The truth is, AgX is good, its damn good, but any tonemapper or colorspace isn't going to make or break you when it comes to what really counts which is animation.

The truth is, there are avenues out there that AI art has been totally unable to crack.

The truth is, maya is just as necessary as houdini in VFX.

I see /ic/ has a /beg/ thread often and figured this might be a good place to have one as well.

If you're already proficient in 3D, use this thread as a way to help new people grow with either tutorials you know of or general advice. I'll grab any that are good and try to stick them at the top of each new thread if this takes off

If your a /beg/ use this thread to ask questions or to post some of your works you've done.

Also, try to avoid the donut tutorial. We get enough of that on this board as is.

Material Maker
materail_maker_hell_yeah
Holy shit I love this program! Sure it sucks, but it's amazing! I thought it's like 1/10 of Substance Designer but in reality it's more like it's 7/10 of Substance Designer + dozen of features and workflows SD doesn't have + ability to implement new and customize any existing nodes directly using shader code. Even though its UI has some slightly stupid feel to it and nowhere as smooth as SD, it's just conceptually way better because of its open-endedness with shader code and additional features, so I only consider it the right decision to switch to Material Maker and maybe even try to support it anyhow, either by donating or sharing nodes or whatever. I also expected this UI clumsiness to make it way slower to use than SD but in reality, because unlike SD it has all node properties directly on node itself (and not hidden in a pane that is only showed when you select the node), it's kinda compensated and in general its' quite fast to use. It sucks ofc that sometimes undo/redo does work and sometimes not, and some curves are weirdly saved if you choose to click somewhere inaapropriate instead of ok/cancel, but honestly this is all minor stuff. It really works, and enables nice new workflows and is quite productive. I really enjoy all those features, like export nodes for example because I can autoexport a whole set of textures based on some core texture.

Stupid Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread
mfw
When starting out in 3D, is it better to finish as many models as you can (or projects if you'd like to call them that way) and keep adding more sophisticated technologies and techniques as you learn them or is it better to just polish one model and keep adding stuff to it as you learn? I come from a 2D background and when it comes to drawing quantity is king, you should be drawing every day as much as you can. Is it the same for 3D? I would've posted this in a SQTDDTOT but there's no such thread at the moment (you can use this thread for that, if you'd like)

Leg problem when symmetrizing in blender?
leg problem
I created an armature with IK and symmetrized it, then applied automatic weights and everything works as it should.

However, I cannot find a fix to this problem: as you can see on picrel, one of the legs (left leg) does not want to bend using IK, but rather becomes stiff, while the other leg has the exact same settings except it moves.

I have tweaked the settings such as the pole angle and chain length, but it doens't work.

One thing that's weird is that I tried enabling "Rotation" in the IK modifier, which makes it bend, but messes up with the leg by rotating it slightly in a shitty way, I don't know.

This is my first time rigging a character, so I'm a complete noob in that regard.

Megascans will go behind a paywall at the end of 2024.
Or something like that. Epic just sent out a vaguely worded email:
- Megascans will be available through Fab starting in October
- Megascans will be 'free' till the ***end of 2024***
- New pricing model will be introduced
- Some Megascans will remain free
- Megascans content you got for free will still be in your account (probably?)
- Bridge will be discontinued (?)

options:
1. Add every megascans item to your account now and pray epic lets you keep them
2. Buy a new harddrive and download everything now
3. Hope that everything free now will remain free as legacy content

This channel has been bothering me for a while now. The production quality is some of the highest I've ever seen, and the creative team is using a huge variety design tools to make these videos. Despite their popularity, this channel has very little information regarding team size, members, talent or development process. There doesn't seem to be any outside work posted on online portfolio websites like ArtStation or Behance. Where did they come from and how the hell are they so good? How did they nail this rendering style so effectively? What tools are they even using to make this content? Their CAD models are incredibly detailed, the materials, environment and textures are on point (especially water sim) and their lighting setup is almost perfect. I'd really like to apply these techniques to my work if there was some way to find out what the hell they're even doing.

How do you make soft joints not suck?
leg raise
Realistically the leg changes shape when it moves because the muscles are attached to different (literal) bones. I'm skeptical you can just weight-paint really good; surely professionals use a different method. Can you do something like create a second model with the leg raised and anatomy corrected and morph between the two?
I've done modeling in Blender before and focused on 2D art since, and I'm interested in getting back into 3D but the impression I'm getting it modeling machines with hard joints is a better use of 3D.

Hey /3/ help a retard out, what is Valve using to create these effects in Deadlock?

It doesn't look like polygons but don't look like simple bumpmap/normals either because when you clip into these geometries it's not just a texture on a flat plane.

Also at the end of the webm you can see that the effect breaks at extreme angles.

THIS IS ABOUT LIGHTING NOT POLITICS
beautyLighting
I was just gonna post in a different lighting thread but I guess it's gone.

Now I have a problem often and other anons have complained about it too. That is you spent all this time sculpting the most gorgeous googoo eyed anime waifu in the world and when you put lights to her she turns into a gargoyle. In the previous thread I brought up using real life photography lighting to light your scenes. Light a living room animation like how theyd light a commercial filmed in a living room. I just saw this which is an absolutely amazing use a beauty lighting to turn a very ugly old woman 40 years younger. And you can see very clearly how they did it in the reflections in her eyes.
The problem with old women in the real world and the problem with your 3d models is the same. The human eye looks for shapes typically cast by shadows on the face to determine its attractiveness. Photographers defeat this effect by lighting from underneath. This blows out uglifying shadows. It's why your model looks great with the default lighting in the modelling software, but looks like shit under point lighting.

>To get to it
on either side we have 2 big rectangular diffuse lights. Light is scattered across a white filter. In software you might call that an area light. The light is cast from a wide area to eliminate sharp shadows. along the bottom is the biggest and brightest light. It's width extends to underneath the side lights too. This light is what fills in every nook and cranny on her face.
On the top is the smallest(but still cast from a diffuse filter), and dimmest light. It has to be the dimmest so that it does not overpower the other lights and cast ugly shadows. You still need it there because if you light only from the bottom you make a spooky ghost face.

What (important) animation tools Maya has that Blender lacks?
homeless-w
Yet another annoying Maya and Blender thread.

What tools does Maya have for character animation, which Blender does not have, or has them, but in much worse state? I've read plenty of articles on the subject, but didn't manage to get a clear answer.

What I've gathered that Maya has an animation layers built-in, while Blender requires an addon for it. Also Maya has animbot script, which, people say, very powerful? What other important, big animation tools Maya has, but Blender has not? Also, what kind of stuff Animbot has, which Blender has not?

Asking because I work in Blender myself, got some experience in it. And during my work, I often encountered various problems with gimbal locks and graphs (like handles suddenly shifting in an unpredictable way), and I wonder if Maya has something to counteract those, and other common issues animators encounter while using other software?

Should I take a Maya course at school?
c1023cf7d567e5516f1e140e7a479a64
So I took an animation course and modeling course for my art minor. Both courses specialized in cinema 4D. I wanted to learn Maya so I'm retaking the same animation course but this time it's with Maya. The instructor said however it was a more art focused course and we weren't going to be going deep into the technical aspect of the Maya program. And a lot of what we learned in class were literally covered in YouTube tutorials he posted. Plus my school actually has a lot of Maya tutorials that I can access via the library website. A part of me is thinking taking the course might be pointless and I can just learn this stuff on my own and save my money on the course and focus on doing my major (non art related). Now there are some pros to the course. I did meet another student who showed me some cool things in Maya. I know I generally do better in a more structured learning environment and get more done. So I guess the class would be more worth just to interact with others, and I could say "I have experience with Maya". At the same time the class is expensive of course and I have to commute an hour to get to it. I don't need this course for my minor or major.

So should I stay with the class or just drop it and use the resources to learn the more technical aspects of the program or stick with it to be forced to complete some projects and work with others.

shade_smooth_normals
I have this kind of 2d/3d crossover geometry with flower stems being planes and flower heads being 3d shapes, so at some point I have plane edges joining 5 gons and this seems to break smooth shading, because 3d stuff can have blue normals on all faces, but 2d plane will always have a blue (front normal) and red (back normal) parts and flipping it will just change which one is blue and which one is red. And the thing is when red face is neighbouring blue face it creates a shading artifact. Is there a way to make smooth shading work with this geometry?

Character using one shared mesh?
1696405824608483
Would it be feasible for a customizable character to use one shared mesh and just interpolate between male/female with shape keys?
My reasoning for this is to avoid having to make two versions of every piece of apparel, body texture, etc.
I think I might run into issues with animations but that's probably doable via IK and adjusting skeletal proportions additively.
Are there any base meshes that do this already so i can start prototyping clothes/customization?

Where to start to make character models?
cd92b5c1575d4537b41d57514cc59b5a
Hello /3/!
I'm trying to start 3D modelling characters, either male or female, and I've been wondering if any anons here have any good resources that teach this the best?

Also what software to use? I'm mostly experienced with Blender, so unless there's any specific or narrowed down reason to change (such as a software that'll take you one step closer to mastery), I'm willing to hear it.

Oh, and my style is really just regular human model, just realistic, though I'm assuming this won't matter once I master a normal human, then I can just explore different styles eventually.

I want to get into something 3D related but I can't tell exactly what

The tools I'm aware of
>Blender
>Unity
>MMD

I've tried doing basic Blender tutorials but I think I don't like modelling much, I don't know, I think it's kind of a drag.

I grew up playing The Sims where you just placed assets around I don't want to make them I think

Is that normal or Should I be wanting to make them? Can I actually be like more interested in idk, animation or building scenes with things other people make??

I watch Iwara videos sometimes and play VRchat so I was kinda interested into MMD, can I do like animations without caring about modeling things? Idk I just feel like I want to put things together without complicating much.

What about Unity. I know some programming

so this is what passes for AAA these days? they don't even bother making high poly for assets anymore. the whole thing feels like it was outsourced to some third world asset-mill for $200

I want to thank everyone in this board who helped me at the beginning of the year when I was deciding between pursuing a degree in multimedia & 3D vs a bachelor in computer systems now

most made me realize it was a really bad idea and I ended up going for information systems, now Im gonna get a job as a project manager which is nice

I havent touched 3D or video editing ever since though.

Is it fine to do lowpoly as you do highpoly just without subdivision? Do you need to care about good topology in lowpoly? Even if you don't need to care about topology since you don't subdivide, can you deliberately choose to care about topology and make lowpoly models subdivision friendly (this could be handy for additional static renders right)? Is there anything that actually requires you to produce subdivision-UNfriendly topology? Is it just a matter of saving like 5-15% of poly budget?

Serious question, how would you achieve this shape with this UV mapping without doing everything manually? I started by extruding from cube, formed this perimeter from extrusions, then added bevel and subdivision surface and eventually hit dead end when tried to generate UV map I wanted for that. Played around just with plain cubes and reached the conclusion that the main issue is that topologically I basically ask the top and bottom face to wrap in circle (and have a hole in it). Then I started from plane and grinded all the way by gradually subdiving and folding and wrapping it in rounded shape, while carefully checking UVs on each step and making adjustments when needed. This looks like a very basic shape and UV though, I have this feeling there really might be a way to do all this in like 10 seconds... Is there?

I love wasting more time on this program.

Zbrush requiring a shit ton of info
R
I'm having to purchase Zbrush for school, and have settled on the subscription liscence, but only for a while. It baffles me that Zbrush, or rather Maxon, requires so much goddamn information about you just to be able to purchase it. Did everyone else go through this? Is there a way around it? A school ID I'd understand, but it asks for your drivers liscense and a video of you turning your head. Without suggesting an alternative like Blender, is there a way around this? Or do I just have to bite the bullet?

While gen ai is already capable of creating high res models, textures and whole scenes, yall still clicking subdivide and sharing ur garbage on this barely alive forum. What strain of cope is it? Accept your fate, breathe out with relief and maybe go do something actually worthwhile, instead of committing to memory some soon to be absolete program's UI.

Would have posted this in the QTDDTOT but it seems to have fucked off, is there any AI paid or free that can auto generate textures onto a mesh? Looking for something detailed in biological/sSci-Fi alien stuff since aside from very minor edits I'm complete shit at 3D painting and texturing.
