We will have access to both 3ds Max and Blender. I can use both, but I'm much more comfortable in Blender, so that's what I'm going to teach. I know Max is much more used in the industry, but I'd rather teach something I know rather than stumble through lessons trying to remember where a button is in Max. Plus, as I found…
G'day everyone! Time for another post, I've been holding back real bad on this one, I felt like hadn't made enough progress to warrant a post till now so here we go: A lot of my focus has gone to perspective, been doing all kinds of exercises and drawings. My main issues here was keeping likeness and having a realistic…
Neato! You could also crop out those deetz to get decals from them. Chiming in cause I had a similar idea but different workflow to use toolbag baker better and more efficiently. 1, make basemesh as detailed as I want my lowpoly to be. Unwrap the basemesh (with supporting geometry and all), and bake object space normals in…
Hi everyone, I made some progress on this project that i would like to share with you. I did not have any pbr texturing experience before this and it wasa kinda trial and error process for me. I neither worked on substance or Marmoset before this project. It was my first serious map baking and texturing experience and i…
Personally I never do retopology and UV mapping because you can get great result with decimation and Smart UVs project for static game assets, like you can see in this demo: https://youtu.be/-Fy7g3g6uCI For the texel density a new auto-packing algorithm is in preparation in the Blender source code, for now it's an addon:…
Gonna necro this thread as I recently googled this exact topic to see what others say. Here's my 2 cents: My personal method is to first guess perspective of the concept, then work in that perspective in zbrush. If I think the concept is drawn very flat, I use less perspective and if its very distorted with fov I use more.…
Well it was more around 7 months that counting the review *I did every 3 months* I have my playlist setup as my review section there a full month of review in there now like 100 hours use to be like 10-45 hours when I was doing reviews but most of it just useful information such as name your model this way when rigging it…
[ QUOTE ] Major ISP's are some of the least competitive businesses around. They stay away from each other as much as possible so they can each monopolize their own regions. There is a general understanding that invading each other's territories will only start a war which is risky business. It doesn't work like with cell…
Yeah FUCK UHAUL. So I get my car fixed and it's good to go now. Huge hole in my wallet now. So today after getting my car back I had to rehook this trailer up to my car. Tow it back to my storage. Unload everything that we had just loaded up days before and then filled up our car with what we could bring and cram in. You…
I love peppers! I'll eat them on all kinds of foods, perhaps a byproduct of my southern upbringing. A few years back, a buddy and I were getting into one of our annual chili cooking outings and decided to up the ante in our spicy batch (we do one 'wuss' chili and one 'manly' chili each time we cook); in a single five-quart…
