Re: Literally Handpainted Uv's
a few fellow students back in the uni days did that usually going over the UV with pencils or aquarel colors. But only crispy stuff looked good like Ink, pencil and such. Water based techniques sucked because they were blurred or cut off at UV borders and at the seams. At first thought you were aiming at camera mapping… -
3D modeling with your iPhone
With the ever increasing power and improvement with technology, smart phones are able to push more pixels and more polies with each generation. What does this mean to us as 3D Artists? Well it means we can have 3D modeling packages like the iSculptor app for the iPhone. iSculptor is a 3D modeling application developed by… -
Re: Traditional Art - Newbing it up
Greetings; Right now I am using 9x12 which is the standard sketchbook size it comes with the Bristol board. Or you can buy the two clippers with the hard board. The paper is medium tooth, pencils: 4H and 2H that is only because I like to shade with 2H. Erasers: Kneaded, Tuff Stuff, Pencil Eraser and Mars Plastic. This is… -
Re: Watts art material ?
charcoal pencils or conte pencils. I didn't remember exactly which brand. You shave most the wood off to expose 2" or so of the charcoal, keep a bit of med-grit sand paper handy to keep it with a sharp point. I remember Ron grinding the point to have 2 sides. A large flat side for wide swaths of value, a smaller flat side… -
Re: Aircraft Panels: to model, or to map?
I've always had problems making panels for my hard-surface models but lately I've started drawing on the meshes surface directly (Grease Pencil in Blender) to outline the panels and then extract these panels by cutting them out from the original surface with the knife tool. This workflow makes it a lot easier to plan out… -
Re: You need to buy a Boogie Board. Right now.
40 bucks gets you roughly 2500 sheets of paper, a mechanical pencil, 50 eraser refills and 100 pencil refills. I suppose it could eventually be cheaper to use this boogieboard, very very maybe, but you sacrifice a lot of control and convenience for it. You wouldn't take this to the store as easily. You need to have the… -
Re: UV Layout and Textures for Unreal
Thanks for your help Eric! I've checked out a couple of the different pages so far, still have more to go though! For the glasses I didn't do any lenses since it's just a hand painted texture. Here's what I came up with for this guy. I think I'm going to redo the pencil to get some more detail in the model, and then… -
Re: Export Normal Map from Toolbag
So apparently something is going on deeper than my blissful ignorance. When I press the pencil icon in order to edit, the psd just never opens. I have tried it with both photoshop open and closed, both with a current file and without one. I have no idea what's going on. As far as I know my computer is setup to default to… -
Re: Environment: Street Fighter Stage
Coooool! It didn't click a SF to me the first time, but that's because I played Second Impact only once. I really can't wait to see the colors! Working from such a good base will sure give great results. Great pick, great art challenge! Do you know if the pencil rendering is an actual Capcom production asset? I guess it… -
Re: LPC vol2 #3 - Time Machine!
willy wilson: Would u mind posting a wireframe of that pencil? I thought you might have geometry for thirding. However, if you dont have geometry to spare, you can still reduce the size of the texture space for the yellow part of the pencil as its a constant colour (almost). It would work even if you have the yellow part…
