Hey Odium, Its always good to concept out what you want to make before you actaully make it,so you dont have to do it as your going. but just want to see if these are just being made for fun or they will be in your project? Seeing as how you present yourself i would think the quality of your material is most important, i…
Hi. Lower your pants in front of a mirror and lift your leg like your character. There is kind of a crease in there, as skin becomes compressed. Anyway, when you feel that topology and weight painting aren't enough to get the result you want, the ultimate technique to solve this kind of intersection problem is called…
I got a Surface Pro 3 like 2 days ago, and granted, all I've done is sketch stuff in Sketchbook but man, N-Trig pen is FUCKED. The pressure is just so little for me, it draws all over the place where my hand is and I cannot even perceive how you can use Photoshop or Zbrush with this tiny UI and little to no pressure…
:) the terrain near Sonoma is very similar to much of Northern New Mexico. There area right at Sonoma has more interesting sand and wind blasted rock formations. The terrain of new Mexico varries a lot. If youre wanting to keep the breaking bad vibe then you're going to want lots of scrub brush, some sage, the occasional…
Thanks for the feedback Nick. The model is using Metalness workflow. The metalness map is in the bottom right corner of the texture sheet I posted. It's the one that is black and white. The roughness is on the bottom left, normal is on the top left, and albedo is on the top right. I've been going back and forth on how much…
First of all never let someones limiting beliefs influence you. It can be posionous and I really believe if you want something, someone telling you all the reasons why you "Cant" do that just isnt going to help anyone. So no matter if its the president or gandhi, he is a person like me or you, born and will die haha. With…
just as a general inspiration to solve unique texture tasks: Camera mapping: http://www.cgarchitect.com/resources/tutorials/misc/tutorial2.asp it can also be nice to blend or bridge seams in texture maps without the need of BodyPaint 3d, Mudbox or Photoshop CS4 Pro. I want to write a script that simplifies that process…
this would be your basic setup for a reflection. if you were using a cubemap you would skip the component mask, but since i want a 2d texture to be reflected it's needed. by multiplying it with the spec map we're determining where things should be more or less reflective - just like the normal use of a spec map is…
Looks great, you mentioned that you wanted to increase your productivity here's some ways get used to the shortcut keys in your application, create your own. Zbrush's interface has the best choice in optimization of toolbars and panels I've seen. Especially that you can place them anywhere you want in your workspace which…
bugo, Depend what kind of atmosphere you are looking for, If you want a house I suggest looking outside the city. Theres a lot of very nice town around where you can find a very nice house. And the drive to montreal is not so bad. You can even take the Train from many of thoses small town. If not you can rent an…
