made the base in maya, exported to zbrush to deform it a bit, exported back to maya and did retopo. (Take the cube, extrude it, add few loops, scale down every second one, ad few support loops here and there, do one subdivision to get the organic look -> touch it up a bit with sculpting -> retopo)

So I'm getting back into blender after drawing for the last 5 or so years. What I'm trying to do is build 3 main body types and use them modularly. My goal is a more simplified type models is it a good idea to make the model anatomically correct then simplify/stylize it? All the tutorials I see are modeling stylized characters but I really don't like the results. The designs don't translate well imo.

Anonymous Tue Sep 19 13:25:41 2023 No.958827

>>958818
Yeah I'm doing basemeshes for my characters too, finished the one for my males. I find it more advisable to only do 1 basemesh per gender but if you're feeling confident you can do 3, I just don't recommend it as I find it unlikely you'll be using all of them, chances are you may use all 3 in the beginning but then end up favouring only one of them. A lot of wasted work if you ask me, I've been there, not only that but if you're gonna make clothes as well you'll have to refit them for each body type! Trust me, just do only one basemesh for your males and only one for your females, Bethesda style, but hey you do you I ain't your boss.
>stylized
To me the issue isn't so much that they're stylized as it's that the proportions are all over the place. I found my older basemeshes were inadequate due to their hands, feet, heads, arm, torso and leg had all unrealistic dimensions. You ("you" in general, not you specifically anon) can do stylized but that shouldn't be an excuse for shitty anatomy, the most important thing is for all the body parts to have realistic proportions

Anonymous Tue Sep 19 13:54:32 2023 No.958834

>>958827
I'm thinking of wildly differing body types like small/medium/large I just don't see how one base mesh can be manipulated to all desired proportions. This is for animation not for a game I have no desire try that again, Jesus.
>I found my older basemeshes were inadequate due to their hands, feet, heads, arm, torso and leg had all unrealistic dimensions.
This is what I'm trying to avoid by creating catch all models I can manipulate down the line to fit renditions of original and existing characters without having to go back and remodel from scratch every time.

unity . its great to see the company men going after their fair share, their slice of the pie. About time they all start earning a decent wage. makes me proud to be so close, almost friends with the higher ups ever since istarted to make video game inside the Unity engine.

man id shoot myself if I had to moderate the unity forums for 1 god dam day and these men having been fighting in those trenches for years.. after the company makes one of the most well-calculated business decisions I've ever been so close to witness in my life, I'm struck with this overwhelming pride, in my position as an active user of unity techlogy, Im really getting to know these guys. my test to earn there respect was becoming a kick ass , all around crazy good game developer. and its like, im close friends with those guys at this point, we're in the same pond me and those guys

think of the serratus like a hand print that tucks under the lats. It hits 9 ribs but you can only see 4 and a half. Everything originates from under the shoulder blade and wraps around to the front into the the obliques.

What music does /wip/ listen to to fuel their creative sessions?
For me it's russian orthodox death metal, song is Batushka - Litourgiya:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgfa5UlZAL8

If you're gonna share music I highly suggest to not put just a link but to specify at least genre, artist and song name; whenever people share just a link in other boards' treads I just gloss over them because the chances of clicking a link for nothing are amplified, at least if the poster says beforehand what their link is about one can more easily engage with it or ignore it altogether instead of clicking only to find out it's shit to them

Redpill me on Blender's Alpha modes anon kun.
I'm trying to make some very simple game-ready water, so just a scrolling texture with transparency. This setup in pic rel does what I need it to but I heard my computer working quite a lot just to render like 3-4 water planes. Am I doing something wrong? My Material settings are:
- Blend Mode = Alpha Blend
- Shadow Mode = None.
I'm just surprised to hear my computer struggling over what seem like such light settings, there aren't even shadows involved for crying out loud

>>959192
The basic theory of UV unwrapping is that you have to view it like cutting a paper doll with scissors: the paper doll is your model while the scissors are the UV seams.

When it comes to texturing, what 3D software does is flattening your model so that it may PROJECT an image texture onto your 3D model, and it will do it regardless of how well you cut your paper doll: if you cut the paper doll making it so it can be spread nicely and flatly on your table, then the image will look not distorted; but if you didn't cut your paper properly, then the software will do the equivalent of squashing and bending your 3D model and flattening it that way in order to project the image texture, needless to say this way the projected image texture will look distorted as hell.

As for your model, personally I almost never use the Subdivision Surface modifier, but I'm pretty sure it affects UV unwrapping in its own way. Look up on Google what common issues UV unwrapping a model with Subdivision Surface there are and how to fix them, I'd help you myself but I'm very inexperienced with Subdivision Surface. Maybe another anon can help you there.
What I can say is that you definitely need to add more cuts to your model, I'll show you how I'd do it with a screenshot

UV continuity is overrated if you ask me. Your number 1 priority in UV unwrapping is making those islands nice and flat, number 2 priority is hiding seams. As a beginner you can 100% afford to make a shitload of cuts to flatten those islands, you'll get better with practice but first you gotta wrap (heh) your head around this stuff on a purely conceptual level

Also you'd want texture continuity only for things that warrant it, chairs aren't really among them because they are made up of multiple pieces, they are NOT one single object, there are exceptions like those single-piece plastic chairs but most chairs are not like that. What kind of chair are you trying to make? Are you using a reference? Can I see it?

Can anyone tell me to how use stencils in substance, but to color them? I don't mean like when you do stickers and things I mean more like if you have a text that you want be, for instance, blue. I know you could do it the same sort of way as you do stickers and things, but what if you want to change that blue to a red to see how it looks? There must be an easy way to do it without having to make a new stencil every time.

there's no need for that, I actually agree with you, but that anon's ghost model has perfectly serviceable topo for facial animation. See >>959321 it sounds like you thought I meant topology isn't important at all.
Sure you could spend hours remaking the whole thing for immaculate deformation, but the end result will look exactly the same to the average player.

I really love this design. Belly looks great, legs go all the way down. My only nitpick is that the place where the lioncloth connects to the belt looks strange. The contour with the belly is great though - maybe if the belt went all the way around with the white coming from underneath, or if the white cloth somehow looked to be draped over the belt?

you've improved a lot with this, but something about >>958694 really creeps me out. I'd love to see this technique used on a horror game monster, like an amorphous but vaguely humanoid creature - it would be great at amplifying the fear of the unknown, it would be difficult to pin down what it actually looks like since it has no definite form
just imagine that thing pursuing you in the dark using procedural animations to push against walls, grasp around corners and move around in horrific ways

I've not looked into baking simulations for use in engines, but I'd assume it ruins the effect if you're coupling them with procedural animation

>>959359
the addons I use mostly are:
textools for a couple of Quick UV features
bone manager and game rig tools for rigging
and a few that come with blender like looptools, extra objects, bsurfaces and node wrangler

rigify is too overwhelming for me, maybe I'll give it another go once I understand every nuance of its inner workings
retopoflow feels way too intrusive, I like some of the tools, but it really shits itself when you're already using one of its hotkeys, and the fact that it demands a whole mode really pisses me off, I use industry standard keymap and camera controls (alt+ mouse buttons) and retopoflow didn't take kindly to that for some reason, maybe it's different now but I've since learned to retop pretty quickly without its help
>bpainter

why am I only just learning about this
I hate how blender works with brush presets, are there any addons that aren't 6 years old that just has that feature? I can't seem to find any other than bpainter

If I'm really stuck I like to make a little story up in my head. Doesn't matter if it's a scene set in a room, outside of a building, a whole street, or just things someone would carry. My little story isn't complete until I make all the models for it and bring that scene from the story to life.
A lot of the time I'll think "that might be cool to model" and then I think it would be better with more things around it. A bit like how fish and chips are nice, but salt and vinegar makes them better. For instance, one of the first things I ever modeled properly was a gold bar, but then it went
>A gold bar is cool
>But a lot of gold bars are better
>Gold bars in crates are even cooler than that
>But who keeps crates of gold bars?
>I know, Nazis
>But where would they keep gold bars?
>In a spooky cellar hidden away from the Allies
>Maybe those crates have been hidden away until after the war and weren't found until later
And that was the first thing I ever posted on /wip/. It wasn't very good because it was the first thing I'd made that wasn't low poly, but the point is that I made a scene based on what started out as basically a rectangle. Thinking of that scene motivated me to model more things rather than just leaving it as a single gold bar.
I don't know if that helps, but that's the way my autism does it.

turns out that none of my automatic muscle relaxing and contracting was working...had to rebuild all my curves. This was why the bicep was not contracting. Now the issue is the tricep contraction is reversed.

also found out that i had to do a "unsmooth" and then resmooth operation from the new maya 2024 commands to get rid of the hard edged banding from r3ds....

Now I have to deal with the high frequency noise....basically from what i have read they say that there is a setting that controls this and if you reduce it the noise goes down but the stability of the sim drastically goes down as well

Damn I really wanted to nail this character but I guess my powerlevel is too low to succeed. I got around to partially retopoing this >>956054 and did a zillion tweaks afterwards but it's still not right. Might have to scrap it and try again in a year or so.
What really annoys me is how I have zero idea how a sculpt will look with eyelashes, eyebrows, hair and a material with sss. When I first retopo'd it, it looked absolutely retarded (I mean it still does, but much more so) so I had to do the annoying process of adjusting the sculpt, then adjusting the retopo mesh to fit the changes to see it if looked better, then again and again until I got this. Do you think this is salvageable or should I really get more experience before hoping to nail a likeness?

You problem is the source image.
That face is a mess
one eye is straight the other slanted and there is too much space between the eyes and the mouth making the nose strangely elongated.

Staying close to this reference will always result in a wonky 3D model.

Use the face more as an loose inspiration.

What are you talking about this is excellent anon, it does actually look like the reference image, the reason why you feel it doesn't it's because it's lacking all that stuff on the hair (those laces and jewelry there), the hair is much more bushy too, as it stands your model has too few and thin hair strands. The hair strands are also too perfect: if you look at the reference image you'll see that it isn't all neat and orderly but there are also some hairs out of place, he does have that kind of "bed hair" style in places. Keep up the good work, don't worry about your model not looking 100% exactly like the reference image, it doesn't have to

>>959710
Yeah I guess the reference is kinda weird. BG2 portraits are known to be just heavily photoshopped photos. But this is a pickle cause I really wanted the model to actually BE her rather than an interpretation. But looking at the matcap view the face is pretty long, like some TES altmer or something. Not really sure what to do since making the face less long will make it more human, but at the same time lose a defining feature. I wish a had the skill to pull off a human-proportioned "caricature" of her likeness, but I'm not skilled enough, which is why I'm frustrated.
>>959730
Thanks, I guess I'll work on it a bit more to see if it clicks then. I started adding those hairbands and stuff. I may have messed up the face though.

I can totally read her as aerie, it looks good anon, it's just the shaders and lights that make her look shitty the primary shapes are there focus on the tertiary shapes, put a roughness/specular map for the skin and paintings on her face and test a scene with good illumination. You will see the changes.

im jumping back into doing programming stuff so not a 3dcg wip per se, but i made a visualizer for the ghost's hunting strategy that looks visually interesting.

The big pink circle is the center of their chosen hunting ground, which they pick based on rules unique to each one. The little dot that bounces around is a spot within range the ghost might go to. Once it's close it picks a spot and goes there, when it gets there it picks a new spot. after a certain amount of time they'll pick a new central location based on rule and start over.

What pathfinding are you runing anon? A* and reverse floodfill is prob how most would solve such routing, or a vector 'flow field' and just move towards a random adjacent waypoint and then traverse a random distance along the field.

I like flow fields personally because of how easily they allow you to move entire crowds thru areas without getting stuck.

I am using unity's built in navmesh system. The primary hunting points were hand created and the sub points are vectors with random x and z coordinates with a range matching the hunting radius. That part isn't at all complicated. What was was figuring out their personalities. The pink one checks each hand made point to see which on is closest to the player and sets it. The Red one (with the new dreamworks face) tries to mach your latitude to catch you in the next area you might visit. Green picks a spot in average of all the collectibles (she hides in the center till the end of the game then roams around pellets you missed). blue just picks one at random.
It would be easy to make a new maze and have different/more points.

Turns out that my previous rest shape was taken from the solver real start frame and not after all the tissue pressure and sucking in during the runup had been applied, meaning the extracted corrective would not correctly hit the target.

Reduced the bicep auto flex by half.

Its funny how this sim is so involved yet so delicate - setting one parameter incorrectly can ruin the look of everything

There is some wiggle room before a face starts looking deformed and unnatural.

You need to be spot on with anatomical features if you stray from the idealized proportions.

The eyes are a far too simple shape, you have to think even if it's an elf the shape of the eye is the way it is because the parts that are necessary for an eye to function end up creating that shape.

If you slant an eye to such a high degree you should also think about the underlying structure. The eye sockets would have the same rotation, that would make the cheekbones protrude more.

The same goes for the nose.
Even a very straight nose is made out of the underlying bone and cartilage.

Another thing to consider is that her jaw is especially small for the size of her head.
That would mean all the muscles that move the jaw are smaller and as a consequence the all the features of the skull that are there to support a strong biteforce like the brow ridge are far less pronounced.

Well, at least she's a little recognizable. I need to figure out how to do skin materials. For now I just plugged in the voronoi texture I'm using as a bump map into an rgb curve and mixed that with the roughness "map" - as I'm only using vertex colors for now, only the tattoos are an image. I wanted to try painting it in armor paint but I'm pretty sure it doesn't support SSS so I'm not sure how to paint the "subdermal" layer (that I'm using for subsurface color) other than just literally mixing it with the diffuse in there. I'll try to do a scene with lighting after I rig the thing.
>>959814
Thanks for the tips. I tried to nudge it a little bit in that direction (left side of pic related is before, right after) but I'm not sure if I made it better or worse. You probably had a bigger change in mind, right? It's hard to balance because I felt the larger changes I tried strayed further from the reference. What really bugs me is that it still looks goofy if you scale the picture down, but okish when zoomed in. I'm guessing that's what you mean by being misshapen. I'll try to fix that.

I use blender, so, I just switch the snapping to "face" with "individual elements on" and "snap with itself" off, then I throw on subsurf, set it to 2 subdivisions, then a shrinkwrap modifier set to "project" in both negative and positive directions, and then I just poly model as usual, snapping the mesh to the sculpt by holding the snapping hotkey when necessary.
After I finish fiddling with it though, I'm gonna use multires instead of subsurf, collapse the shrinkwrap into the multires, bake normals from that, and set the subdivisions to 1 with baked normals as a texture. For performance reasons, as my computer isn't very new.

Anonymous Thu Sep 28 16:18:31 2023 No.959852

>>959851
Oh, sorry. No, I just eyeballed it. I eyeball everything I make because I feel that tracing never really works aside from maybe matching body proportions from a chart or something. I've tried tracing faces before, and it never ever worked for me, even when I spent a lot of time trying to match the perspective of the picture through a camera. Maybe some kinda photogrammetry program can match camera angles accurately, but I don't think a human can. Much less from a drawn/photoshopped picture which is inherently inaccurate.

Fixed a situation where when the arm was swinging, the g forces were too high and the bicep slid off the bone completely.

Tried rendering with Lama shaders but found them hard to control. Obviously my roughness was too low. My uncompressed avi straight out of resolve and before compression looks significantly sharper and more detailed then this webm, unfortunately. Going to have to do more tests. Something must be wrong because even though I was running a pixar preset from the material browser, all the lama skin presets pretty much looked grey while the gpu pixar surface shaders looked their appropriate color (caucasian to black, depending on preset). I was also unable to change the color of the skin to check that it was working, to say a blue.

fixed the lama settings. Turns out pixar preset library for lama has some wires that are going towards obsolete connections and thus the color doesnt come through and it doesnt do anything. Also when you do connect it properly the procedural values are not tuned with ACES color management in mind for the examples, and thus only work in the No color management option. I had to eyeball the values and render again, but lama is very powerful. This is how the previous sequence should have looked

"Before the apocalypse, civil unrest and criminality had reached their apex. Corruption infiltrated every facet of society, violence dominated the streets.
To, quote, "meet the demand for increased security", metro stations were soon fitted with panoptiturrets. Armed with double quad barrel 50. BMG miniguns, they reduced to hot pulp all foolish enough to commit anything from shoplifting to pickpocketing to robbery. Some citizens voiced their doubts as to the need for such overkill weaponry. Soon compromising details arose as to the acquisition of the panoptiturrets, with weapons monolith Gulliver Dynamics being suspected of bribing city officials to obtain the supply contracts. Such a tale was not unheard of and was largely met with apathy, what little citizen outrage there was in the face of the upteenth misuse of the treasury fell on deaf ears.
Coincidentally, the panoptiturrets proved their effectiveness in the quelling of the frequent (and bloody) popular revolts: whenever curfews were enforced, and metro stations were locked down, any unprepared rebel thinking of using the underground tunnels to move around the city would meet a grisly end".

ah bro this is the thing! The whole point of making a simulation instead of running corrective shapes is this specific thing.
The bicep shouldnt collapse until the forearm is pushing down on it. You know muscles inflate when they contract, but some muscles have to depress because as they contract the complimentary limb is pushing down on it. That means the bicep expands through the whole stroke of the arm cur;, until the forearm touches it and starts pushing in.
This is acting like you ARE using a corrective blendshape but just 1 too few, deforming strait from base mesh to the squished bicep pose.

not sure if this is what you mean but with this muscle system, the bones drive the muscles. As the distance between two curve CVs riveted to bones change length, the muscle contracts / relaxes / moves. As the muscles move, they move other muscles that they are bound to via various attachments. The muscles can never move the bones. If I have my bicep in a relaxed state and then trigger flexion over frames 10-15 it cannot affect the position of any bone

>>960033
> it looks like the density is more like fat than muscles

reduced the stiffness of the skin from 3 to 0.5 to suck in the skin more as doing the opposite gives less suck in. This looks better and less fatty in AB comparisons, but introduced some more instability.

Tried rendering with gpu in cycles 4 instead of cpu in prman. Went from 1min / frame to 6sec/frame. I made a quick shader but the quality was worse than prman, but maybe with more time in the shader editor there is hope. The reduction in render times for the same sized image is nice

Yeah, in a nutshell.
The key differences being you have to deposit the pellets you collect in special locations. Your character is a repair robot on a spaceship. The ghosts are aliens that invaded. You also slowly get irradiated. After a certain amount of radiation builds up you move too slowly to outrun the ghost. You clear radiation by discharging the radiation absorbing fluid in your radiation pouch. If youre powered uo and irradiated you can do a special attack that kills th ghosts for longer.

>it looks like the density is more like fat than muscles

turns out i was missing a pass after all, the actual "skin" or "dermis" pass. You are actually supposed to simulate "fat" and have its stiffness properties be "of" scientifically measured fat and then simulate another skin layer on top of the fat pass with a specific material and that is supposed to be your final shippable result as opposed to doing what i was doing before which was making the "fat" more and more elastic.

webm related is the skin pass. Now I move on to learning to mirror my setup to the other side

The hardest part is figuring out what the settings on your lights do. Read the lighting section in your software's help documents like it's a book.
When you know what fiddling with what does what it's as simple as googling pictures of studio setups that produce the effect you want and copying them.

Bros why do the textures in Eevee (bottom) look arguably better than the ones in Cycles? What have I fucked up?
I know all of the other glaring errors so no one needs to point them out. I'm just concerned with this right now.

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 7 19:27:05 2023 No.960721 >>960718 the top looks significantly better

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 7 19:32:41 2023 No.960723 >>960721 Does it? It's like parts of the wear aren't as noticeable on the Cycles one. I'm assuming now though that that's from the lighting because it's not a proper setup it's just an HDRI.

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 7 19:47:58 2023 No.960724 >>960723 a hdri is proper lighting with cycles

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 7 19:49:10 2023 No.960725 >>960724 Yeah, but you know what I mean. A more adequate HDRI rather than the one I'm using because I just picked the first one from the folder without any thought.

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 7 19:59:58 2023 No.960728 >>960725 just look at the metal On / Off switch on the right on the bottom render. It looks awful compared to the top. Cycles is far superior to eevee.

Since you've mentioned that I've just noticed that the on/off text and the other non-white text is engraved in Eevee, but more like embossed in Cycles (it's supposed to be embossed). That's weird. Unless it's one of those odd settings you need to activate/deactivate in Eeevee.
Other than that is it looking alright?

Anonymous Sat Oct 7 20:27:08 2023 No.960734

>>960732
no, its not looking alright. The eevee render doesnt generate any shadows from the hdri and these are all over the model. If you turned on the visibility of the hdri in the background you would also see that the orangy color is not present in eevee since it has no irradiance. You have an untrained eye. Nobody serious uses eevee. Im outta here

>>960718
Have you tried doing an actual render of the one on the top? Eevee is meant to be a real time renderer like you would find in a game engine, while Cycles is meant for things to be fully rendered. This means that Cycles will look worse than Eevee in this scenario because it isn't fully doing what it was designed to do, while Eevee is already operating at the extent of its capabilities.

I don't know, it mostly looks like the actual thing to me. Let me guess, you think his model looks bad because it doesn't match the image in your head of what a gun should look like, and you just wanted to find another thing to nitpick.

Actually that's a good point I haven't done that yet.

>>960740
In fairness it wasn't that reference I was using it was this one. They're more or less the same, but different enough.

now i can mirror any setup. It was harder than it looked to mirror as the naming has to be just right....getting very close to full body render, unfortunately my sim times at all stages have doubled which is why i have been encouraged to test parts separately

You might want to play around with the shading some before trying to finalize your mesh too much. On-model-ish Pokemon look kind of weird without stylized rendering, and the shaders you use can affect some of the topology you want.

should I connect the mouth with the base mesh and them unwrap the mouth on the same uv texture to be able to animate it properly?
Also a question about eyes, as I understand I need to keep them as separate object so I ran rotate them in a game engine?
