the vfx industry is infamous for severely underestimating the time and budget requirements of projects so that they can get lucrative contracts and then making their workers toil 16h/day for pennies to keep their unrealistic promises. fuck them and fuck you for siding with the garbage bosses.

not always, if youre coping from real life materials you wont need anything, also if you are doing lighting on your renders you probably just color some lights, but when doing stylized stuff you will need to learn about color theory, also if you ever want to present your stuff in other then the gray background from my/zb/3c your probably use your color theory knowledge to look dev your shit.

You are really overrating those things OP, you just need to make good art. There are people on /3/ who spend all this time studying everything on your list, and they will still never get a job because they don't have an art style that anyone wants.

>>752332
What I'm saying is that knowledge doesn't get you a job. It really doesn't. They just look at your portfolio and see if your work looks good enough for their project. Countless animators who know nothing about any of those things you mention that are working at big companies, and they are considered professionals. Meanwhile some LARPer on /3/ who spends all his time studying is getting 0 offers

In 3d "having your arstyle" is not that much of athing as iit is in 2d. In 95% of the times, the client will come with his own concept art and will already have a style in mind for what you have to do. Being a good 3d artist often boils down to reproducing and translating 2d to 3d and that's about it.

this is sort of a fallacy, its not about having a great artstyle, its about having the skills to translate the 2d concept to a 3d production ready model, if you want to be an instagram artist then try for an individual art style that stands apart, but if you want to get an industry job, study to translate concepts into a 3d medium.

>Capitalism is the only reason those gadgets and gizmos have been created in the first place.
nonsense. everything that makes something like your smartphone work and be actually useful, ie the screen, the battery, the gps, the internet etc has been originally developed through state-funded rnd projects for military use, outside the free market. capitalist innovation is limited to the manipulative advertising and sale of technologies invented elsewhere. you're all excited about "competition" without considering what these companies are actually competing to do: namely, to fuck you the deepest up the ass. that's why the development of consumer electronics is always moving not towards the highest possible quality, but the lowest quality the customers are still willing to accept, and the bar of acceptability is always getting lowered. enjoy a world of trash.

case in point: if you want a graphics tablet you can choose wacom, which is awful, or an even worse ripoff of a wacom. vote with your wallet which flavor of shit you want. what dazzling consumer choice! ten years from now wacom will have a subscription model where you rent a unit and get charged per stroke and you'll still whiteknight capitalist greed like the useful idiot you are.

>>751821
wacom and tablets in general can easily last for up to 10-15 years or more, there's literally nothing to break and once you scratch out that shitty nib eater surface through daily use(I double down it as mousepad so it's even faster) it becomes smooth and no longer eats nibs
it's just simple consumable based sales strategy and one that fails at that desu; we should be glad they don't take notes from printer companies

Didn't they use a custom program just for one scene where there wasn't an outline?

>>751672
pretty sure they did full groom, but that's the only scene that needed serious simulation (tyflow), beyond a bit of wind. Better to have too much info than too little. Plus it's not hard to bake cards from a groom, though I'm sure they have the horsepower to render full groom with simple toon shaders. The "cartooness" is just in the clumping and lack of frizz and strays probably.

does anyone have a good start to finish tutorial for zbrush hair? specifically interested in sculptural hair because i'm interested in making things for printing, and i'd prefer a more classical sculptural style rather than the super blocky disney hair which all the tutorials seem targetted towards.

>>751187
I think it's not about the model not being a furry or being a walking pair of boobs, but the poor choice of making the world an uglier place rather than a more aesthetic one.

blender will have a texturing overhaul after the vertex paint and they are working in an assets manager too, now you can buy mask tools
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eitnJyEmDE

>>751572
Yes, but generally not as quickly and it doesn't have the material library that substance painter does.
Weigh how often you need to really edit textures manually against the amount of time it would take you move everything into another program to edit and then move everything back.
Also consider price.

I generally don't think it's worth it but then with what I'm doing I'm satisfied with less impressive textures because of the sheer volume of the shit I have to make for game dev.

Substance painter, without access to all the fancy materials and stuff is fairly limited.
And for that they want a monthly tribute.

I hope you make the tutorial, cause I'm going to do the ortho tracing trap. Do you not use any reference at all? When you use a reference, do you just have the image on the side? I am really curious if you're modeling without a reference or if you're just able to visualize the whole thing from a glance.

you don't use reference to literally copy it haha you use it to find nice silhouette and relative relationships between parts which would work together nicely

>>751498
>When I have some time I will make an image tutorial explaining why you should not fall into the ortho tracing trap if you wanna learn how to model characters.

Pretty much the whole industry started out tracing ortho model sheets, and did so for about 10 years, so I don't know why you would direct someone so obviously new to 3D away from one of the simplest, proven methods of modelling characters that have already been designed.

The only 'trap' to fall into is allowing yourself to become dependent on it and not pushing yourself to be able model without it, or with references that are not orthographic, but OP is very obviously a total newcomer, so there's really no reason for him not to start off with it.

>>751502
>you don't use reference to literally copy it

You use a reference for whatever it's suitable for.

>>751499
>>751415
(assuming you're the same posters, not that it matters)

Generally speaking there's two ways to model something: From the ground up via a process of starting with very low detail and then adding detail via individual verts called "Box Modeling" or from high detail and then "baking" those details onto a lower detail model via a process called "Sculpting"

Creating your own reference images (called a "Turnaround", "Reference sheet", or "Character sheet" ) from the models is a great easy way to create very precise side view, front view, back view (top view / bottom view) images without having to do a lot of work to edit something made in 2D that may not perfectly line up or may have a pose.

As for some shit about "don't use references, you have to create it from your own mind!" that's pure shit.
The entire job of an artist in most production settings is to take someone else's concept art and turn it into a 3d version of the 2d, with only as much "creativity" needed to fill in the missing information from the 2D.
The more references you have, for anything, the more grounded and "correct" looking something will be to the viewer even if portions of it are stylized.
And I say portions because stylization is a slider, even if a clock or something is exaggerated it's probably not going to be full on impressionist melting clock; that's stylized dialed to 11.
In fact I just watched a video put out by a former Dreamworks animator now working for Pixar where he said one of his big regrets is letting someone tell him as a student not to use references, the end result being it slowed down his output tremendously.

Finally, if you make refs of the model and the do your own model from those you can then also check the topology or construction of the model once you've box model or sculpted your own version.

No. I'm coming from drawing and I realized there are a shit ton of anatomic geometry blindspots I never fully understood.

This.

Sculpting is useless. Learn to model.

>>747581
drawing is only useful because alot of the fundamentals overlap but if you just want to improve at sculpting practice your sculpting techniques, construction, proportion, anatomy , gesture if you are planning to pose your models, clothes whether you are going to sculpt them in zbrush or use marvelous designer ect.

It's not useless, but I agree.

>Dunning Kruger
Imbecile!

>>746673
The users of this website are stereotypical 'Dunning Kruger' tho because it's a trend that is global to the population at large.
It just comes out extraordinary clear in endeavors like this because the disconnect between spoken words and performance becomes so clear when we're doing visual arts.

The 'peak Dunning Krugers' are also very common here since the people that yap the loudest and are most sure of themselves are exactly the people at the
very peak of the 'overconfidence+noskill' part of the bellcurve. They broadcast misunderstood truths loudly and proudly on high volume.
They do not hesitate to post or ridicule detractors because they know they're right and to them it's real.

Meanwhile the peak of the expert 'Dunning Krugers' are silent because they know it's not that easy and expressing the actual reality takes time to articulate and
ends up wordy and time-consuming, and they're unsure they got it exactly right so they can't post as frequent and they also hesitate to post.

Especially for a ephemeral media like this where everything is broadcasted at the same volume you're gonna hear mainly from the noskill+overconfidence crowd.
valuable contributions here are largely drowned out by the so called 'Dunning Krugers' meaning the fake expertise that are unaware of how they're not the real thing.

They used 3d models as reference and paint over, I suppose to test the new 2d animation workflow? some shots looks like shit, mostly because the interpolation but also the composition is bad, and others looks fine, blender need a vector render.

Is Substance really that bad for traditional hand-painted texturing?

>>750975
it's really clunky for it. substance is focused on procedural materials, and adding rust to metal

you primarily work with masks. To paint on a red stroke, you'll make a red fill layer, completely mask it, and then erase where you want that red stroke

the workflow is meant to be the fill layer is a procedural rust material, you unmask the area using an AO or cavity map, and then you got a fire hydrant with the corners worn away to reveal the rust beneath.

It's the chance you take and the reason you should have a dedicated computer or partition or alternate OS or virtual machine to run it on

AFAIK viruses don't exist on Linux and neither does DRM both because the user has such a high degree of control over their OS (for better and for worse)
