Thank you anon, I still feel like the frequencies are a bit too high though, so I might add another level of bigger triangles and tone down the noise.

topology is good, you can improve it by having the same number of edgeloops on top and bottom of lips and eyes.

This is supposed to be stylized, closer to 2D. This is my first model ever

>>716063
I feel the same about the shape of the head but I can't seem to figure out what it is, I followed the basic measurements of drawing like the eyes should be in the middle of the skull and the the eyes should be one eye length apart from each other.

>but I'd appreciate some pointers
your topology is a mess
follow your own advice go for a realistic character.
your model needs the basic things a realistic human model needs collarbone ass shoulder (with a stylized character they are still there just smoother and less pronounced)
anime faces in 3D are a special case find some models you like on divianart dl them an look how they solved it (most of the time a character sheet does not translate to 3D) it's a tricky thing and many models look shit in profile view or three quarter view.
With some flat shaded animu you can get away with having the head a separate mesh from the rest of the body. For a proper connected mesh you start with the eyes mouth face head neck collarbone area torso shoulders arms etc.
There are many ways how that topology can look find some you like copy it.
>>717618
then remove the fur altogether it makes the whole model look worse than it is.

My definition of a pro is someone who does the beginners work very quickly and efficiently, at least in this field.
Saying that, you can make stuff with what you know at that level. You will lost if there isn't any framework or limitations like in a game development or a character for any specific art style.

>I've finished countless buildings, basic characters, cars, but when I moved on to a proper realistic human face I've got burned out after a month of hard work
You probably have found your groove/habits for creating stuff and that will always work against you if you do something outside of that groove. A realistic human is really a very complex order to pull off.
You can spend a day or an year on a project and call it done but you'll never feel really done because nothing is actually ever completed in this field, there is always some room for improvement and that is up to you when to call it done. Make the realistic human face to completion, review it, didn't like it, make another. You will have to let go off of the perfectionist attitude.

>I did learn a lot, but now I have this unconscious fear that every project from now on will be a pain.
There is always something to learn. The pain is up to you, the more you think about it the more it painful becomes.

Honestly it's nothing spectacular, and there's a few things I have wrong with it. The buildings are all the same since it's all I had on hand, and the light show is a bit too choppy (they're supposed to be choppy to make it look like lights, but I had dropped the framerate to make everything slower, but the lights didn't like it. It'll have to do for a little holiday-type thing though. I really ought to start preparing a few days before instead of the the day of.

It doesn't have to be 100% human (I lack the skills to make that anyways - for a female at least), but if enough people brought up ''Her skull is weird fix that'' I might want to put some effort into that.

I do prefer how the head looks now. Keep in mind slightly inhuman features can be effectively well made, but I'm a big adept of the ''know the rules before breaking them''. I'm fairly comfortable in shading and lighting, so I can go crazy and beyond physical accuracy for that, but I definitely need to improve anatomy-wise. I'm glad you appreciate the model and the 'slightly inhuman features', but know that they don't necessarily come from skillful stylization.

Making some desert ruins, though it's pretty early stages right now. The pillars there were just placeholders to get the sand looking right. Plan on having them be arches, and sculpt them to look pretty chunked up and beaten. What's there is just the main bit, but I have plans to have the structure continue on into the horizon.

All that being said, I have no earthly clue how volumes are supposed to work with Eevee. I have to have infinitesimally small density values to be able to see anything in the scene. It's like that almost any time I use volumes. Don't know if it's because my scale is off or what.

Unless you're being condescending. In which case, I make what I make, if that makes sense. I use colors and motifs that I like to convey the mood and feel that I want. I've been making this sort of thing for a good while before the whole synthwave/80s meme picked up. I never really labelled my stuff under that banner though since that was never the goal. Though a lot of my work had that Outrun vibe before I really knew what it was.

Ah well my bad then. You never know here.
Yeah, the top part will have part of a city up there with a bunch of neon signs and stuff. You won't be able to see much because of the angle, but it should be enough to get an idea and add to that comfy feel.
The specs are just from an hdri of a cityscape. Figured it added more interest and color to the scene than just having the lighting be exactly what's there. Art before realism and all that.

But yeah, I really dig yours. It's been nice seeing it come together. How were you doing the nebulas? Just volumetrics with procedural noise? I also always dug that fractally dithering pattern you have going on with it. Was that done procedurally or with a regular texture?

Thanks. The nebulas around her body were a geometry I intersected with the body, then I brought that into Zbrush, sculpted the shape I wanted it to have around the body and boolean'd the character out. Then I converted it to a vdb and displaced it with a mixture of noises.

As for the pattern, it's a bunch of grid nodes rotated by 60 degrees to eachother. There are three levels to the triangles, so 9 grids, whose width are controlled by a number of ramps. I then project the resulting pattern as an alpha map for a ''shell'' geometry. Pic related, please forgive my exceptionally bad naming convention for the nodes.

Almost like we're posting in the "work in progress" thread. It's a step out of the blockout phase with a motorcycle put in to get a feel for composition. I won't claim that I made the motorcycle. It's just something I had on hand from an earlier project.
>What kind of liquid is that?
Some kind of future-tech treated runoff that turns pink due to the algae in it that eats waste. Nobody's expected to know that looking at the image, but that's my reasoning behind it. Not to mention having clear water would look dull, and having greenish sewage would just look ugly.
But if that doesn't work for you, it's Pink Lemonade Kool-Aid.
>I couldn't make an uglier static liquid even if I tried.
The liquid is a placeholder. There will be a proper fluid sim running through. That's just not the priority right now.

You're not trying though are you? You're just here to shitpost not actually to make anything.

We're of different minds then. I don't have to be out of ideas to accept input from outside sources. Art isn't created in a vacuum (>inb4 "you call that art?"). Having outside perspectives early on in a work can help shape it in ways that you didn't see (like you said), at a stage that it's not prohibitive to actually implement. That and fixing mistakes and pitfalls before they happen (others might have had the same problems you may end up having in a project). Otherwise you get the "I'll fix that sort of thing the next time I do something like this" that you see often in these threads when people don't feel like taking the time to apply criticism.

>really? you think we're that dumb?
I'd like to say that you might be, but I'd rather not get into an argument about it.
You can see the post before it's just basic modelling work and nothing more. It'd be pretty safe to assume it's a project at a pretty early stage before anything major, someone would have to be pretty stupid to post that like it's a finished piece. I like to make a full composition before I do anything instead of starting on small assets and getting bogged down. You do the same thing when drawing. Get the gesture for the composition, refine the linework, then focusing on the shadows and detail.

All of your initial points were valid, I'm just saying it's not at that stage yet. I'm in between that gesture and refinement stage. It has a long way to go. I'm just posting for early input, and some people here just like to watch the process of seeing projects come together. It's not like many people have actually been using /wip/ anyway anymore.

Except you can adjust the final composition in seconds while working in a 3D environment. 90% of work consists of making actual models instead of slapping shit on top of each other for 10 minutes, then posting it on a mongolian basket weaving board and arguing for 2 hours more.

Did some more work on it. Added some pipelines going through the wall, little bases for the rails, started sculpting the top of the wall (there's some repetition in there that needs to be fixed), and started a basic blockout of the city on the top with some signs added as particles to get a feel for how things should look.
There should be a good bit more sign variety added later on as I make them, and they'll be hand placed so they're not floating around and clipping. Planning on having a bunch of wires and other hangy bits crossing the streets too.

When I post, it's usually the render before I call it a day. Due to hand trouble, I can't work for very long without pain. So while I'd like to keep working on things, sometimes I just can't because my hands hurt (and yes, I do take breaks). I wish it wasn't the case, but that's the way things are.

>unless you're planning to draw the signs yourself from scratch for some reason.
Yeah I'm doing them from scratch, so I'm not running into any issues with copyright. I work full time as a graphic designer, so whipping up signs in illustrator doesn't take too long. Most of what's there already is from other projects.

Filled out the buildings and added spaghetti wires all over the place. The facades need some heavy work to make them fit the scene better (textures are pretty meh, and the buildings are pretty bright), but for now they'll do.
There's some new sign designs in there as well if you can spot them. For now they're still just particles. I've got them all fixed up in another project so they have an actual "body" to them so they're not just floating textures. Once I finalize the buildings I'll get to placing signs manually.

Really don't know what to do with the wall in the foreground though. I had wanted to do some metal paneling squares at different heights, but now I'm not so sure that will look all that good. Any help or ideas would be welcome.

Here's all the signs so far.
Working on adding like 4-6 more. That should be enough variety, plus they'd be usable for other projects too.

The buildings really looked like shit. So I went back in and remade them from scratch. They're definitely looking much better, and there's a good sense of scale and verticality coming in.

Been a bit busy with other things, so apart from the buildings, not much has changed in the main scene.
Still don't know what to do with the wall in the foreground though. I think a plain concrete wall would be pretty boring.

Finally added the rider. Pose is really preliminary, mainly just a quick manhandling of the bones into a rough pose.
Actually didn't have to use MD either. I used Adobe Fuse for the dude, but it also came with some clothes. Even had procedural texturing and stuff built in with substance materials. Definitely gets the job done for something that's not super close to the camera. The jacket's weighting could use a little work though.

But yeah, it's all coming together now. Just gotta finish the wall/pipes, put the dude in the final pose, add the final signs, then finish it all up with a fluid sim. Maybe do some more in depth lighting too.

Thank you. Very insightful. I'll make sure it pours into the sizzurp river.
But yeah, it's actually some algae treated water that breaks down hazardous materials and stuff, that just happens to be pink (because art). Like I said in a previous post though, I really don't expect people to know that. It's just how I'm rationalizing it.

[Anonymous No.723086]

Maybe you could have some visual cue that it's algae, like a sign that says "algae is toxic-do not eat" or something.

Well it's not really an important detail. Just an excuse to have pink water for the people that have a problem with it being pink (and glowing).
Then again, some signs could add some more detail. Why not.

Spent all day simming water and mist. Never really did it before, so it was a learning process and a lot of trial end error. Mainly with the water.
I wanted it to fall a certain way, and at a certain thickness, but it only really worked at low resolution values. Higher ones made it super thin, but also catapulted it out like it was a water slide.
I'm happy enough with it for now though.

[Anonymous No.723116]

>>723111
Is the end result planned to be an animation or still? If it's the latter, don't bother too much with mist as you can paint stuff like this in PS in 20 seconds. That being said the water particles need some motion blur to make them more realistic.
Also i am kind of triggered by how clean the wall is. Needs some dirt, graffiti, mold, whatever...

Both. Gonna have a still, but also a looping animation. The water loops alright and so does the mist.
The water needs motion blur as well, I agree. Eevee doesn't actually support it, so I'm gonna have to do it via compositing. That'll be later on.
And yeah. I havent done anything to the wall yet.
Still don't actually know what I want to do with it. I don't want it to be just a plain concrete wall. After I figure that out, I'll bring it into substance and really give it the full treatment.

Coming along pretty good. I feel like a lot of the panels could use some volume though. I get that you're probably making with nurbs (iirc), but the whole thing looks like it's made out of card stock, or a soda can. Though that might all come later.
Also, are the panels of the car really like that? Seems like the front quarter panel isn't, it's just a seamless bumper/panel. Seems like it'd be hard to manufacture like that.

Never underestimate what people will try to eat when desperate. If this is a cyberpunk dystopia with homeless and impoverished people everywhere, there might be a lot of them trying to eat the algae because thinking it might be edible.

[Anonymous No.723203]

>>723195
You're definitely not wrong. I just don't want it to seem like the algae is particularly harmful (again, not like it matters too too much). I just think it kinda defeats the purpose of them consuming hazardous materials if they're hazardous themselves. Especially if it's out in the open like that and spewing mist everywhere. Which the rider is straight up breathing in since he's so close.

I was maybe thinking something along the lines of a "no dumping sign" that talks about the algae, or do something like the algae itself is a product by a corporation by saying "___ algae, provided by 'company'". Something along those lines, ya know?

Fix your lighting in every aspect. You want the flag to be the brightest thing on there since it's the focus, not the meteors.

What's up with your sky? Why can i see a lot of stars even though the sky is blue. Decide if you want it to be sunset or night time. Figure out where the shadows are being cast, from the sun or that lamp on the pole.

thanks for the input anon. I'll definitely make the sky and meteor light a lot less intense which should bring the banner into the focus. As for the color of the burning fabric, after tinkering around with it and changing the emissive colors from white -> red to yellow -> brown I have to say I'm not really happy with how it looks, I suppose the white glow I saw on reference photos was coming more from the flames themselves. Maybe I need to do a proper fire simulation instead.

Doubt you're still looking at the thread, but....

First I sculpted the rough shape to get it integrated with the pillars, then I brought the height map into Gaea and threw a ton of erosion and other sandy sediment on top of it.
Exported the heightmap, brought it back in to blender, set it as a displace modifier. Then threw the same texture onto the material as a bump map to get some extra detail.
After all that, just throw on a sand texture.
