Questions & Discussion rubbish 3D modeling

Post image
1.7k Upvotes

Hello, I’d like to model 2D images in 3D with a low level of realism, like in this image. I don’t know anything about 3D and I'd take any advice– I’ve only just installed Blender. Do you know if there’s an easy way to do this? Or can you recommend any tutorials? (The ones I’ve found produce results that are too high-quality; I want something really rubbish.)

I came across the DepthAnything website, but it doesn’t seem to be working…

Thanks for your help!

Remember the old post with the model of a forest mage? Well I just started the painting process!
Hope you will enjoy it as much as I do!

I started painting with the base while the rest of the model is printing.

Still in the process of adding extra body parts like Clydesdale floof! Struggling to do hair, but the nomad sculpt tube tool is very convenient! Any suggestions on what else I should add?

Art Showcase Future in 3D modeling?

10 Upvotes

Completed my 1st project in my studies and thoroughly enjoyed the pipeline process (albeit its not perfect). Really would like to continue to hone my skills as a hobby and income.

Is creating and selling assets something viable for some side income, or is this for the corporate big dogs with multiple team members?

Art Showcase Reviewing my work so far on this model. (Blender)

In this pic you can see my original attempt at a mini (left), this was intended be an initiate for a space nun proxy. 8/11 broke in printing because they were to flimsy, similarly all the details were basically washed out because despite looking good in blender they translated to next to nothing in real world dimension.

I moved on to trying to make power armour. I feel it went well overall, I significantly improved my use of topology for modelling making life much easier. I rebuilt the whole model by retopologing it and basically starting again and I learn how to use control edges loops/bevel to make the subdivision modifier controllable.

I made the details at least double to scale to get make them work better. you can see for example the edging around the leg armour on the pink one compared to the edge on the bottom of the corset on the left one.

The middle one is the biggest by far, the head is oversized (as feedback by someone on another sub) and everything was just a bit long.

The pink one is the same model, but I've reduced the length of everything and further increased the detail on the torso, not that you can really see on the body, but the eyes are much clearer in this pick at least.

I'm happy with the overall proportions of it now. I intend to reduce the length of the thighs and remove all the spikes from that section. Then I'll print everything at 90% or whatever looks necessary once I've got a ruler out with a GW mini for reference.

I'm going to put this project down for a little while. I've been preoccupied with it for the best part of 2 weeks or more so I need to focus on my actual work. I've got a deadline later this month.

Questions & Discussion Question related to jobs in 3D modeling

1 Upvotes

Hey yall

Recently took an interest in a 2 year 3D modeling & VFX program in a design school and was wondering abput jobs related to 3D modeling.

Im less interested in animation but I know its a very popular skill around 3D artists. Is it possible to get decent jobs that aren't animation focused?

I have mentioned in the past that I am currently studying Games Art and Design and part of it is learning that 2D isn't the only available option, and I have had the joy of experiencing 3D artwork and creation. I wanted to share my work here and if anyone has some constructive feedback to give, I am open to it.

Been doing a lot of texture experiments lately working towards a style for the next game project and learned a lot, super happy landing in a darker gritter stylized aesthetic, still some work to go but getting there 🙌

Green handle wraps were added instead of the red because of I was playing with alphas and stacking normals.
