it is a mechanically very simple game with characters that run around and beat up big hoards of spawning mobs. use special abilities collect treasure, use special items, fight bosses. its also a major collectathon. the mobs are mostly reskins of each other. the levels are very simple walk throughs with minor switch based back track puzzles.
the point is its a very acheivable game to remake mechanically.
my proposal to /3/ is that i will work on making the game work. /3/ can brainstorm new themes, characters, items, everything. anyone can drop in contribute what they want and drop out at their leisure. ill go into more detail on the structure and figure out a reliable file sharing method too.
its not 2004 anymore so were going to go bigger than midway did but also we can keep poly counts and intricate details very low. animations are also going to be super simple and very easy for a beginner to pull off. im in the midst of making charts to keep track of ideas and assets.
if no one else participates then im alreadybplanning to do it all myself. full disclosure: im a degenerate weirdo so if im left alone thats the direction im likely to go, but if people contribute and we want to make it more wholesome thats great. if theres a conflict we can fork the project and ill share my code and stuff with anyone who can prove they know what theyre doing woth it. eventually id like to make it so you can just drop in models into the right place and it will just work.

Is there a way to have some raster tool like Krita being able to export to grease pencil.
grease pencil brush engine is just cumbersome compared to drawing with a raster tool like Krita.
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.

ITT: post animations you did with blender, anything is welcome
is it worth the shekels? lots of potentially useful tools but also a lot of junk.
https://huggingface.co/spaces/VAST-AI/CharacterGen
So, what software should I be using? Blender seems to have a lot of tutorials available but a lot of people also decry it as having an unintuitive interface. It also doesn't seem to be that good for when you need exact measurements, which I'll undoubtedly need to be able to fit in pre-fab components such as snap buttons etc.
AutoCAD is unfortunately Windows only, which I'm not going back to ever considering the dumpster fire it seems to have become since I left. FreeCAD might be sufficient for my needs, but would using a straight-up CAD program actually be good for my use case which isn't really that technical?
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.

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

Now some anons are goading me to make it into a movie
I have told them that this is many orders of magnitude more difficult than just writing the script, especially for something that's over two hours long and drenched in 4chan memes, yet they persist
You guys have real skills and know what you're talking about so maybe if you're the ones to say it there's a chance they'll actually listen
Can you help me convince them this is literally, unironically impossible?
Has anyone tried this out? How is it?
I need to have additional quads in that part of the dress because it stretches a lot when rigging
All of these are quads
The only thing I know about DAZ is that every model that comes out of it looks like a single mom with a skin disease and a permanent fluoride stare. Even the stylized characters seem to have a "look" about them that instantly betrays their dazzieness. What's the deal? What's being offered in DAZ that I can't get anywhere else?

Personally, this is some of the most creative modeling and animation I've seen in years
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwAPLk_sQ3w
Right now I do everything with just my mouse. Is a tablet something mandatory or optional? Does it provide a significant improvement to workflow? And do I need a tablet like a Wacom if I want to work professionally or would something like an artist 15.6 pro work?
I have the money, I just want to know if I need this or if it will help substantially in my career.
I just want to animate anime girls with bouncy boobies fighting with weapons and magic like RWBY.
I've seen people say that Maya is better for animation than blender but I've not seen people actually explain what makes it better specifically. Is it the UI or something? I only have experience in Blender and cinema 4d. I prefer animating in blender over C4D. Right now I'm not doing shit professionally but I don't want to waste time learning Blender if I'm just going to have to learn Maya later. I'm not getting any younger over here.
I've taken a 3d animation and modeling course at college just for an art minor. I plan on taking animation again but learning Maya instead of cinema 4d. Would it be better to just fuck around in blender making meme shit until this fall or should I just dive into Maya?
Not saying I'm lost without it but it would help.
Sometimes I wonder, how the fuck am I able to make such levels of KINO.
cris, you basterd bloody beatch.
you made it again.
you got KINO.
AI can't win over this level of uganda KINO.
Humans won.
AI lost.

I've literally never even had to touch 3d modeling software up until recently for game dev stuff.
How schizophrenic can you get with parametric designs? How crazy/precise can you make the logic chains? Can it be used for 3d printing/engineering projects as well?
I have yet to hear someone say it's shit because _____, other than for a seeming lack of problem solving skills. It kinda reminds me of when FM was first starting to get really popular in the sound design space and I know you can go off the deep end with sound design pretty fucking fast. I'm hoping parametric modelling is the same.
BSG the company that develops tarkov says the game arena breakout has stolen their assets including not only models but also sounds etc. you are experts in 3d modelling what do you guys say? i really wanted to hear from experts what is true or not here are two videos one says it is stolen the other says it is not stolen

You're supposed to drag it out of view.
Of course the total hack hiding under the moniker "Blender Guru" (or as I like to call him "The Doughnut Grifter") teaches you to erase it.
I hate him so much.
In maya the paint3d tool seems to do absolutely nothing unless you're painting on a cube primitive. Tutorials that may or may not help me accomplish this very simple task have 30 minutes of nonsense to skip through. why

WHY
Do you guys think this is a viable idea?
So I wanted to make a Mel script to create a locator at the current position of the character, then constrain the root to that position so the character will end up in the same place, but I can't get this fucking Mel garbage to work. Even examples online just give me syntax errors.
Now I'm just trying to select the locator and set its translateY to 0, but how to I set the position of either a named object, or the selection?
spaceLocator -p 0 0 0 -name FuckYouMaya;
parentConstraint -skipRotate x -skipRotate z Character:RootX_M FuckYouMaya;
select -r FuckYouMayat_parentConstraint1 ;
delete;
select -r FuckYouMaya
SetAttr //what goes here?
Paid or free it doesn't matter.
>All their models look like high quality DAZ renders
Explain this, I can't be the only one who notices.
Tips to make the actual texture fitting this would be appreciated too.
So /3dsg/ anything 3ds max related. Tell me if you have any doubts using this god awful fucking piece shit of a software, wips, works etc etc.
>he creates normalmap straight from diffuse, no heightmaps involved

How do we stop Crises like this from making tutorials?

>will be seen up close
>is in-engine
>needs to be optimized
>has destructibility
>is dense
So that the 3 main concerns are that it can't consist of a ton of individual strands that are laggy and easily seen through, it can't look dogshit if approached in first person, and will look right if a chunk is removed via programming. Stylized is fine and encouraged as the intent, but shouldn't explicitly come off as fake (e.g. a big rectangle with a solid texture). It doesn't need to be fancily animated, or sway, though the capability to have subtle animation would improve its value. It would benefit if there was some transparency between strands, or the illusion of transparency to a degree that is aesthetically desirable. Bonus if this technique can apply to other such thick, continuous foliage like a field of grass
I want to see their tutorials and have their resources.

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.

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?
My illustration style may as well be 3d at this point but would it be easier in 3d? The mesh structure is practically the same, and lighting would be way easier.
Pic rel not my art I just dont want to dox myself by posting real art.
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'm also working on a VR port
For me it was when I was looking up guides and all the comments were about making clothes for their Sims.
Realistically how long would it take to get good. I only really wanna do stuff like picrel initially.
What books read or what courses they take?
3D CG artist take architecture classes?
I thought that if i wanted to draw fantasy architecture like this, i should start studying real old architecture. I looked for some books on the subject but most pivot to the historical aspect rather than explain the elements of the buildings that are iconic of every era and every country and their functionality.
>"Hurrr just model arches and add bullshit"
>"Just search on google images for lots of references bro"
Both of these takes are retarded.
1. The style greatly deviates depending the building, so just by adding arches with bullshit i could end with a mix of styles, which won't look good.
2. While elegant, these are FUNCTIONAL designs, if look at the hallway image on bottom left, you can see the ceiling integrity is related to the design. Not only it looks pretty, there is a logic behind it.

So in other words, I don't need super complex animations but more just basic polygons in motion. Is Blender my best bet here? My buddy recommended SFM as well but based on what I've seen from SFM, it doesn't seem like it's the best program suited for my purposes.
I guess my final question is, how long would it take realistically to learn this level of 3D animation?
Pic related.
>most members are broke and unemployed
>only do one animation a year and never update their portfolio
>criticize popular 3D animators and how THEY can do better
Why is this so common?
With this in mind, how easy would it be to learn this 90s CGI style like pic related? It's something I want to learn for myself because ive always been obsessed with that style and want to make art in that style.
