Zbrush + Catch123D - 3D Assets From Photos
Hey all, just joined the community, I'm a 3D environment artist/compositor and am looking forward to improving and being inspired by the great info and posts here. I've recently used catch123d to generate models and texture but the mesh is awful and the UVs are a joke so I've used zbrush to clean the mesh, retopo, uv and… -
Re: cost of morphs/blendshapes vs bones
It really depends on what is needed and the time you have. If it just needs to move from point A to B and have a little motion then morphs might work ok for the specific scenario. I might lean more towards joints because you can apply physics and animate them easier in different scenarios but that takes a bit longer to… -
Re: Sketchbook: Haley Lee
My process for the Camaro ZL1 I used CAD data and prepped the vehicle for production (including applying materials). Then I designed the layout for my scene. Next, I build the road and post in RailClone. I also created the lighting using an HDRI and the camera animation. I sculpted and textured the mountain in the… -
Re: Ddo or Substance designer
For sure! Its kind of funny you say that though, my GF works in VFX as well and she (at the request of her vfx house) was going through the same process of checking out Substance Designer for that line of work. Since they use Nuke heavily and pretty much anything from the Foundry, Substance Designer looked appealing at… -
Re: Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Deus ex is my favourite game series ever, loved every game in it, even invisible war. Especially Human Revolution I'm not going to ignore its flaws though Main story line was um... yeah... not that great. The environmental story did most of the heavy lifting on the subject of transhumanism(there was even a Nuke easter egg… -
Re: lighting/environment portfolio
I find navigating on your site a bit difficult - the secondary scroll bar for the gallery isn't always visible. You might want to change to a format that doesn't require 3 scroll bars on a standard display. In your bridge environment, the steel arches seem very polygonal - they really should have more sides considering… -
Re: Maya curiculam for the millenials
Back in collage, my first Maya class didn't have any specific focus and instead brought me through the entire animation pipeline from start to finish. We got to do modeling, rigging, texture, make our character walk and did a bit of a lip sync animation. Model was simple, mostly geometric shapes. Our heads were just a nurb… -
Re: IN PROGRESS: Is there a version of the SUITE that actually works?
Hi guys, I think I´ve reached a somewhat workable install. I still get a pop-up from Photoshop during project creation, bitching about mismatching color profiles I can discard and the project will create now. Fingers crossed I´ve used the latest download of Quixel Suite to reinstall. Prior to reinstalling, I did a… -
Re: Boom! Hard drives!
I have over 10 year old HDDs which still work nicely. Same goes for DVDs. The risk that dropbox shuts down because of some gung-ho anti piracy regulation ("omg someone is uploading (c) material!!!") is imho higher than your media degrading away (assuming you take proper care of them). Then again I wouldn't use dropbox as… -
Re: Tiling textures from photogrammetry
Actually I think there is just no good workflow. There is a huge lacuna in modern soft for that specific task. And honestly I don't understand why. I am waiting many years already. You basically need a composing soft like Fusion but being rather texture focused. Photoshop works, especially with current linked smart…
