I google "gimp hard surface texturing" and theres literally just some twisted fucks on there.
I request hard surface texturing tutorials for gimp
>>no I dont go on /r/ because I dont want to get a dick photoshopped on my dogs butt
I think, the biggest difficulty of finding something on the net is the choosing of the right words to phrase the matter appropriately.

hey /3/, does anybody here go or went to Gnomon school of visual effects?
how much does this school even cost?
I remember seeing that the tuition was 25.000$ (tuition usually just mean 1 year)
http://www.american-school-search.com/tuition/gnomon-school-of-visual-effects
now their website says its $9,511 per term (8 terms in 2 years)
so its $38,000 per year.
did they jack the price or what? if you are a student, how much did you pay for the whole 2 year or the 3 year program.

If you want a high paying job you should study engineering or some other STEM at an ivy league college. You wont find a high paying job in the art world if graduating from gnomon, Thats for sure.
You're going to have a rude awakening
Hypothetical scenario /3/;
If I were to devote my time to, and become skilled in Architectural Visualization, is there a good salary and job stability for someone like me in Australia?
I've really enjoyed making designs in hammer for source over the last decade, but found it a bit constraining given the timely and convoluted MDL compile methods involved in getting one custom assett in the game, so I was almost wondering whether to go full arch vis and do it for work.
Pic not mine, just a random image I saved from here not too long ago.
archviz is the most common job in 3d field (far as i know)
you can expand on that and learn product design,3d printing etc etc
do you like to animate? try that too because i think far as job prospects goes animators have more opportunities
>>524664
I don't mind animating, but I'm not as enthusiastic about it. The only experience I have in that area is making and animating weapons for Source mods in the 2000s.
I'm definitely keen to get into 3d printing though, but I have no idea what I'd actually build. Perhaps custom cosplay parts for cosplayers?
>>524665
there isn't a complete list but id imagine it would be something like:
archviz
simulations of mechanical parts and informational stuff (animation)
3d printing
vfx (commercials,intros,animation centered)
this is the list for anything that isn't games and film
now as for 3d printing id imagine people need to clothing accessories,door stops,replacing broken things,keychains etc.
and you like it you can expand to solidworks
Hello masters of 3D. I want some advice/help wih Photoshop and painting uv with it. Does anyone here knows a video or a lesson for free or paid, about using photoshop to paint Maps like Diffuse, reflection, specular, bump....???
I searched for a while, and all i could find is either a timelapse video, or a video like "hiiii guuuuyssss, itss meee, and todaaay i diiiid thiass inn photoshoooop"
Pls help

I would love it if I could actually have just one tutorial with someone who isn't foreign/using broken English.
Any good/recommended tutorials on modular asset/environment creation?
make sure the verts that border each part connect. What else is there to know?
>>525900
how do you avoid zfightning?
>>525920
You don't see zfighting since they don't overlap.
When is making all faces triangle useful and why?
Triangles have no specific use. You can turn a quadmesh into a triangle any time, but not the other way around. You can also accurately subdivide quads but not triangles.
If your engine uses all triangles, or if you have a limited poly budget it can be useful to get the most out of what you have.
You get a lot more fine control when working with tris, but you lose a lot of the power and plus who wants to fuck around with individual faces.
Also about engines, some just do not deal with ngons, only tris and will fuck up on import.
>>526338
When you export it into a game engine where the isoline information isn't gonna do anything and just becomes a waste of data.
You never need to to that manually since the people who wrote the exporters automated that step. Manually Doing is only if you wanna inspect your
triangulation for whatever reason and is unhappy with the ways you already should be able to do so in your creation suite.
Any skilled game artist will move around their mesh and flip triangles manually as needed to optimize the...

Hello, old max user starting again with 3D. I used to model with edge extrusion, but nowadays I see people modeling characters with zbrush and then retopo (which make a bit more sense if you think of it).
So, what do you consider the best video tutorial for zbrush out there? I don't care even if it is 100 hours long! I want to learn zbrush.
>>527117
Im using this as a started to get used to the UI, pretty good so far

Consider the tutorials from pixologic themselves, they have a great variety ranging from beginner to advanced.

Arrimus 3D channel on YT, it has a lot of tutorials for both 3ds max (if you want to learn new stuff) and Zbrush
Is it worth upgrading from a 1080 monitor to a 4k one for making 3d stuff?
>>524972
no, it's actually stupid, cause your gpu will have to draw a lot more pixels
>>524972
Complete opposite. It's an absolutely terrible idea
>>524976
This. Woe is me for falling for a 4k laptop with 950m.
Almost ten years ago I started seriously getting into 3D work to get into the gaming industry as a character/organic modeller. I started drawing to study anatomy and such better and later switched to doing concept art/illustrations because I enjoyed it more.
Now I'm trying to get back into 3D work foremost because of personal interest but also because I might be able to combine both areas of expertise to make some cash on the side through e-shops. I'm already dabbling with ZBrush again and picked up Luxology Modo to complement it - it's crazy how much both...

look on gum road there are some good tutorials on there for any thing you want. of course you will have to pay unless you can find away around that.

I thought a lot of those CG peers torrents were honey pots.
What are some good books on human anatomy? I need something with both images and in-depth drawings of both young and old, male and female.

Hey guys, I'm learning to model and i need to practice, but nothing comes to mind...
would you guys help me?
Let's make it into a game.
you give me some ideas and i will do it and post it here.
but remenber i'm just starting, so nothing too complicated.
Let the games begin...
>>527321
> 3d modelling
> not complicated
pick one.
>>527321
If character design, model humans.
If objects, model vehicles and guns.
If you're not committed to finishing vehicles and guns then just model power tools or something.
>>527322
ikr
but what i ment is to not tell me to do a mech, or a complicated scene or anything crazy like that
just some ordinary objects is fine

To get good at creature design/sculpting you need to study anatomy
what can you study to get good at modeling mechanical, scifi, robotics modeling?
>>526537
Whatever you're trying to model. Are you trying to model a specific type of car? Study about that car. Doing a steam powered train? Study about the train. Learn what each part does.
>>526541
This.
>>526537
To make believable machines study engineering in the sense that you start to understand the elementary physics and have an armchair understanding about why real-world artifacts are designed the way they are.
If there is a though process behind the way you construct nonsensical mechanical devices that will help lend some degree of plausibility to it which in turn will make the design more believable.
