We have animation software that's 3d. The OG one I use is mmd but there is also koikatsu Chara studio with the timeline feature which is what I feel like getting into apart from live2d to make animations. Share tutorials or helpful tips on such software or even some user created animations for inspiration. 
Chara studio tumeline feature.

I have Blender. 
Chara Stdio doesn't sound like free software.
If it is, then I'll take a look at it later.
But I doubt it can rival our supreme swiss army knife Blender.

It's really just comes down to preference when priracy is a thing.
mmd is my bae but I won't deny the superior quality of foss software with the functional standpoint. Just don't really see any assets that interest me and I'm bad at 3d design, I'm better at a graphics tablet than making a model from scratch in blender.

i was bored yesterday and fucked around with blender for the first time. pic related was the best i could do in 20 minutes of trying to figure out the keybinds. got the model off smutbase and it was already rigged up and everything so it felt like cheating, however i could also see how easy it would be to throw some poses around and start a patreon around it even more so if it's futashit, people will pay out the ass for that

>install Blender 4 on debian

>requires ROCm
>ROCm 6 doesn't support latest Debian, but debs say it will in next release
>ROCm 6.1 comes out
>still doesn't support Debian
linux is pain
but otherwise i'm going through the donut tutorial and its going ok but when he's talking about moving faces along other faces it's not working right, i have everything setup the same way but it distorts the whole geometry when I try to move anything. probably just some dumb glitch though.

My advice would be to install flatpak, and flatpak's version of blender or swap your packages to the unstable branch if you're on a debian-based distro.

Debian is so iron-hard-stability-focused that it's packages are often years out of date.

turns out i'm retarded, i installed HIP from my package manager and it just works (was looking for ROCm packages instead of HIP, which is what blender uses for acceleration) even though it's one version below what Blender says it requires.
amd is still nowhere near as good as nvidia with cuda, sadly

>amd is still nowhere near as good as nvidia with cuda
Yea that really sucks.
Still going with amd in my future new build though. Nvidia is overpriced.

>Nvidia is overpriced.
In what world? I got an "equivalent" Nvidia card to replace my AMD card and it runs better, cooler, and quieter (and isn't as big and heavy) for only about $30 more than the current going price of AMD, all at the cost of having a slightly less streamlined and more hands-on initial setup experience in Linux.

>>1969
I honestly have not used my GPU for any new games. It's a 5700 XT (roughly equivalent to a 2070) and I only use it for my three monitors, gamedevving (in 2D), and maybe running Blender once a year. Otherwise it's all for old games that run without issue.
I also think raytracing is a buzzword and not worth buying a behemoth of a card for.

Got some cool blender resources for you guys.

This playlist is an absolutely-amazing resource on character creation.

>it felt like cheating
Three years repsonse, but still, I get what you mean, It's okay to use premades and auto-rigs. The biggest illusion of 3D modelling and animating is "that it's easier and faster than 2D,". It's not, it's just as hard. Some things are easier, but other are harder, and using assets and libraries is not cheating.

Also, personally, when it comes to animation and rigged resources, I prefer a well-done rig rather than something that uses mustardui or a bunch of annoying plugins. A lot of Smutbase creators for some reason just can't not use scripts or plugins, and shit that should be simple just isn't.

>>1775
On other distros, you'd have to use distrobox if your particular distro doesn't have ROCm. I had to do that with mine.

Thanks, Anon! Cheers.  :)
