Hypothetical because I won't be going to great lengths to make it a functioning game. At the moment it's just a modeling exercise. I also have outdated concept art. I will redo these as I go along, apart perhaps from the cyclops. Right now I've started on a base male model. I'm not going for uber low-poly, but still…
Hi, I'm new to 3D (I don't even know what is a diffuse map) and I tried to do a bust in Zbrush since I suck at polygonal modeling. What do you think ? I spent approximately 1 day on it. Here is the next thing I'm working on, I wanted to animate it but I think that I'll just go step by step, a little further every time I…
so i was trying to pose a character's arms with transpose master, but the second i mask an area holding down CTRL, zbrush just crashes everytime. i tried this with the default zbrush soldier model and it works fine, so im assuming something is wrong with the basemesh but i dont know what. i exported it back to maya to…
Hi! Probably this has been asked many times, but I couldn't find much information anywhere... I know the classic cookie cutter sprites, and the branch-plane extrusion method. But this doesn't seem to cut it when I look at the SpeedTree screenshots. I have never had the chance to look at a SpeedTree model and was wondering…
I'm sure this is a noobie problem, but... I decided to model very simple coffin so I could train texturing. I tried to weld some faces in uvw unwrap editor, but there are some "frozen" vertices. I've painted the problem area in red. I cant select the vertices from that polygon but I can select it as a face or edges. All…
I just purchased Rockstars table tennis on the XBOX and was blown away by its graphics, as I have only had the console since christmas. What I was really wondering is how do they make such believable fabric work like that in realtime, as well as getting the Normal Maps to look right when the shirt is deformed. How many…
Edit UVWs -Select Overlapped Polygons. This will not work with overlapped UVs from making an array of the same sub object. Is there an actual Select Overlapped UVWs hidden option or a script plugin that does the same thing? Better yet, is there a reasonable priced packer that respects overlapped UVs? The max default will…
Started harassing polygons after years of deep slumber, turns out tech advanced a lot and everything seems to be much easier and simple now. In the other hand I still have tons to catch up with. Decided to go serious on this one, a fantasy character, some kind of eastern warrior with a big bad ass pole arm weapon (Quan…
Greetings Everyone, I am new in the World of modeling and game development. I got maya trough a friend at school and started reading on how model. I tryed to create a low-poly sword, and it came out pretty well (as far as I know). One question though, how can I reduce the polycount on the handle. If I set the axis…
Do you ever just start modeling with no plan at all, or do you always have refs and a plan? I always have my tablet/tablet with me and just start playing with polygons or sculpts between classes and during lunch break. I find that I come up with some interesting WIPs but finishing them is way slow because there is no…
