Maybe the lock/rot is locked?

I don't know if anyone in /wip/ does them, but where do you get images for packaging from (for material usage)? For instance something like a Coke battle label.
I've seen people say
>Just google "[product] label"
Or
>Just google "[product] wrapper"
and they come up with them no problem. Even for things like metal cans that can't be easily photographed or scanned. I try that and get literally fuck all apart from the product itself or some fake blank template shit that is only barely related to the product.
I think I spend more time looking for this kind of thing than I do actually modeling.
Is there some kind of database or something? I know >pinterest does have things like that on there, but they're really hit and miss depending on what you're looking for.

>>983263
well you can always remake the lebels yourself in photoshop or gimp. They're mostly text and logo. You can definetely get a product logo in isolation, copy the background which is probably a gradient at its most complex. generic or actually product accurate nutrition facts and ingredient lists.
If you're really hellbent on an accurate high quality label texture remaking it from scratch could take less time than trying to find it.

>>983239
Omg, thank you so much, I wasn't looking forward to redoing the whole region...

>>983266
Nice, glad you found the advice useful. I remember going crosseyed the first time I had to fix a spiral. I didn't mention how to clean up any excess geometry that may have been left behind after the fix. But I trust you can figure that out on your own.

>>983265
I have tried making them in the past, but they always come out shitty. Like I can't get the measurements quite right. Even when I "trace" it they seem off. Maybe I just haven't had enough practice at it. The real problem is when there's some kind of pattern or graphic that's hard to replicate.
Obviously it's time consuming and I'd rather have somewhere I could just download them from, but if that's not feasible I guess making them is the only way to go.
My alternative idea (at least for this) is I found a can label while I'm doing the bottle version. The two labels are really similar and it's only like the ml amount and a slight color difference on a small part of it. My guess is I'll be able to edit those and turn it into the bottle version without too much hassle.
Thanks.

It's extremely choppy. Everything moves at the same time- there is no overlap or successive breaking of joints. It makes no sense that his hands shake around on her hips like that and his fingers are completely static. Your are rotating her wrists on the wrong axis, and there is no offset present on the rotations making it even more robotic looking. The way he is pivoting on his knees is very unnatural looking. Her hair should be rotated towards camera- you can't connect with the character at all because you can't see her face. There is no sense of weight and no arcs. The characters dark skin gets lost on the black background. The face isn't animated at all. His thumb is clipping through her torso. Why isn't she reacting? Even if she wasn't enjoying it and was absolutely bored her face wouldn't be pixel dead like that. Every principle of animation is absent. The shading on her hair is bad.


Nice job otherwise

Mouths are not in a plane, that's your problem.
When you sculpt always remember what's behind the skin
Your teeths are not in a plane, they are in a curve, so your mouth will set that way.
There's a million other problems with the sculpture, but for the mouth first change this.

I sculpted this in blender
then I gave up because it's hard as fuck and I have no talent

>>982754
>>982755
you're sculpting your lips into the faces, even if you plump up the lips later it still won't look right. It's the bones and the teeth that cause the mouth to come forward a little, as well as the flesh, so your sculpt looks like it's missing teeth.
You have to draw out a sort of mound that you sculp the lips into. You can probably just pull them forward now with the move brush, but it'll be easier if you do this beforehand.

this guys sculpt series really helped me get to a good level. Just switch his reference image with any human male or female image and go from there. pic related is what i made after this vid.

Professional aaa 3d character artists here.
Look up anatomy for sculptors on artstation. They have a lot of good posts that would help you understand the shapes of the human body.
One of the biggest mistakes beginners make is making the faces super flat, as you did. Every shape, buldge, wrinkle, angle or whatever on the face flows into another and there is a reason why they are the shape they are. Those images hopefully will help you understand it

Maya if you want to get a job

animation is animation, software is less than 1% of the actual work. Blender is free, so that's good enough for me. I have used maya too and personally I like it but this shit isn't my job and at the end of the day I prefer blender's ui and ease of use over maya. mostly I just know blenders shortcuts better.

studios use maya because they have always used maya. if they could seamlessly move to blender and save a buck without disrupting the pipeline, they would. but it would unironically cost more time and money to transition to blender than it would to simply maintain the status quo. so yeah, if you want a job go with maya. blender will always be there for you if you want to play with bouncy anime tiddies though, there is no rule against using both programs.

I'm the guy you responded to, thanks for providing a legit sounding answer. I suppose the people nostalgic for this are the ones who are maybe half a decade younger than me and this is part of their connection to what then remained of a 'pre-internet' type world.

Obv the internet was already there for them but it was in it's infancy without the social networks, tubesites and smartphones etc.
I guess I understand what they say when talk about how legacy media and games had more 'soul' I'd tend to agree with that statement.
Where I'm lost is when they point to things like 'Frutiger aero' and 'Bryce 3D' type aesthetics as representative of that 'soul'
because to me that would represent the peak 'soul-less' of that era they're reaching back to.

Maybe it's more about having something easily reproducible that's just iconic for the time. Like how ugly juxtaposed neon colors & slalom patterns can invoke certain 80's nostalgia.

Low effort and ugly, somewhere along the way you forgot that you actually need to be an artist to create something good looking in bryce

that is done with normal transfer.

>>982236
Cant be exported>? Cant be exported to what? I use custom normals in a unity project and they imported fine

If you're using data transfer in Blender to keep the face normals working through deformations via shape keys, just know that deformations will still break the face normals on export to Unity/Unreal. You'll have to modify the face normals per frame like how CC2/Arc System Works handle it.

>>982257
Another solution which I've seen used in Hi-Fi Rush and Genshin Impact is to use an SDF texture. You'll have to set up a custom shader in Unity/Unreal but the huge benefit here is that face deformation of any kind won't destroy the normals. Downside is that you're essentially using psuedo lighting. It's not 'real' but it doesn't matter.

Pixiv nuked most 3DCG artists on it platform because of credit card companies disapproving of porn.
Beanis still had a deviantart, but it was abandoned after they started using pixiv.

Oh, seems their DA account was deactivated too. Hmm, they must have quit after pixiv kicked removed 3DCG artists. A pity, I loved beanis' etnas.

Low poly 3D is currently trending. But the texture work is typically low resolution as well, in order to simulated early 3D graphics like the Playstation 1 and 2. I think high resolution painted textures look better than low res pixelated textures. But I personally find the WoW style appalling to look at. I'm more of a Wind Waker kind of guy.

I don't know what Blizzard is doing. But some of my favorite indie games could have benefited from better texture work. Like a Hat in Time would benefit from higher quality textures. Maybe knock on some doors in the indie space to see if they have work?

Tome looks cool.

cool for hobbyists for quick generic characters but professional rigs are so complex and usually tailored exactly for individual animators needs that I doubt we will ever see an AI rigging tool. it's one of the safest areas of 3D to work in

>>982927
You should not concern yourself with that because no professional is ever going to let you touch his animation rig.

make a few pics from different yet close camera angles and pretty much most 3d software will turn it into a cgi scene
>how
idk, but it is there, so learn it

the video you've linked is the result of bad photogrammetry - there are a bunch of different applications out there that perform similarly
if you don't give too much of a fuck and are diy (you seem like the type), you should look at phone apps that will get you results like that straight from your phone - again, the word you're looking for is photogrammetry - usually people try for high quality results, but if your settings are low you'll get results like the ones you want

you should just use blender as your dcc for now (it won't do the photogrammetry, you'll need to do that somewhere else and import the files in), you can get results like your vid pretty easily. plenty of resources out there. you might be tempted to learn some hipster shit and yeah that's fun, but you won't go far in /3/ without solid foundations. do the boring normie stuff first.

YouTube is good for the basics and mid-level/hobbyist tutorials, but the quality and availability for tutorials for levels higher than that are relatively scarce. Channels with a good reputation tend to lock high-level stuff behind a paywall, but that isn't to say high-level tutorials don't exist on the site—they would just be from channels that aren't really popular and they don't go crazy with the presentation and whatnot.
>to answer your question directly: the courses in the bundle won't teach you whatever isn't on youtube, but the concepts within them are more throughly demonstrated (e.g., they show every single setting in each texture node). it's only $15 so i'd say go for it

program is simple. you can learn 100% of it in a few days.
pattern cutting, depending on what you want to do, is not. you can learn 30% of it in a 3 year university degree.

Does it make more sense to texture in CLO or bring it to blender and texture it there?

>>981883
No. Marvelous has a view to layout uvs, just do that, export and texture wherever you normally do. Marvelous will export stitching at geometry iirc. You're better off building that into the textures with something like substance painter (or redo the stich geo procedurally in Houdini or geo nodes if you need autistic levels of detail)

>>981880
is what you export from it meant to be bake-ready, or do you need to sculpt on top of it in zbrush?

VFX just means you do it as compositing in a videoediting software. You render out your mesh and a depth pass and inside your video editing software you'd set up layers to blend it all together to make a transition between your CGI and your other layer using your Z-depth.

I work real-time stuff so I haven't touch any videoeditor in years but 'adobe premiere' and 'after effects' was what I used back in the day and it was really easy to just jump in and use those as it's basically a photoshop for videos and I already knew my way around photoshop inside out.

There's probably better suites available, all the VFX tryhards used different software back then too but I can't recall their name.
