Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

DCC Design Tools & Training Robowaifu Technician 09/18/2019 (Wed) 11:42:32 No.415
Creating robowaifus requires lots and lots of design and artistry. It's not all just nerd stuff you know Anon! :^) ITT: Add any techniques, tips, tricks, or content links for any Digital Content Creation (DCC) tools and training to use when making robowaifus. >note: This isn't the 'Post Your Robowaifu-related OC Arts & Designs General' thread. We'll make one of those later perhaps. >--- I spent some time playing with the program Makehuman and I'll say I wasn't impressed. It's not possible to make anime real using Makehuman, in fact the options (for example eye size) are somewhat limited. But there's good news, don't worry! The creator of Makehuman went on to create a blender plugin called ManuelBastioniLAB which is much better (and has a much more humorous name). The plugin is easy to install and use (especially if you have a little blender experience). There are three different anime female defaults that are all pretty cute. (Pictured is a slightly modified Anime Female 2.) There are sliders to modify everything from finger length to eye position to boob size. It even has a posable skeleton. Unfortunately the anime models don't have inverse kinematic skeletons which are much easier to pose. Going forward I'm probably going to use MasturBationLABManuelBastioniLAB as the starting point for my designs. --- Saving everything with yt-dlp (>>16357, >>12247) >=== -re-purpose OP for DCC consolidation -add yt-dlp crosslink

The next thing is to experiment with prompt to 3D. >stone bust of the head of a hairless young female, small cranium compared to the eyes, a sized down forehead compared to the eyes, the forehead should end not far above the eyes, very big eyes like Alita or a doll, smooth skin and lips, she is smiling, no eye lashes, no hair, no hair in the face, no hair around the eyes Btw, I can't upload more than one picture per drag and drop anymore.

>>36413 It's certainly necessary to work on this some more, but I consider this to be solved. What I really want though is picture to 3D, since then I can pic the face based on a picture. >stone bust of the head of a hairless young anime-like female, very big doll-like eye balls, smooth skin and lips, she is smiling, no eye lashes, no hair, no hair in the face, no hair around the eyes, the top of the bust cut of above the eye brows

>>36435 This is great stuff. I love these pictures you churn out. Some of them anyways. The last set looks alien. AHHHHH! I wonder if you could use some open source software that meshes 2D pictures into 3D objects? Make 2D as you have, take pictures of the results and pop it into the other software and out comes 3D obj files. ????

>>36435 Thanks for prompts & examples. I've been messing with the huggingface demo. If anyone wants an easy way to install locally, this is on https://pinokio.computer/ , and they also have a low VRAM option (6GB). I got the image to 3D working locally but the text part had a compile error on my system.

Barf 02/04/2025 (Tue) 22:46:48 No.36550
>>36548 For pinokio, their install scripts are open like - https://github.com/pinokiofactory/Hunyuan3D-2 But, the app itself isn't hardened at all so all the local & temp files are unencrypted by default and all the servers aren't any more secure than your home network. CogStudio and AI Video composer on there are pretty nice too. EchoMimic is good for creating image-to-video avatars

This is literally what this is all about, including other parts of this thread here >>32770 where I tried the same with exports from Meshy.ai. Except this here rather creates glb files for the meshes, I haven't even looked into the ones with textures. You can certainly change them into other formats.

New simple program for rapid prototyping From the website; CaDoodle is a local drag-and-drop CAD application for Linux (Arm,x86), WIndows (X86), and Mac (Arm,x86) and ChromeOS. Users models are stored locally, and the application runs entirely locally. CaDoodle has a drag and drop interface that is cross-trainable with TinkerCAD. 1. Drag and drop shape 2. Group and ungroup 3. Solid and Hole status 4. Undo of operations 5. Stretch and move handles 6. Library of examples 7. Nearest Surface snappping Key Improvements over Tinkercad * Boolean operations such as Hull, Intersect, and XOR * Inkscape as the sketching tool is much more powerful sketching tool * Blender integration brings Sculpted elements easily into CaDoodle * OpenSCAD scripts supported as file sources * BowlerStudio scripts supported * Gridfinity bins a 1st class object * FreeCAD models supported as source models * Export directly to STL, SVG, OBJ, Blender, FreeCAD Download the installers here: https://github.com/CommonWealthRobotics/CaDoodle/releases

>>37614 This is a really excellent resource. It also led me to BowlerStudio. I think you may have mentioned this before but I didn't really understand before I started reading more about CAD programs. BowlerStudio looks like a full scale development studio where you can design, test forces, etc. on robots. https://github.com/CommonWealthRobotics/BowlerStudio Some other stuff I found is BlocksCAD which is a visual OpenSCAD builder. Might come in handy to get started with OpenSCAD https://github.com/EinsteinsWorkshop/BlocksCAD And one other. A library that others are using and also has a 3D CAD, manifold. https://github.com/elalish/manifold This guy has some super interesting commentary on 3D libraries and CAD. He apparently figured out a way to make sure that combining objects does so correctly. Though I don't understand all of it, it seems even super expensive CAD programs can glitch in areas where they join objects and he has found a way to do this (math over my head) but he does describe it reasonably well. His library also integrates with OpenSCAD. The link below is a good read on the foibles of 3D CAD libraries. https://elalish.blogspot.com/2023/03/perseverance-history-of-manifold.html https://elalish.blogspot.com/2022/02/introducing-my-manifold-library.html https://elalish.blogspot.com/2022/03/solid-geometry-representations.html

This might interest. It's some tutorials for Seamless3d. The program I'm not sure about but the tutorials look interesting because they deal with facial and body modeling. So I'm assuming the tips they use to get character feeling would be applicable elsewhere. So some video tutorials Evolving a Cute Round-Faced 3D Character into a More Realistic Style Without Breaking the Aesthetic tutorial Colouring the Lips with ColorSweeps for a NURBS Stitched 3D Animated Character tutorial lip beautify tutorial The two main modelling poses used for animated characters are the T pose and the A pose. This tutorial shows how to transition from one pose to the other. transform a basic minimalist body into a curvy feminine figure Nostrils may not seem like a big deal, but when it comes to modeling more realistic and detailed faces, they play a major role and more http://www.seamless3d.com/

>>41620 It seems to me I recall seeing at least one, yes. However a quick perusal of our Doll thread didn't seem to turn it up. (cf. >>28514 ) I don't think there should be any significant issues to doing it, save this: both the ball and the socket will need to have some type of high-qual coating & smoothing done on them to work properly. --- Alternatively, resin printing for these parts may be a possibility?
