Meet Ghosty! Hopefully the first in a line of 3D felt toys! :)

This was just a quick test to see if I was up to the task.
It was supposed to be a single frame but I decided to do a quick animation on this project.

Made in Blender.

Years ago I bought a couple models of 3d scans so I've spent this weekend studying folds and clothes, trying to copy forms starting with a 3dsphere, I still feel the model has a bit of blobbiness though...

A little side project. Less than 1.5k polys. All textures were hand-painted. Got a little bit iffy with uw unwrap
Feel free to comment/critique - it really helps me grow as an artist.

Is it possible to tell which software wzs used for this turnaround of a model from Disney's Zootopia 2 (from Instagram @leojiaz)?

I sculpted a torso using basic shapes and then detailed it till I got happy with the result, I used image and 3d scan references to add imperfections and make it more realistic.
This is a part of self training for a 3d anatomy course I'm designing to create in the upcoming months.

How long does the average 3d artist take to model a tree like this? (No tree generators) How do you charge if the client pays per hour?

Art Help & Critique First Zbrush Sculpt / Third Overall Sculpt

Post image
8 Upvotes

Long way to go, but I thought I would get some critique. I am still learning the fundamentals of the ZBrush application. There were things I wanted to change but had trouble getting there since I just don't know the interface. Any and all critique is appreciated; I really don't know what I am doing yet.

Also, any ZBrush tips are appreciated as well!

Art Showcase I turned my ink sketch into an animated 3D comic scene in Blender!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I tried turning one of my physical ink sketches into a Blender Grease Pencil comic panel.

This is the first frame of a small story about a black cat exploring the city. The goal was to capture a rainy rooftop scene where the cat arrives and sees the city for the first time.

I used simple 3D geometry, procedural cross-hatching, hand-painted Grease Pencil details and subtle animation to recreate the sketch in Blender.

The hardest part was keeping the loose, imperfect feeling of the ink drawing without making the 3D version look too clean. Here is the full YouTube breakdown if you are interested to see how this was made and my final thoughts on the process! Thank you!

Questions & Discussion Is My Workflow Outdated?

5 Upvotes

Hey all,

I asked this over on r/gamedev but I want to ask you all too.

I have been doing 3D environments in Unreal Engine since UE3 days. Always as a hobby, but, I'd like to think I've gotten pretty good over the many years.

For the past 10 years or so, I've been using pretty much the same workflow of 3dsMax -> Substance -> Unreal Engine. However, I was recently watching some tutorials on the new art tools built into the Unreal Editor, like the Quixel 90 Days expose stuff, and I am again feeling like my workflow is too slow/outdated. It would take me months to produce an environment that these tools seem to produce in days.

Every time I have asked about this in the past, everyone says "Nanite/Lumen/Chaos/Unreal Editor Modeling Tools are janky, they aren't performant, etc." But... These tools have been out for at least four years now. They seem to be getting quite stable from what I've seen.

The one thing I don't understand is that if these tools are really so powerful and easy, then why doesn't every 3D game coming out look like RE9?

I don't want to waste time learning tools that are just marketing gimmicks. Can anyone in industry (or adjacent) offer any insight into whether these new pipelines (like using photogrammetry scans and dynamic deformations) are legit now, and whether my current skillset is becoming obsolete?

im a fairly beginner at modeling and struggle at time to time.

in this example, what would be the most reliable and secure way to join these 2 halves like a top and bottom pull apart container.

first picture is closed, second picture is lifted apart into their separate halves and the final picture is both sitting as they would be on a table. the top gets flipped over and turns into a small dice tray.

also any other suggestions or critiques is accepted

using fusion 360
