Sadly, this is quite true. I had played around with Sculptris a bit in its beta phaze. It was decent, but lacking in a few areas. I had already used Blender for sculpting before, and gotten some decent results with it. I played around with the new 1.0 version of Sculptris a day or two after it came out and WOW! I was a…
My Intuos start to constantly disconnect with any cable after having spilled coffee on many times and I am looking for new tablet. Whats good nowadays? How long blue tooth ones live? I recall I had intuos pro M 5-7 years ago and got discharged pretty quickly. I got tired to charge it . Are they lasting more now? What about…
I had this thing going with cloth and was never happy with any cloth that I had done. It almost made me want to give up doing characters altogether. I found the only way to get over this was to research the subject thoroughly and practice the hell out of it. I have been doing this for about a month now and have made big…
Before they fixed it, it was a wise move to copy the figure pose (I call it bind pose) using the copy/paste feature in the biped menu. You can also save the .fig file while in figure mode also. Then load it back in if it fails to go back to normal. I also select all of the biped pieces, hold alt, right click, and choose…
This is very similar to the workflow I used to retopo my garment except I use blender. It's really good for the sculpting phase but not usable within MD. Simulating more simple mesh like this t-shirt with Ncloth or blender is possible though if you only add thickness after the simulation. Thanks for the response. I had an…
Here are a few ideas on how to tackle that* make a list of the most awesome features down to the minor ones so you know for yourself whats most useful and what is not so hot or could even go. Thats something I would do for starters because it would give you an overview of where you are and where you might be heading to. *…
To answer the question: Entry level for teh bay area should be +40K if it's a shitty title and like My Little Pony, +45K if it's an established AAA title. The temptation is to pick a small company that pays better and gives you more freedom. Fight that urge; because smart move is to goto an established studio that makes…
Lloyds Lust For Rust RAT ROD! * I found this vehicle sitting in the Walmart parking lot. After a quick glance I realized I wanted to turn this into my next 3d project. Luckily the owner walked out as a I was looking at it and turns out he did all the work with his son at his custom Rat Rod Shop. He found the body of the…
IMO making scanned textures tiled is better to do manually in Zbrush or photoshop . Same for roughness. Based on Adobe Sampler its a waste of efforts. More lacking tools is de-lighting , especially extracting albedo from sun shadowed images . I yet have to see something working as good as those special flash lights that…
Well, I got the shit kicked out of me for a bit by covid, so that was fun. Good way to kill whatever momentum I had stone dead. So I finally got back to this now. Still doesn't feel right; something's really bothering me. It's just no good. No good, no good, no good. It's all off. But going round in circles won't help, so…
