Sketchbook: Donte' Hawkins
Hello all Polycount friends! Hope all is well. 👋 Re-introduction For those of you who don't know me, I'm Donte'! I used to create a ton of 3D environment / material work but made a switch over to concept art five years ago. I still do dabble in 3D stuff every once in a while though haha. 🎨 Programs 1.

[WIP] Samurai matchlock gun
Hello Polycount! So, long story short - I wanted to learn ZBrush for a long time as my support tool for hard surface modeling (for making details etc). I have found pictures of really beautifully crafted Japanese matchlock (Tanageshima) and I thought it will be a great exercise to create it with help of ZBrush. For start,… -

Re: Capcom Mobile copies 'Splosion Man... poorly
I disagree completely and saying that they're wrong isn't going to change anything. It's you against millions of people. Who do you think has more collective time and resources? To call a video game, which is just an arrangement of 1's and 0's a product, means you're committing a misnomer. A video game is no more a product… -
Re: Substance Painter - Master Thread
Really great program so far, it has a huuuge potential and if most of the really vital flaws with it get fixed I can see it becoming a great addition to many artists workflows. The issues I have faced: -Lack of blendables/filters (Greyed out so I have am guessing they are coming soon). -Clunkyness of creating… -
Re: How do I animate fabric to crease when object bends?
It really depends on what app you're using (I'm guessing max?) and what you are outputting to. You would have one set of maps for wrinkled and one for normal and then blend between them with the composite map (not composite material). The Composite Map allows you to create "layers" similar to photoshop and blend their… -
Frozen Codebase is Hiring - 3D (General)
It appears Frozen Codebase is hiring more slaves of the artist nature! As always, feel free to IM/PM me if you have any questions about life out here or my deep philosophies on the meaning of life. The above statement is not approved by Frozen Codebase nor are my philosophies all that deep outside of my logic of why beer… -
Re: How hard would it be to recreate these visual effects?
Have you tried an AI upscaler yet? This sounds like the perfect method since your graphics already exists but are just a bit too small. It might add the detail that you need without the need to redo the graphics from scratch. There are online services that allows you image upscaling. Also free ones. It must not be Topaz… -
Re: pushing my skills in texturing - approach
Can we see the UVs? Where the jacket and the shirt meet is the thing you should fix first, I say. You can create a crisp edge there by having the shirt and jacket UVs separated. Also, from a geometry standpoint, I think her collar might look better with a sharper crease around the ridge, you know? Instead of a rounded…
