The Roguemeister just introduced #md to start.com/3/ and I thought I'd share it here. First, go to www.start.com/3/ and make it your homepage. You can customize this site with any news sites that support RSS or ATOM formats. To add some sites to the page either do so by checking out the "Favorites" by clicking on "Start"…
I'm working on a character and i'm having some problems with the skin. I've used MakeHuman to build the base mesh and MD to create the clothes. Unfortunately, MakeHuman doesn't have anything other than a diffuse texture for the skin. I've tried to use Bitmap2Material and NDO to generate a good normal to work with based on…
Big update! The character is now fully clothed and got his mechanical arm. Sadly I didn't get around to post as regularly as I wanted to, so here's a progress GIF of how I made the robot limb. It started with a basic blockout of the silhouette, then I sculpted the big shapes. The last step was manual retopology and a…
Creepy skin xD Creepy hairshader too. I think she looks real sturdy for an older woman. I like the tattoo on the back, but not the scars, at least not like this, they really need the blood and poison leaking :3 Also, even if I think the tattoo is really cool, is the rising sun representative of this person? I mean, isn't…
UPDATE No_01 Finished the first dress in MD from the series! And also started working on 3 others already! I have looots of references of the outfits I want to recreate, so I decided to create the outfits in small batches of 3-4 outfits in MD at once before moving to Zbrush for clean-up and later texturing. This way I'll…
Update One: Have started throwing some clothes together in Marvelous Designer! Today was very slow as I have never used MD before, so was just trying to get familiar with the tools and how it all works. Went through a rough patch but feeling pretty confident-ish to go forwards and tackle the rest of the clothes! I thought…
Anything that uses Nvidia systems (ie: CUDA or Optix) wouldn't be trivial to port to a system that has AMD specific hardware acceleration support. I imagine MD uses CUDA rather than Optix. So they would need to port to DirectCompute, which is the D3D equivalent of CUDA. DXR is analogous to Optix, so if apps or games only…
well i made my choice, i accepted an enviropnment artist pos. at Travellers Tales last night. they made a really good offer and i had already made them wait around a bit while i was talking to other companies. most significantly Bizzare creations, who, i think were gonna make me an offer but had to wait for their MD to gte…
Long time no update. I spent the last few weeks working through Gunslinger model. I was able to make some real gains on the shirt mesh. I found Marvelous Designer does a decent job with all the nifty wrinkles and folds, but at this point it leaves me with a lot of clean up in Zbrush. So, I modified my workflow for this. I…
