Re: Another Female Character WIP
Feels like you're going into detailing way too early, go back in subd to the lower levels are try working from there to get the general shape right. Honestly it doesn't matter if it's going to be hidden or not, it's just good practice to always practice your anatomy skills. We see almost completely nude humans everyday, we… -
Re: Stylized Game Assets
Stylized can mean a lot of things, perhaps you'd be better to study the game/genre you wish to emulate, then reproduce it. Making a stylized game asset is really the same as realistic ones except in maybe poly count and handpainted textures (which I'm sure there are many tutorials on how to create handpainted textures… -
Re: Steampunk Time Device - First PBR attempt (WIP)
If you haven't yet be sure to check PBR tutorials, the ones in the marmoset website are a safe bet, especially the PBR Theory and Practice ones. :)http://www.marmoset.co/toolbag/learn The main thing I would change in your current texture is darkening the metals in Albedo, and let the specular take care of those parts. You… -
Re: Catholic church gives blessing to iPhone app
Man, I think everyone can practice their religion as long as it doesn't prohibit scientifict progress, human progress and others right to practice whatever they believe in. I guess that's why the whole Scientology debacle rubs me wrong in many ways. One way is obvious, the "scamming" part. But why is Scientology "silly and… -
Re: Looking for critique
Okay, so this time I'm working on specifically hand painted textures until I have at least 3 done, before I go back to modeling. Basically my goal with this thread is to create about 5 models and hopefully improve as I practice. Its really hard to get straight back to things because of OT right now, but I'm working my best… -
Re: Learning a new skill - is this what would help me?
Gnomon dvds are pretty amazing for learning. As far as that one goes I would assume it only covers the UV layout not the painting process. The best thing I can tell you is practice. While the UV is the technical, the texture painting is all about sitting down with your tablet and just seeing what works. As for DVD stuff I… -
Re: Sketchbook: Sakichii
Yeah...when I did these things I was relying purely on uvmaps, and tiling I didn't do any unwrapping at all. Didn't know how to at the time. I just got out the room's max file and started unwrapping things today. I'm so out of practice it's taking a while though. I haven't done any 3d since half way through last… -
Re: Dragophant? & rider!
Thanks for the crits + great ideas! I loved the new tail idea, so I tried to make it fit with the rider's gear, like sXe Seany mentioned. Probably not the most practical design I know and it isnt very subtle! Im still playing around with it :P I'll fix the feet and hands at some point as well. I'm having lots of fun with… -
Re: Sketchbook: Ilja Japhir Kocken
Nice work man! I noticed your avatar on a few other threads and I thought it was a small photograph of Borat. I couldn't figure out why it would be your avatar, but now it makes sense. So in other words, your painting skills are really good, im sure your drawing will be just as good with a little more practice. I need… -
Re: Stuck on a very basic modeling problem - resolving complex poles
@Alex_J thank you very much for your explanation. Your answer helped me identify the issue with the phong shading happening with Cinema 4D yesterday. I'm beginning to see the importance of using real-world examples to practice on. @frankpolygon thank you for the welcome to the forums! My apologies for having posted in the…
