Shit man, I can't fucking wait for 2.8 to be ready. I know it's technically possible to use it by now but many addons I use are not ported yet and I prefer a stable version over the new beta and its issues.

BUT STILL, the new features look so fucking awesome and from what I've seen the UI changes mostly make sense too and are reasonable (apart from the newfag spoonfeeding icons but I guess nowadays it's necessary).
I just hope it will be stable enough around next April and fuck I'd love to see improvements in the sculpting area next year. One can hope and I will probably also donate.

It's a tricky subject with a lot of gray area. Basically it depends on how tightly integrated the plugin is with the rest of Blender code. For FLIP fluids, the plugin needs to be compiled and built against Blender, so it has to be open source. On the other end there's Auto-Rig Pro, which relies on external data files to work (i.e. .blend files containing the base rigs), and those parts of the plugin don't fall under the GPL.

A second issue is that FLIP fluid is only required to distribute the source code, and has every incentive to make it difficult to compile yourself.

I wonder if there's some initiative to completely rewrite the sculpting engine.

For example, making you work on some kinda pixel proxy representation instead of doing changes to the actual mesh in realtime. You'd see a representation of the mesh that looks like your mesh but in reality you manipulate pixelbased and as you go, your changes get translated to the actual mesh inside the sculpting engine.
Blender always shits the bed if you go high density, that's the biggest reason why you mostly see busts and not a lot of complete body sculpts (or the bodies put together of several parts later).

Nobody needs it. If you are having performance issues odds are you are sculping in dintopo mode which is stupis and you shouls use multiresolution instead.

Zbrush became an esoteric clusterfuck because it evolved from a pseudo-3d texture painting software now it's in an evolutionary dead end.

First time posting here. I'm having a problem with a mesh I did for a specific game, trying to mod new clothes for it. In game, it turns out all jagged and wrong, with spikes and some parts being transparent, but on Blender it looks normal and fine.

Perhaps try to ctrl-a and apply scale, rotation or location. Just save it first, not sure if it will fuck up some of the modifiers or whatever.

Also go into edit mode, select all your geometry, hit space and search for "make normals consistent" too see if some of your faces have flipped normals

I want to make a tentacle that restrains one of my models for obvious purposes. Now I can model one, and I can set up various rigs with curves, spline ik, hooks, etc etc. However, I want to have the tentacle wrap around the model's arm, say, 3/4/5 times. How would I do this without having to add a ridiculous number of control points, whether bones or hooks or whatever? I can move it around just fine with five control points, but wrapping around things seems like I'd need to add many more with my current methods.

Hi /3/ I'm new to Blender but really would like to get into modeling. I'm a big fan of games and animation so it seems like a fun thing to learn.

Besides Blender Guru is there anything I could watch to learn more when I cant be practicing? I've been trying to read the manual in my spare time so I can learn more about the tools blender gives to me.

Thanks:)

Dynotopo is amazing for adding TINY details AFTER you're pretty much done with the main shape of the sculpt.

Just remember that your uv map and any other vertex data goes out the window. Your quads will become triangles, not only locally where you sculpt. It's just how it works in all programs with dynamic topology. So fuck your topology and Edge flows, and good luck uv mapping the bitch if you don't know how to retopologize.

Good thing is that if you can learn how to sculpt, you definitely can learn how to retopologize. And if you don't care about image maps and can use procedural textures instead, it doesn't matter either.

Forgot to say that it works really great to use multires on your shrink wrapped retopologized mesh. You don't have to loose all the detail of your dyntopo mesh, and multi res is a lot more efficient in high poly situations, where as your dyntopo sculpt won't allow you to go very high with the poly count, should you ever slap a multires on it after. I'm not sure why, but blender will not play nice with bad geometry or high poly counts when picking a base mesh for multi res.

Anonymous Sun Oct 21 03:16:04 2018 No.646749

>>646746
Uh, you always retopologise after you sculpt. Sculpting should never be late in the process, especially after you've finalised your vertex/face data. You really need to revise your workflow if you find yourself needing to sculpt after setting up all your UV maps and shit.

>>	Anonymous Sun Oct 21 03:59:20 2018 No.646751 Why do the blender threads not have an op with /3/ approved beginner resources specific to blender?

Anonymous Sun Oct 21 04:02:02 2018 No.646752

>>646749
That might actually be true, my workflow atm goes like this :

Dyntopo sculpting something till its fairly high res, retopo to get some decent edge flow, unwrapping the thing, multires and shrink wrap it around my dyntopo sculpt, adding in high frequency details that I can bake out, and then texturing the thing in Mari.

I still change the shape around on the multires mesh a bit, but without going too overboard. The texture maps stay where they are supposed to, as long as your stick to the shape of your base mesh. Unless your geometry was fucked from when you unwrapped it, and it's a pile of triangles scattered around thing. It's pretty hard to not keep tweaking, especially after I get to see it rendered and textured. My stuff doesn't serve a purpose other than me trying to make something that looks good, and improving at the stuff I'm bad at. Perhaps that's why I rarely finish things, and end up doing stuff really strangely.

I just know that people need to learn retopology if they love sculpting. I never thought I would learn, and that I might aswell should have learned how to model the basemeshes. But you learn a lot from doing it, and it's a lot easier than it seems...

Anonymous Sun Oct 21 04:13:18 2018 No.646755

>>646752
Dude, don't. You always finish your sculpt, including all your high freq details, before you even think about topology.
>It's pretty hard to not keep tweaking
That's one of the biggest issues any learning artist has. The ability to stop and be content with where you are and what you've made. You need to learn when enough's enough, even if you still spot (minor) errors here and there. You're your biggest critic and it's gonna end up being your own downfall when you keep working on the same thing continuously without being able to move on to bigger and better things. Y'know, law of diminishing returns. You keep sinking time into such minor details when it could have been spent building even more ambitious projects.

Thank you, I needed to hear it!

I decided that I wanted to learn how to sculpt realistic faces. Before this, I just found it really interesting to render things with unbiased renderers, before cycles was a thing... Pretty cool when indigo-render was still only free, fry-render, maxwell, all that. I only made some really simple models, or did some depthcore kind of things.

I just started doing things in 3d recently again, and it's pretty crazy to see how the visual quality of talented people's stuff have gone through the roof, it really highlights how maby things I have no concept of yet.

I think I might be too concerned about stuff being ultra realistic, and not realising why my stuff looks uncanny as fuck. I realise it way too late in the process. Like the eye sockets being located in the wrong spot, cause I keep tweaking eyelids, and pushing the fuckers back, trying to fix it and making stuff worse, go back a save file, etc.

This time I will finish. Thanks

I'm sorry to have to say this, but yes, you're making it hard for yourself. Blender's ability to properly talk with other programs is limited, mostly because of the developers' reticence to properly support FBX. You have a shot to making it work by exporting your character to Maya, then exporting it again from Maya to Unreal. If this doesn't work, save yourself more frustration by re-rigging the character in Maya and not attempting to use Blender again for something that their creators appear to be ideologically against (good FBX support).

DON'T buy anything ffs. Blender exports fine to UE4, you probably just don't know what you're doing and won't know in other program either. Even if it is a legit problem and you want to try it out in another software, just pirate them or download a student version which is free for literally anyone.

you see the reloaded image on your model

It is the same way for new created texture in texture paint mode.

The only limitation is that it works without live update in blender,
after saving the image in the paint programm.

It's probably better if you share the .blend file so some Anon can have a look at it.

Anyway, I'm with what the other Anon said, if you're at a stage that doesn't justify buying anything, just use student/pirated versions. It's especially easy with Autodesk software, not so much with other companies'.

I've got a ripped model and it has a mesh inside of a mesh, but they're connected in a way that I can't use remove doubles to fix it, and I can't just press l to select the top part because it selects both the inside and the outside at the same time.

Sounds like you have to do it manually. Selecting a vertex or edge loop from the outer mesh and using ctrl+numpad + might speed up the process. You could also check if there is a material assigned to the outer mesh and select that.
You could also try other selection modes like select similar, etc

Fucking lmao. They'll never touch that shit because Blender is mostly focused on animation implicitly. The next big step is a node-oriented animation workflow. They like stylization above all else because it's far easier to work with in animation so sculpting feature does not need to be advanced whatsoever. Forget being able to sculpt out fine details like skin pores. They expect you to use textures for that and even the texture painter is seriously lacking because of the aforementioned reason.

They give 0 shits about sculpting as long as they can punch out pixar/dreamworks/disney derivative faces all day and all night.

I ended up doing it all manually, which was mad gay. Now I have another issue. These models use a bunch of uv maps, more than what Blender can handle and it is deleting the important uv maps for the skin and face when I import them in (PSK files). I've tried using milkshape to delete the extra uv maps, but every time I do that it alters the model in a way that the armature no longer works and I can't copy the weight paints from the unconverted model onto it.

It's people like you that's keeping Blender in the dark. This is why blender will always be chasing the shadow of industry standard software. Why is comparing mudbox to blender not relevant? Autodesk decided it would be a good idea to split the task over different software, the point still stands that currently Autodesk beats Blender into the dust. The point still stands that blender's sculpting tools are by far one of the worst and can barely be called a "highpoly modeling" tool. It can't handle modern standards save for the same stylized garbage over and over again. No one is asking for Blender to be the "powerhouse" sculpting it has to at least function to bare minimum standards and it's barely keeping above water at this point. Sculpting is absolutely an invaluable tool and should not be ignored as it has been for the past few years.

It's people like you that give pros a bad rep among the Blender community. Blender is a hobbyist tool, you can't expect it to be capable of dealing with industry-level assets or working in a contemporary production pipeline. Criticizing it (and their users) for not pursuing the technical advances necessary for doing that sort of work is extremely unfair. If you need to do professional work you don't use Blender, period. If you are a hobbyist, Blender is enough and possibly more than that, depending on your goals and skills.

blender is first and foremost an animation tool. it was built for people that don't have money to buy expensive software.
over the years, the modeling tools has improved tremendously. so you could also use it for modeling.
anything other than these two are a bonus. the nodes, the compositor, the video editor. are all underdeveloped because the community decided they want the 'foundation' to put more emphasis on grease pencil and rendering.
personally? i think the denosier, the uber shader and EVEE were very necessary. so looking back all of the improvement the community suggested, i tend to agree with them.

but if the foundation abandons the texture and sculpting tools it would be a damn shame. it can be so much more, and with that i agree.

Don't worry. Pros won't switch their tools easily, in good part because it costs money and thus time. But also because Blender is lacking in many areas that are essential to professional work, and there are few to no plans, currently, to bridge that gap. The development of Blender is focused on the amateur market, not on the interests of professional users, and it's likely to stay that way.

blender sculpting can hardly deal with even with what even hobbyists are demanding these days. One basic invaluable tool that zbrush has is the transpose tool so you can pose and change your sculpt quite quickly whereas this is impossible to do in Blender. There is a workaround like splitting up the body parts but this has to be done beforehand, or just dealing with insane lag in edit mode or when using modifiers. There's barely even a whisper going on around adding a layer functionality and the tool/ brush set in general is seriously lacking.

False. If an add-on is sufficiently dependent on Blender code, it *has* to be licensed as GPL. Its distribution can be done in exchange for money, but the source code has to be given too and the licensee can share it for free if they wish.

there are currently a ton of people pushing for a big sculpting update in Blender but as you can see a bit further up in this thread the current funding of the whole Blender team is around 9k and they're just about to release a major overhaul.

I wouldn't say sculpting won't get some love but it will most likely take a while, especially now that they're busy getting 2.8 as stable as 2.79.

i actually did quite alot of sculpting with blender.
and i did use zbrush for the same period of time. id say i prefer more to use blender than zbrush for sculpting. because i like to have regular camera controls,orto view, and individual control of the polygons.
even if i sacrifice millions of poly's in performance. i still like the fact that you can directly pose your sculpt and do some hard surface with a program you already know.

if Zbrush is S-Class Mercedes. then blender is a 1999 corolla. it just works and it doesn't get in your way with all the features and the luxurious tools.

I miss quick transposing tools in blender for sculptings too but the lack of it forced me to look into the rigging tools more.
Slapping bones into a model is actually quite swift in Blender and when I found out about the multipaint function and I was able to quickly smooth between bone weights in one go, all suddenly didn't feel that bad anymore.
Before that, rigging a mesh was a horror for me because I always had a problem getting the weights right between bones (and on dense sculpt meshes you usually have to do the weightpainting manually because the automatic weights usually throw an error and fail).

I actually agree that I prefer blender's sculpting interface over Zbrush. I feel like Blender has so much more potential than zbrush with sculpting given that it's a "real" 3D program and you have access to all other Blender features as you work. But it's completely bare bones and most of my frustration comes from knowing they could do better,

1. The grab and rotate tools when using masking does this.

2. You should only be transposing after it's been sculpting and low polied

3. If you absolutely must you can either make a simple rig or use box deform.

What do you want to do with it? If you're looking to do final high res renders/pretty looking picture with blender I hear the new eevee render is pretty good and it'll receive a lot of updates in 2.8 onwards.

If you're looking to do game models, and things where the final product isn't a blender render. 2.79 probably is fine and doesn't have the silly updates.

2.79 will also be easier to follow along with years worth of tutorials (pretty much everything since 2.5 released in 2010ish will be in the same place on 2.79). I'm sure you'll be able to perform the same steps on 2.8, but the UI will be different and hotkeys won't be the same, etc.

Wtf.
Eevee is just meant as quick preview engine that's "pretty close" to the end result and not to get "high res renders".
You could get away with using it for final renders but even the developers make no secret out of it that it does NOT reach the same quality as cycles.
I mean, come the fuck on, most renders with it even look like video game stills.

Obviously that isn't something I've paid attention to, I just know it isn't very useful for people who don't render in blender.

So it speeds up the workflow, and would be useful to people doing high poly...

Start learning now with 2.79. It's early enough that learning the changes won't mean much. The theory won't change. BornCG, Darrin Lile, Blender Guru, the official Blender channel, Gleb Alexandrov, and Zacharias Reinhardt. And there are tons of other more specific tutorials like for sculpting or motion graphics.

>Should I learn 2D before 3D or alongside it?
Alongside it. It's not absolutely necessary to straight up replicate objects. However, if you want to games or other artistic things then it'll become important. I tried going as far as I could without 2D but then you run headlong into the issue that you need an artist to make a concept of something you're going to model. Dealing with other artists when you don't want to pay anything sucks so you're better off learning it yourself. The skills play back off of each other, having a good understanding of 3D is key in drawing good 2D. Eventually too if you want to do character design you'll want to learn anatomy which has a wealth of drawing resources. /ic/'s artbook thread has a lot of good resources. If you're starting with drawing then I'd recommend Dodson Key's to Drawing and Scott Robertson How to Draw. HtD is more geared toward perspective and industrial design than actually learning to draw but you'd use the skills everywhere.

I have no idea what's going on, .dae and .fbx just imports the quads as tris, even if I convert tris to quads or remove angles I can look at the faces and tell that they're being deformed into tris still. In Blender and Unity they keep being turned into tris and it's a fucking ridiculous waste of polygons, literally doubling the polygon count.

By default, it'll convert them to tris. A quad is simply two tris and that's how the computer sees it, quads are easier for us to work with. You should not be getting any deformation unless you have bad geometry. You have the same amount of tris whether they're triangles or quads so it's not a waste at all.

its a conversion done by the graphical engine.

polygons don't really exist in 3D rendering, we only use quads for our sake of convenience. the actual thing being rendered is the triangles. if the object is already done and rigged rigged, then there is no problem with it being triangulated. it will behave the same way.

I'd like some suggestions for a workflow. I'm mainly a 2d guy but I use Blender for getting lighting/perspective reference for digital painting and I kitbash whenever I can so I have to model as little as possible on my own, although I am quite comfortable sculpting and making low poly models.

Anyway, I am trying to figure out a good way of quickly getting draped figures into my scenes. I've used the plugin to import Daz figures into Blender but I haven't had the need to make them clothed until now.
Concept artists often use Marvelous Designer to get accurate drapery/clothing and I've been looking into that. To my understanding you have to make a animation to get accurate folds for the clothing sim. Can I make the animation in Blender and export to Marvelous Designer or how should I go about it?

Yes, you should use MD, don't hesitate, its really easy. You don't have to use animation to wrap cloth around a character. Often you can wrap them directly on the posed character.
But having them in a T or A pose, then animate them into the pose you want is the safest way to do it.
You should be able to animate it in DAZ and then export either via FBX or Alembic. Blenders implementation of those 2 file standards can be faulty. But it also should work from Blender.
Just test it out or search Youtube for a tutorial, you sure find a way.

So... I'm having some trouble figuring out how to rig characters with multiple objects for clothing layers. Like if I have the skin, and undershirt, a button down, and a vest or something all modeled as separate objects, when I deform the mesh they all clip through each other. I can't figure out how to weight paint them to avoid this completely for the animators currently, and it takes me forever just to get close. Is there some technique or tool I can use to make this less of a pain in blender? This is all I have found that sort-of helps, but I am still not happy with the results: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imhTnlKrTOY Otherwise, is there something better for rigging character models? Really I want my models to be around as flexible and dynamic as Fortnight's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f302Tu8Ak7c Can this be done in blender without insane man hours into just endlessly tweaking weight painting?

Have you not seen anything about Eevee at all or something? It's an RT engine. Think of it like UE4/Marmoset.

Not really. It'll work well as a good platform to preview PBR textures, but RT engines like Eevee are great for fast and cheap renders (especially animations), at the cost of visual presentation and accuracy.
I'm assuming you thought that because of the reference to UE4, but people use UE4 as a real-time renderer too.

You could try the Data Transfer modifier. Select your clothing object, give it all the necessary bones, add a Data Transfer modifier, set the reference to your main mesh, click Vertex Group(s), go through the modes (ideally the projected ones) and see what works best.

Not Cycles' rendered view, but Cycles' Material view it will. You won't use EEVEE as your final renderer (probably), but for just about everything up until that point, barring test renders, it kind of does.
>>Does Cycles and Eevee look the same?
>No.
See below.
>>If i use Eevee in the viewport and then render using Cycles will it be the same visually?
>No.
Not the same, but pretty darn close in most cases unless you have fancy caustics. It's the developers' goal to have EEVEE results as faithful to Cycles as possible for previewing purposes since it's replacing Blender Internal and the classic Material view for texture work. They're working on getting more and more Cycles nodes compatible with EEVEE.

That's the point of the distinction though, to indicate it comes from Japan. Anime doesn't technically have a specific style (even though they all seem similar because they copy each other a lot, it's just a cartoon. Anime is just the Japanese word (a western loan word) for animation, so we use it as a distinction for its point of origin.

What should I install on top of Blender, in terms of plugins and whatnot, in order to improve the sculpting aspect?
For example, I've seen there are detail brushes much like in zbrush, which let you quickly add surface detail. Which would you recommend?
Also: anything else?
In zbrush there's a cool tool which lets you define a curve on the surface of a mesh and then grab along it. Is there anything similar for Blender?

Select vertices on one side, Alt-M(erge) to last (or whichever), repeat for other side, move resulting edge to correct position.

OR you could use a boolean. It wouldn't be as clean and the topology would require cleanup, but it's very quick and easy.

Anyone have a clue what modifier creates a "bounding box" around an object for the purposes of scaling? You can somehow add loop cuts to the bounding box (cube shape) to allow scaling along those various loops. Think of a 3D bounding box in Photoshop, and how you're able to manipulate the entire image selection by utilizing the corners.

I've seen it done with Suzanne head, but can't google this for the life of me.
