Another thread for your shitty speakers you didn't model, really? There's a WIP thread for a reason , that's been on page 1 for the last 3 days.
Off yourself alredt op

Very good speakers oppy. You should try selling them to one of those 3D stock model sites. You'd think no one buys them, but architectural/design firms do all the time because it's less expensive to them overall when they are doing nice renderings for interiors to buy the models for props like teacups or vases and shit, than it is to build them from scratch (the latter being more time consuming, thus more expensive).
Has anyone here ever looked into the previz employment market? I am considering it, and I was wondering what tools are being used by the pros, and what people that hire for previz expect you to know.
Is previz usually just down with something like Maya playblasts? I hear a lot of people looking toward things like Unreal Engine and other real time tools for it, at least in the near future. What about iClone? It's actually marketed toward previz artists, but I don't know how often it's used in actual productions.

Hello /3/
Im a newbie in 3dsmax and I dont know how to fix this issue, lets see if you guys can help me.
1 - I have this edge (A) and I want to chamfer it.
2 - Right button, Convert to Editable poly
3 - Select the edge, Chamfer
and..
this is what happens (B). It does chamfer but somehow it gets inverted at some point and it ends backwards. Is there any quick fix or something for this?
Thanks in advance
>>510267
It wont work with open edges. You need to add planes as if it were a physical mass.
>>510273
So isnt there any way for converting it to planes? I dont want to remake all the polygons
Use the create polygon tool to close any holes after making sure you have no "duplicate" vertices occupying the same point. If you do, use the weld or target weld function to connect them.
How the hell do you make alpha maps work in Marmoset Toolbag 2? I've looked online and for something that should be so obvious, finding an answer is about as easy as pulling your own teeth out.

Can someone please explain to me why every time I am trying to add an "edit patch" modifier, my quads are all triangulated? I'm watching a tutorial video that requires them to be quads. My model is a simple lathe and it's in quads until I apply the stupid modifier to edit patch. Please help.
you didn't even get dubs, let alone quads
So I'm doing the chess exercise in my intro to 3ds max course and I need to use the inset command for the rook for the battlements. However, when the inset is applied, the polygons go all over the place from the middle. What am I doing wrong? How can I fix this? No matter how many times I delete this object and redraw the line from scratch, when I get to this stage it fucks up again.
Upload project file so we can take a look.
Click the first field in the caddy and set it to Group. Then right click the second field to reset it to zero.
I fixed it by deleting some of the lines from the top and then redrawing them and welding the vertexes. Still p bad, but at least they're not clipping through themselves.

Yeah... Do the texturing again.
Does anyone know how to create a nice looking (but low poly and baked) ocean that I can import into Unity? I don't know how to make the material look good and, basically everything.
I'm pretty new to blender.
Also, the ocean kinda flows into a river and ends out in the ocean again, but it looks like the water melts through the island. How do I make it seem like the water is crashing or flowing?
>>509409
>blender
kek
>but it looks like the water melts through the island
yes. That's what happens when you just intersect a plane through geometry.
first you gotta into 3D, then use something better than blender.
come back when you have actually into 3D
Unlike these chucklefucks who have no idea how to answer your question but instead decided to shitpost. I'll provide some tips.
Texturing is vital for bodies of water, most 3d games with water uses an animated normal map to show water movement while others have some form of wave movement on the ocean model. If you looked at a river in Skyrim for example, you'd see that it's actually just a flat plane that has an animated texture on it.
For a blender animation, I'd just put a wave modifier on the middle of the island and adjust it so that it...

Computer Graphics/Computer Animation/3D Animation vs Computer Science?
I'd like to be on the more creative side of say a game, or a movie. But do they usually go without consistent work?
go for animation
>>507818
Any reasoning? I've read often that people might choose Computer Science while doing animation as a hobby.
But.. I'm not sure it this would be too much a headache.
>>507847
Computer SCIENCE is the "science" of computing. Best not to waste your time with that unless you want to at best work for google and refine search times by .2 seconds

Personal favourite is A. I don't like B. C is meh/okay, looks "gamey" if you know what I mean.

1st one because it has the skull and not the mouth. But overall the halos look odd. Maybe put some medival looking spikes around his head ?
Is there an online community or website where I can get decent materials for Keyshot (6)?
I designed this lamp but I'm not 100% satisfied with the results.

Try scaling the concrete way down.

Dont know, maybe he should just reduce the normal map value. The back of that thing looks very rough, wavey/uneven, dont know if thats intentional.

hey guys, whats a more idiot friendly engine to work on for someone who doesn't know anything about coding. unreal engine 4 or cryengine?
since my only 2 skills are modeling and animating i want to create an scifi zoo and fill it with all the creatures i modeled
and animated and have them just walk around.
i only tried cryengine once a while back and it took me 4 days and the help of like 7 people single animation into the game...
one thing i liked about cryengine tho was it had a really good prebuilt shading, lighting, water system and physics...

>i only tried cryengine once a while back and it took me 4 days and the help of like 7 people single animation into the game...
Yeah, Cryengine's import and export system is pretty cancerous, but no where near as bad as Source.
Anyways, UE4 has better shading and lighting systems, and can look even better if you want to bake light maps and shit.
