Re: GoZ Maya to Zbrush. What's up with the scale in Zbrush?
@Kanga: thanks, that makes a lot of sense. @thomasp : I didn't know there's was a change in scale if I send maya files to max, but you're right. My meshes get scaled 2.54 from maya to max, but from max to maya there's no downscale (nor upscale, the mesh is simply 2.54 bigger than maya original). This is so confusing coming… -
Re: Low Poly Wood Elephant (Plus In game footage)
hey, you should honestly make a dev-thread with all your stuff at the same place, its easier for both you and us to follow. and also screenshots, much easier to get an overview on what your doing, the videos are great for youtube but isnt really working on a forum, its not likely that someone is gonna watch through a… -
Re: Varnadgray (Timespinner fanart)
Been a few days since I worked on this. Today: Tuuuubes. I tried using curves to model the tubes, but trying to replicate the coils and loops from the sprite was proving to be rather challenging. Instead, I made a set of smaller curves of various shapes and then used a particle system to distribute it around the mesh. In… -
Re: Please Help ! Female face sculpt in Zbrush
First thing is first, get the skull shape right. Don't even think about getting out any sculpting brushes until the skull shape is there. I've done a quick liquify to show you where you want to head, keep in mind depending on your reference the overall shape of the skull will change but the idea is the same. This was all… -
Re: What books should 3d artist read about lightning and anatomy?
Some lighting books I've been consulting for the lighting training I'm creating: * Digital Lighting and Rendering (Birn) * Placing Shadows (Chuck Gloman) - this is about real lighting for film / photography. Since our goal is to replicate real-world lighting, it makes sense to understand how real-world light sources work.… -
Re: Color and Specular Maps
They do for sure, but a follow up would be couldn't I just use a red light on that Christmas ball to get the red glow? (assuming I'm using a black/white spec). edit: Although to answer my own question, I guess if I used a red light I'd have red on the background layout too (red indirect light bouncing off the ball too).… -
Re: A Survival Horror MMO/MUD Project
I remember a HL MMO-ish mod a long while back by just making each server zone and with triggers causing players to get sent to another server. However with HL you have access to a good chunk of C++ code and would be able to integrate MySQL or some other general DB sharing system, I don't think that's possible with any of… -
Re: Grading levels of art
Look at the back of the box, can you do that with the same resources your probably at least ''staff level'' for that company at the time they were creating that game. :) Look at peoples work here on polycount and go check portfolios and then see if there is information for what position they have, what kind of work… -
Re: Hard Surface Normal Maps
First off, what software are you using? If it's Maya, you can solve this problem by averaging the normals of the low poly on those verts which occupy the same world space but are part of different mesh chunks (aka shells). Ths will make the low-poly appear to be seamless, and a normal map generated from this will look… -
