous No.559910]

>>559907
A lot about this is fucked. Bump is too strong all-over, you should definitely take some time to blend some nodes together and make a nicer microsurface, especially make sure to have a variation of flat and bumper areas (you can use Max/Lighten with a flat color to "shave off" the top of a map).

I'm not sure what the pink damage is supposed to be referenced from, but it shouldn't all be the same color, and shouldn't be a hard break between damaged/undamaged areas (use a slope blur or something, at least).

A couple other things you can do:
-Give your bricks a very slight random rotation to uneven the interstices and make them look more hand-placed.
-Create a second (identical) tile generator with luminance variation, and use it to change the color of individual bricks (they shouldn't all be the same color).
-Use the aforementioned tile generator as the intensity input of a directional warp, to "move" your damage per-brick. making it so that these pits and cracks don't continue from a brick to another (this isn't the type of damage that would.)

It's meant for real time, as videogame asset practice.

Also I'm trying a new workflow for it:

-Custom vertex normals + tileable textures so I dont't have to bake while having smooth edges and getting brutal texel density

-Detail as decals; every bolt, rivet and panel line you see on the image im following, is added as a decal with its own geometry + trim textures. Vertex count skyrockets, but you dont lose much performance and you get insane texture detail for those little things.

It's a problem of the mesh, not of the texture, on the vertical edge you see the texture is perfectly tileable, but there is a big seam on the right horizontal edge, combine an uv seam with that much of a bevel on the mesh, and you wont be able to properly unwrap it so it looks good...

So the texture is alright (I'd say tiles should be less rough and the concrete in between should be rougher), but it looks kind of bad because of the mesh used to showcase it.

It should't matter, if there chair was based of a real chair or even if it wasn't it just used to get the shape. Using the shape as reference, and a combination of real work examples you can make a realistic chair from a 3d refrance. I get what your saying, using another 3d image a refrance breeds errors but as long as you can back up the image with real thing it shouldn't matter.

Was wondering if it is possible to create two different UVs for one mesh in Z-brush? For instance, a UV map for the head. Then, a UV map for the rest of the body. I've researched online, and couldn't find any resources on the subject. Thanks guys, here's what I'm working on atm.

nigga your lighting is fucked, your textures are fucked, and your vertex normals are fucked

there isn't a secret to lighting other than looking at how other people light their things (and not just in games, irl and in film as well). Make your light sources static and bake lightmaps with lightmass and it should automatically look a lot better (you get GI and all sorts of shit with it). Protip: pros don't use as many lights as you might think, and they rarely go outside of the light temperature spectrum (red to blue) without a good reason. Good lights are also rarely pure white, look up a light temperature chart for lightbulbs and see where you should rank your lights depending on their type.

your materials I dunno, look up basics to PBR if you haven't already

for your vertex normals, google "weighted vertex normals" and it will unfuck your shapes.

The metal housing of the dslr prism has some pronounced beveling that's missing in your model. I would also say to bevel some of those hard edges a little bit more, they're too hard even for a "realistic" model.

[Anonymous No.560498]

>>560475
Managed to make it look better.

Result is better than I initially expected, but even then I'm not too happy with it. Though, it was useful for me to learn how to do a few things with decals and stuff so I can improve.

I should learn proper Unreal lighting...

The problem with first pic is that blender's fbx exported broke my smoothing groups and made lots of smoothing errors; because of that I didn't even tried lighting the scene (first pic doesnt have any ligths placed, only scene default sky light).

Not going to finish it though, but it will help me for future projects for sure.

[Anonymous No.560501]

>>560475
dude your asset workflow is completely fucked.
go on digital tutors or something and learn how to make assets.
learn about smoothing groups in particular and stop fucking with settings you shouldn't fuck with

Superior crab coming through...

[Anonymous No.560604]

>>560603
serious question... I have rigged this crab with armatures and suddenly (randomly) they all dissapeared... They are all still in the object list, but they arent actualy there, and I cannot pose or click on them.

It is not a hiding issue, and it is not a layer issue, nor is it a armature X-ray option related issue... any ideas?

[Anonymous No.560672]

go to your scene outliner panel and untick the lock icon on the crab's armature entry.

its unprofessional and no one will take you seriously

its like if you were applying for traditional art school and all your portfolio pieces were established cartoon characters like bugs bunny and shit

also if you're directly copying someone's topology for a model it would be like tracing

employer want to see your own skills and creativity, now copying someone else's work

you should either be modelling from real life or from imagination, or from concept art that was specifically made for you, if you're serious about building a portfolio

I get what your saying, but achvis usaly isn't about designing something. From my experience it's working from a cad file or sketches so using someone elses concept art or even a 3d model dosn't seem like a big deal as long as your not "tracing" the tapoligy I don't see the negative. It's not like my room is coping the image, I'm using a single asset from the concept art for my room.

working on this lion this guy is retopologized. If I were to make this guy lying down and covered in fur is it alright that his anatomy isn't 100%? and should I start sculpting with a tablet instead of a mouse?

[Anonymous No.560819]

>>560814
you can do whatever you want with it as long as the topology is good and the rigging is good.

> and should I start sculpting with a tablet instead of a mouse?
if you like sculpting in general, you seem to have a good headstart

[Anonymous No.560820]

it's really hard to innovate on topology and if it works it works why bother changing that. Should I start using a bunch of spiral loops on models now cause it's less mainstream?
