Improved billboarding on tree leaves.

There are over 12.5 million vertices in this scene.

>There are over 12.5 million vertices in this scene.
Is this a joke? How is that even possible?

[Anonymous No.800676]

>>800673
It's not a joke, but it is misleading.

The 12.5 million vertices are cubic grid of points every few centimeters for about 30 meters, parented to the camera.

All of the scene geometry snaps to the nearest vertex in that grid.

That was the only way I could come with properly mimicking playstation style integer snapping without getting into python scripting.

[Anonymous No.800693]

>>800671
Pff, I can do do the same with just some weight painting and animated displacements

[Anonymous No.800698]

>>800693
If vertexes arent snapping to the right places, it doesn't look right. It really has to be snapping to a camera-oriented grid or it looks wrong.

Its blender viewport render. The normal render takes 6.5 seconds per frame, but the viewport render take 0.06 seconds despite looking identical.

I was wondering. Didn't seem like it would be a problem because it's cloth so I don't think topology doesn't matter outside being a bunch of squares.
I just proportional edited with the random curve but if you wanted a more regular pattern like you have then you could make that on a flat plane and then modifier it into a ring and solidify it.

[Anonymous No.800773]

>>800733
What would I need the compositor for in this case?

[Anonymous No.800792]

How's my topology? I got this topology by following a zclassroom video on how to automate retopology with polygroups and keeping the groups together when zremeshing. A few minutes after sculpting, I had this. On the other hand it could take me hours doing it by hand. Opinions?

[Anonymous No.800795]

>>800792
It's far from perfect but for a quick result it's pretty good.

[Anonymous No.800796]

>>800792
I'm not good at explaining all the problems with that topology so I'll just advise you to do some learning by doing.
Go to Layers and give the face some expressions.
The best way to understand topology is to just make some blendshapes to quickly realize where you fucked up.

Actually, you can, but you must make 1-2 faces with traditional retopo first, to learn the correct topology.
then you'll guide your topology correctly, place subdivs correctly(I'd place more rings around eyes, and also divide them vertically, mouth as well), + you'll know where software fucked up and touch up these places, remove unneeded loops and add where it neglected it...

same shit with base meshes... if you are able to make good basemesh, then you should go and use them....

I don't get why people who are just starting are obsessed with quick results like they are working for a client or something... if you don't want to learn just go and play with DAZ...

My first non-tutorial model. Figured something stylized, simple, and clay would be good practice, particularly around getting a real clay look with shaders.
I'm really proud of how I got the eye to stick to the model by using a lattice deform and shrinkwrapping the lattice onto the head.

* Create object A that you want to stick to the surface of another object B.
* Create a lattice, make it flat and pump up it's grid resolution (I used 10x10), and put it flush with the back of object A.
* Give object A a lattice deform modifier, targeting the lattice.
* Give the lattice a shrinkwrap constraint, targeting object B.
* Do some minor rotation and movement of the lattice and object A to get everything looking alright. I moved the lattice close to the surface of object B to make everything look right, and I also parented object A to the lattice to make it easier to tweak rotation and movement without them separating.

All I wanted was something like a shrinkwrap, but which would not completely flatten and massacre a 3D object, so I can get the look of a bit of clay stuck onto the surface of another.

I meant shrinkwrap modifier. Shrinkwrap constraint does something different.

Super easy way I found to make good clay

Slight subsurface scattering and then add a thumbprint/smudge normal map, and then keyframe its position in the mapping node so that every frame it has a completely different location. Makes it look like every frame the model was touched by hands. Super easy.

If you add this and then a few other basic additions you basically have this 20$ material for free

Looks pretty good, giving off some familiar eastern European post communism vibes.
The grass looks kinda stiff and the two buildings on the left could use some variation to break up the repeating patterns, maybe have some glass windows missing or broken, add dirt or have wall sections where the paint has been scraped off.
It looks like you're using texture cards for your grass, I'd recommend to just model the individual blades and use some tool to generate instances of it across the scene. So long as they are instances of the same objects and not copies they should be very easy on the memory and not a problem to render. The texture cards approach is starting to get dated, especially for still image renders.
Good job overall.

Making pretty slow progress, but I'm alright with how it's coming along. I think I need to squish the head a little bit because it's too round, and the mouth could use a little shaping.
Getting the mouth to be inset was a pain in the ass, though. I created the mouth shape, then duplicated it and un-subdivided the duplicate, then I increased the thickness of the un-subdivided one so it would extend into the face, and used a boolean modifier that I then applied. The cuts were pretty ugly and needed some manual cleaning, and I'm not completely happy with the shape still.

The boolean modifier was a mistake. It ended up taking me over an hour tonight just to fix that shit and get something approaching what it would look like if I had just manually did it right in the first place. Now I'm blocking out the hair, and just building everything from cubes is way nicer.
I'm slightly regretting using a UV sphere for the head instead of just cubing it out, too.
The plan is to block out the rest of the hair, then do the same for the body, and then go over the detail work in sculpting, and use shaders to get a nicely claylike look. I'll probably rig it and try to get some animation going too, using the other anon's suggestions.

Nah, it won't be optimized nor will it look good. Even more so if you actually plan on selling it on a marketplace. But your quality has to be 100 times higher in order to even have a chance, it's hard enough to compete even for full professional studios.

It wouldn't be that hard to add grunge on everything if you use SP and just copy a smart material. You could have done these wooden assets with trimsheets as well, so then you only have to change one texture. But it would miss uniqueness, unless you bring it back with more textures. For the highest quality, these would just need to be uniquely textured, yeah.

[Anonymous No.801735]

>>801732
Now I see you asked specifically for architecture elements. In that case they should be done with tileables and trimsheets, unless they are very distant background props. And in that case you wouldn't add grunge and other damages directly to a tileable, but would do it in engine in some way. Either by placing decals and / or by vertex painting to combine multiple materials.

I remember those days. I'd always bite off more than I could chew with animations on a shitty laptop, so what you're doing now was how I'd manage it.
If it's a static scene with one or two things animated, render out the background and static elements (a few times so that the noise/grain isn't static and you can use those as an image sequence), then render out only the animated bit.

But for things that weren't animations, I'd put it on low samples, break it into chunks, then render multiple passes with different noise seeds and then put the chunks together. Then with the extra passes you layer them on top of each other with decreasing opacity, and it gets rid of most of the noise.
Or I just said fuck it and brute forced it and rendered everything as-is.

[Anonymous No.801867]

>>801860
No specifics can help you because the one thing that can help you is so broad.
Telling you to fix the arms or something and spoonfeeding you exactly how to do it won't help you, because you'd lack the fundamentals to actually pull it off.
It's like someone who literally just took the training wheels off their bike starts doing BMX on a half-pipe, then when they fall on their ass they ask "what's specifically wrong with how I ride?" , someone will tell them to ride more and get more experience with a bike before trying advanced shit.

I like the idea of doing multiple passes for the static bg to give it life, in this render I did the cabinet and bg in cycles and then the animation in eevee.

It ended up being pretty tricky to matte out the bloom affect to layer them together! I tried in compositor and it was alright, but Davinci Resolves matte detail ended up being better. Still, the bg looks flat, I should redo the resolve post prod to add some noise and light changes.

Don't know exactly what you mean, but I generally just set up a second, linked version of the scene, set it as eevee, turn on the bloom and shit, and then enable the bloom pass.
Then in the main cycles scene just grab the bloom pass and comp it in with no fuss. It should be pretty easy to do, even with multiple render layers.

>Still, the bg looks flat,
That's because you still have it cutting off into the distance like mentioned before. Do something like fading the ground into the bg, or adding a slight gradient to the bg to dim the stars closer to the horizon. Or both.

Still, the interlaced holograms look neat. Though the wood looks like it's super grainy (with the bump) and wet. Keep going though.

Ty. OG resolution was 1080x909, but with few passes, 1 min per frame to render. Then i upscaled it in topaz 400%, which removed all noise artifacts, but got maybe a bit too smooth.

Starting to look a lot more like her. I'm happy with how this is coming out so far. Blocking out the hair is taking a long time because I'm trying really hard to keep a good topography as I go, and I don't want to slip and let any bits turn into a difficult mess in the future.
The more I look at it, the more I think the head isn't exactly right, though. It looks like it might be closer to a very round capsule shape than a real ellipse. It looks like the face is too round on mine, and it's especially visible near the ears and around the eyes. It looks too much like a face on a balloon at the moment. I'll probably fix that after I finish up the hair, though. I feel like I'm learning a lot really quickly through application.

If I were you, I'd make this animation in a realtime renderer, which will be 10 times more than enough for you. I'm not sure if you're doing this style on purpose or you're trying to achieve photorealism? Either way, the environment would really benefit from details such as dirt, dust and damages. Stuff made with vertex painting and decals. Textures are too clean and simple atm, with seemingly 0 roughness variation, which is one of the most important things. I think you should reduce the reflectivity of the floor a bit as well. And lighting is kinda flat and lacks interest. It needs more contrast and some things need to be in the shadow so other things can stand out more.

The project could be cool, but it's probably too big for you at this time. Even more so when you're trying to animate everything, which is a pain. I suggest you focus on something much smaller in scope in the future, like a single corridor, and focus on the atmosphere.

Alright alright I applied a few Decimate modifiers here and there and it's looking decent enough (I hope textures will beautify this), bringing face and tri count to 760 and 1592.

Question 1: is that count acceptable for such an object (I expect it to go lower as I apply some Booleans)?
Question 2: the handle is considerably coarser than say the tankard "rings". Any idea why that is and how to fix it?
I made the rings from Cylinder (without the "caps", so just the "walls") > Solidify > Subsurf > Decimate, whereas I made the handle from a Plane (with Extrudes) > Solidfy > Subsurf > Decimate. Even after applying some Bevels along the edges the handle is still looking too blocky

For a low poly, remove the edges that don't affect the silhouette. But also think about the needed LOD of the object you're creating. If you want to show it from a relatively close distance, make sure individual polygons aren't visible. Modern engines cam handle that shit easily. So I'd suggest you to add some more geo to that handle as it is quite blocky. Can't tell if the body needs to be optimized further as I can't see a wireframe.

Just duplicate ur object then apply the subdivision and remove unnecessary edges that don't affect the silhouette, low poly meshes are a play of smooth group degrees and textures, it all depends how much geometry is in the scene and how the engine is occluding, just have a low,med,high versions of it put it in the scene and see ur overall performance.

I'd remove a couple of those edges along the handle as they don't really change the silhouette. I'd also remove whatever that tiny piece at the bottom is. Also, notice how it gets blockier at the bottom, because you use the same amount of sides in the cylinder along the whole body. Usually it's a good idea to reduce the amount of sides the smaller the radius is, so in this case it would be more optimized if the bottom part had more sides, and the top part less. You'd just merge those extra edges at some point in the middle. But it's probably too complex for you atm, and you probably don't need to worry so much about it anyway. I mean, 1000 faces is not that much, and in modern engines it should be fine, but idk what kind of game are you working on nor how complex it is. In this generation of games from my experience there is a rule of "no visible faceting", so yeah, props can be pretty dense now. Just look at the object from a distance the player will see it and optimize just before it becomes visibly blocky, then stop.

[Anonymous No.802294]

Nice. But I think you still need to do some work on the clothes, mainly on the sleeves, where the arms emerge into view -- it looks as if they come out of something solid.

Loads to do but actually liking how this is shaping up, tomorrow I think I'll focus on the Insula (big building) details, looking pretty basic.

Non obvious advice is much appreciated, chances are I'm aware of it just haven't gotten to it yet.

Hid the solid part of the sleeve by pushing the mesh back and casting shadows on it. It's all polypaint aka no UVs and texture. At this point I consider this done and just want to make something else. My workflow was all over the place so I'm going back to china tutorial land. Thx for the crits my bro anons.

You need to work on your lighting, my man. Another good example for those 2 retards on why lighting isn't "just about clicking a button and letting the renderer do everything". Bottom part is pitch black and shadows are too sharp. Also another lighter shadow isn't that pleasant. Gj on everything else though. Too bad you didn't texture it properly.

No materials are final! My workflow is janky, I create base materials just to help visualize the scene and then down the line I will go back and pretty much make a whole new one or heavily edit the existing one to be more PBR.

I just downloaded substance painter, first time using it so hopefully this scene will really benefit from it. Fuck UV unwrapping though -_-, procedural has made me lazy with that.

is she not supposed to be wearing pants or what
anyways the general shape of the body is alright, tho theres a lot of weird small deformities
like the back of her neck juts out a little, her fingers are collpasing and her feet bend a little inwards
other than that i like the style

She's supposed to be wearing beige/off-white riding pants. It's a little more obviously-not-skin from behind as there's more shading, but the color difference is hard to discern in various lighting situations.

I've fiddled with the neck a few times, but it's difficult to get it looking right while limiting myself to ~1k tris and vertex colors for the majority of the design.

Similarly, hands are a little ropey, and I might be better off giving up on trying to have real fingers with this poly count.

hmmm
how are you weighting this to a skeleton? it just looks to me like its bad weighting rather than an actual geometry problem
try checking to see if the finger bones are weighted to fingers they shouldnt be
also you might want to play with keeping the bottom of the pants more consistent, theyre all wavy

now make her naked

That sucks, anon. I'm sorry to hear that. A pressure-sensitive tablet makes a world of difference.
Nice Baba Yaga hut, by the way. The window could use a little bit of anti-aliasing, because it draws the eye and sticks out like a sore thumb. I'd probably hit that before the roof. The roof isn't perfect, but it really doesn't look bad.
The wooden railing looks odd at a prolonged look. I'd expect it to look like a rickety, dilapidated railing, so you could see the structure it had been before the rot and decay started setting in, but the smooth boundaries, the fact that some of the boards are really long and some are really short, and that all the boards go from edge to edge makes it look like they were just randomly nailed on.

[Anonymous No.802704]

>>802694
thanks! your input means a lot and I can definitely see what you mean. I'm trying to work the larger areas (like walls and roof) first before truly polishing the rest like the eye (it was just bucket painted, as were other minor regions), but I think you make a valid point about the wooden railing, I'll rework it before retackling the roof. again, thanks a bunch! I expect it to be more captivating once I animate it with owl-like moves.
and as for the tablet, I do plan on getting one in the future, so no reason to worry. I just don't have the time to work now since school is charging twice as many assignments with the new distance education format

[Anonymous No.802714]

>>802667
The hands aren't weighted at all, but it's difficult to see the pose of the fingers without any lighting.

As for the waviness of the boots... Good catch. The low poly count makes some fuckiness inevitable, but you're right, the rigging is making it worse than it needs to be in that shot.

I'm definitely gonna have to work on the color of these pants.

[Anonymous No.802718]

>>802714
>The hands aren't weighted at all,
make sure to also turn on "preserve volume" in the armature options, it enables dual quaternion skinning, which helps with volume loss
however your best bet is to take a good look at the weighting of all your bones
its especially important with such a low poly count -- you might be better off manually assigning verts to their bones

also seriously consider changing the color of the pant lol, its hard to see it as anything but skin, esp. since its all just gradients

Speaking of coom models, where can I find good tutorials for 'em? It's easy to find SFW tutorials on YT, but it's obviously harder to find tutorials where you learn to make a fullbody with animatable dicks, tits and assholes, learn to make sure your model doesn't stretch right in the more interesting bits, etc. Where to look?

I think that anon meant the materials bro. The shapes 'n folds look very good but the coloring and textures are very basic, but probably by design, I mean if you can churn out a model of such a quality I think the artist knows too, he just didn't feel like going further than that. Great model
