We can transfer normals, weight them, and that's already super cool ! haven't you answered your own question? ..... it's not painting the normals as such but you could create a "coarse" mesh, cage as it were, and use that with "transfer normals" to perturb the normal on the target mesh ?
Welcome to Polycount! The best thing for you would probably be for you to make a new Topic in 3D Art Showcase & Critiques and put your reference images, plus post your current 3d model effort. People could give you targeted feedback there, and you could post new screenshots of the improved model for more feedback, rinse…

@Vexod14 that's part of why I want to build something, I wanted to go back to Zbrush and didn't have a license, I never bought a persistent one, I just had them from work but that changed eventually. I couldn't go sculpt for then fun. I couldn't justify the subscription for an occasional use, since I wasn't using it for…
(Photos courtesy of Gemini) The PitchI'm a solo dev building Iron Wake, a 1v1 hard sci-fi capital ship combat game in Godot 4.x. The core gameplay loop, UI, and Newtonian physics are already coded in and playable using programmer-art greyboxes. I need a hard surface artist to step in and replace those greyboxes so I can…
Hi everyone, I’m currently working on a 3D model for a class and I’ve run into some confusing normal map issues. I’m baking in Marmoset Toolbag 5 and texturing in Substance Painter, with Unreal Engine 5 as the target engine. The Issue:
When I import my Marmoset-baked normal maps into Unreal, they look perfect (DirectX…
I still feel like I'm McGuyver'ing this but if I do 1) Select bake target geo, hit "add selected" in Transfer Maps 2) Make cage geo a child of the bake target geo. 3) In the TransferMaps window under Traget meshes switch the 'Display' to 'Envelope' 4) It creats a new geo as a child of the bake target geo that has my cage…
I got quite frustrated doing and redoing the leg. I never quite get the knees right, and when they're wrong, it messes the whole thing up. I probably need to do some isolated studies of the knees by themselves. So, in order to be productive while being stuck on that, I did the arms in my free time today. Right hand side is…
I am an experienced Unreal Engine developer and am looking for a art partner to collab on a game kit with working assets. You would make the models and PBRs and I program mechanics for them so they work and can be used game-ready. Also I would add further effects and adjustable parameters if required. Examples for such…
Happy May! Once again, very cool concepts :star: I wanted to try out the eye, specifically have it track the player/ camera. First, blocked it out in Unity using primitives and worked on the functionality. Put the eye into a squashed container so it gets flattened and used a look at constraint with the camera set as the…
