Re: (UDK) Banjo-Kazooie: Banjo's House
Right, I should have mentioned. The rug only has a place-holder texture on it - the original 64x64 bitmap from the N64 game to be precise! :D The normal map is from a fabric material that I had ready for Banjo's mattress. I just finished texturing the three first books that share the same texture atlas: You're right… -
Re: Modern Worflow? I have no clue :(
1. Block out, either in a sculpting package or Max/maya. 2. Create a basemesh (Normally in Max/Maya, or you can quickly retopo the blockout) 3. Sculpt 4. Create low poly and UV (you can use retopology and UV tools like 3dcoat or topogun) 5. Bake AO, normal, cavity map, (Normally you use xnormal or what your engine has a… -
Re: Seeking Advice on entering the Gaming world, post college.
Being a "game designer" is too abstract these days. The industry has designers for different purposes. Time to get into something..specialize..like designing environenments for games? Level designer? It's just easier to get into and you have something to show in your portfolio detailing your workflow. You don't need to… -
Re: [WIP] Goshawk Bipedal Mech
Okay! So, long delay, it's been two months since I picked up on this properly, but that's because it hit crunch time with my course getting written work and the main project done and out of the way. Which sort of does take priority over a personal project. But, now my course is finished, and I have no excuse to actually be… -
Re: what are the most important basic skills and styles any "digital" artist should know?
Kind of bouncing off of what Dustin said, learn to absorb and learn from other artist's work (no matter the style or medium) but at the same time see that they are now the quality bar you have to be above to be competitive. A lot of artists, especially starting out, will see great work and immediately see them as "so good,… -
Re: 3D is no longer a hobby, working under pressure
Snaccum thats how I would normally reply, but this is my first and last year at this school and I know no one lol. Its the pressure of having to create 12 things myself, I am horrible at developing ideas and I wish I was told what to do or handed a concept. I don't mind modeling in my first period with the other AP… -
Re: Workflow to animate a face
1. I would open the mouth on a layer, its going to be easier to sculpt the lips this way anyway. You don't have to open it too far, just enough. I would also make sure your eye lids are half closed on a separate layer. 2. As for the topology just make sure it's appropriately set up when closed. If you have loops going… -
Re: A little help from the experienced! Improving workflow for 3D characters
"At this moment, I am creating a female warrior that I started sculpting in zbrush and she is equipped with all sorts of things (armour, leather straps, trousers, boots, a belt, fabrics, that count down from her waist, etc. etc.)." Think outside the box and work the other way around : Once your concept sheet is in a solid… -
Re: JHS
Hi my current project will be an sci-fi female suit. I´ll document it here a little bit more, because i never really built a character or human figure, so surely i will stumble on some points. First i built a lowpoly body on which i added more and more plating. The suit should be pretty tight to the body, so it shouldn´t… -
Re: Help me hand texture my (low poly) elf
Just to second what Pior has said here... and add a little. I think that this translates to all realms of art in general, even in 3d work (beyond your basic "blockout"). I highly recommend the book, and anything you can get your hands on that you feel will really aid you in becoming a better artist. The more you focus on…
