@tired cove quick fun fact did you know your name in German means basement

[tired cove]

Lmao no i didn't know

[modest hedge]

Lol

[stoic ember]

modeled and animated this 💃
im not a modeler or animator lol, so its not the best https://vxtwitter.com/iGottic_Real/status/1647763543092068352

AAAAA NO EMBED

[meager crescent]

It's fine, you gotta chat more to get embed links
And that animation looks sooo cool, good job!

[tired cove]

🤨

[quartz sail]

ohhhh

awesome! you gonna make The Finals related art too? 😮

[tired cove]

maybe in the future yeah!

[hollow badge]

man ur art style my brain cannot handle it😍 \

[tired cove]

haha thx Swa!!

[clever tapir]

No finals? 🤨

[tired cove]

No ArcRiders? 🤨

[clever tapir]

Idk never heard of it

[dense spear]

Does anyone know what mistakes I’m making with my figure drawing? I know it’s all really just construction lines but I know their not anatomically correct and I can’t figure out what mistakes I’m specifically making lol

[hollow badge]

honestly i suck more at anatomy than anything in life but i guess from an outside's view it looks like the head is always slightly bigger than its supposed to be

[tired cove]

There is no "mistake" because its just due to low experience (and its normal), take a step back when you'r drawing, that's going to help you to see what's not matching with your ref, and breakdown the anatomy with simples shapes (like square or circle)

[past phoenix]

^ if you struggle doing that try messing around with a grid drawing

[tired cove]

try to grip your pencil higher when studying, with a lighter hand, this can help you take ownership of the workspace and free up your wrist

[idle meteor]

Like Swa pointed out, the head is a bit too big.
After that i think constructing in clearer shapes will help a lot!
Other than that it looked pretty correct to me! (Legs might be a tad bit too long but it looks fine!)

Here's a quick sketch of adjustments.

[quartz sail]

nice!

[dense spear]

Thank you all appreciate the advice!

[quartz sail]

@idle meteor make a moolah drawing D:

keep it up!

[tired cove]

here's some little study i did at the beginning of the month

[paper sun]

does anyone have a textured 3D model of the nama tama egg?

[sly dome]

Interesting

[obsidian basalt]

#1092722656811417620 i believe if you scroll up to the top of the msgs you can see an fbx file for it

[paper sun]

its ok now i managed to texture the fbx myself 😄

[obsidian basalt]

ok

[lofty grail]

@rich wave

[clever tapir]

Reminds me of some 2019 android, mainly Samsung Galaxy s10

[clever tapir]

Nah that be samsung in 2019

[stable flax]

first time doing commercials edit on blender XD pretty ez but not perfect.... absolutely not perfect ....

[stable flax]

HO MY LORD

[clever tapir]

i would say it’s a good 8,5/10

[stark bloom]

I'm intrigued by the lore behind this character

[obtuse heron]

same

[stark bloom]

Is the robot like a mech or just a companion/weapon?

[obtuse heron]

war machine?

[lofty grail]

These dont have lore

Im just bored and drawing my mechs as girls to practice anatomy

[stark bloom]

Oh that's cool! So she's a gijinka of the mech

Nicee

[lofty grail]

The mechs themselves have tons of lore but this is just a silly sideproject

[lofty grail]

hr

[stark bloom]

Love the cyborg elements to her

[stark bloom]

Very cool, such dynamic lines!

[lofty grail]

Gruh????!!?!??

[dense spear]

in the words of Linkin Park, "i tried so hard and got so far" but in the end i have no idea how to shade lol

[stark bloom]

Looks cool! I'm sure you'll figure out how to perfect shading, in the meantime it's already nice - really difficult to figure out where the light goes with such complicated shapes and dark environment

If you want to make things look more dynamic, you can vary the line weight, make the lines thicker where more shadow or more weight would be. So for example bottom of the jaw or the cape

[dense spear]

Thanks! yeah im not gonna give up I’ll get it down with practice eventually

[dense spear]

I will try to keep this in mind going forward thanks!

[modest hedge]

so I'm making a game and I just made a gun for said game in blender whats yalls thoughts🤔

[hazy rose]

It's a gun

[prime pilot]

I'd probably put iron sights on the gun + a charging handle (which could be a cylinder on the front of the gun). Also, what's up with design choice of having "MP5" on the side, like your model conveys that it's an MP5-styled weapon already, it being MP5 shaped and all.

[dense spear]

Def some clean geometry, overall nice model! not sure exactly what your game theme is but if you add some curve to the bottom of the mag with proportional editing it could add some extra subtle detail.

[modest hedge]

idk artistic choice

[modest hedge]

also if you are wondering what the gun is for it's gonna be for my first project in Unity but the main idea of the game is gonna be kinda like cod zombies but your only stuck in one room with windows to your left and right I'm also gonna try to add a mystery box type to it but right now I'm mainly making the models

[dense spear]

Ah gotcha. You going for more realistic or more cartoon vibe?

[modest hedge]

goin for cartoon ig with low poly

[dense spear]

If you want any suggestions for stylized skins and textures I know a few fun tricks for blender lol

[modest hedge]

nice also currently adding some sun glasses to the player so where they look cool

[worn swan]

Skin concept

[opal ferry]

its rlly well made, goodjob

[worn swan]

Thank you

Inspired by Bioshock and Dune

[hollow badge]

i love how this style makes the focus very clear and also looks very cool

[dense spear]

i went for my first go on a sword swing animation. i then threw a smear and motion blur effect on it to smooth it lol cause im still learning

[cinder jacinth]

should be the default sword swinging animation in the finals

[obsidian basalt]

that’s pretty good and this is probably expected criticism that i would probably receive if i did the same thing but the animation is kinda lacking that Oomph! you know?

I think this demonstrates what i’m trying to say pretty well.

https://pin.it/39WuiTf

[stark bloom]

It definitely looks great for a first go! I can expect you'll be doing pro looking stuff in no time 👀

[obsidian basalt]

no doubt your gonna be producing your own variant of Kellar's work. and its gonna look awesome

[stark bloom]

Very cool! I see the joints are different from the others?

[lofty grail]

Powerful rear legs, as unlike the Knight class this is a pure medium mech. Also its a bit of an outdated design that still works.

[dense spear]

Thanks, I’ll try to consider that oomph factor looking forward as I study animation more

[dense spear]

Thanks Nate! really appreciate it

[lofty grail]

WIP scene

[crisp wren]

finally doing medieval stuff again yay

[dense spear]

That’s clean 👌

[clever tapir]

Ya‘ll drawing masterpieces while the only thing I can draw is a side profile of a car 🥲

[crisp wren]

that's why practice is necesary, and comparing to others is not, saying others are better wont get you further

[opal ferry]

You can do it, practice everyday, a drawing or two, you'll start improving slowly, we believe on you

[clever tapir]

nah i dont really have time for drawing anymore, also i dont enjoy it as much as 2 years ago

i just like to see great artists making great art

[opal ferry]

I see, understood

[barren raven]

whew that looks so cool

[tired cove]

Thx !

[stark bloom]

The precision is amazing, love it

[stark bloom]

This armor design is amazingg, is it based off a real one? Very whimsical yet flattering

[crisp wren]

OH its a redesign of a character i made when i was barely learning how to make armor haha, here's a before and after

(surface details will be rendered later on)

[stark bloom]

Very cool! love the silhouette

[crisp wren]

thx 👀 👌

[vague creek]

A ground for my new game project

[opal ferry]

game project? seems interesting, wish you luck!

[opal ferry]

It looks amazing, i rlly love mediaval themed art, the armour you've made is very smooth and unique, i love it

[vague creek]

thank youuu

[limber aspen]

[crisp wren]

progress, oh hell yeah

[dense spear]

i cant get over how clean the background is

[stark bloom]

Absolutely sick!

[crisp wren]

👀 👌 ty!

(hope yall know when the game releases and i can look at the maps for full on reference, im making a drawing to this level of rendering)

[woven plaza]

Looks incredible!

[urban smelt]

looks great, reminds me of WALL-E

[daring stratus]

Lol its funny my gearbox friend calls it clap trap

[stable nimbus]

@daring stratus

[daring stratus]

Ty im re working the composition and terrain tomorrow
@stable nimbus looks cool did you make thode assets?

[stable nimbus]

i did not make all the assets but i specialized in world creation and level design

[daring stratus]

My friends in the industry told me not to worry about making assets and just to try to make cool shit with free assets or stuff other people made because in the industry theres different departments for modelling and the all the other stuff.

I did model the robot and the space ship in my scene tho

[stable nimbus]

yeah theres the modelers coders UI audio and level design

[daring stratus]

Yeah i wanna do specifically enviroment design

[stable nimbus]

thats what im doing atm but i finding ithard to get into the industry atm

[urban smelt]

what you using to build the landscape?

[daring stratus]

I used a height map i want to learn how to do it better tho

[stable nimbus]

how long u been working on it?

[daring stratus]

40 hours and multiple itterations on my scene

[stable nimbus]

and do u code at all in it?

[daring stratus]

No just enviroment art i was told not to go too big and try to make a game and really just focus on my portfolio.

[faint stratus]

That actually looks pretty good. Well done.

[daring stratus]

Ty

The robots my favorite part lol i spent 13 hours on him

[faint stratus]

Oh, he reminds me a bit of Claptrap with the single wheel and body shape. Looks really well.

[quartz sail]

you can see this one will have a brummy accent though

[dense spear]

I swear every time I come in here there’s some new person making a solo triple a quality game 😂 like it’s incredible how talented y’all are

[quartz sail]

Makes me feel insignificant

[faint stratus]

Everyone has different qualities, no need to undersell yourself because of someone making something that you may not be able to do yourself (yet!).

[quartz sail]

No worries, I have my uses haha

[faint stratus]

[stable nimbus]

i like this the left 1

[daring stratus]

It was the first thing i ever made in ue

[daring stratus]

update!

[stark bloom]

Looks sick!

[hollow badge]

the difference between this one and the old one is stark in a positive way :))

[daring stratus]

[faint stratus]

Oh wow, the robot fits in very well.

Always a challenge to make things fit together but you nailed it for that scene.

[daring stratus]

Thank you the robot took me 13 hours alone to set up

[faint stratus]

Ahahah, the unfortunate other side of this work. Painstakingly spending hours on details people will sometimes glance over at most.

Good job though, really.

[daring stratus]

Passion :)

[faint stratus]

Passion helps a lot, but it also shows!

[stable nimbus]

looks really cool man

[daring stratus]

Thanks!

[obsidian basalt]

ooo i like the fact you’ve added a little trail behind your robot

[daring stratus]

It needs more work

[crisp wren]

further progress, only two more characters to render 👀

[dense spear]

I have 2 questions. Do you have a YouTube channel where you explain how to do that? If the answer to the first question is no, would you ever consider making one? Lol

[crisp wren]

that's quite specific lol, but i dont, and not really, im not one for content creation lol

[daring stratus]

Looks good

[crisp wren]

one more character to go

[crisp wren]

it is finished, finally

[crisp wren]

also designed this boi, so its time to make a full render out of it sometime soon

[urban smelt]

that looks cool atm

[paper bronze]

Kinda crazy but I've imagine a design like this in my head but with out the back end tail

[scarlet sleet]

I drew this 1 out 10 how good is it

[clever tapir]

https://tenor.com/view/kitty-review-cat-review-gaming-cat-gaming-gaming-cat-gif-25254239

nah but fr its really good

[dense spear]

mouth pretty solid

[chrome badge]

I can't think of the right wording but trying to get people's like take on this shitty drawing if that makes sense. If you're interested, I can pay for a commission though I am uh more on the poor side so won't be to much.

The one below was made by T8illustration, they make some great stuff. If you feel like it check them out on Ko-fi, and if you want send a commission

[stark bloom]

It's not shitty at all! I think it needs contrast for sure which is difficult to achieve with pencils. This looks like a hard pencil you used (HB or so?) and for dark drawings you'll need to get a soft pencil, 4B at least. Same with the red, I even think it would pop more with the use of red markers

Ah, I guess you wanted a "take" as in redrawing it, not advice, but nevertheless I think you're doing great haha

[chrome badge]

Honestly I just doodled it with some random pencils at school but if I ever get a chance I'll be sure to try what you suggested

[chrome badge]

Oh and yeah sorry by take I meant like see it in other people's style, which has actually been a bit of joy so far. Though definitely a little costly

[stark bloom]

It's a great idea to support other artists! But your original in itself is already looking awesome

[chrome badge]

I appreciate the kind words, but honestly in my opinion atleast the one's I've been seeing other people make are alot more amazing. Atleast in my opinion

@stark bloom If you're into art BTW I'd be glad to commission you if you'd be interested. Though due to my slight lack of funds it'd be between 20-40

[stark bloom]

I don't really do that, sorry, but I'm always happy to offer positive words or advice!

[chrome badge]

Darn well thank you either way

[stark bloom]

(Just a quick preemptive rule note here, though our no-money rule is mostly about games, if any artists here are interested we'd prefer you take commission talk straight to DMs! Would love to see if something cool comes out of it though )

[chrome badge]

Ooooh yeah sorry

[stark bloom]

No problem, you didn't do anything hehe, just saying

I think we're OK with generally stating that you're interested in commissioning things

[chrome badge]

Oh I can send you a dm of those I got so far if you'd like. From respective artist

Also thank you for le clarification

[stark bloom]

You can even share them here if the artists are OK with it, but if there's a lot of blood / horror in some it's best to also put a spoiler on it just for safety

It's an awesome concept

[chrome badge]

Oh sure, and yeah I clarified with all before hand to make sure they're open to the like sharing.

These are all I have so fat, the one from Archie is a sketch. And 2 more are in the midst of being made.

From left to right, Arrrchir, HeibiKoi, some guy called shanks who did it in 2 minutes, and T8illustration

[stark bloom]

The second one's probably my favorite! Very cool

[chrome badge]

@stark bloom I would normally put links but idk how the rules are with that

[stark bloom]

Pictures with credits probably work better just to be safe

[chrome badge]

Honestly yeah I love it and luckily they seemed to have fun doing it

Also wait yeah that is smart. Thank you

When I get like 10 or so different versions I'm hoping to do a bit more of a professional show.

[stark bloom]

Sounds great, it's a fun project!

[chrome badge]

Fun but I should've definitely planned my funding better

I'm glad to support great artist buy it's clicked in my head that this is gonna cost a lot for dude like me.

But aslong as people get to enjoy this art then I'm happy

[stark bloom]

Commissions are costly, yeah, but at least there's no time limit for it so you can take a break and hop back when you're feeling more secure paying for them

[chrome badge]

Ah no, I feel obligated to pay upfront. Though luckily in my mind that spares me from tips

[stark bloom]

Oh yeah, but you can take a break ordering them 😄

[chrome badge]

That I think is gonna be the case

[chrome badge]

Pay this last 25 then wait a little for them all to come in then decide if it'd ready or needs more.

[stark bloom]

Good luck with it

[chrome badge]

I think I just got my last commission in for now but if anyone does happen to be interested feel free to send a dm and we can figure something out

And don't be afraid or shy if you think your experience I'm art is to little. I'm happy to see anyone's art, also gotta gain experience somehow

[chrome badge]

@stark bloom Dude I just got another progress sketch from one dude, look at this

it is fucking awesome

Behold the art a man made me for free in 3 minutes. He is awesome, I don't know who he is but I like him.

Also no sorry this was my basic idea

frenziedeyes

Hello, I would to present to all my first little art collaboration project that I'm calling "Frenzied Minds". In this little project I commissioned multiple artists to remake the first image in their own style. Personally I heavily enjoyed this and I can't recommend enough to check these artists out. (Cough cough, send them a commission, they're...

Instagram

[chrome badge]

Also

[stark bloom]

Is it yours? 👀

[chrome badge]

That was mine ye

I just made it actually, with the power of Gimp.

[stark bloom]

That looks awesome 🔥

[chrome badge]

Sadly not finished though I need a way to make the shadow better but thank you

Any recommendations

[rare solar]

If you want to bring out the shadow you want to create a sense of depth, but that is easier said than done

Here is an example from professional artist Tris Baybayan. You can see the high contrast with the dark and lighter colors and shades that gives a scarier look if you will

[chrome badge]

Thank you

[stark bloom]

Yeah, I think a bit of a gradient would make the shadow more three-dimensional, and playing around with shapes a little!

[rare solar]

I think you can also be more playful with sharper lines, but it could stray away from the style you have

[stark bloom]

"randomized" shapes are very tricky, so it's good to have multiple layers and experiment a lot

[rare solar]

I wonder does Gimp have clipping masking

[chrome badge]

Hmmm thank you. I'll test my luck

[hollow badge]

what the fuckkkkkkk bro that is sick

[still obsidian]

some totem from wow (my second pixel ever)

[chrome badge]

Also dman dude, those look sick

[stark bloom]

Ooh you did all of these? Very varied style

[still obsidian]

yep now im more focused on backgrounds like the ones you see on wallpaper engine (and soon namatama)

[stark bloom]

Awesome, good luck

[stark bloom]

Love that, good purple

[hollow badge]

damnn yeah the colors are so cool

[stark bloom]

OSPUZE yellow? 👀 the contrast is great here, though transparency makes it hard to see on dark Discord

[daring stratus]

I think my scene that ive been working on is finally done

some of my latest pieces (felt "spacy")

[warm swallow]

thats such a cool project!! i love to see commissioners giving so much gratitude/praise to the artists too 🥺 💕

[tired jacinth]

u modeled everything?

[icy fern]

😮

[daring stratus]

No i used an asset pack i can model but for enviroment art theres no reason to model everything.

[quartz sail]

I like this!

[daring stratus]

Thanks!

[hollow badge]

this is awesome
i love how claustrophobic the assets feel with everythign being close to each other yet how vast and big the area feels ❤️

[daring stratus]

Thanks sm i really wanna find a cool way to add more to it than just pipes n concrete

Thinking of moddeling some sort of nuclear reactor looking thing at the end of it

[hollow badge]

yeah fs :)) also, is it supposed to be like freezing in there? the fog looks very blue so was wondering 👀

[daring stratus]

I have a cold and a warm version idk which one i like more atm but my last scene was warm so idk, also funny that no one notoced the guys foot phasing through the floor

I think i like the more depressing version more though tbh

[hollow badge]

ahh i see! I think it all depends on the vibe. the cold mood definitely (at least for me) brings up the mood of isolation and even desertion because factories aren't supposed to feel cold as they're naturally warm with hot fumes coming out of pipes, etc
and there's supposed to be a lot of people working in factories so i like this, feels isolated and depressing

[daring stratus]

Yeah its feels dystopian and like the mans just a small piece of the big machine and really has a lot of mental story telling and stuff you can really use your imagination when you look at it...

[chrome badge]

Poor soul got hacked

[vague creek]

fr

[obsidian basalt]

sculpting in blender is hard :/

especially if you havent got a digital pen

[icy fern]

Looks good

[obsidian basalt]

if we look at the vert count i might need to do a bit of retopology

[hollow badge]

wtf hahaha
maybe yeah do some retopo hahahaha

[urban smelt]

you made that?

[obsidian basalt]

yes

[urban smelt]

nice work

[obsidian basalt]

@hearty coyote its a rough start but i just wanna make something relating to the Zelda series, rn I'm making a scene reminiscent to korok forest and OoT's temple of time pedestal

im also trying to incorporate a ghibli style to it because why not

[ivory hinge]

That sword looks really good!

[obsidian basalt]

Thanks!, might also make a second model where its not half destroyed, we'll see

[stark bloom]

Ooh, very nice sword shape

[obsidian basalt]

put a simple cel shaded look on the sword

also experimenting with a forest scene though i don't really know what i'm doing with it, would like to make the pedestal area around the sword look more run down and old though

[quartz sail]

It looks familiar…

[cinder jacinth]

That’s beautiful

[obsidian basalt]

nah it’s definitely original, not inspired by korok forest from Botw or anything

[hollow badge]

howd u get the grass to look so painted

[obsidian basalt]

Uhh i used Blenders particle system to generate hairs, made those hairs into curves, put like 4000 of them in that area, got them to clump up in small batches and then used an image texture I found online, I’ll send it to you later, oh right I also altered the hue and saturation values to make it pop out a bit more

[plain crest]

RGB toon shader the sword pls

[hollow badge]

ohh i see 🤔 thats cool asf!

[dense spear]

Blender also has the ability to paint the vertex’s in sculpt mode. This allows you to paint your meshes without uv unwrapping

[obsidian basalt]

okay

[obsidian basalt]

ive just realised i don't actually know what your trying to say lol, here's what the current shader looks like so if you could maybe tell me what you mean by that i'll change it

[plain crest]

Idek if its possible with blenders node system tbh
But I remember seeing a way you could have colours on a model retroactively change based on their surroundings
But thinking now that's probably only gonna work in an animation using the cameras distance to animate the colours

I just thought it would be cool to see it animated and glow with power

[obsidian basalt]

ah i think i know what you mean, however thats probably more advanced than i know

[plain crest]

You already made it look amazing tbh
It was a sleep deprived dumb brain moment of
"I wanna see the cool sword glow"

[obsidian basalt]

i wanna see it glow too

Change the toon shader to diffuse node

Then add at least 3 colors to your color ramp and make sure it’s set to constant. You want a shadow tone, a high light tone, and a normal tone. Add a sun to your scene and set it in a 45 degree angle and adjust the sun to about 2 times power but you might need to play with this depending on how your model behaves but usually just don’t go over 5. That is how you get a pretty nice looking cartoon shader

If you want to make it glow you might want to try this. (I haven’t done this before so this is me guessing). Add a mix shader node between the diffuse node and the shader to rgb. Then add a emission shader into the other input. Turn the emission shader up and give it the glow color you want but don’t make it something crazy like 20k or something because that’ll overpower the detail. Then take the slider on the mix node and slide it mostly towards the diffuse node (I believe this would be the left) this way you have a subtle glow to your toon texture.

I think that’s what qornatio was referring to but I could be wrong lol

[obsidian basalt]

thanks for the info Snake

[obsidian basalt]

yeah that didn't work, but i'll look for a solution later, thanks for trying though!

[plain crest]

Emissions aren't too bad
If the model is lots of separate textures
Just adjust the emissions node on the texture you want( and enable bloom in the render properties)

Or if you want parts of one texture to glow
Make a copy of the texture and black out everything but what you want to glow
And make the glow bit white

Then just use a mix mode and an emissions node
Top of mix just goes between mat output and the mixer for normal texture
Then hook blacked out image texture to an emition node, then hook that up to the mix

[dense spear]

Duplicate the color ramp and plug it into emission color. If you have bloom enabled it should be glowing

[forest anvil]

Been thinking of reviving an old character of mine I made awhile back:

[meager crescent]

English only please! And this is not the place to ask that.

[modest hedge]

little room I made for no reason

[lunar kindle]

I love the almost indie horror game feel

[modest hedge]

@lunar kindle thank you my good sir

[lunar kindle]

Do you do this iso type of work a lot? It has a cool feel to it

[modest hedge]

@lunar kindle well kinda but not a lot really like here I've got other projects that I can show you

[lunar kindle]

For sure! My DMs are open or you can drop them here, I am a designer myself and I am always a fan of cool art

[modest hedge]

I also have a few more screen shots but its just the same cube but with different lights

@lunar kindle my bad I think I should have told you I was gonna show it in this channel unless you already saw it my bad again for pinging you

[lunar kindle]

The top right house (3rd image) is my favorite, but I love the lighting work on all of them

[modest hedge]

thank you also little fun fact im using that picture as a cover for a playlist full of LoFi on Spotify

[lunar kindle]

That is super fitting haha

[modest hedge]

lol also I have some Blender animations but its just me making objects spin with RBG on them lol

[lunar kindle]

I need to get much better at 3d, 2d I have down, my college degree is studying graphic communications right now

[modest hedge]

nice

also if your wondering what I used to make the images above I used MagicaVoxel which you can make stuff out of little blocks. Also bonus if you have Teardown you can make maps for the game using MagicaVoxel

[daring stratus]

Very generic tool box

[modest hedge]

very nice imma be honest I can't make something normal it's gotta be something completely random for example

[modest hedge]

also for this animation I only rendered like 90 frames of this

[daring stratus]

It helps modelling something when you have a scene/story to tell.

Because then you have a direction and you can kinda create rules around it

[modest hedge]

fair

[modest hedge]

DAM bro I couldn't make anything like that well I could but it would take a while thats for sure

[daring stratus]

Although im mostly using an asset pack i bought for this im starting to model and make small little details that i can place to make it feel less copy paste and more like my own thing and give it more character than what the asset pack provides

[lunar kindle]

Keep posting great 3d work everyone, I want to keep checking this channel while I am at work

[modest hedge]

lol

[daring stratus]

Anyways gunna tackle the foreground of this scene today and sculpt some rocks

[modest hedge]

nice also good luck

[daring stratus]

I hate making rocks lol hiding seams making me wanna die

[modest hedge]

thats why I try not to make too complicated stuff

[modest hedge]

also believe it or not I make maps for Gmod and here is one of the maps I made

[daring stratus]

then just play with asset packs no shame in world building

[modest hedge]

yeah u got a point

[modest hedge]

ay its lookin good

[meager crescent]

It's turning out amazing!!

Nice work

[obsidian basalt]

had my art exam today and had to create a poste that had natural elements to it, you guys think it turned out okay? i thought it was okay like 4 hours ago but now i’m questioning it

and yes some stuff you see in it may be based off a certain game franchise by a certain Japanese company

[daring stratus]

Ty gamer

[obsidian basalt]

and yes i put random shit in the billing card and the first “poster” is awfully green because i’m horrible at camera placement

[meager crescent]

[plain crest]

Damn this turned out so cool

The shading style it

[hollow badge]

Ur incredible

[analog zenith]

@hollow badge @ruby tartan I've been doing a lot of photography while away, here's one little challenge I did of 9 photos, all except 1 b&w

[still obsidian]

nate in the sixth picture 📸

[hollow badge]

these are incredibel! im not a photographer but i just love seeing images like these ❤️ ❤️

[dense spear]

As artists we are our greatest critics. It looks great mate from what I can see

[analog zenith]

I'll be sending more soon, I've got a lot of bird pics and other stuff, some cool cemetery pics as well

[daring stratus]

I like the one on the right a lot but the left could do some work with the composition and youd have a really cool poster.

Also Gotta do a squint test or look at it from a distance and really gotta look at if what your trying to focus on is noticeable. the sword has alot of noise around it and it blends into the background so it takes away from the overall scene

[ruby tartan]

I'd join Swa in saying I'm not an expert either but these look awesome! Also, that little birb is so adorable

[stark bloom]

Ohhh, that's me

I love these!

[lunar kindle]

Great finish! (I don't see seams)

[fading karma]

ert i made

[daring stratus]

i didnt model anything there yet im modelling a bunch of props and stuff today though for it.

[lunar kindle]

Eager to see your final work

Hi yolks! For ease of moderation this channel will be locked until the end of the Closed Beta. Feel free to use the main off-topic chat in the meantime. Thanks for your understanding

[stark bloom]

We're back

[knotty rapids]

yay!

[haughty iron]

[obsidian basalt]

woooo let’s go

[supple kettle]

finally!

[daring stratus]

im working on it again!

[fathom sail]

if you want feedback : (other wise ignore this message)
||I've looked at your post history, and I can tell you are having some issues finding the right composition ||
||I can't really tell what is your intention, do you want to make the character small compared to the environement ? ||

||if that the case, the lightness of the wall on the left and right really take the attention away||
||Do you want to focus on the character ? ||
||character is too small to be the focus, and look like a secondary part of the image, (It is also a bit too small compared to the rest and the |environement, a railguard usual arrive slighty bellow half the torso, here the railguard is arround the top of the torso)||
||I'm also trying to know why is the side wall at first ground are soo well lit, where is the light comming from, especially when the rest of the environment are globally in shadow||

[daring stratus]

Love the feedback

[fathom sail]

You're welcome 🙂

[woeful hazel]

[supple stratus]

[cinder jacinth]

that’s beautiful. is that destiny?

[cinder jacinth]

i love how you dropped the feedback 😂

[cinder jacinth]

im trying to learn animation..

Here's one of my test anims
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX7NTtc5Y1c

[stark bloom]

Amazing, and wow "only" 12 hours? Animation is so much work 💪 And you've made the movements very smooth and bouncy

[cinder jacinth]

Thank you! :>
it really was a pain to get finished but im very proud of it.
🎉

[flat herald]

For some reason I can't post images?? And image links aren't working either. I wanna share my art too :((

[misty bobcat]

Gotta chat a bit more to level up to Rising Star dw it doesn't take too much

[flat herald]

Thank you!! ^^

[cinder jacinth]

that bunny is definitely John Wick's

[cinder jacinth]

hehehee :)
Thanks moon, youre my fave

[spare kernel]

This is really well done for only 12 hours. I tried animating an idea I had for a cartoon and it took me like 4 hours to make a 5-6 second clip.

[cinder jacinth]

That's all right!

Trust me, it takes a LOT of time to learn how to do things efficently.
This here is like 6 months worth of learning on display

[woeful hazel]

waaaa, she is perfect... insane...

[quick elm]

thank you!

[crisp wren]

finished the piece, finally lmao

[daring stratus]

This is sick

[crisp wren]

👀 👌 thx m8

[crisp wren]

also it momentarily goes on offtopic while its unfinished, but this is going to be hype asf, finally got a composition for a the finals PROPER drawing

im gonna make it to the level of finish like the one right above it

[random flare]

yooo thats awesome

what outfit are you going to use?

[crisp wren]

partly custom one, gonna use my CB1 fit, but the jacket is going to be white with my whole axis corporations iconography on it haha

[random flare]

oh yeah i love that outfit

[crisp wren]

yeeeeeh, im gonna throw all the money necesary to recreate it once the game is out, its THE fit i want lol

ooooooh i got it, so i was thinking how i could style a jacket in white with the whole axis stuff, then i remember i designed this lol, so, polygons it is

cuz i want a strong contrast between the black pants with white logo, and white jacket with black logo, so that's gonna be interesting to implement, besides that, everything else will stick to ingame accurracy

[random flare]

can't wait!!!

[crisp wren]

hell yeh, just wanted to settle on a composition today, tomorrow ill bite hard on progress, background first though, that's always important xd

[stark bloom]

You decorated them? So cool

[daring stratus]

Thats pretty cool

[hollow badge]

any update on this? :D looks awesome

[crisp wren]

Just been busy, will work on it sometime soon

[crisp wren]

👀

[paper sun]

broo this is gonna be so sick i cant wait for you to complete it, your art looks amazing i wish i could draw like this

[crisp wren]

welp, that's what practice is for, wishing aint gonna get you anywhere, you can get there, just need dedication

[stark bloom]

Wonderful detail in that outfit!!

[crisp wren]

Ty! Itll have a custom jacket too 👀👀

[queen quartz]

try switching the top fill pattern to concentric and making only one ring towards the middle.

[stark bloom]

Might be level 1 or 2! Just need to chat a little more

[coarse sage]

bro wtf hahaha

[obsidian basalt]

he’s shocked by how good these tanks are

[crisp wren]

preliminar background concept, very early on color composition

[obsidian basalt]

Looks great so far! Cant wait to see the end result

[crisp wren]

hell yeh. this one's gonna take a while lmao

[deft badger]

Weird ask, does anyone have the full list of the team names in The Finals? I’m trying to make “group photos” of each one as a piece of fanart to post here and just wanted to make sure I got them all

So far I have The Vouges, Retros, Boundless, Kingfish and Live Wires

[paper sun]

I think one of them is called The Overdogs too

[opaque scarab]

Color scheme really good but id MAYBE try to do one version in the day yk

[crisp wren]

i liked it this way out of the many i tested already, why would i do otherwise

[opaque scarab]

I didn't know you tested many i thought it was the first one

[crisp wren]

well i suppose assuming what an artist has done or hasnt to reach a result is not the greatest idea when it comes to pushing an idea towards their work

best course of action would be to not do it at all

[fleet matrix]

Looks sick

[opaque scarab]

It was just a suggestion chill out man

[modest meteor]

bonk

[obsidian basalt]

Oh my god it’s that one amphibian from that show, I swear his name is Spike or some stupid thing like that, I know he has that old toad he calls gramps

[daring stratus]

the start of something big

[modest meteor]

Sprig. That old toad is Grime but nah he live with his grandpa Hop Pop

also rare The Finals and Amphibia enjoyer

there's still two more btw, plus another one that is still on the sketch paper

[hushed bay]

I'm so gonna do some FINALS AI art haha

[crisp gyro]

I love them coins

[obsidian basalt]

here’s some art for you guys to complete the bingo challenge

[stark bloom]

Ooh this is a great study! Though I can't quite work out what the original thing is

[wind geyser]

issa tree branch with 2 leaves

[trim pilot]

wait that's gorgeous , like I need a new mouse and now I wanna do this

[dense spear]

That’s such a great start! Ground totally looks photo real with so much detail

[hazy rose]

couldn't tell which one was drawn prior to zooming in

[daring stratus]

Now im struggling with composition lol

[dense spear]

Maybe tweak the camera lens to more or less mm?

[daring stratus]

Yeah the focal length feels weird

[dense spear]

Try lowering camera and decreasing mm to about 18-20. Not sure how it’ll look but iv done something similar with my camera irl

[daring stratus]

Yeah ill check it when im on unreal

[quick elm]

heyy I would br happy to make you one:)

[trim pilot]

Oh it's okay thankyou :)

[quartz sail]

Thats beautiful dude! did you make it yourself?

[silver parcel]

Whhatt that looks so good!

[daring stratus]

the left image is mine the right is an image i pulled off google for inspiration just kinda practicing making natural enviroments.

[hollow badge]

one practice i used to do a few years back is to try and copy a reference image 1:1 including lighting, shadows and highlights, detail (as much as you can), post effects and color balance and composition
i feel like with that it helped me pick up some small nuanced details after doing it for a while..

[daring stratus]

Thats essentially what im doing with quixel assets
My mentor just gave me a bunch of random pictures to attempt

And then when im done i can add creative stuff to them

[daring stratus]

Sick picture dude even tho discord compressed it too hell

[analog zenith]

Thanks lol, it was already a little poorly compressed since I was wirelessly transferring it from my camera to my phone

[daring stratus]

Lol hate when that happens

[dense spear]

Love the lighting (this isn’t bingo btw lol actually love the the lighting)

[obsidian basalt]

yes, it was pure pain considering i rarely do shading, especially when your teacher forces you to do it in under 3 hours 😭

[quartz sail]

I love it 🙂

[daring stratus]

thanks

[daring stratus]

bingo?

[dense spear]

One of the bingo things was to compliment someone’s art. I’m just saying I’m actually legitimately complimenting your art lol

[daring stratus]

ive been playing around with the plants and bushes and trying to make the floor look better aswell still kinda lost i think the floor may have TOO much detail i think it just has too much going on atm

I just call it silly bird

[shy drift]

I freaking love that show. You're badass.

[hollow badge]

this looks good! u should mess around with the lighting and post fx so theres more contrast to the image cuz it looks very flat

[daring stratus]

Yeah still playing around with it

[carmine panther]

Tama money spread

[misty bobcat]

Honestly it'd make such a great sticker

[carmine panther]

I'll drop the money spread after a team wipe to show them whats up

[obsidian basalt]

why does that look so cool

[vague creek]

i thought it was a birds eye view looking down into the house and the money is the stairs going up

[rain inlet]

I have no idea if it's the right channel but, in https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1078703486604165210 it says "Edits of Embark Studio's art and assets are allowed under the condition that you specify that it is an edit and avoid claiming ownership and watermarking." which means we should be able to make skin concepts with the ingame models right ?

[misty bobcat]

As long as it's written it is an edit of original artwork or unofficial concept art, yes.

[rain inlet]

I'm also wondering if anyone has some UE5 tools to get the ingame models, i'm used to getting models from Unity games and UE4 but i have no idea about UE5
But i'm guessing i should probably ask somewhere else for that

[rain inlet]

So, i gave it another try, i couldn't get anything out of it tho.. I did manage, during CB1, to unpack it and then got stuck and deleted the files, i can't even unpack it anymore D:

[hollow badge]

i would be careful when trying to grab ingame models from the game files:) idk if you are allowed to unpack models

[carmine panther]

get yo money up

[icy fern]

i dont think thats even legal, you would need embarks permission or even embark themselves to give the models out

[forest anvil]

I had a random idea.

Decided to do these out of boredom

[hollow badge]

^^ this.. @rain inlet i think best thing you can do is to remodel them yourselves from the public information you have :)) it would be tedious 😂 but that's the only way probs

[dense spear]

I love this! Future Nama with yu gi oh cards???

Thanks so much Luke 🥰 I honestly was skeptical about this one because it was so rushed but I'm happy about the response :3 people rlly do perceive stuff differently

[rapid orbit]

Amazing

damn these trees looks awesome

[cinder jacinth]

How do i post art?

[obsidian basalt]

you’ll have to talk on the server a bit, pretty sure until you gain the contestant role (it’s like 75msgs so not much) then you should be given perms to send images here

[low lily]

I was wondering the same. Thanks for the heads up.

[low lily]

FINALLY

An assault rifle I was working on.

[obsidian basalt]

yooo that model looks fire 🔥

[safe elk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQOGVulDoDE

[last hare]

nice

[weary heath]

is this based off an Israeli galil?

you've got a 7.62 banana mag and AK style charging handle, but then AR style trigger assembly and safety

kinda like the OG AK-12 prototypes, it looks pretty good

[low lily]

Actually based of the ak47 type 3 itself, but with more modern elements (like mlok and picattiny), side-folding stock, and non-reciprocating ambidextrous charging handle. Galil was definitely an inspiration, but not the direct reference. The reference was AK47 type 3 since I already had blueprints for all the parts in it.

Chanrging handle was actually inspired by CZ Bren

[weary heath]

one suggestion I would make is to either shortern the magwell, or have it taper towards the front, as if its AK internals the magwell needs to be very shallow to allow the rocking insertion motion for magazines

[low lily]

There is actually a gap behind the magwell, not visible in the pics I previously posted

[weary heath]

Very good job though, I like the front handguard it reminds me of some 12 gauge Saiga handguards the way it extends back onto the upper reciever

[low lily]

Minor edits

[daring stratus]

Love it

Wish i was that good at modelling lol

[low lily]

Wow, I am flattered. This is my first hard surface model. Just got into 3D modelling a little more than a month ago when I decided to give digital sculpting a try (I did enjoy clay sculpting in my youth, so maybe that helped. Not sure how much would carry over into hard surface though).

And doodling guns and tanks behind my notebook in school during lectures too lol

[low lily]

WIP, need to rectify several details.

Almost done.

[stark bloom]

Looks fire!! 🔥

[rapid orbit]

Das very nice

[icy fern]

That’s like really good for only doing it for a month, that’s insane, wish I had the dedication to do something 😆

[modest hedge]

I have made art

[low lily]

I was checking fan-art, and wondered whether I shouod post my wip renders in that channel or here 🤔. Hope I haven't posted in the wrong channel.

@low lily can you send me some tutorials you watched to learn modelling?

[ivory hinge]

looks great!

[hollow badge]

I love it
How did you texture it? Painter?

[low lily]

Although I didn't follow any particular tutorial series so far, I did watch a couple of videos for problems as they arose (particularly Ponte Ryuurui, Josh Gambrell, and the Adobe Substance 3D channels), and checked out the documentations for Blender and Substance 3D Painter. That being said, I am going to (today itself) gonna start two series on Artstation learning (not sure if I can post links here, so I'll DM you the two series. They are for low poly weapon modelling and texturing).

[cinder jacinth]

Holy shit it's Jannete!

I was forced to make a Cyberpunk OC due to circumstances (tabletop).
And I actually really liked the image of this character so I went and drew em!

[low lily]

Some renders in cycles

[mossy prairie]

so cool

[mystic saddle]

So what's next? You gonna use it for some other project? Or move on to somthing new entirely?

[low lily]

I am going to model and texture something new, this time a truck (pic, Ural 375). I haven't learnt baking yet so I'll bake the high poly meshe onto low poly one later once I do.

[frigid lark]

whoo

[empty basin]

Nice

[mystic saddle]

Yeah I can see that being a nice challenge, I shall await updates. Look forward to see it

Why can't I post my photos

[misty bobcat]

Need to interact to rank up your role friend

[cinder jacinth]

Like what?

[misty bobcat]

Just talk in our other channels like #⚡┇the-finals-chat and you'll eventually get the role to embed content.

[cinder jacinth]

Ok ty

[analog zenith]

@hollow badge @silver parcel @ruby tartan some photos that I took these past couple weeks

[ivory hinge]

omg these are beautiful

[silver parcel]

I love all of these do you have an eye for photography too?

[analog zenith]

I dabble in photography as a hobby, but I'm 100% self-taught

I try and shoot with the objective of not editing the shots at all, because I feel like for me personally it's more rewarding to capture something cool from just what the camera sees

[silver parcel]

I 100% agree when, it's also mainly because I'm not a good editor at all but I just love seeing what my camera can take e

[analog zenith]

What type of camera do you have?

[ruby tartan]

sweeeet i especially enjoy those stickers for some reason

[silver parcel]

I only use my phone camera which is a s22 ultra but sometimes i get to use my grandfather's camera who is a actual photographer

The one with the wall and blue lighting has gotta be one my favourite

[analog zenith]

Oh nice! I used to only shoot on my phone but if you have the opportunity I would highly recommend getting a camera, it's genuinely a good time getting into it and the used market is great and reliable

[silver parcel]

Tbf i'm about to get my drone license so i might use that to get some far our shots!

[analog zenith]

Dude heck yeah that would be so sick

I can't wait for it!

[hushed sedge]

a goat on a surf board is some type of find

[analog zenith]

In my 15 years of visiting that beach, that was the busiest I had ever seen it and also the strangest 😂

I also saw some fella toting around massive religious signs that towered above the crowds, it was a sight to behold

[fervent bison]

sorry but IS THAT A GOAT ON A BOARD?!

[fervent bison]

https://tenor.com/view/lmao-laughing-hysterically-gif-26398146

I can't

[analog zenith]

It's so unexpected but also epic 😂

[fervent bison]

Where in the world is that from if I may ask?

[analog zenith]

Pismo Beach, California

[fervent bison]

I was gonna guess California based on the overall vibe but also.. a goat on a board feels very.. CA

[stark bloom]

I feel like this one deserves its own post

[fervent bison]

fr I was almost ready to link it in another chat, epic

I said dm to avoid the promotion rule but aight

[misty bobcat]

The rule is technically for links, plus they are not really self-promoting (?) just replying to you

[autumn gazelle]

Hahaha yeah idk sorry if it is against the rules. You are free to delete. I have nothing to sell I promise

[wind geyser]

I just follow general rule of thumb for bigger servers that they’ll allow absolutely nothing 😄 so if I can avoid I try ^

[misty bobcat]

I always try to take the context first to see if its really breaking the rules, to me this is all good

Advertising to me is like follow me on insta guy, i'm also doing a giveaway, go like my last post

[hollow badge]

Guys follow me in real life I'll be pretty creeped out

[silver parcel]

I love the one of the pots and what seems to be a drain?

Also the ducks

[hollow badge]

Your photographs have these rlly dark shadows which look so good idk how u do it haha when I try it looks amateur asf

[analog zenith]

Aww thanks What I generally like to do is keep my shutter speed higher and most of the time I keep my ISO at around 500. The SS and also my aperture I'll adjust accordingly but most of the time I keep the ISO the same

It also may be due in part to the Fujifilm software itself because if its different film simulations

[hollow badge]

I'm really sorry but I'm not familiar with how these terms work 😭

[wind geyser]

Iso basically just means how sensitive to light it’ll be and aperture is how much the lens is being opened up (like squinting eyes vs open)

[analog zenith]

Lincuxe basically summed it up for ya 😂

[carmine panther]

this was my first time using the blender sculpt feature to 3D print something

i think it looks pretty good but i wanted some outside opinions

[low lily]

Is that what I think it is?

yes it’s a print of a dino bone

[low lily]

Oh nice!

That looks very cool!

[lofty grail]

havnt posted here in a bit, heres a little test comic i made

[lofty grail]

Mino class combat platform.
Primary "infantry" unit of the autonamous Remnant forces.

The Remnant is a bunch of magically autonomous constructs gone rouge with the death of their rulers, and are now hellset on destroying humanity.
Unusually, the Remnant possess a special kind of magic, one that allows use of firearms without use of steam or gas vapors.

Basically the Remnant has guns while the rest of the world is restricted to crude firearms utilizing big and bulky steam systems, dangerous and self destructive gas vapor systems or medieval level weaponry such as ballistas, catapults, slings, ect.

[daring stratus]

Pretty cool ngl

Does anyone know how to draw braids and dreads

[daring stratus]

still a wip but cant wait to finish it

[dense spear]

I’m sure someone else here can provide a better method lol but for a more stylized braid this is how I do it. It’s not perfect but with shadows in the center it tends to be a pretty easy method

[dense spear]

Full discloser to stay within the rules of this chat, this is a character sheet from the anime Sword Art Online, I did not draw that character. I wanted to show an example but if this is a rules violation I will delete it

[cinder jacinth]

gamer update

[wind geyser]

kinda liked the other lighting 😮
Both look cool though

[daring stratus]

The other lighting is cool but yeah im still playing with it i need a way to show the distance and how massive this area is aswell(i also have to build a whole ass interior too)

[wind geyser]

i think the composition is nice for distance/scale since you have smol things for eyes to compare to and the leading line going from the corner ^^

[stark bloom]

Lazy mouse drawing But here's my three-step method for braids. For tight braids and kinky hair you just have to pay attention that the braids are smaller and have a more defined texture

[cinder jacinth]

Ok

[daring stratus]

Yeah i wanted to add like a flood gravemind attacking it but im too lazy too sculpt tentacles

[cinder jacinth]

Ty

[wind geyser]

idk what that is but sounds cool

[daring stratus]

In halo the sentinels had a war with the flood which are like a zombie hivemind that takes stuff and uses its knowledge and they had to wipe out all of the universes organisms and make the universe start again because the flood was so undefeatable and it didnt work and not all the flood was destroyed and the grave mind was one of the biggest infection forms that is essentially a giant tentacle monster made of flesh that consumes things.

[daring stratus]

Can you show me how to draw a bird

[wind geyser]

ah ok i see, didnt even realise was halo 😄
at least now you know someone who had no idea what they were looking at can still see distance/scale 😄

[stark bloom]

No, but here is a good site with references https://x6ud.github.io/#/

[daring stratus]

Thanks lmao i want to add more fog to make it look more massive

[dense spear]

I don’t wanna be 😭

@analog zenith u inspired me to try photography haha. i found my dad's nikon camera that he bought but never spent the time to learn it so i experimented with it for a week and got these results :))

[stark bloom]

These are super cool, especially if you're just starting!

[stark bloom]

So pretty! Cats 🥺

[hollow badge]

Thank u so much :3

Yeah I pretty much strated a week ago. Unfortunately I won't be able to do anymore since it was my dad's camera haha, but maybe in the future I'll invest in one

[stark bloom]

For sure! I have a relatively 'cheap' camera but it's a pricey business 😬 I really want to upgrade, but ehhhh, a decent camera costs more than a gaming PC

[still obsidian]

It’s more about the photographer than the camera nate, said a wise man once (me)

[stark bloom]

We shall see when you try to use a cheap day lens to take a picture with high exposure at night

[still obsidian]

I sincerely love retro cameras and the retro look in general, also im not really a photographer but i took some panoramas with my phone this vacation

[stark bloom]

Yeah, the retro look is nice Same with polaroids and such

[still obsidian]

here are the panos (nothing special i just liked the scenery )

[stark bloom]

[still obsidian]

and of course discord’s gotta completely ruin the edges

[hollow badge]

These passions and hobbies are too expensive:/

Gaming pcs and handhelds and accessories
VR sets and kits
Cameras and accessories
iPads and drawing tablets for digital art
and the biggest scam in the world: Adobe suite prices (good softrware, unaffordable asf)

[stark bloom]

Drawing tablets are pretty cheap unless you go for screen tablets

My huion was about $50

[hollow badge]

Ya the cheap ones definitely do the job but I recently upgraded because I thought screen = cool XD but honestly the xppen screen tablet works like a second monitor so it was worth it anyways

But in the fall and winter study terms I'm so busy that I'm mostly in uni and I sometimes wish I could do some art at uni but I can't since my pc is at home :p so I was like should I buy an iPad and get a stylus and just use procreate? A mobile digital art workstation sounds so nice but I've spent way too much money on the pc one that I have to make it worth it and can't waste more money :p

[stark bloom]

Or a cheap laptop just for drawing? No idea

[hollow badge]

im searching for one haha, cuz the current one i have in specs is decent but i cannot draw a circle without it appearing 2s later on the screen but honestly debating between an ipoodle vs laptop.. would prefer one that can do schoolwork and drawing at the same time and both seem like they fit the criteria haha

[stark bloom]

The delay might be a driver problem 🤔

I've heard good opinions of ipads, but of course they are pricey

[hollow badge]

a driver issue? honestlyyyy it might cuz my PC has the new software/driver now and i gave up trying after my laptop starting crying everytime i drew something on it hahaha, might have to give it another go tbh thanks fgor the idea!

yeahh the ipads are pricey asff and im not very fond of apple's OS's (not like i enjoy windows either but its more familiar to me) but i heard ipads are really speedey even after a few years + they're lightweight and stuff but aaaa idkk hahaha

[stark bloom]

Not sure what tablet you have, but I definitely wrestled with drivers to get Huion working properly 😄

[hollow badge]

how do u go about it? do u just install old drivers and try to clean install everytime to see which one's the most performant? im using the xppen star g640 for the laptop since the xppen screen tablet makes my laptop blow up XD

[stark bloom]

Frankly I just google the tablet and the graphics program to see if someone on reddit knows what to do haha

[hollow badge]

Ohhh hahaha that's fair :p
Time to do that!

That’s the best I got lol

[daring stratus]

you could probably do some cool car renders with this stuff

[wanton bronze]

Wow

Looks like renders fr

[daring stratus]

Nah those are pictures but you could make some cool 1-1s

[frigid aspen]

Because I have money again, I might think about spending some of this.
Since I'm rarely (if ever) invited to TTRPGs and similar, what do you think about me getting models like these? Had too much fun with creating them in the past when I had more time though.

[daring blade]

Have y'got something physical from hero forge before? incase y'havent they come out pretty meh

stilll working on modelling the ring. im almost to the point to where i can do a damage pass on the modelling and sculpt in some dents and damages, then i can texture it and what not. i am having fun with it taking it one step at a time though. after the ring i will replace the place holder rocks and the rest of the white box with better models as well
