Hi /3/,
I was wondering if someone here sells 3D stuff in sites like turbosquid, and makes a good living of it.
Hearded stories about people with 500 - 1000 models to sell online, making something like 3k dollars a month. Or even more.
Whats your opinion about it? Can you make a living selling 3D and working as a freelancer?
>>502273
make hentai games or animate game characters getting fucked by 9 inch dicks and release it for $9 and someone then will distribute it across /gif/ and /h/ totalling a whole $9
That seens an amazing oportunity. Gotta give it a try lool
depends on your skill.
Hello my friends.
Whats the hardest stuff you find in 3D modeling?
And why?
For me its the hands and foot... using Dynamesh in ZBrush to model a hand/feet its soo damn hard. You need to move things, inflate, and see proportion, and then move more, and inflate to get to the shape, and when youre going to see the result, its like a fuking alien raptor hand instead of human hand....
face likeness
or realistic cloth
facial structure with decent topology
face, hands and feet
post art like this.

Blender 2.75 low poly cycles. What do you think? Hit me.
Pretty good. You did a pretty good job with the lighting. The only thing I could complain about is that there is very little going on in this scene. But otherwise it's pretty good
Its good. As the anon said here, theres just a few things in the scene, ao it doesnt looks that omg this is amazing.
But its cool, i like this kinda of low poly art.
>>503334
Given it's in the Blender tutorial "Low poly" style, I think it's uninspired tripe.
I made a film. It was the film I wanted to make and not intended to please anyone but myself.

If I don't get rich and famous from this maybe I will make something people want to see.
Camera shots are too long/slow and nothing happens for minutes, noones going to watch if nothing happens. Needs audio, you could add some distorted music and some mic recordings(also distorted)
If its some reference to the book that it is boring or writen in an slow lengthy long-winded fashion I dont get it.
Also I remember you posting you are working on your short film some year/s ago. Is thats what you have been doing since? Come on.
>>501248
I made the film I wanted to make. In the future I may decide to make a film that will make other people happy.
if u are pleased with this pure bullshite then everything is fine i guess.
do what you like even if its shit since nobody cares anyway in the end
Okay /3/ so what's the best software for uv mapping game assets? From what i know c4d sucks at this point and there's not much tuts for it either
blender
>>503937
Heads uv layout is cool when it's not crashing. And roadkill is equivilent.
But frankly I use the uv master plug in in zbrush and tinker with it.
>>503938
>blender
These jokes. Funny men.
@OP, 3DS Max and Maya are currently the best (Maya is a little less autistic of an interface though). I've heard 3DCoat has pretty nice UV unwrap tools as well, but that program is developed by religious nutjobs who don't want you making anything "sinful" with their software.
Does anyone have experience with 3D in Photoshop?
I'm texturing a obj., and for some reason the texture keeps disconnecting from the model. Instead, a new file is created in the temporary items folder and it forces me to save and reimport everything. Its really annoying.
Anyone know what could cause this?
maybe you mtl file to differ between the different parts if your model
>>503863
Come again - you think it would work better if I saved the textures as mtl? I'm currently working with psd or psd files.
Animation student here, yeah I know it's shit skip over that.
I have a problem with the output. Max shows me in the renderer that everything is perfect, just the way I, a shitty animation student, want it. Then, when I access the output-ed file, I get this shit. It isn't the gamma I already tried adjusting it.
What the fuck is wrong with it?
>>503724
Looks like you're saving it at 256 colors. Try .tif
>>503728
I actually just tried that and it didn't work. It looks like the rendering works just fine as I can tell by the individual preview images look fine. But once I try to run them in the RAM video viewer it messes the picture quality up
OP here.
I guess what I am really trying to do is compile my animation into a video format that can be used in a video editor.
I have tried a preview animation, it looked all pixelly, as well as rendering freame by frame then compiling the frames in the RAM player (result is picture).
Is there an easier way to do this? My professor never actually taught us how to do this shit so I am on my own and have been trying to figure it out via shitty youtube videos that don't actually help me.
Text it's a little bit too bright and maybe the tridimensionality of it it's not so underlined. Any other tips?
>>503672
Looks 2d text slapped on a 2d photo senpai
>>503676
Yes, I need to make the tridimensionality of the text more evident, because it is actually a 3D text. Maybe a bigger value of the extrude nurb will be enough to fix it.
What do you think about the shadow? Should I made it more evident too?
>>503672
Make its material less reflective/luminant.
Being in a clear, sunny day in the desert the text should cast a strong, sharp shadow. Also the text should be slightly blurry, matching the focus of the camera (but that's in post and you're not there yet).
Tell me, Anon. Did you ever hear the tragedy of Perpetual Licenses?
>>503642
I thought not its not a story a Subscription user would tell you.
Sup, /3/.
I just finished up a sculpt for a concept creature. I'm no good, and I know this. I just do this for fun. I'm looking for critiques to make this creature just a little more convincing and interesting.
Next time round, I'll be trying to pay closer attention to humanoid anatomy, get rid of the head tendrils, probably dome out the skull a bit more, and be sure to put actual eyes in.
and from the back
upper head is bigger than lower part
eyes and nose are 75% of the face
spine is all the way up to the head, it should stop in the back, then curve a space for the neck
eyes are really small for such a big head
>>503604
its hard to critiques something that barely has any believable anatomy and is moosh as fuck. it shows that you know almost nothing about sculpting
High school inventor noob here. I was using NACA airfoils before, but then I found some problems that I don't know if are actually problems. The fact that the camber line is made from two parabolas that are pieced together at the point of maximum camber means that the two curves on the upper surface are only first degree smooth with each other. Same with the two curves on the lower surface. Also, the two curves that intersect at the leading edge are only second degree smooth with each other. I tried to make my own airfoil where the surfaces are made from one, continuously-changing...

We get it. You know lots of big words.
Ask your teacher, nerd.
>>503390
/sci/ might be more interested in this, all /3/ ever thinks about is zbrushing their waifus.
Is there a way to make visible construction lines when lighting using any 3D software? Kinda like pic related. You can see where the light ray touches the object to plot the cast shadow.
why would this be usefull, you can just use shadow preview
>>503296
Helps me understand better. So, is there a way?
>>503295
If you use CAD software - its simply sketched lines.
For overs - just make a visible edge from a lightsource
Is Houdini a good idea to start with this whole 3D thing ?
And what are your general thoughts about it ?
It seems so much better than the other ones.
No. Houdini is both too "low-level" for the noob and too "high-level" for anyone with a clue.
>>502987
For hero characters? No
For environments and procedural modelling of said things? Yes.
Depends what you want to do, but you'll probably be better starting with another general 3D package to get the basics of the medium down
>>502987
Maya is really the best package these days to get into 3D. The workflows are simple, the UI is easy to use and organized now, and it's the best all-around package now. It also has a shit tonne of learning resources for it.
Is AutoCAD part of /3/? I bet it fucking is.
How come when subtracting an extruded circle from an object the said object is deleted while volume it uses is not subtracted from the main object?
What am I doing wrong?
>>501093
bump for op
can't help
>>501095
Well I feel silly.
All I had to do was subtract the insides of guitar when it was 0.1 units lower than the outside of guitar. Otherwise this happens.
And All I had to do was render the whole deal.
>>501093
You might wanna try Rhino. It's still a CAD, but much more /3/ oriented.
