Hey now, people have done much, much worse.
If the client is happy with the end result, what's it matter to them how quick and easy you made it? What they don't know won't hurt em. If they don't feel like it was worth it, they could just not pay.
I'm not saying that I do this, OP just asked how easy it would be to scam people with 3d models. Which is pretty fuckin easy, assuming you have a market. Finding that market is the more involved part. If I've seen anything from Patreon, retards are super fucking willing to part with their money for the shittiest of "products".
>>
"normies" do not buy 3d models though
>>
>>976870
I think he's talking less "normie" like regular people, but moreso internet "normies" that are terminally online and take shit like VR Chat, Twitter, and Discord seriously. Those people absolutely buy 3d models, and they're absolutely retarded when it comes to all things computers.
>>
>>976892
OP here, and yeah that's basically the market I'm aiming for. I'm not sure if it's as retarded as it was last I checked years ago and if I've been living under a rock with their advancement, but I specifically remember running across some VRChat people bragging about their models having high poly counts and I suspect they have not progressed much beyond that level of thought. It seems like the amount of animations for VRChat player models has a greater preference than I anticipated these days, but eh- not too concerned about that part desu, rushing out the actual mesh bases to slightly modify is what would really constitute the grift part of this and I can basically do anything else manually with probably some ease (which isn't much beyond probably relearning how to not break things in Unity upon importing or whatever).

A very fun hobbie! This is the "Lettuce Temple" from the Aeon Flux episode "The Purge".
Is there anywhere online where people get together to make stuff like this?
And here's a question for you guys, with environments, how do you organize your 'objects' in Blender? In this project, for example, the 'body' of the temple is one object, the pillars are separate objects, the pools below are another.., Should they all be one big object? Or should I break it down further? Does it matter?

Forgot about this one too.
Started up a little project about a year before the Bleach stuff to recreate the Spirit World office in Yu-Yu-Hakusho, but kinda lost steam early on. I think it was mainly because I had to shift my focus to another gig, and by the time I finished I couldn't be bothered to continue.
Kind of a running theme with both projects. Both are centered around the whole "spirit world" from both animes, and both were left unfinished because something else took priority.

Is it using two inverted hulls, one for the black and one for the white?
Seems like it should be possible to do something fancy with a shader, but it would need screenspace info which maybe blender doesn't offer
>>
>>976629
update, found the guy who made this model, and he made this video about how he creates models.
He doesn't mention inverted hulls, just suggests using freestyle.

I think the way he did the OP pic might be with a white inverted hull and black freestyle lines

get greys at the tail end of your journey. Get anatomy books tailored towards artists to start
>>
>>976782
The proko drawing basics series on youtube is probably a good place to start. It doesn't actually matter where you start too much. If you like anime then draw goku. Just draw what you're into. It's way more important to gain enthusiasm and interest right now. Art is about learning every day, and you need to know that you can learn every day and to look for opportunities to learn. They're everywhere! Get a sketchbook and start drawing all the time.
Photography is a good way to train your eye too. A phone is plenty good enough, just try to take nice interesting pictures. it helps to keep your brain in an artistic mindset.
You can open up blender and zbrush and play with it too, look up tutorials, flippednormals is good.
Get your youtube algo to just show you art tutorials and watch them for fun instead of fail compilations of whatever you might watch now.
The most important thing is don't get discouraged when you suck.

https://anatomy4sculptors.com/
the pdfs here are really good. You can find them on rutracker
Burne Hogarth's dynamic anatomy is really good too.
There's a lot of good anatomy textbooks for artists, just make sure you accidently buy a scam book full of AI renderings. You can't use AI for reference because you can't trust it to be right, and you can't trust yourself to know when it's wrong.

Man, all this talk about CAD, I just wanna be able to use NURBS to make cars and sweeping organic surface shit like Max. That shit looks so nice to use for that case. Not nice enough to completely swap over to Max, but enough to get a bit frustrated at the Blender devs for implmenting such an eighth-assed feature (because "half-assed" would be giving them too much credit). They got to the point where they could display NURBS surfaces, and just stopped there. "Yup, that's a wrap people".

I'm having a hard time finding some guidelines on this, I guess cause riggin stuff are industry kept secrets.
But I'm a gamedev and I'd like to automate this process as much as possible if not completely.
So the rigging part, the control rig part and ESPECIALLY the weight painting part cause I can enjoy any of these BUT weight painting.

I dev in Unreal so I need my bone hierarchy to fit Unreal's mannequin one. What addons/plugins should I go for (if that possible to automate completely that shit in the first place)?
I don't care if it's in Maya, Blender, whatever as long as I end up with a character correctly rigged to use anim packs from the Epic Market place. I'll pick the ones that lifts up the most work from my shoulders.

The key point some you are missing is the fact that I want my rigs to be UE friendly (with the default skeletal mesh) so I can use all these anims pack I got from the market place.

>>976535

If the topology is good then weighting and rigging will be easy.
>>
>>976596
I'd explain why you are retarded but I want you to stay that way
>>
Ok, I settled down for this
> Rig automatically in Advanced Skeleton
> Generate control rig with it as well
> Use ngSking for weight painting
> Tweak weight painting
I think it's a good balanced between automation and manual rigging. I'll have to try it out for myself.
>>976625
That's not the point tho. At least not for the moment cause all I want to do right now is download Jojo meshes from resource-models.com and make them move in my game with the default mannequin anims.
>>
>>976637
Jojo poses also includes the hair and clothing. Those tools won’t do much in the feeling of terror and cool. Animation is also another important aspect when you want the clothes and hair to look in a certain direction. My advice is to actually learn how everything is done, not hard to do once you know.

>>
>>976544
That art-style came and went real fast, I think it was the fact it became technically possible to have high frequency detail
everywhere due to normal maps so artists just started bukkake'ing details across all surfaces to add value to their creations.

At some point someone realized how we've been able to make unlimited detail for a long time in the real world
yet nobody this side of India ever goes for that aesthetic as it looks super gaudy to be that ornamental.

To western audiences good design will be deliberate design, not one that looks filled in with unnecessary detail for the sake of being filled in with detail.

Sure. Here is my topology: >>977110
I bevelled the corner of the redlined area in the original image, but I'm still stuck with a round inner corner. As you can see in the image I linked, bevelling or creasing that area leads to undesirable artifacts/fucked up shading.

I kept sculpting my Tulpa, but today I feel better, I don't tremble when I see her face anymore.
As the other anon say to me, maybe my Tulpa chose to be her, maybe I need that trauma to be over.

I got you bro, open up a 3D view in Revit. Go to Insert tab then Link CAD, a file view will pop up see attached image, then in the place at box select your level and hopefully it will show up, sometimes you need to fuck around with positioning type and manually drop it somewhere, sometimes you gotta change the import units cause idk. Use the align tool, AL on keyboard to line that shit up.

Fuck Reddit

I work at a well-known game company. I'm 20 years old. I can't post any works I've created due to NDAs. I don't create much outside of work. I've been with the company for about six months. Recently, I've been experiencing a dangerous amount of imposter syndrome. My models are pretty mid-level. Macro details exist, and they look great. But micro details and hard surface details are missing. Also, I'm terrible at game optimization. I feel like I have to learn as fast as possible, otherwise I'm just making the products I'm working on worse. Thankfully, none of my assets were rejected. I've noticed that a lot of other artists get high praise for the work they submit, and most of the time I get thank yous. I think I know why. It's not that I feel I'm entitled to praise. I wouldn't want to get it if my work wasn't as good as theirs. Does anyone have any advice or tips for me on how to improve my assets creation, macro / micro detail workflows, and optimization? Additionally, do any anons have any free therapy advice I could take advantage of to not feel so shitty about my work?
