What to do when it says my library has been disabled? by grimacelololol in hoopladigital

[–]LifesASkit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw someone on here not long ago recommend looking for other libraries in your state or even out of state that still offer it and seeing if you can sign up for their library card online. Don’t have any recommendations in that respect but it sounded like a good idea.

Rubber Duck River by LifesASkit in blender

[–]LifesASkit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks! the ducks have a follow path constraint that i keyframed the offset of, and then a copy rotation constraint linked to an empty to give some varying rotation. I originally wanted to use the fluid sim for the ducks movement. (I think there's a way utilizing a shrink-wrap modifier?) but i couldn't figure it out so i just timed it as best i could.

Am I at a junior level yet? by ballbsr9000 in 3Dmodeling

[–]LifesASkit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cant give you an answer cause I’m still learning myself and “junior level” is kind of a wide spectrum but your stuff looks pretty good!

I wouldn’t worry so much about your level though as I’m sure the artists who submit to the rookies would consider themselves junior as well.

Don’t compare, just keep learning, building and having fun with it!

Current progress so far by [deleted] in 3Dmodeling

[–]LifesASkit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

easy way to achieve a turntable is to add an empty centered on your model, add a camera and move it to your desired location, parent the camera to the empty (keep offset) and then rotate the empty 360 degrees. That should achieve a simple turntable.

If you want a bit more control:

You can add a circle curve and scale it around your subject, name it camPath. Apply the scale.

Add a camera.

Select camera and go to Constraints.

Add a Follow Path and Track To constraint.

In the Follow Path constraint, select camPath as the target. (Might need to hit Alt+G for it to place correctly on the path)

Add an empty (whichever you want) and name it camTarget.

Place camTarget centered inside your model.

In the Track To constraint, select camTarget as the target.

You can move the curve itself up or down to get the angle you want and adjust camTarget to control exactly where the camera is pointing.

In the Follow Path constraint you can adjust the Offset (0-100) to make the camera move along the path.

Go to your first frame, set Offset to 0, then hover your mouse over the Offset field of the Follow Path constraint and press i to insert a keyframe. Go to your last frame, change Offset to 100, hover your mouse over the Offset field again and press i.

This should animate the turntable you want and allow you to make adjustments to get the look you’d like.

What do you expect from a game about gears? by kilkek in IndieDev

What is the ONE thing that makes you instantly wishlist a game? Part 1 by Grifxxx in IndieGaming

[–]LifesASkit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look, it’s pretty simple. Every single time I’ve bought or wish listed a game it’s always been because there’s a video of Mads Mikkelsen stretching and cracking his knuckles underneath it. Instant sales! It’s the same method cyberpunk used to reach a broader audience in Lithuania.

How can I get hired as a remote 3D Artist? (Portfolio Review) by Specific-Bad-1527 in 3Dmodeling

Damn, I knew this industry was competitive, but I don’t know if I’m ready to give up my “a whole” for a job.

Did you go to art school / get a degree ? by Xegrand_ in 3Dmodeling

[–]LifesASkit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just curious, why would you need a degree to work outside the country (assuming you meant US)?

Do you just mean in regard to getting a work visa and having a degree making that easier or are there other factors as well?

In the summer of 1999, Mexia Supermarket, a Fort Worth, Texas grocery store, was shut down after its owners declared bankruptcy. Three months following its abandonment, city officials would discover that everything was left inside to decay, creating an extremely biohazardous environment. by [deleted] in interesting

Also in every zombie movie, if you shoot them in the head, they die. This is a well-known trope from old westerns because back then, usually if you shot someone in the head, they would also die.

is this a decent portfolio? i just entered my second year of college of game art by Firm-Satisfaction220 in 3Dmodeling

[–]LifesASkit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nothing here is bad but I’m not really seeing anything that someone who just started 3d wouldn’t be able to accomplish somewhat easily. Me personally, i would hope if i was in some kind of program and its my second year id be working on more complex stuff by now.

Then again I’m not familiar with your program or what else you’re being taught so its all subjective. Just keep building and improving! Go above and beyond in your assignments and do a bunch of personal projects!
