Started looking for initial references for all the elements in the scene and created a list of everything I needed to make for this scene. Elements needed for the scene: 1. Trees 2. Rocks 3. Stone face 4. Stone steps 5. Stone slabs 5. Plants 6. Grass 7. Flowers 8. Vines I'll most probably be adding more elements to this…
I made a little demonstration video about micropolygons for people who don't understand it yet. I see a lof of "pseudovolumetric" and "voxel" and "claylike" here. And actually it isn't really like that. I had to skip one step because I didn't know how to do it, but this doesn't really change the outcome. My one has some…
2.0 looks awesome! Can't wait to try it out. As for tutorial ideas- I'd love to see a complete workflow for modelling/texturing a single basic asset ( something that can be quickly modelled to save time (only 2 or 3 color ID's)/ is made to demonstrate workflow rather than extreme detail) I know modelling isn't part of the…
Here's a text based tutorial: Box > Turbosmooth > Sphereify. It helps to unwrap the box before applying TS and Sphereify, more about that here: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1312335&postcount=16 Also: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?p=810733 Also you can also skip the turbosmooth step and just…

Maybe check the Stroke menu, lazy mouse sub menu. There you have a Lazy Step slider, maybe the value is too high, put it somewhere like 0.1 or 0.025. If lazy mouse is not activated, you can activate it and maybe it will orrect the problem with a good lazy step value. The standard brush kinda has the same problem, the lazy…
Great thread! Read your posts and the replies and felt inspired :) Your textures also look amazing, I hope one day to be on that level too. One thing I would say on the piece, are the stone stairs from the blockout you showed two posts ago. It looks like you have 3 or 4 steps to one step of the wooden ladder. Imo you could…
Hey, there! I've been looking for opportunities to improve as a 3D artist, and I have made the decision to allow for others to review and critique my current work. I have reason to believe my skills have plateaued, and I would like help in improving my craft. My proficiency/comfort area has been firearms since I started 3D…

In your graph editor in the tangents menu you can set keys to spline, stepped, linear and a few other settings that I haven't really used. Stepped keys show only the frames you have keyed on playback without all of the interpolation you normally get between them when using spline. Stepped is really useful when you're…
