Tits Life is Strange double exposure Art blast
The teams at Deck nine were planning to do a group art blast for the release of Life is Strange double exposure.
Unfortunately this is no longer happening so this will be my solo art blast haha.
it.s been a while polycount :-)
Cheers to the lovely talented character team at D9 who continue to support all of my character after my departure all the way until the game shipped.

Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | September - October (92)
I love your wood texture omgraphadont said:First time doing this challenges... I decided to handpaint the wheelcart.
I still think it needs a lot of work, some areas out of the shot are not even painted... some parts are too busy, I really wanted to repaint the golden parts too, and equalize better the surface and its colors, but I'll be away for the rest of the month so I had to call it done.

Stylized stone floor material. I finally wanted to make some stylized stuff for my portfolio. All SD and Marmo.

Re: [3DS Max] - Straighten UV's Problem
I fully agree with Kanni3d & Klunk, both on methods explained and how these are standards when it comes to manually unwrap your UVs. Like, it's normal to spend more time on things that can't be automated.
The RizomUV result is quite poor for two reasons :
- center edges are messed up (=will need later select>relax>straighten)
- external app means more clicks. Always a thing you want to reduce and a problem if you need to do that on several models or refine the model's topology for some reasons
On 3dsmax you can also rely on the Peel mode, this one allows you to view unfold in realtime depending on pinned vertices, it starts with two, but you can add more simply by selct+drag them around and see how it behaves best.
Another way to do that would be using the projection method, I did that to project UVs from a flat model onto a more detailed one :

Re: [Finished] Inventor character (3D)
Finished the prop quite quickly! Made a high poly sculpt in Zbrush, did some retopo and textured it within Substance Painter. Overall little issues and got it done pretty fast. I did have to take some creative liberties regarding the design though, because it was hard to figure out some of the perspectives of its parts. In the end I think it still resembles the prop enough to match the character!

Re: How The F*#% Do I Model This? - Reply for help with specific shapes - (Post attempt before asking)
@Stoicx93 Welcome to Polycount. Consider checking out the forum information and introduction thread.
Adding parallel support loops down the middle of the guitar body will sharpen the inside corner of the recessed surface but will likely produce a smoothing artifact on the outside curve. There's a couple of different ways to handle topology routing around cut outs on curved surfaces but it's generally considered best practice to adjust the segment count along the curve to support the shape intersection.
It may be possible to cut in some additional curve segments and manually reroute the topology on the existing model but it's probably faster and easier to just redo the entire block out. Keep the topology relatively simple and focus on capturing the larger shapes first. Create curves with enough segments to support any intersecting shapes or cut outs. Consider adding the larger round overs as part of the block out geometry. This will make it easier to capture some of the shape transitions near the edge of the milled pocket for the guitar's neck.
Here's an example of what an iterative block out process could look like. Create the basic profile of the guitar body then add the round overs and use a boolean operation to cut out the neck pocket. Modifier based bevel / chamfer operations can make it easier to adjust the number of segments in the curves so the edges line up as support for the intersecting boolean meshes. Remember to use the existing segments of the curved surfaces as part of the support geometry around the shape intersection that defines the neck pocket.
Clean up around the boolean operation then cut in any additional support loops required for the smaller details. Try to solve most of the basic loop flow issues before adding the support loops and use the existing geometry in the shapes to help define the loop paths. This iterative approach to blocking out the shapes will generally make the modeling process a lot easier.
Final support loops can be added to the edges that define the shapes using a simple bevel / chamfer operation or modifier. The subdivision preview below shows how the existing geometry of the curve supports the intersecting shape and guides the topology flow around the mesh.
Recap: Focus on blocking out the shapes first and try to use the existing geometry of curved surfaces as part of the support loop paths around shape intersections.
