How much time is required to learn this shit?
3 years for me.
You'll never be a good modeler if you only have one program in your work flow too.
>>522385
What else do you recommend then?
>>522384
To do what?
- the resulting mesh is a shitload of crap
- triangles and ngons everywhere
- therefore pretty much unusable to UV map and texture
- can't be subdivided without fuck ugly glitches
- retopo afterwards to get a clean mesh negates the saved time
So what's the fucking point?
renders

>without textures
>with broken specular effects
Easy as shit to use booleans now, but I haven't used blender. Perhaps the devs haven't implemented updated algorithms.
WHERE CAN I TORRENT THE ARCHMODELS
i need them desperately, i lost them when my external hd died. They used to be so easy to find but no i cant find them. Anyone know where i can find the torrent?
>>522348
cgpeers.
registering opens on the 15th
>>522349
i know, but i need them DESPËRATELY, any place not private where i can find them?

How can so many programmers sell addons for Blender without making the source available?
Blender's license is viral, meaning the sources of your addons need also to be openly available.
Some I see sell them and have their source available (but unadvertised) on github but those are only a handful.
Are the others cheating or did I miss something here?
Because nobody really gives a shit and Blender Org has no means to enforce their rules.
>>522282
Blender users are just grateful for anything that makes their software usable.

>i'm too dumb to remember a handful of commands
then you should probably go back to play-doh
I remodeled my bathroom in maya / MR, and want to continue improving my interior modeling realism.. any glaring errors, or things you lot would suggest to look into? Be as mean as you want, but don't take that as an excuse to be excessively dickish, I know what you're like.
I would use vray but I can't afford it nor find a source for use with Maya 2015
too much chromatic aberration (why would this shot even have CA?)
camera position and FoV makes it feel like a security camera. Generally interior shots are more believable the closer the shot is to a human eye.
Too much bloom on the light to the left.
The carpet looks too "new". Try add some wear around the edges, like flattened parts.
reflections and basically everything feels too clean. add a mask to smudge some of the reflections.
Add some water in/on the sink / bath / tiles around the bath.
the edge of the window has some weird linear dodge effect.

What a depressing bathroom

>reflections and basically everything feels too clean.
Not everyone is a disgusting basement dweller like you.
Anybody know what the best software is for making 3d models that can then be turned into inflatable toys or stuffed animals? Figured I could make some money at conventions selling stuffed Spider-Mans or some shit, of a better quality than pic related.

you'll get reported very quick and you'll lose all you put into it and thousands more

People sell fanwank bullshit at cons all the time. Artists sell drawings of copyrighted characters, for instance. They don't really give a shit.
Make a few for yourself, show them off on a website, and make more on commission. That's much safer. Cons are risky and a gray area. Some companies care, others don't. Some care about certain things and not others.
Yeah, people do it all the time, but con booths get shut down more often and get in more trouble than bloggers making commission work.
I love the aesthetic of 90's 3D animation. Something is just there, that you don't see anymore in CGI. I've been thinking about buying one of these old SGI workstations to use Quicksoft 3D or some other classic CGI software on. Is that a good idea?
>Any experience with these Computers?
>Any reccommended software to try out?

This is fucking retarded dude. If you want to learn how to do shit from the 90's, study hand drawn animations, cel animation, use a VCR to run footage through. Don't waste your money on shit like this. You can create anything in new systems
>>518676
some people want a self contained retro solution that they can just plug in and go without booting up some retarded nu skool programs / os
>>518665
speaking as someone who happen to do stuff in the 1990's.
I'll explain how you model something, you either use a very expensive program that was very hard to use.
Or.
You write the model in a text editor, You write out each point for the model assuming you did everything correctly it should work.
Need help with my model, the normals that i just baked have theses funky artfiacts on them and i don't know why.
In maya.
>>522069
low poly
>>522070
high poly
they look exactly the same.
why the fuck are you baking?
I figure this would be the best place to ask.
I'd really like to get into making anime figurines (sexy girls, really)
I know I can sculpt a cutie on zbrush, now, I want to 3d print the model, and eventually airbrush it to look like a legit finished figure.
The idea is to print off a solid plastic figure to sand and paint (pic related)
Are there any known tutorials, resources, information on this subject? ie, what 3dprinter to use, how to configure the model for printing.
There is a large community for "garage kits" so I am not...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
The main thing you should be looking at is the precision of the printer. 50 microns is about the width of an A4 paper but there are printers that can print with 10 micron precision. It's literally impossible to see any stepping artifacts with those. Some of the 200 micron printers are good and cheap as well but they show clear stepping artifacts so you'll have to decide what kind of tradeoff you wanna do.
I suggest you look at the series for Makerbot, Replicator, Zortrax and Ultimaker.
>>521890
Couldn't you just use the 200~ and sand it a bit?
Do you guys have plugins, textures, models, etc that can help me model the inside of a spaceship?
I need to model pic related in 3ds Max for next week and I don't know where to start
>>519723
Here's a cockpit thingy that goes in front of the first pic
All of that stuff can be modeled using primitives, the bend modifier and splines. No plugins needed.
need it for what exactly?

Memesters of /3/. Post your 3D memes or create some then post em.

So can we finally end this meme that Blender isn't a serious 3D software?

He could've spent a bit more time on the parachute, although he said that it was done sloppy on purpose.
Anyway, yeah, it's sometimes amazing what the fucking community would put out as addons. I recently found out there was a tree generation addon, which is a fucking beast, you can create a realistic library of trees in just one day, or maybe download it as a preset, I mean, it's not speedtree, but in the hands of a pro, there wouldn't be difference.

yes please
A well trained eye that can spot any obvious anatomy mistakes? :) Trying to improve so any input would be appreciated.
From behind
Legs too short, hips too wide. Upper body is perfect.
Hey, how's this facial topology?
How can I retopo this to be better for animation?
>>520406
make dick in face is no joke
Sup 3,
What is your stl editor of choice for 3D printing? Ive seen all the links to free tools and some not-so-expensive ones but which one is easy to use, optimize the wall thickness for inner surfaces (if its adjustable), or just have good edit-ability in general?
Is blender or meshlab really that powerful? Sketchup plugins? Post your preference and experiences pls...
I will suck your dick for a thousand afterlives.
This is 3D CG m8,
Not saying no one will help you, but I don't see much related to computer generated graphics in your question.
/g/ would probably be of a better help
>>520523
I think this is more to do w 3D CAD than general tech.... i dont need to know whats new in 3D printing, but rather what programs ya'll using for optimizing 3D prints.
Do you CAD? Ever make .stls?
>>520523
implying 3d printing doesn't have anything to do with 3d.
you fucking idiot.
get off this board.
