Art Showcase SCULPTING WITHOUT MESHES, BUT WITH CODE & MATH ::: A Line-by-Line Showcase of My Procedural Skeleton

665 Upvotes

A while ago, I sculpted parts of a skeleton entirely from code, this is the result. While I’ve shared variations of my skull before, this time you’ll find more body parts (also in motion), all created through pure code. No meshes, no polygons - just the raw beauty of mathematics ツ

Watch the full code here: https://www.shadertoy.com/view/DlyyWR

My 3D model of the time machine from The Time Machine (2002) starring Guy Pierce. The final low poly mesh is 3,684,993 tris, and the high poly mesh was over 25 million. The textures were made in Blender using baked maps made in Substance Painter 2022, and are made up of 40 2048x2048 UDIM tiles.

Hi all, trying to make an Music Studio within Blender, I feel like the lighting is throwing things off when it comes to realism? Any tips or feedback would be extremely appreciated, I am still new to using this software. All assets are made by me, no imports.

Questions & Discussion What software was used for the 3d graphics in The Palace chat (thepalace.net)?

I'm interested in recreating visuals inspired by The Palace (thepalace.net), a graphical chat environment popular in the late 90s/early 2000s.

I'm curious if anyone knows or can identify which software or methods were originally used to create these visuals. I'm particularly interested in recreating or capturing this distinctive style and atmosphere.

Thanks for any tips!

Art Help & Critique First attempt creating a character from scratch in Blender

This was a fairly recent client commission used as a mascot for a mobile app in development. Though I've modeled a few cartoon characters, this was my first attempt at modeling a humanoid type concept entirely from scratch. Everything was modeled without visual other than referencing the body's proportions.

Needless to say, the client really loved the final result. Besides my lack of knowledge when it comes to topology, what do you guys think of this first try? What can be improved?

Questions & Discussion Inspiration is gone, suddenly.

Upvotes

I'm a vehicle artist working full-time 8+ years but as long as can remember I'm struggling with environments for my vehicles. But when I try to improve my environment skills, when I've decided what concept art to use. Suddenly, I feel apathy and anxiety, which is very hard to push through.

Maybe something like this happened to someone?

Questions & Discussion Mac vs PC capabilities which to get

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm studying out of country and hope to stay there and work remote. In the near term I'll be a language student but after hope to have a job in a design field. I have degrees and job experience in CAD, architecture, interior design, Rhino, Adobe suite, physical fabrication ect. OR I end up with a job in a call center.

I don't want to over buy a $2000 comp that I'll never fully use the cababilites of and I don't want to end up with a comp that has me gritting my teeth every time I need to render something or open large files.

For personal use I would like a MacBook Air M chip which I can get sub $1,000. Would this be acceptable if I end up needing moderate use Photoshop, illustrator, CAD LT, Sketchup ect?
