i'm making modular assets with tileable textures. the thing is i make textures in substance painter and when i'm done they are not tiling properly. for example this asset. i highlighted the edges that i want to tile seamlesly. how do i make them tile properly?
manually map the texture on the uv-map
use photoshop to make the texture seamless on the edges
this is basic stuff drop substance painter
Yeah, a painting program, such as Substance or 3DCoat, wont do. You're looking at some careful manual work here.
Or you could hide the seam with some other geometry, such as a bump along the seam line of the same concrete material as in your existing picture, while making it look like it's supposed to be there anyway.
Or... but as a Max user I dont know how to do this in Blender... you could use two maps for the model, one is for your tiling bricks and one is for your more unique parts like edging and wooden bits. Then you assign them to different map-channels...

just use two materials if you don't want to tweak your UVs.
Use one material for bricks and another one for other parts.
The brick part should cover whole area, use snap to grid to align corner vertices. That way it will tile. Check with proper checker texture before applying something else.
If you must use one texture for everything, then watch some substance videos on texture atlas creation.
i am trying to make an origami folding animation but i am having trouble due to the very small amount of polygons and vertices.
i tried bones,but could not get it to work
tried selecting the vertices and rotating along along an edge but it deformed it.
i feel like this should be easier
i'd assume you'll have to use subds or nurbs
i have tried using the bend modifier but i am still not getting a clean enough fold
>>520628
so you are saying i need more polygons just so that i can fold it?
I'm planing on making plastic crap to see in my city, like some action figures of the NT soccer team and making some basic action figure of each national soccer club.
Any guy here who works in manufacturing can explain the process?
Let's say I make the model on zbrush, what then?
how do I take it to something I can produce in mass scale?
>>520607
ask /diy/
>>520608
they just told me to come here.
>>520609
check /diy/ archives
>hey bro I didn't go to class last week. do you know how to do this assignment? it says I need to edit the poly. what the fuck is that?
>man fuck this teacher. what a fucking idiot. he doesn't know how to teach and we don't even need to learn this program for anything!
Don't worry bro. I'll do that task for you.
Only for $199 :^)
>>520561
mfw when my entire class is like this
>>520561
normies everywhere
Looking for some constructive crit, dont be too harsh..
obviously a wip
its nice
but what is it
its just a bunch of cylinders. Literally looks like a windpipe. Very little skill demonstrated besides bash together, mirror, chrome shader

its the beginning of a robot

thnx
I saw this old computer animated short from around 2007 ish (on YouTube) that I just can't find anywhere. It's about an old man who receives a box in the mail that contains a the city he lives next to, and is able to manipulate what happens to it by dropping a ball on it among other things. He then plants it next to some flowers towards the end. Please, does anyone know what it's called?
The old guy, along with the short, looks like pic related.
Geris game faggot

Was it 'Delivery' ?
Hi /3/,
I saw pic related the other day and started wondering is it enough if you have a mouse with a lot of buttons and different functions assigned to them or a Wacom is the way to go?
I know Wacom is used for sculpting and sketching and shit but is it a good tool while modeling?
>modeling with a pen
are you daft?
Tools don't make the artist. Honestly, Michelangelo could sculpt the same things with a scapel ducttaped to his dick.
>>519667
Sculptor here. Tried modeling with a pen, it's shite. This is why I do low poly in Zbrush now.
I see lots of people shitting on 3DCG animated series like FF7 advent children and RWBY, but I've always thought 3DCG looked really nice. What are your favorite 3DCG movies?

I still can't forget the Final Fantasy movie I saw in 2001. It was like the first realistic CGI movie I saw. Thinking back I think it might be what inspired me to start 3D.
Appleseed alpha was pretty dank visually
btw rwby is pure shit.
>>520140
Watched many of them as reference studying what's being done and how. Not come across one that I actually enjoyed as a movie.
They are like these long cutscenes from a game with semi shitty (to very shitty) plots and cheesy staging and dialogue.
RWBY is of course cringe tier 'western-weeb' derivative of the worst kind of anime.
It's what happens when someone who lacks references from outside manga/anime attempts to tell a story.
Hi, I just got into 3D modelling about a month ago and I'm really loving it. This is my most recent project. What do you think /3/?
What is some advice you could give for somebody who just started modelling? What would've been something you'd wish you'd knew?
find your endgame soon as possible
if your purpose is too make high quality renderings, you are gonna spend alot of time figuring out rendering because its like a different field of expertise
if you want to model for games (real-time) then rendering shouldn't concern you
Well if you just started this isn't a bad start.
The model could use some smoothing though. Look up subdivisions and know when and where to use them appropriately. Pretty much every 3D software out there allows a mesh to be subdivided procedurally (some just simply call it "smoothing"), so learn where it is on your preferred software.
If you're going to be a good 3D artist then you better read up on rendering jargon and thoroughly perform render tests on your own time. You'll never stop learning about this. Renderers are constantly being improved,...
