Well, i want the models from this link but the web has fallen, so put link to the web in case lf using Wayback Machine:https://blendswap.com/blends/view/86224So, i wanna get the models.
The name of the archive i want is Bronze & Iron Age Unit Pack
>>981316>>981317Yeah
Just my luck ffs finally have a week of free time to try to learn something and it's gone.Not saying I'm lost without it but it would help.
>>980938that result is horrible

how can i recreate 90s style 3d renders in modern blender? i know i could just learn bryce3d but i don't want to. ive heard eevee has phong shading but i can't find it.
>>978840this.old cg doesnt gives a fuck about correct gamma calculation. also its the reason why constant ambient light is needed to "correct" the midtones.
>>978843It's even easier than messing around in Compositor. Literally just setting the View Transform in the Color Management to "Raw" will do it. You don't even need to re-render, either, since tonemappers themselves use Raw data when they adjust colors.It really is amazing how effective tonemapping is at selling compelling lighting. I've only been dabbling in 3D for the past week or so but I've been doing color-managed digital art for a while, now, and it's just as effective there as it is here, while allowing for comparatively simple Multiplicative shading setups, now unlike that of a deferred lighting engine.

So....that big AI image or video to 3d mesh never materialized, did it? Its mid april. We should all be free of modelling by now. All this big AI talk, but nothing delivered. No image to model, no video to model, no ai texure, no ai uv, and github copilot stinks on ice.

>>981047What is that, Cris? Some hexing formula?
>>981059It's somekind of redditor handshake I think
There's this project that applies the ideas of noise/diffusion based image generation, like stable diffusion and combines it with gaussian splatting. The results are pretty good for what is essentially first gen. It even has browser based demo. https://gsgen3d.github.io/ if you can use this to generate a mesh, you could then use another program to retopo, and use image based ai to generate extra maps, or change texture styles.It wouldn't surprise me if some dev starts using this kind of workflow for background assets in the next 5 or so years. Especially with nanite allowing unnecessary details. Things like the fruits in a fruit stand in the next elder scrolls game, which is probably still run a gamebryo derivative...
AI will temporarily die the moment someone wins a trademark case. AI will have to be retrained with data that is not trademarked eventually
i heard about CGPeers from people, but is it any good? should I buy it? there's this one guy selling it but he couldn't tell me much about the website, he just told me he sells the accounts or invites or whatever..https://cgpeering.mysellix.io/product/63d3dac6543dd this is the website, is it the right one to get CGPeers? and If I get it, do i have to maintain my ratio ? thanks a lot guys
>>977193Shit. Doesn't worth it.You can find most of the torrents in rutracker or telegram channels.
>>981157Post the telegram channels
I'm trying to rip fortnite models I can put it into blender because I want to make some funny shit. There's this dude that runs a discord where he has a fortnite ripper program but I don't know if I trust that shit. Sorry for the dumb question, it's just everything I tried looking up just sends me to this guy's discord to download his shit. Does anyone happen to know if it's safe?
>>972934>Download file named "Virus...">It's a viruswtf
>>972935No, Virustotal is a website that checks and sees if something is malicious by running it through multiple anti-virus. The file I checked was FortnitePorter
>>972936Sorry, speedread the thread. Pretty sure Deviant Art has Fortnite models if you can get the XPS importer.
>>972894>I want to make some funny shitYou're not foolijg anyone, you mean porn
>>972894get them from smutbase

>>973111more importantly, explain what "SOUL" is
>>972287Didn’t this guy make some FNAF fart videos?
new video just came out,
Check out the /unfiction/ general discussion on /trash/ if you'd like to know more.
>>972441>>973111>what is soul / forced soul?The idea of art being soul comes from the word soul-less. The phrase soul-less illustrates a sense of creative bankruptcy. Tons of cooperate work is considered soul-less because it lacks a truly unique creative identity. The opposite is true for works with soul, it's a complement to the artists resilience in contrast to the rest of the industry. The amount of "soul" a work has relates to just how distinctively it presents it's creative vision. So where does "mildly forced" come in? Well some work is unique and creative for the sake of fun, while other's try to force a narrative for popularity or money. It's similar to saying an artist is a sell out, in which case the quality of their work is commercialized for the benefit of a larger system.>>972319Agreed, props to the artist, you can tell they have a lot of passion.
Plasticity surprisely hasn't been cracked neither has Fusion 360, Says alot about their product.
>>981127lol
>>981128>>9811311.4.13 on cgpeers is fine and it's not even from cgpeers or persia forums
>>981140It's a virus.
>>981141nah. but you do you.
It most definitely has a crack, but why would you?It's only $150 for a perpetual license with 12 months of updates, an absolute steal for such great software that doesnt nickel and dime you with subscription bullshit.
Welcome to our thread dedicated to honing your topology skills in 3D art! Whether you're a seasoned artist or just starting out, mastering topology is crucial for creating clean and efficient 3D models. In this thread, we'll share and discuss various exercises aimed at improving your understanding and application of topology.
New to 3D and trying to learn to sculpt (owned a tablet and it seemed really cool) is there a general warm up/practice I can do? Or should I just model heads for awhile until I find a project to chip away at? I know learning different discipline is bad for growth, but is there anything like that for hard surface?
God, hard surface stuff is so satisfying. I fucking love adding support loops and watching it all come together.
>>981024It's like one big puzzle coming together.

>>9652564chan not archiving only inconveniences people who shouldn't be here.
>>965045The most ironic thing about their whole temper tantrum is that most of the people they claim would "take advantage" of them were arguably some of the best ways to bring obscure game formats into the limelight.Although, xentax will be probably remembered for a long time to come. Not for the wealth of information it once held, since that's long gone. But because it was a forum that had so many resources archived by what the major users of the forum would call "digital pirates". Most of whom never bothered documenting the original creators of the tools largely because there was no time to do so it seems. And the xentax discord server itself may one day be seen as a poor man's imitation of a digital archive.
>>966617>What exactly on a forum needs to be maintained besides paying for hosting and the domain?The hosting itself is dirt cheap. A legible domain name is max 20$/year if you don't use a meme TLD or one of the scammy "promo" domains. The VPS itself can be very cheap as long as it got decent I/O. €5/month should be plenty as long as the forum software itself isn't garbage.To keep it secure, just keep off as much bloat off the server as you can, have a crontab entry to keep the TLS cert up to date and it'll be good for pretty much forever without needing to touch it. Best to subscribe to the security mailing list of whatever distro you use just in case you really need to update.Biggest issue is spam. Especially pizza spam.Pizza spam is so persistent and obviously unprofitable it's almost certainly something trying to take down smaller websites.And god forbid if you leave up pizza spam just a little too long.t. selfhost website, mailserver and occasionally something else. My website used to have a comment system but it only ever got spam, thankfully no pizza spam but I know other admins struggle with it.
>>979709>€5/month should be plenty as long as the forum software itself isn't garbage.I'm generalizing too much here.If you host a lot of images, let alone videos, then storage costs will go up a lot obviously.
>>979710https://web.archive.org/web/20231018210758/https://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?t=26759&start=15According to this archived page from the forum, money wasn't the issue. It was time. Because, as Mr.Mouse put it "The biggest problem is the cost of time. Time costs a lot of money and energy. That cost is not reimbursed.". Granted, saying that and then shutting down the forums comes across as pretty hypocritical considering that action, alongside stopping archival efforts of the website, wasted the time of everyone who ever took part in the forums, regardless of their intentions.
Another blog post of a guy hoping to make it.for reference i never complete any projects cause I'm lazy and I lack discipline, also because I have a day job.Let's see if I can finish this time, goal is to finish a base mesh with game res and textures, as well as eyes and hair cards.Also, please feel free to destroy me, I value your opinions.
>>980943Those 2 things are not mutually exclusive, who says having a job is a requirement for someone to be able to do whatever they want with their time?I admit I have been a wagie for most of my adult life and if anything I feel stupid for not throwing it all away to focus on something I actually enjoy. There is no "start to finish" to wagecuckery, it goes on for as long as you let it.

>>981647What would be wrong with making stairs their own thing? I don't know. Just guessing.I figured a concern may be light bleeding through, but it appears not bleed, as long as the stairs and wall are flush.
>>981681What would be the best way to make sure the two separate meshes are completely flush?
>>981330Where by the noodles did on the left?Empty bowl?
>>981691I don't know about the "best" way. There are a few ways. This is one of them, and probably the best solution for your case:First, go up to the pivot point menu, and select 3D cursorSelect the face of the wall.(and only the face, make sure nothing else is selected)Move the 3D cursor to the face.(shift+S > cursor to selected)Clear selection.(alt+A)Select all the vertices you want to be flush with the wall. This is up to your discretion.Now here's where it gets fucky: you probably want to move the vertices with G. But in fact, you want to scale them to do this properly. So press SYou should notice that the points you selected are all converging to the 3D cursor. But you're going to tell them to only move along 1 axis. So press either X, Y, or Z. Now the points should be moving mostly independently. Not all converging to the cursor. Their movement will still pretty random until you do one last thing: press the number 0. They should all snap evenly to the cursor. And because the cursor is set to the face, they should all be snapped to the face as well. If they're not snapped to the face, then don't worry, you probably just selected the wrong axis. So press either Y, Z, or X until it snaps properly.There are also snapping methods. So look into snapping too.
>>981702Thanks anon, I'll try these out
Thoughts? Assuming the subscription costs don't matter.
>>980279yes
>>969357Maya nodes have been around for like 28 years and it still took me 2 hours to create a procedural honeycomb pattern with uniquely colored tiles.This shit in geometry nodes would take about 10 minutes max in Blender, and even be slightly more flexible.For the last 4 years they added nothing substantial to Maya.
>>981033isn't stuff like this done with the new bifrost graph they've been working on for the last couple of years?i don't use maya these days, but it's what i started on. i still got love for those marking menus.
>>981040It's a single shader. It's not an array of geometry.
