>Expressions seem from mocap
Mocap is a blunt tool that's good for fluid movements done quickly, it might've had mocap as a reference but it needs animators to fiddle and unfuck a lot it to make it look nice.

Yeah. There's a lot of games where you can see they tried to just capture the actor's face and it looks off.

I'm an animator who works in Maya, fairly new but with a couple of years industry experience. I'd be keen to start doing some animated porn, but I'm pretty average at modeling and garbage at rigging.
SFM has all these rigged characters freely available all over the damn place but I cant find shit for Maya. I've tried converting SFM files but the rigs are completely broken every time.
Is there anywhere on the whole internet I can get some nice rigged models in FBX format for porn? Anywhere at all?
>>514522

one word: baking.
anything is possible with a pentagon supercomputer, it basically renders only one snapshot and puts the final render as an overlayed texture instead of rendering every moving single frame seperately
>>532023
LeeteRR doesnt have an pentagon supercomputer
He have patience & inspiration to animate like that.
thats why we never seen LeteeRR makes 10 or 30 seconds loop animations.

>SFM render better than Maya & Blender ?
I honestly hope you're exaggerating because SFM cannot achieve anything close enough to be called photorealistic, where as literally every other professional modelling suite (+ Blender) can achieve it, just a matter of enabling some features and setting it up properly
>>535916
I was talking about leeterr, but I've found a few out there that are in the same situation too.
so you're saying if I want to make SFM stuff, and if I wanted to make that dirty patreon money I should paywall all my stuff behind a shitload of tiers of content?
All this raffle shit on aardvark's seems ridiculous. Do people actually buy into this garbage?
Also all the WIP and "behind the scenes" shit seems counter-productive. It's like they're paying him to post shit and generally just dick around instead of actually finish his animations.
Like he legitimately went out of his way to go block several people on his patreon that hadn't been paying.
I get that it's his job, but we're talking about maybe 50$ at most that he wasn't "losing" to begin with.
It's just so strange to me that people like leeterr do it for free in their spare time, whereas it's literally Aardvark's job.
>>535944

You sound like you've got it all worked out. I say go for it.
People often ask about making money in these threads. They usually disappear, presumably to spend time rolling around in heaps of hundred dollar bills. Also, a lot of people point out how easy it is to make porn, but I guess they don't post anything because they're worried about showing up the crap artists who do post.
>>542631
>a lot of people point out how easy it is to make porn
Making porn isn't easy.
Making loops is incredibly easy, which is what most SFM content is.
Your average 5 minute porn animation will have around 7200 frames in it.
Where a loop will generally have between 24-120.
I could make a decent quality loop in an afternoon, but a longer animation could take literally months depending on the length.
I have a pretty large amount of respect for porn animators that make animations longer than 1-2 minutes, that aren't just 2-3 loops stitched together.
So pretty much with a few notable exceptions, the SFM porn community is lazy as fuck. It's still one of the best, but it's lazy as fuck.
>>542968
>Making loops is incredibly easy
making bad loops is incredibly easy
fixd m8
>>516364
Unusually poor quality for LeeteRR
>>514542
that damn rad roach makes me laugh
This is my first attempt at SFM lewding
I haven't figured out hair, facial stuff, camera stuff and lighting, but it's pretty fun. If you have any tips or pointers, you're welcome.
Also up for ideas/requests since I'm still fucking around anyway. Lemme know what you think
>>549716
Why the fuck do people use that god awful manface? It's a bigger boner killer than scat.
>>543463
But that webm is great.
>>526530
I like that Peach.
>>527409
how is it that one site is okay with it but the other isn't?
>>549716
Hair bones are either in their own category, or under the Unknown tab. Right-click the animation set editor and hit "show hidden controls" to see the Unknown tab. I only move the hair around when there's clipping, since a lot of newer models have gravity-reactive jiggleboned hair. If they don't have that, animating the hair that the viewer sees can make the animation that much better.
Also, the biggest tip I could give is to offset everything. Almost nothing should be perfectly in sync. I typically offset spine movements by 3 -6 frames each, depending on how fast the animation is. Everything is a lot more fluid that way.
Also, if you're going for a more realistic approach, either use reference or mime stuff out to see how bodies move.
>>549758
Thanks senpai, will try
>>549731
i agree, this guy is on weed
>>549758
By the way, is there an easy way to get a smile for example?
This face is like rigged with 100 bones or so, would be handy to get at least a template smile or something
>>549928
A lot of models have face flexes to make good facial expression easier, but you have to mess with the sliders to get what you want. You can also finely tune the face using the face bones themselves, either under the Face tab or in Unknown.
Some people only use face bones, but it's whatever's better for you.
>>550161
I'll have to look into flexes, I tried a bit with the bones for now. Compression is a bit shitty.
Shit's pretty fun until some partially locked rig spazzes out. Natural movements are hard though.
>>550198
Practice and use reference. The fact that you're making actual animations makes you better than a lot of SFM porn makers I see on Tumblr, so that's awesome. Plus, your lighting is good for someone who just started out. Just make it a bit brighter around the areas you want people to focus on.
>>550257
>he fact that you're making actual animations makes you better than a lot of SFM porn makers
How do other porn makers do it then?
>>550282
Still pictures. Sometimes they do photosets instead of animations.

I wish leeterr did commissions.
>>521629
clipping and shitty voice acting ruin their otherwise good renders.
>>552280
I understand wanting to be one, more than wanting to be with one.
Also, Mini-GTS is Master Race.
>>550257
>>550287
Here is my latest attempt, I think I'm slowly getting the hang of it.
I was wondering though, a lot of animations have some lens flare, DoF or other post processing (>>542787 >>551546 >>536310), is that something you can add in SFM too, or is that done with another program?
Also, for some reason rendering makes the whole thing darker or something, pretty annoying.
>>554815
It might be easier to do it with regular post-processing, but it's possible to do some of it in SFM itself. I know there's a lens flare model on SFMLab and there are settings for DoF and blur.
Also, render as an image sequence and compile it in a video editing program like Vegas. Image sequence is the only one that doesn't fuck up the lighting in my experience.
>>551583
I can't stand FOW. It's torture. Everything looks so smooth an beautiful, and then somebody starts talking and my genitals retreat up into my pelvis.
I have to coax them back out with promises of Midna porn and tiny hats.
>>554815
It's just me or there is something weird going on with the camera? Some sort of fish eye is going on.
Pretty cool otherwise
>>555008
Just tried to see how it works, but yea moving camera looks a bit weird
>>549738
Advertisers for some reason think that pedos seeing their stupid shit is bad for them or something.
>>554815
There is no lens flare effect in SFM. For static shots, you can use a partially transparent material overlay. For moving shots, you could try item 1281 on sfmlab.
To get brighter renders in SFM itself, choose h.264 in render options. Uncompressed AVI gives more faithful colors. If you're fussy, you're going to need to post-process with other software.
Your animation is distorted by a large field-of-view. Reduce your field-of-view or use a larger lens preset. Use camera movement sparingly.
I Am somewhat known SFM Animator.
Being an SFM Animator nowadays doesnt impressive anymore like 3 years ago.
I want to ditch SFM forever, but theres literally, i repeat, LITERALLY no one person porting SFM models to Maya or Blender & share it to internet.
This is why we cant have nice things. People being a faggot & keeping the models to him/herself.
[spoiler]Also plz Lordaardvark, please Ditch SFM & port your models to Maya or Blender[/spoiler]
>>554852
If you can't watch porn muted by now I don't know what to tell you.
>>555369
>I am a content creator stuck using shitty software because its popular/people support it more than superior alternatives.
Don't mean to be a dick, but that seems to be a recurring complaint with literally everything tech related ever. Might as well give up now if you're waiting for everyone else to get standards.
>SFM Good
>Daz3D Bad
>>555344
Also, you need Quicktime installed for the h.264 renders.
Remember that you can't see the full render quality with the work camera. You have to be in Clip Editor with the scene camera selected to see the effect of focus, ambient occlusion and lights with radius.
Minimum camera settings in element viewer should be depthoffieldquality 4 and motionblurquality 2. These are equivalent to render overrides of 128 and 32 samples respectively.
For simple loops, you can use ffmpeg to convert an image sequence to a video format or gimp to make a gif. ffmpeg also allows you to cut out beginning-of-render problems associated with flex settling and volumetric lighting.
>>555369
This was Ellowas's reaction to someone moving to Blender:
<<
<<
This is sad Lisa didn’t make it into DOAX3.
Rendered, composited, and colour corrected in Blender. Motion blur and lens flare were added in After Effects. A huge thanks to @ganonking with helping me to render it!
P. S.: I’m accepting commissions! Write me here to get info.
>>
And this, kids, is what happens when you ditch SFM in favor of a proper 3d App.
Nice work, Vismund!
>>
Personally, I don't think this is any better than his SFM work. The whole thing seems a bit flat and uncanny valley. Also, this would have taken much longer to produce than an SFM piece.
There's too many people who've done a course on CGI who are pretty incapable, but love to hate SFM because they've seen a few actually talented people laugh at it. If you moved every animator from SFM to something better, you'd get 10% of the porn, most of the results would look no better, but some would look great.
If someone with Ellowas's talent used SFM, they'd have made a movie by now, not just a few pretty loops.
>>555604
>Personally, I don't think this is any better than his SFM work
i agree, it doesnt look any better apart from the textures. some sfm guys make better stuff than he does in blender.
>>555369
So, you should go the Pewposterous route and port yourself. I'm not sure, but I believe he often ports from SFM to Blender himself.
I'm not trying to insult Pewposterous, but I don't see where this is clearly better fap material than SFM.
>>555650
>I'm not trying to insult Pewposterous, but I don't see where this is clearly better fap material than SFM.
because it is not.
he lacks skill but will probably get better
>>555604
>uncanny valley
If you remove those J.J Abrams lens flares, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference if this is an real life porn or not.
Those animations are Flawless, Pixar like animation.
>>555635

vismund(vsmnd) is actually the best animator i ever seen.
Maybe he/she was actually working in some high paying job being an animator.
>>514522

>>515852
porn makers just need to start using mocap then
>>555369
On the subject of Aardvark, I think the models he makes now are based on Daz3d's Genesis 3 model. If there was the demand for it, I'm sure he'd make stuff for Blender without too much trouble. I don't understand why he doesn't get a proper job, though.
>>555650
But you can clearly see, those hair and those lighting are the things SFM impossible to do.
>>555667
To me, the body looks like a five thousand-dollar sex doll. I prefer this SFM piece, even if the hand animation is lazy.
Vismund is good, but there's no way he's a professional. He tracked down Lord Aardvark's personal details and published them on the Internet (source: LA's tumblr). He's a spoilt college kid.
>>555702
>Vismund is good, but there's no way he's a professional. He tracked down Lord Aardvark's personal details and published them on the Internet (source: LA's tumblr). He's a spoilt college kid.
Seems interesting.
can you post the exact source ?
It seems the better are animators, the jerkier their attitude are
>>555682
I'm not saying that Blender doesn't have advantages. The hair is much nicer than SFM, but how much does that add to its value as porn, or even an animation. As for lighting, SFM is mostly just as good as Blender if you take care with proper use of radius, shadowfiltersize and volumetrics.
You know all those nasty little edges in SFM? SFM can actually smooth those out for models using four-sided polygons compiled with $subd, but such models don't seem to exist. Hair shadows seem to be a problem because of how SFM uses alpha.
SFM looks cruder, but Blender looks like sex toys in action.
Have some Maya, it's even better.
>>555779
this is way better than blender

No one's sharing SFM models in blender or maya because it literally takes 10-15 minutes to learn how to port shit to and from SFM.
Stop being a faggot. Apply yourself.
>>555779
>>555819
Holy shit people, please.
The final outcome of the render has near nothing to do with the program used.
It has everything to do with what render engine/lighting setup you're using, which CAN be program related, but comparing "blender renders" to "maya renders" is fucking stupid.
SFM is very limited when it comes to lighting/engines, but most modern 3d software can use a wide variety of engines.
Models don't magically change their look when they're ported to different programs, unless it's something niche and limited like SFM or MMD.
You think there's a difference, because you're comparing fucking ellowas to some dickhead who doesn't know how to properly light/render scenes.

Thanks, I haven't looking into camera settings yet, so I haven't messed around with FoV. I see now that the camera movement is annoying though.
>>555579
I checked the final render, but it just is darker in general than even the camera in the clip editor. I haven't looked into camera settings, do you mean the render settings, or is it something I should adjust before rendering?
I rendered these as movie btw, should I render them as image sequences and convert that to a webm, and if so, why? (instead of rendering a movie directly)
>>556161

>>557667
>Any requests while I'm at it anyway?
What models do you have?

>>556888
No, he's right.
I've done it myself.
It actually only takes 5 minutes.
MDLDecompile > Import .QC file > Setup textures.
Done.
The only issue you'll run into is if the .mdl was compiled using .dmx format, in which case none of the flexes will work correctly.
Other then that, it's a really simple 5 minute process.
>>555779
I've only seen a few Maya/Blender animations using SFM models that look good. Key word, animation.
I personally don't care if the model looks hyper realistic.
>>556888
>oh wait, you can't.
Hey now, that's not what we're arguing about.
I definitely can. You definitely can't.
i recorded a video and did it in around 5 minutes, but decided you aren't worth the bandwidth to upload it, or time it would take me to edit out my name to settle this petty argument.
If you don't believe me, that's fine, you can continue being a slave to SFM porters, and never learn how to do anything for yourself.
Your problem won't be solved by me posting a video anyway.
>>557732
I am not sure if MDLDecompile gives you a .vta file, but if you use Crowbar you can just import it into blender along with the .smd it spits out.
Crowbar should always give you a .smd, a .vta, and a .qc. I think there's an option for .dmx as well somewhere, but I'm not sure when you'd use that.
Importing the .vta after the .smd will load up all the flexes and work 99% perfectly. A few (1-2) verts may possibly not animate correctly every few flexes, but it's fairly easy to fix one or two broken points.

>>558107
The models aren't getting better though. They're all basically just Aardvark using the CBBE skyrim body and headswapping on whoever he feels like.
SFM also has a soft poly limit on models that most compilers ignore, and a hard cap that makes compilers refuse to compile.
.dmx and .smd are god awful formats with stupid limitations for no reason.
I'll honestly be glad when SFM is replaced, just to be rid of the formats.

wheres the IK rig-like in blender ?
animating without an IK rig is the pain in the ass.
>>558063
I'll give it a try, gonna take a few days since I'm not at my workstation atm, but this thread is slow anyways
>>558925
If you know how to use Blender/Maya, then you shouldn't need any help setting up an IK rig.
There are tons of tutorials on youtube that show you how.
>>558903
>without rigging
nice try
>>555650
>So, you should go the Pewposterous route and port yourself.
All that Pewposterous does is take a XNA model and imports it in 3dsmax with the XNA importer. Then if the skeleton isn't total ass, he uses it.
Nothing extraordinary.
>>559318
It's already rigged.
The IK rig has nothing to do with porting SFM to Blender.
>>559325
question.
does Blender got a very easy interface like SFM ?
people use sfm because sfm got the godly easy interface.
>>559368
Almost like some people are good at animating, others at rigging, others for skinning, etc.
There's a reason studios have dedicated jobs for each steps into making and animating a model.
>>559369
>does Blender got a very easy interface like SFM ?
God no, Blender's is hell for beginners. It gets better as you follow tutorials and get used to it, but the first few months are hell on Earth.

sfm animations are always more creative than anything that comes from those who use blender.

Laura has no nostalgia value for me, so that only leaves mika
pretty pathetic

I think all the porters are too busy working on other models. plus there's no real demand for ChunLi/Karen.
It'd be a lot of work to make them properly nude too.. As in staying true to their SFV proportions and not headhacking them on a shitty anorexic body.

it's a weighting issue that a lot of SFM models have.
Most of the SFM modelers have no idea how to correctly weight stuff so it doesn't do things like that.
So 99% of all SFM models will end up doing that if the pelvis is angled too far away from the spine.

>Most of the SFM modelers have no idea how to correctly weight stuff
don't you mean SFM porters? the modelers can't fix that if its a problem in the source files.
and weighting models is pretty fucking simple shit. most likely they were just too lazy to fix it.

>Daz is still not allowed
>Allows Blender
Literally the shittiest /3/ software in existence. OP knows nothing about 3D.
>>534973
It's a free rendering/animating program.
This was made in Daz Studio.
So speaking of Blender, there was a guy on youtube under bmi1242 who did mostly ryona stuff.
Anyone know if he's still doing stuff?
>>560776
I'd actually say SFM is the most shit tier 3D software if you're going to be one of the purist NEETs like on /3/.
Blender is okay software, it just has the most autistic user base and the shittiest UI.
Daz is good.It recently added Iray and Iray is a great render engine. But it's render and animation software only and doesn't have modelling built in (although it will bridge to some other modelling software like Hexagon and ZBrush). Some Daz users make their own models but a lot of them just buy their models or download free ones. 99% of the still 3D porn you see on the internet is done in Daz or Poser. For this reason alone it's often hated.
SFM is just ripped low poly game models, unsubdivided which is why they look jaggy as shit. It's also why the weight mapping tends to be pretty bad because they're game rigs using general weights instead of weight mapping that is independent along each axis of movement.
SFM gets a lot of NEET /3/ hate because it is literally the "I have no idea about anything 3D related but look what I can make" level of easy.
Blender fags and Maya fags probably hate each other the most, then all other software second. Blender fags are probably universally hated by anyone who isn't a blender fag. In weeaboo terms they're the type of weeb that constantly tells everyone else their waifu is shit-waifu and only their waifu has true waifu essence of purity.
For probably the smallest board on 4chan /3/ is filled with the highest per capita hate of its fellow members. It also probably has the highest wizard population per capita as a lot of the users are scared shitless of porn.
Do you all think NoName55 will open commissions soon. I wanna commission something involving Widow

Comparing SFM to Blender/Maya is fucking retarded.
SFM isn't anything like them. It is not a model creation suite. The main usage was for quickly making Team Fortress 2 movies with it, using the game's existing models. Saying the program is shit because it's not doing things it wasn't ever designed to do is fucking idiotic.
I should have stopped reading when you said "Daz is good".
>>560844
Singing the praises of SFM while condemning Daz. How's that cognitive dissonance treating you?
You're all a bunch of fucking retards but you sir not only take the cake but you frost it with your ass.
>>560849
I'm not praising SFM.
I said it's dumb that people compare it to fully featured 3D rendering software.
Good luck trying to animate in Daz, it's damn terrible. I don't think I've seen a single good animation come from it.
>>560861
>>560865
rivaliant is the best Daz user...or possibly the only Daz user. kek
>>560861
Most people just use it for stills since you need a lot of plugins to animate properly. I don't think I've seen any animations made in Daz Studio that weren't just demonstrating the plugins. If people are actually making animations with it I'd be surprised. Although it was used to make the animatics for Civil War, but I don't think animatics really count as animation. I mean they used to just use toys and action figures to make animatics.
My apologies. I thought you were being one of those /3/pots that complains that Daz Studio isn't real /3/ware because it only does rendering/animating. So it seemed odd that you'd get bent out of shape when someone put down SFM for being shitware because it only does rendering/animating.
So you're really just assbent over Daz Studio because it's a mediocre animation platform unless you plug in a lot of scripts. Fair enough if animation is your thing. Like I said, I doubt more than 1% of Daz users use it for animation.
I think Carrara is the Daz software that Daz users use for animation.

Blender has the worst UI of any 3D software. But it's free.
There is a price to pay for it. If you get used to the way Blender wants you to do things you will find it almost impossible to learn to use any other software. Blender goes out of its way to assert it's uniqueness.
Modo, Silo, 3DCoat, 3D Max, Maya, they all have different interfaces but there's enough similarities between then that if you're learned one and gotten very good at it, you'll be able to learn the others just by playing around with the software and maybe a tutorial or two.
Learn to do things the Blender way and you've cast your lot in life. You'll be a Blender fag for the rest of your days and the thought of using any other software will fill you with dread. You'll be so scared of other software that you'll actually fear each update of Blender because they might have changed something to make it easier to learn.
You'll be like a woman who is constantly beaten by her boyfriend and when people tell you, "you know, you could just leave his ass and get yourself a boyfriend that doesn't constantly beat the shit out of you" you'll say "you're just jealous that I've got such a great boyfriend. Sure he beats the fuck out of me all the time, but he does that because he's so powerful".
Everyone will think you're a retard but you'll have convinced yourself that you love your boyfriend.
That's what Blender is like.
I started on Blender and have tried to learn Maya and find I'm constantly butting up against the way Blender does things.
The only thing I can recommend is if you ARE going to use Blender, customize the interface right from the start to try and make it as much like industry software as you can. I've been a Blender fag too long and changing anything in the interface gives me full blown anxiety but if you're just starting Blender then customize the hell out of it so you don't fall into the same trap.
10 years I've been letting this software make me its bitch.

If SFM start supporting specularity maps and normal maps, it'll be a whole new level of visuals. Imagin if sfm comes close to the witcher 3 engine!
>>515607
The specularity needs to be toned down, the normal maps are set too strong, need to be subtle.
>All this SFM vs Blender & Maya bullshit
You all know that 90% of the best animated rule34 are coming from SFM.
Yeah Blender & Maya is great 3d animating software, but almost no one use those software properly for Animating rule34 (Except Ellowas, but he's into WoW furfags nowadays)
But still, SFM still needs to be updated badly. Or force valve & fat fuck gaben to make SFM models work with S2FM.
>>561070
I guess it's difference between usability and quality. Maybe marble statues are better, but majority of artists would just draw.
>>561070
>S2FM
I didn't even know this existed.
Seems kind of dumb that SFM models wouldn't work in the updated version..
They also removed python scripting. How are you supposed to make IK rig scripts then?
>>561070
I suspect that SFM's ease-of-use and available resources will not be matched for at least a decade, probably more. I hope I'm wrong.
The most fervent critics of SFM are simply snobs who've learnt a little about CGI, but not enough to make anything themselves. Yes, SFM is shit, but I believe that if you were to take an animator familiar with other software and ask them to do a piece in SFM and a similar piece in Blender, say, then the results wouldn't be that much different.
I've actually seen people in these threads criticize SFM for being too easy to use, which is astonishing. I think it's a good thing that I don't need to have a separate render machine sat chugging away for a week to make a six-second loop; with SFM it's feasible to actually make a movie.
Look at this work done in Blender. It has decent animation, and the model is a bit nicer looking than the equivalent SFM would look.
Now, look at the hair clipping. I'm pretty sure that the animator noticed this after it was rendered, but Blender rendering is so slow that it wasn't worth correcting.
Look at the background. Most of his stuff has no background, but he's put in a nice background for this. The trouble is that the lighting is so simplistic that it's difficult to see the difference between walls and floor, and there's very little sense of depth. I don't blame the animator, I suspect that adding such things in Blender would be prohibitive in terms of render time.
Look at this.
>>555604
He had to use After Effects for motion blur. I think that is a bad sign for Blender.
Purists who dismiss the useability of SFM should stick to theory. They have no place in actually producing stuff. If someone can make stuff you can fap to and make lots of it, you shouldn't care about its source.
>>560941
>10 years I've been letting this software make me its bitch.
What do you use it for? I don't want to see anything. I'm just curious about the sort of things that you do.
>>560941
>using blender for 10 years
holy shit anon I'm so sorry.
Although I started with c4d, so I probably shouldn't talk. C4D is fucking atrocious as far as industry standards go.

There's nothing wrong with it being easy to use. The people that claim that are just being elitist dorks who want everything to be as hard as learning maya, or whatever.
The problem is that while SFM is easy to use, it pays a price in how much you're able to do with the program.
It can't edit polys, subdivide models, edit textures beyond what you can in a .vmt, etc etc.
But I don't expect the program to be able to do all of those things though, because that's not what it was designed for.
And for the most part, 99% of the users of SFM won't need to do a lot of the things I listed.
But for the people who want to do those things, fucking go for it. No reason to limit yourself if you feel like SFM isn't cutting it.
Although, if you're only using blender/maya/3ds/whatever because you want to be an elitist, you're a fucking idiot.
