A number of threads have come up recently regarding the various programs we use and I've been wondering just how happy most people are with their major packages. So I put it to you: Tool-based workflow or action-based? A tool-based workflow refers to choosing a tool such as many programs' Insert/Create Polygon/Face tool,…
Hey Polycounters, I wanted to get some practice in on zbrush and in particular organisc and tropical foliage with some swamp stylization. The tree's were created via zSpheres and hard surfaces in modular rock sets. I also created custom water shaders and fog planes for the water elements as well as foliage sets. I'd like…
Hello everyone, this is an update of this project named Sakai No Arashi in reference to Jin Sakai's katana from the game Ghost of Tsushima - The katana is named Arashi (Storm) - as i enjoyed the game so much i've decided to create a piece inspired by it - this is not a reproduction of the sword nor a fanart (maybe in the…
are you trying to draw the attention to the rock centerpiece? - i'd remove or tone down significantly the light in the middle double doors/center, and 2nd story room, and consider having your occupants be in another part of the structure, for lighting and contrast. Currently the lights draw my eye first - consider playing…
You're looking at the metal version of the title as something acting as a title, but don't forget you can turn it into a motif. It can become a recurrent design woven into clothing designs, a sort of sigil, an element on the spine of all installments, a subdued an element behind the regular-font title (moving it up and…
Hi HUIB, Cool ideas, and the base is there. Here's a couple of critiques and an ugly paintover I did to communicate better. - Try to avoid using photographs for background except if they are really far away and you don't have time. It's quite distracting to see the difference with the meshes. You can easily hint at a city…
Definite improvement! Some things I try to keep in mind when making foliage: When making textures, start small. Need a bush with flower clusters? Think smaller to just one element, like the flower cluster. Then the flower cluster is made up of individual flowers. Do the flowers have individual petals? If so, start off by…
I wouldn't necessarily say that having everything almost blending together is a bad thing in an environment which is trying to capture a natural landscape and the feeling of getting lost or exploring in the woods. In that case the environment should very much look like it's a part of one another. Paths are the most…
Not that I know of. There are several hard coded key binds that you can't change so there is a good chance that you're going to hit some kind of stumbling block that stops you from setting one up on your own. I'm all for setting up custom key binds that speed you up (keybinds that make ergonomic sense not literal sense)…
Hmmm, so my biggest gripe is actually with the design. It has so many colour and contrast changes on each element that it makes the forms hard to read overall. I made a paint over to show what colour scheme I would go with, but it's a pretty big change, so you can disregard it if you want :) Just for fun in this pic I also…
