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 ~~MasturBationLAB~~ManuelBastioniLAB as the starting point for my designs. --- Saving everything with yt-dlp (>>16357, >>12247) >=== -re-purpose OP for DCC consolidation -add yt-dlp crosslink

>>36185 >This looks great but it's not clear to me if you can input many different pictures taken from different angles and then have it stitch those into a 3D object OR if it just uses one picture. >>36294 If you can run a model locally there are extensions/other models which allow for multi angled pictures to be used for generation. (Zero123++, InstantMesh Reconstruction, Unique3D, etc) https://github.com/MrForExample/ComfyUI-3D-Pack https://comfyuiweb.com/posts/best-3d-models-with-comfyui probably can find huggingface spaces of these models, idk haven't checked.

>>36304 Thanks, Axial! At some point hopefully before long, I'd like to begin modelling dear Sumomo-chan for design production. I have plenty of references for her, but if I could use AI to generate the basic mesh that would be a big help to kickstart the overall effort. I'm sure it will need re-topo'g (after all I want to animate it as a virtual daughteru first before the physical model), but still a nice headstart. >>36298 >Yes, it exports GLB files, which I used before. I don't remember the exact way, but they can be used in OpenScad and surely even more certainly in Blender. Great, thanks NoidoDev! That's really good to hear, and looking forward to seeing whatever you manage to do with this going forward. <---> Thanks for any tips and advice along the way, Anons! Cheers. :^) >=== -sp, minor edit -add'l resp

I went on playing a bit with Hunyuan 3D >>36287, trying out the textures. It makes things look better. That said, I doubt that this is going to work for importing it into 3D modelling, since this is just a texture. For our main usecase of robowaifus only the White Meshes matter, imo. Still good to see how things progress, and it's good for content production and maybe also for some AI driven animated girlfriend app,

NoidoDev ##pTGTWW 02/02/2025 (Sun) 21:24:53 No.36413

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.

NoidoDev ##pTGTWW 02/03/2025 (Mon) 05:26:06 No.36435

>>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

Chobitsu 02/03/2025 (Mon) 06:53:04 No.36436

Splendid research, NoidoDev. I hope I can sit down with this tool myself to get it running and do some of my own experiments with it for Sumomo-chan. Cheers. :^)

>>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. ????

Barf 02/04/2025 (Tue) 15:27:36 No.36530

>>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.

Chobitsu 02/04/2025 (Tue) 21:59:03 No.36548

>>36530 POTD Excellent resource, Barf. Have you been able to find any security issues with the tool's use yet? Cheers, Anon. :^)

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

>>36527 > The last set looks alien. AHHHHH! That's the ones with big eyes and more anime-like looks. I especially like the ones here on the right >>36412, if I try it again then to get something like this but without the hair. >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. ???? 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.

Barf 02/05/2025 (Wed) 00:16:01 No.36556

>>36551 I just installed that and got the text to 3D working. Here's the first output using same prompt as Noido using the lowest ram option

NoidoDev ##pTGTWW 02/05/2025 (Wed) 02:18:22 No.36566

>>36556 That's very good news. Though, obviously the prompt following seems to be more lacking (she has hair and small eyes). I would need to see more examples to know if that's consistent.

Barf 02/05/2025 (Wed) 03:54:08 No.36567

>>36566 I used same prompt on huggingface and got same result you did. I matched up seed, guidance scale and inference steps but still got hair on local low VRAM model even at 48GB System Ram and 12GB VRAM. Here's another example with trying to shorten prompt but needs more work. Still pretty good for 6GB VRAM instead of 24GB I think

Chobitsu 02/05/2025 (Wed) 04:19:22 No.36568

>>36556 >>36567 Neat! Thanks for the encouraging update Anon. Looking forward to seeing what all everyone accomplishes with this image-generation tool. I'm also planning to experiment with Janus-Pro as well ( >>36222 ), since it's opensource & offline-capable. Cheers. :^)

>>36567 Yeah, pretty good. I can't stop laughing. But yeah, generally it's still good of course. Just, especially for those who like big eye brows or coneheads.

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? Please let us know what you find out, Anon! Cheers. :^)
