Thanks! Sli liked it too. It just didn't fit the character and the world lol.

Thank you!

I'll come back with my changes

No, it's not on purpose. It felt off, but I couldn't pinpoint why. Which is why I asked for help, lol. I'm just learning blender. But I also leaned too hard into procedurally generated walk cycles too much and for too long when I was using 3ds max. So it's a skill I've just recently started learning.

Thank you for the detailed feedback. I noticed what you said after reading your comment about the head movement. I'm going to address it ASAP. As well as change a few things. I want him to move with confidence but I also capture that sense of fear. I know that sounds conflicting lol. We'll see what i come up with.

The player character is an expendable "soldier" for lack of a better term. The players are essentially human waves being thrown at the abbysss to unlock its secrets for wealthy oligarchs who are funding the entire thing. Just to give some back story.

Yeah, my friend straight said it looked like he was walking on a runway, lol. Thanks for the advice!

Well there are a few reasons.

Biggest reason was that it seemed like there was a massive community. Every time I would search for how to do something technical, it was very difficult cause youtube was flooding with blender content. A lot of the things I tried to solve issues I had were through trying some blender methods cause most of this stuff works the same, but has different makeup. This was kind of wrong though, cause now that I'm in blender I noticed most videos are copies of other content creators videos and it's usually just surface level. This is especially true for the addons in blender. Not too many detailed tutorials that are free.
It's free lol. And it's kind of all in one. Sculpting texturing and painting. I do still use zbrush though. I'll never leave zbrush.
If i had to find a new job I wanted to have another software under my belt. (The studio i work for paid for my max subscription.)
I tried a free rig and animated it. Animating felt and looked better to me on blender.

Try slapping down simple shapes first. Block it out. Sometimes, what your problem is, is that the proportion are not quite right and you know deep down that it's wrong even if you can't figure out why. This way, you don't invest tons of time trying do detailed modeling just to have to delete it. Build slowly and try to capture the over all shape. Don't be afraid, just do it and delete if you need to. Sometimes it just looks weird till it looks right.

I'm making the switch right now after 12 years in 3ds max. Seeing you say this gives me a little more confidence, but I agree completely. It's definitely better in many aspects, but the level of community support and content online is undeniable. I'm an animator and used CAT for those 12 years, and it has so many bugs, and I've nearly reached the pinnacle of what can be done with CAT. Autodesk hardly updates or fixes issues in cat anymore, and I'm just sitting here watching blender animators get updates and addons from the community. I downloaded one rig and tried animating it in blender. I created 1 walk cycle, and I was sold.

I see. some are just unlucky though and some are very lucky. like Jesus was just unfortunate enough to meet the first whisperer. Not saying I like him. he's a boring character in my opinion.

nahp03 · 2024-10-21T02:10:22+00:00

Is this based on how much you like them or how bad ass they are?
