Re: I need advice on how to proceed with this stone wall technique (Blender/Quixel Mixer/UE4).
Alright, I have made some big progress with this project as it gets closer to finish! I have made some fixes and changes. * Fixed and improved resolution scale of floor textures and displacement tesselation * Updated and fixed wood crypt walls with better wood direction and indentation bolts for the brass panel * Updated… -
Re: Suggestions & / Feature / Request / wish list thread.
A few more suggestions : -Add default subdiv method in prefs so you can decide to use PN triangles instead of catmull clark by default -Allow to modify common properties of multiple selected assets, for example if I select 5 meshes, I want to be able to activate backface culling on 5 with one clic, change their default… -
Re: Mutant Big'en Concept Piece - New artist, first project - Zbrush.
Ha Great news, I was actually re-reading through this and had thought i might have given you an answer that wouldn't have helped, glad to see it worked out. TLDR : TLCR = Can't read.

The first thing I did was look at some references to find the type of knot and pattern I wanted to do. I set up splines in the pattern of the weave, leaving space between them since… -
Re: Rigging Tubes
That could work for some rigs and animations if they are pretty limited. It would help if you could scale that bone, but most games don't allow squash and stretch only rotation (due to memory constraints again). The problem is that the shoulder is a ball joint and rotates almost 360 degrees, then the elbow bends on one… -
Re: Curved arches
Hope this makes sense... I don't have all the correct numbers memorized, so you may need to mess around a bit. -Start out by making a cylinder with the number segments equal to the number of arches you want. (like 16 sides, for example). Make it the size of the curve you want, but keep it about 1 unit high. Keep everything… -
Re: the Mandatory Folio Review | Pyr3D - Characters
Make certain each project starts with a beauty shot; the wizard is the only textured project that doesn't, but that's still one too many. ;) Untextured projects always feel unfinished. Resist the temptation to post works-in-progress and be aggressive about culling the weaker projects over time. Overall, your textures could…
