I tried Iray, and actually the result for my test model was quite ok there (and not ok in Arnold). The reason I exported everything back to Maya and tried Arnold is that I can configure the render scene there (light sources, for example), which I cannot do in Substance Painter. Currently I am using Maya; I haven't used…
Introduction Hello, I'm a huge fan of arcade type sports games, especially hockey ones. Some of my favourite hockey games are NHL 94, Mutant League Hockey, Blades of Steel and NHL Hitz 2003. Those games were really fun, as they weren't trying to go for the extreme realism of today's sports games but instead make it more…
Zbrush is slightly weird in that it works in generic units, rather than in defined metric or imperial. What this means in practice is that something that's 2 units tall in Zbrush will import into Maya at 2cm tall, and Blender at 2 metres tall as an example. Maya's default unit is cm, blender's is I think metres (don't…
This is my first time sculpting something in Zbrush from scratch, and after a week this is what I have for the pre-retopo mesh. Attached is also the concept I'm basing it off. Can I have some critique as how to improve, for example in the face/head region?
Hi, i've been busy learn and building some stuff on unreal But i have some progress here 1) Remember the fish? this is my super basic fish animation, nothing special or complex... but instead the fix stays static at least now they will have basic movement when sliding on my matinee routes to the fish tank. 2) my elevator…
Try to texture map something NURBS and you'll immediately understand. Hard surface models in particular are really evil, as you can't use the implicit parametric UV because of all the fillet and trim and other surfaces. A complex model can consist of hundreds of these and some of them are just tiny strips and such. So the…
Well I do agree with Zac about removing logo and fancy frames, but I would say some visual design is good too if it helps reading and understanding thigs easier. Just not to "overfancy" would be enough ;) Other than that to me in general as a beginner portfolio it is looks like a solid one. I've seen ppl getting hired in…
Everyone has offered really solid advice. Think that Neox, Eric and sacboy have summarized the key points of the issue and provided a lot of good links to additional resources on the topic. Just wanted to quickly address a couple of different points brought up in the discussion. Subdivision modeling tends to be an…
@Taylor Brown said it perfectly regarding the site. Honestly the site alone would be an issue as it wastes so much time of a viewer. Having this as school project/requirement sounds about right as school tend to bog you down with completely pointless assignments when it comes to actually getting a job. Also things like…
