Also, jsut found this about next release: ''This is a proposal for work focus on blender.org for the coming year. I’ve written this because we keep missing bigger development targets – we don’t have enough time for larger projects. Instead too much time goes to releases, bug fixing, reviews, maintenance and support topics.…
The real trick to zbrush is to understand how its a painting program at heart. Everything boils down to this, from its the ability to push millions of vertices on outdated hardware to even the names Pixologic and Zbrush. Its design has more in common with Photoshop than it does Blender or Maya, so it really helps to think…
For those that use Maya, here's a script I wrote a while back that does the same thing: //name: QuadConnect//by: PolyhertzstartQuadConnect;global proc startQuadConnect (){global string $curObj[], $vrts2Tweak[];string $origList[];$origList = `ls -sl -fl`;$edjList = `filterExpand -ex 1 -sm 32`;polySplitRing -stp 2 -div…
here goes: i like the fantasy cave overall but there's a few things letting it down - firstly your particles for the waterfall are all the same rotation and the repitition is very obvious - try giving them a random rotation and maybe more randomness in the alpha value too so there's some variation in the intensity. The god…
I agree with Perna, if you're doing this to learn I think you bit off more than you could chew and you should start out on something other than a gun, they can be incredibly complex and require a high degree of skill to do. A simple handgun takes a lot of skill to model and Per is right you don't just stumble onto "talent"…
Hmm... I redid some stuff and individually unwrapping the objects works. I don't know exactly what I did wrong, but it is working now, which is nice. for whoever is interested, here's how it works: /*-------------------------------------------------------------- OPTIO_batch_unwrapper Unwraps selection with semi-default…
Download this node for free on my gumroad! Summary I made a tile generator node in Substance Designer that can create tiles of different sizes in both X and Y axises at the same time, without intersecting shapes and can semi-reliably avoid straight seams across the canvas. The user can customize the number of tiles…
Welcome to polycount! 1st, this probably belongs in P&P? 2nd, I agree with everything above. I like some of the rigging and modeling nice work =) You've got a lot of the technical hurdles taken care of. 3rd, <<!! INCOMING WALL-O'-TEXT !!>> At the risk of sounding like a dick I'm going to rip this whole thing apart.…
I've managed to edit it down to 998 words, JUST under the limit. May edit more, but here's my progress. Will convert to PDF soon. PROJECT: HUNT (Edited Down) “Shit.” Vi gazed at the mangled corpse at the end of the room. She wrinkled her nose when a sickly scent engulfed her. What disgusted her wasn’t the smell of the…
Well, I am probably an exception to the rule but I'm much less likely to buy software licenses if the software doesn't run on Linux. I will occasionally make exceptions for software that's unique like Zbrush, IPackThat, Toolbag, or Substance Designer (both of which I have a license for) but otherwise I almost never buy…
