Using various noise algorithms Extile can eliminate the "ugly" repetitiveness associated with tiling textures for both geometric and organic patterned textures. It also comes with many additional effects such as dirt effects and Z-up puddles as well as other texture properties. By default all the materials are in world…
Hi there! I've never made a blog post before.. but I wanted to keep going on this project and be consistent with it. I'm posting this here for my own sake but also a way to be more involved in our industry community, learn new techniques, and hear other artists' perspective or advice, if you're so inclined to give it 😁 I…
Most metals I see are conservative shades of gray, bronze, or gold. If someone wanted "out there", funky colored metals that are grounded in reality, can anodized metals be used as reference? stuff like this: -Or is it just a coating, and therefore a non metal?
I'd love to see an update as well, but I agree that the current version for Max is already great and understand there might not be a lot of demand. You can group islands in the UV editor or do name selection sets on a per face basis for editable poly or mesh objects, but both are fairly fleeting. Another more permanent…
I have to unfortunately be very real here for a second: the pandemic was a great time for internships, juniors and associates. However with the mass number of layoffs and people looking for work, lower level job positions are going to be a rarity to borderline-non-existent. It's worse that pre-pandemic. I'm not saying this…
Hey guys! I've been really busy with my internship past few months, but I finally picked this one up again! :smiley: Didn't change too much about the sculpt anymore, deleted some craks, reduced the curve and added some straps around the blade part. My plan was to make a PBR version textured in Quixel (as done in the…
Hey guys! First post on polycount! I Wanted to share this piece, I hope you like it! Introduction I love games like Dead Island or Requisition VR. For this portfolio piece I wanted to get inspired by the crafty, impossible yet believable weapon designs of these games. What better than C4 attached to something like a…
Hey there,i was wondering if anyone has had experience on how hard is it to get into the UK to work as a non EU citizen. I was about to get a job offer in Brighton but all of a sudden visa became an issue and i have a bad feeling that not being able to qualify for a tier 1 visa will put this job at stake. The biggest issue…
I wrote this script today for myself and thought it might come in handy for some of you doing high poly models. It selects all non four sided polys in an EPoly object in Max. This way, you can see where you need to do some cleanup if you want an all quad mesh for bringing in to ZBrush. You can use it in an editable poly…
Turoid: Thanks, I can't wait either. :-) Lotekk: I attribute most of the color scheme not working to the fact there is no shading. I'll bring it all together in the texture. Thank you about the face. I like it too. Notman: Hah, maybe Punky with a bit of Pippi Longstalking. :-) Pior: You be quiet you non rigger! :-) The…
