Excited to share this with the polycount community. This piece has been visualized in UE5 with lumen as support fr lighting along with some nanite used with megascans content to build the backdrop for the mars scenes I'll be posting later. I learned a lot dealing with the shading and am certainly feeling more adventurous…
Maya Apex Workflow - Steps and Troubleshooting First of all - if this is your first armor try to make one part of the mesh first where you can test out workflows and learn how to troubleshoot your mesh before doing the full set. I did this with the arms of my armor and I still ran into trouble later in development. This…
Hey everyone, I've made a little resolution to post more my WIP work building whilst developing my projects in order to try and help maintain my enthusiasm whilst working as I tend to abandon most projects before I finish! haha >_< So, im working on a little diorama of a mine. So far I've only sculpted a basic shape and…
Hi! Things you can try to get your hands dirty: * Bi-monthly challenge (any challenge really). Why it helps: fixed duration, concepts to work off, others potentially doing the same subject with perhaps different approach, gives reason to think about and articulate workflows. Fill additional parameters like style-specifics…
Layers are like layers in max or photoshop, place an object on a layer, everything is in that layer. So like particle effects could go in one layer, ect.
Sooooo, gotta update this from time to time I figured, so you know I'm alive and stuff... Nothing new really on the digital stuffers. Got a new sculpture to show though. I call this guy Balloon Head. I'm somewhat pleased of the execution, not as much with the design. I just wanted something to practice painting on, though…
I think it's wise to learn various styles of texture creation from hand painted to photsourced. There seems to be an increasing demand for photo sourced stuff anyway. Lets face it most next gen stuff tends to be process led,with a separation of specualar/diffuse. gone are the days where you just painted everything in ,…
I did use a lot of reconstruction pictures for refs, but it's not like 1000,000% historically accurate or anything. I used the real thing as a base (mine has the same ammount of arches and whatnot) but I did take quite a bit of artistic liberty in colours and other designs. I chose the whiteness simply because I love that…
Thanks for the crit, I agree. However I have a new monitor which is pretty bright and saturated so the lighting is not dark at all. For the gun I really wanted to do a classical "retro-futuristic" gun as me generally see in pinup illustration, and then I changed my mind... I will do one with more curves when I find the…
