@Ashervisalis My first post on Q2pmp (polycount's forerunner) was met with the founder of this site calling my work utter dogshit. Later on, I was also treated to a critique by Paul steed (or id fame) calling my work garbage. May he rest in peace. So, I frankly find the current crop of "don't even nudge my feelings in the…
Hello! I'm making this topic to show some progress as I get through a very ambitious project (for me), trying to reproduce this illustration as a 3D diorama: This is an illustration by a friend, Goblin Spice Trader, who does a lot of very cute (and often NSFW) goblins. I'm pretty sure they're not on this forum, otherwise…
The good news is that most of what you said is wrong. I'd write that off as not being familiar enough with the program. 1) Of course there is proper symmetry, and multiple ways to approach it as well not only with the symmetry toggle but also by mirroring an instance, there's a tool dedicated to it. 901's improvement added…
Texture projection method The main method of creating texture using AI is to project the generated image onto the model from several angles. Important This technique does not exclude a person from working on textures. AI is a tool that speeds up the process, not completely automated. Also, when working on textures, work in…

yep actually the problem is that i am very bad at getting creative. Guess that's a roadblock that typically some artists have to go through. Gonna post more updates. I am thinking the mouth area of this character needs some tweaking. The foot seems weird to me now lol. Let's see where this goes.

To coincide with its release, we will be looking at Singularity, the new Sci-Fi First Person Shooter game from Raven Software. The game was developed using Unreal Engine 3 and it's really noticeable right off the bat. It features some crazy looking monsters, ever changing environments, solid animation and breath taking…
If you have any 90 degree corners then they should be hard edged. This also means you will need to split your UVs at these areas and move them away from each other in UV space. Next, set each UV island to its own smoothing group. Then watch xNormal bake a perfect normal map. Just to expand on what ZacD said: setting your…
Hey, first off, I am sorry if there is a thread like this floating around already. I tried to search for it but the forum thought the search strings were too small (old, for instance). I'm sure a few of you may ask location or desired position so I'll leave that here in case it helps with anyone's answer. I'm in Dallas so…
