I'm dying inside little by little. I hate any past colleagues who finds work. We're all clawing and scratching for scraps. Keep this shit a hobby, don't try and go pro.
So I wanted to get an array that has a offset for example every repeated part is -5 of the original distance.
This is impossible to get in the array modifier (despite the devs being retarded for not including it)
So lets see how I can do this in geometry nodes.
Repeat something node yes???
WTF? What is this shit.
Youtube search.
LOOOK AT THIS GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqXYApfJuPk
Why the FUCK! Are there 2 extra nodes?!
WHY THE FUCK!!!! Can this crap not simple repeat an object?!!!!
Why the fuck do they keep changing this crap all the time!?
When will they finally come up with a non retarded geometry nodes solution.
The next 4 upcoming years, i will spend every single day in the production for the pilot-episode of a new Berserk adaptation.
>Narrative - 100 % faithful to the Manga
>Art Style - inspired by Netflix Arcane (pic related)
Without any doubt: this project is a Behemoth, but i am dead serious about the production.
Truth to be told, i am lacking experience, which is why i created this thread in the first place.
I would like to know your opinion on certain topics - Roughly spoken about project-management, planing and execution.
I am not asking for direct involvement in the project - at least not until i proved myself with regular updates and progress that i am the real deal.
I tried the (newly updated) particle simulation in C4D to try to create a body of liquid and also tried xParticles but both runs like shit on my M1 MacBook. I tried my best to optimize the simulations following multiple tutorials online but I cant get semirealistic results.
Now that I am thinking about it I might be vastly overcomplicating things since I basically just need to raise the product from a plane that somewhat sticks to the object.
Does anyone have an idea for a method I could use to achieve the effect in a much simpler way? I must be missing something.

Missing features and lacks artistic improvement to match with Unreal and Unity
>Blender
All marketing PR talk, no real experience in using Blender. Knows nothing about the real reason.
>Open source
Open source projects doing dumb things like glTF animation implementation, dead software, not documenting important stuff, heavy relaying on Blender instead of other 3D software
>Unity and Unreal
They have a monopoly in 3D games, not a single open source can export to console. Open source projects limits artists like you and me with dumb ideas like TIFF format. Heavy restrictions to Windows only. Dumb downloads for developers like Microsoft Visual Studio. None of that matters with Unity or Unreal.
Never trust YouTubers
I'm making a model for a vrchat avatar and for some reason some bones are moving around on their own after I export as an FBX then reimport. I've searched all over the internet for a solution and a lot of the threads on various websites talk about animations and making sure that the armature is set to the correct frame of the animation, but I've never touched any of that. I may have fatfingered some hotkey during the whole process, but I have no idea if this is a bug or if I'm just retarded. I've applied all the scales and rotations etc too, so I don't think it's that.
>Search "How to do [ ] in Maya3D
>90% of tutorials are how to do it in Blender
WTF? I thought the shit posting on /3 was a joke. Blender has taken over.
Best I could find is Mike Hermes and Academic Phoenix Plus, but there are a load of special effects they don't cover.
i dont want to work in a studio or with other people, want to fly solo here
You might know me better as the guy who made that one Jet Force Gemini picture, but I have much more impressive stuff than that.
I want to improve and I’m really stuck. I’ve been following a head anatomy course and while I have improved a bit-it’s only a little bit, I think I’m not understanding a lot. I know I sound extremely naive in this whole thing, I just don’t know where to start. I can’t keep up in this course and make turd after turd without knowing I’m knowing how to improve after each turd
I bought anatomy for sculptors book too

FAQ:
>Why Unreal Engine over Unity?
While Unity has it's place with some great cross-platform support and an easy user interface, Unreal Engine is much more powerful and pushing the boundaries of real time graphics further. Unreal Engine also has a better license for independent developers; it's 100% free to use until your project generates more than $1 million in revenue, whereas with Unity you must pay to remove the splash screen in your game.
>Blueprints or C++?
Both. When creating a new object, consider creating a C++ class, then a blueprint that derives from it to get the best of both worlds.
C++ is much better for performance and memory management. Certain types of code can be much easier to create and manage compared to blueprints. The downside of C++ is that it can be verbose and difficult to understand, particularly with Unreal Engine's archaic macros.
Blueprints are easier to learn initially and compile much quicker, but as they grow bigger, they can get very messy and difficult to manage. Operations involving real time loops, structs and casts in blueprints can cause performance issues.

Modeling and geometric nodes were the most interesting part.
>All their models look like high quality DAZ renders
Explain this, I can't be the only one who notices.
I've been thinking if I like drawing or 3D more and what to invest more time on, because with 2D you can also animate
There's a demo out and you can see a few completed SFW scenes at youtube.com/@chadchan3d
The game's premise is that you're one of the last humans in a world of furries. This was an NTR fetish parody game (still is) but it's growing into a story about furries vs humans.
I was also thinking of remaking art by actually creative and artistic people in 3D, or replicating video game scenes.
Anyone else like this?
I am specifically wanting to model cars. I have something started but am not too happy with the outcome of the doors. I am starting with blueprints but still getting to grips with pretty much everything else.
What tips can you give an absolute noob when it comes to modelling?
Why the fuck did i think just because that shit more expensive it was better than blender when blender addons & renderers are so easy to install
>but in reality i do want to go into mainly motion graphic simulations & animation so it might be better
It's currently in a semi-public beta where people can apply, releasing next month.

Beginners, feel free to post any questions, issues, projects, or anything you want looked at here. There's no stupid questions, we were all beginners once.
Other anons that are willing to try and help out (if you want), explain things as simply as you can, and try to be patient with the people just getting started.
Going by the OP of the last thread,
>You are a beg for at least 2 years, depending on software.
This also might be helpful for anons just starting out and want to know some different places to get textures and other resources.

My answer: Topology over anything else. After extracting 3d models from multiple japanese games myself, they were simply made by hobbyists with no background at modeling. It's the information they had available at Japan which is something I need to obtain.
I have been looking for programmers on reddit and most of the time the just end up quitting after a while
Basic game loop is similar to Deep rock galactic and Lethal company, pretty easy to work with them and popular Hiring one is impossible for me now.
Should i keep working on it and then try to find someone? is it even worth working on it ??

How do i fix these blocky shadows? looks something with their resolution
i already tried those commands:
>r.Shadow.CSM.TransitionScale
>r.Shadow.FadeExponent
>r.Shadow.DistanceScale (seems to increase visibility but lowers overall resolution from closer pov)
>r.Shadow.RadiusThreshold (dont changes anything)
Its dynamic shadow using one point of lighting from the window.
spoiler: only Z-Up is based. Z-Up came first in history, so it must be right. CAD enginners and cartographers used 3D graphics long before any of you animators dicking around in Maya.

When I change the value of a control in the channel box, it moves the connected joints correctly. But moving the same control in the viewport doesn't do anything.
Why is that?
I have now used blender for less than 24 hours in total and am enjoying learning, have made 2 (well 1.5) things so far.
My E-Chum also informed me about this board, as he said it can have good info here now and then so here i am.
I like sculpting the best so far and spent 3 hours today experimenting with geometry and extrusion, inset tools etc, so may check out this more often.
Thank you for reading my blog.
I built and textured a map in Trenchbroom. I exported it to Blender as a OBJ/MTL from a folder containing the textures. Luckily, the textures kept their coordinates, but when I open the UV mapping menu, I get this fucking messy nightmare. Why? Is it because there's so many individual brushes? Is the scale too large or something? I need to export the UV map as a PNG/BMP, because the engine I'm working with can only reference one texture per object. Any ideas? Thanks anons
Can I buy off anyone's 3D portfolio models/images that you guys don't use anymore?
I lost my job and now I wanna move back into 3D modelling. Some small enviroment stuff would be nice while I make my own portfolio on the side.
Are you? Is it worth learning?
>still no auto-retopology tool for Blender
blendlets won
>search "#b3d" on twitter
>significantly large community that creates portfolio-tier content with the most visually and technologically impressive 3d bullshit i've ever seen
is this a bit or something, or
Recently, there was huge leak with models from the show, and ppl can make own stuff with it. But no matter what technics people use, no one can repeat what SAMG is doing. Any speculations what they are exactly doing to make models look like this? Triangle lighting doesn't seem enough, and Sun lighting don't really matches the outcome.
They're using Maya 2015 and Vray 3.05/3.6
I'm shit but here's what I got so far
What's your excuse for not doing it in blender? You gonna call his work shit, too?
it's official...CGI/VFX artists are obsolete, redundant, wasteful even.
i already submitted my resignation letter and you should too.

i really wanted to make low poly models
but i never like how they turn out
am i just trash at texturing?
i´ve read the main tread and watched loads of tutorials but still feel lost
what am i doing wrong?
I'm an employee at the local uni and all classes are 100% free for me. Considering trying some 3d classes, especially for animation because it's easily my weakest point by far. if it's generally a waste of time though I'll just continue with the self taught route. on the other hand, if they aren't a waste I'll definitely consider making 3d my second degree.

There's got to be better ways then this, right? I tried checking the 3dmm forums, but the tutorials are as old as the apps they use.
Apparently it's all vertex animations or a sequence of OBJ models, so I'm surprised there's no way to just make those in a modern software and convert them.
I was careful. So so careful. I guess it's time to say goodbye to Adobe and learn another software.

Yes the VR schizo can make a thread and shitpost every day however mention this modeling technique will get your thread PURGED!!!!!!!!!
So I want to ask others about "Lattice Modeling" I have a old paper book taking about how to use blender and Lattice Modeling ism mentioned there and I got great results by using it. Forget sculpting take a cube and a sphere and simply start modeling it with a Lattice with voxel remesher this is infnetly better.
I wanted to know what others know about this modeling subject and for others to post video tutorials on this subject.
Looks like a old and great way to model rounded machines and cars, because subsurface modeling is literal cancer.
Lets see if the mods purge this thread while we get daily shit posts about the garbage that is photogrametry.
>events are literally in person only and not being streamed
>2024
>Adobe says it can generate “photorealistic or stylized textures” from prompt descriptions, such as scaled skin or woven fabric. These textures can then be applied directly to 3D models, sparing designers from needing to find appropriate reference materials.
