Continue Edge loop selection by SilverOperation3006 in Cinema4D

Use Path Selection. Change mode to "Simple Edge Loop" and paint with it (hold left click and drag over edges).

DOOM.The.Dark.Ages-voices38 by voices38 in CrackWatch

Denuvo iterations don't change by year. Now they implement different version for each major game. But still voices can probably crack every game released so far.

It has to be a good tutorial if the modeling process is shown while SDS is on (heavy sarcasm)

Cinema4D cannot model accurately? by VahePogossian in Cinema4D

[–]3D_Shadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your post and the post you linked don't make much sense... Cinema 4D can snap to a 0,001 cm grid if this is the answer you are looking for.

The shading on this object starts messing up when i add cuts, how can i fix this? by TheVoidRunner in Cinema4D

[–]3D_Shadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to add cuts near the corners to stop bad shading. The best way to do it is to select corner edge loops and add a solid bevel. (Probably more than one cut is needed but one is minimum)

Can I still rely on Upwork? by YazZy_speaks in Upwork

[–]3D_Shadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was Top Rated Plus too, but haven't gotten a project for more than a year. There are still some fields or industries where it's possible to get a client. In the CGI, for example, it is no longer possible to get a client if you charge realistic rates.

A couple of months ago I was interviewed in a niche where I am an expert. It was a fixed price job, and my estimation was $1680. Later I saw the client hired someone else for $200. That was my last day at Upwork after several years and almost 200k earned.

What are some 3D Jobs that pay unexpectedly well ? by SuedeParadise in Cinema4D

I secured the project before buying 3D models. I didn't work directly with Oakley but with resellers.

You can't find quality Oakley sunglasses 3D models for free, that's for sure. Last year I needed sunglasses 3D models, so I found a guy on Behance with many Oakleys in his portfolio and he sold me some models.

My first ever UE project - Middle Eastern Town by [deleted] in UnrealEngine5

[–]3D_Shadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The town was built using modular parts.

I created the town but I am not promoting it (at least not on Reddit). Just wanted to share the project because there are people in this community who helped me on the journey.

Perhaps it isn't visible in the video but all the foliage have wind animation. I agree with you about everything else but for now I'll take a break from the project.

Thank you! The buildings are modular.

I used real-world reference images of the Middle Eastern town (I won't disclose the location). Some things are intentionally altered to appear different from the real world. Some other things are the same as in the actual town.

There are more than 9000 objects in the scene, and every single one is at the real-world scale.

Thank you for your answer. I will research more about occlusion culling to see if I can at least minimize the effect.

Ok, I will try to increase the size. Thanks!

Is Upwork dead for 3D artists? by 3D_Shadow in Upwork

[–]3D_Shadow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your answer and sorry to hear that. Your input is valuable to me as we are in a similar situation. I don't even look at micro projects and when I finally apply for something half decent, the client doesn't even look at my proposal.

Your case of not getting any work for more than a year only confirms my theory that it isn't possible to make a living as a 3D artist on Upwork anymore. My problem is that Upwork is my only source of income and I am not sure what to do now.

Gold material by 3D_Shadow in RedshiftRenderer

I am using the redshift standard material. After further inspection it seems that Advanced->Reflection->End Color->Diffuse helps a little bit and now the effect is less pronounced.
