You can turn the subdivision off while you aren't using it assuming you haven't applied it. Or you can just hide the stuff you aren't working on. Either should help.

...whats the specs of your computer? blender tends to crash when the specs are to low for the task - strg+s, strg+s, let it become a refelx, then you are save when blender crashes and when computer is to slow, buy a new one or live with the limitations.

some tips.
>get an idea how much your machine can handle, verts, boolean cuts, textrues, shaders ... without crashing/gettin to slow to work smoothly with, then assign every item in your scene a fraction of this resources dependend on the importance
>use collections! every item should sit in its own
>use low sub-d levels, keep them active so you can adjust, more/less dependen on importance, enable smooth surface and autosmooth
>dont model the items in cartoon form, make them normal and use mesh deform modifiers for the distortion (rough mesh cage around the item, works like a lattice, but with more individual form) and/or rig them with bones.
>and last, build everything in advance, and place it afterwards

>Have to use subdivision
You really don't, unless your unsub'd models topology is shit and subdivision "kind of" unfucks it into proper shape.

I've got some text I want to engrave into something and usually I'd just do it with booleans. If I do it with a normal map instead will I be able to control the illusion of depth and things the same way I could if I used a boolean with actual depth? I don't really know much about maps. I usually just slap other peoples' on and call it a day.
I wanted to use substance for it because I finally got around to getting a copy, but my outdated OS won't let me install it.

>>932659
I have to ask my first "true amateur" question.
How does one go about modeling complex shapes like the chassis and track covers of pic attached?
I 've been doing box modeling / primitive modeling , and I always try and break up my references into understandable shapes.
But when I look at "un-even" topology or curved surfaces my brain can't do it and I get lost.

What would people here recommend ?
Tutorials on car modeling? Those tend to have a lot of fairly complex shapes?
Sculpting?

So this guy has a different approach.
I would be starting from a primitive then think how to setup my topology in such a way to extrude parts of it to match the shape, while he is creating extra shapes and then merges them, then figuring out how to merge the topo.

I might need to try that. Some time to practice welding meshes together and routing edge loops around.

With that kind of anatomy, lower resolution textures would probably help. Also don't get too worked up about how it looks in the viewport until you've set up some lighting with interesting colors and such, since a lot of life can come from that anyhow.

Need to paint in more diffuse, cause SSS kills a lot of surface detail and softens stuff out. You basically have to emphasize the face planes more, like makeup. If you squint at a face, the darkest points are the upper eyelid, nostrils and mouth line but yours are getting a bit lost cause of all the SSS, so you need to compensate with diffuse or knock down the strength at those bits

Tried to make it look a bit worn, but I think I went overboard and it looks a bit too plastic on top of that.
Got filtered by some things like the grip/ridges on the slide so I had to exclude it and some shapes on the slide stop and firemode and stuff. I think little details like the manufacturing stamp would have added some authenticity, but I can't install substance on my OS and it's too much of a fuck on doing it in Blender so I need to wait for things like that.
Hope that anon isn't around who kept bullying me into beveling because it was beveled at the time, and beveled since, but I couldn't get it to look right ;_;
All in all, I think if I stopped being so lazy and started putting more effort in I could improve quite a bit.

Fucking around with some lighting, accidentally stumbled upon a setup I like. For some reason I get some horrible artifacts in Cycles, but even without them I still think I'd like the Eeevee render more, it feels more suited to it due to the character being low poly and I like how it lits him in some areas, like those accents on the eyes, whereas in Cycles it doesn't. Overall lit portions are more defined in Eevee, you could say unrealistically abrupt, I don't like how the light "bleeds" in Cycles.

It took a lot of tinkering with the collider and cloth settings, but I managed to get away with putting a collider only on the inner cloth, baking it first, and then baking the second cloth around that existing collider for much faster computation (~3 minutes total for 280 frames on one thread with just under 4 GHz). Not to mention this is my best torso model yet.

and then we sail, she shows me where x marks the spot, her name shall be Lisa and she shows me were it is, the trove of treasure, she says to me, throw a dagger into the sky and close your eyes, where it lands be where the treasure is located, i throw and to my hearts content it lands on my heart, the treasure was located in my heart, and my hearts content intermingle with the map on the table and i love her.

I want all the furry characters ITT to get together and hug and kiss eachother.

>>934133
you can loosen up an animation loop by having more activety one different periods. Like you've got the pelvis dropping and the arms coming down in perfect synchronous. Give the arms a little sideways swing which is on a different frequency to the up dan down bobbing.
You could have the bobbing coming down on frame 12 and then back up on frame 24. To make a 1 second loop. If you had 48 frames of animation you could have a lateral arm swing which went all left on frame 24 and then all right at frame 48. So now you 1 second loop is a 2 second loop with more going on that doesnt line up perfectly. Makes it chaotic so it's harder to see it for what it is.

same anon again, i thikn looking at again the tail needs more of a 'whipping" feel to it. i don't know if that helps, it needs to react more like a softened whip or something.
not to suggest that isn't what's already there but that imo you should accentuate.

>>934157
yeah rn the tail looks like only the base is moving and the rest of the tail is just a limp tentacle. Tails are alive all the way to the tip.

There are a lot of tricks you can do for animation, I specifically wanted to do this to make a VRC model though, so it would be up to some Unity shader work. There's potentially a thing I could do where I put three mouths on and cull the ones that the camera is at too steep an angle for but I haven't tried it yet. It's workable anyhow, I just don't really like the overall look, I think my usual process relies too much on sculpting around the eyes for whatever style I have to translate.

>>934193
Not a bad job, honestly. You've got the style down, at least.

>>934266
As I understand it VRchat has a lot of restrictions on your model. Unity it completely capable of importing shapes and you could script them to work like corrective shapes if you had enough control, but idk what vrc lets you do.

I don't know if it is possible to do in VRChat but in one of the design docs it was stated that the "Tails" should always form a shape that would make a perfect circle if you copied them around the head. So pivoting them to the center of the head, making that center face the camera at all times on restricted few axes, and making the tails face the camera at all times too would work great i think.
Also the head in >>934198 must be more circular. It should form a circle from the front and would form a circle and a quarter slice of a different circle at an angle. Right now yours looks too squished and wrong.
>>934197

How do I achieve this in Blender?

>>934579
You can only do that quickly by remeshing (google "blender voxel remesh"), but that destroys topology and vertex data if you have any, so it's only useful for sculpting. Otherwise you'll have to manually delete the polygons and weld the vertices together. You can leave it as it is in some cases, going autistic about intersecting meshes and watertight-ness is bad practice unless you're working on a model for 3d printing.

>>934579
The way I would do it is turn on vertex snapping, snap the vertices together, and then merge by distance.

yea the lighting will have a huge role but I havent really started it yet.

for the trees on the left, assuming you mean the one really in front of the camera I just put it there to remind myself of it, I'll try to have it only show as a slightly blurry silhouette (or removing it if it looks like shit)

also my assets placement is wrong compared to the original artwork, i think the fact that the floor on the manor part is pretty visible at the bottom (where in the original one it kinda melt into the blue light) contribute to the planes not being defined, but yea it was also the comments some other anon made last time i posted it (maybe u ?) I think ill work on it during the lighting phase

i love a good elongated female torso, don't change it.

>>935049
I use references to get the general blockout and then go from memory because I'm too retarded to bother looking for good reference that aren't porn.
It's also why it takes me a couple of hours of work to actually get to this stage, it's a constant trial and error of what looks correct to my coomer brain.
I'd love to get to a point where I can blockout the body based on muscles alone, it would save me so much time.
I also get very filtered by shoulders and limbs including hands and feet very often. I haven't sculpted a single decent looking hand or foot.

That ribcage doesn't look like a bunch of bones, but rather a pair of large muscles covering her torso. That, the weird collar bones, and the other various anatomy mistakes make me think that torso elongation was done on accident, and that you generally. don't know what you're doing. You should scrap that sculpt and study anatomy before you try to make something stylized like that. You need to learn the rules before you're allowed to break them.

This reminds me of those full page ads you used to see in gaming magazines.

Thank you, that's really nice to hear.

You would be correct in saying I'm clueless, because I am. I really do need to study anatomy.
As I said, I'm still fairly new to sculpting and it's just a trial and error of my coomer brain going ah this looks alright along with figuring out sculpting tools.
Also figuring out the subtlety of where muscle or bone is more prevalent is obviously something I have to work on but that'll come with anatomical knowledge.

With vertex snapping is it possible to do it at an angle?
With my pic it's like the orange dot is the vert I'm moving and the black dot is the vert it's snapping to. So snapping on the X is the first one, snapping to Z is the second, but how could you achieve the third where you would be snapping at an angle? Can you even do it?

>>935220
I've no idea about other software but in blender you can create a custom orientation and use that for determining where xyz point to. The easiest way would be to create a face at the angle you want, then just select the face, press the orientation menu (global is the default so the field that usually says "global"), press the little plus sign, optionally name it and then actually select it. That way when you try to snap along a single axis or a plane, you'll use those directions.
I also remember a plugin which let you create orientations by snapping the 3d cursor on geometry, you can try to look for it if you want a faster way I guess.

>>935223
Thanks a lot chief. I'll give that a shot and if I can't get it to work right I'll see if I can find that plugin you mention.

There is no meaningful difference as far as modeling is concerned. T-pose only exists to sync up a model with an actor doing motion capture before and after the act. In practice, nothing is stopping you from using either to make your character. It just comes down to whether you want easier access to the armpits or a character on a slightly more relaxed-looking pose.

Made a first pass on the hair, did some folds and refined a thing or two, also added >>935072 hip bones because it turned out nicely, thanks for the tip anon.

My first try at blender was something like 8 years ago when i was around 12, there's been a few phases where I was in and then out but i've been taking 3d seriously as future job perspective for about 3 years now but only 1 year of actual tryhard sculpting watching every bilibili zbrush video and taking notes on most of artstation's asiaposting

T-pose messes up the deltoid and moves the scapula and trapezius so it really isn't as neutral as the A-pose, where every muscle groups are a lot more relaxed, so trying to scuplt a neutral body in T-Pose is just wrong on an anatomical standpoint, although T-pose could be easier to rig. So I'd say A-pose good, T-pose for shitposting

Very nice anon. Is it going to be for 3D printing?

Nope, i'm gonna try to make it look as a cinematic character model (the hair will be turned into xgen curves), mainly for portfolio purposes. Idk how to make printable models but I might try to get to it if I have some spare time left when I'm finished
