Plasticity Learning Exercises
Hello! I started learning Plasticity recently and wanted to share some of my thoughts about the software. Maybe this will be interesting for people like me, who have a poly-modeling background and consider giving CAD a go. First of all I was pleasantly surprised how "artist" friendly Plasticity is. The interface is very… -
Re: Rickenbacker Bass Guitar
I decided to re-assess my this pieces' textures ... again :) The original was too plain. The second was too overly chipped and the wear was too "painted on". I have learn much about texturing since then and I believe this is a major improvement. Less chipping, more roughness variation and more based on real examples. I'm… -
Re: Maya batch rendering too slow
Maya bakes fine (except for AO perhaps), and baking and rendering are two different things :) What are you trying to render? And what renderer are you using? I dont remember it as being particularly slow, unless the FG and GI were off the charts -
The Tao Te Bling
here it is, i love this movie "If nobody comes down here and buys a car in the next hour, I'm gonna club this baby seal. That's right! I'm gonna club this seal to make a better deal. You know I'll do it, too, cause I'm crazy. " -

Re: Borderlands and Codehunters- Too Close?
Having a few superficially similar traits obviously means two things are identical. Instead of drawing more detailed comparisons, let's just keep bringing up the fact that they share certain superficially similar traits. That will get the argument somewhere! Borderlands and max payne both use EXACTLY the same type of 32… -
Re: Sculpting Too Soon, A Bad Thing?
Sculpting is really divorced from modelling. They are two totally different things(they arent but they are). You can create basemeshes and whatever in other programs but when you sculpt your not modelling anymore. Its fluid its fast, its fun, its a whole different skillset. Learning it whenever will be no detriment. -
Re: Is this lowpoly too much?
I second the advice. Long triangles can also introduce shading issues. So here better aim for a cleaner topology instead. The golden rule is as few geometry as possible, but as much as needed. And here the extra geometry would be needed. Edge loops can with a few common techniques also be send in other directions ... As a… -
Re: Unwrapping a Sphere?
I am a bit puzzled to figure out what's your issue with the sphere here. Usually people just do geosphere from Max or isosphere from Blender, or just subdivided cube , make a seam along equator and relax two circular uv islands a bit . it's not a big difference really. Then you bake whatever hires mesh you have. Normal map… -
