What CPU do you use for your 3D work?Do you prefer Intel or AMD?
If you upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 7 OEM, is the digital license tied to your hardware?If I wanted to change motherboards for a CPU upgrade, would I have to buy another Windows 10 license?
amd athlon2 x3
>>594228Yes and yes i think. OEM is tied to the hardware, changing the motherboard and CPU counts as new computer which technically it is.

>>593068there is a tris to quads function in blender. idk about rhino
>>592791You are mentally retarded.
>>593070>are you fucking seriousAre you? I model in NURBS. There is nothing wrong with Rhino as CAD software and Rhino is known for being one of the best free form surfacing tools for engineering purposes. I could care less if the mesh tool are basically non existent. I just want to make a mesh to paint for fun to make liveries lit up better than in PS to see them on panels that are designed to be made in the real world out of carbon fiber.>>593071Damn those are some interesting looking programs! Thanks. Sketch retopo seems really interesting, wonder if that type program will distort details while creating a new mesh.. only one way to find out.. I'll definitely be trying a few out later today and post results if I have success. >>593072Nice. Not sure, I know Rhino is pretty limited with poly stuff from the commands I've searched at least. Definitely should do more research on finding what would be best to get a base mesh.. I'll have to check if blender supports files imported as NURBS.
>>588285classism isnt making anybody take you any more seriously
What is missing with vfx? Why is it always possible to tell when it's cg? What do we need to overcome uncanny valley and achieve perfect photorealism?
>>585118 There is real time photorealistic CGI. Nvidia and Activision have demos for it. It's advanced mocapping essentially with very good skin WAS that's rendered in real time. It's the most convincing muscle deformation and skin I've ever seen. SSSS demo Nvidia faceworks
What's the point anyway in trying so hard to make real humans in films, when there's million of real humans to pick? I can understand when you are making alien-like creatures or monsters, but why spending millions of dollars and autistically adding pores, sweat and hair to make a normal guy in 3D?Moff Tarkin in Rogue One was absurd because they could have just used a real actor in make up. It won't be exactly like Peter Cushing, but who cares? Martin Landau in Ed Wood was really convincing as Bela Lugosi, and we didn't need to look at a reptilian CGI model that looked exactly like Bela Lugosi, but was floating around the screen.
>>594919>I know there are like millions of humans but I dont like any ovem. I demand 3D hhnnngg
It's so they can brag that they had the big bucks to fund it + CG is the magic solution for a lot of stupid execs, despite there being other, more convincing methods at half the cost.
>>595004It's completely bonkers and in their arrogance, the cheaper way of an actor with make up looks better and more alive. Also in Ed Wood, again, Vincent D'Onofrio did a great Orson Welles.We know Welles is dead, when don't want to look at a scary ultra realistic 3D zombie or an Andy Serkins puppet.
do i need a faggy university degree to work in the industry or just an impressive show reel,i am wasting my money on getting a bachelors degree at the moment also should i drop out ?
>>594622>at the moment my stuff is decentWhat do you base that baseless assessment off of? "Feedback" from people that don't want to hurt your feelings? People you're paying to teach you?Get fucking real faggot. You know what the difference is between a good artist and a great artist? A great artist listens to feedback and learns from it.
>>594667you are right,i guess i have to much enthusiasm and hope,i spent the last 6 years studying visual effects mostly compositing(photography,lightning,composition) and the last 2 just pure 3d,i was planning to use the next 3 years with the intention of creating at least 1 or 2 fully 3d short films and advertise them at film festivals but at the end i will most likely fall on my face.>>594672>Feedback" from people that don't want to hurt your feelings? not quite,i've been comparing my work with well known artist on artstation and every time i get closer and as you said most of the people that saw my work were impressed but their feedback is most likely dishonest.If i put the time and effort.I believe that i will achieve something and if it's good or bad only time can show.
>>594662It all depends on how much he needs a degree and what he wants it for, as well as the quality of the degree.A good school will give you industry-relevant assignments that you can expand on and built a portfolio with. On the other hand, there are schools that will have you model cats with nurbs and write 3000-word texts on the meaning of life. Time wasted doing shit like this is time you can't spend on 3D, and it kills your motivation, which is why some people are actually better dropping out and taking a sabbatical (if they can) to improve their art.
My suggestion and my opinion. Since you haven't told us which school you're in I will try to come up with a criteria for you to decide if it is worth spending your time in this school. 1.Teachers are good (have a decent portfolio) and you can get good critique from them. 2.There're enough assignments to challenge yourself to get best result. 3.Classmates are your friends and show interest in CG industry. 4.School keeps contact with industry. They invite proffesionals to tell you about how it is to work at companies and so you students also have ability to show their work to those who work in this industry. 5.School organizes social activities. 6.School grants you Bachelors papers when you finish it.If your school manage to do those 6 It's a worth school to spend time to.Also I highly recommend not to isolate yourself to work alone until you get good. Humans are social beings and we tend to do our things better when we surrounded by people like us.But maybe you did your calculations and decided that being in dept is not an option for school like this.Comment too long.

When I subdivide, one area doesn't subdivide at all while everything else does just fine.Whats the deal here?
>>592973BBS wheels aren't that rounded. They're almost all fillets on a milled faces, not rounded spokes... same with where spokes meet your outer barrel.Also none of these problems would happen if you were using glorious CAD. I'm actually curious how a NURBS BBS wheel would look converted to polygons...TLDR>what the fuck is going on herewrong program m8
>>592973yes, subdivision/smoothing errors are usually a sign that there are geometry errors
>>593116It's my first model so most of this stuff is still new to me.
>>592973You had vertices on the edge without edge connections. Cleanup gets rid of these. Sometimes you need to run it twice but please make sure you have related options enabled.Also exporting your object out as .obj and disabling the group etc options will get rid of everything else and clean up the structure if it's been imported from somewhere else. It's a good way to clean up unnecessary shit from models.
>>594951Sometimes merge vertices will also do the trick, depending of the issue. Make sure to check the fuse distance though.

how can i rip the 3d models from the psx version of THPS2?
>>594451They're probably going to be your best lead, lots of activity in FFHacktics still.
>>594427>requires devkitReally? We have psx emulators. Surely you could just hijack them from there at worst. I'm not someone who rips models. Just a software person. I'd run Nsight (or renderdoc etc) on the emulator, capture a frame and get the model and associated bound textures. Of course that's assuming the emulator is HW accelerated. With software rendering that'd be harder. But I imagine there's at least one open source psx emulator you could run and do some simple detective work on to get at the models.
>>594464Apparently the emulators just squash them on the Z axis or something.
>>594406>>594466PSX games have no z-buffer, there still are no emulators that have, z buffer support.
>>594739not true. there's a modded pcsx-r that implements it
Pls rate.
>>594181at this point you just need time. you already mastered the defining meshes
>>594181 Crypto CIA?
>>594181worst girl
Stop posting it on every board
>>594181>anime shit/10just stop.worst art style in history.warhol was better and that dude was terrible.
So I got this Rect/Transform/XYZ Axes issue where it's far off from the model. It needs to be "center" and not at the mesh joint. Anyone got this problem before? >can't change with Create Empty GameObject as parent>change origin in Blender doesn't do anythingIt could be a stray vector, unity bug or the model's massive boundary. Don't know if a plugin can solve this or with script coding.Model download link: https://bowlroll.net/file/55219
>>594773Yes there is. Shit graphics, shit performance, must pay for tons of stuff already included in unreal and cryengine.
>>594773it's made by effeminate eurotrash for buttsecks luvin retards. Normal people want to make games, not waste time coding from scratch
>>594834>I don't like Unity.I respect your opinion.
>>594838respect dick, bitch
>>594746Make sure you don't have any stray vertices or edges in your blender file - that could account for the enlarged bounding box.

>>594361These photos only really work on overcast days because you just know they would fuck up the shadows otherwise.
>>594361You idiot, as soon as you mention it's CG, people will have a retarded confirmation bias that it looks CG.How have none of you noticed this yet? Post this as a photo and jot down the reaction to it, you'll get a vastly different reaction compared to when announcing it's CG.

>playing 2017 vidya at the highest ultra settings>get closer and closer to wall>it gets flatter and flatter>as you get right up against it, the wall shows itself as just a flat plane, breaks all immersion>game claims to use photorealistic "PBR" renderingDefend yourself, /3/, if you even can.
>>594355Still more accurate though. And you can use denoising methods to achieve less noisy results.
>>593881just got a pc thats worth a shit and ran into this shit too. I advise alot of you just to wait into the middle of a console cycle if you wanna play vidya games for cheap cause the high power pc shit is overrated.
>>594530It's not technically possible yet to just model or scan everything. Maybe in a decade or so we can just load photoscanned high poly models into game engines with 8k textures and not worry about performance. But right now this isn't possible, especially when games need to be optimized for multiple platforms. Everything in CG is basically faking stuff in a way that makes it look real while still getting decent performance. That has nothing to do with anything being overrated. And once again, even if we could make games where we render a billion tris and use 32k maps, people would complain about having to download / install 1TB games.
>>594327>>594329>>594355>>594482why would noise be relevant anyway? just build your scenes properly and let the thing render for the time it needs friendogood renderers like arnold, vray, and renderman are super efficient now and, though biased, process physical-world parameters to incredible accuracyI highly prefer that to the real-time alternative with its spotchy fake GI and half-assed approximations. Don't get me wrong, RT still kick ass for what it does, but comparing it with proper rendering is just absurd.
>>594680Eventually we will have real time ray tracing tho. Don't remember where but I've seen a video of RT screen spaced ray traced GI that looked really good. And the architects who designed the new Nvidia HQ got access to their own Nvidia renderfarm for the project. There was a guy from Gensler who talked about that on the substance days at Gnomon school this year. He said they had so many gpus in there that they basically had real time ray tracing using iray. So as hardware becomes more powerful and algorithms improve, we get closer to having that shit available for the average user.
No one has reuploded them. IDK if anyone remembers them but one was about Franklin trying to get a coding job and another one involved Mr. Computer and Franklin in Japanese class.I really really want to re watch them.If anyone hasn't seen this show before, here is episode one:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGS0KYkO2H8

>try to do some simple task in blender>literally cannot even do anything without memorized hotkey and shortcuts>cannot change from object to vertex mode via the UI...defend this, shills. I am literally DUMBFOUNDED at how you EVER think this piece of shit will EVER end up as industry standard.
>>593556Yes, but by doing that they actually fucked the speed advantage you have by using Blender with shortcuts. Its also really ugly with all the icons. I sure as hell wouldn't use it nor recommend it.
>>593558Not really. Adding icons doesn't remove the shortcuts; the shortcuts are still there.
