>What program do I need?
Well, these models are made with Blender. (Blender.org) SFM ports are on the to-do list. Be patient.
>Ok, how does one use Blender?
Look at CGCookie or Blender Guru for the best tutorials.

Last thread: https://archive.moe/mlp/thread/21686470
hello
I want a chrysalis model already.
Has anyone used elelemnt 3D (AE) with the EQG models? I think I will try this out and post results.
Also, I think it's great that the tuts I posted before are being used for our OP.
This thread doesn't seem to be living for much longer.
>>21729404
Might be the case. I'm going to be busy over the next week and a bit because of midterms, and I'm busy doing a bit of work for the 4cc winter videos. Don't worry though, I am going to finish the animation.
>>21729404
I'm still creating renders.
Currently, I just need to render out what I've got but it's going to take a while since my computer isn't really good.
>>21729482
Well, it's not just you, it's mainly US. We don't have enough content creators here to fill the void. I'm making a clock right now, hopefully people would see it.
>>21729520
You can email your project to someone with a good computer to render for you. I would, but I'm actually making something right now
I believe in you
>>21729557
Click the large set of numbers next to a post to reply to a specific person.
I will refrain from calling you a newfag.
Welcome.
>>21729533
That would be pretty helpful.
If someone is willing to render out my .blend file, that'll be great.
It's all ready and just needs to be rendered.
>>21729606
Hmm, what is it?
I just might render for you.
>>21729576
It was meant for everybody, but I believe in you too
>>21729634
How large is the file?
>>21729634
It's a recreation of pic related with the mane six.
It's 43 megs and has 7 layers.
All layers need to be rendered and then returned to me so I can finalize it in post production.
>>21729672
Holy shit.
Sure, I'll give it a try, but my computer isn't SUPER or anything. It's a macbook pro - not too shabby.
I don't think gmail can support such a large file, so upload it to a google drive, and then email me the link so I can download and render.
[email protected]/
Kek, don't judge the gmail, I made it when I was 12.
>>21727774
Hasbro should buy the rights to these models and use them for EQG3.
>>21729765
Hasbro is a group of assholes. They ruin fanwork and don't really support their largest buyers - the older demographic (bronies/pegasisters)
>>21729765
>They would even have to but the rights
They probably already own them by legal rights, and I'd fling my models at them if they would accept them for any price.
>>21729765
Please no
>>21729765
>Models can be downloaded for free use
>A megacorporation like Hasbro would buy them
>Megacorp
>Buy
Um, anon?
>>21729765
Please go live in a cave and never come out again.
>>21729721
Alright, just sent you the file.
>>21729919
Got it.
>>21729781
>>21729797
>>21729818
>>21729851
>>21729881
Holy shit, I was joking. The best kind of troll is the unintentional one.
I really would love to see some more animation with these guys, though.
>>21729992
I didn't think you were trolling, but there are some serious implications of them using the models.
Also, If I were "Hasbro" I would hire digital domain, weta digital, industrail magic and light, or 180 amsterdam to do everything. They're the best.
...although using fan created content would save money, get tons of respect from us, and be written in digital history.
>>21729919
I'm rendering now.
>>21729992
I'd like to actually make a short animation but the render time would be horrible for me, that's why I only do images.
>>21730036
Great.
>>21730044
I hear that baking animations and tweaking a few setting could save a shit load of time.

There's some interesting shit here. Nice find.
>>21730189
No problemo.
>>21730071
Ok, so I'm rendering the twilight layer, but a white floor is present. Is that supposed to happen?
>>21730221
Yeah, all the characters have it. It's what casts the shadow.
>>21730256
Ok, I was just making sure. I thought I may have fucked something up by accident. It about 25 percent done. I don't know why it's taking so long if it has an alpha channel.
>>21730301
50%
>>21729404
Only died because an autist spammed about 3 pages worth of RD threads this morning.
>>21730423
75%
>>21730570
kekkled. How do we count pages? I always see "page 9 bump" or "page 5 bump" where do I find page number?
>>21730639
Well I've got an extension that tells me thread info like [total posts / image posts / unique IPs / page number]
>>21730639
lower right hand corner it lists how many replies, images replies, how many different IPs have posted and what page the thread is on.
If you cant see it, enable it in your settings.
>>21730663
>extension
>implying this shit in the lower right corner is anything near true
>>21730675
Thanks! Enabled. Now I can see the light!
>>21730679
Mine's in the upper right and updates frequently
>>21730256
I'm done rendering Twilight. Save it as a png?
>>21731000
Yes.
>>21731008
It's a little blown out, but I guess that's what you want. Emailing.
>>21731089
Alright, I'll be going backwards starting with layer 7.
>>21731135
I started layer 2 with rainbow dash.
captchu: ORegu
>>21731135
I'm positive most of the time spent rendering is on the floor ;_; How are you going to composite it if they ALL have the floor, and they're 2D layers when I send them?
>>21731223
All I really need is the character and their shadow so once that has been rendered, you can stop the render.
It's only going to take longer with the characters furthest from the center.
>>21731295
You should have said that earlier.
Will do.
>>21731318
It's going to take almost 3 hours for the seventh layer that is just a wall.Shhhhheeeeeeiiiiiitt.
>>21731387
No, just realized that it can have a much lower samples since it's going to be in the background.
>>21731387
How to I stop a render to take only what I want?
>>21731432
On the top next to where it says Cycles Render, there is a line with a X with Render. That will stop the render.
>>21731458
Ok, I'm about to start rendering Rarity, but something is pissing me off. I want to only render her and the shadow, but the resoultion settings won't allow it. She's off tot he side too.
wat do?
>>21731633
I don't want to move the camera, otherwise the perspective will get messed up.
>>21731633
Wat?
>>21731672
Forget it.
I hope some aussiefags can keep this thread alive through the night.
Finished rarity
>>21731387
>>21732549
let us see
>>21732560
Fine. I'll only show one pic - I don't want to spoil the guys whole project.
Plus it's great content for the thread.
>>21732646
Began rendering Applejuck. Already 30%
>>21732646
Very cool.
>>21732646
I am very interested to see where this is going
>>21732898
>>21732953
The whole thing will be finished by tomorrow. I'm currently rendering the last bits, and then the other dude will composite the images.
>>21732898
Hey, are the fingers on the models rigged fully?
>>21732898
Hey 3d anon? I'm having a little trouble with the Rarity model. Whenever I load up the model and lock the camera to the "Camera" view, the little red box that lets me control the position of the render doesn't appear. It also won't show even if I create a new camera and set it as the active camera. Do you have any advice?
>>21733533
To clarify, while I can still render easily it's based on the actual position of the camera, not the view I get when I enter camera mode. It's throwing me off.
>>21732676
Got the Seventh layer and almost finished with the sixth.
Finish up on Applejack and I'll do the fifth layer.
>>21733761
Look at the email I sent you.
>>21733810
The glows don't carry over when I do an incomplete render. I may have to rerender rainbow and rarity
>>21733830
Naw, man. That's alright.
I'll try and see what I can do in post.
>>21733854
alright. Sending Applejack. I'm starting on Pinkie Pie.
>>21733886
I just finished her.
>>21733904
Oops, I meant fliuttershy.
>>21733917
Alright, thanks again, friend

See all of this? This is what I call collaboration. We need more of this - even if it's just a renderjob, or material test, or animation tweaking - we need a ton more of this.
I'm glad to have helped you out on the rendering. I guess I'll just be the "go-to" guy for rendering. I don't use my CPU that much anyway.
Fluttershy is 25% complete.
>>21733011
Yeah. Make sure to run the rig.py script so the layer with the finger bones can be displayed.
>>21733533
What do you mean by the red box?
>>21734046
Collaboration is indeed awesome.
>>21734109
Thanks. I was wondering what that was for.
Hey, can someone dump all of the pictures we had from the other thread here?
>>21734151
For what?
You can go to the archive for the last thread in the OP or the other threads in the pastebin.
>>21734109
I mean the little dashed line box that appears when you lock the camera to the Camera view and then press 0 on the numpad. It pops up and gives me more control of where to place the camera for rendering.
>>21734174
This helpful thing.
>>21734226
ohh, ctrl-b
>>21734249
It didn't do anything at first, but when I locked the camera to the camera the red box was suddenly there. Thank you so much, 3dAnon, you're a huge help.
>>21734451
>locked the camera to the camera VIEW
goddamn it

I am become tripfag, the destroyer of threads

Tripfriend pls go
>>21734834
Why? I just finished rendering a fluttershy model.
>>21734834
He helped render, he's cool.
>>21733940
I finished all of the rendering you needed. I sent the last image of Fluttershy.
>>21734892
Alright, I'll start working on it.
>>21734992
I hope you don't run into issues with the glow. That seems to be a pretty tough spot you'll have to deal with.
Do you have photoshop of after effects?
>>21735020
I work with GIMP but if I can't figure it out, then I'll load it into AE.
>>21735051
Alright. Well, I'll be going to sleep. I hope to see a good composition when I get home tomorrow.

>>21735088
I honestly didn't expect that to work. Well, goodnight guys. Aussie fags, please don't let the thread die.
Has anyone made a 3D Anon model?
You know, green skin, question mark face, gray suit, red tie?
>>21735433
Some tripfag was working on one a long time ago

Rerequesting some good soul to, not work on them right now, but at least consider making boots that fit better with the proportions of the girls just like the boots that appeared in Rainbow Rocks, instead of the clunky and massive boots from the first movie.

Love it!
>>21737454
Twilight's skirt looks a little... ridged.
>>21737454
Fluttershy has no mouth and nose
You've crossed the subtle line of contrast which i have on a lot lower setting than normally
>>21737454
God, it's like a game from the 2000s; too much fucking bloom. The poses are really good though, you did an excellent job there. I just wish there was a Spike model to put at Raryoin's feet to complete the picture.

The light is way too much blinding IMHO, but that aside, great combo.
>>21737454
That looks wonderful.
People say there's too much contrast, but I can honestly only say that it's a problem with fluttershy, though is isn't that big of a deal. Maybe because she's yellow on a white BG.
gg, 3DAnon.
We must finish the job
>>21739938
attention whore!!
seriously though, good job.
Sunny in RD's clothing? pretty sure it hadn't been done yet
>>21736900
bump for this
>>21740265
This was before
anyone have the most current clothes-swap chart?
>>21739938
Who's Boris Milaev?
>>21737454
Neat.
>>21734046
I've suggested this multiple times, but no one came forward to do it. You're the first. So "Go you!" I guess.captcha: endIn
>>21740329
You're gonna have to look through the archives for that.
>>21740329
>>21740384
oh shit, we're in a new thread aren't we? whoops
We have this plus >>21740012 and Twishy from the last thread.
I was going to wait for one more before I update it
>>21740012
still patiently waiting for more shimmy, yellow, and rarara
>>21740523
I vote RD in shimmers clothes doing the Fonz "ehhh!" thing
Shimmer in rara's clothes doing a curtsey.
>>21740356
no matter
>>21740523
aye, want rara in nerd chic.
>>21741013
>don't tell me how to type purple hoars!
>>21741013Pay no attention to me I'm retarded, I looked up the definition after making that post.
Generic 3D question. How do I into topology? Boxy things like G1 transformers are easy enough but anything else is too damn hard for me to figure out. Anything curvy such as an insect is hard and things like a human torso are impossible.
>>21741305
Topology is best learned by watching a whole bunch of tutorials on the theory or examples. Blender Cookie has a bunch I know. Also, try following their series on modelling a human female. It really helped me I know.
I'm trying to give her a shy expression but I can't into expressions. This looks quite uncanny and I don't know how to fix it.
Can someone help me?Yes, I'm changing the pose because there's a similar one
>>21743078
Angle the face down, and hunch her over. The straight back and forward face show confidence.
>>21743110
Have you considered making .zip files for the models? On mac we don't have a software that opens 7-zip files. Only .rar and .zip.
>>21743720
I had to download some other software just to open your file.
>>21743110
Instead of replacing the clothes + arms + shoes (which gave me some weird deformations on the shoulders after parenting them with the bones) I opted to just replace the head. I've parented the head with the neck bone and everything looked fine in >>21743078, but when I rotated the body as you suggested I've got >pic.
I thought everything was already parented to the head bones but apparently when I parented the head with the neck the eyes and everything else de-parented.
I've tried every parenting option to fix the eyes to the face, but nothing worked. How do I fix this?I'm sorry I'm asking you dumb questions but I'm very new to 3D stuff
Are these clothes swaps going to be up for download anytime soon?
I found a head with no facial features so I did what anybody would do.

Oh shit anon, it's happening.
>>21744983
Here is where I got it.
http://www.blendswap.com/blends/view/72252
It's just the head, though.
>>21745039
Hmm, try going to TF3DM .com and find a free human male body. There should be one there. That's also a great place for free 3D models.
>>21744271
I suppose I could put my old ones up. Why, though?
>>21740265
pic related
>>21740265
>>21745087
this is why we have the chart >>21740448
>>21745087
ty. I had actually meant >>21740861
>>21745087
Pretty sure he means the models, not the pics.
But if he does mean the pics, just search
artist:creatorofpony, clothes swap
Ok, so I've downloaded all of the models, but the nude RD doesn't seem to have a download link.
Halp.
>>21745737
?
http://www.mediafire.com/download/phs39uk4pj62hm8/Alt.7z
>>21745786
Sorry, I meant the RD nude model.
>>21745837
It is.
>>21745922
Oh, thanks! Looked like the regular model link.
>>21743078
>>21744215
Nevermind, I worked with both armatures together. Not the most elegant solution but it worked well enough to render a picture.
Total render time: 1:04:18
>>21746132
That render time.I know that feel, bro
>>21746166
I'll ask my bro if he can render shit for me. He has a dedicated nVidia card.It's still a laptop, but at least it's a video card.
>>21746132
hey, i just got into the thread and i was asking myself what are your compute specs?
>>21746132
set samples a little higher.
Where can I get a cock for Blender?
I've noticed the absence of lewd material here.
>>21746562
They aren't that hard to model.

You fuckingtry at least, man
>>21746562
>not reading the pastebin

Why do I continually get surprised at this?
>>21746218
Intel Core i5-4300M. 4 cores, 2.6 GHz each.
8GB DDR3 1600MHz
I've got a Thinkpad T440p if you want to check more specs.
>>21746371
It'd look better, but it would be very slow.
>>21747285
i never saw specific specs there man. sorry
>>21747285
>>not reading the pastebin
Oh, but I did.
That is:
1. a horse cock.
2. .DMX and .QC which when researched, cannot be imported into Blender. Unless I'm wrong.
That's why I said
>Where can I get a cock for Blender?
>Blender
>>21747590
I did a bit more reading and you can import .dmx into Blender, but you'll need Blender Source Tools or something.
Either way, I was looking to use a human cock.
>>21747643
I got'cha covered.
>>21746166
Same here, just got an okay computer that can actually render stuff at a reasonable pace.
>>21747643
I'll finish the thing tomorrow.
>>21745490
I was talking about the models as well.
the thread goes bump in the night.
Oh shit niggers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHDl5iNsYEM&src_vid=Andu0NLywW4&feature=iv&annotation_id=annotation_2315167427
I will certainly be there.
>>21749419
Oh my. This should be interesting
>>21749419
I'll have to take a look when he's live. Always interesting to get some opinions on how I can improve the rig.
>>21749556
What's the job market looking like for us blender users? What are the odds of using blender and making a career out of it?
Wouldn't it make more sense to learn maya or something else?
>>21749604
If you want to work in most large game studio, max/maya are the way to go. Chances are you'll want zbrush under your belt if you are serious.
If you want to freelance, contract, or work in various smaller studios, Blender is a good option. Blender is also frequently used outside of animation, like many engineers I know have worked with Blender on occasion.
Obviously if you are self employed and making a game for example, use whatever floats your boat.
Blender wasn't taken very seriously even 5 years ago, but it is rapidly gaining popularity, especially in Europe and Asia. It is hard to say where things will be in a few years though, with software you never know.
>>21749722
So you'll be doing freelance work with blender exclusively?
>>21749803
Well, it's all I have needed so far.
>>21749419
My body will be ready
>>21749896
kek
>>21747590
Okay. It's just I remember seeing on the page that it was compatible with blender a while ago. And didn't think anyone would want a >human cock
>>21748898
There's no released models for the swapped clothes versions.
Now if someone would post instructions on how to do it step by step, I'll add that to the bin.
>>21749975
When I finish the model tomorrow, would you make a mediafire link and put it on our sticky?
That would be nice.free penis for everyone
>>21750119
I haven't edited the OP only because there's a limited amount of space for it. I'll definitely add it in the pastebin though.
And in terms of the mediafire link, that's something either you or 3danon need to do. I don't have an account.
>>21750199
Alright. I'll look into mediafire.
>>21749896
Mine will be as well.

Carry on gaylordvaders.
after class bump.
What are you niggerfaggots working on in Blender?

>>21758226
Got an alternative download for the pony pack? The zip from blend swap won't open for me.
>>21758226
Oh shit, will certainly be downloading when ready.
Captcha: seedd
>>21758672
this model is not ready yet. The old one has too many problems.
If the new one won't work as well, i will fix it then.
>>21758841
Yeah, that's what I heard. Guess I'll wait for this one, then.
Just imported someone's sketch up model... Only the dead can know peace from this evil
>>21759174
What's that supposed to be?
>>21759212You'll see...
Okay, noob question here, how do I curl the fingers? I can get them to bend, but I can't figure out how to curl them.
>>21759739
smash with them with a hammer.
works wonders on uncooperative individuals.
...
OH you mean in Blender!
Damn if I know.
>>21759353
>inb4 a cock
>>21759739
Shit, 3DAnon said that you have to run something called "Rig.py", though, I'm not sure how to actually do that. Sorry :/
Still post your work! We won't judge if the fingers are a little off...
...fingers...>inb4 fingerbang thread
>>21759967
Ya, me neither. Will be posting what I have once it's done rendering.No, It's not fingerbang. Though it's not much better either.
>>21759967
>>21760346
Fingerbang isn't just about fingering, it's just a bunch of EqG stories staring Anon. So, a human AiE.
>>21760346
Hollar if you're computer a shit.
To bend fingers, you scales them by pressing S.
>>21760363
I saw the thread earlier today.
>>21757391
I'm attempting a small animated short.
I'll try and recreate >pic related.
It's only 15 frames of animation so it'll be fairly easy and won't take so long to render.
>>21760481
This could be cool.
Bumping for interest.
>>21760400
The fact that that is so simple, yet so obscure makes me want to rage. Now I have to re-render it.
>>21760371
It's okay, shouldn't take too long. Also, I'm rendering it on a different computer, so I can forget about it for a while.
bump for bed
>>21760731
DIGGING UP DEAD MEMES!
>>21761229
Someone please do this scene.
>>21761686
There isn't a chance in hell that I could do that right now. But, perhaps someone else could...
>>21761686
The only thing stopping me from fully animating is the render time that it will take. That's why I'm starting small with >>21760481
>>21757391
Trying to learn how to reposition each piece of these models. Working on hands at the moment
>>21755302
Not sure exactly. Set it ip, then took a nap and it was done.

>>21762568
Forgot pic
out of all of these models, where is anon?
>>21727774
>anything 3D
Does this count?
>>21762777
Does it have a horse pussy?
>>21762777
where's correct horse

>>21763918
EqG version please!
>>21765281
made me kek
>>21762777
Check'd. Well, by "anything 3d" we mostly mean 3D MLP. But if you're training to git gud, I guess anything goes.
One question: Why do we have this as a separate thread? This is quite a slow thread so why not join draw thread?Polite sage because meta
>>21766005
No hooves, maybe?
At any rate, drawing and 3D are two completely different things
>>21766093
I see a lot of EqG requests on drawthread too.
>drawing and 3D are two completely different things
They're quite similar, although the "drawing" method is different. Just saying this because I've seen a lot of bumps ITT since I joined here.
>>21760481
It's pretty meh but it's a start.
>>21766123
It's still pretty good. You should just change the angle a bit.
Like go a little up and look a little more down.
That should improve the chin shape hopefully.
And I get you want the left to smirk a bit more intensely, but you're not supposed to see the gums. Move the corner a bit lower and more to the side?
Where's the twilicane model?
>>21766202
The one I made is in the RD march download.
>>21766123
Nice.
>>21766335
Goddamnit, I didn't know you had a twilicane model! I wouldn't have made my crappy one!
>>21766335
I tried to duplicate twicane.
It lost it's face.
>>21766123
it's rape time, motherfucker!
Bumpity bump.
>>21766005
Because real artists use 3D and the drawfags, are well, faggots.
We will get a similar response if we try to move into the draw thread.
