That's the series, yeah. Actually, true, my "first" model was a dumpster as well, it's only that my first render was of that backpack, which would be a second real model. Hard to tell which one would be completely my own, since I usually don't want to learn bad habits and I always look up tutorials for at least something while I'm making a model.

But yeah, I think that DT course was really good, the modeler has a bit of old-school techniques though, and it takes a while to model all of that, but it teaches you a lot. I quit at the radio tutorial lol, that autistic attention to perfect topology and edge loops went over my head. In the mean time I learned not to care about it THAT much. That girl character looked kinda shitty so I ignored it, but the knowledge it provides is also probably decent.

Maybe you just not confident in yourself? A child could sculpt with a ref.

One year after I started practicing drawing I was drawing mediocre human skull studies. And by practicing I mean busting my ass all day every day with good books. I set myself A landmark to earn first money one year after I started and I did (it was 20$ and it was horrible but i did it)

"Drawing experience" is a streetchable term, I've seen one guy who claims to have 17 years of experience and is doing shit tier flat and malformed Naruto fanart.

Another guy I know has became a professional illustrator from zero within 5 years.
It quite cool he started a blog from drawing a spoon and his fist 1 point perspective boxes and posted there until he was a literal professional.

I personally would think what it takes is studying hard.
to be a professional boxer is 99,9% weight lifting and 0.1% hitting people.

from my own experience, i can tell you that is bullshit. There is at least 50% raw talent that is needed, and the other 49% is having a teacher that can teach you things that tutorials don't cover(and they don't cover A LOT, as they merely assume you know, don't care if you don't know or actively hide information to avoid having more rivals in the industry.

As i said, i have been drawing for 20 years and 3d stuff for several years as well(even though my first one was 'technically' 19 years ago or so) so you don't have to worry about me giving up.

Here is one i tried everything i knew on(without spending months on a single image)
The only thing i neglected to work on was the armpit as that was going to be covered up by something else in the final edit, but the rest is indeed the best i could do after years of learning. This is laughable compared to even some of those "my first 3d image" you see in this thread, much less to some of those in some of the other threads here

i have to go to work now, so i can't respond until tomorrow if you reply to this

p.s.: If you feel the need to critic it, don't. Unless you have an actual solution to fix it, chance is very high i already know that this or that looks bad, i just wasn't able to make it look better.

Okay, reply when you can, I won't critique anything but I have to ask this:

Exactly what learning sources did you use? Forget how many years you were doing this, how many hours per day did you invest into it? It is also VERY VERY VERY VERY important to be aware that you could do something for a loooong time and still be not quite good at it, because you didn't actually work smarter and wasn't mindful of your actions. Tell me, how many hours did you spend on this particular model? How many hours did you spend on, let's say, the mouth only? Have you ever tried LITERALLY copying every single brush move by your tutor on the areas you had a trouble with? On my first try at sculpting, I spent about an hour working on a segment that took less than 5 minutes in the video. Are you actively using references and constantly analysing the differences between them and your work? Are you downloading premade models and inspecting them in your 3D software? Do you watch and read art breakdowns and articles about 3D industry?

I can go on and on but don't have time now, so first answer me this if you can.

>you could do something for a loooong time and still be not quite good at it
that was my entire point, "you just need to practice A LOT" is not the main requirement to be good at art stuff.

>how many hours
obviously it depended on how much time i had, so even giving a rough estimate is impossible. I can just assure you it was not "I practised for a single hour in a week, that meant i had one week worth of practice"

>because you didn't actually work smarter
And i can totally assure you, THIS was absolutely not the case

>how many hours did you spend on this particular model?
countless, the base of the model(that is not the clothes) was done over the course of several years, i continued on and off working on that single model i intended to use as a base.

>Have you ever tried LITERALLY copying every single brush move by your tutor
As far as that was possible i did, like i said before, many tutorials simply assume for some reason that you know this or that. For example look at pic related. Between A and B the artist just said, i quote
>Once you have one piece of hair, simply duplicate this, reposition and reshape until you cover the head.
when there are several other steps missing that is required to make it look like B

>Are you actively using references
see reply below
>analysing the differences between them and your work?
yes
>Are you downloading premade models and inspecting them in your 3D software?
yes
>Do you watch and read art breakdowns and articles about 3D industry?
i would have to say "a little", because i have read nothing that tutorials didn't cover.

This is done with box modeling. You were amazed by that guy's character which was made by sculpting. Have you tried sculpting your characters? Show something if you did, please. Box modeling is completely different, and IMO a lot harder to get right. Also not sure why would you box model characters in 2018 anyway.

Obviously, the steps prior panel A showed it quite clearly. The other panels plus his explanations also provided information how he did the rest(at least enough to make it yourself with some trial and error) but then between A and B it stopped and it was just "just finish the rest"

>Have you tried sculpting your characters?
Yes, and i do use it occasionally
Hm, i'm not sure if i have anything right now to show though. When i said "i do use it occassionally" i meant as the first step before i make a cleaner version and then delete the sculpt version. Also as i have literally no money to spend i can't use zBrush, thus i have to rely on Blender. After our talks last time i decided to screw around with the head of the previous model i showed, but as it is female i couldn't add too many wriggles and whatnot, plus the limitations of blender, let's just say it looked better before(though for some reason i was finally able to make the ear look better today, what do you know. Eureka moments like this are the ones that helped me at least somewhat during all those years)

>Box modeling is completely different, and IMO a lot harder to get right.
Huh, funny that you said that, because finding out about box modelling made a lot of things a lot easier for me.

>Also not sure why would you box model characters in 2018 anyway.
I feel it is a lot easier to hair and clothing with it than with sculpting. Especially if you intend on making the character eventually moveable.

Look, I'm not really a pro character artist, and somebody say if I'm wrong, but as a character artist today, you'll pretty much sculpt your models, and usually do it with Zbrush. So, I do find it strange that if you are so passionate about it and have been doing it for a few years, that you still spent a lot of the time just with box modeling. After sculpting, of course you'll have to retopologize it to make the character usable. But it is a lot easier and natural to sculpt the characters, and you'll be able to achieve more details that way, too.

That being said, Blender is inferior to Zbrush, that is the fact, but that doesn't mean it is not a capable program, and I'm sure that you haven't used Blender's sculpting tools to their full potential. Have you looked at some scuplting tutorials for Blender? YanSculpts is a good starting point, check him out if you haven't yet:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfjswDVU0XHyBN7UFG0Mi5Q

Also, there is CGcookie (paid), which has both character sculpting and box modeling tuts. I'd expect you to know about them, though. The answers you provided were pretty much what I expected, you just said you tried everything. I can't know how true that is, and really how hard you tried, but I have a feeling you really didn't and just think you did.

I mean, I don't know what to say really, and just want to understand and help if possible. Just following and finishing the tutorials should result in some good models, you can't go so wrong if you follow exactly what is shown and use some logic to fill the gaps, unless you completely lack any talent, but I don't think you do. It's funny to me that you keep saying how that guy didn't explain the process from A to B good enough, since it really IS that simple, just duplicate the hair pieces, scale and move them a bit and that's it. You also did it quite well. I'd really like to see something else you made to have a better understanding of your situation.

>> No.600695

>>600687
I assume you somehow got offended because I said I don't see the point of box modeling in 2018. There's a nicer way to express your opinions than this. If you like doing it that way and that is your main way of creating characters, I don't judge at all, it IS a fine way of doing it. But afaik, the fact is that in the industry, most people sculpt and retopo their characters. If I'm wrong - do correct me.

>>600692
See, that is to be expected if you ignore the tutorials and just want to figure everything out on your own. But I'm sure all of them started by learning good practices, so it's true, they really don't have a failed morphed sphere as their first model. That's why I'm always really against trying everything on your own. You'll just learn bad habits. There's plenty of free tutorials - use them.

(i was agreeing and disagreeing with a few things in your post, but the comment became too long. Since it didn't really matter, i decided to remove most of it)

> since it really IS that simple
i figured you would eventually say that, it shows you have the same problem as most other people do who try to teach such things to someone who doesn't have the necessary knowledge/experience or talent to fill the gaps that you think don't exist.
I have noticed it even when i was a complete amateur young kid, but of course back then i thought "It's just because i am not good enough yet, not because they suck at teaching" until i got the level myself and realized how much they neglected in those explanations.

I will look up the tutorial you linked
As for CGcookie, i have heard of them, but i have pretty much ignored anything that requires payment, because i am indeed poor. Every month i am losing money i have saved despite my two jobs i have, thus i can't waste a single cent.

>You also did it quite well
thanks

I can't show you that much though i have done
As i said, i have spend most of the time i have worked on 3d on that one particular model i showed before. The only other one i have is an anime-ish model, kept simple on purpose. I guess i could show you this just for you to see something else i have done. See pic related.

I DO have also spend a lot of time on backgrounds though, buildings, objects etc., and even though they could be better, they are not the ones i feel talentless about. Though everytime i finish a piece i feel like it was more luck than actual ability that made it look good, as everytime i try to do a particular piece again i fail haha(like the background in the previous image i posted, i have done all those things you see in that image much better in previous renders, but trying to do it again for this particular image just didn't work).

>i figured you would eventually say that, it shows you have the same problem as most other people do who...
I expected you'd say this when I say that as well haha. No, I'm aware that is the problem with some tutors, I really do, but for this particular case, I think there really isn't anything complex about it, and since you did that part well and it looks very similar to the original, I know you figured it out just fine. Tell me then - what exactly was the problem with that hair? You get the right side literally by just repeating the pieces and slightly scaling them in z-axis. The left side is similar, you just need to move them and curve with proportional editing behind the ears. Okay, only those short strands are a bit different since they have pointy ends, I agree. But again, a little bit of scaling that part with proportional editing should be enough. Now, if you struggled with positioning and scaling, that's just the problem of you not being familiar with the program, then.

Okay, so you spent your time doing a couple of those characters. I now have to ask you why didn't you do studies of different parts, like noses, eyes, ears, hands etc? Did you go through some anatomy book (for artists)? YanSculpts has recently been uploading studies for different parts of the face, so maybe that would be a good thing to try out and see how the sculpting will work for you again. Just investing so much time into a particular model, and even worse, starting with a full body + clothes isn't a very good idea, especially if you are still a beginner. My first character work was just a bust, and even that is probably a lot for a beginner. You start from small pieces until you master them, then you try something more complicated.

> and since you did that part well and it looks very similar to the original, I know you figured it out just fine
you may have forgotten, but i said prior that i combined two tutorials into one to make it finally work, my piece had a LOT of improvisation in it to make it look decent.
When i just did it the way the original tutorial implied, i had countless bald spots, the way the meshes intersected looked horribly with textures on it, adding smaller strands had to be done from scratch with a different procedure to get it somewhat looking like he did
it was horrible

>I now have to ask you why didn't you do studies of different parts, like noses, eyes, ears, hands etc?
what makes you think i didn't?

>Did you go through some anatomy book (for artists)?
not particular books, but countless references, countless individual images that show how muscles, bones, skin etc. work, countless tutorials etc.

>starting with a full body + clothes isn't a very good idea
nono, the clothes were done in just a few days(i mentioned that, but due to the length of the discussion you probably forgot)
and i did start with a head first and then naked body

>My first character work was just a bust
this is like my 20th character
i could show you works that are older, but that would be pointless.(of course i don't have all 20, but some of them should still be somewhere on my harddrive)

above is what I ended up with after opening 3ds max for the first time
I signed up for a project to loosely sketch out a specific structure and decided to make it 3d instead of a 2d sketch
man that went horrible. the only thing i have modeled myself is the roundel piece, everything else i downloaded from free stocks.
bottom ones are my first sclupts after learning basic zbrush tools and ui. i have few years of amateur illustration experience so it was kinda easy for me. i advanced a lot in traditional modeling, but never touched sculpting again.

But yeah lol, the previous guy was right, that is a single piece of metal, how do you think she will be able to move her legs? I'd also say I think the torso is too small compared to the bottom part of the body, the shoulders are too narrow and maybe her chest is a bit low? Not sure about that. Otherwise, nice and keep it up.
