Hey /3/, this is my first time posting here. I usually browse /b/ and i got some inspiration from it. I posted this on /b/ but I realized there was a 3D Modelling board c:
You have 4 hours to make this, fully textured and everything. Do it, and you're welcome here.

I've been putting it off doing this Windows 10 upgrade, but this shit keeps bugging me and now it's starting to download the update automatically without me asking it to. So, if I do the upgrade should I be concerned about compatibility with my 3D programs? I use 3ds Max with plugins like FumeFX, as well as ZBrush and occasionally other programs like Speedtree, RealFlow, etc. Will all of this work like it would in Windows 7, even if I use older versions?
windows 10 is a downgrade and cashgrab from win7

So I should wait it out? I think the free upgrade expires in July, so I have some time. How is it a downgrade? Besides the privacy issues.

I'm working on a game in Unity that uses this model as a base, allowing players to create their own character using sliders. I know Unity has support for Blendshapes which I intend to use for facial expressions. In older games I noticed that some used their armature to change the characters, though I'm not sure if that's still the case these days. Others have a few base shapes and interpolate between them, I think even Fallout 4 does this but then again it's Bethesda's using the same engine since last millennium.
Should I create the sliders for...

Here are some screens of my current rig, I don't have any facial bones yet besides some for the eyes.

If we're talking mmo level character scaling and customization, then armature/bones woulb be best. Breasts are probably gonna need a mix of both bones and blendshapes. As long as the base skeleton rig for each body has the exact same number of bones and hiearchy then you should be fine.

I have several questions..
as someone struggling with complex mech creation do you think the people who model these kind of detailed mechs model it from scratch or use kitbash it for a library of mechanical parts (heard thats the best way to do it. talked to a guy oce who made this cool robot and he said doing it from scratch clouds your mind and makes you lose vision of the whole thing while you model 1 piece at a time)
also if you kitbash a high poly mech like this how would you retopo it for games?
last question. how do you even unwrap and texture something...

Kitbashing is the lowest you can get when doing 3D stuff. It's literally lower than furries, zbrush blobmonsters and adding lensflares in your renders. It's taking what someone else made, piling them together and saying "LOOK WAT I MADE GUISE"
>>505299
i didnt say taking what others made and putting it together. creating your own library.
>>505298
Could anyone enlight me on how a robot like that would be made to use in movie/advertising CG?
I feel like if you were to actually model every component and strap it together, it would be a hilariously high poly and inneficient model.
anyone know any good tutorials for making hair? i've been looking around but i can't seem to find any

What does /3/ think of modo? how does it compare with industry standards in- Film
product visualisation
advertising
ach viz
games
etc
yes its viable
for small studio you might want to learn blender but modo interface is easier
just get the damn program and play around with it. its modeling tools and interface are ahead of the pack. i'm still a heavy max user when it comes to modeling due to the abundance of scripts, but modo is catching up real fast because they actually listen, research and cater to the needs of artists, not engineers. i'll be switching to it entirely next year if autodesk releases another half-assed bloatware while maya receives all the goodies.
>>502973
not to mention i had to revert back to 2015 max due to shitty memory leak they introduced with their crappy service pack in 2016.
I'm looking at a laptop so I can work away from home a couple days a week. It will be used for real time PC game stuff in Unity. With some minor Maya and Photoshop type work to support that.
I'm looking at the Dell XPS range. So I can afford the cheaper models. Which one should I get? ps. Prices are a little lower than listed because Dell's sales people agreed to cut the price £70-100 when I said I was looking at the MacBook Pro.
If you are just using unity, Maya and photoshop then I would say a dell xps is overkill. Personally I would go with something cheaper, although a dell xps could be useful if you decide to do some work with unreal engine 4 or something.

Can you recommend some alternative models? I want something that will not need replacing in two years as well.

Hi /3/ I am really trying to figure out a good workflow for very high poly zbrush models and rendering out small animations through maya/3ds max whichever works better. I've noticed so far after following tutorials I mostly just get errors trying to texture in zbrush and export the uv maps / texture maps. so from what i remember, you need to just export the zbrush model zremeshed low poly to maya along with the high poly texture and other info from zbrush. where do you do the uv mapping and at what point?
Also if you are using zremesher for human body / face, at...

1. You user ZRemesher after you know you're done making any major/medium form changes (like, after you're done getting your ear folds in, do this on a separate subtool though).
2. You can export textured maps fine from ZBrush... just make sure you increase the UV Map Border size in your UV Map settings before you do "Texture from Polypaint". And use UVMaster to unfold the ZRemeshed model before doing your reprojections.

does this guy sculpt then pose?
Do any of you guys know how to download videos from PluralSight (formerly known as Digital Tutors) or sights like Udemy? My internet cap is fairly small and thus I can't really afford to stream videos all the time. I know Plural Sight had some kind of offline viewer but it used some kind of token system or something and would only allow you to download a few videos at a time which isn't particularly idea for me
>>505377
Go get a new ISP (one that isn't strict on data caps like Time Warner or Google Fiber), move out of the boonies if you have to.

hey there fellows.
I'm stumbling into so many tutorials for creating 3D mashes from specific grayscale images, but I'm having a hard time finding how those images are made - some clever site says, maybe ironically, "they are made from 3D models".
Is there any tutorial on how to create 3D grayscale images from a picture?

>>505334
>3d mashes
sorry for typo, it's meshes. I know.
no you fucking retard
Why does importing a .3ds file into Blender always end up looking like this?
Part of the model is the correct size while the other is tiny as fuck and splattered all over the screen and there are those DUMMY files and everything is a giant fucking clusterfuck
Should I just give up trying to import .3ds into Blender?
>>505186
You should import it with xform reseted and as a single part probably
>>505228
Theres no options for any of that in the import menu, its very bare, mainly just size constraint.
how would i go about fixing the forehead on this model, pacifically the part wear the top part of the eyes connect to it
Bring the brow forward, especially just above the middle of the eyes, it looks as if the eyelids flow into the brow which looks unnatural. You might also want to smooth and bring the edge loops more in one line. Spread them out a bit, especially near the middle to prevent harsh transitions.
Other things you might want to look at is the mouth, the lips have too much distance between each other. Also smooth the corner indent of the mouth or bring it more into the face. You also have a triangle and two pentagons near the eye.
>>505158
thanks
>>505134
The forehead is bulging forward too much in the center of the forehead. Women have flatter, straighter foreheads that mostly go straight up until near the top of the frontal bone.
The eyes are a bit too far apart.
You may want to establish the epicanthic fold above the eyelids.
Adding tear ducts to the eyes and making sure that the top eyelid overlaps the lower lid on the lateral side of the face will add a lot of realism to your sculpts.
Hello 3, i need help. I'm desperatly trying to model the inner mouth of Agumon. And its been a pain in the ass so far.
I tried extruding, i tried doing the gums as another object and still i cant get a good result from it.
After finishing this mouth, im going to import to ZBrush and do the details. But i'm stuck at this part..
Pls help, pic related
Reference an alligator/crocodile's mouth, since agumon's teeth stick out when his mouth is closed.
