Re: Anyone else here not play any video games?
I think we are still in an infancy that might be accelerated with the billions invested in VR and the prevalence of Indie development. Where artists might to a lesser degree see themselves as cogs in the machinery. Where they do not aspire to be 3d modelers, Texture Artists, Animators or some other combination of visual… -
Re: Shrinkwrapping lowpoly to highpoly with linked vertex positions, is this a thing?
Maybe it's possible with bpy. but i don't know if you can store custom data like that on vertices with python. It doesn't even need to work procedurally, it just needs to be one button for lock and another button for snap. each vertex on the lp would need to hold a unique identifier for their respective hp vertex so they… -
Seam showing in mirrored UVs After Baking Normal
Hi everybody. I have a very persistent problem I seem unable to solve. I am working on a model and to save texture space I mirrored some parts. The process I follow in From Blender to Substance is: Unwrap and straightenmy UVs -> Apply my Mirror modifier -> Offset the position of the mirrored UVs by exactly one UV tile to… -
Re: What Are You Working On? (3D) 2023
I've made 2 real-time characters for a short Unreal cinematic I'm making with a friend. Hope you like them! You can have a better look on the artstation posts I've made for them respectively :) Masked Soldier: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/elvrdY Elf Witch: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/XgvEk3 -
Re: Unwrapping a Sphere?
@JoshexDirad: Granted I only quickly read your last reply and skimmed over the rest of the thread, so I might be misunderstanding something, but it seems like you are missing that if you place a geometry crease (as in a discontinued smoothing of the surface, a hard edge or different smoothing group) where you see your… -
Re: zBrush or Mudbox?
I think that are many people who just see zBrush as the be all and end all of CG sculpting, but in reality there are other packages that are just as good, if not better in some respects. And there's plenty of example to back that up. However, lets not forget, they all have their own respective strengths and weaknesses. For… -
Re: Weathered Stop Sign (critique)
I'd suggest, slightly more material and general overall research into subject matter which imo will certainly go a long way selling what you've in mind for this prop: Typically modern road signage is fairly universally standardized and made from thin aluminum sheeting or substrate with a reflective vinyl covering for low… -
Re: Giving feedback when it isn't asked for
Hey guys! I'm seeing some negativity and misplaced blame in this thread. I'll try to put a more productive spin to it. Giving feedback when it isn't asked for is a complex topic. Let's analyze it deeper: 1. Effective constructive criticism is a dialogue, not a monologue. One person (Giver) dedicates his time and effort to… -

Hito, If you know how rotation order on joints affects axis and create yer control objects accordingly. execute the following script. else, before executing... yer nurbs circle fer… -
The Co-worker
There's been a lot of discussion lately in the Polycount Forum about an article written by Christopher Gregorio on How to hire an artist. Our very own Jon Jones wrote a rebuttal on his blog that's also gained some attention. To me, both sides present good points. And while the original article is garnered towards the flash…
