here ya go, a perfect side view (not orthographic)

[safe sage]

Thank you so much!! <3

[opaque saddle]

yw 😄
feel free to ask me if u want more

[whole talon]

hiii, can anyone help me with herreras proportions please? Mostly i need to draw her hands with claws. Im not usually drawing dinos but because i play a lot these days i wanted to try 🥴 i struggle af

[strong hatch]

skeleton reference are the go-to!

also for angles, id go into the character/skin maker menu in game and play around with it
I usually study the models in game for references!

[whole talon]

Damn those prpotions for hand looks crazy 💀

Thank you, good idea!

[strong hatch]

No problem! For more references, you could also hop on a community server with public admin controls to see how the body move around too! ^^ Watching the animations is also a SUPER good reference to use too 🤍 Its looking amazing so far!!

[whole talon]

Ill look it up, tysm <33 all pics on google are so different from each other

[quick girder]

@torn rose Jackie and shadow!! So cute 🥰

[opaque saddle]

oh i cant count how many hours i watched a dinosaur turn and walk around to re-code it in UE5... 💀

[opaque saddle]

Im not sure if theres anyone here that's familiar with UE4/5

but i might need some help...

[quick jasper]

Whats up?

[zinc ridge]

@viscid valve Please only post art in https://discord.com/channels/401464048610312193/401480390528729091

[flat elbow]

@uneven locust Ovi?

[opaque saddle]

im not sure how to explain it, but im trying to figure out a 1 sided check for a boolean, a "IsMoving?" boolean to blend between full body montages or torso+

i wanted it to transition from full body to torso+, but not the other way around

because for example, u can bite then walk in middle of the animation, but when u are walking and biting then stop, its gonna look iffy for the leg to slide ahead for example (if u see how most isle bite anims look like) but it also applies for calls that have some full body animation etc etc

[uneven locust]

Indeed

[jaunty cedar]

@teal summit Type comments on art in here, the art channel is ONLY for art

Not that you get warned :(

[teal summit]

ok

, my words still stand for their art.

[jaunty cedar]

Delete them there and post it in here :D

[teal summit]

deleting them still is able to be seen In the logs , chances are I get warned so I might as well not move them

[naive chasm]

@faint thistle sorry about ghost ping I forgot we don't talk in fan art but; These are cute, gj, really like popcorn trike.

[faint thistle]

thanks a lot Jake ! yeah the popcorn trike was not my idea tbh but it came out alright lol

[naive chasm]

It's the classic 3D glasses tbh, good nostalgia

[faint thistle]

yeah true

[zinc ridge]

@teal summit You’ve been warned

[teal summit]

K

[tawdry ice]

Why my sketch got deleted? I didn't break the rules. -_-

And no info in #moderation.

[vagrant bolt]

You didn't post a dinosaur

[tawdry ice]

It was Neuro Spinosaurus, but with wings. Some guys post things here that can hardly be called a dinosaur, but no one cares.

And I replaced the front limbs of the actual game character with wings and it’s no longer a dinosaur.

[quick girder]

Same thing happened to me, I drew a hybrid Utah/shark and even had it in the title “Utah shark” and it still got removed because apparently it wasent “dinosaur” enough

[tawdry ice]

I don't want to be mean to others, those arts are cool, but there are lots of images of monsters and fantasy creatures, which doesn't look like dinosaurs at all. They are not even based on the isle characters. And even some humanised dinos. But their arts are not deleted.

[quick girder]

Yea :/

[tawdry ice]

Haha! Moreover [this](#fan-art-discussion message) doesn't make sense, because my art IS the isle related or inspired. If u don't know, neuro spinosaurus is even available as a playable character on some servers. Illegally, but it is still the actual in game character.

[quick girder]

Bro, there’s literally art in the thing right now that’s not even a dinosaur

I DONT GET IT BRUV

[tawdry ice]

Pfft. I saw lots of art with smilodon, idk, big cats. Which are not related to dinos. And not deleted.

[grave copper]

I didn't write anything to the art post, if that's what you mean?

[zinc ridge]

I pinged the wrong person

My bad lol

Wait no, it was the right one, the post after the most recent one that I deleted @grave copper

[grave copper]

Oh, I posted on the wrong server.
I'm sorry!!!

[zinc ridge]

You’re fine lol

[grave copper]

I realized what happened

[quick girder]

[marsh horizon]

@delicate galleon I love youuu, finally someone makes Evrima Giga fanart!

That one is going into my collection

[opaque saddle]

ur delusional they never pocted anything of it 💀

[marsh horizon]

Discord is ass and hates me. Tagged the wrong person

[opaque saddle]

oh now i see it
i LOVVVVEEE the spino too

[marsh horizon]

@delicate galleon I need more Evrima Giga, pleaseee

[delicate galleon]

🦾😊

[fair grail]

@strong hatch wow.

[strong hatch]

I want to shoutout Alblluu for inspiring to make that too <3 Absolutely love her work. Here's the original from her

Credit: Alblluu on instagram ^

Definitely check out their work 🤍

[fair grail]

its also a great job

[opaque saddle]

UR MOM IS DYING 😭

[strong oxide]

Hey I have a question for the isle mods for the art section? <@&933486433342222376>

[vagrant bolt]

What is it?

[strong oxide]

So I posted a dragon dino hybrid and it was removed but some else can mash up a dino and it's fine for it to be there?

It's called Frankenstein dino

Like I'm not mad they made the art don't get me wrong I just don't understand how mine was removed and there's is fine?

[zinc ridge]

Dragons aren’t at all on topic, whereas mashing up dinosaurs is still dinosaurs, it’s about the subject

[strong oxide]

Ok then mine should have been fine I thought?

May I posted it to show what I'm talking it about in here

[zinc ridge]

Sure

[strong oxide]

I was doing mash up of dinos with dragon like features

[zinc ridge]

That looks like it should be fine tbh, not sure why it would have gotten removed unless there was something else alongside it

[strong oxide]

No it was just this

And the line art I did for it to show my progress before that two different post

[zinc ridge]

Yeah, that’s funky, did anyone warn you for it?

[strong oxide]

I seen the comment made that it was removed thats all I got for it unless I'm missed it down the road

[zinc ridge]

This one?

[strong oxide]

Yes and it was the picture I just showed you

[zinc ridge]

Is your art isle related or paleo art?

[strong oxide]

Just Paleo related

[zinc ridge]

Then err on the side of caution and just don’t repost it

[strong oxide]

Ok then

[opaque saddle]

@balmy vigil #isle-fan-art message this is beautiful. i love it

im almost certain ur using blender, idk how to do it on other maya (ur using some maya theme i guess?), but id suggest you merging the isolated UV islands, in edit mode select all, press M then "merge by distance" this will get rid of the wierd lines in the mesh
or basically render it with a material

other wise this is beautiful 😄

[balmy vigil]

I didn’t even render it

I screen recorded it

Cause I was to lazy to render it

But thanks for the compliment tho

And yes I’m using blender

[opaque saddle]

lol u can render using workbench engine, which is literally that

[balmy vigil]

Ik

[opaque saddle]

really would love to see more 😄

[balmy vigil]

Kinda want to make a spinosaurus ability suggestion for this game and show an animation as an example of it

[opaque saddle]

ah u gotta make a spino model
good luck trying to make a convincing one with how little references we got 💀 (saying it cuz i tried)

[balmy vigil]

I already a spino model that is similar to it anyway

[opaque saddle]

oh really?! thats awesome, can i by any chance see it?

[balmy vigil]

Made by @sleek spire for his game, imma just use this model cause is the only spino model I have

[opaque saddle]

oh wow cleric lmao
i love his style its.. out of track makes it cool

this is my latest attmpt, very rough and lacks a proper skin

[balmy vigil]

Is nice

[robust narwhal]

Here i can post hybrids?

[frozen yew]

Yes if its the isle or paleo related in #isle-fan-art

[marsh horizon]

I NEED GIGA STUFF NOW

[marsh horizon]

Hmm, I think the snout could be a bit more girthy

[opaque saddle]

THIS IS A RANDOM THING TO SAY IN THAT CONTEXT 😭

[opaque saddle]

ill scrap it, start all over again...

[marsh horizon]

Nah, it's good

Actually got rid of the Rex skull too lol.

Just gotta make the snout thicker and broader, too billboard for Evrima Spino. Rest is awesome

[opaque saddle]

thats the issue, its same with giga's crest ending, its very hard/impossible to edit some stuff like this

i really might have to make an actual model from scratch..

[marsh horizon]

Please brotha I nerd you to make Evrima Giga animations

[robust narwhal]

This is a hybrid i did for a friend 😄 tjis is his oc a mix of pyroraptor and other species

[opaque saddle]

need some feedback on this baby morph
not sure how good it looks

kinda lost, need some opinions on how to make it more baby-ish

[balmy vigil]

i got no giga model

[opaque saddle]

HEY

[sleek spire]

make the tail shorter

by a little tho

[zinc ridge]

@viscid geyser I didn’t even notice anything at first and almost deleted it lol, well made

[viscid geyser]

hahaha thank you! ive gotten that response a few times and its good to know the pixelation i did over the raptor worked well!

heres the "bird" before i grained him over lol

[tribal shell]

@viscid geyser #isle-fan-art message my favorite genre of paleoart

the subtlety is great

[viscid geyser]

thank you!

[quick jasper]

Working on another "What the Isle could look like"
this time a burrow design.

[flat elbow]

@fair grail @limber bough Miragia!!!!! lets gooooo it looks SO good!!

[fair grail]

my little baby is coming to life😭

definitely my favorite stegosaurid

[limber bough]

[opaque saddle]

my current giga Adult > Juvenile morph
any notes? i think its somewhat perfect now

[forest python]

I’m glad they got rid of this model

[opaque saddle]

teeth morph ^

[quick jasper]

figured out vertex painting.

[fair vigil]

That's an amazing sculpt ! I have the project to make a full model carcharodontosaurus with all the process of model, texture, rigging and animations

[opaque saddle]

thanks!
and thats BEAUTIFUL!! i know someon who would be insanely happy 👀 @silk gorge

||psst is it quadrupedal.. lol||

[silk gorge]

YES

MAKE IT QUADRUPEDAL AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

[fair vigil]

Damn what ? Since when did he become a quadrupedal ? 👀

[opaque saddle]

lol i got no idea
but away from that, id love to see u post of it, i enjoy watching such stuff 😄

[fair grail]

omg, quadrupedal carcharodontosaurus? hmmm.. interesting🤔

[sleek spire]

would be insane

[idle herald]

Thank you

[strong hatch]

if any of yall are making Sucho Adopts PLSSS LMK

Looking for a Sucho to adopt 🤍

[vast yacht]

Yo i wanted to draw digital, where and how do you guys draw? (I mean, do you use any digital pen, tablet or smt

[high cedar]

Procreate is a nice program to draw with

[vast yacht]

you draw with your finger, mouse, or digital pen?

[high cedar]

iPad

So finger and pen

[vast yacht]

ok

[zinc ridge]

I've always used procreate

On an iPad with a little stylus

[quick jasper]

I would recommend the ipad and procreate, ive never used it and im also not a 2d artist.
But from what ive seen and researched it's the best out there.

[strong hatch]

Feel free to ignore the yap
vvvv
ibispaint is good for beginners + its free and its tools are incredibly easy to use but procreate imo is just a lot smoother and has a pretty decent animation factor too
but for animation id recommend flipaclip for beginners and toonsquid for more professional animations!

[hollow dust]

I run krita on a huion connected to my laptop. It's great, but procreate is a very user-friendly and easy to understand app. However, it's almost exclusive to Ipad.

[opaque saddle]

YES

[graceful bramble]

What if I don’t have any

Nice photoshopping

[rigid temple]

no that's a real picture

[high cedar]

It’s clearly photoshopped either way. Either it’s from an actual show or someone just made it.

[quick jasper]

this is genuienly amazing

[zinc ridge]

@nova creek That’s pretty &$%#ing cool

[nova creek]

It was a bit of work, but I think the end result was good. Thanks for the feedback ❤️

[fair grail]

@tiny lintel very good size comparison design 👏🏻 👌🏻

[tiny lintel]

Thank yewww

[tiny lintel]

Yeah how did they do that

[quick jasper]

who knows but bro is on another level

[coral silo]

@tiny linteli think youre missing dilo? on there, but that so neat either way!!

[coral silo]

thats so freaking sick dude :O

[opaque saddle]

OMGGGGGG @craggy oriole LOOK #isle-fan-art message

[tiny lintel]

Yeah I shortened it a lot, got rid of many

[coral silo]

ooooh okay, i thought u meant it was all the evrima limited dinos, my b

[tiny lintel]

It’s ok lol, I was too lazy to put all of them in so I picked my biased ones. Honestly, I think with that roster the game would be fine

[marsh horizon]

@tiny lintel That is very nice art.

Also a very cute art style I love it.

Only thing I would say is Allo being slower than Dibble would be very..eh.

[opaque saddle]

@abstract turret omg. tell me about perfect realistic and beautiful prespective i show you that #isle-fan-art message

[opaque saddle]

@queen bluff this is beautiful, its so beautiful i might ask, are you using 3D models as the outlines? or is this fully 2D? i cant believe it

[marsh horizon]

Did you see maiam's allo grapple concept?

[queen bluff]

fully 2d lmao

tysm btw

[marsh horizon]

[opaque saddle]

reminds me of when tapwing be an absolute monster and makes perspective so convincing

[marsh horizon]

If I may give a TINY criticism?

[queen bluff]

ye sure

[opaque saddle]

this is actually insanely beautiful.

[queen bluff]

if only i could give your comment a heart emoji 🥲 but tysm i appreciate it lol

[marsh horizon]

Its not something bad.

But the eyes of the Rex looking at the camera and not down at the kill, is a bit jarring.

If it's an intentional thing, very nice detail as a "Yup, you're next buddy, just wait"

[opaque saddle]

it looks beautiful but i cant read the font

[queen bluff]

it's intentional but in the way as the animal just well being an animal lol

[opaque saddle]

some of it i mean
most of it looks great, actually what i also thought of

[marsh horizon]

Bro looking at me like a dog that knows he ate something he wasn't supposed to 😭

[queen bluff]

LMAO

[marsh horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/side-eye-dog-gif-22972113

[queen bluff]

i took reference of how big cats usually dont look at their prey when they're asphyxiating it

they're just looking somewhere else or straight up at the camera

[opaque saddle]

i swear this must be the best detail in that one
the way he looks at u dead int he eye, no eye shape changes, no Expressions, round big eyes with small pupils staring deep into your soul knowing you have 0 chance to escape its deadly jaws.

[marsh horizon]

Understandable.

I just noticed it and was like "Why bro looking at me like that"

[queen bluff]

lmao

[marsh horizon]

Since it's an intentional detail, very good job

But I know there would be other artists that did somethinf like that unintentionally perhaps, so I just wanted to shed light

[queen bluff]

ye dw

[marsh horizon]

Now I want maiam to make one for Giga 😔

[opaque saddle]

what if.. i....

but actually 2D art (especially to who's comfortable with it) is beautiful and way more creative

[marsh horizon]

You having something to visually work with would be better for you

[opaque saddle]

wdym

[marsh horizon]

What do YOU mean

[opaque saddle]

what if i do it

but then no, sylas would do insanely better with 2D

[marsh horizon]

You do 2D art?

[opaque saddle]

i do beat jay 😔

[marsh horizon]

HUHHH

[abstract turret]

I thought this was Rex ping : (

[opaque saddle]

😔

[abstract turret]

But wow how do people know how everything exactly looks in such a funky perspective

And painting is looking good better than mine lol

[opaque saddle]

thats just a matter of art-style

[opaque saddle]

but this is so true, very impressive

[abstract turret]

Eh to some degree art style is a lot of times just determined by your skill my “art style” would look very different if I knew how to shade properly with procreate

[opaque saddle]

exactly
but still

and thats something also in 3d animation or animation in general (since this is my thing) i know that, the more of a newbie u are, the more u focus on the mechanisms and knowing how to let something function reasonably
the more u get better, the more ur focus switches from trying so hard to just "animate" into characterizing it/giving it personality and emotions

so thats the same, but even then, your art style can be seen from the beginning

[abstract turret]

Yea definitely once you get the skills down you open up your creative liberties a ton

[abstract turret]

Definitely

[fluid oyster]

#isle-fan-art message
@tidal field I really love the shaping of tropeo and charactor's monster hunter-like design!

Thank you for post

[tidal field]

💖

[fluid oyster]

anime girl/boy x Dinosaur is best😋

[tiny lintel]

I didn’t know dibbles exact speed, but I intended for allo to be faster slightly by default lol. Is it 36km?

[marsh horizon]

Yea Dibble is 36 xD

[tiny lintel]

Oh lol, thanks

[coral silo]

@jaunty cedar I loove that perspective for those dilos!

if i were to give any criticism, (only cuz you said "supposed to be dilos") it would be to bring the crest down to the tip of the snout instead of ending on the bridge of the snout, If you were referencing the dilo in the game, the crest kinda comes to right above the nostrils.

But even regardless of that, I think they still read as dilo imo, they look good! The glow is super eery and cool too, i like it a lot either way <3

[jaunty cedar]

Thanks for that critique, I really appreciate it!
Despite being a doodle, you can always learn from them. Thanks for messaging :)

[fiery sparrow]

#isle-fan-art message

Hey! it's beautiful, I love the Tropeo! but, are you sure it doesn't break the rules? be careful! It would be a shame to have it deleted, but it's borderline! ( well, that's just my opinion, nice work above all ) srry for my english if some words are « wrong », i don’t speak very well

[tiny lintel]

They have a spoiler, I think it’s ok

[tidal field]

Thank you for your compliments on the painting and for your thoughts on the rules. I'll be careful

#isle-fan-art message
this image will forever haunt my dreams

[ruby roost]

Nah it was a avarage day in morisson formation

[spiral island]

It's just a personal idea that I might try to do in 3D too... it's a microraptor (in what I think would be the Isle style) lol

I can't think of any ideas for the feather pattern that would make it feel similar to the other designs... considering it's a microraptor and I'd like to keep the iridescent black/blue

Do you gus have any suggestions or ideas?

[fair grail]

@spiral island W O W

MAGNIFICENT😭

[tiny lintel]

Right? Was it made in procreate

[spiral island]

oh no ;; I draw in Paint Tool Sai lol

[tiny lintel]

Oh, first pic looks just like procreate lol

Very nice work

Where did you find an image of the isle logo? I can’t find one that reasonably works with art lol

[spiral island]

Use Photoshop XD on the Austroraptor concept art

[fluid oyster]

#isle-fan-art message
@radiant finch I like the combination of your charactor and raptor✨

=3

[spiral island]

Could someone give me ideas for patterns and colors for my microraptor? C:

[high cedar]

Ooo try like a robin color scheme and a blue jay

[tiny lintel]

the quetzal bird, I feel like it would suit this guy very well

[gritty granite]

Why did my cassowary get deleted? It's a modern dinosaur, you know.

[vagrant bolt]

Birds are dinosaurs, but they're not paleoart

[vapid flame]

OH my GOD??

That is insane

[gritty granite]

Eh, fair

[jaunty cedar]

@faint thistle Why are you reacting AI under Puco's art? She is a very well-known artist and is very talented, none of her work is AI-generated. If you are salty/trying to get revenge on that people that reacted AI under yours, this is not the way to solve that problem. Either you can leave it be or ping them here the same way I just pinged you.

[fiery sparrow]

you're wrong, it was Puco who reacted to Carnage's animation, not the other way around, but why? good question...

look @jaunty cedar : #isle-fan-art message

[torn rose]

Hes just salty that he got called out 💀

[torn rose]

Cuz he is posting AI trash in an art channel

Which is against the discord rules 💚

Also letting people know that its ai and not real art is not a crime

[fiery sparrow]

Puco, why do you think that what Carnage does is generated by AI? :0, the style of drawings remains consistent and I don't see any “big obvious evidence”, after all I don't have the eye but it intrigues me ^^

[fiery sparrow]

yes, that I agree with 2000% that if there are any, they must be removed

[torn rose]

Dawg u cannot be serious rn 😭

The writing is on the wall 🤣

[jaunty cedar]

Also the background on the latest looks also very.. not made by his style.. if we are using style argument. So it is at least partially AI generated.

[torn rose]

Its the new ai style

[fiery sparrow]

( I hope I've understood the sentence correctly, I'm not very good at English ) Yes I also agree with warning people, and helping them to discern IA from real art, but then, could you help me to see the details that make it so maybe? That way I can spot them better too!

[torn rose]

Look above and/or use your eyes

[fiery sparrow]

sorry i don't understand abbreviation^^"

[jaunty cedar]

She said 'You can't be serious' like it is obvious (to her it is). Look at the spikes on the tail, why are there even spikes on the tail? Odd

[torn rose]

I can recommend glasses then maybe 😬

[torn rose]

Confused AI behavior

[jaunty cedar]

Aye c'mon Puco not everyone speaks english I don't think Rockal is trying to defend Carnage, just understand what you mean :)

[vapid flame]

what was the original art about though.

[fiery sparrow]

you can make an animation and put it on a separate background Oo

[jaunty cedar]

Yep, but the background is not his. Whether it is stolen or AI generated, both scummy.

[quick jasper]

Whilst I don't condone the use of AI, I also dont condone the use of uneeded hostility.
Honestly embarrassing to see you all attack someone like that regardless of ai use or not.

[fiery sparrow]

that's not very nice. I'm just trying to understand by discussing with you why, I don't want to show any malice in my sentences, sorry if that's the case, I don't speak very well and am obliged to use a translator.
I'm just asking and there's nothing to stop you explaining it nicely too, I'm not attacking you personally.

[jaunty cedar]

To be fair, agreed. I just initially wanted the reactions removed, I didn't see the other party did it as well. In a way I sparked this up, which is unfortunate. Sorry to everyone .-.

[fiery sparrow]

yes, this is possible and in this case I agree that it should be punished.

[quick jasper]

No worries, I just hate to see people being absolutely rude to each other or attacking each other.

especially over ai art of all things, I get the frustration as a artist but it's no excuse to be rude.

yall could of definetly handled it better lol

yall gotta think of other emotions once in a while.
rekinder that empathy that seems to lack in most people nowadays.

[fiery sparrow]

thanks for understanding

[opaque saddle]

i love detecting AI

[fiery sparrow]

no worries, given that the reactions had been removed, I didn't immediately understand why you were saying that, and I only saw puco's reactions to a post that at first seemed quite normal to me. I'm sorry too

[torn rose]

Just so yall know this is (one of) the new style of ai images

[opaque saddle]

puco calm dwon 😅

[quick jasper]

It's the new chatgpt one right?

[torn rose]

I am completely fine sir 😅 ain't my first rodeo

[opaque saddle]

ur a bit.. idk just chill

[jaunty cedar]

You're fine bud, I didn't actually intend any hostility with my words personally, I hope that's not how you felt.

[torn rose]

Yess

[opaque saddle]

im totally with you, and im sure rockal is not defending, but rather just not getting what u mean

[jaunty cedar]

Getting scary.. even the letters aren't completely awful.

[torn rose]

Yee its getting smarter but the mainstream use of it tells on the people who use it

[fiery sparrow]

thank you, now I can be more careful in the future

[quick jasper]

we can only hope to start putting restrictions on AI usage in the future otherwise were all screweddd

[jaunty cedar]

Soon comes a time in which we won't be able to tell anymore. Which I hate. Ai generated images should have some kind of artifacts in them that can be scanned with a certain app or website to determine whether it's AI or not. That way you can still make ai 'art' if you really want to but everyone would have a possibility to tell if it is human or not.

[opaque saddle]

another isle community server had the exact same thing

and the attack on the AI poster was so crazy that i really felt standing to their side, he was really understanding and thought its allowed to send AI generated stuff there, the attack he got was crazy

[quick jasper]

😭 No hope for humanity

Some people just arent artistic and wanna feel creative.
and I dont judge for that.

[fiery sparrow]

don't worry, the important thing is to explain in a friendly way ^^

[jaunty cedar]

Think of the schools at this point!
No more learning subjects, just remembering the best prompts for the best results. (Not referring to image generation)

[opaque saddle]

oh never knew it, now this is very obvious
i DOUBT it was AI, now im so sure

[jaunty cedar]

I agree 100%!

[jaunty cedar]

Agreed, but you need to be able to distinguish somehow!

[quick jasper]

No I agree, im just talking purely about people "Attacking" others for the usage of AI

it's ridiculous and uncalled for.

[jaunty cedar]

I actually didn't think it was AI at first myself. Sad to see :/

[opaque saddle]

i hate on them only for LYING, and saying its their art
using/posting AI isnt a sin? but in the case of this guy here, i've seen people before accuse him for using AI and he be like "no this is my style" and now knowing hes lying, im actually frustrated

[quick jasper]

Yeah lying is a different story.

[jaunty cedar]

Yup it's the malicious intent. And then bringing someone else into it just because they called you out.. that is straight lying.

[quick jasper]

at the end of the day im just as worried about Ai usage as yall
I just cant see myself attacking others just over using it.

[opaque saddle]

hold on i can get the messages where he said it was not AI

[fiery sparrow]

yea sorry i speak very bad ^^" following a conversation in writing is very difficult for me, but i'm trying

[torn rose]

Dont worry peeps ill always be here to point it out 🫡

[jaunty cedar]

I agree! But I will ALWAYS call people LYING out. That ain't fair on artists that actually create themselves. At least here, it ain't even allowed.

[torn rose]

But it should be removed tho cuz it still not allowed lol <@&933486433342222376>

[fiery sparrow]

It's a good thing to sound the alarm, but the best thing is to share points of view, so that everyone can see things that the other hasn't! 😁

[opaque saddle]

sorry i think he didnt say that its not AI

[opaque saddle]

no ur english is actually very nice, ive been there too so dont worry it will get better 😅

[opaque saddle]

i really dont know how THIS arguement started? did carnage say puco's art is AI or smth?

[fiery sparrow]

you can say that Deepl's English is very good, not mine XD ( it's a translator ) but thank !

[jaunty cedar]

He reacted under her art. I didn't see that she did it under his and thought he was just salty so I asked why and if he'd remove it.

[opaque saddle]

the more you practice it and invlove in conversation, the more it'll get better 100%

[jaunty cedar]

AI art is not allowed here :)
And he did post something along the lines of 'for all the people saying I use ai video'but that is now deleted.

[opaque saddle]

wait did he react under her art with 🅰️ ℹ️ ?? XDD

[jaunty cedar]

Yuppers!

[opaque saddle]

yeah i thought he said it but i searched and didnt find, so MAYBE he's lying about it being his art, and maybe he just thinks AI posting is allowed and really meant no harm

[limber bough]

think we might want a <@&933486433342222376> in here

[opaque saddle]

CETAAAAA

[jaunty cedar]

Perhaps, you never know 🤷

[fiery sparrow]

not the translator : yea, you are right, but to discuss with peoepol like here, i mean, for This, disscution, i was better if I used a translator beacause, maybe i'm more difficult to understand than i was already with it ( I hope i will not make your eyes burn XD )

[opaque saddle]

and cant assume/judge so ill have no comment on this

[opaque saddle]

lol ur doing relatively good, im not native english so me too had to go through learning
keep going 💪

[fiery sparrow]

thank you a lot ! <3

I'm sorry, it's talking too fast for me, I couldn't follow it all, but I think the conclusion is that we all agree that AI sucks, that we should denounce it when we see it, discuss it with the person who posted it, or at least with other people, and in any case in a spirit of goodwill!

[quick jasper]

In a friendly manner!

[fiery sparrow]

sure ! :D

[opaque saddle]

❤️ 😄

[sonic bolt]

Yeah that crap hurts to see as an artist. Its so obvious. Even the background changes shape outline and color man xD

[torn rose]

yapp XD

[faint thistle]

if it is Ai like you say, why dont you do it yourself, give us the exact emote and animation shown.

[earnest horizon]

could ask for a speed paint with the typical pause for math equations several times then continuing art, ai speed paints don’t usually add those pauses, and if they do they aren’t usually comprehensible

As in next time you draw one, occasionally make a new layer, hide the others, write some math stuff down and then continuing art
Do that as many times as you like

[torn rose]

not to do a shamless plug but check out my youtube channel XD all about animations buddy

how about you show us your art process?

[fiery sparrow]

yes, now I see those flaws we talked about and it seems pretty obvious XD. Since it's very small on my phone (and quite buggy) I didn't zoom in and pay attention to those details, yet I also consider myself an artist in my spare time...😅

[faint thistle]

What i meant is, make the same emote i made with AI

Lets see if Ai will give you the same emote

[torn rose]

ohh so it is ai lol

aint nothing left to say XD

[fiery sparrow]

you know ia will never do it exactly the same way it doesn't work Carnage ^^'

[faint thistle]

What ? Lol

You said i made it with ai right ? That means everyone can create with ai then

[torn rose]

https://tenor.com/view/dies-of-death-gif-22568614

[faint thistle]

Go create it with Ai and lets see

[torn rose]

imma wait for mod now

[zinc ridge]

Did you or did you not make it using ai?

[faint thistle]

Adobe illustrator + photoshop for the frame animation

[fiery sparrow]

i agree that anyone can create with ia

[opaque saddle]

@spiral island KEEP US UPDATED!!! #isle-fan-art message

[quick jasper]

@zinc ridge If I were to post my tram model in fan art would that be chill?

I can never seem to fully wrap my head around the rules
Paleoart is the main focus but it also says anything isle inspired or related to.

I know it's probably stretching but thats why I am asking.

[zinc ridge]

If you specify how it's isle related, it should be fine

[quick jasper]

Okay cool thank you.

[flat elbow]

@opaque saddle Thats a weird lookin titanaboa

lookin good so far

[opaque saddle]

lol you reminded me that thing exists...

i hope tonight it'll look something recognizable

[wooden plaza]

are orange tree bugged?

[opaque saddle]

somewhat
also wrong chat..

[sleek spire]

looking peak G!!!!!!11111

[quick jasper]

Its going strong.

Does anyone know if AE has a color scheme? cause from my observations it's nothing but concrete.

[runic fossil]

Thank you ❤️ I'm working on spino now!

[opaque saddle]

thanks 😄

[opaque saddle]

that looks beautiful
now make a rex destroy that

[quick jasper]

a destroyed version would be cool

[sleek spire]

np

[opaque saddle]

smth like JP rex attack on the bus

[quick jasper]

I would 100% sculpt a rex but I gotta focus on hard-surface stuff

[opaque saddle]

since ur interested in hard-surface, id like to show you something

[quick jasper]

Lemme see

[opaque saddle]

you might have seen this official teaser of the isle's "Cloning Vats"

[quick jasper]

I may have missed it but probably

[quick jasper]

nah my ass missed that
those look dope

[opaque saddle]

the othe rone is increased brightness, same image ^

sooo i tried to model it few months ago

[quick jasper]

Might try my hand in remaking it.

[opaque saddle]

that'll look awesome, there is even a Large sized one

[quick jasper]

Ohhh thats what that is.

I remembered seeing that and not knowing what it was

[opaque saddle]

yup thats what it is

[quick jasper]

Looks like visual techs work.

[opaque saddle]

as usual

i just remembered i should come back to it, its cool!

[quick jasper]

Honestly not bad

i dont miss cycles renders lol

stuff took ages

[opaque saddle]

lol im really lazy to take the effort of exporting it to UE5 although ik it might be better
added to that im way more comfortable with blender tbh 🤷‍♂️

[quick jasper]

Felt that

bouta test the wip textres for the tram in ue5 right now

[opaque saddle]

may i ask, are you making those assets for a game? or just fun/portfolio

[quick jasper]

Just portfolio

i dont have the knowledge for blueprints or coding.

[opaque saddle]

yeah i feel you, it hurted my head untill i realized its really not my thing...

i actually got glass and the lights underthere modeled and textured, lol cool

[quick jasper]

not a bad start but im already noticing alot of errors lol

[opaque saddle]

that looks beautiful to me

[quick jasper]

Thank thank you!

[strong hatch]

woah looks amazing

[opaque saddle]

Here's a render of back when i was working on it, some stuff changed surely

oh it had no pillars, interesting

[spiral island]

When i have to make the rig do you think I should put a bone on each feather? lol or how would you guys do it?

[quick jasper]

cluster them
for example 5-7 feather per bone

7 feathers parented to one bone with mayybe 3 to 4 bones max

[spiral island]

ohhh

[quick jasper]

itll give the illussion yet keeps things optimized.

trainnn

[spiral island]

that looks so cool ;w;

now put that in the middle of 90s japan and its evening

[quick jasper]

gonna get it ready to post in fan art channel

cause the whole idea is that it's a tram that used to be used by facility staff to get around.

[opaque saddle]

for AE?

[quick jasper]

that'll look awesome

Ohhh that's so cool I would love to animate like that

[open marten]

TYTY! i mostly post my art to bluesky nowadays, larger sculpts like that are a lil bit of a new thing for me, but im working on another that's a dragon

[young bloom]

Thanks

[young bloom]

Some nice stuff on there, keep it up

[open marten]

tyty!

[flat elbow]

@idle herald looks great but i feel like its too much movement6 for an idle. It would work better as a sniff/scent animation then an idle but it does look very fluid and good.

[quick girder]

@open marten #isle-fan-art message they're so cute!!! do you do comms with those?? i love them !

[open marten]

TY! I'm willing to, but full on, they'd be extremely expensive due to materials and the time to do them, bare minimum $250 USD
nevermind shipping for fragility

[quick girder]

True true, I am starting up a job here and I’m tempted to save up for one of these! I love emmmmm

I’ll definitely let you know!

[idle herald]

Tyvm! Regarding the naming, I’ve just called it an idle as most games will list looking around/sniffing anims as idles, but for an animal survival game it’d 100% be an emote/scent animation.

Updated the post for clarity!

[idle herald]

Tyvm!

[opaque saddle]

its possibly a random idle action to break the pattern, been used in the isle too

[limber bough]

Thanks, I wanted to animate it, but Blender was being weird and Weight Paint wasn't working well, so I couldn't :C

[fair grail]

this is very sad, i would love to see him get animated

if you can, let me know

[spiral island]

If I manage to make an animation I will post it here

[fair grail]

[spiral island]

Help I don't know how to fix this ;-; The teeth aren't influenced by any other bone, but they still interact weirdly with the rigg

Oh I'm so dumb I found the problem xd ignore me

[quick jasper]

was gonna say double triple check,
it's always something stupid and small when it comes to weight painting

[idle herald]

Lmao I remember having the same issue when working on my carno, it really is always something dumb

[flat elbow]

@fair grail more of Cetas work? but even if its your work

LETS GOOOOO

[fair grail]

ceta has all her wonderful work with the patterns, im just organizing the palette

its not as easy as i thought, sometimes certain colors allow for combinations that hurt my eyes to see them, and even worse to imagine them in the game

but whether i like it or not, some specific ones will always be possible

some other skins i tested and they looked good

[flat elbow]

eww on the 1st pic lol but A on the next 2 i like.

why the longer i look at the first one it grows on me maybe itd look better once in game. idk just my opinion but as always great work.

[fair grail]

it was one of our candidates for a coastal skin, but then i realized it was more like a "coral reef"

but it is, really, in the game the skins are a little different

[flat elbow]

That sounds right lol Has Ouro gotten any love?

[fair grail]

he will get skins soon

[flat elbow]

do yall have a list of other dinos yall want to mod in? because both Miragia and Ouro look amazing

[fair grail]

we have a complete roster, i wont reveal it yet because its something for the near future, but some of them are: Oxalaia, Concavenator, Gigantoraptor, Sauroposeidon and Amargasaurus

and we guarantee that none of them will be a "reskin" of dinosaurs already in the game

[flat elbow]

Man, now im hyped as much for yalls mod(s) as much as i am the actual game

[fair grail]

i am too

[flat elbow]

as you should be!

[fair grail]

and one more thing, you can expect a model soon..

[fair grail]

Ikr

[opaque saddle]

my dear artists. (3D ones) i need your help 🙏

how would you make such material

[mossy prism]

@cerulean portal I like your work, you draw beautifully#isle-fan-art message

[quick jasper]

Uhhhh colors,
Roughness and metalness values

kinda hard to get that exact look as itd be better of done with a shader.
fly's exoskeletons are weird when it comes to the color reflection
it's called iridescence and it's hard to mimick with standard texturing methods

Flies have shiny bodies due to iridescence, a phenomenon caused by the way light interacts with the surface of their exoskeleton. Specifically, ridges and transparent layers on the fly's cuticle (outer layer) act as lenses, directing different wavelengths of light and creating a shimmering, metallic effect. This iridescence can serve multiple purposes, including mate detection, camouflage, and possibly even acting as a warning signal to predators. 

ue5 has some shaders for iridescence iirc

[opaque saddle]

i think theres some material setup that does it too

but the thing is, it isnt exactly iridescence
its a bit different

[quick jasper]

Probably the closest youll get tbf

unless you can write your own shader code

[opaque saddle]

nah i got no clue with coding
i might try adjusting and playing with it..
thanks tho

[quick jasper]

[placid solstice]

@torn rose beautiful drawing

[torn rose]

Ty! 💚

[silk gorge]

I must learn modeling and get blender

to make the quad carch

I'm gonna need some help

Any tips for a beginner modeler?

And also, how do you port models from say Legacy?

That would help a lot to do what I want

[opaque saddle]

i will destroy your body and melt your soul

we had a loong long talk and i was actually into modeling it
why do u ignore my help cold blooded 😔

[earnest horizon]

what an interesting start to a conversation

[opaque saddle]

context might excuse it

[silk gorge]

I am not ignoring it

I appreciate it, but I also wanna give it a shot on my own at the same time

naturally

you can continue, I still need to learn the basics of it or maybe I could simply go and make something else since, despite my love for quad carchar, it isn't the only thing I like

[opaque saddle]

so like
ur modeling it becuase u wanna learn modeling
or becuase u wanna do quad carcha by yourself 😔

[silk gorge]

surprisingly...More so the earlier than the latter

it looks interesting, I wanna try it

and see what I can do with enough practice

quad carch would be a hard one for sure, so it's not like I have any high hopes for anything I could hypothetically come up with

would rather make another big concept I had but first I would need to watch a bunch of basic tutorials and then know how to port isle models

[opaque saddle]

id say do blender 100%

and, dont think about isle models or datamining
ur here to make something

and practice practice pratice
thats it

[silk gorge]

Right

Yeah, that makes sense. Will do that then

[opaque saddle]

good luck!

[silk gorge]

Thank you

[opaque saddle]

@silk gorge @frigid steppe #isle-fan-art message

[karmic wolf]

Love seeing all the Miragaia content! That’s my favorite Stego.

[silk gorge]

Peak

[silk gorge]

downloading blender

watched some basic ass tutorials, will try to start with simple stuff

[spiral island]

I learned the basics following a tutorial ( Blender Tutorial - 2D Drawing to 3D Model from
Eve Sculpts )

[silk gorge]

just messing with the tools for now

[fair grail]

me too

[silk gorge]

I am mostly learning the modelling and sculpting thing

[opaque saddle]

first of all, ofcourse learn the controls and the basics

and learn what modes control what (Sculpt,Edit and Object mode)

then, u can dive right into Sculpting

[silk gorge]

Learning that

[opaque saddle]

i cant wait to really have content, 3D one

[silk gorge]

Although sculpting seems a little ass but it’s probably because I was using low poly or something

[opaque saddle]

i learnt sculpting 90% of these two tutorials
this is THE BEST sculpt tutorials i ever found on youtube, please do watch these (but u need to know the fundamentals, as i said)

i find this one very cool for general body, it doesnt really explain the detailed SCULPTING very well at the beginning but its awesome workflow to make the whole body of what ur making
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yn7is1Ndxfk&t=6s

this one is better cuz its very detailed and focuses more on the head/detailed parts
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OmS7WP4_vw&list=PLjCYhfeqK0a6oQZuVsmpv-EC_r7gxErsw&index=19

[opaque saddle]

oh yeah def
but dont overwhelm yourself
low-poly part is very important to make the silhouette even if its hard
not gonna take long untill u reach the fun part

[silk gorge]

Sure

[silk gorge]

Good good

Maybe if I remain consistent at it I could try to come up with my second favorite isle suggestions theropod by the end of the year

[quick jasper]

should start with something smaller to learn the UI
The hard part isnt making stuff.
the hard part is learning the UI and where stuff is.

From there it's onto UV's and Topology.

[opaque saddle]

exactly ^

sculpting is literally just like drawing, u take a pen or wtv and go wild

its not about that its about the UI and using it

[silk gorge]

Oh yeah I can see why

Theres so many options and buttons everywhere

[opaque saddle]

the fact that this program is a jack of all trades makes it even more complex/confusing

which is good, if u do get used to its interface

[silk gorge]

Will try to

I'm gonna watch those tutorials soon

[fair grail]

[silk gorge]

My end goal

Gotta practice with ovals and fish so much once I have the UI and basics down

[opaque saddle]

AYO

wait a second hold on wait wait wait

@marsh horizon ARE YOU SEEING WHAT AM I SEEING?! WHAT THE FRICKING $#%#

[silk gorge]

I must

who made that image 💀

who got the idea.. 💀

And then the idea was from someone else who left I think, but people loved it

Me included. Peak giga suggestion

[opaque saddle]

crazy

[marsh horizon]

Oh, Gigashark

[hasty oriole]

dood I beg of you give it legs

[silk gorge]

I know

and be patient, I am still trying to comprehend Blender

there's SO much stuff to keep track of

[hasty oriole]

ik man I just thought u'd given up on the better design lol

keep going u got this

[silk gorge]

Will try

As said, there's still a long way. I'm just doing some random shapes and cubes and moving their vertices around with some other options to see how it works

[balmy frost]

<@&933486433342222376> that guy is spamming his video/self promoting in every channel

[tranquil crow]

of course, i dont mind at all!

[slim plover]

Tysm

[tranquil crow]

No prob

[fair grail]

@spiral island simply amazing, the coloring is VERY good and it matches the microraptor very well, but i confess that i miss that blue coloring from before🥹

[spiral island]

Ohh thanks C: I was thinking about how the skin system works in the game and... I tried to imitate it a little xd (which led to simplifying the colors) but I can give it a similar blue color

[fair grail]

anyway it turned out really well and fit him really well

and really, in the game that metallic coloring is complicated to fit into the skin system

@spiral island really very beautiful

[spiral island]

I was thinking of doing Pterodaustro next xd and also I want to make attacks concepts and things like that hahaha

[fair grail]

hmmm... interesting

pterodaustro is a very beautiful animal visually, at least for me

anyway, keep me updated on your creations, its really great work

[ruby roost]

Guys let's beg to devs to add microraptor

it gonna be best small tier in game and you can't tell me otherwise

i think its cuz that a baby and its so fluffy that the neck seems odd

[crimson geyser]

if you zoom into the art, you can see that the texture of the brushes/canvas is consistent

it's not directly obvious either but you can also see the fade of the brushes where they end, specifically with the grass blades. i think it's just an art style. i wouldn't say ai

[abstract turret]

One can hope for a normal necked austro…

[abstract turret]

I never said it was ai?

[crimson geyser]

ah, i assumed you were suspicious of it because of the neck lol

[abstract turret]

No I just was pointing out it didn’t have the goofy long neck of the actual austro model

[crimson geyser]

i suppose considering it's a hatchling/juvenile, and baby birds have quite a lot of fluff, that may be why the neck looks funny and short

[opaque saddle]

hey guys
i heard someone mentioning the isle modeler baardo uses concept arts from a specific artist to base his models on
may i know who that dude is?

[vagrant bolt]

Are you talking about the Isle specifically? Since Tapwing and Fred generally make concepts together, which Baardo then uses for the model (and he's really damn good at getting spot on the concept)

[opaque saddle]

no no i meant like skeleton references

hold on i have an image similar to it ill send

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1049886724236529677/1361444551536935153/Brontosaurus_parvus_UWGM_15556_Skeletal.png?ex=681fbd0b&is=681e6b8b&hm=173d656bfe990f1da7531b853af0c0db99748d5659c46e04a6a5699a06d701c5&

there's a specific artist who does refernces like this that baardo uses as the BASE for the model
then surely tapwing/fred's concept for "the isle's flare"

cuz you know, tap/fred only does a side view/specific view for details like feet or feathers

but head shape, width and all, he gets it from the paleo-accurate references

or thats what i got told, and thats what seems to be reasonable

[vagrant bolt]

Ooooohhhh yea I get what you mean. No clue whose skeletal references he uses unfortunately

[opaque saddle]

@undone hazel very nice #isle-fan-art message

[undone hazel]

Thank you! Really appreciate it🙏

@shell willow Nice sculpting!

[shell willow]

Its an honor hearing that from you! Your sculpts are amazing!

[undone hazel]

You're welcome! Glad you like my work 👍

[blissful trail]

@edgy sluice That bary artwork looks amazing! If you don’t mind me asking, what program do you use? I’ve been trying to hunt down brushes with those textures

[thick jetty]

@torn rose, that animation video was unbelievably peak

@karmic wolf i loved the amarga (if that is really a amarga🥹)

[opaque saddle]

@undone hazel i love ur work mate! been following it for quiet sometime

just wanted to point out, i personally really prefer the round pupil, feels more evil and diabolical that slit pupil that seems more like a predatory looking animal

[undone hazel]

Thank you for the kind words! I think I also prefer the round pupil even though I thing vertical pupil are so underepresented in paleoart/media

[opaque saddle]

all the love to u and ur work ❤️

and i believe the reason of that is.. probably because it became common sense for the round pupil being the better/more realistic? if u wanted to go with design choice type of flare it would be very welcomed 😄

[karmic wolf]

Yep, I love Amargasaurus! The spines version is the coolest, but I have a soft spot for the tough, single sail interpretation. All those ligaments would have made it durable!

[undone hazel]

I personaly think it's just a trend (like dinosaurs with "lips"), round pupil make the dinosaur look more like an "animal" for a lot of paleofans but both kind of pupil are scientificaly valid since we didn't find any preserved eye tissues that tell us the pupil shape, and also thanks!!

[fair grail]

this version is infinitely better compared to the one with the exposed spines

🙅🏻‍♂️

[karmic wolf]

Spines are METAL but I like this one a liiiittle more. The only one I don’t like is the fish fin design with thin webbing between the spines. Just no point and kinda boring. Go big or go home!!

[karmic wolf]

The explanation I’ve seen is that in living animals, slit pupils seem to become less effective higher of the ground. Foxes and house cats have slit pupils, but wolves and tigers have round pupils. It matters what they need to see and where they are looking at it from. So dinosaurs might have followed the same rule of thumb. Genuinely no way to know tho, so I say we all have fun.

Also super recently I learned that Skimmer birds have slit pupils, which I had never seen in a bird before!! But it kinda follows the same logic, since they catch fish from just under the set face of the water without falling in themselves. Any Pterosaurs that actually skimmed for fish might have had vertical pupils too then. 🤷‍♀️

But also, one of my favorite T-Rex designs is the one in Dino Crisis. Its large yellow eye with the vertical pupil staring into space just makes it look genuinely threatening, in a mindless biting machine kind of way.

It also kinda reminds me of how a shark rolls its eyes back in its head to avoid damage when it goes in for a bite, the way it doesn’t look where it’s biting, even though I know the real reason they did this was cause it was easier than adding eye tracking on the dang PS1.

[opaque saddle]

hello
for all the modelers out there.. i need some help
i have been modeling a dinosaur with plates that has a specific design to follow, and i hace 0 idea how to go on modeling them, do i drag them from the base mesh, make them separately? if so, ever single piece indivisually or use morphs between few shapes
not sure.

would love any help

[fair grail]

i dont like the version with spines, but otherwise i agree

[fair grail]

omg what dinosaur is that💩 💩

Frustratingly, the 6x9 Bienfang 70lb sketch book that I have been buying and using and carrying around daily for the last fifteen+ years is out of stock everywhere I look, and seems like it might be fully discontinued. It’s actually stressing me out, cause I only have three or four blank pages left, and I’m not sure what to do. All the alternatives I’ve tried are just way worse quality or way lighter paper. I need 70lb paper, but I can’t carry around a 9x12 book nearly as casually as my polypropylene cover 6x9. Losing my mind over here.

[edgy sluice]

Thank you! It’s photoshop CC 2019, I use some custom brushes and I can't remember exactly but some are similar to Esben Lush's brushes

@tidal field I love that chibi style charactors!!

[charred ice]

random question,
what do y'all use to make art? im currently using magma art which is a pretty terrible art thing, and im tryna find a better one,

[sudden wren]

ms paint

[last sentinel]

Krita

[frosty cipher]

@fair vigil What program do you use?

[fair vigil]

Zbrush

[frosty cipher]

Did you also use it do model it? or just add the details

[fair vigil]

Everything was made on it

[opaque saddle]

id argue Zbrush and blender are equal

depends just on ur prefers
people always say Zbrush is just better

[little prawn]

@fair vigil Love the detailing

[little prawn]

Blender is a swiss knife
Zbrush just does 1 thing and it does it good

It does have zmodeling but it's not very fleshed out

For pure sculpting I always prefer zbrush

[marsh horizon]

@sudden wren I love your skull.

Tho, I did have an idea for ya.

Make the skull in the mouth, the Rex skull from the official logo.

Would be a funny switch-up imo

[sudden wren]

Thank you:), that’s a good idea as well

[marsh horizon]

Hehe, nice.

[opaque saddle]

exactly
but im saying, Zbrush sculpting VS blender modeling arent the case of "this is better than that" i think they have their uses, both

[opaque saddle]

LMAO I DIDNT NOTICE IT UNTILL NOW

[little prawn]

99% of people use zbrush paired with another modelling application

[quick jasper]

zbrush is by far better at sculpting then blender, like by farrrrrrrrrrrr.

they both have their uses but if you want quality sculpts that really gets the job done then zbrush is the way to go.
While blender has sculpting tools it's just, not that great at times.

[opaque saddle]

im not that experienced in modeling, i didnt finish my first sculpt yet, but i have decent general knowledge

and i still have no idea why people think Zbrush is better

the only thing i heard, is that blender cant handle high polys
meanwhile that person doesnt know multiris modifier

[quick jasper]

Just overall better tools and the fact it can handle more polys is huge

more polys means more detail whichh means ever better hi poly bake results

[proud warren]

Is Zbrush free?

[little prawn]

nope

[little prawn]

Blender just tries to do everything without focusing that much on sculpting specifically

Blender just emulates Zbrushes greatness, everything blender has Zbrush does better; Id just try Zbrush to be honest

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yKGfcp2z3k

Sorry this is like an hour but it goes over a lot of zbrush features

[bold mulch]

#isle-fan-art message what humans are going to do once they come to The Isle

[opaque saddle]

oh u think i thought "blender is better"? no. i know zbrush is better but i just cant afford it ! 😃

[opaque saddle]

put a rex skull on a spear 🤭

ad bite on it

[little prawn]

lol

Some ppl are ignorant

[opaque saddle]

oh i didnt mean to sound rude i was just trying to say that... well Zbrush one way or another is worse cuz its 60bucks a month which is more than i as a human consume per month 💀

[opaque saddle]

i mean everything else yeah i agree zbrush is better
but i still believe blender can handle a lot of polys

[drowsy coral]

Hey so, do renders like these count as fan art?

I was going to make some for all the Evrima animals, but idk if they count since the only thing I did was pose them in blender and snap a render

[opaque saddle]

DEF!!

[opaque saddle]

i mean... u still got the "fan-" part 😃

[drowsy coral]

That’s fair lol

[quick jasper]

it can handle around 10-20 mil easily,
past that it's too much for it to handle usually and starts lagging.
whilst zbrush can handle probably 10x that.

@fair vigil yo beautiful work as usual!
but im curious, may i know what program is that? looks like Zbrush but feels a bit not Zbrush

[opaque saddle]

hypernova dont forget to remove the male display from the female skin...

Nope, blue on the throat

that was so long ago-

[fair vigil]

That's Zbrush

Better late then never

[opaque saddle]

ah

also are you planing to rig it? if so, are you doing the wierd jaw it presumably had? (the Hypo type thing jaw)

[craggy oriole]

@sudden wren nice!

[fair vigil]

Yes, it's planned ! This is just a render for fun, but I plan to make animations on it, including the pelican-style jaw.

[opaque saddle]

woah i just saw the latest render its cool!
and im excited for the animations and seeing the jaw in action, looking forward to see more of it 😄

[earnest horizon]

@mild spindle LMAO try offtopic discussion instead of isle fanart

[mild spindle]

Aight thanks 😂 wasn't sure where I could put it but wanted share.

[twilit coral]

Yeah it does

[gray kelp]

@drowsy coral those renders are amazing, I love how they capture nature of the species so well

[drowsy coral]

Thanks! I have the feeling that the more I do, the more difficult it'll become to capture that, since the poses will start overlapping, but for now the focus is to try and make it more than just "Here's what the model looks like"

Ideally these could be used for something like the quick guide as replacements for their screenshots from the skin menu

[opaque saddle]

this is extra work
but u could do their ENVIRONMENTS too, to make it more convincing

aka
deino in swamp
quetz on some mountain
dryo in a burrow
herrera on a tree
sucho in some shallows

[drowsy coral]

I thought about it, but decided against it for the purpose of maximum transparency on the image, allowing it to be used in more contexts

[strong hatch]

Amazing job @drowsy coral <3 Love seeing your work!!

[opaque saddle]

ah gotcha, understandable

@drowsy coral loving these renders really making me enjoy the default skins again too. absolutely stunning work with the poses. ❤️‍🔥 hope youll do these for the future playables too.

@shell willow the last two poses are the better ones IMO great work btw

[drowsy coral]

I plan to do them for every animal as they become available. Glad to hear you like em lol

[strong hatch]

would screenshots from in game albeit edited in some way be allowed in the art channel?

[opaque saddle]

@sleek spire i have no idea what that is but i THIIINK its a minmi?

[sleek spire]

mhm

low poly styled

[opaque saddle]

oh cool
may i ask, how do you go about modeling? like, whats ur workflow

[sleek spire]

i block it out then i add a mutli res and start sculpting and when i find it good i start decimating it

[opaque saddle]

oh so u literally just make a high poly model
and then decimate

[sleek spire]

yea

[opaque saddle]

dats cool

although i personally find it a very underwhelming to do low poly
idk it just... feels not as good as seeing the full detail one? 🤷‍♂️ not saying ur work is bad tho its just how i prefer the models

its obviously more.. stylized? to do low poly

[shell willow]

Glad you like them!

Hate that shit. Soon as I heard I scoured it from everywhere I could reach. Lol

[opaque saddle]

and also not sure if you're aware, but i just saw Rumple kicking MULTIPLE AI things out of lorecord
just saying you could ask him for their IDs if you havent done so here yet

oughhhh

[proud warren]

How do you ban using ID? I have my own server

[dusty island]

Type /ban and entry fields will come up. Paste the ID, Don't Delete Any for messages (there won't be any) and then enter.

It'll be removed.

[proud warren]

Ok, thanks!

[dusty island]

Do each one by one. You can't bundle them in one ban motion afaik.

I don't actually use that function to ban very often if at all.

You can also type that command in any chat, as long as you have administrative authority in the Discord you're banning in.

[proud warren]

Ok

[gray kelp]

@charred ice hey btw, that background looks pretty ai generated, so I’d try to verify how it was made by that other person…

[crimson geyser]

^ i was thinking the same thing. a lot of the elements in the background fuse into each other

[rare depot]

@drowsy coral you building a shader for the evrima dinos?

I have one for the legacy dinos but evrima is wayyy more complicated with all the extra fx layers

[opaque saddle]

yeah its a lot more different with the FX layers but
if ur keeping the dino clean its pretty much the same

[rare depot]

also the eyes are complicated just going off the TD files

I like having my shaders be as accurate as possible with all the extra functionality of the game shader but without the actual graph from UE it's pretty much impossible to get that close lol

[opaque saddle]

yup same lmao
the OCD is realk

[opaque saddle]

yeah the eye is a less clear and easy to work with
but i have nailed it once, its only issue is positioning the eye texture which is a bit frustrating

what i did is i made myself a mask for the pupil so the skin system doesnt affect the white of the eye

and i changed the resolution of the eye background to easily match the eye texture when im moving it around positioning it

[drowsy coral]

Yes but it doesn’t support gore or wounds or pattern variation atm

[rare depot]

Ah ok

[rapid bear]

@edgy sluice whats your art @ really liked the art you din of the alberto :)

[edgy sluice]

haaa thanks you reminded me to put my contacts in profile. For Twi @noxxxxxxxd but i don’t really post often there” and i have Telegram channel @noxian8

[drowsy coral]

TFW I have to redo all the renders because I realized I didn't have a detail layer applied to the normals

pain, agony even

[rare depot]

what do you use for extraction? Fmodel gives me issues sometimes and finding AES keys is a pain

[drowsy coral]

I use Fmodel but yeah it can be a pain

tho luckily I haven't needed to pull anything in a while

[opaque saddle]

my BY FAR favorite are

• Deino
• Stego
• Cerato
  i love ur work!! @drowsy coral

[drowsy coral]

Thanks! It’ll be a bit before I do the next set, since I need to rework my shader and update my existing renders, but hopefully I can keep the ball rolling lol

[drowsy coral]

Out of curiosity, which are your least favorites, and why?

I might revisit some of the older ones while I’m updating the shader

[opaque saddle]

what a creative question

are you AI?

[drowsy coral]

Clearly lol

But no I am trying to see what does and doesn’t work with these renders so I can keep improving

[opaque saddle]

okay so this is complicated cuz the reasons vary

like, do u mean "dislike" or u mean "dont find as interesting/as good at representing the dino"

[opaque saddle]

yeah this is what i mean, ofcourse IF your renders had backgrounds they'd be 10x better
but for exmaple, taco one seems so bald cuz IF it was "a taco inside a burrow" it would be awesome, but again u need it transparent

and then you got something like carno + galli that doesnt really show the personality of the dino

cerato is cannibalistic > i can see that in the render
stego is an agressive herbivore, which is pretty obvious from the raised tail pose

deino one doesnt really show deino's personality lets say, but you did a smart thing, deino cant really have its personality without environment so you went with another thing, making it interesting by some cute kiddos

so carno for example could've been ramming or speeding around
galli could've been running like the flok in U6.5 trailer (ofc wont need a background)

[drowsy coral]

Either, if there are some you actively dislike I’d like to know why but it’s mostly the latter

[opaque saddle]

hypsi is same case, theres no nest nor climbing nor a tree, but its cute so it gets a pass
id say my least favorite is compy/ptero, they really have nothing to show tbh, they just.. scream at each other?

[drowsy coral]

With Compy and Ptero the idea was to have them squabbling, such as over a carcass, but I see what you mean

[opaque saddle]

id suggest having them bully a dinosaur? bully a carno maybe (as a reference for rugops in concept-art) or compies/both of them eating a gored rotten body, they might be fighting on the body which THEN makes this fight scene have context and depth

[opaque saddle]

woulve been cool if it really included a carcass

[drowsy coral]

Yeah it’s tough to include that sort of context given the restriction of no backround for the sake of transparency

[opaque saddle]

but how is that a problem?

[drowsy coral]

Cause it prevents stuff like Taco in a burrow, for example

Or Hypsis hanging about in the branches of a tree

[opaque saddle]

taco in a burrow is a whole "background"
but a carass that ptero and compy stand on, isnt much?

[drowsy coral]

Depends on the size and the framing of it, since I’d want the focus still on the scavangers rather than the corpse itself

That’s why I didn’t go with a harassment render for the Pterodactylus too

[opaque saddle]

not tryna force my opinion but i do think a carcass is a part of scavengers' character

[drowsy coral]

Nah I def get that, I moreso meant that if it was a larger carcass it might be difficult to see the Compys or Pteros lol

[opaque saddle]

but if u do want to, they can a bit more complex/intersting fight rather than that there
i assume u didnt really care much cuz its just AI so no one would care, and ur right, not sure about u tho

[opaque saddle]

oh

u can always try using legacy gore? the gore carcass

[drowsy coral]

That was kinda the vibe I was trying to get with Gallimimus, where they’re on the move but not fully sprinting

[drowsy coral]

Could do, though if possible I’d like to stick to just Evrima assets

I could use a meat chunk potentially

[opaque saddle]

oh yeah i noticed that, it was great but im just saying it as a note, could've been better

also im yapping a lot i dont really HATE it, im just being picky just to talk abt details 😅

[opaque saddle]

understandable

[opaque saddle]

so dont get me wrong i love all ur work !

[drowsy coral]

Been better like the angles, or like they should look like they’re putting more effort into it?

The idea was the adults are lazily trotting

[rare depot]

the roughness on the cerato looks kinda off

[opaque saddle]

no no, i meant be more focused on the niche u was tryna show, so instead of walking they'd be running maybe

[opaque saddle]

both roughness and normals
@drowsy coral are you sure you use a RGB curve after the normal texture?

[rare depot]

I think the normals aren't flipped yeah

[drowsy coral]

Sadly that’s just the textures, Cerato has the same setup as every other animal I’ve done

[opaque saddle]

actually now that i notice

[rare depot]

are you making full use of the RAC map?

[opaque saddle]

idk i dont wanna make u feel like re-doing them all 😭 its not obvious at all
||but all the dinos really have a slight difference in their texture than the game||

are you using the AO, specular and roughness of them? bump too?

[drowsy coral]

Oh I’ll be redoing that anyway

Cause I am missing a texture but it barely makes a difference

[rare depot]

I'm still not sure how they do the texture variation in game

[drowsy coral]

One sec I’ll share my node setup

[opaque saddle]

im sure i can do it but i really always forgot its existance XDD

[rare depot]

you wanna make sure you use the blue channel of the RAC though when using custom colouring since it changes values

[drowsy coral]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1375245064896249926/1375488758501081259/image.png?ex=6831df3b&is=68308dbb&hm=a22f079db20b94afd2fa7f3221a4df6ede6754eac5d7aeb3ceee623501f64e66&

[opaque saddle]

wait what?

[drowsy coral]

Today I learned: this

[rare depot]

yeah let me find my node set up for legacy, a lot of the base principles are the same between evrima and legacy

[opaque saddle]

ill show my node setup but be prepared 💀 its all exposed lol

[drowsy coral]

I have no experience with RAC maps and there was no documentation so all of this is my jank attempt to reverse engineer it

[opaque saddle]

RAAAH

[drowsy coral]

I have it as a non-color texture rn

[rare depot]

yeah the lack of documentation is a pain but I wouldn't expect them to release it lol

I do a lot of material work and reverse engineering for other projects

[opaque saddle]

R-Roughness (well roughness)
A-Albedo (AO)
C-Cavity (Bumb)

[drowsy coral]

Yeah I worked that part out

[opaque saddle]

god i love reverse engineering stuff 😂 especially the isle

[drowsy coral]

What I didn’t work out was how to “make full use of it” so it is being used as the roughness and that’s it rn

[rare depot]

nah cavity is AO, albedo is what's multiplied over the custom colouring to give it variation

[drowsy coral]

… where are the image texture inputs

[opaque saddle]

this is inside a mega-nodegroup

[rare depot]

mine is simpler than I remember

so glad they introduced bool functions for nodegroups in one of the recent updates

[opaque saddle]

oh my bad yeah cavity is AO, i just use Albedo one sometimes cuz its less dak
for example u can see rex in skin creator looking al dark and wierd cuz it uses Cavity map

[opaque saddle]

its so awesome

[rare depot]

so yeah multiply albedo (blue channel of RAC) over your input pattern colours and then multiply the AO (green channel of RAC) over all of the colour inputs at the end right before plugging it into the BSDF

[opaque saddle]

oh yeah guys since we're talking about blender materials rn
i've been suffering an issue for few months rn and i have no idea what cuases it, its oddly specific

[rare depot]

what's the issue?

[drowsy coral]

My brain hurts looking at those nodegroups lol

[limber bough]

https://tenor.com/view/tom-delonge-blink182-wtf-meme-what-the-heck-first-date-gif-25383351

[drowsy coral]

Here I thought I had it more or less together

[rare depot]

yeah it's the work of a few months and attempts lol

[drowsy coral]

This is the part where I reveal I’ve been working on this for about a year now lmao

I’ll have to compare notes

[rare depot]

you should see what a good JWE2 shader looks like (16 layers and the mod tools split the textures strange)

[drowsy coral]

Or nodes, as it were

[rare depot]

I gave up

[drowsy coral]

Yeah I can imagine, I had to work with a 12 layer pattern once and it was a nightmare

Would yall mind making a group dm to discuss node setups later?

[opaque saddle]

so, i have a scene with the whole roaster as a library for them, just so i can link from it when i use one of them

the problem is, since a specific day i dont remember few months ago, touching any Eye material crashes blender instantly
doesnt matter what view, doesnt matter what engine
but it ONLY happens if the shader editor is opened

[drowsy coral]

That’s… huh

[rare depot]

without/with albedo channel used

[rare depot]

that's really strange

[opaque saddle]

and fyi
this is the 2nd library i make
the first one had the same issue so i gave up it and restarted

i also realized what causes this (maybe 1 reason of many) is;
if u crash while having that material open for WHATEVER reason (rendered too much or loaded too much etc etc) this issue happens

[rare depot]
