What is the best workflow or tool to maintain consistent texel density in Blender? All I can find online is basically either "just place a reference plane with texture and manually scale every single texture comparing to that plane by eyeballing" or "idk bro I just select all my objects and unwrap them all together". This can't be serious right? This is very very far from something I would consider productive. Which is something like: a global setting to set texel density affecting all unwrap, uv and object operations, like 1m for 1024x1024, and then all unwraps take it into consideration and if any face of any object ever goes beyond 1m it will automatically get tiling of its texture. If it's less than 1m texture will not shrink to fit either. Is there anything like this?

The starting path
1731664345615843
Hello, first and foremost I'd like to apologize for shitting up the board with a topic that has been probably brought up a thousand times.

I'd like to know if it's even feasible for someone with a full time job (40h/week) and a family to get into 3DCG for a hobby that eventually turns into a side hustle/passive income type of thing. With AI tools being more and more used/abused and the market already being flooded with autists that go all in on the prospect of being able make a living without leaving their bedroom being my potential competition.
1. I can probably squeeze 6-12 hours in a week at most.
2. I have experience with 2d graphics but never really got into 3d
3. The goal is to create 3d assets and models for game development, as well as 3d printing models. (That would come later as I would need a 3d printer for prototyping and double checking my models for physical properties)

So my question is: is this even doable? Should I invest hundreds of hours to hone a craft that will bring me peanuts, if anything at all? How important is marketing and getting social media coverage? I'm at a crossroads here and need someone to let me know if I'll end up in a dark Forest of frustration and suicidal thoughts if I go that way.

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)

Dear Blender users and devs,

Catmull-Clark subdivision surfaces with supporting edge loops is not a alternative to chamfered edges. Not all smooth corners are the same. You "bevel" tool shits the bed on just about anything more complicated than your default cube. Your Booleans only work 70% of the time at best, even for simple object. This is not a way to live, and you should feel shameful.

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?

Lowpoly pixel texturing consistency
Annotation 2024-11-15 160640
When doing lowres pixelart texture for lowpoly model, depending on UVs and seems some lines are perfect while others are choppy and pixelated. How would you make this more consistent? Any suggestions what are the most wrong things here and how to make it better while still maintaining thicc-pixel-lowpoly style? I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing when in comes to lowpoly character modelling and texturing so even entrylevel tips are welcome.

any animation tuts for understanding body movement?
v5-head
most tutorials for animation simply follow a reference, they don't explain why the body is moving in this way to look convincing. If I follow these tutorials I'm simply copying and not understanding.
Without a reference I don't know how to make my animation look convincing. Are there any tutorials which explain the body movement ?
Sorry if I didn't explain properly, don't know how to quite explain myself.

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?

3d open worlds (non-unreal)
sos
What techniques and programs are used to create open world games?
Unreal Engine has Landscape, yes, but I'm not interested in Unreal, I'm talking older games like Skyrim, Fallout 3, or even GTA San Andreas which I replayed recently, like how the FUCK did they create those massive open worlds? Especially in SA's case I find it especially impressive, as it has both kinds of environments one would be faced with in tackling this endeavour, both natural (countryside, deserts, mountains) and man made (roads, sidewalks, skyscrapers).
I looked up possible answers on G*ogle but all answers are just news articles glorifying (rightfully so) Beth's and Rockstar's open worlds, but there aren't actual technical details like what program they even used, settings, that kind of stuff, nothing that can allow me some wannabe to even begin trying to ape their work. I did find a very useful GDC talk going over modular kits [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBAM27YbKZg ], but while great that video goes over buildings and interiors (they used 3DSMax, one could use Blender as well if they wanted to), not open world creation. They touch on it briefly in the video I just linked, but more on a conceptual level, like oh we first draw a map, then we define the coastline, then the roads etc. but I'd like to know, again, more technical details, like are these worlds created as a simple plane in 3DS/Blender, how do they go about texturing such a huge plane without using enormous textures, how do they export it into a game engine, do they import it whole or do they slice it up in pieces for optimization and whatnot, and so on and so forth

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.

How advanced are the rigs from Sircus3D animations? I'm referring his early work.
Dead_or_Alive_2_cover_art
The way the models look remind me of DOA games so i used them for picerel.

If you want an example just find rule34 sircus video with the 5 nurses or search 'sircus3d hentai'. I got some ideas I want to bring to life and I need my animations and models to look exactly like that.
What type of rig is involved here and will I need to use any scripts to get it to bend and move the way I want? His breast and butt physics seem on point too so I have to wonder if it's hand keyed+ physics rather than relying solely on the engines physics.

Blender Question: How to Create Clothes
sheet
Hey Chuds! I am seeking more advise from wizards again, this time about creating clothes for a rigged character. I downloaded this Shantae model by Zy0n7, AMAZING model the rig itself is ok it gets the job done the only problem is the clothing. I wanted "pic related" clothing (blue jacket, red bikini top and bottom and sun glasses) but it is not included with the model. The creator said that the clothing and props are rendered only and where not part of the mesh data. I NEED to create this clothing but, alas I am but a lowly Chud with not much experience in creating, mostly posing and lighting. I have seen there are plugins for cloth but I honestly have no idea where to start to recreate these clothes.

>Could a wizard help a nigga out, what is the best way to create clothes and make it part of the rig when I'm posing it?
>Is there a website where I could download clothing and append it to the file?
>Is there a plugin that could make this easier to do?

Juliet Starling Blender 3.6 Posing Lag
GbF7QgtW4AANyT_
Hey Chuds, I recently downloaded a Juliet Starling model off SmutBase by the creator Digital Hell and its the best model they got of this character but the Posing speed is atrocious and I tried everything to improve it and nothing. I simplified it reducing all viewport options to 0, put the render engine to cycles GPU compute (I have Nvidia Geforce RTX 3070), using blender 3.6 (as comments in smutbase say downgrading helps), the 3D viewport always as solid and nothing works maybe a slight improvement to posing speed but still lagging in pose mode. Also the viewtarget for her eyes is able to be moved but her eyes do not move accordingly. Could a 3d wizard help a Coomer out, I'm still relatively noobish to blender as-well, please I'm begging for a hero. I'll leave the link to the model download so you can see what I'm talking about when trying to pose the character.

Oldrin
Hey everyone, I could use some advice. I'm 29 and currently stuck in a soul-draining 9-5 remote job, so I'm looking to pick up a new hobby for the weekends. I've been considering diving into 3D modeling, with the ultimate goal of joining a creative community and making new friends. One of my specific goals is to create a 3D render of this character, then resin print and paint it to test my skills. I'm aiming to achieve this by the end of March 2025. With the right resources and dedication, do you think this goal is realistic, or am I too old for it and it would be better to just commission a professional to do this?

Can some blender wizard help me?

I want to imitate this art shading in blender.

The issue is that the light and shadow boundaries doesnt seem to follow the definition if this was a 3D mesh.
They seem to imitate similar boundaries if the mesh were under a subsurf modifier and used a toon shader.
But at the same time the light shadow boundarie seems to follow very closelly if there are creases, similar in that area to a bevel operator more than a smooth subsurf surface. This is more obvious on the joint ares and the fingers and the groin area in some anime art, specially if there's something like a shirt of jeans.

The specular is closer to a metalic in PBR shaders or a phong model very shiny specular, It usually follow simpler shapes than the shadow, and sometimes is even the shape of circles or something that looks like the shape of a RIM light but beyond the area of a normal rim light.

There's also the reflected light of the ambient light, but this seems to follow something like a curvature map and a vector towards the left area of the camera view point.

There's also the RIM light, which follow fresnel logic, but in a simplified fashion.

Colors don't seem to follow really a realistic logic but more a color ramp type of logic.

Tablets with screen

I need a new tablet. To be honest, the Intuos Pro was perfect for the job but ever since I saw the Cintiq stuff, I've been desiring a tablet with a screen for the longest time.

The Cintiq are expensive though so save money starting today but are there other brands that maybe do similar products AND are quality stuff?

Okay i give up looking for a job so I'm gonna start making my own assets

Would anyone be interested to start a small studio making asset packs with revenue share. Some of my work here: https://imgur.com/a/hiqJkQ8
looking for feedback as well

Asset packs will focus more on environments and props since from my experience those are easy to make and generate more revenue
An asset pack i made 2 years ago and spend like 4 days on, has generated somewhere to 500usd so if we make a 1 asset pack weekly/biweekly i believe its going to work


If you’re interested pm me on Discord: walter_1057
I’m expecting for at least similar quality to mine

looking for feedback as well

Image to 3D generators
TripoSR test
Imo current tech progression is basically generating a theoretical 3D scan of your input image, everything else is just repackage old techs for smoke and mirrors. The output models have the same usage as 3Dscans.
It seems quite good for generating small prop for kitbashing

Anyway, I wonder if anybody got a successful set up for ComfyUI to run locally. I'm only able to get it to work by sending the image to TripoSR API, installed through ComfyUI-Manager, which is not local ( at least the output is good and it's currently free for now )
