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.

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?

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.

I have never learned a single thing from cgcookie in my life.

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

The only proof I'm going to offer you is that I wish I had the creativity to make that up.

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.

RAM seems low, I'd get 32, HDD is fine but slow, sort of okay for storage but it's gonna be a pain if you store large textures on it. 240gb ssd is cool, I'd Personally get at least 500gb because 240 will store your windows and other stuff that you want to work a little faster. Imo if you install your OS on an HDD it would be very strange, arguably stupid for today when you can get a 1tb SSD for around 80 bucks. Imo SSD speed is not important, it will be 4 times faster than the fastest hdd anyway, but my friend bought himself a 7gb read/write SSD with 1tb storage and he shits on my Evo 970. Monitor doesn't fucking matter unless you play games or work with color. For GPU I suppose a GTX1650 16gb VRAM is cool for Daz but to me it feels like it's a really bad idea, even if it's dirt cheap (becauseif its not enough you aren'tgoing to have a good time, slow renders and lag if your workload exceeds capacity) . CPU that you mentioned means nothing, which generation? How many threads? How many cores? I do not recommend anything below 8 cores, I work in blender and some denoisers use cpu only (not in 4.1 tho, and I use optix anyway but still worth mentioning) eo even if your GPU is enough you might be forced to use your CPU and basicallyget bottleneck. I would say, if your pc can't run games well it probably can't do 3D well either, but if your pc runs games well that doesn't mean it will be good for 3D work. A lot of possible bottlenecks.

>(2/2)
I have no idea what 3Dlight is but I don't work with Daz so I don't know if your beefed up gtx 1650 is gonna be able to handle the load. think GTX1650 is designed for 3d work, but perhaps it will due, budget cards are usually designedfor gaming but not production, that doesn't stop you from working on it tho.There is no "too much" when it comes to specs. Somebody mentioned that you could just render on a CPU, that's true, but don't forget that a desktop is more than just a CPU, RAM, GPU, if you don't have good cooling it will throttle your CPU, good cooling for a CPU can be expensive. I assume you are buying a prebuilt pc so they might fuck you on the cooling and case. Motherboard is important, it's the core of your pc and imo mobo maybe a worthwhile investment for future upgradability.

What do you plan to do in Daz? If you do complex effects on meshes with high resolution renders and 2k+ textures it might not be enough. I would honestly say you should go to

https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri

And test your specs. It's mostly for games but I think it will give you some idea of what your setup is capable of, if your setup cannot even run games at mid settings and you intend to do shit in 4k with effects and many (or complex) models you are just going to buy something your are going to regret. Also somebody said RAM speed doesn't matter but I disagree, it's not crucial but it's noticeable, everything depends on your goals. Imo get a CPU with at least 8 cores and not something from 10 years ago, get at least 32 gigs 2600mhz RAM, get good cooling, get a 500gb SSD and put all your important shit on it, make sure your PSU is enough both to power your current setup and is going to allow to upgrade and install better parts later on, never fun to realize you bought a new GPU but your PSU cannot actually power your setup, gonna have to buy a new PSU, I'd get 600 watts at least.

God speed, have fun morphing women into cows

>>983003

>I don't think the GTX 1650 is designed for 3D work*

Sorry for my rambling and typos, the point is that you can definitely run Daz, but depending on workload and intentions you might run into problems.

I do love my similes and metaphors.

tutorial??

>>981509
I follow Andrew Price tutorial

>>981871
I have zero issue?

I opened the clean .blend exported just the base mesh with the stuff with bones and armature and re-imported it.

>>981872
if you mean the bone length that doesn't mean anything.

FBX doesn't keep the length of the bones, so blender just guesses the size you can click the armature, go to edit mode hit A to select all then S to scale, then G to move it, then go back to object mode Ctrl + A Apply All Transforms.

You really need to work on communicating your issues.

as when you say the bones are moving that could be anything.

>>981872
>>981874

Finally you don't need to export out of blender until your done editing? why would you export if you haven't finished?

>>981875
or you can just export just the mesh and just parent it to the armature that's already there if you prefer the look of it its a hassle tho

This vid will burn after 2 days.

But shows you a quick way to export and re-import the mesh and then re-use the armature that's in the base blend.

But I think your been a Grade SS+ Autistic as you don't have any reason to export out and back into blender.

Maybe? You might want to hit dynamesh more frequently so you don't have your shit all stretched.
Just keep at it anon, this shit's difficult as fuck. It looks a bit like your sculpts are too flat in the face, look at side profiles more.
