Anyone can form clay (or the 3D version) and make it look acceptable without knowing what's below the skin just by imitating an existing shape. But by knowing where bones, ligaments, muscles, and tissue types are located, and how they move and deform, you can actually generate something from scratch that isn't completely deformed and doesn't even win the uncanny valley award, because it's completely off the course. Knowing where muscles on a face are located and how they flow, how lips are formed and how a smile works mechanically, allows you to sculpt a face by recreating muscle groups and layering skin on top of it. You'll understand why something is formed that way and how it behaves, instead of simply copying something.<br>tl;dr: Study anatomy if you want to be really good.

You can look at similiar games like Quake 3 Arena or Counter-Strike:Online (or Nexon Zombies), Warcraft 3, older CoD's for refrence. Some games usually make a high poly model then bake the lighting onto the texture then just apply on a lower resolution one or just bake it straight-up directly onto the texture. It's just lighting merged onto a normal texture. Usually it's lighting on the edges like in your picture or points of the face that extrude forward for a pseudo 3D effect like the brow bone, cheeks, etc... Good luck jit ong fr fr no cap",

I've got the printer itself sorted out, but I'm having some trouble with one of the models. <br><br>I got a STL file for a cool looking model that I want to print, but the model as its designed is much larger than the scale that I need it for. Its 180mm tall and all I need it for is like 40mm tall. No problem, just scale it down, right? You can even do that in a slicer no problem, no 3d modeling programs needed. <br><br>That *technically* works, but the resulting mini has 2 big problems when printed: the detail work designed for a much larger figure gets so small and shallow as to be erased during printing, and multiple parts of the mini (cape, swords, etc) get dangerously thin and brittle. For things like the sword blade and the cape I guess the best I can do is to just thicken those up to a reasonable degree, but the detailing (which was one of the things that drew me to this model in the first place) is a much more difficult proposition. <br><br>How can I possibly exaggerate these details such that when printed at a small scale its still pronounced enough to be noticeable? I have no blender experience, but from the last couple of days of looking around at tutorials and such I haven't seen anything yet that would help me with this that isn't "spend the next 3-5 years learning blender and re-make the model from scratch". <br><br>Any advice in how you might approach this sort of project, resizing something smaller while preserving detail for printing, would be greatly appreciated.",

I can't see what the texture on your model looks like since it's got the selected overlay, but I really doubt it matters if they're just flat colors. In which case, you don't even need to unwrap them at all. You could just scale the areas on the UV to zero and put them on a single colored pixel.",

From there, making videos is as simple as rigging/animating them (Note: This is not simple or easy) but if you just want to do 3D comics then you could probably stick to posing models that you make. Depending on the fetish I think the real difficulty will be texture painting. It's hard to make something realistic look appealing in 3D, especially humans.

Your first sculpt is going to be ass, and everything you make will be ass for a long time. That's just art, the difficulty curve is insane. <br>You should learn drawing first if you can, but it's not necessary. If you don't like drawing and can't learn to enjoy it, if having to learn to draw means you won't ever sculpt, then skip it. You need to have a passion because of said difficulty curve.<br><span class=\"quote\">>I kinda want to have a project I can work on though.</span><br>that can help, but it can also be a waste of time that impedes progress. Better to work on lots of very small projects. With a big project that is way above your skill level, you'll probably end up "mud mixing", moving things back and forth with no clarity, making marks without thought, being unable to visualise anything or make anything "feel right". You'll be starting over a bunch, or holding on tight to a small something good you made by accident without realising that the sculpt has fundamental problems you don't know how to fix, like the bridge of the nose looks good but nothing else does. <br>You could easily spend a few months overworking a sculpt like that, and get an alright result by the end of it. And then the next time you sculpt it'll be the same thing.<br>But if you practice on lots of small things, building up understanding slowly, you'll be able to make consistent good things in a few hours instead of months. <br>A big project can be a good motivator, but don't get too attached.",

If you like anime then draw goku. Just draw what you're into. It's way more important to gain enthusiasm and interest right now.

Get a sketchbook and start drawing all the time. <br>Photography is a good way to train your eye too. A phone is plenty good enough, just try to take nice interesting pictures. it helps to keep your brain in an artistic mindset.<br>You can open up blender and zbrush and play with it too, look up tutorials, flippednormals is good. <br>Get your youtube algo to just show you art tutorials and watch them for fun instead of fail compilations of whatever you might watch now. <br>The most important thing is don't get discouraged when you suck.<br><br><a href=\"#p976792\" class=\"quotelink\">>>976792</a><br>drawing musclemen<br>https://anatomy4sculptors.com/<br>the pdfs here are really good.

I've had a copy for probably 10 years and I haven't reached for it once. There's stuff you can learn from it, sure, but it's never going to be a convenient book for artists.",

CURRENTLY OFFLINE
I really didn't like the code I used for 4chan scraping. It was overly complex and prone to failures. So I'm pausing data collection on this for now while I think of a better solution.
Dataset Card for Chabiko Stream
"Rule 34 (Part AI). Anything that can be in a dataset, will be in one eventually given enough time." - KaraKaraWitch
XChan + Chibiko -> Chabiko
chabiko is a XChan scraper. and as such, Chabiko Stream is a daily dump of threads and posts of X chan posts.
ArchiverModes
Broadly, the Archiver archives in 2 modes:
- "Archive" [The board supports archives of closed threads.]
- Archives are refreshed at a max of 10 minutes. If boards are moving faster, refreshes happen more often.
- "PostStream" [The Board does not support archives. As such, fall back to Streaming as posts. (This is similar to MissingKeys.)]
- Streams are refreshed at a max of 20 seconds. If boards are moving faster, refreshes happen more often.
Supported Sites
- 4chan
- [TBD] Futaba Channel
Formats
Both Archive modes are written to jsonl:
- For Archive mode, each json line represents an entire thread dump.
- For PostStream, each json represents a single post.
Models
Refer to the following pydantic model for parsing:
class AttachmentData(pydantic.BaseModel):
attachment_url: str
filename: str
class Post(pydantic.BaseModel):
board: str
thread: int
pid:int
name: str
msg: str
attachment: Optional[AttachmentData] = None
posted:int
class Thread(pydantic.BaseModel):
title:Optional[str]
posts:list[Post]
Notices
- Archiving only text for now since I need to see how much data images would take up.
- Due to potential abuse, we are closing community posts. Contact KaraKaraWitch in other known channels.
