this is my first fully complete character for a game im making called santa the molester.
it's just a learning experience, and I'm going to redo in the future.
Critic pls
>>522060
Why is starting from a 4000-something vertex cube to a high res character then back down to a normal mapped low poly so satisfying?
>>522058

you could at least try...
any other box modelers here? how do I get even topology like this?
>>522068
who is this cutie
>>522062
>quads
fucking retard, alwayds post polycount in tris
>>522068
That's not even even topology?
>>522068
that topology isn't capable of being animated. It's 50% triangles. The face has literally no edge flow following any topology guidelines.
Plus it's fucking triangles.
Maya has good topology tools, but I 100% use 3D coat.
There's like a torrent of 3D coat with maybe 3 seeders. If you want to retopo, get it quick.
>>522086

>>522090
that topo is 100% animatable, all the triangles are there for a reason,and you can still see the edge loops clearly
>>522114
dude if you show this to anyone who knows anything about topology, it will be mocked.
This is trash.
There is zero edge flow in the face.
This isn't a good topo even remotely.
>>522115
low poly, don't know the needs and restrictions of the model, assuming facial anim would be blinking and basic expressions it is fine, the model has clearly been triangulated and the resolution is too small to see the underlying topology of the face before it was triangulated
>>522090
all topology is triangles. every polygon mesh you've ever seen animated is triangles being animated. edge loops still exist within a triangulated mesh. the fact that the faces are split into tris means absolutely nothing when it comes to deformation.
>>522117

As a rigger who has worked on a shit ton of models in my experience, this is more than fine and you're just a retard
You do realise quads are two triangles right? Please tell me you know that literally every quad are triangles at the end of it all, right? Literally all those triangles are to ensure that the quad is calculated properly in heavier rotation and deformation areas (So the quad won't suddenly flip the triangle orientation in certain deformations)
You can clearly see the quad flow throughout the whole mesh, and what seem like odd structures in the mid of common joints (such as between hip and knee, knee and ankle, shoulder to elbow, etc will have 3 joints, starting, mid and end) are points which help when skinning rotation of the limb
Hip topo is for controlling hip volume better since that way it's easier to skin the hips to the U loops on the sides,
Why do idiots who know nothing become so vocal about being a retarded cunt?

Actually he's right and you're wrong. GPUs work with tris, so do cpus. Quads are just easier to use, cause you can subdivide them, you can't do that with triangles. Tris is the only kind of face used for rendering both realtime(games, viewport) and not realtime, except when there aren't any faces at all, like in pointcloud based models, or parametric models(which are rendered with triangles too).

>>522196
Who said it's an all-quad mesh?
>>522195
Actually, you are wrong. The Sega Saturn did not work with tris at all, and it’s rendering GPU (the VDP2), was not capable of drawing them, or even actual polygons at all. It used affine transformation on sprite vertices to simulate quadrangular polygon meshes- the only way to make an actual triangle on the screen was to draw a sprite, affine transform the vertices, and collapse two of the verts into the same location. This, for example, is why you have texturing issues on the first big boulder you see in the first level of Tomb Raider on the Saturn- the texture is distorted by this process. Incidentally, however, this is also why you don’t see texture warping near the camera in Saturn games, while you do in PS games- the 4 point affine transformation makes the interpolation less likely to calculate with errors, vs the 3 point transformation the PS used. See pic- the left is the PS1 version, right is SS. If you look at the wall on the left side of the screen in both caps, you’ll see on the SS version the pixels have straight edges whereas on the PS1 wall, they have a fairly pronounced ripple. This is due to the lower precision triangular affine transformation.
>>522199
> was not capable of drawing them, or even actual polygons at all
>even actual polygons
> It used affine transformation on sprite vertices to simulate quadrangular polygon meshes
You aren't describing a triangulated polygon mesh. None of your comment is relevant.
All you've done is refute the statement that
>GPUs work with tris, so do cpus.
with a fringe case of technology that is not longer used.
And still that statement ^ is true. GPUs work with tris. So do CPUs.
>>522068
This mesh still has edge flow. It still deforms as intended. The triangles still don't mean shit.
>>522090
and this guy is still an idiot.
>>522180

>>522199
>The sega saturn.
Yeah, we're totally talking about the fucking sega saturn, you dumb assshit. Also, you're talking about rasterizing. Learn the terms.
Also, the way you constructed your sentence makes no sense, cause it sounds ambiguous. First, gpus, well except for vector based monitors, were never capable of drawing polygons.
Second,
>affine transformation on sprite vertices to simulate quadrangular polygon meshes
this sentence makes no sense, what you probably meant is:
>affine transformaton on sprite "vertices", in order to simulate triangles with quads
A fast google check confirms that's what you meant.
In the end, you tried to sound smart, but came in like a stupid namefag with your retarded ambiguous sentences that make no sense. You shouldn't try to act smart, if you don't know what the shit you're talking about and if you know, at least learn your terms. You could've just said.
>While you're right that tris is and always was the main type of polygon that gpus worked with, there was a time where a quad based gpus existed and even a major console that used them.
And then, you could've just said.
>A fun fact is, in sega saturn they had to make a quad with one of the edges length 0, in order to simulate a triangle.
Also, educate yourself on what rasterizing is and how gpus never draw polygons at all.

Took me a couple years to get where I am. No school. Then again, I was never really avidly modeling, and what I'm doing now is fairly basic.

don't do this. classes in digital 3d stuff are in a lot of ways a waste of money aside from networking or getting instruction and insight from a serious industry vet if they're teaching the course (not as likely as you'd hope). some hardcore industry vets do move to education and most competent schools will have a few on hand but it's a crapshoot.
i'd instead recommend taking courses to learn foundation art skills. 2d design, drawing, painting, sculpture, that sort of thing. most community colleges offer foundation art courses and programs and they're a great resource. it may sound like a waste of time but having a wider tool set of general artistic understanding and ability will help you a lot in any 3dcg efforts you pursue.

that's pretty good advice. I just finished a degree with with a school that had industry vets in both foundation and full time courses and I felt there would be no way I'd be where I am if it wasn't for their help and advice.
It's still funny to see how most people manage to fuck even that up, like 90% of our class dropped out because they were lazy and 60% of the people who are left won't ever work in the industry because they either never turned up and ignored critisism or just coasted.
Then again I know some people in the industry who went to a real shitty school but still ended up being successful.
TL;DR: it's not what course it is, its how hard you work, and even if you work hard a shitty course is worth more than autodidact

Can I ask some questions too?
1. How do I get the shadows/edges harder on this armor? I've tried lots of edge hardening and normal averaging and shit and this is as distinguished as I can get it. Do I need different colors/materials to make it stand out or should it be able to be as obvious as it should be just with basic lambert boloney?
2. Why do quads or tris only matter? I was told to keep it all one or the other but never the reason why. This guy is wholly quads and correct edge numbers and that's how I model, but I don't know why.
3. Mixamo gave all their animations away a while ago and I got all the ones I could ever think about using, but I'm not sure how to take what I have and rig it so it works with what they have. I can animate in maya but I've never rigged so I don't know if I need to exactly match what mixamo does or if it would be easier to rig and animate it on my own. How hard is rigging and applying animations?
4. Is it possible to apply different UV maps to the same object? I'd like to get a lot of detail going but I don't think that's possible without cutting corners if I do it all in one UV. Could I make one for the shoulder armor, then one for the chest, then one for the helmet, etc?
5. Thanks for any answers you can give me, I'm very much self-taught and I was never told the real do's and do-not's.
>>522593
Dude, we can't critique what we can't see. Just show us it with neutral lighting then you can get all moody with it.
>>522606
Show us your wires.
>>522606
1 select edges to harden -> mesh display -> harden edge
2 quads are optimal because they can be smoothed by splitting into 4 smaller quads. mesh -> smooth your model and see how it looks. Undo it. Now use multicut and make a few random quads into two tris. smooth it again see what happens. Usually game engines will convert your models to tris because they're mathematically easier to work with and it's not like it's going to be smoothed in game.
3 depends on the quality of animations you do. If you already have animations, look into humanIK and you can transfer animations to your model.
4 yes. Open UV - UV editor -> UV sets. More UV sets will allow you to have a higher resolution, but this is obviously more expensive. You have to decide the balance.

Draw the rest of the fucking owl
>>522873
Nice, but the grip is way too curved. Are you using reference?
>>522707
Fuck yeah, SolidWorks.
>>522873
As somebody pointed out your handle is too curved. There's also a leaf spring at the side of the pistol that holds the hammer in the half and full cocked positions, it's missing on yours as well as the ram rod.
The pan needs to be horizontal. A pan that's angled like that would end up dumping the primer powder when you pressed the trigger causing a misfire.
That's one of the things they get wrong a lot in movies. They'll show people holding flintlocks straight up over their head and pulling the trigger to fire it because it looks dramatic. Do it in real life and you'll end up with a spark and a lot of black powder dumped on your head.
>>522942
no wait the leaf spring holds the strike plate open of closed, the hammer is held by an internal mechanism. The strike plate needs to be closed to fire.
Black powder weapons are a lot of fun. I actually find them more fun to fire than modern weapons. You can get working modern reproductions for under $2000. I've always wanted to try hunting with one. I imagine it would be a challenge to hunt birds in flight because you can't aim up as high with a flintlock musket as you can with a modern cartridge firearm.
>>522927
Actually there were some pistols with that kind of grip. I can't image they'd be that comfortable to fire.
>>522944
But they where excellent when you flipped em over to use as a club or hooking device when scaling a ship.
>>522948
Not to mention they'd probably be less likely to slide out of your belt.
>>522927
Yes of course, here's the reference
>>522953
Okay it looks like the pan isn't actually tilted but has one side with a higher edge, probably a weather guard to keep the wind from blowing away your powder before it could ignite as well as catching falling sparks and channeling them into the pan.
So I made the high poly, then the low poly, after that I spent hours unwrapping the bitch and finally baked maps. Painting next, skinning, animating.

as in material presets. Which you just admitted to. You have no skill kid

You do understand how Substance Painter works right?
Why do I need skill to justify anything? Did I make a claim about it/ how skilled I am?
I don't want to spend a long time on this small project hense why I used Materials that come with Substance Painter... A program where you use Materials to paint things, I could spend hours creating materials in designer just for this but it isn't on the cards, I've got a job and other things to work on.
Why am I justifying myself haha.
>>523048
At least spend some time to throw some smart materials and blends on there so its not so obvious you did 3 clicks in painter and called it a day. I've seen other people take on these guys and even a base or something for them to stan on would go a long way

I think you should work on your form before you work on textures.
Make a more detailed model. In fact, why don't you just pirate ZBrush and sculpt a sheet of cloth out of individual fibers? Apply the normal map of that cloth to a single quad in a regular 3D modeling program and then go to town on it with photoshop.
Maybe then you will get inspired.

your back anatomy is weird, especially the upper back. i dont have time to point out it all but look closely at some ref images and how the muscles flow there. from the side view the flow from the neck down to the midsection doesnt feel quite right, like look at ref and see how the shoulderblades should affect the curve. the front looks like a better start, although your topology is kind of questionable in some places. i think you should look at more ref for the front as well cause some of the indentations and flows dont feel quite right.

basically what other guy said. also your material needs bump/normal work so as to break up the specularity. it looks like a plastic toy. give more overall color variation to the base as well, even subtle gradients can help. this also applies to the ship, all the wood looks exactly the same. if its just a still image you can do some work in post. also the base color seems kinda noisy, usually you want to avoid/localize that and keep the high contrast for the other maps. the flag looks good. the bg is kinda vague, where is this exactly? i can see you put in good effort though so keep going
>>523008
its old so i wont critique it but its pretty cool.
>>522983
i cant believe you're still here. you've gotten better though. but work on that skin material it looks like plastic.
>>522980
nice, skinning and animating what?
>>522784
curious why disable perspective? I'm not a modeler so im wondering.
>>522459
the ass feels like it pokes out and lacks natural roundness. from the left view, the wrinkles on the boots look kinda bad
>>522448
cool
>>523239
Looks like a bad case of haemorrhoids

Anyone wondering why /3/ still wants to be a blue board should remember this day when furry-anon decided to post progress on his centaur vagina/anus fan art.
>>523260
Why do you keep sculpting a gaping hole when the reference is clearly puckered, more akin to a nipple?
>>523261
Also this. Furries are disgusting. That anus looks disgusting.
>>523260
its not thta your model is bad. its that your reference looks like a disease
>>523261
Holy shit, it got taken down w/3/ actually have a new janitor now?
>>523246
>your back anatomy is weird, especially the upper back. i dont have time to point out it all but look closely at some ref images and how the muscles flow there. from the side view the flow from the neck down to the midsection doesnt feel quite right, like look at ref and see how the shoulderblades should affect the curve. the front looks like a better start, although your topology is kind of questionable in some places. i think you should look at more ref for the front as well cause some of the indentations and flows dont feel quite right.
Thanks, anon. Any suggestions on how to consistently get a good topology flow when working, or do you know of any tutorials or works that are good examples?
:^)
>>523282
I think when I first learned how to polymodel a body I used that joan of arc 3d tutorial, if you google it you'll find it. but honestly it's pretty annoying to try to think about topology while modeling. I would pick up sculpting, it will allow you to focus on the form more and then worry about edge flow later.
>>523295
the render looks good but you can work on the shader/texture. the fade/gradient doesn't feel quite realistic to me. and maybe if every cup wasn't exactly the same it would make it better.
>>523303
sorry, i realize that the pattern is different. still, i would play around more with changing up the top gradient a bit to see if it improves it
>>523303
>sculpting
That's a thing, yes. The few tutorials I've seen always had the workflow of "boxmodel ->subsurface modifier -> sculpt -> fix topology".
Thanks again, anon!
>>522987
I like doing the highpoly first, because the most shapes are piss easy to derive from a highpoly compared to having to "unwind" the triangle-heavy lowpoly into a proper subdivision cage again.
>>522982
why is it reflecting what is under the armor on the other side of the armor?
>>523309
wrong pic
>>523247

The weapon ofcourse
IS WIP the beginner topic of /3/? I'm thinking of starting a beginner's general on this board but I want to know if this place already has one.
>>523317
yeah, pretty much
>>523317
This place is slow as hell so just use this thread.
>>523036
Enter the Gungeon is very well know in the indie scene. Also it does "mean shit" if someone working for me called this their original concept I would fire them.
That being said I think he did a good job anyway
>>523199
anatomy is bad, sculpt don't poly model things like this
How is this looking? Ignore the materials, I still have to work on them
>>523334
>Enter the Gungeon is very well know in the indie scene.
>the indie scene.
the what
>>523348
The Indie scene. Are you retarded?
Retopo of DVA all quads no pesky triangles
>>523316
sorry, I don't do any games work, do you still have to use bones even if it's a non-deforming object for it to work in engine?
>>523365
neat
some of that topo is atrocious, though
>>523373
Yes, even when it doesn't deform you need to use bones to be able to paint weight.
>>523365
I dont think eye loops are supposed to look like that
>>523389
you dont have to paint weights for some things. You can just parent meshes to bone with no weights
>>523373
Animation of solid objects that do not deform may or may not use any bones depending on how you set it up.
For instance if you have a robotic arm or something you can use the transform pivots of the objects themselves linked together to make up the animation system.
Bones are really just pivots without any geometry attached to them. The objects featured in programs like max and maya named 'bones' are just convenient to use as such objects included.
>>523392
Can you put spline controls on something like that? Animators will not even touch something with no controls
>>523391
But what if I need a bone for the weapon and one for the ammo for example? They are both the same mesh
>>523395
you should not have made them the same mesh. What if in the game you want to have spent magazines on the floor? if its the same mesh you cant do that
Trying to get in to character modeling with this mutant/alien type guy. I think its coming out alright there is still plenty of work to do. Any crits will be helpful
>>523399
Start with a human. That way you can easily tell where you've fucked up, and you have a goal to work towards. As it is that terrible anatomy can be justified with "it's an alien."
doing body later on
>>523246
>red
Really? I was thinking either a navy blue or a deep lilac. Generally something that goes good with the brass trim.
But I guess red would be nice. Might look too much like Iron Man though.
Also, I've officially decided that Walschaerts valve gear is way out of my league.
>>523365
breh. can I get a close up on the nose on the side view?
>>522062
Where is his penis ?
>>523400
can you tell me whats terrible instead of just saying that it is?
Thoughts?
>>523444
what is it supposed to be ? abstract art ?
>>523445
It's still WIP. I'm messing with the materials
