Re: Does Zbrush Live Up to the Hype? (Making the Most of My 30 Day Trial)
Keep it up! When you're doing your sculpt for the base heads, are you using Sculptris Pro? You may want to consider using a low resolution dynamesh to solidfy your forms before moving into higher subdivision levels. Another method that may help is to use the ZModeler to make simple shapes in a subtool folder and then… -
Re: Verville-Packard R-1 Raceplane (WIP)
The reference for the tailplane above is below; the clearest image of the empennage' remains after the crash of the first prototype. I've noticed some key differences between this aircraft and the one that won the first Pulitzer's Cup in the 1920s. Below is an image of the remains of the first precursor aircraft prior to… -
Re: SCAR-L
Im sorry but its a step back. The previous one had correctly reading materials across the board. The quality of the edge wear and general surface noise could be improved with more small scale variation (plus the render could be better and softer edges and more polys would have improved the weapon in general) but the new… -
Re: Translucent Shader
Kind of. They'll cast and receive shadows fine, but the shadows applied to their surface will also affect the translucent effect. By which I mean, if you imagine the shadow value they receive if they were simply opaque, the translucent effect will also be masked by that shadow value. The other option would be to stop the… -
Re: m1911a1 WIP
Ok, so you can see your problem triangles in your low. Those harsh values are getting baked to the normal map and synced to your low poly mesh. You can fix this a number of ways. I recommend baking using Handplane. It can help depending on what program you are using to display your model in. You can also use a synched… -
Re: Creating Albedo/Specular/Smoothness textures for scratched metal
Scratches would be mostly in the gloss/roughness map, and which values you would use will generally be determined by some simple logic. First, ask yourself what the properties of the base material are? Then, consider how those properties would change if you scratched into the surface of the material. Assuming you have a… -
Re: Underwater Scene - Unreal Engine 4
Updating time! Oooh caustics :poly105: Since last time I got my water plane to look good from both sides using this material input: So underwater you can see through the surface depending on your view angle. And above water there is no unnatural see through to the bottom. There is however an issue with my particles.. they… -
Re: The Tumbler
ok so, i just re-did the lighting to sort out the massive orange problem in the other tunnel (it's half worked, there isn't any oraange glow over there now, but the point lights over there are still not working right) and it's caused another problem. It seems that for the previous images, the emissive for the lights is set… -
Re: M2 Browning 50Cal
Definately helps, ive been thinking i should model the entire bipod and the ammo box to make the overall look more interesting, it would add more variety. Alot of the details that will be added are missing are probably because i didnt make a normalmap yet, other than some fine surface stuff. So far i havnt spent near… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Ben Strasser/ Environment Artist
Hey dude, Good process so far. Nice little set dressing details you have going. The wires and pipes. Here is a quick paint over i did, with some suggestions. Fixes: >The Railing and pipes, need to have a connecting object. A small metal trim for the railing areas, and the pipes that are going into the wall some…
