Re: Sketchbook: Rima
Continuing focusing on the planes and construction a bit. Spent entirely too long on this torso; I'm extremely rusty at them, and I was never really much good at them in the first place, so it took a long time for what it is. It's a bit of Bammes, and a bit of my own observation. I can probably get away with simplifying the back a little more than I have, honestly; I tried marking out the trapezius' lower section, but somehow I feel like it doesn't quite work. I should probably also remember to mark that crease under the shoulderblades that you get from the serratus pushing up the latissimus dorsi. I could get away without it, but I like it and it's good to remember. I think I'll try doing a more muscular reference for the next torso; this guy was relatively normal, which is good for practicing standard types, but more exaggerated forms might be a bit reference for now.

Re: [Finished] Saxon
Thanks everyone! 
AlPol said:Amazing work! Could you please explain how you achieved the fabric pills effect? I'm guessing it's baked pilling textures scattered across his clothing using a particle system?
This was achieved using lots of alpha cards scattered over the mesh. You could also use groom to achieve the same (and probably better) effect
marmo_arts said:Can't stop looking at this piece! How did you achieve this effect, any specific brush and technique?
I used a generic skin texture and scaled it down vertically so it gave the impression of cracked and bent leather. I used it in conjunction with morph targets so i can fade it off
I built it myself, I just used a lot of spotlights and some simple boxes to fake the impression of light streaming in through cracked roof wood panels. It was a lot of trial and error really!
Here are some of my key references

Re: Cloth folds topology help
you have the right idea. If the cavities are too deep, I'd rework the highpoly so it bakes better. If you're working with subdivision levels it'll make reducing cavities even easier while preserving folds and wrinkles.
I would add more polys here, or rework the highpoly so you can retopo it flatter

Re: Looking for a guide to Unreal Engine............
Stick with the official epic docs to start with - youtube is full garbage tier videos by self professed experts with no idea what they're talking about.
I've never tried this one but it looks official so won't be awful

The "how to build a game" question cannot be answered unless you know what kind of game it is, which platform you're targeting and what your resources/budget are.

Re: Maya do not working move tool with vertexes edges
Reseting the tool can also fix issues like that too. Go to the tools properties and there will be a reset button. The issue might be on the transform itself, always a good idea to reset it too.

Working on replicating a scene from Trench Crusade in UE 5, most fun I've had modeling in ages. If you want to check the journey so far, I've started posting in this thread

Re: [WIP] "Retro" Bedroom
I have a couple of the hero props created first, mostly to figure out the style I wanted to go with and to get some practice with environment storytelling.
The first is this Stratocaster that's actually based on the one I own lol. Wanted to look like it's been well worn with missing parts and lotsa scuffs and damage. And of course give it a couple of stickers for aesthetics XD
the entertainment shelf took way longer than I thought it would. Still not completely happy with the amount of clutter on it, and it's probably too big in retrospect. Still I can always add more clutter and adjust things, will wait to mess with that until after I get everything else in
can see more renders and the viewer files on my folio:
guitar
shelf

BRAWL2 [Vehicle] Bull Dust, sacboi [Tribute]
I'll grab some insight from this pic of an aussie outback classic "Bull/Buffalo Catcher" for use on my own Mad Max/Dystopian design - lol might even add some sort of trailer too.
My entry is just a thanks of gratitude, to all those hard surface artists that inspired me over the years with kickass art so many cheers. Aside from military sims/shooters also liked playing open world survival games their similarity of aesthetic really caught my attention, for instance DAYZ, Rust or TLOU which usually turns out to be pretty fun engaging sessions especially when playing with mates.
At the moment still sorting through specs I'll work under probably in a weeks time will have something nailed down, anyway will try to push myself with this project and see what comes of it.
