shat this out yesterday at around 1am

[Anonymous No.578668]

Is possible to import individual texture maps to substance painter and combine them all together? E.g. can I import all the textures (albedo, normal, roughness etc) from Poliigon to SP and normally paint the model with it?

>>578691
shit, is it really?

is the workflow
>paint directly on to model >take uvmap and add fine tune >finished?

[Anonymous No.578873]

>>578866
The workflow depends. For realistic stuff, especially complex hard surface with a fuckton of confusing UVs, I start with generators then paint/project stuff onto the model as much as possible.
SP helps for that, though. Since it's piss poor at... actually painting, and you might wanna do some PS painting for your stylized textures, painting directly onto the UVs might come in handy there.

I didn't make the dancing animation, which is a mocap file, but I made everything else. The particle system is advected by a smoke simulation.

Is it houdini or cinema? Can you post this dude walking?

[Anonymous No.578882]

It's Houdini. Do you mean a sim with the same effects but walking? I don't have the time to sim and render it at the moment if that's what you mean

[Anonymous No.578886]

>>578877
Seeing as you use houdini. Can you tell me please how to export a whole scene from houdini to maya so i can render it in redshift and not that shitty CPU hungry Mantra

[Anonymous No.578888]

>>578886
I used Redshift to render that, you can just install it for Houdini. The license is not software locked.

[Anonymous No.578894]

>>578877
if your particles fell to the ground faster then it would be easier to see the dancer.

attempting to model my first somewhat anatomically correct nude model.

[Anonymous No.578906]

>>578888
How long did it take you to render that (also what GPU u have) i still need to transfer it to Maya tho so i'd still appreciate it if you knew how to do that

[Anonymous No.578908]

>>578906
I don't know how to export for Maya sorry, but there are a few tutorials out there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI-Nu8j0nA4

There was a lot of out-of-core rendering so it took a while. About 5-10min per frame out of core, 1-2mins in core. About 18 hours all up for 240 frames with a GTX 1080. If there were slightly less particles and it stayed in-core it would have been drastically faster

Does it still makes sense to use Redshift when you render mostly out of core?
I think using Krakatoa would be the clever alternative.

[Anonymous No.578925]

>>578922
I don't have Krakatoa and it's very rare for Redshift to go out of core for me. I don't typically do dense particle sims, but if I were doing them often or render time was a bigger issue then sure, Krakatoa would make sense.

I've been using mostly premade materials for texturing in substance painter, but I'm not able to find enough free stuff anymore so I need to learn how to make my own. What are good sources for really understanding not just how to use substance designer, but how to actually produce realistic materials? I wouldn't ask if learning designer wasn't tricky. I usually don't have any problems learning new software, but this one seems a bit chaotic.

When Redshift has not enough V-RAM available (full), it can use regular RAM, but gets slower in the process.

[Anonymous No.579081]

>>579006
If you're used o Node systems like Autodesk, Blender, or Maya then you will get it pretty quick. Same goes for UE4s material node system. I used UE4 shaders for about a year and in less than a week I understood it quite well. You just need to do tutorial after tutorial, documentation page after the other, and you will come to understand it. Node based experience definitely helps.

[Anonymous No.579093]

Finally finished baking this thing and can move onto texturing

[Anonymous No.579094]

>>579093
Something is sincerely wrong with your grip. Looks like smoothing groups error or your highpoly wasn't mesh smoothed when you baked. Any way, somethings wrong.

[Anonymous No.579095]

>>579094
That's substance painter shadows, I think it only relies on the low poly and ignores vertex normals somewhat, so it produces some faceting on curves sometimes.

Actual bake is fine though

[Anonymous No.579350]

>>579343
The shapes read well and have some interesting variety, good blockout. The only part I'm not too keen on is the jet engine so far, I think it could use some more shape variation (and not just things sticking out) so it looks more complex than a glorified box. Could be as simple as panel cuts or whatever will link it to the arm, basically anything to make it look functional as well.

[Anonymous No.579355]

>>578877
there is something weird, is it mocap? It likely is, and at what framerate?

Basicly you can see the spawning of the particles, like they all spawn at each frame meaning that you can see the multiple frames, kind of like onion skin in traditional animation.a

The first frame is great to see this, you can see what position the character was doing at each frame before instead of being a smooth trail.

If you had a higher framerate animation you could bypass this since you would have particles spawning in between frames.

I guess its more of a personal nitpick but other then that its great so this issue just stands out.

Are you using a quad view to lay the path? It really helps. Also doing sections of the path and combining them after you're done helps a ton too when you need- I do that when I need pipes that bend on all three axis.

Upper receiver and mag is some sort of carbon steel (coated), lower receiver is some sort of stainless steel (more metallic, sorry for not knowing my gun metals better) and grip is plastic/polymer.

The jet engine is going to be part of a larger flight unit and it's not done yet. I'm just trying to figure out the basic direction and refining from there. My work flow is weird I guess. It will be more detailed and refined later. I've started on the leg.

Yeah it's got a slight bit of stepping, probably more noticeable because I had to cut the video to be 3mb, in the longer version it's a relatively smaller portion:

The stepping was a lot worse initially, I brought it down to a level I was comfortable with but with more substeps and further tweaks it would be better I agree.

>>579498
>>579497
I really like the design, going for the big leg approach was a good choice. What is inside it though? If they are bottles and cans could you put a human reference model in a shot for scale? It's hard to understand the scale right now

[Anonymous No.579519]

well the idea is coming from a classic vending machine. The scale is indeed a bit tricky, because of the legs. the part above the bottles is meant for advertising. other that it would function like a regular vending machine

[Anonymous No.579522]

>>579519
If the bottles and cans are that small, it seems like the vending machine window is like 2-3 meters off the ground. Or do the legs articulate and lower the machine?

[Anonymous No.579530]

I adjusted the bottle scale and added future VISA card support. I think the scale looks more believable now.

Thanks for the advice so far.

Well it would be cool to add a move animation to the vendor machine and put it into Unreal. I think for the moment I will just finish the texturing and call it done.

I baked a texture set and I'm getting the same result. I UV'ed it (although just used flatten mapping, heh, b-but it looks pretty fine in this case!).

How can I know if I'm learning bad techniques in modelling? E.g., is this a good or a bad way to make a detail on doors? (Look at around 8:00 mark)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbhl6g2h798&t=822s

He makes 2 separate meshes for a door and probably connects them together. Will this fuck up textures later on?

Other way of doing it was just using a lot of extrusion and beveling, but it is slower and it produces tons of triangles in the corners.

[Anonymous No.579748]

>>579746
looks fine

[Anonymous No.579763]

>>579746
Spline profiles are fine, you don't *have* to use them but they're the fastest (and most easily tuneable) way to get some shapes in Max that would otherwise have to be done with a lot of extrusions. They're very commonly used in archviz, to make stuff like trims.

You can decide for yourself if a technique is good or bad based on the speed, and quality of results it provides. That's all there is. When in doubt feel free to ask someone else, tho.

[Anonymous No.579764]

>>579763
As far as making two meshes, it just means your textures won't be continuous, which is fine if the door is made out of several different panels (which most doors are). You should basically avoid as much as possible splitting your meshes where objects would be continuous in real life, but whenever there's actual separations between pieces, feel free to split your mesh/UVs/whatever for convenience.

[Anonymous No.579806]

>>579803
first of all, did you box model this? this has all the hallmarks of someone box modeling something into the rough shape they want and then just smoothing the shit out of it. the inside of that ear looks like you smoothed the default topology on a sphere or cylinder where there are many triangles all merging on a single vert and it gives that nasty result when smoothed. that's a big no-no. you need to get much better at topology if you want to use this method.

or you can take the easy way and use zbrush instead. however, you're still going to need to learn topology eventually for final retopo once your character is finished. but zbrush makes the creation of forms much easier and you're less likely to get these ugly bizarre topologically induced creases.

also speaking purely from the design perspective, that pointy ass chin is not attractive at all, it's disgusting. if you want your character to be cute or appealing at all you should round it out considerably. i can't tell from this angle whether the muzzle is too long still but it was definitely WAY too long before. but there is no way to tell if you fixed it from this pic.

[Anonymous No.579807]

Personally I think that the nose is making the mouth look weird. Don't get me wrong, the face does look weird below the eyes. In motion, if the mouth had a large range of expression then it might not look so odd, idle poses can be deceiving. But it all just kinda blends together, hard to tell where the nose ends and the mouth begins. I will work on refining the face some more to flesh it out.

I've fallen in love with Fusion 360. I haven't done parametric modeling before I downloaded the program a few weeks ago but I'm learning with Youtube and Google as one does.

Once I have the basic surface design down I'll export it to ZBrush and add the big dents. After that, it will get 3D printed in ABS, assembled, Bondo'd on the outside, fiberglassed on the inside, sanded, primed, textured, painted, weathered, sealed, and sold.

If my budget increases I'll buy materials to make a silicone mold of the helmet so I can make copies much faster than my 3D printer can.

It's not the same model because I have a big folder of very old models from a software called Animation:Master and I forgot the file name of the gorilla, but this should give you an idea.

Not so fast. /k/ here, looks great but the wire stock is too thin, the looping buttstock area is too tall, the charging handle cones are too large in diameter, the bolt catch isn't serrated, the plastic grip is one piece so there shouldn't be a split, and the ears on the rate reducer cap at the base of the grip are too small.

You obviously want to get things right so I lend you my autism.

>>579449
>>579451
The upper receiver, barrel and the aft half of the stock are painted, the grip is plastic or beech the rest of the gun and magazines are phosphated/parkerized. That all looks great but with that knowledge you could add chipping or wear to the charging handle track, pin areas, front sights where the stock is captured, ejection port and the edges/corners.

Approximating means that as you increase the number of subdivisions your model loses volume. Interpolating means the curves always go through the original vertices.

I think she needs to accelerate from her up pose into the downward pose a little quicker, not sure if you're in control of that but I think it would sell the transfer of energy into the ground a little better.
And if you haven't tried it, maybe try starting the explosion 1 to 3 frames earlier, right now you can see the furthest down pose before the explosion starts but I think it might look a little better if you time it to where the explosion is already starting at that point.

The broomhandle is the most chill of pistols. Want me to fire from a magazine? Sure thing, let's do that. Want me to fire from a clip? Sounds great, let's make it happen. Want to pretend I'm a rifle? Okay, let's use my wooden holster as a butt stock. Want to use me with a foregrip? Sure, we can make it happen.

The broomhandle just wants to please so if you want a scope, the broomhandle will find a way to make it happen.

Naw, man. What if something like that went rogue. One second, you're ordering a caucasian the next, you're starring in crush porn. Also, bottles is not an ergonomically sound approach. The up and down from walking would cause mass spills. Best to make a few reloadable vats, invisible to the natural eye. Then buttons and a single spout to dispense duraware with ordered drink.

If anybody has any criticisms I'd would like to hear them. For context this is a player character for a game, I think I am almost done touching the geometry but there are a few areas that I would like to touch up/get a second opinion on.

Looks nice but I don't understand the choice of tris in certain places when it looks like they could just be quads.

[Anonymous No.581205]

>>581197
Thanks.

>>581202
So some of those are me trying to control the flow of the invisible edge of a quad. I.e. The quad was defaulting to a edge that bumped out in a way not becoming of the butt. The top two panels of my pic related show what happened if I let blender make a default quad vs my "fix". The highlighted areas are the same spot on the mesh but with the edges crossing cater-cornered. The bottom left is also an example. I bet having quads that are so non planar to create this problem in the first place is bad practice but I have never been explicitly told so.

The one on the bottom right of your image is just 3 tris there to start another edge in between two edges, better seen in the bottom right panel of my pic. Now that you point that out I suppose I could have done that with one tri and a quad, but the target platform, unity, dose not actually use quad integrity in lighting so everything gets treated as tris in the end.

>>581205
you have another problem. you have bending faces on the behinds.
it should flow like this

you can easily solve it by adding a loop or bevel the problematic loop
it seems like tris is the easy solution to this. but consider reworking that area

Here's an even better explanation: you're trying hard to re-invent the wheel with your Blender and faling miserably. Pic related is how it's supposed to be done. Sorry for the toxic masculinity

your lamps emit 0 light, emission is only supposed to light an object. if you place point lights there with low intensity it should work

[Anonymous No.581224]

yep, it looks much better adding lights :) Thanks!

I've decided to recreate a few scenes from this game that I really love, starting with this. I'm not great at animating, and I'm awful at modeling people, but I'll try anyway. I'd love to get some thoughts on this.

I kind of agree since it lacks roughness. The main body just looks like a shitty half assed flat metal texture.
