How 2 improv?

[IndividualGames No.698006]

ITT: Help/Suggestion/Comment

I've learned blender for the past 2 month from online sources. So no art degree or anything.

This was a speed challenge for me. To see how fast I can finish an entire mesh ready to put into a game or a wallpaper.

Modelling took 4 hours. But then Texturing took 4 weeks(GIMP).

What am I doing wrong? How can I get speedier/better?

Suggestions/Comments about the model is also welcome.

Jesus christ.
There is a reason why you use blender for this and all 2D painting software is shit.
I rather made this in 1 minute in blender and project onto a texture then torture myself with this shit. Its literally 1 array modifier and 1 Boolean modifier to get the same thing without the cringy self torture.

And its photoshop every time when someone tortures himself with retardation its photoshop. Why does photoshop lack basic features?
No for real 1 array and 1 boolean will get you the same pattern in blender only faster and better and more precise.

I doubt you could model the greebles and Boolean or have floating geo and project with a cage in the same time as you could do it in painter. Painter is non destructive too so you could literally place them anywhere you want without having to skew correct like you have to do on a normal map.

Literally wasting multiple minutes on something you can model in blender in 1/12 of the time and actualy model.

What is the cringe lord doing there?
using some texture projection trick to fake engravings?
Or is he so retarded that he is literally using drawing to create indentations in the mesh?

Because if he is modifying the mesh in this way he is the joke of the century.
You can literally do it faster and better in blender.
And if your ""pro-tools"" don't have this capacity we now know how shit they are do we?

This is not how you model anything mechanical and blender is the king of mechanical modeling.

>>698338
>a new normal map
How can you people live like this? No you modify the actual mesh to get the holes and engravings he is making.

>So someone tell you move the hole as the design has changed.
Yes, they can be moved or removed at will.

From what I have seen of this """"pro"""" demonstration yes it can super fast. This is not how you model or manipulate anything mechanical!

I was thinking about making a payed tutorial in blender showing mechanical modeling. Because nothing out there shows this capacity.

Yep like promised I made OPs model in blender 2.8
Entire process took 2 hours in total. Texturing took next to nothing. Also E.E.V.E.E Shits the bed if used to render this so I used cycles.
Also I took some liberties since the reference and OPs render are boxy and its uncertain if some of the guns details are supposed to be like this or if OP was going for this look. Also I'm not a fan of this models look its to boxy.

Entire thing was only made in blender 2.8. Gimp can go and suck a dick.

Wow this thread sure got out of hand. I like it.

I'll try to address stuff real quick(that means it'll take forever).

The aim was to make hand painted textures as I've seen in many old video games that aim to reduce the the graphics loads and just substitute for "look alikes".
Google "empire at war atst", "empire at war star destroyer".

So all the details had to be painted in by hand. The result is as you see before you. It's not great.

>>698304
I think it's because I was fixated on hand painting everything rather than slapping "metal.jpg", "plastic.jpg" on and modifying those. Well, I gained experience at least.
Seams was a big problem, I really need to learn how to seam properly so stuff won't get cut off.
<b>Is there a good training somewhere available on how to do seams right?</b>

Two stuff came up in this thread.

1. Why not Blender Paint?
I know I can paint in Blender and would if I could. I have severe hardware limitations right now so I can't even put a stroke on the model without the laptop choking to death. Sad luck.

2. Git Substance.
Substance is great. I have no problems with it. But it's a bit heavy for me at the moment. Also my trusty travel laptop won't run that. So it'll have to be in the near future.

The question is that why did this take so long or How I learned to love the textures.
1. Don't get fixated on tiny details that won't matter at the end. I kinda have OCD.
2. Don't hand paint stuff, select textures, slap em, modify to fit, materialize, good 2 go.

>>698969

Hello friend I have questions about your modeling.
Was the pure modeling hard for you?
Is this some star wars gun?
Was the game you go it from really this boxy?
For example the scope holding elements look circular on your reference you modeled them as blocks while I modeled them as circular (the reference looked to suggest this) See:

Was this a problem area for you?

>That's master quality job, mate.
Thank you.
>help me get better.
I love to help however without seeing how exactly you modeled it there is a real disconnect. I was thinking about making a video tutorial series about modeling in blender.

Trust me 100% of the modeling tutorials in blender teach you bad techniques that will make you waste time and struggle with modeling.
All I know is from me having a enlightenment moment from stuff I did see in Counter Strike level editing by some guy.

>I am not ashamed.
Good don't let shame intimidate you! Have no shame!

>I have severe hardware limitations right now so I can't even put a stroke on the model without the laptop choking to death. Sad luck.
This is a problem. You need some powerful hardware for modeling you must have something equal or more powerful to a 4gen intel i7 PC processor (no the laptop intel processors are not even the same as PC processors regardless what stickers say on the box).
This is the sad truth of 3D modeling.

> Also my trusty travel laptop won't run that
>laptop
>laptop
laptops are garbage that stagnated for years. Get a PC and stick some nvidia card in it. Getting a work laptop is only recommended if you seriously have no other choice(professional who must travel the world every day and must model in the train ride) because you will be burning money and paying x10 more then for the same power on a PC.

PS: It was fun to model your model was a nice challenge for me.
PS2: the model looks strange for example why is the forward lens angled?

It's a misconception that old games painted everything by hand. They all used photo overlays for things like metal. You just place seams in areas that wont be seen like the bottom of the barrels, inside the triggers etc. Take a look at textures from soldier of fortune or the old counter strike for reference. Use scratch brushes on the corners and ad dirt where the gun would be in contact with the ground. Muzzle burn just tell a story with each asset.

Okay here's a live example. Help out with this if you can.

Why does my seams result
in such abnormal uvs?
Did I play with some setting or something?

What is the science behind the seams exactly?
I know it's like a cardboard etc. That's not
what I'm asking, I did the blenderguru tutorials.

Because in tutorials and such the guy just
puts a seam of a very complicated head
and voila! it's UV'ed perfectly.
Even this simple pyramid like shape is having
problems with UV.
Either I'm missing some crucial info or just dumb.

Either I do very specific UVs as I did with the gun and every crucial part gets seamed, which is terrible.
Or I don't do much seams and blender unwraps it into a soup.

Even with simple mesh this is the situation and tutorials somehow achieve very easy and cool UVs with even less. Seriously something is awry.

Welcome to the cancerous universe of tutorials.
The guys test it before recording it so they know exactly where to place and their videos are click bait for views and recognition on youtube.

Is it either them hording their knowledge, knowing the ultra obscure and ass backwards way of doing it (you look at a modeling human head in blender tutorial, you just look at it in blender fucken memorized numbers) and are hiding it by presenting a
>Yo so easy blender cool!
style.

Or they simply got it by trial and error (for this exact model) and memorized the exact things they need to do.

For me, UVs are cancer and something you should never interact with get into Ptex its literally like painting on a figure in real life and this is the selling point for me.
Oh and apparently Ptex is more efficient with texture data then you torturing yourself for days by trying to make a perfect cut of the UV. Literally best of all possible worlds and to all
>Muh UVs industry standards muh
cool your tits you can simply export a Ptex into a UV auto generated map.

Who in his right mind think that spending any time with making seam is a good idea?

OP isn't having a problem with UVs he just doesn't understand how the fuck to do them. It's not fucking hard. His model is just boxes. Pic related took no time at all.

>Seriously why are you opposed to Ptex?
I'm not, I'm just seriously annoyed at you going into every thread, replying to some shit that's got fuck all to do with texturing and going
"You wouldn't have that problem with Ptex". You sound like a huge fucking faggot sucking hard on that Ptex cock. It's probably perfectly capable, but you've successfully kept me away from that shit.
You're not helping. You're just flinging your autism all over the board for an implementation that's hardly used across the board.

>OP isn't having a problem with UVs he just doesn't understand how the fuck to do them
This statement is self contradictory.
OP is having problems with UVs and the problem is him not knowing how to unwrap them.

>got fuck all to do with texturing
Yes genius explain how "not being able to texture because I don't know how to UV unwrap" is not related to texturing.

A little something for you:
1) Actually post the exact philosophy you use to UV unwrap for op instead of doing the usual trick of
>This is how you do it for this exact shape.
Ever heard of giving a fish VS teaching how to fish?

2) Why the fuck would anyone torture themselves and waist their time doing this unwrapping gymnastics? What benefit is there to doing this shit? its literally a wast of time for nothing if contrasted to Ptex.

3)
>"You wouldn't have that problem with Ptex" You sound like a huge fucking faggot sucking hard on that Ptex cock
Good! Now you know how every blender user feels when you shit on blender, how does it feel knowing that your overpriced software lacks basic features?

4)
> but you've successfully kept me away from that shit.
Good! Mission accomplished! Now how do I make every single one of you switch to MS-DOS only for your workflow and 3D model only by typing the exact position of every vertex you want to create into a command prompt?

Good luck finding a job expecting to use Ptex. UVs are useful not only for texturing, but also for attribute transfer regardless of the topology constrained within UV islands. For example, it can be used to attach a groom and allow changes to the character skin without having to regroom.

First off great work for being 2 months into Learning blender, there is always room for improvement when moddeling and you will always learn new ways to do things better.

I have attached an image trying to note the most common mistakes that you need to practice with. What should be textured vs what should be modeled seems like the biggest thing you need to learn in order to get better looking models.

Hope this helps you in someway or a another.

Disney only uses Ptex so get fucked you LARPer!

Also your argument is basically

>For example, it can be used to attach a groom and allow changes to the character skin without having to regroom.
give exact example that will not make you look like a total retard or that is better made with Ptex or Ptex layers.

I'm not OP.
I appreciate you taking the time to point out mistakes however some of them are so .... the picture is so grainy that I can not see some of the supposed details especially the "missing groove" you pointed out in red so I don't blame OP for not modeling it.

Not the anon you've been talking to but environment assets utilizing trim sheets pops instantly into mind as something you can only achieve thru UV.
Strategies using shared texture space for rapid development of things like belts, zippers, cloth seems etc are unavailable if you use PTEX.

Also anything realtime pretty much necessitate UV's as well, there might be a day when that is not the case but it is still somewhat distant.

It's unwise to go around sticking meme labels to people when you know so little so well, will make you come across like a immature douche.

Did you even watch any videos demonstrating Ptex?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFwoeOLECe4
Watch the whole video or especially at the end.
Yes its possible you turn your flat graphics into stamps and stamp them on the model.

Try actually knowing or even watching this demonstration video before you try to dismiss Ptex.

>Also anything realtime pretty much necessitate UV's as well, there might be a day when that is not the case but it is still somewhat distant.
What is "baking the model as a UV wrapped model for the game" the post.
Also did you miss professionals telling you that Ptex is always more efficient then whatever you do for hours in UVs?

I mean seriously like 30% of the UV space is wasted regardless how long and autisticaly you try to lay it out. This is why Ptex is also more efficient.

To many layers and need it in a game? Bake it down to a auto generated UV wrapped model the same way you export to PNG from your Photoshop project with 100 layers and it turns out the auto generated UV wrapping from Ptex is more efficient then whatever you try to do.

You unwrapping UVs is a waist of everyone's time and the computers efficiency.

It's quite obvious you don't understand this subject on a personal level and is echoing points raised inside a video as if you did.

That you can stamp stuff in Ptex is vastly different from the way a trimsheet works.
Pointing this out isn't throwing shade at your beloved Ptex (Ptex is great tech for what it is), it is pointing out that there are things it cannot do.
>30% of the UV space is wasted regardless how long and autisticaly you try to lay it out.

That is true. But it's not the entire picture of the situation.

There is advantages in having the texturespace laid out in 2D as this enables a human to edit it using 2D tools
as well as 3D ones which is very nice. Because as good as 3D painters are they're just nowhere near the level of photoshop.


>Ptex is more efficient then whatever you try to do.

Making absolute statements like that makes your inexperience with this subject show.
It's simply incorrect.

>You unwrapping UVs is a waist of everyone's time and the computers efficiency.

The only 'waist of time' I know of is the slender part of the hourglass.

So what now?

> Because as good as 3D painters are they're just nowhere near the level of photoshop.
You started talking about belts and zippers so OK for what? A video game from 1999?

I say stamping it on is better since anything that 1999 FPS graphics requires you warp your flat mash to show curvature. I say Ptex layers are better at doing this.

For anything giving me power I simply model the entire zipper and belt in 3D since they are 3D objects in the first place.

I still say stamping it is faster then needing to UV unwrap and play around with the UN-wanted distortions and seams UV unwrapping creates.

>level of photoshop.
The video literally shows how you can plug photoshop into mudbox and edit the 2D parts of Ptex in photoshop.

While I appreciate your cool head I think you need to reconsider your position. No one has ever shown how UVs are better at anything.

UVs are not something you should be interacting with.
Ptex is more efficient (bake as whatever the game engine wants = no wasted space to human unwraping) in all scenarios.
Human friendly (unwraping feels wrong and is wrong)
More intuitive.
Faster texturing
No seams or other UV artifacts.

I yet have to see any argument for UVs. The celebration of UVs is strange to me.

Ok, many of us can. Why do you feel it is necessary to broadcast that when you are of no relevance at all. The funny thing is, you get butthurt when people call you out as a retard. A bit of self-awareness would benefit you anon.

Thanks for the help. I get what you mean, I tried what you said in your image but went too obsessed with painting everything instead of modelling. I looked up some other models from games and realized that I shouldn't be hellbent on painting details. I actually prefer modelling details to painting. Modelling is fun while texture painting isn't.
I think I'll just go for a mild version of classical texturing for now and spring to substance in the future.

That badly rounded rubbed pad at the end was a problem. I fucked up the shape and struggled with it, then tried to fix it while retopoing, which ended up like that. I also tried to be hasty as to see how quick I can come up with it. So I left it like that. Considering this is my second model I finished modelling, it stands okay. I'm also piecing together texturing too, so it's still a long ways to go.

I was playing Empire at War and that got me the wrong footing because in that the models were barely modeled and almost all details are painted. I guess they were trying to be cost efficient being an RTS game with lots of models running around.

Your image was fine work in pointing out the bad parts though, appreciated it.

Funny Story: That barely visible dot on the gun is me saying "Fuck this I'm bored."
