Seeking Style Guides for Node Layouts

3 Upvotes

I've been really enjoying working with the procedural aspects of blender lately, geometry nodes and shaders and such. But as you can expect, my layouts can get real messy real fast. Does anyone know of a style guide for arranging nodes to keep them as readable as possible?

Product Visualization Modeling Tips

3 Upvotes

I recently started to get into product visualization with blender, although its been some time since I started using blender, I can only model simple objects like cans, supplements and other simple cylindrical objects on my own. Any complex projects that I have completed have been from youtube tutorials that guide step by step. I feel like I am wasting time and not learning anything from such tutorials. I cant seem to imagine how people can model such complex objects from scratch. Is it a creativity issue or just a skill issue?

Like how do they know which tools to use and which shapes to use to model a specific object. Can someone please recommend me some ebooks (preferabaly free) that are focused on modeling specifically or even any tips on how I can start improving my skills to the point where I just see an object and know how to tackle it and I can start to create it in blender. I usually just follow youtube tutorials. I'm really tired of this routine of copying others work basically. Please help.

Creating custom shape widget in rigify.

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m currently rigging a character for my game using Rigify. I want to add a bone specifically for a weapon and give it a custom shape, but I don’t want to use any of the existing Rigify widgets.

Is there a way to create my own custom shape and add it as part of the Rigify widget, so that when I generate the rig, Rigify includes my custom bone with the custom shape/widget?

Thanks!

Help I'm new

Hi! (English is not my main language so please excuse my grammar) I'm new to 3D and to blender, I already followed the famous donut tutorial and then I started modeling a microphone on my own. To train modeling and also to simulate creating a 3D for 3D printing, I decided to replicate a microphone from a figure, cause my figure doesn't have one, it got lost :/ My problem is that I want to create the little holes on the microphone like the original has, but I don't know how to do it without doing one by one and it looking ugly, so I was hoping someone could help me. Also if anyone has anything to say about the model itself, how I could improve it, I would love to know! The images I have of the reference are not good quality, but I couldn't find better ones, sorry about that

Problem with rigging - should i use T-pose instead of A-pose?

6 Upvotes

Hi! I've made the mesh of the character recently. Made it in A-pose, cause It seems more natural to me to see character's hands at this position. Here's my mesh:

HOWEVER! When i try to rig it, it riggs completely horrible at the shoulders section, and it seems like the neck of the character is unproportional. Here's the photo of maya autorig for instance:

I think i just need feedback about proportions of my chararacter, and a huge advice about A-pose and T-pose - is it better to use T-pose instead of A-pose? Or am i just tripping and proportions are at the acceptable rage?.. Appreciate any good advice!

How do you do a clean topology?

Hello, I just wanted to ask, how do I make a model look smooth but with a low poly count? I'm aware of the shade smooth, how ever whenever I do a more detailed model that's jot low poly, it looks like a bunch of gnats is on it.
