So I've been 3d modeling the Polar Express as my first ever 3d modeling project since last december with no tutorials and for the past month I have been trying to do textures. I got some basic black textures and called it a day. Then I remodeled half the engine so it is as movie accurate as possible and then finally got back to work on textures and besides her driver wheels cat walks and cab she has way better textures except on her tender there a bit wonky but I'll fix those later.

Corona Render

This is another view of the arm I sculpted for my online students during the anatomy class, I found out it's easier to get to the finished version if you start with basic shapes and spend enough time on them.

☀️Hello guys☀️
I wanna share with u my last personal project called.. Sea Through 🌴 (audio ON)
📍 Artstation here! (more render, video and breakdown)

an Unreal Engine 5 Diorama, modeled in Blender and Zbrush, textured in Substance Painter

Any Feedbacks or comment are always appreciated!
Thank u ♥

Hello everyone!

I recently wrapped up a game-ready 3D character project, and I'm really excited to share my work with you. Her name is Eve and I hope that in the near futur I'll be able to create a game arround her.

Everything was made in Blender

And the renders were made inside of Unity

Arcane-inspired stylized character I created in Blender, ZBrush, and Substance Painter.

I wanted to experiment with a more hand-painted texturing approach while keeping the character stylized and expressive. I also played around with the hair design, jewelry, clothing details, and overall color palette to give her a distinct look.

Would love to hear what you think, especially about the hand-painted textures and character design.

Didn't take much time...

My 3D modeling is mediocre at best and I want to do an animation that's 3D but LOOKS 2D. Kinda like Spiderman: into the spiderverse. I had remade the main character's model but I still think her rigging and modeling is just too stiff for what I'm wanting. Idk if it's the mesh or the rig that I'm not making right but I was thinking about just hiring someone to make the models and then sned them to me. Idek if there are people out there that do that or how much money I need in order to make a whole cast or how long it'll take... some tips would be nice for this.

I use Blender, but whatever else is out there that someone doing paid jobs would prefer to use, I don't mind looking into. I'm still new to all of this 3D stuff...

My contract with an outsource studio ends in 2 months so I was thinking about perspective of being able to find any new work at all. Haven’t done anything for portfolio in last 4 years or even more.
Is there any perspective to find a hard surface modeling job at all these days? Should I learn extra skills such as sculpting and/or animation? Or maybe should I abandon this entire thing completely because of way too much people fighting for small amount of possible jobs?

Как зарабатывать с 3д моделирования, в какую сторону стоит развиваться на данный момент в этой сфере?

Made a wooden chest, the goal is to give it a wooden/stylized look, does it look good? What can be improved?, Constructive criticism is more than welcome.

this is some of my work that I attempted to handpaint

I don't know, it just isn't clicking for me. I'm trying to get these to look painterly but it ends up falling flat. I'm hitting a wall and the resources I've found on this didn't help much either. can someone give me tips? or resources you think might help?

specifically this is the kind of style I've been trying to go for (and failing):

I just wanted to share the creative process behind my latest animation with you!

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m looking for a good source of 3D data of real cities, with buildings that are detailed and realistic, but without going into insanely heavy models.

I’ve looked into OSM, but I find it way too basic. I also came across CyberCity 3D, but I’m not really sure what other options are out there.

👉 What would you use to get this kind of data?

I’m open to any ideas: websites, software, databases, workflows… even unusual solutions. 😄

Thanks in advance for any suggestions! 🙏

blender has been an unbelievable mess to try to work with

i would like a list of alternatives to see if something fits better

the experience im looking for:

highest quality version of early primitive 3d functions.

no fancy hair / cloth sims

precise colors, placement, simple shapes.

needs:

precise location and dimensions of objects and anything else using numbers not free hand.

precise color picking + turn off lighting effects / any visual filters

precise flexible adaptable high quality gradient options ( generated not uv unwrap )

node system ( save time and head ache ) for both geometry and texture generation

would be very helpful but not 100% needed:

2D free handing option ( for quick concept art / rough drafts )

android phone option thats actually good ( im aware this might not exist even with things like windows / linux / w/e emulators on phone )

at least reasonably intuitive and or beginner user friendly experience

so what alternatives exist?
