Re: how do you create tilable textures for uneven floor tiles not all the same dimensions?

z fighting will be seen when two parallel planes are very close together. you wont see it where less than parallel planes intersect. so you can have the ground intersect with buildings and you will not see zfighting there.

in general you'll be best off to not try and solve problems until you have directly encountered them yourself. if you hear about some problems indirectly and then try to prevent them before you actually understood them directly, you'll likely create more problems for yourself in the process of trying to work around something you don't actually understand.

Some criticism on my new passion model

I'm really tired of making this one beacuse I have absolutely no motivation to make this because it seriously serves zero purpose, I'd do comissions for free just to have some motivation on my back pocket but I can't seem to find anyone.

Also don't dunk me for having bad topo, this is the FIRST time I've done subd
I know the stock has horrible density and reductions in places there shouldn't be, I dunno why I did it like that.
You can kind of tell it's my first time doing subd by the bullets, I didn't you could just subd octagons to make quad circles, you know?

Other than that it's a 25mm sniper rifle, magazine holds 3 bullets each, bullets are almost twice the size of a 50 BMG

I'm aware that this is still half-complete (you can tell by the details and me using chalk style.) But I'm saying this again, passion projects are dread for me. Not for a friend or someone, just because I started it.

PLEASE give me advice much appreciated 🙏🙏🙏

Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | September - October (92)

Hello! I'm joining a bit late on this one, and only had this weekend to work on it since I'm pretty busy with work. I spent most of saturday modeling and uv-ing, and most of today was high poly and texturing. I used some techniques I learned from my last job, adding 'floater' geometry over the mesh, to avoid having to do any booleans and such for the high poly detail. I also removed some panels as it didn't make sense for some of the drawers to exist in certain areas. The texturing could use so much more work and love, and I wish I had the time to do so. They same very flat, and don't pop too much, but I also feel as though it's because I haven't been able to model objects outside that of real-world objects, so I'm not used to get the colors and materials just right. But yah, I hope I get to do another one of these at some point next year!

great work man

Early Weapon Development, the top being the original blockout, and the following two being the development that followed.
The design is a sword that extends into a partisan, featuring blades that extend outwards in a scissoring motion to form a pickaxe shape for armour penetration and climbing, and propellant (either a gun with lots of kickback or a rocket (most likely a rocket) ) for more powerful thrusting and mobility)

I posted more images in artstation: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/1NLJro

Now the plan is to do a course to practice even more and learn new things, I want to create a character that needs the use of hair cards next.

Re: Trying to improve likeness sculpting

I was looking at Amelia Rowcrofts process videos, she has her own likeness tutorials on her website. I noticed how little she adjusts the features back and forth after the initial foundation, so her method of measuring the face must be really solid with how little is being adjusted at later stages

eg. from this stage to this, the features seemingly aren't being adjusted

another example, see how from the 4th pic every remains in place, I wonder how much experimentation she does like if she tested the measurements out before this final sculpt

You probably seen all these already but to bunch a topic together with link and info i feel works great when people in the "future" search this matter out:

Artstation: click numbers#
1. guide
2. likeness search tutorials

youtube:
1 in-depth
2. lots here

The 1st linked guide is what i really wanted to share i remember this or something similar where someone went through the processes to make any face and AnatomyForSculptors goes over the "fat" distribution "guide" that could also be helpful.

aye-eye convo was mentioned so i touched on the topics spoken of: so o/t.
Just my .02's on this aye-eye situation everyone loves so much, it will hinder you if one day you do not have access to that content or its paywall-ed and you find yourself with less currency to play with or one of the many other possibilities. There is also, Hey"parent" how do you do this thing? we'll child let's ask the robotic computer for help, oh you do not know how to do this thing? then imagine that for actually important functions of society, then we have a problem or at least they will when and or if we get there.

I really like the first guide definitely lots of useful tips and their work is amazing.
The whole spotlight method interests me cause it'd be great if it was just as simple as align your mesh to a good front and side reference photo.
Breaking down the face before you sculpt it such as going into photoshop overlaying different reference seeing how they match up, measuring/estimating overall distance from chin to mouth, nose to eyes, forehead to hairline, and doing silhouettes and outline drawings of the head/features to understand the shapes before diving right in to sculpting has helped me
