Posts from AltNCF - Alternative NCF

It's obvious anyway. You were talking about models, and I said I don't know what models are in NCF, what they look like, what they are based on... The organization of the project creation is already known, I think, to everyone who has heard about this mod. It wasn't necessary to explain it in such detail.

This link leads to a video in which I spent forty minutes creating a basic shape. It would take another 40 minutes at most to create a decent face and smooth out the details (the body is a bit crooked, but it can be fixed; usually, I made the body in the form of a solid pillar from which details are extruded, but here I decided to try a trapezoid). Right now, it's summer, and I don't have the opportunity to spend more than an hour at a time in front of the computer, so I wouldn't be able to create a complete model without using multiple sessions. If my ZBrush skills were at least average (even though I've made models before, they weren't people, but just grotesque monster figures for printing), the result would be much better in the same forty minutes or an hour.
Of course, this model is not an example of neatness or how to make figures. But it clearly shows that it doesn't take dozens of hours to create a basic shape, especially if the person has the skills.

Yeah, I know that program – one person used it to create a face for one of my creatures in less than an hour, and then used some kind of modifier to make it low-poly so I could create the UV map for it (however, he doesn't use ICQ anymore – I've lost contact with him, but as he said back then, the principle is similar to sculpting with clay)! :smile54:

Of course, this model isn't an example of neatness or how figurines should be made. But it clearly shows that a person doesn't need to spend dozens of hours creating a base model, especially if they have the skills.

Dude, this isn't even funny anymore. Don't you see that you're actively proving what I'm saying, rather than disproving it?

No offense, but you spent 40 minutes creating a flawed piece. It will take you another 6-8 times as long to finish the sculpture. Then, research what retopology is and how long it takes (because you clearly didn't pay attention when I explained it). After that, add roughly the same amount of time for texturing. In the end, it will take a couple of days to create one simple character model. That's normal. And I don't understand your shock. If every newbie who just opened Blender six months ago could create a game-ready character model in 3 hours, do you think anyone would pay for this work?

Anyway, I won't argue anymore. You can believe whatever you want. You can continue to think that creating a nonsensical piece in Blender in 40 minutes, which still needs a lot of work, is the same as creating a decent model in 3 hours. It's even funny to talk about. Don't you trust me? If you need proof and real numbers, check Google or look at a graphics forum, like our render.ru.

Once again, trying to do something and learn is great. If you're trying to encourage people to learn 3D, that's great. But saying that "it's a piece of cake, guys" is simply not true. Creating good models independently is quite possible and theoretically useful for you. But be prepared that it will take more than 3 hours and you will have to put in some effort. Good luck to everyone in their endeavors.

for those who do nothing, haven't done anything, and won't do anything?
