Re: How the F#*K do i texture this
you don't want to be texturing this uniquely - you will never hit the required resolution .
put all the decals / sticker etc onto a sheet and slap them on little quads.
if this is where your player sits, you can probably get away with modelling basically everything rather than baking unique normals etc. - it's basically an environment as opposed to a prop from that perspective

Re: Compositing Blender Question
It looks like you simply didn't plug the result into "Composite" node - the Viewer is only a temporary Output, I think.

Re: We built an AI motion tool so you can go from storyboard/videos/prompts → animation without searchin
Well, you've trained your AI using presumably a bunch of data from the internet. Which is really problematic since it's likely you haven't asked any of the content creators for permission to use their content for commercial purposes.
And you're using a Naruto video to demo with, which is also covered by trademarks, copyright, etc.
Also, when I go to the website and click on Privacy or Terms at the bottom, I get no information. That's pretty bad.

Re: Normal Map Problem
looks to me like you do not have UV splits where you have hard edges.

Re: BRAWL2 [Vehicle] Bull Dust, sacboi [Tribute]
Ok busy wrapping up this project, had given up the ghost trying to follow my brief I'd initially penned when Brawl2 kicked off back in May. Anyway so just in the last three wks decided to pivot across making a 3D concept....well sort of, that seems like currently it's predominately morphed into something else entirely but I still wanted to finish because not only time and effort spent had actually a blast working on it, however personally real lesson learnt (note to self) perhaps next time best to plan out things before diving in.
Update:
Using Ucupaint plus Kitops for texturing, the latter is a tri-planar workflow that enables materials to be applied without UV mapping, more about it here whereas ucu comes shipped with blender. As far as I'm aware based on layer painting functionality in a similar vein too SPainter or Photoshop which I'll probably use to create grunge/dirt weathering....etc
Test Bake - Tyre tread
Base materials via EEVEE and Cycles Material System:
Even at this stage confident we'll meet the deadline

Whisper of the Heart's Atelier
I'm making this to look back on my learning and thought process throughout this project. I have a uni assignment where we have to make an interior environment with a hero asset as the clear focus. I've chosen to do the violin atelier in Whisper of the Heart following the concept that Seiji and Shizuku have grown up and Mr Nishi has passed the place down to them, it's used as a living space and a "home office" for them to get work done together.
my reference (there's more but i'm struggling to add it here)
blockout
Paintover/photobash I made to explain how I'm expecting it to look more easily
The hero asset in this scene will be the violin. It'll be either complete (most likely) or unfinished to make it stand apart from the other violins. Crystals are important to the characters so I thought a cute addition would be a sun catcher. If I add it I'm excited to see what I can do with the lighting. The bench's been replaced with a high table by the window which will have wine glasses and a bottle. The sofa may become a drawer depending on time. There's a saucepan on the sofa, a bookshelf in the back, there'll be a pen pot and finally lamps. Whisper of the heart is my favourite movie so I'm going to try my best to give it justice!

Re: How many tris for a AAA modern Unreal 5 engine game? PC specs
I think this sentiment has been around for the past decade+ as geometry has not been a GPU bottleneck/performance issue for a looong time.
Just give yourself enough fidelity to look good enough, and within reason and sensibility. There really isn't a goal/benchmark of what triangle limit to aim for, it just so happens to land around this arbitrary number for many factors. (subject matter has lots of armor pieces, super organic, plus lots of hair cards = inherent high triangle count)
e.g. don't go nuts and author several iterations of subdivisons "just cause", effectively skyrocketing your geo to 400k triangles or whatever.
but also don't skimp out on areas that could use more silhouette/loops/fidelity - we don't need to second guess if we can "afford" it anymore.
