Then you do know that a normalmap that is baked from a highpoly will in the best scenario be a perfect replica of the highpoly (with an exception of the silhuette) so in most cases your highpoly will be at fault. And these normals are also baked according to the tangents of your lowpoly, and this is important to know,…
I actually wondered how they did that head crush scene, personally I would've gone with a replica of the head made of doughnut batter and then had the guy squeeze jam out of it, but I imagine the method the crew used was a lot more elaborate. I still think Littlefinger should have popped up at the end and broken the…
Captain Ahab! The Harpoon gun from Sunset Overdrive. Volpin Props made a replica of this weapon for PAX Prime and I love the whimsical nature of it, so I chose to tackle it and create a lifelike version of Volpin's interpretation of the weapon! Volpin's website and portfolio of images:…
@Donato Thank you for the compliment. I learned a lot from the last environment challenge so this one is going much smoother for me. I'm also allowing myself some artistic licence so I don't spend forever trying to replicate the concept art exactly. That was my main problem in the last challenge. :# I wouldn't worry too…
Your $500 Dell is over his "anything over $400 is too much" comment, though. The end of your reply also seems to be at odds with Forgetful's advice, too. So, uhm. I dunno what you're trying to say here :P I will say your Dell is very nice and would probably fit in the upper part of the consumer market. Same as, and…
Hey guys, sorry for the late reply, I am still reading these! @JacqueChoi So it's about finding something that strikes the balance between visually appealing and technically complex. For someone to design something like that whilst also making sure it remains functional sounds like a real challenge. @Wolthera Oh right,…
Silva_Spoon: Thanks for reply! - It seems like you don't have any kind of "Volume" Or "Assymmetry" Slider which Jason Osipa used, or at least they are not visible in your image. (cool looking head BTW!) - The problem what i have is only evident in this kind of situation; - A is controlled by SliderA and it's effect is…
thanks for the replies guys/girl! no update in this post yet, just some replies. Vig: thanks :D . i'll tweak it next time. seforin: yeah i usually do it that way too but this time i felt pretty sure where the geo was supposed to go, so i modeled it all (everything copied from one hairplane so the uv's are ok for later) and…
You will not be concepting unless in very small teams, so focus fully on your 3D. The stuff is not bad, but at 25 youre behind. The mixer is nice, especially if you did all of the image, but the rest seems way below. You need to be able to get the whole highpoly > lowpoly baking workflow down and know how to texture…
Nice !!! I think there might be some scale adjustments to be done later on with the effect as a whole, but as far as the fireballs themselves are concerned I think they are perfect - they look very, very good. Great job ! On my end I have been exploring the technical steps required in order to add an FX emitter to models…
