Quick Feedback:

Increase roughness on the metal part. You'll get an even better result if you use a noise texture. Also, add a subtle displacement map in your material. Again, noise should work fine.

As for the handle, scale down your UVs for it to reduce the tile-yness of it. Off to a good, start, though.

Sort of. It's just an attribute transferred from the alien thing to the concrete geo. Then this attribute is used to drive the roughness and diffuse. It's a pretty simple setup in Houdini.

exaggerate hands and feet, not only boobs and ass.
when playing fighting games, exaggerated hands and feet , give player better understanding what is happening. you can see hits more clearly. also you'll mostly animate punches and kicks.

look up how Street fighter charaters are designed. if anyone is going to create fighting games, they 100 % must research what aspects make them succefull

Got the handle UV unwrapped, the noise texture made it look a lot more rugged. Still messing around with materials for the head and end cap, trying to find something that looks like matte paint without looking like plastic. A noise texture on those parts made them look a bit less plastic, but not enough. Might have to find a good image texture.

There are more successful fighting games that don't exaggerate hands and feet thou.
What you wrote makes sense, but it's really just the style that went with that works, because of those things. Personally I never liked Street Fighter's designs.

which fighter is more "sucessful" tho? you mean NRS games? selling more copied does not mean that it is bettrer. nobody plays NRS games more than a year, it has worst animations and blandest graphics. but SF iterations are played for 7-8 years.

I'm not telling him to copy SF tho. but that design choice works, especially in stylised fighters.

Oh hey, it's you! Something looks... wrong, about the facial creases. They all look too sharp/distinct.
Is the creasing coming down from the inner corner of the eye a scar? Because if not, it looks crazy unnatural. So does that chin crease.
Also, the creasing coming down from the nostrils look really weird. One pair shouldn't be there, but I can't seem to figure out which is the erroneous pair.

Not that anon. I don't think there's anything wrong with stylization, but I do think something is uh, "off", with your laugh lines. I am no expert in human faces or anything but a quick google search shows that they don't veer off so much to the sides or are so pronounced towards the end of the cheeks and start of the chin. They're also pretty damn big for laugh lines, even for something stylized it looks a little silly considering he's meant to be (I imagine) human.

The hair has also started to look kinda weird. You're in a sort of in-between step where it's not just a bunch of planes with textured hair, and it's also not the big-clumped Overwatch-style cartoony hair. As a result, to me, it looks like a bunch of soba noodles or parasitic worms forming up the strands.

The rest looks great, masterful use of damien standard or crease brushes, whatever you did decide to use there. The little overcoat medal also looks fantastic.

One of the things that suck most about learning how to do an advance rig is you can't show it off till the character is +95% completed.

But damn is it going to be worth it for that sweet sweet arm and leg twist and dynamic hair and shoelace.

Thank you, that's the feeling I'm looking for so it's great to see someone else mention it.

I'm trying to create an environment that feels as real as possible. I want to learn about the techniques that Studio Ghibli uses to make you feel like the environment could be real. Better explained in this great video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6Q6y4-qKac

I'm also not planning anything out, I try to just create whatever comes to mind when looking at what I already have.

Moving into full character modeling now after having done a couple of busts.

This is still dynamesh obviously. Will up the resoltuion now and go into more detail (a bit) before I settle for the retopo. Or how should I best get that done?

No, you are pretty fucking good you'd have every right to boast if you wanted.

This was supposed to be just a hip study but when the creative juices started flowing I just ran with it.

Spent my work time yesterday learning about cloth and all that, happy enough with the sash but Im going to go back and redo the loins since those were my first attempts. Its funny though you can easily tell which side I started with.

Thanks ) I don't like boasting tho )
as IMM brushes go, I'm creating brushes from every belt, button, small skull, strap, bolts, spikes etc.. literally verything I can reuse, oh and I'm creating UVs for them as well. (IMM brushes can store UVs BTW). this is especially good for things like buttons or bolts, even for straps and belts,. you'll have UVS on things which repeat many times. and they'll be unwrapped on same place.

I'll repeat this: Learn zModeler!!! and deformers.

>>620388
looks awesome!! just one thing tho. the vial should not be green all the way, it is glass, and only inside layer should be freen, outer layer must be glass/transoparent and more shiny. .
now it kinda looks like it is not transparent.

try to achieve that and it'll look waay wayy awesome.

Anonymous Fri May 4 22:21:52 2018 No.620586

>>620575
That is because of perspective. The grate isn't a plane with a masked out material; it has parallax so it looks that it is thick rather than just a textured plane; at a distance, and because of the angle, the grid thickess occludes its own gap size, so there is no room for the gaps to show, and it looks wierd. No way to fix it without turning the floor to be completely solid removing the grate.

>>620579
>Something still looks cartoony about it though.
I can point it out: the workflow I'm following.

You see, in a "traditional" scene, every asset has its own texture, with its own details, its own normal map from its highpoly mesh... Even if you used the same substances when painting the assets in SPainter, you would still end with unique variation.

Here, all materials are tileable and are repeating themselves several times, also I've overdone the custom normals (Can't fix it because changing bevels once they are already done is a pain in the ass) and the bevel size so everything looks extra smooth, lesson learnt.

In fact, if you take a close look at Star Citizen and Alien Isoliation, they don't look fully 100% realistic, but kind of stylized.

That's, uh, really not it. Sure, A:I and SC have their artistic styles, but they definitely don't look like what you're doing. There's just something about how the big yellow pillars look that make them feel like, I guess the best way to put it would be like from a child's playset? I dunno, they just don't look industrial. Everything else looks mostly fine though.

Working on a 1911 right now. Progress so far. Doing everything as low poly as I can. In the end I will have two models, a low poly and a High poly made from a combination of Subdivide and Bevel modifiers which I intend to use for baking normals from. Screenshot is with the modifiers on. So far just have the top portion done. Gonna be doing the grip and trigger next.

This is my second project outside of a tutorial, the first one was the grenade earlier in the thread. I used a Hellfire as reference, but it's not an exact copy. I think I want to screw around with glass and emission shaders next to make an array of robot eyes, then after that I'll make an autocannon and incorporate all of this stuff into a walker tank or some other type of combat robot/mech. I'll probably finalize the texture then so that the missiles match the paint of the bot. Not sure if I want to finish adding those creases where different parts of the hull are bolted together, might not be noticeable and the mesh is getting hard to work with near the fins.W

You should get a better HDRi/environment map if not turn up the depth of field. Trees in what looks like a desert beach is an interesting choice too. Also, you should probably bump up the gamma of the final result. The current image looks dull and drab.

Literally had to google that! Ok that made my references make more sense. I basically already have that on the rear, but it's flat where things should be angled a bit. The front I just extruded. Probably wont go back to change these things though as this is just going to be a game asset.

Its pretty nice, but couple of advice from pro:
You have very nice curves and lot of edgeloops on smaller spirals but on the big clock it is visibly blocky, silhouette smoothness should be equal across all parts. Next time give major silhouettes and shapes more edgeloops and minor details less ones.

You have real fantastic dust inside the clock and on the face but some of it should be on metal parts as well, some nice little dust specs and layers. Really good job otherwise, good work.

More progress on this.

Low-poly for the most part is done, now I am just adding details to the high-poly. Noticed I missed a couple things like the safety. Think I am going to be taking a break from this for today though. Kinda burned myself out.

Some details like the grip and engravings I will just make from separate baked normals and stamp them on in Substance Painter so I don't have to fuck around with the current topology too much. This bitch is roughly 80% done. Decals and the like aside, most of the texturing should be automated thanks to Substance Painter.

the Textools addon has a function called UV Meshing that allows you to deform a mesh (say a checkered grip texture) to your gun model by UV space, might be worth checking out if you want to bake from actual geometry.

Haven't made much progress since my last post. I said I was going to give this a rest, but I hate leaving projects unfinished when I don't have anything else to do. It's a problem. I burn out on stuff relatively fast, but I also hate to leave stuff in an "unfinished" state. Often times with personal projects, I would rather half ass the last quarter of work just so I can say I am done in as few sittings as possible. I am trying real hard to fight this though and make small changes in bursts. Honestly posting like this in a WiP thread is helping me put in more effort near the end. I feel like an asshole otherwise haha.

Hey thanks, these are not my alphas tho, I bought these alphas some time ago. I just graphic designed the sword with it. because I'm lazy :E

as springs go, it's power field generator. (this is power sword)
and actually, power swords(weapons) have very awesome explanation to how they work. when power field is activated, it covers the blade with energy field(basically warps around weapon), which weakens molecular bonds, very fast. so when you are hitting something, power field turns solid objects into very soft materials, and then sword does the cutting.

Modeling is done. Just working on textures and normals right now. I think I finally have an overall look that I like. Still making some tweaks here and there before I apply the final detail normals and decals for shit like serial numbers and emblems / logos. Needs more variety in color I think. Probably gonna darken the bolt and other small bits like the hammer. Also not really liking the metal style I went with, looks too soft. Gonna play with that some more.

Definitely going to put some sort of carving styled normal over the wood bit on the grip, just not sure what I want to put there yet.

Thanks for describing how you're going to do all that. I also made my hair with curves, but I converted them to mesh to edit some more, and retopo'ed manually. I know that even thou I may get some bad bakes at the roots, I can always hide them deeper in the head, but what I am worried about is that the mesh is going to look flat at where hair meets the head. I was even thinking about making an alpha transparency for the roots, but I gave up on the idea.

stylised=/=anatomically flawed..
also "Stylised" is not an excuse ) BTW I have done the same, at some point.

the whole form looks like it is smoothed. with Maya's sculpting tools. model lacks general shapes. she has no bony landmarks whatsoever. . it has no ribcage, no pelvic bones. it has no armpits, it's like she has no bone structure outside of her arms and legs...

just make model first and then add this suit.
I'd higly suggest to put skeleton inside and shape character according to it.

you have box modelling skills, and your hard surface looks very cool, but getting organic shapes is much harder

look at this annons works ) >>620751

This is a suit, I am going to sculpt in wrinkles but not like bones (outside of elbows etc). You're not gonna see the same amount of "skindentation" as a nude body. Regardless, I can work on getting rid of some of the chub and defining more. Asuka / Rei were just references so I'm not gonna make her a stick figure like them, this character is at least an adult.

I mostly do hard surface, so organic is pretty new. I like critique and I'd rather hear about problems than "looks good".

Also this is a bit off topic but I do disagree that organic is "harder" than hard surface. They both have their difficulties. Organic is more forgiving and less precise. In my line of work if your model is off even a little bit then the potential consequences of that are people dying. From my perspective organic is easier (if I had the same amount of practice, of course).

Thanks for advice btw, appreciated.

The squished inwards thing is intentional. If I'm gonna model the hip bones I'll need to change the edge flow at this point I think. As far as proportions I copied several female anatomy sheets and I think everything checks out now. Besides the hip bone and somewhat exaggerated hourglass, is everything else looking ok?

Anonymous Wed May 9 19:44:45 2018 No.621501

>>621494
Arms are in proportions to the torso, you should fit maybe 4 upper arms into one torso if you line them up vertically you are fitting about 2. As for their length remember the wrist lines up with the vag, shrink the deltoids a bit, the pectorial muscles connect underneath the delts so you want to make that connection more. Also it could be a choice but the breats are a bit close to the collar bones but thats not a big issue.

Nobody is asking you to make it realistic but we are telling you it needs more realism because it looks completely off.
I don’t think you do realistic stuff because you would understand the concept that you have to lay down solid proportions and anatomy to still make your work look good. An hour glass is not stylized it’s a lack of true knowledge of the human form and your work shows it. It looks weird in some places, curb your ego and stop trying to defend a work in progress. If you ask for help don’t challenge people on what they tell you, either internalize it or ignore it because you give off the impression that you don’t want anyone’s help when you do that which isn’t true because otherwise you wouldn’t have posted

watch more youtube tutorials on how to do the realistic stuff, once you get good at large to small texture detail blocking you'll know how to work backwards from there. you do obviously need to improve. think of your materials as something you're selling. if you think nobody would buy it for even a dollar, or five dollars, or compare it to materials that are being sold at that price range, you should take note to improve and watch more tutorials. most of all you need patience

t. employed procedural texture artist

i can spot substance designer tells in beginners materials easy like how you used a slope blur greyscale for lazy brick surface deformation. looks like crumpled paper. the marble patterns are cool though. not sure why you have crescent holes in your bricks or why the grout is so noisy for a stylized surface. your brick edges are too sharp and broken too

pretty much anything related to 3d can be a job position depending on the studio and what the team needs. you can also go the freelance/self employed route. best way to make big money is to do both but it's stressful. if you hate 3d and love sleep just get out now

not familiar with this or what it's capable of. i use substance designer. the individual license is cheap and a one time fee with no royalties. if you need patterns but don't know how to generate them for blender's system maybe you can just import the shape texture maps themselves.

Thanks for the feedback. This was indeed a quick texture. Might come back to it later. Made it in a couple of hours just loosely based on another brick tutorial I went through, and I tried using this environment toolkit that some guy at Allegorithmic made (which does have some slope blur nodes) just to make some smooth random gradients on the bricks, while previously it was used to really dig into a shape like the trim dynamic brush in Zbrush.

They're not holes, it's grout on top of the bricks. Yeah, it's exaggerated, but I would make a parameter to reduce it. You're right, though, it would probably make more sense to just put in some light streaks instead of crescent shapes.

the answer is no. yours looks like textures from a B-grade 2004 game.

either get on youtube or cgpeers and watch some tutorials on how to make stuff on substance designer then try to make your own materials.

My advice, been doing this for ages..
3D modelling isn't about skill or any silly concept like that. 3D is about learning shortcuts and tricks. Any dumbass can work for hours upon hours to make something look good, but an experienced user will know all the shortcuts to get the same thing done in a fraction of the time. To do that, you just need to model a lot. Daily even.

Thanks for the words of wisdom, that's an interesting perspective on the craft. I'm trying to learn for game dev, so it's a lot to take in from modeling to texturing to rigging to weight painting to animation. Really fun process and rewarding to see your creations in such a permanent and malleable state--as opposed to traditional art.

and in next sentence you described that 3d is SKILL...

my take is like this: 3d modeling and game art etc, is DESIGN. you need to learn every fucking shortcut, or you'll suck.
and if there are shortcuts and you are not learning them and making your life harder because of it, you are fucking stupid anyway.

I don't consider skill to be learning simple ways to achieve good results, those are things anyone can learn. To me, skill is like talent.. some have it, some don't. If you want to consider memorization of software functions to be skill then sure, I guess. The point I was trying to get across is that literally anyone can be proficient at 3d modelling if they care enough to learn how to approach it.

Animation, on the other hand, takes skill. Not everyone can conceptualize movement in a way that reads realistically. Much more difficult than modeling.

You're probably feeling a bit frustrated, that's because you don't have the experience to translate what's in your head (or preferably in a reference image) to the screen, and you don't have the good practices / technique / workflow to achieve technical excellence / proficiency (in the purely objective criteria of things like poly density, quad usage or careful tri usage, edge flow, texel density, etc) even though you have some inkling of what "right" look likes.

It's fine to play around for a couple hours trying out new features, and it's good to do it after learning new stuff, but by far the best utilization of your time as a beginner is going to be doing tutorials.
Even pros (of any discipline) can get into a mode where they just "sketch" over and over, they just make the stuff they already know how to do and use the techniques and tools they're already familiar with because that's what gets the job done, and they stop seeing what other people are doing (either tutorials or what their peers are doing or what academic papers are being published).
There's nothing really "intuitive" about 3D software, if you already have some fundamentals of 2D learned then some things will come more easily to you but ultimately there's no shortcut or avoiding the tutorials, you just gotta hit the books.

I mean characters in general, or robots, etc.. from what I see mainly people are either using someone's concept or character sheet and follow it directly.
I preffer either design character from ground up, or if I'm making character which exists (which I'm doying now) to gather many artworks of it and make my own version, from general direction. before I started, I though that people were at least doying that sometimes, but from what I see very few do this (I'm talking about personal projects of course).

BTW, I'm not saying that what I do is the only way or anything. when I started it was constantly getting stack, as learning goes, everyone should make others concepts for some time, which I have not done )

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly sure creating the mouthcup (the surface that represents the interior of the mouth when the mouth is open) is done after retopology but before texturing, at least for game/animation use. I believe most character sculpts are made with closed lips, and a lot of the big-name animated movie studios sculpt with eyes closed to avoid eyelid stretching when blinking.

other guy is half right. modo is outclassed. A lot of tutorials will contain transferable skills, though. Basic principles like modelling, texturing, lighting are universal. the only difference between the programs are different tools to accomplish the same end result. Tutorials stop becoming interchangeable when you start getting into more specialized tools that the programs offer. I suggest going with maya, since the experience is more streamlined and it comes shipped with an amazing renderer.

It's fun learning this pixel style because there are very few references to learn from, but the results are so timeless. It's like a lost art.

In MML it appears that all of the limbs are detached so that the textures don't get weirdly stretched during animation. I'm trying to keep everything attached and just plan low details and good topology for joints. I still need to learn more about rigging and animation, though.

3D modeling principles are, yes.

Learn in whatever you fancy. Even with Blender you'll have plenty on your hands for months of study. As you progress, you may find that some things you'd like to do can't be done easily or at all in the program you started learning with, and you'll begin looking for others.

With time, you end up using many different programs, each one for whatever it happens to be the best.

Dang, a >2:1 reduction is a little too intense. You should either consider looking at which loops on the main model you could stand to remove (at least from 38>32) and/or add more loops to the leg. An imbalance like this shouldn't have happened in the first place. If you're going to make step-down topology, try to spread it out a little at a time over the entire upper leg, so you gradually go down to the needed amount by the time you reach the knee

Besides telling you, you fucked up, and should have planned things like that
I think you could decrease the number of edges by going from e.g. 8 to 4 at the adductors. That would give you a nice shape for the upper leg with more realistic muslces.
