correct. the pass through layer is just to combine all the data into one accessible referencing layer for the micro detail input of the generator. you can use a mask on the pass through layer if you want to exclude some data :]
Here she is with some more details, and the hood done. I'm not crazy about the face but it's not that big of a deal since she will be wearing a mask anyway. Still needs some more texture work on the white parts and here webbing.
Thank you, RockaFella! It's clear to me I don't want a wolf mask, but I completely stole this owl from Chengwei Pan, so I'll be thinking of something else. I'll be exploring the design a little further now.
@Bodhwell Thanks man :) Probably gonna be doing a few horn variations when the time comes. Kinda wanna play with working them into a voidy/alien skull mask type thing. We'll see what happens XD
@AgelosAp Yes I'll refine the pants folds, I just let them like that for the moment ;) @lotet For the moment the lower body is just modeled with 3ds max for the wood leg and zbrush for the rest with mask, zremesher and zmodeler, no sculpt :)
I think RC has a solution that anything out of focus will get discarded, saving you a lot of cleanup/masking time. I haven't tested the program myself though, just heard people saying it has this feature.
Figuring this out as I go. Using generated maps to create masks for snow and rock. Read up on fresnel in UDK, has a pretty interesting effect in Marmoset. Gonna plug it up in Mari later. Also Knald is the tits.
One of the things I can recommend in photoshop is the use of guides. Make sure your brick is level before trying to work on it. Also duplicate layers with alpha masks can be easier than the clone tool and they're not as destructive.
Polycount's advice for when you're on a downer: Get drunk, put on a Lamont mask, go out with friends, masturbate. Result: You're wanted in several cities, Lamont. Cheers! [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8ufRnf2Exc[/ame]
Yeah that's probably not ideal all you'll end up doing is masking the problem for a while until you start getting it with the 'new' setup and need to change again. Powerballs are good. Stretch your wrists/hands/arms. Masturbation... :)
