Yes its a complex thing that turns 3D texture painting into its own fulltime job. Not sure if its still the standard beyond creature texturing. From what I'm hearing it seems Substance has been making inroads for most types of assets and surely everyone prefers actually painting the surface directly and having full…
@chancellor: As far as I know, 3DXchange is required for iClone and Character Creator to export to other formats. For example, if you don't have 3DXchange Pipeline then Character Creator will not be able to export FBX files which is required to edit clothes on custom characters and to export rigged and animated characters.…
I did a sketch over of what I wanted to add or change and a painter over of a color scheme. As I was doing so I began thinking more and making up stories about the scene and this mage: She studies potion and is a potion maker so I wanted to have bottles of potions and books everywhere. There are many plants and herbs…
What I'm currently working on: Amcry A large ameoba-like creature that uses large crystal formations as it's outer body. This is a design from my childhood game designs and is one of the concepts that has stuck with me. It is meant to be a form of in-game enemy or Boss monster. Since I've been having a bit of trouble…
@brettd thank you so much!! This has been super helpful! :smile: I've also have done some quick photobashing to see what outfit would suit the character. She is 18-22 years old girl that goes to university and suffers from mental health problems. How I imagine her is like a sweet and creative person that just wants to fit…
Ok. My intention was to create a creature that was like a hulk'/mutated version of a rabbit. This project's focus is to improve on what was a poorly executed first idea: I wanted to recreate this idea with more convincing anatomy and an improved texture. Given that Im rather inexperienced in this area of creating…
The time varies, based on subject matter. I think the general estimate is 3 weeks for HP, 2 weeks for low poly and processing. Maybe a week for texturing. Speaking for myself, I try to stick to that schedule, but in practice I often revise and revisit a model several times throughout the project. What I've found is that I…
Okay so ive started researching different insect, sea creature and general creepy crawlies specifically for body part reference, now that i have the general design im researching more to get heaps more detail for the final concept. However i am having trouble with the mouth, not a major part of the creature but still…
@Krislw - Thanks for the comment! I am not going to include the battlescene, although I am debating replacing the creature with something, probably a horse. As for the building, I am 50/50 as to whether I am going to make something detailed or attempt to cheat it with a simpler model, or perhaps just one side facing the…
Final Draft [Scroll Down for previous versions] “You know,” Desmond spat, “you’re about as smart as that pile of rocks there, boy.” He motioned downward from atop his mare to a conspicuous group of boulders lying just off the scrubby path. Little Robert stood just ahead of Desmond, blinking confusedly. He raised his eyes…
