/3/ - 3DCG

Idk man, I've been using Blender for multiple AAA projects...

and thank the god for this
the industry is ill

>>758639
WHERE were you* Fuck me

>>758649

Nice LARP

Holy shit why are you retards so obsessed with blender its honestly cringe

why should a hobbyist care then

>>758654
Hah, whatever you say. It's just funny to me that in 3D game art circles we're really happy working with blender and more and more people are trying it out, if not switching completely. And these are all AAA artists, including me. Blender is talked about all the time, people share workflow videos and other resources etc.

If you were actually in the industry you would know I guess. But it's easier to pretend and act like everyone just laughs at anyone using blender in le industry. Maybe it IS a case for other industries like movies, and I'd actually expect it, but it's certainly not the case in games at least.

I'm writing this for anyone reading this thread dreaming about working in 3DCG and I want to let them know they shouldn't immediately get discouraged for their choice of software. Practice, focus on becoming a good artist and not just a good particular tool user, and learn to adapt because you'll have to use various different software in a professional environment anyway.

>>758668
>we're really happy working with blender and more and more people are trying it out, if not switching completely.

The opposite happens frequently, you just choose to ignore it. No serious artist who wants to work in the industry would switch to Blender. Because believe it or not, internet circlejerking =/= real life. Studios still heavily rely on Max/Maya and the best artists on Artstation use either one of those. That's where the talent pool is.

All of these great artists who ''switch'' to blender will hit a wall sooner or later. Maybe because of Eevee's terrible performance with high definition textures, maybe the missing modeling tools (no edit poly modifier, cannot modify new object parameters after moving them, no radial symmetry, no good retopo tools, stone age UV tools). Just look at Arrimus 3d, he's still on Max months after making his little announcement video.

>And these are all AAA artists, including me.

Typical blendlet LARP.

You're not a real 3d artist unless you're utilizing every 3d application out there for what it's best at. Don't worry anon, after you've been modeling for a couple of years you'll realize that arguing about which polygonal model program is better is fucking retarded.

>>758676
Yeah ok I'll just stop responding to your baits.

>>758676
The radial mesh modifier is the only good point in that long strung out sentence of retardation.

"cannot modify new object paramaters after moving them"

Just a straight up lie, unless you're ignorant and dumb.

"No radial symmtery"

Have you been living under a rock for the last decade?

"No good retopo tools"

Learn how to do it manually you fucking retard.

"Stone age UV tools"

Again, learn how to do it manually retard.

>>758649

>>758677
>You're not a real 3d artist unless you're utilizing every 3d application out there for what it's best at.
Sure, but Blender is not the best at anything...

>>758706
>but Blender is not the best at anything...

>>758683
>Just a straight up lie, unless you're ignorant and dumb.

Ok so in Blender if I add a Cylinder, then move it, I can then click it again to change the amount of side it has? This is something very important and Blender is the only software that can't do this.

>Have you been living under a rock for the last decade?

It doesn't. You have to hack it by combining a boolean and a symmetry modifier. It's tedious and the result isn't good (the corner welding doesn't occur at the object's angle). It's a lot of setup for something every other software does by default.

>Learn how to do it manually you fucking retard.

Out of all 3d software, only Blender lacks good retopo tools.

>Again, learn how to do it manually retard.

So for every missing feature you're just going to parrot "DIY retard"? No wonder why Blender is lacking so many features with such deluded fanboys.

>>758649
Me too, as a 2d artist. Dont even need permissions to install it, just unzip and it works, less than 200mb. Imagine the hoops i'd need to jump through and money need to be dumped for a licensed alternative. Blender ftw.

>>758718

>>758639
I mod old games as a hobby, I would hate such a hobby to become my fulltime job, all of my passion for it would be sucked right out.

>even if you lose passion for it, at least you'll still somewhat enjoy what you're doing

Better to risk losing a passion for one of the hobbies than doing something professionally you absolutely hated from a start.

>>759017
Kind of ignores the fact that people get different things from different hobbies. I don't play video games to relax the same way I do with 3d stuff, modelling, texturing, sculpting animating is more zen to me.

I paint houses, it's laid back job that pays well.

>>759030
what's better for look dev then? Can you ray trace random walk SSS in a couple of clicks in zBrush? Didn't think so.

>>759031
The ones here who makes these threads - maybe. But you are deluding yourself if you think that the majority of people loves Blender and the fanboys attached to it.
>>759032
You are an idiot if you think the only choice besides Zbrush is Blender.
You do the lookdev with the render engine you'll do the final rendering.
If that is Eevee or Cycles, or Luxrender than Blender is the best - if it isn't than Blender is useless.

>>759033
I think most people are neutral towards it and a few trolls caught wind of a few sensitive fanboys and now try their best to trigger them.

>>759033
>You do the lookdev with the render engine you'll do the final rendering.
Not necessarily. Current engines look very similar to each other, and they rely on similar parameters for the most part, so it's often useful to do 80 % of lookdev on a GPU renderer, and only the rest in the final engine. Recent tech like Pixar's USD will only make this more common, I think.

>>759033
>>759033
>You do the lookdev with the render engine you'll do the final rendering
lol no you don't. Most shows use multiple engines. Redshift for dailies maybe Arnold for final, Clarisse for vast scenes. Cycles is a click away from sculpting and nothing else offers that instant lookdev feedback. Why does this fact hurt you so much? Is that much of your ego invested in NOT using certain software?

>>758639
idk, I make models with blender, print them out on my elegoo msla printer and paint them with vallejo game color acrylic paints.
who cares what the 3dcg industry standard is? kek!

>>759305
What the fuck do you know how it's really like in the industry? You even said you're not working in it yourself. Quit acting superior with your generic "le engineering" job. I earn more than most of the engineers in my country doing creative work for big corporations and studios and it is quite enjoyable, and so what? I evaded all the shitshow you amateurs like to talk about, because guess what - it depends where you work at. It can be an equal shitshow in any other industry as well.

>>759106
>>759166
But he right tho. no one program's good for everything. The fact that everyone seems to raise Blender or Maya above literally every other program, let alone themselves is fucking retarded and /3/ and its equally retarded jannies should be ashamed for letting these threads keep on being posted.

I throw their application in the trash when I find out they use only Blender and have no Autodesk proficiency from past experience. Nothing against them, but to teach people who should know the pipeline already is not something we do. If you had knowledge of Maya or 3DS you are fine and you can still use your program. But when you know only Blender it is just not worth it.

>>759827
T-that c-can't be true...

>>759828
Well, more like click and drag into the trash can but it's not actually that bad. If you know Maya or 3DS you are considered, even if Blender is your primary application. As long as you can pick either up proficiently it's not a problem. It's the individuals who specifically use Blender and won't convert to the pipeline installed to make things run smoothly. Blender has poor FBX support and it's not worth it to try and convert their bullshit. No harboring of ill will, it just isn't tolerated in a professional setting.

>>759827

Based

>>759828
>>759830
It's very reasonable. FBX has always been a weak point in Blender, and in my opinion the Foundation's refusal to use Autodesk's official SDK is a mistake. Hopefully, better support for USD in the future will make things easier for Blender in production.

>>758718
not him however.
>Ok so in Blender if I add a Cylinder, then move it, I can then click it again to change the amount of side it has?
No why would you ever want to do this? No seriously!? Why?!

Unless you are a total idiot. Real industry workflows have polygon limits and going:
>Awchually I decided to increase the poly count because I'm a fagot
Is a sure way to get fired from the 3D gaming industry.

Go and count how many sides you can see in cylinders in games.

>This is somethin
To literally who? If you are concept modeling simply use cinders 200 they literally look perfectly smooth no need to increase poly count after that.

Where are you using this non feature in? What industry? When? Why?


Better improve other tools then to try to implement a over complicated feature that literally no one seriously will use.

Let me guess you are one of the Max fags who model like retards for 30 minutes that any sane person would do in 10 minutes with separate objects and booleans. I laugh when I see Max failures model with their meme options of turning flat faces into circles and extruding.

>>760122
>Unless you are a total idiot. Real industry workflows have polygon limits and going:
>>Awchually I decided to increase the poly count because I'm a fagot
>Is a sure way to get fired from the 3D gaming industry.
>Go and count how many sides you can see in cylinders in games.

This is actually kinda not true anymore with UE5. Yeah, the difference in workflow is already noticeable. Visible faceting is a big no-no now. Just add that geo, it can be reduced in engine anyway if needed.

>>760137
>UE5
I don't know how to feel about that one.

>>760137
>we can magically use as many verts as we want
yah we'll see how well that plays out

>>760137
>it can be reduced in engine anyway if needed.
I really don't like the idea of encouraging modelers to export a 100 MB Zbrush blob just for a simple in-game marble pillar.
As for the whole subdivision thing, generally mobile character props use around 4-6 vertices for their circles/cylinders, while higher-end games will use around 12 for theirs with perfectly good results. It's not hard to manage your primitives and their polygon count if you planned ahead of time, so I'm not sure what's getting the guy so worked up in this regard.

>>760164
>>760166
Not as many as you want, at least for now, but definitely much more than before. However, just exporting a high poly is not a thing, as expected. Maybe in the future.

>>760122
>No why would you ever want to do this
It's called procedural modelling. Trust Blender to be stuck in the 90's.

>>760122
>No why would you ever want to do this? No seriously!? Why?!

Because let's say I want to move a cylinder near a boolean area. I need to play around with the number of sides the cylinder has to determine how many sides I need for a clean bool. Same with helixes. There are lots of [parameters and if I click outside the box I lose all the parameters and have to create another helix.

>Unless you are a total idiot. Real industry workflows have polygon limits and going:

Another ignorant blendlet comment. Low poly meshes have a limit of course, but high poly meshes don't. Try doing any serious high poly deco assets (with complex crests, repeating high poly patterns) in blender. Good luck.

>>760196
What is the benefit of this?
Give any example.

>>760202
>I need to play around with the number of sides the cylinder has to determine how many sides I need for a clean bool.
Literally what?

If you are making a game asset there is really no playing around (depending on game).

If you are making something for VFX then you already have big ass topology so going further is pointless.

>Try doing any serious high poly deco assets
Show examples. If its high poly you should not see the verts in the first place so going to bigger counts is pointless. 400 Cylinder VS 900 VS 999 is in most scenarios pointless, stay with 400.

Show exactly what you are talking about, if you can show a short video of the example then its perfect for explaining.

>>760219
Do some research and look it up yourself, blendlet.

where i work oldschool maya users are switching to blender. maya is pretty trash for gamedev. I think vfx people will be the only ones using it soon. Blender is still slightly worse than max and modo for gamedev though. I will only switch to blender when they innovate new workflows for modeling.

>>760235
Your local Blenderdom chapter is not "work", even if you think you are "working for the greater good". I've met a few of you already, your sect is a fucking joke.

>>760221
>Literally what?


Jesus christ it's not complicated. Let's say I want to carve a boolean on a subdivided object. Depending on the placement of the cylinder and the amount of polygons on the target, I need to change the cylinder's poly count to make it fit with the target, this way I'll get a cleaner boolean that will fit perfectly. I can't do that in Blender, but I can do it in every other software. Stop defending this shit, Blender has no reason not to have something so basic.

>Your livelihood is in the hands of blenderchads.

It really isn't. Nobody cares about Blender in the industry, and 10 pros switching on the entire planet doesn't mean shit. The only good thing about Blender is that it forced Autodesk to come up with affordable indie licenses (affordable for people who work, not like unemployed blendies).

Think through this once more. It's much more than 10 pros switching. Blender isn't an industry standard (and still for a good reason), but it isn't irrelevant anymore either.

Industry standard is a meaningless buzzword. Photoshop is a goddamn dumpster fire for 2D digital art and its "Industry standard".

The struggle is real

>>770537
You have to possess knowledge of like 10 different programs as a 3D artist, what's the problem in learning one more? Especially the one that is doing the same shit as the one you already know how to use, you just have to learn how it's done in a new software.

t. totally not a blender cultist

>>770537
That's me except for Maya. Still using my ancient student copy since there is no way in hell I'm renting software.

I should learn blender, but I'm an old dog, and that's a new trick for me.

>>768744
Lol why you think is relevant a 1yr old blender version? Oh yeah, max user, Blender actually improves at that timescale, sculpting is probably 3x faster as well as poly modeling.

>>770543
What is your work focused on?

Yeah me too, enjoy innovation for the next years with that lovely money making machine.

more like pajeet standard the industry is a fucking joke for 3D

Niggers, fucking download it and watch a fucking video for an hour or two.
If you just can't stand it then I guess start skipping meals and put that money towards your Autodesk subscription.

Nah man I get it from CGP, it's always on sale.

>>770869
don't mention that website, it triggers people who don't have access to it or its sister site.

>>770882

>>760548
how do you even pirate Maya? Adobes easy (CS6), but I stuck with Blender and ditched both Autodesk and Adobe because theyre bloat

>>758639
I'm pretty new to 3D. I was recommended Blender by people from the industry. Not even randos online, Im talking people I know. These people do not use Blender because of industry standards and they recognize all the shortcomings of Blender but they recommend it to beginners because of the wealth of knowledge surrounding it and the ease of use.

Point is, you can learn Blender and 99% of the knowledge transfers to other programs. Blender is perfect for amateurs which we all are here. Learning Blender isnt much different than learning the others, its a couple days of relearning. In general, Blender gets the job done just fine and is an easy and capable program.

>>771030
Are you sure those people didn't suggest you Blender only to keep you from entering the industry? Because that's what I do.

The reason blender is mostly hated is the fact that it's free.The word "free" is often seen as, It just sucks.. really, really sucks. Because a word said so.

"Free" as in it's comparable to an AVG free trial.

If it was not free in the first place and charged the same amount as other 3D software, people would like it more.

>>774408
Blender was proprietary once and cost money to own. It's only free now because it failed in the market and was sold for cheap to the "community" as a way of giving it a second chance.

So, no, people wouldn't use it more. If it cost more, no one would use it because it's lacking in comparison to other commercial software.

>>774408
That's just the reason it has an obnoxious fanbase. The reason people think Blender sucks is because Blender does, in fact, suck. If it was proprietary software and cost the same amount as everything else, you wouldn't even KNOW it exists, because until 2.8 its only standout feature was the fact that it could do "almost everything" the paid alternatives could, "almost as well". No one would buy Blender over Cinema4D for motion graphics, no one would buy it over Houdini for simulations, no one would buy it over Maya for rigging, no one would buy it over Premiere for video editing, no one would buy it over Substance for materials, no one would buy it over ZBrush for sculpting, no one would buy it over MD for cloth, no one would buy it over SketchUp/Fusion for CAD, no one would buy it over Unreal for realtime rendering, no one would buy Cycles over Corona or Renderman, and no one would have bought the Blender Game Engine over Unity. You might be able to tempt a few Modo users who like Blender's hard surface workflow better, but that's about it.

>>774411
>no one would buy it over Houdini for simulations,
you have to have a shitload of time to research houdini sims. Blender just works in a couple of hours learning.

>no one would buy it over Maya for rigging
no one uses stock maya to rig, studios all have custom tools built on top of it because the defaults are literally legacy

>>774412
>t. someone who has never used Houdini or worked at a studio
So does Cinema4D, and you shouldn't be using stock Blender to rig either. But feel free to replace rigging with "XGen" or "Bifrost" or other features Maya has.

>>774412
>you have to have a shitload of time to research houdini sims.
It's called acquiring a skill, and it's the reason Houdini artists get paid for their labor -- it's a difficult skill to achieve, but very much needed in production. That doing FX in Blender is easier is irrelevant when that practically has no professional demand.

>no one uses stock maya to rig, studios all have custom tools built on top of it because the defaults are literally legacy
You wouldn't be using stock Blender either if you had to do complex rigs. No DCC gives you all the tools you'll ever need -- their strength lies in offering you a solid framework to develop on top of. This is one of the main reasons why software like Maya and Houdini are dominant in big productions: that's where most needs for custom tools arise, and those programs are perfectly suited for tailored development.

Y’all shit in your hands and smear it into your eyes arguing about how X is better than Y. Shit man I would still model my tits if it meant fucking assigning every vertice by hand.

>>758718
Go ahead and post your work, so we can drive you to suicide by posting ours.

>>774979
D...do it.

>>774412
>you have to have a shitload of time to research houdini sims.
Not true. I was able to build my own custom pyro solver in 2 hours after watching an 45 minute tutorial.
>Blender just works in a couple of hours learning.
Blenders pyro solver is shit and slow with tons of tools missing. Houdini is not only faster in simulating but gives a much better result. The upfront investment of learning time, pays off 100x later.
>>774412
>no one uses stock maya to rig, studios all have custom tools built on top of it because the defaults are literally legacy
I use stock Maya with Mgear which is a free rigging framework and it easily shits all over anything that is available for Blender or any other DCC for that matter.
The tools you described as legacy outperform all other DCCs in flexibility, complexity and raw performance.

>>770537
You've learned two UIs and you have a decade of 3D experience, stop whining and just learn one more ui, it won't kill you, and it won't take that much of your time, anyway.

>>767445
Just pirate it all. Why would I pay years of savings for adobe software when I can pirate it and actually move forward with my life? Who's going to check your license when you apply for a job? Literally noone

>>774411
Well, you're not wrong. Using Marvelous Designer and Substance Painter myself and I can't really see Blender as an option for those things where its at currently. Of course I honestly never would have learned 3d art in the first place because there were very few options at the time.

>>760432
who`s andrew price?

>>775044
So what should I pirate? And while we're at it, do you know any tutorials worth pirating because if I have to watch another autistic retard ramble through his workflow and call it a tutorial on youtube I'll scream

>>758639
dude my company was about to switch to 3dsmax last year when blender 2.8 happened

Now we're still using both, but even our 13-year-experience 3dsmax guy is digging into it because, in his words, "3dsmax hasnt brought out anything worthwile since 2009"

I wouldnt work 3dsmax myself if it wasnt for our partners who require us to use the same workflow as them, which includes V-Ray shaders. Im still working 90% of my time either in blender or zbrush

>>775575
Donut Guru.

>>758704
I had to learn blender last year for my job, and its not a tiny company

Autodesk doesn't give a shit about Maya and 3dsmax anymore, they earn most of their shekels with CAT and industrial 3d

If you work with free software, why should the companies think you're worth any money?
You aren't showing any respect for the work they want, why should they have any respect for you?.

>>776271
>he says while using pirated software

i bought maya indie 1 year subscription last week because blender was too hard for me to animate in. I bought maya for animation and rigging only. i plan to model in blender, rig and animate in maya, export the animated scene to houdini for dynamics and render there with redshift. is this a good workflow?

>>776401
Yup, pretty solid arrangement.

>>776401
You don't need to render in Houdini, you can simply bring the dynamics/sims back into Maya and render with whatever is available there. I personally dislike the look of Redshift. Arnold looks better.

>>775608
>3dsmax hasnt brought out anything worthwile since 2009"

And what pray tell does it need extra?
Blenders "new things" are things every other program has had for decades. Like edge face and normal sliding of sub selection.

>>760432
Some guy was lamenting being hired by a cellphone game studio that used blender (because they couldn't afford autodesk, but also because they were young)
Dunno what happened with him and don't remember enough about the thread to find it

>>776271
Oh, like the companies give a shit about their employees either way? Technicolor probably doesn't give a shit as to whether you're an Autocuck or Blendet, just that you're a piece of disposable trash that can be replaced with an Indian.

>>766135
Why is that he constantly make Blender videos?

>>758639
Blender is fast becoming an equally competing software in game development. Especially indie and small studios. Will it REPLACE Maya? Probably not, but you arent hurting yourself learning Blender over Maya. These threads are the easist 100+ comment waste of time.

>>776780
Blender users are very active in mass platforms like YouTube, and love watching media about their toy and interacting with the creators. This is obviously a plus for any creator wishing to make money from their media.

EDIT: I meant tool, not toy. Clumsy fingers.

>>776783
>but you arent hurting yourself learning Blender over Maya
Or would I be? Modeling is arguably the most developed part of Blender, and if it ever becomes usable, learning it would only take a couple days, tops. Meanwhile, that time is better spent actually making things in one's current tool of choice.

>>776790
So, you're agreeing with me. I have Maya. I predominately use Maya. If my job switched to Blender that wouldnt be a big deal. Just take 3 days to learn it. So the only people acting like this matters are jobless shmucks.

Yet another Blender hate thread. Please get professional help. Also, fuck trump.

>>776854
Trump uses Blender. Where is your cube now?

>>776789
>EDIT
please go back

>>758677

This response gets posted in every thread on this topic, and despite it being true the thread keeps being made.

Every studio out there that isn't run by monkeys from animation studios to game companies knows that a good 3D artist is good no matter what they use ( Especially if those programs are Maya and Blender since they are more similar than most people realize ), and timely good results matter more than any of this bullshit.

>post a video about how amazing Blender is
>use a sim from Houdini

>>777332
Befitting audience.

>>777384

3DS Max is just objectively bad and has no reason to exist. If Autodesk wasn't retarded, they would just port all remaining unique Max functionality into Maya and just make Maya better. The fact that Autodesk has been passed up by GPL Blender commies in many aspect is a shameful dispray that could have been avoided if Autodesk didn't keep their software needlessly separated in hopes of baiting dumb paypig companies into buying both for a full package.

>>777496
OK Smoothbrain

>>777496
The reason why Autodesk doesn't do this is because they don't develop software. They just buy and sell it.

>>758718
lmao just use polyquilt for retopo you retard

>>777332
If you actually bothered to watch the video, he's demonstrating 2.91's openVDB support, not Mantaflow.

>>777496
kek, fucking blendlets

>>774410
Blender itself has always been free, it just wasn't always open source. It was originally shareware that they tried to sell services around.

>>778520
Plus the fact that there's still people making its users pay for certain addons.

>>775575
wholesome Australian donut man. his tutorials are actually pretty good for fundamentals and the only thing he shills for is his own asset collection (useless unless you want to make a bunch of IKEA catalogue houses, but very nicely made)
