Note: I'm going to go ahead and merge this with the 3D Models of Humans thread soon >>415 . There's some instructional information already there on these kinds of topics, and we have already similar information spread out too far. I'll probably change the subject of that thread to make it more general. >--- In this thread we discuss various CAD software for the purpose of making access easier for others to get started. I'm using Fusion360. Other good options are Blender and FreeCAD. Fusion360 is the easiest to use imho and is free unless your business makes over 100,000 dollars. Post software, tutorials, tips and tricks you've learned, etc. Let's make designing waifus easier for each other!

I've tried out ManuelBastioniLAB and it's very comprehensive while easy to use. It's been discontinued and forked into the MB-Lab project now.
https://mb-lab-community.github.io/MB-Lab.github.io/
There's a way to add in genitals or remove the modesty coverings but the default program doesn't include them in order to get around strict pornography laws in European jurisdictions.

>>420
>It's been discontinued and forked into the MB-Lab project now.
Ah, thanks for the update anon. Dollfan would be glad to know I imagine. Any way of adding the genitalia feature back into the program you know of? Asking for a friend.

It's been awhile since I've used it and I can't find any information on how to do so as manuelbastioni.com/guide_tips.php is down.

Trying it out in Blender 2.8 I have no idea what's going on with this new UI. Ah got it, go into edit mode and select the MBlab_generic material. Assign the MBlab_human_skin to it and it's replaced. Hopefully this webm helps, don't know why the mouse pointer isn't showing up.

>>436
>>436
maybe this will help?

also, i think you're supposed to use v1.7.5 with Blender 2.8 as well.
github.com/animate1978/MB-Lab/archive/1_7_5.zip

>>437
Read through that and didn't see anything about removing the coverings. It's working fine the way I showed how just do it before finalizing the character.

>---------------------------------
SFW board, keep it spoilered anon.

>>442
I threw up a little.

A lot of SFM model creators use modding tools in Skyrim to make a base for their models. It does a decent rigged body that's very customizable with a simple UI but getting Skyrim with porn mods setup properly is a pain in the ass. Loverslab is where that community hangs out for adult mods and allthefallen.ninja is for loli mods.

Two sites that have a good collection of 3d models are sfmlab.com(requires an account to see nude models but all it takes is a disposable email) and smutba.se , you might get lucky on DeviantArt and tumblr too.

And on this site we've got someone creating his waifu in VR over in /agdg/30078 with constant updates on his progress. There's also /3d/ that's somewhat active and has tons of good resources for Blender.

I'm not very knowledgeable about the MMD or VRchat community but here's a booru for the first one, sometime links to the models are posted
mmda.booru.org/

Any professional-tier 3D modeling/animation suite like Maya, 3DStudio Max, Motion Builder, SoftImage, and even Blender more and more, will have some type 'human-builder' plugin available either in-product or as a third-party plugin.

I think MoBu has the simplest and most intuitive IK/FK humanoid shell-rigging system I've ever worked with tbh.

bump for interest. A "How to make 3d models" thread would be nice.

>>476
I think both /3d/ and possibly /agdg/ may have some Blender information anon. But yes this would be a good thread here I agree.

Good thread OP. So, are you free to give away or even sell you're waifu products with Fusion360 too?

>>1161
Yes Anon, and you can use it for free. One of the more interesting features is the ability to collaborate. We could set it up so that multiple Anons can work on the same project together.
www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/compare
Let's all learn together.

I'm going to check this software out OP.

This software is amazing OP I thank you immensely for bringing this to my attention. I've used other CAD software like Rhino and FreeCAD, and I could never get into them for one reason or another. Fusion360 is great in my first 30 minutes with it I designed a basic mock-up of a forearm. It's really intuitive and I recommend it to anyone struggling to find something they like.

>>1164
It's fantastic to hear an Anon benefited from this thread. I'd really appreciate if you posted pictures of your progress, either here or potentially your own that if you're planning a project you'd like to share.

>>1164
Thanks for that recommendation anon, and to the OP also for introducing it to us.

>>414
Personally I'd recommend using onshape for anyone who doesn't already have cad.
www.onshape.com/

It's fairly similar to solidworks so it's very easy to pick up and can be accessed from anywhere with a web browser. The models can be shared and edited publicly so it makes it easy to collaborate. It was sort of made for open source projects like this. Entirely free to use as well.
www.onshape.com/cad-blog/onshape-is-the-perfect-cad-for-open-source

>>1167
>It was sort of made for open source projects like this. Entirely free to use as well.
This looks really interesting. As great as Fusion360 is there are two issue holding me back on it. A) It's owned by Autodesk, and having experience with them in other industries I'm hesitant to go there again. B) It doesn't run natively on Linux. I have come to literally hate both Microsoft and Apple over the last few years. They have become enemies of their own users. Otherwise it's amazing.

While I haven't looked too closely at onshape yet (I will now after you're post) there's one thing I really like about it: it runs on Linux with no complications. However, I'd like to ask you first: We need to ensure that we can both download and work locally on models offline. If (((they))) pull the plug on us, we'd be fucked if we had to reach the cloud to work on our designs thereafter. Very risky weakness if we have to imo.

Ideas?

>>1167
Good find Anon, it works on pretty much anything with an internet connection and send to show for easy collaboration. Overall great software for learning. Though if using for professional development for production, Fusion360 is cheaper 125 a month. If you're interested in learning CAD or only want to make open source designs and have a solid internet connection, this is a great choice.

>>1168
You are free to download your designs and work on them offline through other CAD programs. You're right in that if they pull the plug, you're fugged. It's a program that requires there servers to function.

Really cool software to help with designing linkages.

great, thanks anon.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the newer Illusion games, they allow for quite a bit of customization of 3d models and since it uses the Unity engine it can be easily exported for use in other 3d editors. As games or VR sex simulators they're not very good, better to use them as an animation studio or model builder.

There's also a huge community making their own characters and sharing them online on imageboards or on boorus thanks to the 'card' save feature. Just find a character you like, save the .png card into your UserData/chara/female/ folder and it's ready to use.

I'd recommend trying out Koikatsu as it's the most popular one at the moment and there's a newer torrent out that includes all the most important mods preinstalled.
https://sukebei.nyaa.si/view/2849724

I spent a dozen hours in it and the UI is still feels odd but very simple compared to dedicated 3d programs. I mostly screw around in the Chara Studio program rather than the main game. Unfortunately most of the community for it hangs out on Discord but you find guides for it and tips on installing it with Wine on the HGames Wiki.

>>1505
I don't vidya much these days anon never did really tbh too tied up with school and coding. That sounds interesting though. You mentioned you've spent some time in it. Any chance you show us some of your results? Not prying just curious what's being done by anons here.

>>1506
I'm just screwing around in it so I don't have anything to show off, I thought about giving an example with that post but just clicking on any of the links will provide some. At first I tried it out for the character modeling but the animation studio is what I find the most useful. This video gives an idea of how it works.

It's more of a simulator with 3d models than a game, the reason why I think it's pertinent to this board is you can pipe the chroma keyed video output of animated characters for several purposes. I remember one guy on here wanted to make a virtual desktop assistant program and this would be perfect for that.

The aspect I'm most interested in is using it with AR/VR which I'm having trouble to get working as the VR version is designed for the main game to work with the Vive headset and that whole ecosystem isn't something I'm interested in. I'm currently doing tests having two programs running and slightly changing the camera angle. By binding headset tracking to the camera on both instances it should work.

>>1507
Thanks anon. That does look pretty easy to use and the waifu is cute. I'm assuming it's also pretty easy to animate since you mentioned that specifically?

I'm not exactly sure I understand how the details of the chroma key function will support the anons who want to make a virtual/visual waifu? Though it seems like it would be good for it from your statement.

I hope you can figure out how to do VR w/o relying on the commercial Vive, etc. platforms. Open-source VR gear when?

>>1508
The chroma keying works by selecting a solid color background like in this video. Then sending the output of the window into ffmpeg using gdigrab you use -filter_complex 'colorkey=0x<color>' to remove the color. Then there are many ways to display a transparent video output with characters on your desktop depending on the DE/WM you use.

The animation is what really surprised me with Chara Studio, I'm used to standard 3d software where you have to waste time rendering to see if it's any good and it takes forever to learn all the intricacies. With this software it's all live and through easy to select FK/IK options you can modify the basic animations. Of which there are a lot of.

And by this time next year I expect OpenXR to be usable with a third party tracking solution that's supported, it should already work right now. They can output video to almost all the headsets out right now but the issue is position data.

>>1509
Aha. I think I understand that a little better now thanks anon. That sounds like pretty compelling experience with the animation, I think simple to use is a better choice than extravagant array of features for the majority of us anons heh.

Do you think OpenXR to become popularly supported similar to say, OpenGL?
>position data
Are there any good open source Kinect-like alternatives or something functionally similar? Has a new market formed to fill the Kinect void?

>>1509
PS. Moar Chii tbh! :^)

>>1505
I'll give it a look anon, thanks for bringing it up.

To keep this on topic there's also the Custom Maid 3D series that's similar to Koikatsu. You can find a 122gb torrent for it on nyaa.si

>>1510
OpenXR is made by the Khronos group and they're the people who are behind the OpenGL replacement Vulkan so industry support is guaranteed.

As for tracking that's a whole different can of worms, there's NOLO VR that's not very well supported but works at the moment and Valve's lighthouse system that's currently being reverse engineered through libsurvive. I'd give VR another year or two to mature before buying into it as it's still a mess. And even then buy something cheap and used.

>>1513
Thank you, I'll have a lot to look at heh.

Has anyone tried VROID studio? I while ago I watched a video about it, and I remember that it's possible to roll out the skin. Which might be usefull if someone wants to create a skin for a bot later. https://youtu.be/p8xQ0waBwPo

>>4339 Thanks for the tip anon. Yes, the idea of splaying a skin come up in the papercraft waifu thread. I think there are some dedicated tools just for it too, IIRC.

Anyone tried Solvespace or OpenCAD?

>>4390 I haven't what about you Anon? Anything you can tell us about them here?

>>4390 I started with Solvespace, but like with everything I got distracted. Will soon start again, there are tutorials on Youtube. I like that it even runs on a Raspi 3 (also Linux in general).

Other than the following links, anyone aware of any good human anatomy models to use as a basis for the internal mechanisms? Having an external form will be useful as a basis, but for CAD work of mapping out the actual mechanisms it seems like having more than just a shell to work with could be good. I have a few links to some very nice resources for human anatomical models, but the download speeds are terrible and it isn't customization in their proportions. 3d models of bones, muscles, veins, and organs with a built in viewer and downloads http://lifesciencedb.jp/bp3d/?lng=en Model of the above link with full skeleton https://grabcad.com/library/human-anatomy-v3-male-life-sciences-japan-bodyparts3d-source-1/details?folder_id=4540778 v4 (previous being v3) but seems incomplete https://grabcad.com/library/human-anatomy-v4-male-life-sciences-japan-bodyparts3d-source-1/details?folder_id=4247170 There seem to be a few different currents here, which is good, but for those who want a more biomimetic waifu, organs and bone structure should maybe be considered at least for design. Are there any easier ways to go about this that I am unaware of?

>>4450 Looking at the anatomy is certainly very useful, it would be even better if we had a 3d model of a young woman which we could adapt to our needs. In the ideal case, the most human-like waifus will feel similar to humans from the outside. We could find the bones we need to keep and the ones which could be bigger or differently shaped in the waifu.

>>4450 There are actually anatomy programs that actually used in pre-med/med schools as reference and teaching aids. They are entirely commercial products and they don't give their models away for free. But if you're so inclined to obtain a copy and use is simply as interactive reference, you probably couldn't find a better type of resource along these lines Anon. >Complete Anatomy Platform 2020 https://3d4medical.com/

>>4465 Thanks, there are also more and more apps to learn anatomy like eg "Teach me Anatomy". Didn't try it yet though, but I have it on my wishlist.

>>4454 >it would be even better if we had a 3d model of a young woman which we could adapt to our needs I agree. I was hoping that there would be other sources with different human models that could be exported to a CAD program but it seems like there may not be. There are tons of resources on human body proportions and the difference between male and female proportions, but I have no idea how to translate that into a things like bone structure and musculature on the design level. The resources I linked were created with scans of at least one human, I'm not sure if more were used, and finding human models already in existence has proved fruitless. https://www.intechopen.com/books/machine-learning-and-biometrics/a-human-body-mathematical-model-biometric-using-golden-ratio-a-new-algorithm This is a decent paper on human body proportions, but it is also male. There are other proportional charts and papers that go over females but this one seemed the most comprehensive generally which is why I saved it. Referencing the differences between the sexes and applying it to the more detailed male model seems a decent temporary solution. >>4465 Fantastic resource anon! This will definitely be useful for reference in understanding anatomy and biomechanics.

>>4480 >This is a decent paper on human body proportions, but it is also male. There are other proportional charts and papers that go over females but this one seemed the most comprehensive generally which is why I saved it. Referencing the differences between the sexes and applying it to the more detailed male model seems a decent temporary solution. I feel obligated to speak up and let you know I will oppose any male-oriented project work attempted here on /robowaifu/. Other groups are free to take our work and do with it as they will, but /robowaifu/ is strictly, well, waifu-oriented.

>>4481 I think it's about finding ways to use the male bone model and then changing it based on other infos.

>>4481 Waifus are my goal as well, but without a decent internal model to work with I feel that altering a male form to be better proportional to a female form may be the best course of action for the development of a biomimetic android. If someone could find a female base to work with I'd be more than happy to use it, but until then altering a male model to be female is much more straightforward than translating MRI data into something more workable. That said, the proportionality of the human body has been a pain to try and sift through. If there are any better proportionality charts and algorithms than the one I posted here >>4480 please let me know.

>>4483 >>4484 Understood. Once the transform work has been successfully concluded, then I'm sure the results would be welcome here.

I posted something about software for modelling faces here: >>4549 - It's partially related, but more about faces.

Looking forward to try some programs, when I find the motivation to setup my laptop with a new Linux distro or when I have my PC. Has anyone tried these? dust3D: https://youtu.be/MytN8t4guuM MeshMolder (Video from 2018, back then WinOnly, works with oldish PCs): https://youtu.be/k3rfjydtm6A SculptGL (seems to be really good, maybe resource hungry): https://youtu.be/d2Lf_RVyQYA Neobarok (unique workflow, prefers AMD, a bit buggy): https://youtu.be/YRGjD4nTp_k MeshMixer (no Linux, already has objects, like eg ears, good for honeycomb shapes): https://youtu.be/YJ9LAwMwr0M I didn't watch the whole video for Thea Conceptor, from askNK bc I didn't like the video. There are more and more specialized free programs where the results can be exported to other programs, like Blender. Character Creator seems to be a commercial alternative to Make Humans, just wanted to mention it. Just in case someone needs something which might be more powerful.

Some thread in 4chan which might be worth some digging. Didn't look into the links. Maybe it's nothing important. A lot is in Japanese, though.: Anatomy, tutorials, construction, building, texturing, etc.: http://boards.4chan.org/3/thread/742562

>>4756 Thanks Anon. I used to spend days modeling ears, just to prove my instructors wrong and show that they could in fact ofc tbh be modeled all with quads. I was correct.

>>4423 Update on Solvespace: There's no way to import . STL files or any other files into it. It's easy to use for ones own design, but not to work with other files, except the creator shared the Solvespace files. However, I also found Wings3d and Makehuman are installable on my Raspi3. I'll try Wings3d first, since I cant imagine Makehuman would be working fine, and also because I only want to change same smaller parts from Thingyverse and such.

>>4795 Hope you keep us updated Anon. >do these work OK on a SBC like that?

>>4802 I'm using Meshlab for repairs and filters, Wings3D for some extrusions and creating new simple meshmodels, though in the future I might use Solvespace for that, Prusa Slicer for cutting mesh models and adding parts for support (I don't mean the regular auto- generated supports, but manually added ones). I tried Blender briefly, though it's really slow with a complex mesh model on a Raspi3. I didn't even try to use Make Humans yet. Misfit Models 3d works well for some things, it can open dxf files but not stl, while Wings3D doesn't accept dxf but stl, and Solvespace takes only dxf or its own file format. Meshlab is very responsive and has a lot of filters, but the file I repaired with it still had errors in Prusa Slicer and caused a faulty print, while it didn't make it easier to cut it. Cutting whole models into parts in Prusa Slicer causes severe errors (deformations) in that model most of times, which then need to be repaired manually, taking hours (for a beginner)... By now I'm completely opposed to the workflow of mixing CAD designed exact parts with mesh models, like the developer of Sophie does, but also the developer of InMoov seems to have done. This kind of mixing needs to be kept to a minimum for good design.

Before I forget it again: Congratulations to your progress in learning Fusion360, especially the more advanced options. Autodesk thanks you a lot for enjoying their product. Autodesk is so happy for everyone, they just announced that Fusion360 won't have so many options in the free version anymore. Now you can support them with a regular monthly payment or once a year, and therefore contribute to the further development of their product, and so help them to create even better and more expensive options. You can even get some bonuses here and there, maybe. So you won't need to spend to much. Hmmm.. Okay?

>>5194 kek. Yeah Autodesk is rather mercenary in their general behavior. I've been dealing with them for years, no surprise tbh.

>>5194 Don't forget to export your files in every format they allow right now, you might need these files later. Not sure if dxf works everywhere, and how well. Every progamm has its own format, and it seems to be difficult to write code for import.

I found the option to make more complex round forms in Solvespace version 3, the one in some repositories is 2.3 (e.g. Raspian). Not sure if it's in these old versions. I'm using the version from Github now, which even builds on a Raspberry Pi 3 directly. It can create a helix or revolve around some point, but not completely. I want to use this to build many parts which will assemble to something bigger, for example a skull or a abdomen. Only if absolutely necessary their should be some small parts added which a sculpted. I want everything in CAD (parametric design), so I can add cavities and then holders or levels on the inside, or scale and slice the whole thing however I want to. The example pic with the abdomen is from Sophie (stl-file in the Mega cloud of the developer). The green part is a example in CAD, which isn't perfect, but it shows that I might be able to build something alike step by step. This might also be more useful if something is supposed to be a mold for silicone rubber, bc I can work on the inside of such a model by making a cavity with the same shape but maybe some extras like the negative of the belly button. I'm still playing around and learning, so don't hold your breath for something complete coming very soon. I'm working parallel on may different parts, however I feel like. I found that in some cases it's good approach to use the 2D preview of a stl-file in a slicer to get some picture with a pattern as orientation. Also using 3D sculpted models for comparison.

>>8076 Thanks for the progress reports Anon. I really wish you good success in devising a robowaifu design system based on a SBC system like the RPi. If we can bring the costs down of everything -- including the design process -- then we can see many more anons getting their own robowaifus. I like the thinking about parametric design work. BTW, this kind of facility is also included in packages like Blender and Maya. It's called NURBS there, and as you suggest is a fast, powerful way to make all kinds of geometric edits. But personally, I'd feel a lot better knowing that at least one of us was taking the time to master SolveSpace too. Godspeed in your research and studies Anon!

>>8076 Glad to see at least some of Sophie's early parts are coming in handy for learning/conceptualisation of your robowaifu! Managed to 3D-print her entire right hand and half her forearm in the space of 24 hours today using a single 3D printer. I want her to be low cost, easy to fix and mass-manufacture! Not just so that any damage is easily repaired, but so that other people can easily build upon and make use of her parts.

>>8084 >I want her to be low cost, easy to fix and mass-manufacture! Not just so that any damage is easily repaired, but so that other people can easily build upon and make use of her parts. Thank you very much for that goal Sophie Anon. It helps everyone!

>>8079 I wonder how good Blender is at parametric design. I while ago the message was that it isn't really good at it, but it might progress fast. I think the fundamentals can be learned with many programs, then transferred to many of them.

>>8102 I'm not too sure how well NURBS+Subdiv works on Blender yet, but with Maya it's definitely pro-tier. My guess is the Ton & crew are very quickly catching up in basically every area that they may lag behind the big boys. After all, the Blender Foundation is now literally raking in millions a year as many major studios have begun coming on board with the tool since the very innovative v2.8 dropped. In fact, a number of them are literally sending engineers to work right alongside the Blender devs to help them integrate features they deem essential. True 'skin in the game' move. It's been a long 25+ years lol haul for Ton, but he's finally become an 'overnight' success at last. Blender is amazing now, and I definitely mean to dig deeply into it this year and start creating a virtual waifu for our MRS simulator so we can finally use it with at the least a virtual waifu's face in it. >>1814 > I think the fundamentals can be learned with many programs, then transferred to many of them. Yep, I think you're right.

Still trying out different stuff (pics related). Often not with some specific goal in mind, just for testing. However, combining different 3D parts in one assembly turned out to be more difficult than anticipated. I might have to learn a bit more, to get better at it. For now I focus on playing and low hanging fruits (crude prototypes). >>8079 > devising a robowaifu design system based on a SBC system like the RPi This works to some extend, but it' wont' work for 3D sculpting. Also, I'm only doing this because I can't get myself to install and configure a new Linux on my laptop. Sooner or later I'm going to do that, though. I also intend to buy a PC for machine learning and some other things like 3D modelling, after I moved to another place. If I tried this now, I couldn't be sure when the parts arrive, and I'm busy anyways.

>>8110 I like the details of these cutaways Anon. Nice work. Seems to me you're really starting to get the hang of designing useful parts. Keep it up!

Has anyone here tried OpenSCAD yet? An anon mentioned it once here >>4554 but afaict there weren't any responses about it yet. It seems promising on the surface of it. It seems like is supports programmability for creating models, which as a programmer I find quite interesting. There is some kind of library available for it (Presumably it's a library of modeled parts, etc. pic #2 related ). The source code is available for building it directly for your machine. https://github.com/openscad/openscad https://www.openscad.org/cheatsheet/index.html https://github.com/nophead/NopSCADlib

>>8469 I have the tab open for quite a while, but didn't try it out. Seems to be interesting, I might look into it this year at some time. It's probably going to be about finding out what workflow works better, programming or working with the mouse. The problem is that these programs have no good exchangeable file formats. What might be interesting about OpenSCAD is that it might be possible to train programs to create object, while comparing it to a real object with image recognition, or to use it in a physics simulation. Maybe we can use this at some point to have our waifus imagine objects and run simulations to figure out how to handle them, a bit like dreaming or like planning and understanding how things work through imagination.

The designer of Alitas bodies in the live action movie : > https://vitalybulgarov.com/alita >Software-wise I used: ZBrush for initial sculpting(shape exploration), then Softimage XSI(for SUBD parts) and Moi3D(for CAD parts) for final surfaces/detailed work. Bodies rendered in Keyshot and the heart was rendered in Octane (I transitioned to Octane Render at the end of the project). Doesn't help me much, tbh. Except the term SUBD helped me to find this: https://solidedge.siemens.com/en/solutions/products/3d-design/subdivision-modeling/ Subdivision Surface Modifier — Blender Manual: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/modeling/modifiers/generate/subdivision_surface.html This might be the knowledge I lacked to get ahead. It's for the creation of more complex organic forms, but not (horrendous) 3D sculpting.

>>9355 I might be able to help you sort through some of that Anon. But honestly, you are already on the proper course by focusing on Blender instead unless you are independently wealthy. Today, Blender is not only still a free product (both as in beer and speech), but it also kicks ass too. Several studios have begun migrating to it, and Ton is now raking in over a million a year to grow the Blender Foundation's efforts with the platform. It shouldn't be the only tool in your pouch, but Blender should generally be the first thing you reach for Anon.

Anyone looked into anatomy sources recently? Something new? Anyone tried Human Generator? https://youtu.be/b3at8PXN9sk or importing from Make Human into Blender?https://youtu.be/bKqxbmnYlCw or >>4339 VRoid studio? https://youtu.be/aD5yAAPA4fU

Blender Foundation has now released their next LTS version 2.93 . This version will be actively supported for two years. https://www.blender.org/download/releases/2-93/ It has a remarkable new array of features. The geometry nodes and line art tools could be quite helpful to some of the kinds of work we might do here on /robowaifu/.

After dabbling in the 3D modelling community for a few months now I've realized a lot of people just use other models as bases for new ones and creating a good one from scratch can take a whole week. DeviantArt seems to be the most popular source for models: https://www.deviantart.com/search/deviations?q=mmd&order=all-time And SketchFab: https://sketchfab.com/search?q=anime&sort_by=-relevance&type=models (after filtering the results by clicking Downloadable) The CATS plugin makes it easy to import and work with anime models that are usually in MMD format: https://github.com/GiveMeAllYourCats/cats-blender-plugin And there's also the mmd_tools plugin: https://github.com/powroupi/blender_mmd_tools Mixamo makes it stupidly easy to animate any humanoid model and get it moving in a game engine: https://www.mixamo.com/ I'm pretty hyped how close I'm to having a virtual waifu. Just a year ago I couldn't imagine myself ever doing any sort of 3D stuff. And this shit is gonna be so easy for people once it's all together. Just adjust the blend shapes, pick a hair style, clothing, hair color, etc. Then pick a voice and personality for her and challenge your waifu to a game of strip checkers. If I can wrap my head around 3D file formats I'd love to take a shot at generating character models with AI next year. It wouldn't have to generate the whole thing. It could work in pieces, making random adjustments for the user to select what they like and blend the samples they like together, sort of like how 2D waifus can be generated. The Blender API would make it possible to generate stuff directly in the editor too. What a time to be alive.

>>11556 Neat! Thanks for the information and links Anon. I think you're right about things like Blender's Python API making things possible to generate automatically. And there are other options available today, like things ITT. >What a time to be alive. Indeed. Let the virtual waifu armies arise!!

One of my favorite things about Blender is how it's entirely self-contained, cross-platform, no install needed. Drag-and-drop and it just werks. Honestly, I can't think of a single other large program that does this as well. OTOH, building it all from source can be a bit rough! :^)

This isn't so much a tool per se but I learned most of what I know about 3D modelling from watching Shonzo make anime models from scratch. Often he uses screencast keys during his streams so you can see the hotkeys he uses during his workflow. Posting this here since there isn't really a general 3D modelling thread or art thread. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNFUPVBy1vk https://www.twitch.tv/shonzo https://www.youtube.com/c/Shonzo/videos

>>11896 Thanks! >since there isn't really a general 3D modelling thread or art thread. Yes, that is a long-standing need. Tell you what, if you'll go ahead and OP a thread that solves that for us, I'll go ahead and merge this entire thread into that one.

>>11556 Cheers anon! This thread is awesome! Bookmarked into my 3D modelling folder. You can also download a bunch of reference books from Z-library and Library Genesis (you may need to register on their website and use Tor for certain titles). Just type in Blender and you'll find several 2020 titles on game and character design using both Blender and Unity Engine. (I can't post them here due that being piracy).

The Solvespace tutorials from Eric Buijs moved to Peertube and are gone from YouTube bc of enforced advertising: https://peertube.linuxrocks.online/video-channels/homehack/videos

>>11964 Thanks for the heads-up Anon! Save.everything.

>>11896 Shonzo is a narcissist troon and an idiot who couldnt teach if their life depended on it. Literally all that literal faggot does is have its stream chat stroke its ego cock while answering zero questions nor explaining any of his processes. Anyone who considers a timelapse a “tutorial” and labels it as such like Shonzo does is: 1. Wasting your time 2. Incredibly retarded and should be avoided. 3. They do VR chat models. Obviously pozzed. There are literally dozens of better resources out there like Grant Abbot who actually teach you what the fuck they know and show you step by step without any of the 500x 30+ minute timelapse video titled “tutorials” that Shonzo and their ilk does.

>>12105 Not him, but I definitely like what Grant Abbitt does Anon.

>>12105 Seethe and cope more, Mr Reddit

>>12105 Shonzo is an ass with a lot of stupid hot takes but I like his models and prefer learning by watching people work than explaining everything. Also VR Chat models are a good source of income. I don't know why you're so salty about it.

>>4756 The thread is gone, but 4chan and probably others have boards for drawing, sculpting, etc which could be useful for us. Here's also some archive: https://4chanarchives.com/board/3/ though I didn't find the thread from my posting above. I also didn't save it, since it was from befor we had Bump.

Note: I'm going to go ahead and merge this with the 3D Models of Humans thread soon >>415 . There's some instructional information already there on these kinds of topics, and we have already similar information spread out too far. I'll probably change the subject of that thread to make it more general. >--- Mostly playlists of Blender artists and other arts-related or technical training channels. SAVE.EVERYTHING. I know we have the Tools to Create 3D Models of Humans (>>415) and Robowaifu Design Software (>>414) threads. But this thread is actually closer in intent to the ROBOWAIFU U (>>235) & the Humanoid Robot Projects Videos (>>374) threads, in that it's more about training and videos but with a focus on learning the products like Blender, Krita, Solvespace, Kdenlive, Godot, etc., or the techniques themselves. I even hope Bob Ross' shows and other kinds of similar video lists will be placed ITT since it's also arts, and far too little attention is being given to arts on /robowaifu/ currently!. >"We are creating an active hobbyist scene of builders, programmers, artists, designers, and writers using the technology of today, not tomorrow. Join us!" Thankfully, that seems to be changing a bit recently, and hopefully this information can help speed that up. Also, I figure it might be helpful if the whole group here had a kind index of arts-related & technical video content out there. Easier to find a few of the things that might be of interest to the robowaifuists here. Oh yea Anon, did I mention this... SAVE.EVERYTHING. :^)

>>12245 SAVE.EVERYTHING.? Pfft, Wat? I know you might be asking yourself this question, Anon: >But why do I need to save anything, much less everything? After all, it's current year and we have the Internet. Don't we live in a society? Can't I just watch every.thing.ever. 24/7 on Google YouTube with my handy Apple iPad? Obviously that's NEVER going to change, so why even worry about it? If that's you asking yourself that right about now Anon, I have just two words for you: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OK, so maybe that's more than two, but I hope you get the point. Leftists and their cancel-culture frenzy won't be satisfied until their snowflake-safespace 'utopias' are literally free of any and every last little crumb of wrongthink. Perfect little infobubbles. Oh, and BTW Anon...The Ministry of Truth and The Ministry of Love would both like to have a word with you about that 'robowaifu' thing of yours, "You got a loicense for that, Mate? It's on un-approved lists, it is." >tl;dr Your favorite channels may not be around forever Anon. Better get 'em now while you still can. --- note: a more recent tutorial is available too (>>16357) --- Alright, enough preaching to the choir here. Maybe like me you've already accumulated your own copies of literally thousands of videos such as these but just in case, how do you go about this yourself if you haven't done? Well for starters if you don't already know about it then run, don't walk, and setup a copy of youtube-dl (**) on your box right now. (1) Then, create a directory to contain all the downloaded video, subtitles, descriptions, and other content for each playlist. A convenient way for a beginner would be to simply copy/paste the naming I use: (*) > #1 #2 Create a new text file in that same directory, named the same as the directory, with the extension .m3u added. > #3 Copy the list text from the codeblock itself and paste it into your new text file > #4 This is the playlist, which you can run with mpv. (2) Open that directory and run the youtube-dl command (posted here in the codeblock related to that playlist). So, for the above example, you'd run this from the terminal: yt-dlp -i --write-description --write-comments --write-auto-sub --sub-lang="en" https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn3ukorJv4vvJM7tvjet4PP-LVjJx13oB It's probably easier on you if you first create a script with the youtube-dl command + the initial 5 (of the 6) params in a script file in your home directory, then just call that from your new playlist's download directory. That's how I do it: > #5 Seems like a lot of work I imagine, but really stuff like this just becomes second nature before long. Do it regularly enough, and soon you too will have an entire library of training resources you can call up in a moment's notice -- and which can't be taken down on you. Cheers, Anon. === ** Note: -As any regular users of youtube-dl already are well-aware, the RI*A's lawyers, in cooperation with M*crosoft's lawyers, set about with a cancel-culture attack against the author of the wonderful youtube-dl tool. Thankfully, there was enough of a pushback against The Globohomo Big-Tech/Gov on that one that M$ actually relented and re-enabled the repo on their absconded-with property, SJWhubGithub. Well enough. But soon thereafter, the author stopped pushing the absolutely-vital patches so his tool would continue working properly (against the intentionally-contrived machinations just-so, of that other Globohomo behemoth, G*ogle). Thankfully, his software was open-sauce and other teams have forked his work. The single best one of these ATM is yt-dlp, and it's effectively a drop-in replacement for youtube-dl (just replace all occurrences of 'youtube-dl' ITT w/ 'yt-dlp', after installation of the latter). So today, run-not-walk and install it instead. Installation and even scripting instructions for it's convenient & privacy-focused use have been provided here (>>16357). Cheers. >t. Chobitsu >--- 1 https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html 2 https://mpv.io/installation/ >* BTW Anon, just in case my writing wasn't clear enough on it in that post; Create one new, separate, directory for each playlist ITT. Any other approach will result in an abominable filepile mess. >=== -add external tools links -add 'yt-dlp' note -use 'yt-dlp' instead -add '--write-comments' flag -adjust new params count -add more-recent crosslink

This here >>13721 is related to Vroid Studio and why it isn't good for modelling body parts for 3D printing. I wonder which other programs won't work for similar reasons. Also, I was impressed with the option of laying out the skin in Vroid Studio. This might be useful for creating some textile part and/or mold for a silicone skin and also adding sensors to it. I only saw this in a video and wonder if that works in other programs as well.

>>13741 The problem of skinning a complex 3D topological shell down into a flat 2D plane is both an interesting one, and one that's important to us here on /robowaifu/ (particularly to say, our papercraft waifu Anons). It's also fairly challenging to do well, as I'm sure our 3D modelling Anons who are doing meticulous UV layouts know right well. However, please do try to avoid the grotesque while you're here Anon, it's not really our thing on /robowaifu/. >=== -minor grammar edit

Focuses on a realistic male body in OpenSCAD, but still interesting: >Carl Davidson edited this page on Dec 4, 2015 >In this tutorial we will show you how to model the human body. This is an ongoing project so make sure to check back for updates. https://github.com/davidson16807/relativity.scad/wiki/Human-Body >We're striving for realism, here - this is not meant to be a mannequin or cartoon character, at least not in its finished form. We will attempt to maintain correct body proportions using a method that's common to classical figure drawing. Bone, muscle, and cartilage will all be present.

> Why choose Bforartists, and not Blender? > An own keymap, which is reduced to just the necessary hotkeys and a navigation that can be purely done by mouse. > Cleaned up User Interface. Lots of unnecessary double, triple or even more identical menu entries removed. > Extended User Interface. Many tools that were formerly hotkey only have a menu entry now. > Rearranged User Interface. Some things are better accessible now, some are not so much in the way anymore. > Improved defaults. > Colored and as double as much icons than Blender. > A configurable toolbar with icon buttons. > A tool shelf with the old tools too, in tabs. > Tabs in the toolshelf. > Improved layouts. > Left aligned checkboxes and text where possible. > Better tooltips. > Better readable standard theme. > Some neat add-ons to improve usability, like the reset 3D View add-on or the Set Dimensions add-on with which you can scale in world coordinates in edit mode. > And lots more small details like not so much confirm dialogs. > A detailed list of the changes can be found in the release notes: www.bforartists.de/wiki/release-notes > But the code is just half of the show. Another important bit are the non code things. > The target audience for Bforartists are hobbyists and indie developers. Blender tries to target professionals. That’s a completely different audience and development target. > We have a better manual. The Blender manual is unsearchable in big parts, has an odd structure, and still relies heavily on the Blender keymap to name just a few flaws. This makes it nearly unusable for users. And that’s why we have rewritten it. With the tools in mind, not the hotkeys. Without odd opinions like Angle based is better than LSCM to unwrap. Without general CG Tutorials for a tool, and forgetting to describe how the tool really works and what it does. And a structure that follows the editors and the menus. https://www.bforartists.de/

>>8469 >>16780 Working on improving my skills today, which might keep the pace of actual modelling still low. I'm still working on this >>19783 but I have to get better at the usage of the program itself, and maybe refacture my code step by step. >OpenSCAD allows you to create three-dimensional models using Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG). The idea is to create complex geometries by combining a limited set of simple basic elements such as spheres, cylinders or boxes - a bit like how you used to play with building blocks as a child. >The special feature of OpenSCAD is that the geometry is specified via a purely textual description and not, for example, by using a pointing device in a graphical editor. This approach predestines OpenSCAD for a whole range of use cases that would be more difficult to implement in systems with a more interactive usage scheme. https://mastering-openscad.eu/buch/introduction/

>>20064 Good luck with your learning efforts, Anon. Thanks for that description, I didn't know the program was text-driven. Neat. I've been thinking about how to go about writing programs that create robowaifu meshes from scratch for Blender. Maybe this would be even simpler to target.

>>20072 >I didn't know the program was text-driven. Okay, I'm surprised by this. I thought you knew about this for years. You answered to my comments about how many lines I wrote to make a model... >>18551

>>20073 Haha, I guess I did already. :P I have a lot on my plate Anon, some things may fall off of it occassionally! :^) Anyway, I'll look into it deeper before too long to examine my point.

I'm planning on ditching windows and I think ill be going with freecad personally. I've read it's not bad at all.

>>23246 >I'm planning on ditching windows Good luck! I've ditched the habit for several years now. I have to use macOS in school, but other than that I use Linux predominately. OpenBSD is on one of my machines and I tinker with it when building software. >feelsgud pic related

>>23249 yeah linux has caught up by a lot by now really. You can even run fusion 360 on wine technically and windows just made a mess of things with that onedrive thing that's forced upon users and then I told people about my file explorer freezing and they suggested I install midnight commander or something and at that point Im just like you know what I want to get some stuff done lol. I also read blender is more performant on linux and that might be the case for freecad as well idk.

>>23361 Thanks, but reading the intro, it's once again based on a man. I hate agreeing with feminists, but using men as the standard human is a big problem for us now. That's why we have such a hard time finding skeleton models and measurements for females.

>>4756 from 4chan(thanks to the link) facial expressions and emotions

Guide to drawing the body 4chan this is a great thread on 4chan https://boards.4channel.org/3/thread/561987/introduction-and-guide I don't know how many of these I should upload. Nice to have them here but I don't want to fill the board up. Maybe just a few good ones.

Wish there was more female stuff

>>23363 >>23364 >>23364 >>23366 Thanks, this might be useful.

>>23375 I hate to say this but really this licensing thing for the 3d model for example the one being used at the maidcom project and found elsewhere is too much of a liability. Why are there no mit license 3d models, even the paid ones have preconditions, editorial license, I'm tired of reading this stuff really. I think i'll try making it from scratch. Even vroid studio models have copyrights holy hell.

bump, learn solidworks or freecad so you can contribute.

Nice thread-related from our friends at /agdg/ : https://anon.cafe/agdg/res/642.html#642

There needs to be a new 3d model of the outer shell from scratch because all the stuff out there has some sort of license with preconditions. Is anybody willing to help?

>>23572 There's probably thousands of permissively-licensed models of all types out there Anon. I'd suggest you keep looking. You'll find something I'm sure. >Is anybody willing to help? Once I begin modelling, all my work (as usual) will be the highly-permissive MIT license. They will likely be quite modest works, but you & everyone else will be perfectly free to do anything you want with them all.

>>23572 I'm kinda working on one, long term. Look into the prototyping threads. I didn't decide for a licence now, just putting the (OpenScad) code out from time to time. My goal is a framework where one can change the body, while it shows if it works with the intended actuators and other features. (Don't hold your breath.) Based on that, I'm wondering why do you even bother. Just use a model you have available and try what you want to do. Your whole approach needs to be flexible enough to adapt to changes to the body anyways, or you are doing it wrong, imo. That said, I realized more and more that many parts only require scaling, not huge modifications. When I started I thought I should do everything in OpenScad because I can't import and modify STL files, but that has changed during the last few years. So some model of each body part would be very helpful. Did you look into the 3D model platforms like Thingyverse and the one from Prusa. I liked a lot of them in some thread a while ago, I think in the 3D modelling thread? Or printing? Have to look. Just look for models in maybe a rather neutral pose where you can cut things out, then stitch them together in some program and model the rest.

>>23572 >>23583 >outer body shape I thought about this again. A good approach would be to make a list of body parts with an estimate how much they need to be modifiable. It will be easier to make the parts which only need scaling in something like Blender. We might even be able to cut them out from existing models. If not, then they could be imported and a similar design could be made after that pattern. We can of course argue about my estimates. I assume human equivalent parts, something more robot like is a mod based on that. Just to understand that scaling means X/Y/Z scaling is enough change to use it in different designs, while bigger mods are dependent on taste and also dependent on internal designs. So, here we go... - Hands/Feet: Should be modifiable but a general design would be good for most cases. - Lower arms: Scaling is imo enough - Lower legs: Some modding would be good but could be added to an existing design. - Upper arms: Some modding would be good but optional and could be added to an existing design. - Chest: I had quite some problems to get this right, but might try again in some time. Having a standard one which could be scaled would help enormously. - Face: Will need individual mods, but one standard design would help a lot. - Hips and Bottom: Will require a lot of modding. - Neck: We might get away with scaling - Thighs: Will require individual modding - Knees/Elbows: More complex than it appears first. Lets hope scaling is enough. Conclusion: If you want faster progress, find or make the parts which can be used by many devs because they can be scaled to fit into a model.

>>23609 Nice list NoidoDev. Good work. :^)

>>23609 Its just that I want to get a patent eventually and I've read the patent process is very long and they're very picky. Its fine really, its just a generic animu doll model, shouldn't take more than a couple of weeks. If it was something like an animal or dragon I'd be less willing to give it a try.

>>23609 Related: >>23646 I also thought I posted this before, about leg to body ratios: https://archive.fo/nBNMg from a site called Magnumworkshop (can't get past the cookie wall). I was searching for the relation between thigh and lower leg in males vs females, to avoid making a mistake. I might look later into that, my design looks clearly feminine enough.

>>23649 Makehumans has a smoothing option, with that the STL exports look way better. Of course, for our needs we don't export cloth or hair.

>>23654 For some reason this program is very intriguing... I reduced the muscle mass from 81% to around 50, but made the thighs a bit stronger to account for it, and reduced the proportions from near max a little bit down. Not sure which one is better, but I think the more recent one. Grabbing screenshots doesn't work for some reason, it has too many errors. I have to do it through my desktop screenshot tool.

Here's the files for the model I'm working on. Posting in this thread as it's designed to be a generic base for anyone to use and may help Anon further their design and training. https://thingiverse.com/thing:6102454 https://www.printables.com/model/516845-free-4ft-doll

>>23655 Cutting works. But don't export it with eyebrows and stuff if you want to keep the head. It somehow is left over. Also interesting that it shows the mouth cavity, and the footprint was left behind, lol. >>23656 >as it's designed to be a generic base for anyone to use and may help Anon further their design and training. Yes, thanks.

>>23656 Thanks Kiwi! I'm assuming the buldges at the joints (her ankle, say) is intended as a volumetric mockup for actuator drive housing/casing ?

>>23658 >and the footprint was left behind, lol. Lol. I wonder why?

>>23661 >>and the footprint was left behind, lol. >Lol. I wonder why? Oh, this is not a mystery, just a bit funny and might actually be useful. I just had to move the box I used for the cut via difference() a little bit down, then it's gone. It wasn't covered by the negative so to speak.

>>23656 NICE!

>openscad just looked into it. lol, lmao even. Why would you guys do this? Use freecad or solidworks.

>>23669 Because one can change parts by changing some variables in code.

Someone who's better in math and OpenScad solved a problem of mine: Making perforated cylinders. I drove the concept a bit further and made an assembly of more than one where they also morph in every step. Not finished yet, though. I really need to get started on learning Geometry in the Brilliant app. Didn't pay attention to anything in school. Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/openscad/comments/13th9c8/comment/jlw9gfa/ >>23658 I also worked a bit on compartmentalizing body parts. I found out that actually it's not a good idea to think the boobs can be modded easily in OpenScad with some value. Making a diff between two bodies, one with some and one with no boobs, shows that there's of course some additional connective elements aside from the boobs themselves.

>>23649 Reminder to myself: We have a whole thread on body proportions here >>14388

>>23770 Here's an address for a mass of books on OpenScad. You might could breeze through the indexes when you are doing stuff. http://libgen.rs/search.php?req=OpenScad&lg_topic=libgen&open=0&view=simple&res=25&phrase=1&column=def BTW that model looks great. Really good. Is it done all in OpenScad???

>>23790 >We have a whole thread on body proportions here >>14388 Thanks for the timely reminder Anon. Currently investigating just that.

Working on how to cut a full scale model into parts that can be used to recreate the whole body again. I keep them at a printable size on a small printer (circa 23x23x25 like the Genius). Then I can work on how to modify these parts a bit. But, also how to make these placeholders into parts that can be constructed out of various smaller elements with various origins and made out of different materials.

>>23660 You are correct, I'm working on spherical actuators that should be scalable for use as a universal robotics joint. >>23843 For such a large 3D printed structure, I recommend you tie them together, similar to some sets of armor. 3D prints suffer from lower dimensional accuracy, which is why I try to print things as solid parts to reduce to reduce cumulative errors. In manufacturing, when dealing with guaranteed loose tolerances, using a flexible or elastic mating feature makes life easier. Just make everything hollow and put holes where mating features would be and use some kind of string or elastic to tie things together. This will help with durability and repairs as well.

>>23844 >For such a large 3D printed structure, I recommend you tie them together, ... Thanks, but I don't think these parts will actually be parts on their own in that sense. I just use that as a basis, so I don't end up with some element to big to print. To some extend I just want a model where I can move parts around and work on the internals.

>>23846 Do you mean you're experimenting in CAD to figure out integration of components before designing anything to actually print?

>>23847 >you're experimenting in CAD to figure out integration of components before designing anything to actually print? Not sure if I completely understand the question, but I think the answer is yes. Why would I just 3D print that body in plastic and use ties to bind them together? I mean, would be a nice side project for having a plastic mannequin, but then I could glue it anyways. I need these parts as a way of compartmentalizing the work. Of course some parts might be bigger anyways, I won't just cut the bones to the size of these parts. I just made them into the size to be printable since I was at it anyways, and it might be useful in some cases.

>>23844 >I'm working on spherical actuators that should be scalable for use as a universal robotics joint. Godspeed, Kiwi. >>23849 Nice list NoidoDev, thanks.

I think this CAD got missed BRL-CAD. It's a big one. The longest running continuously improved software suite that is pen sourced. Created by the US military because they needed it to prototype weapons and all the stuff needed to prosecute war. A lot of plug-ins for all sorts of stuff. Has scripting, 3D modeling and much more. https://brlcad.org/

>>23889 >I think this CAD got missed BRL-CAD. I think you may be right. I don't think I've heard of it before.

>>23889 I should'be pointed out the term "programmatic" more strongly. It's not a list of all CAD programs, only the ones where the design is being done writing code (like in OpenScad).

>>23891 >I don't think I've heard of it before I can't remember where I heard of it BRL-CAD. Maybe hackaday.com? It is scriptable by feeding it command lines from any programming language. While not sure I don't think it has a DSL like language built into it like OpenScad. It does have major industrial tools as part of it. All sort of tools to analyze things you design. Not necessarily needed for prototyping but it could be used to seriously finalize a design by testing in software first. The military built this in the first place to design, test and keep track of large projects. I linked a document on BRL-CAD that talks about some of it's features and highlights areas they want the open source community to help with. oops file too big link below, https://brlcad.org/HACKING_BRL-CAD.pdf There's two more I heard about I think from HackADay. https://rapcad.org/ The guy was using OpenScad on his rep-rap and found things he thought inconsistent and he felt the lower level parts were not "extendable or had enough version control". Not sure if he was successful or not. He uses OpenScad commands with some extensions. Site with github link there. https://rapcad.org/ Blog https://gilesbathgate.com/category/rapcad/ one more "...OpenSCAD is great, we use it all the time round these parts, but it is a bit, you know, weird in places. Then along comes CadQuery, and blows it out of the water ease-of-use and functionality wise..." https://hackaday.com/2022/02/04/cadquery-comes-of-age/ "...The goal is to have the CadQuery script that produces this object be as close as possible to the English phrase a human would use..." Hmm...may be really useful. These are all geometric based and programmable.

>>23897 That's all very interesting, but so far I didn't even get more than started to use the BOSL2 library on OpenScad which is highly recommended. > All sort of tools to analyze things you design. This could be very useful. I'm currently working on getting the magnetic parts of the female pelvis from Thingyverse oriented correctly (picrel), so I have something to work with. Not really 3D design right now, just trying to figure out the values to make the STL files fit together. I need to have a simplified model later. I also should go on working on my simple-body waifu, but something annoyed me, so I don't want to right now.

>>23897 >brlcad > All sort of tools to analyze things you design. Couldn't find this on a fast glance in the documentation. But I found out that importing most files is difficult: https://brlcad.org/wiki/Tutorial/Blender_to_CAD - This is often the issue with different CAD programs. They use different file formats and widespread export formats are not always supported for importing into another program. >rapcad Looks like OpenScad but doesn't explain how it relates to it on their Github page. I don't know why I would use that.

>>23897 Thanks Grommet! More info is always appreciated. Cheers. :^)

>>23903 "tools" >But I found out that importing most files is difficult Many docs page. There's a lot. It's not a simple thing. It grew for decades from specialized programs used for the military. One of their goals of open sourcing seems to be to try and simplify the user experience. Lots of docs. https://brlcad.org/docs/ on this page it shows "some" of the tools and "some" formats it can translate, search down to chapter 5. https://brlcad.org/~nouhrasofat/books/en/BRL-CAD_Tutorial_Series-VolumeI.php#toolsutilities (a particularly interesting one that I do not know how to get the software open source..yet, is, JACK (the human factors model for doing workload/usability studies). It models moving humans for fitting vehicles, clothes, whatever. The reason to use BRL-CAD is it's serious industrial strength tools. So if you want to do heavy analysis of structures, that's what it's for. For throwing together basic models, maybe not optimal. But if you have a model to work with it could be used to analyse it. It does moments of inertia and a lot of stuff. >rapcad >Looks like OpenScad but doesn't explain how it relates to it on their Github page. I don't know why I would use that. The documentation is kind of odd. "...Regarding the manual url, it only works when the documentation is compiled, the asciidoc file becomes an html file. The source for the manual is here: https://github.com/GilesBathgate/RapCAD/blob/master/doc/manual.asciidoc" So you have to compile the manual. Not optimal. To find out why you would use it is in the blog.

>>23897 Here's an example for BRL-CAD that was found and linked by the guy who wrote RapCAD https://brlcad.org/wiki/SGI_Cube

>>23921 >An assortment of geometric converters to convert to and/or from other geometry formats, including Euclid, ACAD, AutoCAD DXF, TANKILL, Wavefront OBJ, Pro/ENGINEER, JACK (the human factors model for doing workload/usability studies), Viewpoint Data Lab, NASTRAN, Digital Equipment's Object File Format (OFF), Virtual Reality Mark-up Language (VRML), Stereo Lithography (STL), Cyberware Digitizer data, and FASTGEN4. >serious industrial strength tools. So if you want to do heavy analysis of structures, that's what it's for. Thanks, I might look into this one day. From the tools it supports at least JACK could be interesting, and STL and AutoCAD are also covered. Tools in general to convert between formats are interesting, even without using this program for anything else. Though I would like other Foss devs to re-use such code in their programs then, maybe making it into a independent library first. >>23923 A lot of it seems to relate to robotics, but this seems to relate rather to OpenRAVE: https://scaron.info/robotics/kinematics-jargon.html https://scaron.info/robotics/kinematics-of-a-symmetric-leg.html https://scaron.info/category/robotics.html Talks: https://scaron.info/category/talks.html Also lead me to this: >Choreonoid Official Site > Choreonoid is an open-source integrated GUI software for robots. It is being developed by Shin’ichiro Nakaoka et al of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in Japan. https://choreonoid.org/en/ Certainly a lot to look into, but I bookmarked it mostly, since I won't get into walking right now.

>>23924 >JACK could be interesting I think JACK is a bust. I thought I could find source for it but I'm beginning to think it is not available. That scaron stuff looks interesting.

>>23924 >https://choreonoid.org/en/ I like how they're working towards standards on the related topics. Thanks Anon.

>>23901 Got started with the remodeling in OpenScad. It's already the second attempt. Picrel 3 shows the idea of making a cylinder and then subtract what I don't need, while the newer approach is mainly re-creating one area at the time. Of course also with some subtractions to get holes into it.

This channel has a lot of good models of objects which look like made out of stings. I think he's using nTopology. It also features some bones, including spines. https://www.youtube.com/@DaveMakesStuffBC/videos https://www.thingiverse.com/DaveMakesStuff

>>24437 Are you using nTop or another program to get a topology? Meshmixer? Not sure if it works in Blender.

>>24444 Still working on things. Yes, I have only gotten good results from Meshmixer. I tried this technique awhile ago and can say that my attemps in Blender failed. I'm sure it's possible in other programs, Meshmixer is the best for me thus far. Here's a quick tutorial. 1. Simplify topology. You want a simple continuous open mesh. For this leg section, I use the plane cut to seperate my wanted section. Then the select tool to select and delete extra polygons. 2. Edit -> Align 3. Edit -> Unwrap 4. Set parameters as in picrel 5. 5. Delete original part. 6. Select -> Double click to select all -> Edit -> Extrusion (or press "D") 7. Set part thickness. 8. Export as a format your slider can use. I suggest .obj. 9. Set top and bottom layers to 0 and play with infill however you like. Picrel 8 are my recommendations. I use 6 perimeters for plenty of space to staple into. End result is printed faster with much better surface finish. Surprisingly more durable compared to normal due to alignment of layer lines. Works best with firmer TPU (90A+) from my limited experminents.

>>24468 >>24469 Many thanks, I downloaded it. I will try to get it running in Wine or Wine-based software, it most likely will work fine.

>>24444 So this here >>24392 worked quite nicely. Way better than anticipated and better than the preview indicated, though it also took a few days. I'm sure they check the files manually and make sure the results are good. Now I just have to find a way to handle GLB files.

>>24479 The actual files look way worse, but I can at least do some experiments with them. I cut the head in half and managed to make the mirror looking okay. I hollowed out the eyes, need to remove the ears and already experimented with using the head to model a better version myself. Note for the future: Try to remove the eyelashes from the picture, since the 3D AI model creates a bump on the sides because of them.

>>26564 Haha. I think this would please /kong/. :^) Blender has really come a long way in the last 4 or 5 years. It's world class competition for the big, expensive systems today.

>>26573 I just ran across this today. I didn't know that blender could do clay molding(what can this program not do?). I read about another program that used this but it's closed pay. That blender can do this is fantastic. Here's a link with a very short explanation. I do not know how accurate it is or if you can get the basic shape then smooth it. The benefits seem obvious. Most of us are not artist, in the classically trained sense But if you could use a clay like interface and push, mold and add, and even more important, take away, AND undo when you screw it up. Well you could put a picture on one tab and bounce back and forth to blender and create some really good stuff right away. I hear that blender has added a lot of cad features so you can add dimensions. Surely there's a way once you get a good model you could export it to a program that would set it up to 3D print. My main thinking about this is shells of bodies, bones, or other structures that could be printed then use the prints as molds to cast parts. https://howchoo.com/windows/how-to-sculpt-in-blender/ While I was looking for the program I found a link that I had saved of a person who did 3D clay CAD type modeling that has a link to a free one. You should look at her work. It's very good. And she's doing this with stuff you can get for free. https://stephaneginier.com/ Some combination of this sort of stuff might greatly speed up modeling. Imagine all the unbelievable work to model all the elements of a human in a vector based or traditional CAD. A LOT. If you could just push the 3D clay around. Seems much easier.

>>27008 I looked further from the link https://stephaneginier.com/ and found this guy has been working on this stuff for a decade??? He has come up with some next generation super freak wild stuff. He's making this software for himself so you get not much in the way of docs and mostly videos of him quickly manipulating. He's using really advanced software algorithms.

For those of you that do not know how to use freecad. Here is a simple challenge. Make a box. The way you'd go about is by making two cubes, then you'd change the size of one so the dimensions are say 1mm smaller on all sides, right click transform and maybe move it up 1 mm. Then select both boxes and click cut. Now again that is a basic example and I'm by no means an expert. If you save it as an stl file and then put it on cura you can then 3d print it as well.
