are there tools or software that helps make animation looks "corrrect"?things like sakuga and hyperrealism animation, are they simulated, or calculated to look good?do you have tools or techniques to help make it all solid? AI? plugin?
>>804122Am I the only one who think the principle of "anticipation" and "follow thru" looks completely retorted when they're applied for combat animations?Study anyone who actually knows how to fight move and you notice how they all strive to do the complete opposite. Direct non-telegraphed motion, controlled short arcs to quickly zero back and reset.
>>804150It's a principle, not a rule. It being a principle means you can ignore it to make a point, like a jab giving no warning, or use it to make a different point, like a haymaker with a big windup. They behave more like a spectrum than something you just do for everything.
>>803776There's no shortcut, just a fuckton of work and knowing your target. Realistic stuff is usually heavily referenced from footage.
>>804050sakuga is a meme. it originally refers to animating blindly forward, without drawing keys and tweens. resulting in very free but slightly wonky animations that some people like the aesthetic of. It definitely doesn't come as a product of careful arc/CoM/interpolation curve tweaking in modern CG animation, unless you are trying to emulate the look for whatever reason.
>>804150>>804154Not that anon, but to add to this, because it's not a rule, if it's not used in a place on purpose, it can make something seem that much more impactful when used sparingly.To use that anon's example, a quick jab with anticipation and follow through will seem much more "natural", but if you wanted it to be completely unexpected and almost supernatural, you could eliminate the anticipation/follow through and it would take on a different feel.A big point about the principles is to understand them. So you know where they work, but also where to ignore them to have a stronger emotional impact compared to if you had used them.
blender fag here, need a little helpwhy it says blender is using cpu when rendering when i choose gpu
>>803988https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/render/cycles/gpu_rendering.html>>802356Why does a scene that renders on the CPU not render on the GPU?There maybe be multiple causes, but the most common one is that there is not enough memory on your graphics card. Typically, the GPU can only use the amount of memory that is on the GPU (see below for more information). This is usually much smaller than the amount of system memory the CPU can access. With CUDA and OptiX devices, if the GPU memory is full Blender will automatically try to use system memory. This has a performance impact, but will usually still result in a faster render than using CPU rendering. This feature does not work for OpenCL rendering.>Don't be a retard.
>>801320FYI uncheck ur cpu in CUDA. you want to render on GPU only, using CPU as well will slow it down
>>804004It will use CPU only when GPU memory won't be enough. I don't see any difference when i bake textures...
>>804012I experience a huge time increase when using my cpu with my gpu. Maybe it's a per-pc basis wether or not it should be used. I've not looked into it enough
>>803988try to upgrade driver first.
...can bring me problems tomorrow? I dont have enough money to buy Zbrush or Substance Painter, and it seems like Zbrush is the best tool for 3D modeling. What usually the people say is to git gud with cracked versions first and then purchase a license for works, but I read that they can ask for the license you are using, even if your sculpts are for non-commercial use
>>803542Yes, thats the idea...
>>803517Pirate, but state that you have a trial or student edition.
>>803618This. Pirate now, use it, learn it, make some models, register for the trial license and then upload your portfolio.Safest way if you're super paranoid.The reality is nobody will give a fuck.
>>803542>I use your expensive shit software when im at my friends house, he owns all your bloatware, I have blender installed only, gimme the fucking job or i'll fucking kick your asse
no one gives a shit if you pirate software, dude. it's an open secret that everyone does it.

MONEY are you making them how muchi
>>804198link plz like to seewont judge
>>804206nah, i really shouldnt. being on 4chan sounds bad enough for me to probably lose a lot of traction. also, if im bragging about money, id prefer it to stay anonymous. i can say that my channel is rhythm game related though.
>>804212man i really im curious now
>>804112Make good quality mobile game assets and sell them for cheap. You would be surprised how many hobbyists buy them while following game dev tutorials.
>>804239ill try that
>just use Instant Meshes bro, it's life saving!these individuals deserve life in jail.
>>803405>high-poly meshes>blenderlul
>>803405Quad Remesher is one that works in Blender, Instant Meshes is a viable free alternative that is more useful for photogrammetry than anything else.If you're having problems, remember than autoretopo tools go from high-to-low topo and not the other way around, they're not a silver bullet. If you have angular, low-poly surfaces that you want to be curved, apply sub-d first.
>>803569>Quad Remesherwatched a few videos and it seemed the best, but the one I could get didnt work on latest blender>Instant Meshes is a viable free alternative that is more useful for photogrammetryyeahthanks anon
>>802486imagine wanting to kill someone because you can't retopologise
>>804117>jail is the same as death penaltyalso>not understanding basic concepts as sarcasmlol wat
Anyone plans to get into this kind of thing? I've heard about it once when somebody made a thread about Beeple, but I didn't bother about finding out what actually IS it.However, I just watched this video and now I'm interested:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDKwS9dljmEI think I'm not wrong when I say most of us 3D artists probably haven't thought a lot about selling actual renders / prints, since most 3D jobs are just content production for soulless companies. And that made me think about the content we usually produce, props, weapons, vehicles, characters, environments - that's usually something that wouldn't be interesting to put on a wall. Imagine spending so much time on your "art" and then realizing an average joe wouldn't even care to look at it. We only care about showcasing our skills to other 3D artists and employers. It makes it even more obvious we're just production monkeys and not real artists.So even if I wanted to sell some of my stuff, nobody would probably care about environments I made, and I would need to change the style and content of my work. But still, I'm interested if some good money could potentially be made with this. It would for sure beat working in teh indoostree.Anyway, your thoughts on crypto art?
>>803885you need a following in order to make money from crypto artand crypto art is polluting the planet at an alarming rate as well but artist don't give a fuck about the environment
>>803914Not him, but by that logic, if I use YouTube to promote my content , then I'm playing inside google loop right ? Same applies to PayPal or wathever payment method I choose right ?So, in the end in order to be free of any loop, you have to reinvent the wheel ??
>>804172>Create a digital art piece>Delete all project files>Print 1 or 2 copies>Delete the digital version>Physicals prints are only versions in existence>???>Profit?
>>804177Yes, that is correct. I would say that a few paragraphs is just not enough to go into a serious answer about what power is and how you can manifest it through 3D. The end result is that I write paragraphs of fart huffing, but it's still not valid enough to really explain the true positions I hold. All my posts are lame approximated hyperboles and sometimes poorly defined due to that. A lot of logic gaps that I'm hoping anon's forgive and bridge. Doesn't always happen.The end goal that you need to accept is that there are cycles/loops everywhere, and you need to choose which ones will give you the most exponential. I am sure you will be able to make money off crypto art if you were truly gifted and really tried. But the same could be said at a much higher, more wide returning net if you just pursued creating your own system of systems, loop of loops. The end goal of this loop OP brings up is to inflate and raise the price of their crypto startup. Even if it's just social capital gained the artist is not whose best interests are held close to the creator's heart, that would be naive. You may have to use Paypal, Steam, Epic, (loops). It's inevitable in this way of current institutional infrastructure that the internet's economy operates on. I would argue however that these systems are so well established and relatively open ended enough that it doesn't really matter if they make a profit off you in the short term. That doesn't really justify your questions though, so maybe like this instead:Create your own loops inside someone else's greater loop(s) that are open ended enough that it is basically your own. Crypto art utilizes platforms just like Paypal and Steam would have, yes. But it is so tiny and niche that you are likely to never see eight figure amounts, let alone nine. Measure the exponentials and pursue that. People become lawyers for this very reason: the exponential is much higher than an average job.A nation is a loop*. *see initial post
>>804184Why don't you structure your thoughts into a series of articles so that you're not limited by the paragraphs you post here ?It could be the beginning of a system of yours , don't you think ?I would be interested for sure. Also thank you for coming with the loop word . i t is a concept I already thought about, but never put into action
ITT: We share free marvelous designer zpac garments I have been downloading all the free ones and run out, I need more, basic stuff is good too. if anyone has a hdd full of garments please shareTo start... here is a link to literally free professional garments https://shop.atacac.com/collections/sharewearI really need good basic stuff like bikinis, underwear, dresses etc, why isn't this software more popular its amazing and easy to use.
>>800736>sculptingthere is literally no need with MD, just run the simulation and all of the details are created by pressing play. there is no longer a need to manually add creases with a brush3ds max simulation is literal garbage compared to MD, in the first instance it barely works at allthen you dont have the fabrics/sewing etc
>>800834>>800745While I understand what you're saying, the hyper-realistic results that marvelous simulation can achieve isn't necessarily better for games and animation. Maybe for VFX, but even then I can imagine many situations where more control of the fabric folds would be desirable.Realistic wrinkles often do not look appealing, and clothing generated in MD is often required to be retouched in other modeling packages to look better. That being said, it does provide satisfactory results. >>800742That is pretty good!

Anyone else here a big fan of lowpoly retro style models? Any of you made some of your own yet?
>>804089sorry anon, thems the breaks
>>804013What do you use for texture painting?
>>804013big booba
>>804095>What do you use for texture painting?Those are all just a combination of blender and whatever 2D image editor I felt like launching at the time. In my case it was Clip Studio Paint or Photoshop, krita, or even a piece of shit like gimp would also be fine. .The Pyramid head model is the only one where I could have meaningfully benefitted from better tools. The result would have been more or less identical, but it might have taken me maybe 10% less time to achieve it.The model on the bottom right is all barely textured at all - only the eyes are a texture, a single 32x32 png drawn in blender, despite the fact that blender's paint tool is shit and literally incapable of drawing a single pixel stroke. All other colors on the model are vertex colors.I particularly enjoy suffering, so I didn't even use https://github.com/samytichadou/Auto_Reload_Blender_addon and instead reloaded my texture manually every time.I have no idea why I am still doing that.
>>804013Based, Low poly coom game when?
So I got this guy who contacted me to re-UV a video game model for him. Pic Related.Is this anywhere close to fixable?
>>803933it's MAJOR pain in the butt to match UV and existing texture.if you value your sanity don't even bother starting. I'm dead serious you'll hate yourself and your life. I did it and this is experience I don't want to repeat.(ended up doing proper UV from scratch and projecting parts of old texture on new UV in painter as base then doing them from scratch because >low resolution)
no
do you guys not know that blender can project the texture onto the new UVs? seems like it would work since there's going to be no geometry changes and its the best you can do if that's what the client expects
>>803933It's fixable, but it's so time consuming I hope you are getting paid
>>803933i can fix it for 50$
>get an idea>should be pretty simple>open up blender>quickly realize there's no easy way to do idea>search it up, surely there must be a node or plugin or something>only 3 people have tried this idea>they're all either extremely tedious, not useful solutions or require 20 years of experience to executeWHY THE FUCK DOESN'T BLENDER HAVE RENDER LAYERS HOLY SHITYOU CAN LOOK AT ARMATURES ON TOP OF EVERYTHING IN THE VIEWPORT BUT YOU CAN'T DO THAT FOR OBJECTS? YOU GOTTA BE FUCKING KIDDING ME
>>803937it does though. are you googling the correct things anon?
>>803937It's just a kiddie program, anon.
>>803937I'm sure it is better with a version above 2.8
>>803937>YOU CAN LOOK AT ARMATURES ON TOP OF EVERYTHING IN THE VIEWPORT BUT YOU CAN'T DO THAT FOR OBJECTS?you can, and I use that all the time for retopo

>>803876the cloth is super basic compared with the new shit that Pablo has been doing, you could add the pose tools for sculpt mode too, it doesn't have a rig/pose section, only the Expression Testing, and ofc no animation section, they have the animation fundamentals as course too but it is really basic.
>>803715Nice shading. I'm having trouble identifying that as 3d art. Who's the author?
>>803932It's the unreal engine 5 demo from a while back

3DS MAX is fucking trashLong ass fucking loadingAncient codesThe UI is horrendous, it makes me want to kill myself, imagine looking at it full time job lmaoEverything is SO unresponsive, literally everything i do in the program has a small delay that ticks the fuck out of me. At least in Maya and Blender i feel like im in control. Hell, even Modo is more responsive.Program crashes half the time for stupid reasons. 3DS 2020 looks like something from 2012Its an overrated trash
>>802310This. Max is pretty embedded in big swaths of games, and even more so with energy and other fields that use Max for training and marketing materials.
>>798116Holy fuck yeah, 3DSM deleted my last-saved and reverted my shit to the first save iteration. AND THE LATEST VERSION IS STILL ON THE AUTOSAVE. Holy fuck I almost lost my school work because of this.
>>803979>3DSM deleted my last-savedSounds like user error.
>>803979Sounds like a user skill problem.
2008 3Dmax is better
