Why wouldnt people use a CAD program like fusion 360 to build everything for game models except soft surface models? Using it for making cars and houses is obviously superior to blender. Ive been trying out the workflow of fusion 360 -> blender -> retopo -> ue4, any pitfalls here?
>>784481>>784493Right now trying to make intricate vehicle parts ala beamng or my summer car, buuut was thinking to apply the same thing to buildings and interior props
Use what you are best with, In my experience programs like fusion in a studio environment have their downsides, what happens if you get caught up and a co worker has to pick up some of your work and doesn't know fusion? the workflow is so different from other softwares.
>>784350how do you model a dent into a metal surface in cad
>>784991You don't. Or you use a tiny solid to Boolean subtract, which is retarded.In CAD, you create perfection. You then bring that into any traditional 3D DCC, and take it down from perfect to realistic. That's where you infuse the model with soul and artistry.HOWEVER, don't use Blender for the last step. If you do, your work becomes cursed, and you'll never make any money from it.
I wish I could have the relational measurement and positioning tools of a CAD package, with vertex modeling and sculpting.
2.91 just got released!
Thoughts on auto rig pro?
>>785001I like textoolshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu8r_DDJqhU
>>785014Mixamo is a better option
>>785014as far as I'm aware, it's the only way to re-target an animation made for one rig onto another.Aside from that, I don't like any sort of auto-rigging addons. I'm very particular with how I design and use my own armature skeletons. I like making using of the "Auto-IK" button in place of IK constraints and I strategically only make bone constraints that make sense (independent shoulder and hip movement)
Blender 2.91 won't even start. How come that I can run 3DS Max 2021 on my PC but Blender 2.91 can't even start.
So THIS is the power of blender
>>784857>>784868can confirm, all I do is cg and gym and he is hellishly bad at both
>>784259what the actual fuck
>>784251His portfolio was straight dogshit. Neither Blender OR Maya can cover up the work of shitty artist.
>>784620Stop projecting. There are plenty of people here that are professional and plenty that are hobbyists. You can be either and still recognize a shitty portfolio.
>>784651>Do you really think studios he is applying to create their textures with procedural materials for Cyclesyes, I think he would

With break coming along I plan on doing some practice models of furries I liked on the web (with permission).
is this good topology?
>>784845that's from the converged star trek showglobohomo motion designers worked on the title designgood topology is white supremacist
>>784900This still subdivides like shit though. Where to add support loops so I don't get crap results at the corner?

>>784914if your stuff is viewed in printed form or cinema you can care.if your audience is viewing the stuff on a pc don't bother they probably have shitty color accuracy on their screen.
https://youtu.be/AppcEXhB8aYWhat program is this?But more importantly what do i need to learn to make those kind of characters .I don't mean the modeling there's already alot of tutorials on that but how do you get real time hair physics and that tail movement and those shaders. I'm guessing it's all in unity? what good resources are there to teach you about doing this kinda stuff.getting a finished usable charchter
Anyone tried ripping 3d models from Sketchfab? If so how?
>>784914i1display is better from what I've read but really you need better screens too
>>784947Could be Virtualcast, but I wouldn't be surprised if Hololive had their own bespoke setup just to avoid the risk of being dependent on another company.The hair physics are just a bunch of bones set behave that way in unity. You will need this https://vrm.dev/en/docs/univrm/install/univrm_install/
What's your most deep darkest workflow secret?I'll start, i paint normals.
>>782155A lot of it is laziness on my part, since I'd rather make a scene than spend 3 weeks modelling a car. Not to mention a lot of my clients are individuals, so making them pay a fuckton of money for me to model a car and animate a scene is just unrealistic.It's nice to say, "yeah this job will cost $500", and get paid the actual cost of the work, but it's gonna scare off the only people regularly coming for shit like album art. Not all clients are big-fish, and they don't come often enough for me to rely on them.
Coom powers me and yet I do not find my own work sexy.
>>774684im so good at 3d modelling in sketchup and rendering with shite softwares that I can charge $500 for a set of 5 renders I did in about a day
>>778612Same
>>778612>cocainedude, i don't charge as much for it to be profitable
How close am I from making proper waifus?

>>784981this place is infinitely shitter than /v/ faggot
ok so im probably going to fail uni and i need some money to get one whould it be a good idea to learn blender and make profit out of it i would say i know blender only 10% how much could i earn from it
>>784777if youre going to fail uni you probably arent smart enough to just earn money out of no where with some skill you dont even have
>>784791Well, I'm close to you. If you get really good and catch some freelancing position in a western studio, you can earn mad money, but that's only IF you git gud enough and that will take quite a while. If you're in need of money ASAP, there are probably much better options available.
>>784777>whould it be a good idea to learn blender and make profit out of itNO, it would be an exceptional stupid idea. By that motivation alone I can tell that you'll fail. Do it as a hobby for fun if you like too, but doing it for money is stupid.
>blender is for third worlders

>>784931I thought he was joking as well so I skimmed through it. He really does shill his own tutorials. Pretty epic.
>>784347this guy is going insane
>>784898what the actual fuck
>>784347Never watched any of his long ass multi part tutorials
listened to the youtube version. Lost it when the poliigon shilling started
I'm going to try to make this as short and clear as possible.Ok, so I'm a programer who makes video games. For the moment nothing serious, just small projects where I test some mechanics and stuff but I want to start the serious stuff now.I want to stay indie wich means, working with a small team, wich means for myself that I want to do as much work on my own on the projects. Meaning me wanting to pick a new skill.But since I'm not a NEET and that I actually have a life outside of my gamedev hobby, I want to pick wisely or I'll make my life a new kind of hell. I'm a very organized person but let's stay realistic, there's no way I can program, model and animate on my own, I'll never finish anything doing all that by myself (obviously)So this is where I need your experience and advices. I used to draw a lot as a kid/teen (and was good at it) so the logical choice would be to get into modeling. But body movements/choregraphies/martial arts have also been a passion of mine since my childhood so I could see myself animating and loving it too. Here's my problem, I don't have a particular preference for modeling and animating.Then what do you advise me to pick between modeling and animating. Like I said, I don't have any preference (for the moment) so I need arguments related to these questions:- In 2020 and in the future, is it going to be better to be an animator or modeler ?- In terms of time, what's the quality of work you can provide for 50 hours of work for each skill? (I know it depends on a lot of factors but I'm not asking for something precise here, just an idea would be nice. I'm a total beginner in 3DCG)- As a game designer (and programer), is it better to have a total control on your models or your animations?I think I said it all. I know it might be a very vague subject/question but all I'm asking or is some kind of vague idea/answers of what is waiting for me wether I pick modeling or animating
>>784951He asked about modeling and animation though. Wtf are you advising for him to do with houdini? Spend god knows how much time learning high level workflow before actually being productive with it? Go ahead, call me a retard for the fifth time today, I see you enjoy it. All of those are incredibly niche tutorials for stuff he might not ever need, why start with that?
>>784954>He asked about modeling and animation though.And I gave him an answer.>Wtf are you advising for him to do with houdini?doing magic?>Go ahead, call me a retard for the fifth time today,I called you a smooth-brain before, but If you insist I can also call you a retard.>why start with that?Because it's what I've got and its better than nothing. Youtube's Algorithm will help him further. Do you have a better strategy that you would suggest to him? Then lets hear it. I made my points, why should I try to convince you?
>>784965I already gave him my advice before. Anyway, good luck to him if he decides to start with Houdini. That's all from me.
The truth is that Houdini is a harsher filter than, say, Maya or Blender. If you start with Maya you'll certainly be able to finish viable projects quickly (single models, at a minimum); with Houdini it's not a sure thing. It works as a lower level and you may grow tired of how slow it is to finish things at the beginning. Of course, once you start going, you'll get more bang for your buck, but that comes with experience and a fair amount of work.I advise learning the basics first in a true and proven beginner-friendly environment, using Maya and one of the myriad courses available, and only then complement your skills with procedural tools. If you want, you can partition your learning 80-20 in favor of Maya with Houdini, just so you can progress at a good pace, while also being exposed to procedural methods.
>>784984This is accurate.
I have the option to get either or with x particles with cinema 4d r20.What would you guys choose?
none. Render with blender. Even flippednormals says they exclusively use it
>>784939okay blendlet
>>784939Blender is not a renderer
Can we get a fucking straight answer in here?
>>784975You'll be buying them since cracks don't exist.
