How much would it cost to have a keychain made in 3-D to 3-D print?
Probably going to have a name and phone number on it

i'm doing a level 3 it course and a part of it is about animation and 3D modeling i'm using 3Ds max and i have some knowledge into 3Ds Max (not much though) however i want to create character models but i don't know how to start with them does anyone know any good tutorials?
it's the 2016 version of 3Ds Max
I remember learning from this guy when I was starting out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPJHq1zWpC8
Most tutorials seem to be for Maya now. Poly modeling techniques are pretty standard just look for the equivalent tools in ur app.

anyone an oldschool openGL expert? specifically in java and using xml scenegraphs to create a 3d scene

maybe
I want to put my skills to the test in blender and create something creative.
(A drawing would be helpful to make it more accurate)
What is it you want?

What's the deal with gamma correction? It makes sense that doing linear math with non-linear assets produces wrong results, but what is the correct way to prevent this? For instance, should textures be non-linear, and converted to linear during rendition, or should textures be converted to linear beforehand and thus look dark in an editor? Does the former approach preserve more resolution?

Resolution has nothing to do with color-space...
The answer is, let your software do gamma correction on the textures into linear space at render-time if it has the option to, like Maya does. Otherwise do it yourself.
Textures should be stored non-linear, at least if they're 8 bits per channel. Storing color-data in linear at an 8-bits-per-channel resolution will result in terrible banding. Storing textures in linear (even when using 16 bpc or more) is also somewhat impractical unless you know everyone in your team has an image viewer/editor that reads & respects the color-profile from the texture and then displays it correctly.
If you need to do any kind of math on your colors (i.e. do anything with them other than just copying them from A to B) you should linearize them first. That includes:
- blending (of basically any sort -- even just normal alpha blending)
- lighting
- any kind of adjustment
Before you write the colors to the screen, you need to turn them back into sRGB again, meaning you have to de-linearize them. Depending on what API/framework/engine/etc you use, the GPU can do some of that stuff just automatically for you.
Converting between colorspaces in general always implies a loss of information. How big/relevant that loss is, depends mostly on the precision of the receiving colorspace, or more precisely the precision of the receiving colorspace relative to the source colorspace. When linearizing on the GPU, you usually turn 8 BPC sRGB into linear 32 BPC floating point numbers to perform computations in. This conversion is lossless, since 32 BPC floats can represent all 256 values of 8 BPC precisely.
Converting back afterwards from 32 bpc float to 8 bit sRGB is obviously lossy (you're reducing roughly 2147483648 levels of brightness to 256), but it's not really lossy relative to performing the operation directly in 8 bit (or compared to the theoretical "8 bit" -> "infinitely precise linear colorspace" -> "do conversion" -> "8 bit" path).
8 bit linear always looks like ass, never use it. Doing anything in 8-bit sRGB (non-linear) also looks like ass, prefer to not do it (unfortunately most people do because they don't know better)
Hi guys! I just finished binge watching daredevil season 2! What a ride! Anyway, I went looking for some 3D models and I stumbled across and article on Kotaku:
http://kotaku.com/marvel-heroes-is-a-great-place-to-work-out-your-post-da-1765918747
This is the best and most detailed model of Netflix daredevil I've seen. I'm not the savviest at ripping models, so would it be possible for someone to rip it from the game? It is much appreciated! :)

Although I have made some guns and guitars in the past, I can't seem to model a car yet. I guess i just can't control all 3 dimensions at the same time.
I start from the side and when time comes to front/back, i realize everything is misplaced. Maybe I set the blueprint wrong.
Any tips on modeling cars? Do I make doors, bumpers and hood separately or all in one mesh?
Where can I get a scene with a blueprint set up correctly to practice? What are the "easiest" cars to model (in terms of body shape)?
>>516076
block the whole shape first then go into details by steps, don't concentrate on specific areas until near the end.
>>516076
Ignore all the creases in the beginning, model your car as if it had no doors, no separate bumpers, etc
Then cut your mesh when you're satisfied with the curvature
Treat the outer glass shell of the lights as body parts, too.
Compare your model not only to the blueprint, but also to reference photos, all the time.
I want to start the rumors of a artificial uterus existing and capable of sustain humans.
In the long run it will get everyone, can you help me?

nice pasta
Ok, so I was dicking around and did this render.
I always wondered how those old psone looks could be archieve?
I was surprised no ilumination and just something basic like ambient oclusion and just enviroment light can make it look like an older game.
Any more tips on how to make it look like psone?
low screen resolution
low resolution textures
no anti aliasing
shadeless materials
lightmaps
realtime rendering (cycles is offline render)
get pcsx emulator and iso of game with desired look from rom hustler or emuparadise and run the game with wre frame setting to see- well, the models in wire frame.
also, a lot of psx games used segmented body parts so they didn't have to deal with shape crush corrections when limbs were bent.
but i would forgo that and just stick to simple meshes and textures.

Bump, Google is of no help.
Why the fuck would you pirate any Autodesk product.
They're free FFS. And the student version comes with no restrictions.
>>516600
Modelling should be the 2016 equivalent of Polygons + something else from earlier versions
PersonallIy I'm using 2014, I suggest 2015 however instead of 2016, since the UI is very different (which can confuse people new to it, comparing it to tutorials and videos using older versions)
2016 basically fucked the UI up, and it does take a few extra seconds for me to do stuff in there when I try to use it after using 2014 this entire time, and I don't think there are many on /3/ using 2016 specifically
>>516610
To be precise, there's that prompt every time you save and open a file using a Student version, which reminds you that you're using a Student version
And legally you're not supposed to make any profit from the use of it
But yeah, not like you can make money out of it at your stage and the prompt doesn't even come out very often
How can I get two particle systems to attract particles from their same system and repel particles from the other system?
I tried using charge and a negative field weight for charge, but that just causes the force to cease.
Step 1: Kys
Nah in all seriousness tho, I'm assuming you are using blender, you can use boids particles and mess around with their settings. I don't know much, but try this tutorial
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1ltwA2CXBE
>>516432
I'd prefer not to use boids, this is just to test a physics concept.
How easy would it be to modify Blender by myself to make a new particle forcefield that's like charge but with reversed effect?
>>516438
This might help:

hey guys. o today i got a job offer from a VFX studio as a 3rd artist but they only use Maya...
i only have experience in 3ds max.
how hard will it be to switch over to Maya from Max?
is maya even good for modeling, i heard its just a meme
Yes its even faster than max if you use the context marking menus.
The only advantage max has is the stack
>>515750
And Maya even has its own form of the stack, which is the dynamic history chain that can be modified through the new Node Editor or the old Connection Editor.
>>515746
depends, it can be a pain in the ass depending on the level your employer expects you to be good at, but not uncommon either, plenty of people have switched softs or use several on daily basis, so no reason you can't do it as well.
If you're an animator it's easy mode
If you're a rigger i hope you love tutorials
