ZBrush "Fundamentals" Advice
G'Day I'm about to start on a new project which by the looks of things is going to be pushing a much more stylized art style and with that comes Zbrush! I'm pretty excited to be digging into Zbrush BUT one thing that is for sure is that it is a MASSIVE bit of software. Watching people work they seem to be using so many… -
Re: Need Help With Normal Maps in Maya
Are you using Envelopes in Maya when your baking? These are usually really important when baking, either in Maya or in other apps like xNormal, you need the Env/Cage to determine the best setting for grabbing. Also there are issues with having edge cuts in the correct place on your low poly. Your UV is also a little… -
Re: Portfolio Help
I'd say you're on the right track. I agree that having more breakdowns of individual pieces and possibly different angles of your environments will help. The egyptian scene seems like the weak link but it's still pretty solid. Maybe polish that one a little more. The gun could probably use another pass on the texture as… -
Re: Portfolio ass kicking time :)
seems like a good idea for the amount of content you have. keep in mind what people have said about showing your unwraps and wires for realtime assets. maybe 3 links from the front page (env/char/2d) which have your work there so the user can just scroll through your content without clicking a metric fuckton of buttons.… -
Re: Create cubemap from photo?
Yeah, don't want to be down on painting, I've painted some refmaps, works well. Hdrshop is great for converting to latlong/cyclo format, except it's not free for commercial work. Also skypaint is great, shareware though not freeware. Cool for students or hobbyists though. If you have max already, it's pretty good for… -
Re: help pick out my 'best' work
some honest feedback: of that, id say the 'best' work would be the cars/bikes/automobile models. the character stuff is ok, but your strengths atm really seem to reside in vehicles (except 29), and env props. i wouldnt really rate the textures in there as being 'best,' imo, but the models are great. if you showcase the… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Garth Cochrane

I have… -
Re: Elder Orc
jeffro: yeah this was the mesh that was used for the barbarian model. This is the model I made originally and it wasn't used for one of the projects so we cannibalised it, added new heads, and mit hands to make some quick barbarian gladiators. Started looking through old files yesterday and wanted to try a quick texture… -
Re: Lightmaps
Well i don't have a specific target hardware. I just want to make smthing nice. Modulate 2x is almost good, except those awful artefacts due to the divided range. And well i don't see that kind of thing in games. I wonder how to make a nice static lighting on a RT scene like I've seen here.… -
Re: Get a game job!
Good thoughts Wrath. Specialization is the future wether people like it or not. Our industry is changing and growing fast, and next gen consoles are almost upon us. Teams will get bigger, and roles will become more specialized. I can pretty much guarantee it. I'd strongly urge thinking about speciality now. At the studio…
