there is another important rule which is unified quads
all quads need to be in equal distance from each other. the easiest way to do this is to create edge loops up and across the model.
it takes time.

unified quads are entirely pointless if you're displaying / rendering the mesh using a subdiv proxy.

Ngons are okay on flat surfaces. It may seem sloppy, but it's a lot faster to just have ngons on flat surfaces, and when you're on deadline, it makes a difference.

its not pointless. if you smooth a face that is too thin or small it might result in a shading errors (dark spots). and then you have to deal with custom shading and you don't want that

This is absolute BS and a waste of your time.

Outside of highly advanced technical stuff, there are two main uses to topo. One is ensuring your high-poly smooths properly. The other is providing a quad-only low-poly mesh for clean *deformation* during animation.

Ngons and tris really only cause smoothing issues when they're near surface edges and corners. As long as they're on a flat plane, you can use them as much as you want (and it's way more efficient than turning your mesh into a puzzle just so you can ensure every single edge loops creates perfect quads everywhere).

As for quads (for animation), you aren't gonna deform a gun, so no. Unless you're making a character (or something deformable like cloth) you don't need to worry about topo in your low poly. If you split your smoothing groups / vertex normals by UV shells and UV intelligently it does not matter what your topo is like once your normal map comes on.

The way it is now is the most detailed it'll ever be anyway, probably.

I'll definitely keep what you have here in mind, Thanks anon.

Next step for me is to make sense of blender's UV system. I haven't been able to make a cohesive map at all.

Let's be honest here, how hard is it to produce stuff like this when you use photogrammetry?

Hold back your admiration, it ain't quite finished, couple parts from older iterations would need to be remade. Not really planning to continue, though. A model that complex is a dead end.

Let's say I want to sculpt some edge wear on walls in zbrush. I get my normal map. Then I go to Substance painter to texture it and get another normal from there. How can I combine them so they both work at 100? I don't quite understand the process here.

>>574177
you must input 1 st normal in substance with your model, then workon with it in substance, substance will add details on existing one, when you take map from substance and it'll be combined one.

well I mean that's what making it skinny makes it look like.

It's mostly so that she'll fit into the clothes I'm making so I'm over doing it with the topology but I felt the need to do this for good practice.

I'm trying to recreate a P.T. hallway in UE4 for practice. I'm learning as I go since I've never done interiors, and I feel like I hit a point where I need some feedback. So, absolutely annihilate me with constructive critique.

At first I was satisfied with it, but as I learn more, now I think it fucking sucks again (which is good). I think it still lacks the atmosphere but I'm not sure how to improve the lighting.

>>574260
Nah, just a character I went overboard with the tits on

>>574352
the thing is atmosphere is 180o from PT. this is too saturated and light, and too shiny. I was going to say how awesome this is, but then I read that you are trying to imitate PT, this looks more like western-ish action adventure setting and tones and colours are kinda generic, I'm not saying that this is bad, but it's bad in being PT )

Are you using baked lighting? The lack of bounce from that super bright white lights makes me want to guess you're not.

Anyway, that light is too bright, but a big reason why your lighting is bad is because it doesn't seem to come from a believable source. We can't see what's emitting that white light, and its position (especially the spec highlights) indicate it's coming from a magically invisible source, right in the middle of your corridor. At least model a lamp for it, and place it somewhere realistic.

You might also wanna look at screens from PT and try to match the light colors and tone of post process. I don't remember seeing any orange lights in the game, and your main white light is too cold (blue). PT mostly plays on very subtle yellows and sickly greens. (You can add some of this in your post process, so I wouldn't recommend overdoing it with your lights, just steering it in the right direction and finding a good balance of actual light color and colorbalance/tint in your PP.)

Honestly the specular highlights you've got going on in the hallway aren't bad, you just gotta place these lights more intelligently (and bake lighting if you aren't already.)

Great, thanks for the feedback. The thing is, I think it depends on the reference image, I'm using multiple sources and pic related is the main one. That one is noticeably more shiny then the other ones I've seen, so I'm not sure if I should still reduce it (already done twice). I'd say it's a bit less shiny now then pic related, but more shiny then other references. I agree about saturation, I see it now. Will fix it.

To the other guys, I know, it's stupid not to have a light source, I already put a lamp there, but I uploaded that previous image because you can see the specularity on the walls better I guess. I'll post the one with the lamp after I make changes.

Okay, I'll tweak the light intensity and colors. There are some pure red lights in the game though, and some cold ones, but maybe not as blue as mine is. Btw yeah, I am using baked lighting, I mean I guess I am, the light source is stationary and I built the lighting.

>>574313

Just select them all and do center pivot. It should center the pivots for all objects selected.

Made some quick tweaks while I'm still here, I need to learn more about postprocess volume. Less saturation, lights are both around 6500 now, some yellows and greens added (needs more yellows I think). I actually am not sure why am I getting super sharp shadows where my attenuation radius of a point light stops, but if I change it a bit, the shadows get the nice gradient again, but then I have to build lighting again. I have to figure that out first.

I'll post hopefully a better version after I make more changes, but you gave me a good direction, thanks.

>>574374
Your setup for that lamp is fucked. It has a metal awning/cup yet is casting full light on the ceiling. How? A lamp like this wouldn't cast light on the ceiling, the ceiling would only receive light from the bounces. Either your light source isn't lined up with your bulb or you set the lamp to not cast shadows or something weird.

Secondly, directional light coming from an (unseen) side hallway: creepy. Light coming from the end of a dark hallway: also creepy. Both of them together: doesn't work, and just makes things confusing by having two competing lighting focal points. I'd keep the side hallway dark, in your reference it looks much more intimidating that way.

Lastly you gotta up your SSR settings, that can in the middle of the floor isn't occluding any specular (and thus looks like it's floating). And just to make sure, did you place a reflection capture?

>>574374
I'm the first guy )))
now this looks like a mess... tone down post process, this fog sucks... and tone down lights overall, make it 50% less bright and then make it gradually brighter.
I'd reccomend to stop for a while, )) do something else for couple of hours and then look at it.

You know, it feels so good everytime you realize how shitty your previous reiteration (of any kind of creative project) was. Maybe this one is shitty too, but I think I'm coming closer.

Yeah, the fog in the previous image was stupidly strong, and even though I still kinda like the looks of the first render I posted, now I can't believe how I was ever thinking that lighting was similar to P.T. Way too bright, only now do I really see it when I compare it to pic related.

That being said, there's probably more stuff you guys will find bad, and I also feel it could still be improved a lot. I don't know if the shadow falloff is too strong, but then again, the angle is different and you can see more wall. I'm sure it lacks a bit of blue tones, so I'll add that later. I changed a color of the walls to be closer to the game, so now I naturally get some more yellow hue in there.

And yeah, I completely agree about double lights, it's pretty obvious actually. Not only does it completely destroys the "creepy" factor, but the image loses focus. I was playing with some flickering lights in that hallway, so that could also be cool, but I would have to remove the main light (actually, I tried that before and it felt even creepier, because you have that long, pitch black hall and you can't tell how long it really is and where it leads).

Make me cry.

Btw, that fucking can still looks like it is floating, neither of them actually cast any shadows. I have no idea why, and I already asked that question in another thread before. Didn't find a solution anywhere, but it just magically started working again after disabling and reenabling lights.

>>574519
You made your own base mesh and rigged it. You make your own clothing. Why do you even bother with DAZ? In any other software you'd just make a low poly proxy mesh, skin to the rig, cloth sim, then wrap the high poly cloth to the proxy. There's nothing complicated, prevents most issues you get with normal cloth sim, and is way faster.
Also make a new base mesh already.

One more update, I think I reached a point where I'm getting increasingly diminishing returns. I have a ton of renders with tiny tweaks now, it would be wiser to set it aside for a bit and instead go back to modeling some more assets.

Reduced lighting intensity and tweaked textures. I agree about bumps and overall reflectivity, but I miss that interest they brought to the image, even though it doesn't look as bland as in P.T. I also increased lighting quality, didn't even know it was set on "preview", lol.

Years ago I used to have a very popular webcomic. It started as something I did for fun but as the popularity grew drawing the comic started to feel more like something I did out of a sense of obligation than something I did because I enjoyed it. Fast forward 5 years and the strain of undiagnosed OCD and the pressures of dealing with the comic culminated in a mental breakdown and after I got out of the hospital I just couldn't deal with returning to the comic.

But I still had creative desires that needed to be fulfilled. I had downloaded Daz Studio because it was recommended to me as superior replacement for those wooden artist dolls. As I learned to use the software to create reference images for 2D illustration I discovered that I also loved modelling, especially modelling clothing. It's a very mindful task and compliments the dialectic behaviour therapy I was taking to help me cope with my OCD.

I started first making clothes for the Genesis figure but truth be told I'm not really that keen on realistic figures. I like very toony, chibi figures more, but I didn't like the figures in that style that were available so I made one more the way I wanted it to be. And now I'm building a library of clothes for that figure and I give them all away on ShareCG.

There are only around 1000 people who have downloaded the figure and probably less than 300 that actually use it. But I like that. I just like living a nice quiet online life now making cute outfits for an obscure chibi waifu. I like that I can make these things and put them out there and other people can then use them to express their own creativity.

It's a very stress free way for me to engage creatively with the internet without having to worry about it beginning to feel like an obligation and without my neurosis making me feel like I'm weighed down with a burden of responsibility.

I'm making material for a very niche market and the people who enjoy what I make are a small but sincere group.

>>574658

In short, making clothes for my Chibi waifu in Daz Studio keeps me sane. It doesn't matter that I don't do anything with them other than give them away, it's the labour of creating them itself that I find rewarding.

>>574658
Man... I love your story. keep up doing what fulfills you!!

Even in cases where color banding can be used to look "old school", I believe the patterns it creates look plain ugly on your windows. The side of the car isn't as much of a problem but I would try to get rid of it.

I don't understand why you bothered to add a polycount to your high poly, like, what.

>>574837
Using rigify is fine. I like my script a lot but it is still essentially aping rigify only with less functionalities, and half the reason I did it was to understand things I didn't get about rigify. The other half is that while rigify probably had most of the controls I need its documentation is sparse at best especially when it comes to fitting it to nonhuman skeletons, so I wanted one where I know how everything will behave.

The third half (yeah) is that I wanted to level up my scripting and the ass-backwards way Blender handles bones at the script level is the perfect environment for that.

I definitely agree with you on the windows.
Also with the polycount, it's not so much that I bothered to include it, I just didn't bother to remove it. The original is a screenshot from Max with the polycount already included.
I then made some photoshop changes for fun really, and I guess in turn I learned about color banding.

>>574871
It's called mesh smoothing/turbosmooth you massive retard. He probably just multipled it by 3x so that's why there's so many polys.

>>574881

>>574853
Yeah, it is. Any giveaways? (Besides the height on some of the rust/black paint transitions.) I'm trying to move away from the "Substance" look of procedural generators and soft textures.

> tfw an animator has to rig his own character

End my suffering please.

There's got to be a simpler way to do this. Not like a complete auto-rig like human IK, which is pretty useless, but something in between that and doing it 100% manually. Like auto-components, such as spine, leg, foot, arm, hand, all that.

For example, you will want to create a spine with a certain amount of result joints, FK/IK hybrid joints and squash and stretch capabilities for every single rig, so setting this up with the right connections and calculations in the node editor for each new rig feels like such a waste of time.

>>575019
You'll eventually get fed up with it enough that you'll learn to script that process.

>>575019
Try RapidRig, AdvancedSkeleton, etc. or similar

Doing it without any scripts at all is an utter waste of time

Hello, I need to recreate a real life building into a digital model for a course. The recommended software by my school is 3DSMax .

If your school is recommending Max, I assume they also provide it for free. In that case you should use it.

That looks like way too many backbones. You can in most cases get by with 3. Two in the abdomen and one in the chest.

Just like when I stab people.

>>575140

It has 3 FK joints that influence the 8 result joints. When using the auto-rig in Cinema 4D (which was pretty good for an auto-rig, but couldn't be exported out of Cinema 4D) that did have just 3 or 4 joints, but I would get either visible sharp bends on the character's torso, or smooth out the weight painting and have the character's volume shrink significantly when bending the spine. So that's why I'm going with more result joints.

Been working on this on and off for the last few days. Not sure if I care to finish it anymore knowing that I won't be able to rig it myself. Probably gonna slap on some warning labels and logos and be done with it. Possibly gonna use this to try and learn Substance Painter or something for texturing. I have so many models that have little to no real texturing done.

Started out based on a mix of Chappie and the Specters from Titanfall, but the more I went on, the more I gravitated to Chappie.

Pretty much everything about this is unappealing. the overall shape/form, the scale of details, i.e pipes seem too large, tread seems too small, LED 'face' looks too low res.
Materials look too fake/badCG/generic plastic. Lighting is boring. It also looks functionally useless and unstable/top heavy.

>>575374
>tread seems too small
What treads?

>>573845
I saw this a year ago in a WIP thread. Wht have you added since then?

>>575374
I think if you looks at this as the upper torso and head of a much larger robot/mech thing it makes a lot more sense but that dose not change many or your points.

>>575363
I personally don't think it looks as bad as >>575374 makes it out to be. You definitely have some good foundations in modeling, presentation, design.

It's not a mess, but it's not standing out in any aspect either, and that's what really prevents it from being successful.

Fundamental design is okay-ish, doesn't seem completely wrong, but it doesn't communicate function either. Is this a hover bot? Show that it's flying. Give it bigger, clearer thrusters, air intakes, etc. We can hardly tell its method of locomotion right now. If it's gonna have something that looks like a face, give it an actual face. Don't put a tiny-ass fan as a "mouth", either put something that can actually serve as a mouth or nothing at all. Be careful about having details for the sake of detail - these details should be there, but they should evoke function. A prime example of where you fail at this is in the L-shaped panels. Why are they L-shaped? There's no special shape on or under the chassis they need to conform to, they might as well be square which would be easier to manufacture and actually make sense. There's a random square hole (the asymmetrical one in the center of the body above the white square) - what is its function? Is it an intake, a place where something gets plugged? It would be a great opportunity to add a label there (and in general a couple labels or markings since you're going for an utilitarian, industrial aesthetic). All your parts and details don't need to have an intricately deep and planned out purpose to them, but at least make them *look* like they're there for a reason. Look at real life reference for this.

(cont.)

>>575387


The only material I can really read from this is a semi-matte plastic (and the glass on the eye-screen). It could be your lighting, environment reflections, and is definitely related to your spec and gloss values, but it looks like everything is made out of one material which is rather boring. Right now, the only thing you have is color variation. Either search for more reference, or find some cool *photorealistic* scifi designs with good material definition and decide what your other materials should be. Variance is key - when doing clean, untextured renders like this, you want to have a good range of materials so we can situate them in relation to each other and actually understand what they're all meant to represent. Lighting is also key to these renders. Look at Vitaly Bulgarov for examples of both, and especially how he presents his stuff. If you're looking for a cleaner, less dramatic presentation (similar to what you have here) some of the Weta concepts might be a good avenue to explore (they often tend to have clean stuff on light backgrounds).

Lastly, for the things that are good, your use of tertiary colors works well, and that asymmetrical red ear/antenna (repeated by a couple red wires elsewhere) is probably the strongest element the piece has going.

It's supposed to be the upper portion of a robot. Similar to Chappie. The cylinders sticking out from under the angled plates on the sides are supposed to be joints for the arms. I am still missing the lower mid section of the torso, the arms and legs.

I spent the last 9 hours doing this in MS paint to badly show what I am trying to do here.

The "LED" eyes are low res on purpose.
I know the materials look fake, im concentrating on the model it self right now. That is exactly why I said I would maybe use this to later learn Substance Painter.
Lighting; same thing, this is unfinished. Im not gonna set up a beautiful scene for a WIP model.

>>575387
Thank you for this input.

It's an unfinished human like robot. Similar to Chappie.
The fan isn't really supposed to look like a mouth, but I can totally see how it looks that way and understand how this can be an issue design wise. Thank you for pointing this out.

That off center hole is supposed to be for a plug, yes. I off centered it to put a label there once I start adding labels just as you suggested.

As for the rest, thank you. I actually agree that it can be better and that the design is somewhat boring, but I honestly don't know what else to do without going full blown Chappie replica.

>since you're going for an utilitarian, industrial aesthetic

I am glad that I am at least getting this idea across successfully!

>>575388
Thanks for the additional critique

Back on materials, I know they are far from good and I intend to fix them once I am either tired of modeling this and stop or I actually finish modeling it. Materials, textures, and lighting in that order come once I stop creating all the shapes. If I even manage to work on textures. I am complete ass with textures and need far more practice. Either way, thank you for the info on references. Much appreciated.

Probably should have been more upfront on what this is a part of and that it's still VERY unfinished.

I like the exposed PC part vibe I get from the fans. You might try taking that further. Also to the same end if you want to distance it from Chappie a bit you might want to look at what I am guessing Chappie's design reference was, Boston Dynamics robots and similar.

I am sure most people have seen this but since I am mentioning them Boston Dynamics latest robot is essentially one terrifying half of a tachikoma.

Rigging the cockpit was fun, drivers in blender are insanely flexible.

The flight control stick is also needs tweaking. It counter rotates with the cockpit as it should, but it doesn't auto-center after the maneuver. I'm open to ideas.

Finally all done. This was the last of the Gerudo inspired outfits I made with the Marvelous Designer trial. The hair I made in 3D-coat.

Let's say I'm building a portfolio (for 3D generalist). I'm a beginner and not doing it yet, but asking for the future.

If I use premade textures I downloaded from somewhere, like Megascans e.g., is that a bad thing for a portofolio? Am I supposed to do everything from scratch? What about plugins like Speedtree instead of modelling/sculpting trees all by myself?

>>575772
people care about results, you can literally render a demo scene from evermotion and show it to people, and they are retarded enough to believe you have such skills.

>>575774
>they are retarded enough to believe you have such skills
I'm talking about potential companies looking for somebody to hire, not normies who know nothing about 3D.

>>575772
Depends on the context. Usually in a reel or portfolio you would make clear what you were responsible for so these issues didnt come up. If you made a game and it had some assets like shit from speedtree, no one cares. But if your portfolio has a plain picture of a tree in it then yeah that's disingenuous. Generally if you're using assets and their presence doesn't take away from the skill you're trying showcase, it's fine. But if you're showing off modeling and you use premade models, or you are showing off texturing but use premade textures yeah that's an issue. If you made most of the elements from a scene, or sufficiently altered textures that it doesnt look copy/pasted, it's fine.

>>575776
Ok, thanks. I do tweak textures, but for now I do mostly use premade ones, as well as those that came in Substance Painter. And e.g. for an environment artist, is modelling trees from scratch a must, or is a knowledge of SpeedTree also useful? Yeah, it's a lot easier, but you still have a lot of control over it, and I've seen game studios using it for some AAA games. I don't know if I'm shooting myself in the foot for not learning how to model them from 0.

I've made a few minor tweaks to the shape of the lips and the lateral position of the mouse. My last critic said that the tweak completely fixed it, but i want diverse opinions. If it's creepy or off putting, why?

i like the design. Very original.

>>575772
it might not hurt you as long as it looks good, but if you made your own media it would only make you look better.

>>575687
I like this style. What kind of game are you making anon?

On a technical standpoint, this is bretty good m8, on a design aspect, I have a few (personal) issues with it. First thing that stood out to me was the gun, it's over designed. Nothing wrong with making a more simplistic cannon. Given the flat nature of the bottom, it should probably be more low to the ground, and the legs spread out a bit further. Doesn't look like they have much room to move. One thing I see from the concept art, is the vehicle feels very organic and fluid, I can visualize how it would move around and function. When I attempt to do the same with your vehicle, it becomes clunky. It's mainly the bottom half I have a problem with, the top looks fine for the most part.

Ok, fair enough.

Btw, what do you mean when you say I should make my own grass? I model a mesh with planes and put a tweaked texture on them. Is that considered "my own" grass? Like, I could either have to shoot some grass on my own or use some premade stuff anyway. If you mean that I should model the grass blades and bake them to a texture, then I tried that already, but that simply can't come even close to a photo source, so I don't see the point of it.

>>575835
Hey, thanks for the critique. I'm thinking of redesigning the entire bottom part (main chassis and legs) and the gun so your observations are a big help. Probably gonna drop it into photoshop and do a draw over

Not a game, I'm making a first person dogfight animation.

I agree that freestyle did make everything look nice, but it also increased render times by tenfold, most likely to the large number of small objects in the scene. In the end, I'll most likely just do a viewport render and call it a day

>>575844
would be awesome if you leave the graphics like that

>>575844
that would make a great screensaver

oh and what do you mean by freestyle?

>>575732
Why would you pick such a horrifically unappealing angle for the face? The shader looking awful doesn't help matters much.

Freestyle is how those 'cartoony' black outlines are referred to in Blender. Rendering those can take some time, as the renderer has to find every edge in the frame, calculate its visibility and then render the outline (or at least that's how I assume it works). My scene is cluttered and not at all optimized for freestyle, so that process takes forever: 4 seconds for the frame and then 50s for the outlines.

The viewport renders however are quite nice, with the advantage of giving me instant feedback on how the scene will look. Only issue now is that the 'sun' lamp doesn't cast viewport shadows across the whole scene, only a small section of it. They're also quite blocky. I'd love to have that fixed by the time it's all ready to render. I'm open to suggestions.

>>575845
I'll probably animate the sky texture and main light source so that it gets darker overtime.

>>575862
Ah, I see. Maybe you could get away with faking that effect in post? Using edge detection? Won't look as good and you won't have as much control but it'll render a lot faster. Or you could render it in frame batches over several days then composite it in a video editing program.

start adding color, hope you like

>>575836
hey it's your portfolio so you get to do whatever you want. I know, and I know you know, that having that much freedom and control can be overwhelming.

If you use premade textures on grass planes then it'll probably look great, and if the grass is just window dressing to make the actual peice you're showing look better than it's not a big deal to do that. But if you make your own grass (however you want to) you get to add "oh btw the grass is all original too)

the difference is now you're being judged by the grass where as before it wouldn't have mattered. So if you make your own it has to look awesome. Otherwise you're hurting yourself.
Here's some advice: go down load some premade grass. The best grass you can find. Deconstruct it and just rip it off. If they use plains then make your own planes. If they use a processed photograph as their texture, go shoot your own grass and copy their processing. Dont invest weeks into this part, but dont half ass it either. If at the end of it your grass looks like shit, then use the premade grass. If it looks good then use your own grass and brag about it.

yeah making cel shaded work in sketchfab is a pain in the ass, you have to bake the result in the textures everytime, that's why im making executables in blender, so people can see them directly in BGE

Look for the Rafael grassetti zbrush anatomy tutorials he goes a bit fast but they're great.
I'm still learning anatomy myself but what I can tell you is that your deltoids are too small and that the latissimus dorsi bulges out a bit more and you should be able to see that from the front wrapping around the serratus.

Working on a retro gym jumper.

Just to let you know how old I am, when I was in elementary school this style of jumper was mandatory for girls in gym class. When it was gymnastics days the early bloomer girls would always have to be extra careful because sudden movements would cause the poor quality snaps to fly apart and they'd end up flashing the class. They were phased out in 1980 for T-shirts and shorts like the boys wore.

When you were in grade 7 and 8 and you saw the gym teacher had set out the trampoline you knew it was going to be a good day.

You can just add some cell shading, I don't think freestyle was a feature ment for animation.

Any tutorials for how to create something like this in Maya? I'm garbage at hard surface and don't know the workflow for substance texturing.

texturing is the same regardless of what program you use

this is somewhat a counter-intuitive insight due to technical differences between softwares, but otherwise absolutely true

>>576258
Chamferzone has a grenade tutorial for Max, the only real difference between that and Maya is gonna be UI and hotkeys, but the tools you're using are basically the same. (I think quad chamfer high poly workflow might be Max-specific, but I'm sure there's a Maya plugin equivalent if you google "quad chamfer HP maya equivalent". Otherwise just grab the newest Maya hardsurface tutorials from pluralsight or your tutorial website of choice, I dunno.

I'm using Modo with rounded edge which is a different workflow (Tor Frick has some videos on youtube that show it).

>>576262
By the way, it took me forever to learn this, but I fully agree. I used to abuse SP generators and presets, now my workflow moved to using a lot of stamps, alphas, and mixing in some photo textures, and it's basically like Photoshop with some added pros of SP (and cons of the PS features it's missing).

>>576266
Same here m8. In a way, it's kinda reassuring to know that when you grasped how to texture, you can achieve it in pretty much any way.

Not that much a fan of SP though due to the retarded layer management and PS missing features you mentioned, especially regarding quick selections and masking. I get the appeal, but I'd almost prefer a workflow with good ol' PS, plus Substance Designer which is a lot reminiscent of slate/node shading and quick as hell to get amazing tileable stuff.

>>576266
I just use photoshop desu. never felt the need to try surface painter

>>576267
Photoshop/Quixel is probably better for single, superdetailed assets. SP is amazing for game development, though, because you can create presets, substances, smart materials, then just slap them on an object and get get 50% of your work done that way. Also great because you can share them with your team.

Since this is the only active thread

In Blender when I weight paint a certain vertex group on a model do restriction caused by the painting apply in Edit Mode or am I free to move the specified vertex group as I please?

Thinking about more fucking around with substance designer.
What should I make?

do a procedual pizza with different types of coverings
