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

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

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.

>>982000
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

Any proof this happened?

>>982901
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.

It doesn't come with a GPU included, but I plan to buy one at Christmas, a GTX 1650 16GB.

i have a question, could I use the 16GB for rendering in Daz3D if I specifically use 3Delight? I'm not sure if anyone knows about this.

>>981542
>Core i7
that means like nothing. What version? I had a i7 "Bloomfield" back in 2009. So what gen?
>16GB RAM
Decent amount. Speed and performance is not that important here just the amount. 16GB is a bit low if you also have a chrome tab open on the side and such but this should be OK.
>>981550
i have a question, could I use the 16GB for rendering in Daz3D if I specifically use 3Delight? I'm not sure if anyone knows about this.
yes, the 16GB will be used as video memory if you run without a gpu.
if you are talking about the GTX 1650 16GB (did not know they such a large VRAM version) then ofc you could use all that using any renderer as its mostly down to the amount of shaders and textures in the your scene.

You clearly don't know shit about computers. Of course it will run daz3d. Do you think modern software is still prohibitively specked? Asking if a vanilla pc will run a piece of software is idiotic.

>>981542
>16GB RAM
Get, at least, 32 GB. And a NVidia GPU with 8 GB or more. If can't get a good GPU, just get a old Xeon with shit loads of Cores in Aliexpress.

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

https://streamable.com/xxtww5

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.

Past this video I'm done here.

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.

There are the new quantum mechanical nodes coming but they're always in a superposition of being useless and being useless.

>>981381
This might help you.
https://studio.blender.org/training/geometry-nodes-from-scratch/array-tools/
You don't need to follow the tutorial, just grab the nodes. I use them quite a lot. The circular array is really nice, since you don't have to do the retarded "add array on first object, add empty, rotate empty, add object offset to the array on your first object" rigamarole.
Whether or not the nodes do the exact thing you need, I dunno, but I'm sure it'd be easy to tweak with some basic math.

>>981716

HUH?

I remember doing something like this like in blende 2.3 and it used something (not geometry nodes) I think it was the particle system

>just grab the nodes
Why are geometry nodes so counter intuitive?

>Learn...
No they keep changing them in every new version. Get your shit together!
I was waiting for the first adopters to get burned however it is blender 4.0 and they keep on fuckign with the nodes!

>>You don't need to follow the tutorial, just grab the nodes. I use them quite a lot. The circular array is really nice, since you don't have to do the retarded "add array on first object, add empty, rotate empty, add object offset to the array on your first object" rigamarole.
If blender was not retarded and god portions of it being stuck in the 90s other in the 2000s they literally give you a extra box in the array modifier that says.
>Offset
So you can do a offset or
>+/- rand
Box next to it will do 99% of what you want to do with nodes without being fucken retarded!

>>981748
Oh, I see you're just throwing a temper-tantrum and venting for people to agree with you.
Hence you putting words in my mouth. You know, because I never once said anything about you "learning" anything.
I offered up something that might help (an existing setup that you just apply like any other modifier), but you're just looking to sperg out because something was added to Blender that you don't want to engage with.
Don't engage with it then. Simple as that.

>>981381

geonodes was created as an excuse so that blenderfags and devs can say that it has """"parametric modeling"""" capabilities. you just have to DIY all the presets imaginable to do the most basic shit parametrically.

>>981360
Until we can run these AI models locally this shit will always be censored.

>>981339
No those were character creator, AI is a fake idea and steals 3D models. If you try to say Mikey Mouse (A public domain character) you get nothing because no one has made him in 3D.

>>981331
>it's already this good.
:)

>>981331
does it pass the "3d turing test"? (aka a blender doughnut)

>>981331
Whenever people talk about a new generative AI that will cause massive layouts, a bunch of legal barriers appear on the way once it gets popular enough. Either that or it's not as good as people claim it to be. Being only used to recreate models that have already been done to death and not much else.

i swear anyone who unironically advocates for godot is a retard
the main purpose of a game engine is to provide a render engine, physics, audio systems and being able to easily port to different systems
godot is like retarded in all of that so all you really get is a shitty editor and at this point you might just grab an off the shelf render engine and start from the ground up

>>982294
You're kind of a fucking idiot thinking people dont know Godot is still lacking a lot of tools. His whole video was about going to Godot because it is free and open source like Blender and won't get Jewed like Unity that he was using for the past years. Him taking on Godot and getting people into it is planting seeds in hopes of Godot improving in the future.

You're ignoring a lot of context to make yourself mad.

>>982294
Its rendering, physics (with Jolt) and audio are fine for my requirements.
If a project needs high-end graphics, Unreal is way better. Otherwise, Godot seems perfectly adequate.
It's saved me a ton of time, and has many useful features that an off the shelf render engine wouldn't provide, like file compression/decompression, support for various file formats, networking, graphics tablet support, and surely a lot of other stuff I don't even know about

>>982294
>you might just grab an off the shelf render engine and start from the ground up
quit talking out of your ass, retard
I replaced some of Godot's nodes with a custom system and I still use nodes for anything graphics/audio related because it's a lot of fucking work to replace them and they work just fine.
You have never written anything "from the ground up".

>>981386
Yeah i'm sure toddlers watch pixologic youtube Lives where some random 3d Aurtist rambles incomprehensibly for 4 hours

if you're just starting out it's not a good idea to try and learn multiple packages that do similar things.

what do you actually want to do?

>>981321
3D modeler/generalist

>>981320
i'd recommend blender or 3ds max, cuz modifiers make your life easier, maya isn't bad but without plugins, its modeling pipeline is destructive.

>>981326
if you have industry ambitions
for film: maya
for aaa games: maya / max / some blender
for indie games: blender
for archviz: max / blender

this is assuming you actually want to be a modeller which is a very, very specific thing in some pipelines. most modelling skills are transferable b/w dcc's and it takes a couple of weeks to adapt.

if you want to be a generalist you need imo:
blender / maya
zbrush
substance painter
houdini (after 1.5/2 years of the others)
experience with at least 2 renderers ( so you can realise they're all pretty similar)

if you don't want to go into any industry, then just use blender instead of maya/max. unless you want to have a focus on animation and rigging, then go to maya.

max is kinda... i wouldn't recommend it to anyone except very hardcore hardsurface modellers and archviz dudes.

>>981320
Would recommend you to try all, and see what software “clicks”. In my case, it was Max (for modelling) and Cinema (for VFX).

Regarding modelling: methods that you learn on YouTube are software-agnostic, and you can follow it on the software you like.
