What is the point in blender? What really is the point?
I am making a music video in Blender with Hatsune Miku (character model also made by me, shown in previous thread),
singing about not making minecraft. The song is here
https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1245060
I am starting on the actual animation portion of the music video finally now.
this shot compared with the length of the entire song, i am 1% complete at this point.
But when I look at my stuff in Orthogonal view, the cylindrical "holes" don't show up.
They appear in perspective view however.
I'm really confused I wanna make cool sci fi panels :3

Would you like to tag along while I attempt to create this model?
whenever i try to apply scale to a rigged model, part of it breaks, and some of the bones coordinates jump to random(?) locations.
any fixes? similar posts on [spoiler]reddit[/spoiler] say to basically rebuild the rig from scratch, wich sounds retarded.

why the fuck is it impossible to get help with this shit
- I have to use Blender
- all elements are either ellipsoids or organic shapes (image related)
- All elements, most of them, have wrapping contour lines.
- The end result needs to be smooth, the wrap lines need to look like they have been painted, not plastered over the main blob.
- The contour lines must be a different color to the main blob.
- GLB Binary
- The elements will be displayed on a web viewer in a 500px by 500px area, so the smaller the file size the better.
- It would be nice to have the option to make only the blob transparent.
I've found some howtos on most things except wrapping contours on solids, also read the sticky but I'm still lost. Anyway, what would be the most competent way to achieve this? At least adding the wrap lines on a sphere would be appreciated.

It makes learning this program hell. There's so many tools and I want to learn what they all do and WHY I would use them and how it interacts with other tools. It's ridiculous.
It took me almost 2 weeks to learn about TLA and how it works after digging through a ton of different animation tutorials and it makes animation 10x easier yet so many tutorials never mention it or don't even acknowledge it's existance.
I hope you like it, feel free to make your own rupert

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.

Am I missing out from not using latest versions?
thoughts?
For example: if you move the foot, then the entire body will move as well and adjust based on physics to create a natural movement. Compare that with traditional IK/FK animating where you have to move each point manually.
This software is still unknown, but I have a feeling it's going to get momentum and become the next big thing.

I swear to god if you link me to some lame-o tutorial that has a mediocre solution, I'm going to be so mad. I want something REAL.
I tried using a more overcast hdri file for the background texture lighting or whatever you call it but that kind of just sucks out the saturation. Adding lights just make shadows that are too harsh.
Today anime video is basically a solved issue similar to the stage where Stable Difussion was when It released 1.5 model, back in October last year.
All of the above are easy to download in trail version but you cant learn from Youtube tutorials for example since every trailversion out there is with not even half of the original softwares functionality.
Also: best way to download and eventually crack/keygen/other option the software to make it function like it should work (full) for professionals.
(/t/ told me to post this in /3dcg/)
there's a flat circular surface with concentric rings.
the rings that are lower i want to have filled in with a kind of glue or something, so that it will bubble up and harden like that and be raised higher than the rest of the surface
so i basically want raised concentric rings that are curved instead of straight
it should look like liquid with high surface tension keeping it from spilling over
how can i do that? is it even possible in sketchup?
thank you for any help you may be able to give
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
Please tell me you've paid off your house and don't have a 30 year jew chain still around your neck...
It might be the only model with a good style.
>Calling it a fad like people called the internet a fad
>Not beginning the learning curve on these tools early while everyone else is in denial about being obsolete
>muh true art
>Muh ai aided art is soulless
Why are most people so narrow-minded? In the same way you're calling ai tools soulless you could call 3D rendering soulless. It's like calling a hammer and chisel soulless because the sculptor isn't using their bare hands to carve the stone. This shit is so obvious, how can you not see it? Are you so emotionally invested in your current worldview as to be left behind by new innovations rather than adapting to them? Aren't artists supposed to be the open-minded ones ready to propel forward the culture and methods of expression?
Why the fuck did the devs forget about adding the current value you are at when manipulating something? Like you are rotating a model but you cannot see where you at. You want to rotate to an exact 90 degree? you have to manually punch it "90" on the box, you don't see where you are in positions xyz as well too. This is fucking retarded.
Then there's the fact that loading rigs removes all previous keyframes. Having a rig loaded doesn't allow you to upload animations too. So if you want to use a walking cycle, you have to disable rigs, load the animation, then load the rig again, and each time you do this, you lose all keyframes, how the fuck do people use this? I don't want to manually make walk and run cycles all the time. I want to make the dude look like it's from HL2 so I just want to use the sequences included for walking and running, then when I want to do some specific movements I want to load IK simple biped rig and move stuff, but when I do this, the fucking "Bookmarks" disappear so I cannot tweak anything I did previously, since trying to modify motion lines without seeing where the vertexes, or keyframes or whatever the fuck you want to call it were, it will just make things jerky and fuck things up.
I still want to learn the workflow for this before I judge. I always wanted to learn this, I just love the Source engine aesthetic. And no I don't want to do porn but an actual normal animation. I've already seen the tutorials, the Valve ones get too aspie sometimes, like the pose to pose tutorial using 2 cameras at once, who does that. And then some people use the motion editor, others the graph editor. I just want to use sequences for movements, and have IK for the rest. Any experts on this?
Lol anyone can make movies now. Its over.

Hardmode: Without using the spin tool.
What's your workflow for creating meshes such as the debris under the billiard table?
Making it artificially in Maya for example looks very fake and unnatural. I'd guess these might be photoscans, but all photoscans I've ever seen of debris like this looks like shit

Any tips on getting around the CAD-minded block, or software that adapts CAD style tools to poly modeling?

Funnily enough, there's great online OBJ viewers (Sketchfab, 3Dviewer.net) but I have a problem finding good software for it. The basic Windows 3D viewer is honestly one of the best out there in it's ease of use and fluidity, but it still has a few QoL problems (no X axis rotation etc). I tried to use Blender but the navigation alone is a pain.
Do you have some suggestions for good standalone and simple 3d file viewers in general?

All I want to do is add some physics to a characters face so when something collides with it, it somewhat realistically reacts i.e. punching a characters face but apparently this is a really hard thing to fucking do properly. It makes me feel like i'm better off using a game engine to simulate certain type of physics

How much money should i realistically be charged with?
Should i commission an individual artist or studio?
I really dont know shit about 3d
But I've found that blender plus
>Retopoflow (retopo)
>Voxel heat mapper (weight painting)
>Armor paint (PBR texture painting)
>Unionbytes (pixel art pbr texturing)
>Xnormal (xnormal textures)
>Material maker (PBR and material generation)
>Asset forge (for quick layout and experimentation)
>Quadremesher (auto retopo)
>VRM addon (for export as VRM)
>Text tools (Normal and ID map baking)
>UV Zen master (UV)
>Luxcore render (Render engine)
>AutoRig pro (rigging)
>VRoid studio (anime basemeshes)
>Makehuman (realistic basemeshes)
They tend to work just fine, even for AAA PBR workflows.
Sure, if you're like le elite AAA hollywood employee in le super big production, maybe you need an AAA team.
But for indie games and smaller productions that aren't le epic billion dollar movie, I've seen they tend to produce good quality shit on youtube.
Most of that shit is free or would be like 100 usd total cost of legally acquiring the entire suite.
My point is that for the vast majority of guys here, like they don't need to pirate 5k tools, when you can get hired with cheaper tools.
Unless your goal is to work for le goyim masters in le goyim movie, I guess.
Since my goal is le epic anime pornography, I don't think I need le autismo of hyperrealism.

Im following some tutorials online for blender sculpting and the instructor keeps saying to use "loco mode" what the hell is it and how do I switch to it?
my next attempt is going to be to do it by hand. i will merge vertices and create faces until the mesh is manifold. before i resort to that, does anyone have tips for finding these "holes" or for doing this in an easier way?

The video game SSX Tricky has gotten community support for custom levels. The catch is that it uses NURBS for its level geometry
Specifically nurbs that are 4X4 CV patches
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTPh88NXW98&t=1s
I have installed about 10 different software packages looking for something to use but non of them suit my needs (missing basic tools features or are incredible painful to use).
Rhino, maya, alias, 3ds max, fusion 360 and a couple others i dont remember
It needs to be able to:
Model in nurbs
Have the nurbs be 4x4 cv patches
Be easy
Have all the tools you would expect (like extrude along spline)

How do I work out how many inches I must make the 3D model of the wall so that when it's behind my 5.5" statue, it'll be the right size compared to the statue.
my dream is to make my own shortfilm, but every time i get stuck thinking what the fuck do i want to say. I suck at that, i can make any scene look sweet and animate cameras, characters, etc, but i cant get pass the IDEA, the plot, the objective of the fucking thing.

Gaydev Animators can only clean up mocap, they will never reach true SOVL.
Now admire, real SOVL.
But there are some important questions that have to be clarified before:
1. In which file format is the 3d information stored within the PNG files?
2. Which encryption or compression method do they use?
3. Is the file scheme open source or are they licensed?
I talked with my professor about this and he recommended that I witch to the modeling course but I can't because it would literally fuck up my entire schedule with other classes. He said that if I chose to stay in the course he'd work with me and be real lenient and shit but that I would still have a lot of difficulties trying to teach myself 3D modeling while learning all of this shit because I'd still need to know some no matter what but essentially I'd get some special treatment as the designated "dipshit retard" of the class.
I just need to learn how to make some basic rigs, props, and environments. I'm going to stick to a very cartoony artstyle consisting of basic shapes and shit.
Is this doable? I just need to be able to make some basic enough 3d models to tell a story and make a 3 minute long animation. He said it doesn't need to look great. Can I get some material that would help me?
If this doesn't sound doable I'll probably just drop it. Again, I just need to learn something really basic so I can make an animation.
