>>794601
If you are using Zbrush, I reccomend using polygroups in tandem with Zremesher. Saves you A LOT of work. Topogun id also an option if you want full control over your topology.

Still learning texturing. Need some tutorials.

>>795018
caricature artists are actually GOOD at doing portraiture to begin with you mong.
You don't fail at drawing a likeness and then decide to do caricatures instead. It requires an understanding of drawing portraits and anatomy, which you obviously fucking lack.

uh oh, i think we're entering the "self-parody" stage of the dissolution of retard-anon's unwarranted self-identification as an artist. he's going to act retarded and make laughable shit "intentionally" to make it look like his previous failed attempts were also made in jest.

>>795221
Thanks! I have a background in programming so the transition wasn't too bad for me. I've been coding in Unity every day for 1.5 years now, and am finally starting to be able to build real user friendly environments. I wish I was better with blender, especially rigging and animation, but those processes are very time consuming and hard to scale.

>>794515

I'm struggling with proper lighting, but im getting closer.

>>795519
Increase the exposure because it's hard to see anything. I like to suggest to start with a super high exposure that burns parts of the image, and then dial it back a bit. That should get you to a good value.

>>795053
oh boy I can't wait to have another 3DGuy

>>795523
it's after compositing, I also have render without it, and in my opinion lighting looks flat, very flat.

>>795537
Increase contrast, basically kill the shadows. Why is it so illuminated from the right? Also, strengthen the key light.

>>795538
oh makes sense I will do it, thanks for advices.

>>795537
I know it's a distinctive feature of the "Star Trek" look to have a fill light pass over the beauty pass , but unless your scene takes place in orbit or the vicinity of a very bright phenomenon there is no reason to have these. Also very hard shadows.

Took another go at Will and made some big leaps after studying several Michael Pavlovich videos. After following his 2015 video on using spotlight with black and white photoshop-filter-find-edge reference photos to help sculpting with the aid of the timeline to remember views and my continued study of anatomy, i was able to construct a model that matched the photo from all views by using spotlight. Yet, it could go further. Only when I did a spotlight projection paint did he really show up and ofc, only with specific shaders since I had only 1 channel of information from my google images reference. Now that I know how to use spotlight for modelling and for painting, the possibilities are endless

>>795557

>>795564
soon, once ive gone back and redone the joker with spotlight modeling / projection painting

>>795557
you will never be a good 3d sculptor

>>795557
you could start an art exhibition. rooms after rooms of will smith "likenesses", each one completely unlike will smith but also different from all the others. a bold artistic project to portray will smith not directly, but by exploring the space of all the shapes that are nothing like him, so that the true will smith emerges from the exhaustion of all other possible shapes, necessarily implied by his own negation.

>>795669
I would attend.

>>795557
this still doesn't look like Will THAT much, but it's much more convincing than your last sculpt. good job anon, but always look forward to improving

Did another Joker, from scratch using my new techniques but had to work around difficulty because i wanted to challenge myself to doing a "not perfectly aligned" reference. Thus, I had only one view to really match from and I had to fill in the other views with my other references. In the end I believe the face is too square but its too late tonight to fix it

You're already challenged at functioning as a human being, let alone recreating one.
Who the fuck are you actually talking to in this thread with these posts, because the only people that actually respond are people who can see how fucked in the head you are. You've already told everyone that is willing to help you to fuck off.

No one is interested in your "process". Make a fucking blog or twitter and stay there. Or at the very least start namefagging.

you will never be good at 3d sculpting, genuinely. just like some people can't learn to play musical instruments beyond beginner level, you're permanently handicapped in terms of 3d skill. maybe you were just never good at art or not very creative too. it's ok to give up

Did some tweaks.

>>795765
You need better textures and the lighting is super flat, look up rim, key, fill lights

>>795767
If you want unrealistic lighting for a space scene, yes.

see >>795544

Working on hair textures using gmh2 but I'll have to start over since I fucked up the hair volume and uv's

>>795769
Unless it's a purely scientific rendering, making something look good always takes priority over whether something is "realistic" or not.
No one cares if the lighting is "realistic" if it's dull as fuck.

>>795776

>>795780
This is what he (you?) should do with that render - change the angle of the light so one part of the ship is in almost complete darkness. It is hitting it from the worst angle, making the lighting look flat. You don't need to add fill lights, just rotate the light source. But it looks like you already have multiple light sources in there, and their values are too similar. Study some nice space lighting like pic related and recreate it. Go to photoshop, change it to black&white and check the levels, do anything you need to figure out what they are doing right to make it look good. The contrast in pic related is huge compared to your pic as well, realize just how intense that light source is.

Did a few more hours on the Joker. Decided to take a chance and projection polypaint the hair as diffuse only instead of using fibermesh and the arnold hair shader and it worked out and looks better. Turns out that the previous polypaint that I had been exporting out as vertex colors and rendering in arnold wasn't in the correct color space and wasnt playing nice with ACES. Fixed that. Now I'm using the spotlight projected texture in conjunction with arnold sss - all in the right colorspace now. I asked myself if projection painting from your reference onto your model is cheating and i dont think it is at this stage because i just use it to get the proportions correct and as a placeholder. Glad I didnt give up, I learned so much about proper workflow

>>795804
Why are you worrying about colorspace at this stage? ffs.

>>795809
it makes a huge difference. The default colorspace of vertex colors is way off to the point where what i was seeing in zbrush viewport was looking much better than what i saw out of arnold

>>795683
wtf is that software anon

RATE MY ART BROS :D

>>795780
That's realistic, but also visually appealing. Yours just plain isn't.

>>795810
You shouldn't even be projection painting you mong. You're seeing shapes and values that are on the photo itself and thinking it's actual geometry that you have in your own sculpt.
Fucking around with color spaces and other shit isn't going to help the fundamental problem. You straight up can not see. That's why you can't sculpt.
As an "artist", you're fucking blind. You can't see volume, you can't see form, you can't see shapes, angles, or proportions, you can't see color, you can't see value, you are unable to see anything that's directly in front of you.

You're in a snowstorm surrounded by fog, and all you can see are shadows of what you're walking/working towards. You know where you want to be, but until you get out of that storm, you're hopelessly lost. And to top it all off, all you brought was a book on how to navigate a snowstorm that's in Chinese and you're wearing a t-shirt and shorts.
Turn back, stay cozy in your cabin and learn how to "navigate", practice your skills, learn how to see, and wait for the storm to subside.

Basically, going literal instead of metaphorical, stop sculpting people, stop thinking you can solve an artistic problem with technical skill (which you also don't have), and approach the subject 6 months from now after you look at another human being.

mate, i match the sculpt up to the photo 1:1 using the spotlight sculpting method as described by both michael pavlovich and official zbrush zclassroom videos. I then project a photo, again 1:1. Your post doesnt make sense. Its just a crab in the bucket post.

>>795917
Never change bro, love your work.

>>795917
then how come your scientifically correct method of producing 1:1 perfect likenesses results in sculpts that don't even look human, let alone resemble the subject? no one would ever recognize that last will smith if it wasn't labeled. he looks like a piece of rotting fruit. he looks like the morticians did what they could to reconstruct his obliterated skull but the family really shouldn't have insisted on an open casket. his ear is like a coiled tentacle! have you ever seen an ear?

Respect to the people who can model complex hard surface stuff, I've been modeling a vehicle for a few days and I lost my will to live. Incredibly mind numbing, even though I'm designing the thing as well. Just give me zbrush and let me sculpt shit, I'm sick of all those little subd modeled machine pieces.

Imagine hating your own job so much that you get this jealous about sculptors just having unironic fun and enjoyment doing shitty sculpts that you need to throw around Incel terminology on a Indonesian dumpling frying forum to convince yourself that the work you're doing is somehow superior.
Also, never claim that XY is superior without posting pictures of your own work of XY.

>>795988
>jealous about sculptors
lol no

>>795989
Then stop sounding like an insecure bitch.

>>795991
Like you basically?!

>>795988
So this is the power of sculpting...

>>795981
Trying to compare those 2 things like they don't belong together as equal parts of a workflow just tells us everything we need to know about your experience in 3D. And actually taking pride in only working with one of those things just shows you're not that bright either.

"Artists" who think technical complexity defines the quality of a work are the worst kind of "artists" by a mile. Maybe you should have just learnt CAD instead.

>>795917
just because you are following a method/workflow that a professional uses does not mean you will not make any mistakes
Especially something like anatomy and faces
Instead of sculpting a likeness(one of the hardest things to sculpt) you should focuse on the basics.
Proportions, Landmarks, Planes of the face, gesture sculpting, sculpting individual elements of the face and trying to make them look good in a vaccum before trying to tackle an entire head

You are biting off 20x more than you can chew.

>>795988

-Learn how to texture

Griffoness. This is my first model. Constructive criticism welcome.

I'm especially looking for hints on how to get the claws and paws better.

Ayy LMAO

Stepped up to the challenge thrown down by some anons and sculpted the madman from scratch in a different pose. Clipped out everything but the pose in the picture. Unhappy with the jaw and mouth despite it fitting the front angle. Regarding texturing - I gain information by projection texturing but thats the point - why do something if you actually lose gains? Why waste time recreating all of Mr J's tattoos and makeup et cetera when I can just paint through? Anyways...

Not bad for a first time model.
The proportions and stuff are good, can tell you have some art experience. The actual topology and edge-flow are a bit wonky though. Keep going with this model and finish it, just take notes on where things went wrong, your topo will get better over time with practice on different models.

For the claws themselves, try to get the "fingers" or whatever to be circular before extruding them out. If you have the Loop-tools addon enabled, you can press W>Looptools>Circle to get selected verts to conform to a circle. For organic shapes it's pretty useful.

>>796126
Can you teach me this workflow it looks sick!

>>796126
I see progress. Surprising, really, but welcome.

>>796133
I'm working off references I got commissioned, but that's high praise. Thanks.

What can I do to fix the wonky edge-flow? I toggled on smoothing and the shading there seems to hint at some places where things could be better.

I'll have to look into that add-on. Could be helpful.

video by pavlovich that inspired this workflow, but with multiple views on one sheet instead of one (as i said, you likely wont have this luxury in celebrity photos and will have to use other non aligned ref on the side)

>>796126
This actually looks decent compared to the rest of your sculpts, wtf. But that's probably because of that projection method you're using. How does it look from the sides and back? I guess not that great. This just creates some depth to the picture. I remember some guy on r/blender doing a similar thing by posting his Ronald Reagan sculpts. He never wanted to show the sides of the sculpt. Then one time he did it and it was literally a blob with a projected picture on top of it lol. I don't think you benefit or gain any skill with this technique as you're still not actually sculpting it from scratch by yourself and depend on the reference picture. Now do this from a line drawing and tell me how it goes. It's almost like a photogrammetry. I guess it could be useful for some background objects, but that's it. I wonder if it can be used for sculpting foliage, as that gets baked to a texture from one angle anyway.

>>796167
>What can I do to fix the wonky edge-flow?
Don't worry about it for this project, since there's not really any fix for it, you'd essentially have to re-make it to have proper flow.
Just keep on truckin and learning, and if you really need this done, come back to it when you have a bit more practice. For what it's worth you've got a good profile and silhouette, so it shouldn't take you too long to pick up the basics.

>>796183
>How does it look from the sides and back? I guess not that great.
i spent minimial time on the side and no time on the back because the reference was from the front my dude
>I don't think you benefit or gain any skill with this technique as you're still not actually sculpting it from scratch by yourself and depend on the reference picture.
i sculpted everything from scratch like i said, and i follow the spotlight method which by definition has you sculpting to match one view and fill in the rest with other references

>Now do this from a line drawing and tell me how it goes
why would i use 2d cartoon ref when im doing 3d? My process would be i would be the same and it would still work as im just looking at the outlines

>>796185

there are websites that take pictures of faces, generate a depth map from the contours, turn that into a mesh and project the image back onto it.

>796193
>You're learning nothing from this tho.
I need 3d models that match the ref. Pavlovich and official zclassroom videos both say this is the way. And yet...some anon who doesnt even post their work wants me to go against the officiial workflow. Predictable.

>>796197
As seen from >>796127 I have a full 3d model that you can rotate around and if I wanted could be rigged and animated. Stay mad.

>>796206
you can rotate it 5 degrees, and rigging it would be just as effective as puppeting it in photoshop.
that's a picture with some depth.

>>796206
>I have a full 3d model that you can rotate around and if I wanted could be rigged and animated.
You don't have a full model because you're afraid of creating anything outside of what can seen on that picture - because you couldn't sculpt a pebble without a reference image imported straight into ZBrush.

>>796208
you sound furious dude

>>796209
He’s right doe

Wanted to see how much ive progressed in 3 months...so started a fresh Arthur...as you can see i am now able to match the proportions and pose exactly. He has so much more life now when before he was just a dead king. And yet this isnt even a fair comparison since I didnt even bring him into substance and raise him to his true potential...

>>796213
he modeled it after the top of his own head

Im getting better about using plates to separate elements out. The floor, cabinet, and text are all separate.

Im on my laptop so rendering the cabinet and bg constantly would take forever. Will use EEVEE for the effects and game coming out of the screen shit.

The floor texture is giving me eye cancer.
It might be authentic, I know those were eyecancer IRL back in the day, but maybe try using something less... busy...

>>796293
Thanks! Most of the elements aren't final, especially bg stuff, I will definitely try yours, it fits the cyberpunk aesthetic better too.

Hey, I only have a rough idea what I'm doing with rigging here. Using 3ds max. When I attach a Link Constraint from the foot bone of this ik it sends the bone off its position. Anyone know why this might be happening?

I'm having a hard time finding good tutorials for constraints and controls for character rigs.

starting on a car project built some splines based on photos

>>796291
the wood grain isn't true to its real life scale, the cabinet looks miniature, also more into the wooden sides, they often had veneers and rubber trumps for the thin edge. also i think irl, the wood grain would be vertical instead of horizontal. adding those details could increase the realism. the rest looks solid

>>796329
Thanks for the input! I saw some of that as well but my laptop is slow so Its been rendering.

You have a good eye.

>>796288
I dont want to bring you down but man did you take three months of break? Are you serious about 3D or just a hobbyist.

>>796342

>>796318

Me again.

I started over in Maya. How do I mirror these constraints?

>>796288
What is _wrong_ with the model on the left that makes you say this? Besides the feet, it is much more accurate to Ghouls and Ghosts and i did it in a fraction of the time that the right took me.

>>796397
i mean, i will iterate again, i am looking at tutorials on sculpting armor now

>>796288
>>796397
I don't feel it's fair to yourself to compare a really rough work in progresa to an earlier finished and polished model.
The silhouette on the new one would indeed be better than the old one compared to the original, so in terms of proportion you got better.
The biggest issue I see you doing is creating multiple parts out of one mesh, try to make every armor piece a seperate subtool like on a real armor, you can dynamesh it anyways so therr is no point in trying to sculpt the way you a re currently sculpting.
Also don't waste your time texturing an unfinished sculpt.

>>796401
I'm polypainting, which is done really quickly and doesnt need uvs and keeps me on model

>>796405
please never stop posting. your work is absolute garbage and worthless but I don't think I'll ever get tired of your dilettante-ass writing

>>796413
what?

>>796413
I think you're mixing him up with Damaged Will Smith, I don't think this is the same guy.
>>796405
Yeah, just finish sculpting first, don't jump to polypainting.

>>796418
i dunno brother, they write the exact same way

>>796420
Its the same guy, but his work isnt that bad. Ive seen a lot worse in art school when I went.

Still need to add cool effects. And honestly cyberpunk is just a placeholder I'm welcome to any ideas that would be cool.

Thinking a blade runner cabinet with a hologram unicorn origami coming out

>>796425
It's not about him being bad, beginners get roasted at worst, but if you can't handle this you shouldn't even use 4chan.
The problem is the guys attitude.

>>796430
looking good, really liking the look of the veneer, but did you use a miniature as a ref? the buttons and coin slot look massive

Working on doing panel loop armor. Removed polypaint except from the eyes and tested a real render in maya. Loving the panel loop armor workflow.

I guess I'll uninstall it and install 6.3.39-1 now that you say it, I didn't have issues until I updated a few weeks ago.

>>796490
what's up with the shadow hatching on the rocks?

>>796493
Some lighting bug probably, lights are all dynamic atm, they will be baked later on.

>>796430
Don't just cut off the floor into the background, it looks trashy. Fade it into the distance or something.

>>796485
is that...

>>796485
did you kill and restart the actual service? not the process, the service.

Finished the panel loops. Found a save of my polypaint for the head so i added it back in with a quick export to texture and ran it through arnold. Did the feet and hands which also have panel loop armor. Just missing the belt now. Half thinking of texturing him in substance. Thoughts?

>>796546
looks like shit my guy
actually looks like your model has been eating shit and got some around his mouth

>>796546
How can a person who made this look at this and think
"Yep, looks good to me."
I just can't imagine another person's brain looking at the slots in the helmet that look like wet lasagna noodles and aren't even the same fucking size compared to themselves, and think that not only were the model was anywhere near done, but that it actually looks passable. And that it somehow resembles the actual art.
It looks as if a literal child has drawn it, but somehow it's in 3d.

It's baffling that there's people so dug fucking far into the trench of Dunning-Krugerland that this can happen. They've managed to be at the very bottom of the curve, and some-fucking-how, they've managed to go underneath it.

>>796546
Can you make a high res render, please?

>>796558

>>796430
>cyberpunk is just a placeholder
thank god, all this fanboy shit on artstation makes me wanna puke

>>796571
as opposed to the organic sculpting in the pic which looks extremely good and very professional

>>796574
Fair point, but I don’t find melting face as offensive as melting armor

>>795557
thanks for posting the wires my man! topology's looking clean!

>>796529
Yes, how could you tell?

>>796447
I guess I wanted them to stand out, but you are right I'll shrink em a bit!

>>796506
Still temporary bg elements, I have a bad habit of taking the post processing on early. But I like to get a sense of where the idea is going. I agree with your advice thanks!

>>796573
Hahaha agreed, havent played it or anything just picked something topical. Was thinking of even making it a goof on the game by having a bugged out T pose hologram coming out or something

Redid the visor. Used trim curve to clean up the armor. Added the belt. Went over to substance painter and added uvs to everything but in the end it didnt look right making his armor look weathered because he's supposed to be the king and have new armor, same as in every ref. So i lost time there. Constructive crits are welcome,

>>796628
>Constructive crits are welcome,
I suggest you do a couple of courses on sculpting basic (non-organic) shapes.

>>796591

>>796635
Do you have know any good tutorials?

>>796635
Any concrete advice besides seek others for advice? Are you saying >>796628 is not similar to >>796397? What is off? The new helmet is too thick? Legs too thick? Torso too thick? Head too small?

>>796651
work on you are anatomy

>>796663
also, what specific tutorials are you referring to, any?

>>796675
Shut the fuck up his anatomy is good

My wood got a bit fucky while trying to add some procedural wear on the bottom. Still plenty to do, took some of your advice on scaling.

bro can you link those bog models i need them

>>796700
>wood got a bit fucky
Yeah no kidding. For what it's worth though, if you're doing a veneer, you shouldn't have any height data on your wood. Considering veneer doesn't actually have depth depending on the grain. It might have some super small bumps, but you have to be so close to see it that it's not worth putting in.

I think the texturing on the yellow areas look a bit gross too. Just looks like noise maps plugged into the bump, which makes it looks like some 90s texture or something in the worst way.
Lastly, everything looks "too" glossy. Like it's all wet. I'd dial it back some more.

Scale is looking better though, looks less like a miniature. Coin area still looks huge though.

>Nah, just samefag defending himself.
Please don't accuse me of samefagging, I'm working on proper anatomy studies outside of this and Gigachad is basically just a funsculpt for shits and giggles.
In this case the source material isn't anatomically correct either, Gigachad is pretty much an impossible Photoshop abomination.
I'm trying and I'm not quite there yet.

Whoa, I really love the lighting and editing on this. Is it all in camera/compositing?

Getting near the end of this project I think. Still gotta do the eevee animation on top. I'm excited to get it on my desktop though it will make it so much easier to add and iterate.

Later on he says that zmodeler was too hard for him and he's not good at it while recommending zbrush block out to maya quad draw or blender retopology workflow while himself using Modo.

>In this case the source material isn't anatomically correct either, Gigachad is pretty much an impossible Photoshop abomination.
hes a slightly modified bodybuilder that cut for the photoshoot, hes not far off from how the guy actually looks
your model still has anatomical problems, your building up muscle mass without establishing all main body landmarks

>>797083
I know, I'm going to put more effort into studying proper anatomy again instead of trying to copy from images. Besides that, I feel the sculpt went down uncanny valley, two days later it looks more like the result of some terrible video game character creator to me.
Also:
>hes a slightly modified bodybuilder that cut for the photoshoot, hes not far off from how the guy actually looks
The Gigachad images are definitely heavily modified.

>>796989
No, I didn't post that. I called him a samefag.
Did you just reply without looking at the post?

>>797094
Why was there a need to modify this guy at all. Seems chad like enough.

Any tips on lighting, or scenery?

>>797103
Nah, it's perfect.

>>796925
Kys fag his anatomy is good. What doesn't look right to you anyway?

>>797047
Thanks. Yeah, everything is in camera, realtime. Still a heavy wip, but for now I'm just building up fundamentals of each scene, so I'm switching to another one.

>"As you're sculpting, make sure you go through with polypaint to divide your meshes with material blockout to keep yourself in check. you might be surprised and see areas where your model needs to be refined a little bit more or some things need to be broken off"

So, I will keep doing quick polypaints ;)

That's a different guy, according to the description at least

Me speed sculpting vs me watching hentai after sculpting.

>>797178
Yeah I know it says to be a different guy, but me and some other Anons went down that rabbithole before and came to the conclusion that "Ernest Khalimov" doesn't exist, if you look for the name you only find the usual meme images.
It just seems to be a fake person that has been created by this russian chick who is a photographer that specialized on bodybuilders, seemingly stitched together pieces of other bodybuilders under a heavy coat of photoshop.
The most obvious evidence for Artur Farad being the base for Gigachads head is the ears, because those are pretty much untouched.

>>796675
??? Its fine.

So, I tried sculpting a (stylized) character again, after years of not trying it because I thought I suck at it
and it is actually quite fun to do so.
The end result looks like an mixture of old John Wayne with a littlebit of Shrek and the Hulk thrown into the mix.
Not too bad for a start. I actually based this loosely on some caricatures from Manfred Deix. Look him him up if you ever want to do ugly people with retarded faces.

>>797061

>>797371
yo, thanks
>>797373
yes, great find. I remember him from the series, exactly the kind of mobster face I wanted to create.
He definitely was an influence but while sculpting I was not aware of it, he was sneaking around in my subconscious.
Hell, its been 2 years since I saw the series (Babylon Berlin).
But that nose and that mouth is pretty close, I wish I had it as reference before starting.

I'm making a loli

Nice. The mouth needs some work (you need to make it more sharp).

The entire thing looks like a cheep plastic made figurine with glossy paint that did not land in the right place.
