Re: Rivet Gun - Bioshock2
Very nice and clean bake. Two things that irk me about the model though. I don't like how the handle area just intersects into the rest of the gun. Also, while you may have been following the concept, I really don't like the square grip. It'd dig into your hands really quickly! It's not worth fixing these, but things I… -
Re: Is marmoset good for rendering small environment scenes?
I am using marmoset for characters but I dont see any reason why you cant use it for environments. You can use HDRI light and also add many light sources and adjust everything very easily. The best thing in marmoset is the speed. I am painting my textures in ps and 3d coat and as soon as I press save, the map is… -
Re: Motivates/Motivated
Threads like these are always fun regardless~ I think what motivates me most is the challenge as I see no merit in doing something that is easily obtained. I dont really see much worth in working in a standard office job as its a skillset I could learn quickly and thats just dull, I want an area that i can grow… -
Re: Anatomy Practice sculpt
I'd say you're heading into detailing way too quickly, spend more time on the lower sub-divisions before moving up. Making sure that the shape/form feels right. It's never really too early to get some shots up here and get feedback to be honest, to earlier you do it the easier it will be for us and for you to get direction… -
Re: Anyone mess with Maya 8 yet?
Yeah, I've been using the beta for several months now. I didn't get a chance to dig too deep into the newer stuff, but the Attribute Transfer (or whatever it's called) is awesome! You can shrink-wrap your low-poly over your high-poly mesh very quickly. You can generate UVs ona mesh based on another mesh (UV low rez, copy… -
Re: How you learned to paint?
There's no better way to learn than using real paint. Get some acrylic or gouache, which dry quickly, and it will force you to lay down your strokes without fussing over them. Greg Manchess uses confident, painterly brush strokes but has an excellent eye for value. He has a tutorial DVD for sale at Massive Black that is… -
Re: FINALLY! ILoveSketch
I can see elements of the workflow of this app being integrated in to general 3d apps- imagine setting up your base edgeloops for your mesh- you could then create the cage from it whether it's for nurbs or tris. It wouldn't be the whole process that uses this method but another means of quickly laying down the volumes.… -
Re: [UDK] Water Temple Environment
Very nice breakdowns, sir! With regards to the scene overall though, I think that you still need some sort of lighting contrast in the hallway leading into the distance, as it just seems to go to black quite quickly. This (to me) reduces the scene 'interest' in quite a sizeable area of the image. As well as this, the… -
Re: Autodesk smarts
For someone unfamiliar with the app, and wanting to get up to speed quickly, standard shortcuts would be beneficial when following tutorials. I know users are asking a lot from Autodesk, it's not easy owning the entire 3D animation industry. They could create an updated and efficient hotkey set and release it as an install… -
Re: Brendon Dalgado - 3D Modeler
I agree with felipefrango, your flash website is far too large for the average internet user/employer. If you don't have fast internet, it takes awhile to load. I have 135mbps speeds and this still takes a long time to load anything and i lose interest. Simple portfolio websites are better unless you want to be hired for…
