Art Help & Critique Rigging the wheel.

First time rigging.

Rigged the suspension with a tutorial and few extra days to figure out how to rig the extra parts.
Then came to the expanding wheels and couldn't find anything to help me rig. Tried using ChatGPT and figure out how to rig an array of objects, didn't work. Started creating a geometry node, but was stopped by a few experienced riggers and set straight. Now the wheel is prepared for individual rigging of every element (mid section and two side sections. Side traction parts are pushed out on an angle, but are linked to the middle, so the angle of the hydraulics will need to change as the wheel expands. Rows are linked by a three piece chain like connection, which needs to unfold as the wheel expands. All in all, each wheel has 20 rows of 3 traction parts, which means I will have 60 dampen track modifiers per wheel. Really hoping this will not crash my system.

Art Showcase I turned this bunny dessert into a 3D model! How close do you think I got to the original?

I found this adorable bunny-shaped dessert and thought it would be fun to recreate it in 3D.

I sculpted and textured my own version in Blender. I tried to keep the simple, round shape of the original while giving it a slightly more stylized look.

What would you change to make it closer to the reference?

Art Showcase Nøkken boss walk-animation

Finally getting somewhere with this bossfight sculpt for our souls-like Norse inspired horror game! This is Nøkken; a shapeshifter that lures you into the water to drown you. The next step will be making the horse model that he will switch between in the fight. This model will be slow and mostly cover debuffs, while the horse will be doing the damage. Im so happy I've gotten this far!! (and pretty sick of looking at his face, hah)
I am a student studying 3D art and game technology just finishing up my second year. This is my exam, but also a boss for a game that me and four others from my school started a year ago. Spent 7 months getting this far, and I still have a long way to go!

Questions & Discussion Should I focus on my family business alongside my 3D career?

3 Upvotes

I’m 25 and currently working as a Junior 3D Artist in Bangalore, earning around ₹28k/month.

My original plan was to get a remote 3D job and work on my family business alongside it. But I recently got this office job, so now I’m confused about whether I should continue on this path.

My concern is about long-term growth. If I spend the next 5 years gaining experience in 3D and eventually I’m earning around ₹50k/month, I’m not sure if that would be worth the time and effort compared to the potential of our family business.

I do enjoy 3D and don’t want to feel like I wasted the years I’ve already invested in it. But at the same time, I’m wondering if I should give more time and attention to the business instead of putting everything into a career where I’m not sure about the long-term income.

I’m genuinely confused about what would be the smarter choice. What would you do in this situation?

Hey guys, i´ve been making 3d for a while and i made a portfolio... I just can´t rate my own work as good as someone, who is seeing it for the first time and i don´t have anyone in my life who would understand what I´am making... My goal is to get a client and get paid for my work. I make CGI product ads. Could you please tell me, if my portfolio is good enough to be paid for? Be honest... Thanks in advance! https://www.artstation.com/slon_99

Art Help & Critique Best way to make this acorn cap water tight?

2 Upvotes

super beginner here. I have a laser scan of an acorn cap. I would like to scale it up into a bowl for a friend. unfortunately I have lots of holes in the data, and every attempt at making it water tight has sent my computer spinning. is there anyone who can help, or give me tips of how best to approach? I’ve tried Rhino, blender, and mesh mixer, but I’m not sure if my computers are powerfully enough.

Questions & Discussion Looking for advice on how to improve my Blender skills

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I’m getting close to graduating from college, and I’ve had a few classes involving 3D throughout my course. I’m familiar with the basics of Blender and can get around the software, but I feel a bit lost when it comes to figuring out how I should progress from here.

I’d really appreciate some advice on what I should focus on to improve my skills and start learning more advanced techniques. I know that a big part of learning 3D comes from experimenting, trying things out, and working on personal projects, but I’d love to hear from people with more experience: is there anything you think is particularly important to focus on early on? Are there any tutorials, courses, YouTube channels, artists, or other resources you would recommend?

I’m especially interested in environment creation, as well as creatures and character modeling, so any advice or resources related to those areas would be greatly appreciated. I’m basically looking for some sort of roadmap to help me figure out what to learn next and avoid spending too much time going in the wrong direction.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share their experience! 😁

Art Showcase Headrest Design for travelling comfort

Post image
2 Upvotes

Sharing a headrest mechanism ,recently designed and developed.

The focus was on ergonomics, adjustability, mechanical stability, and manufacturability. The design combines contoured cushioning with adjustable mechanical arms and secure mounting points for precise positioning.

From CAD development and mechanism design to material selection, prototyping, and production-ready engineering, every element was developed with real-world application in mind.

Always interesting to see how a simple product can involve so much mechanical engineering behind it.

Here I made a stylized medieval signpost which I also sculpted for extra details. I'll later add colour and textures but it's just gonna be used as a prop/asset for future scenes. But is it still usable as a game asset? It has quite a lot of polygons

Hi everyone,

​I’m studying human anatomy in ZBrush to improve my foundational sculpting skills.

​While I didn’t use a specific reference model, my theme for this piece was an adult Western female head. I’m starting with the face to get the core structure right before moving on.

​I’d love to get feedback or advice from experienced sculptors here. Any critiques on proportions, facial structure, or anatomical accuracy would be greatly appreciated!

​Thanks in advance!
