Texturing Tips
A few members here have asked that I discuss my methods for creating maps. My approach is more suited to a realistic style. Texturing When I am first assigned a task, for example an Ammo box. I create A folder called Ammo_Box and I gather as much reference, and textures that relate to that task. If the Ammo box is made… -
Re: Yet another shiny new portfolio + reel
Yay, thanks guys, I'm really glad you liked the stuff. Steady: thanks, man. I fixed the menu as you suggested, and you are right - disabled link was bugging me as well. Before I had CSS rollovers, which weren't perfect because the images didn't preload and they worked slow, but now I just have pure text menu links that I… -
Styx - Zbrush/Maya/Max tool

I created this Zbrush/Maya/Max script package which makes it faster importing-exporting files between the programs, the creating blendshapes, editing geometries, etc. For more, visit my gumroad page: https://gum.co/iDdF I guess the main question here is, what's the difference from GoZ?

Re: Sketchbook: COPYWHEELEYE
Okay. First proper update. Actually starting was harder than anything else, it was mostly reading or looking things up until I decided it's better to do it badly than not at all. I've also realised that a lot of what is displayed isn't "readable" without explanation so I'll work on that in future posts. As stated in the… -
Re: 3D Level Of Detail (LOD)
I never worked for vfx but my understanding that in vfx it's mostly just subdiv modelling . more subdivided models at close vs less at distance.

Re: thoughts on Linux?
I think Linux is great, but it's biggest problem is that most hardware and software vendors support Windows first, with Linux being an afterthought or ignored completely. It's a catch 22 really. The vendors don't support it because they don't see a high enough demand for Linux support. The users don't offer a higher demand… -
Re: Zbrush workflow for low poly normal maps
Hey Hanpan, Here's the process I use, assuming I have my low poly mesh finalized and exactly the way I want it... Within Maya 1) Make SURE you're using ALL quads. This is important because Z subdivides every edge of your model by 2, each time you click the "divide" button. Having tris etc can produce weird results that… -
Re: [WIP] HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark IX Mantis (Halo Mantis)
Update! So I meant to post this earlier, but unfortunately baking the meshes took a little longer than I'd initially planned due to an unforeseen glitch with the arm high-poly... When I uploaded the last post, I had everything but the flamethrower attachments concepted and made - I've since then done a loose, simple… -
