Re: photoshop 5.5 any faster than 7?
5.5 is the best of the lot imo except: -no layer folders in 5.5 -no rotating brushes (texture brushes?) -the layer effects have been overhauled quite a bit in 7.0 I like 5.5 for the shortcuts they use, and how when i hit the square brackets ts cycles thru the brushes 'everytime' except for only sometimes. I don't use 5.5… -
Re: First creation, need advice
I like the idea for the mouth. I have difficulty seeing marine creature in it aswell. Try using different alphas in zbrush for different types of scales perhaps. Maybe some gills. Subtleties is the key for fine details. Multiple Layers on the skin. Use layers in zbrush in the tools pallette to adjust the intensity of… -
Re: (FIXED) [Issue] [Substance Painter] Artifact Issues from Baking
See what exactly that culprit layer is doing. It's a folder filled with other layers doing god knows what. There could be a filter, a fill layer with some sort of texture in it etc that isn't playing nice with your uv set up. Smart materials don't always unviserally fully work on all meshes, there's bound to be some sorta… -
Re: wow, my first post
I very much remember this :) I thought it was really impressive given that it had a full-on animated character, a smooth 3D engine, and your instantly recognizable texturing style of course. What was the demo/game made with ? 20 years later It's very cool to see that handpainting is finally making a visible comeback… -
Re: Adding scratches manually
I don't think I ever apply materials with a brush on a paint layer. In fact, I dont think I use paint layers at all unless they are on a mask. What you want is to use Fill Layers and masks to achieve what you're after. And as far as not having a height range button on the material options... just add a Level and set it to… -
Re: Terrain skirts and decoration techniques
Nope, I would use a static mesh, and a layered shader. It's not that expensive, especially if you're efficient with layers, not using specular and normal maps on each layer, that kind of thing. It's distant mesh. Displace a grid in Max, and use a custom shader in-game to blend the tiling maps, either using vertex color or… -
Re: Photogrammetry Textures
I know that's kind of an old post. I'm just curious if you've ever just recorded your strokes within photoshop and pasted that on another layer, reduces the need for masks almost entirely. I tried the method you described in your pdf a while ago and found just recording strokes using a spot heal brush on my diffuse layer… -
Re: Hair problems (low poly)
Don't give up, it's a tricky thing to do. Just keep observing and trying out. Look how layered this kingdom hearts hair is, lower layers are darker than the upper layers. That helps giving it a bit of structure and defining the shapes a lil better. Otherwise it'd look messy! Why don't you try making a single strand with no… -
Re: GIMP 2.8
My Cintiq works fine. I like Single Window mode. I have an issue where panning the image slow down my machine. I've got a beefy system and 2.6 worked fine, so it's probably a bug. The real deal breaker for me is that layers have a "boundary" that doesn't update when you move them. So if you have a 1024x768 image and you… -
Re: Zbrush Grab Doc Problem
How did you do your texture and have you tried the MRGBGrabber brush(or whatever it's called...)? Did you use multiple meshes in the 2.5d canvas? I've found that doing it that way without layers really screws up the depth and doesn't even capture anything, in my experience. Having a base layer for nothing or a reference…
