I spent the past 4 years not using it, as I was doing sci-fi hard surface guns and robots for a third person shooter without the ridiculous level of stylized damage that Gears of War has. I would rarely use it for specific objects but in general most of the stuff I was making was metal, plastic, etc. Now I'm doing more…
Updated the original post. Thanks to TeriyakiStyle for recommending Pinterest. Truly does make things slightly easier. I'm no where near done. I'll try to update this as often as I can. Update Log: July 11th 2014* - Removed bad information. Thanks to metalliandy for pointing these out. * - Added a section for Pinterest…
So... I'm modeling in zbrush again. This is kind of terrifying for me, because although I've done it before and really enjoyed it, it's been like 9 months since I've touched it. I've always had a fair degree of anxiety regarding any kind of 3D modeling (got a bad start with Maya in school), so I just kept putting it off.…
Basically, the tools I've been using the most for this are the hPolish and DamStandard brushes. After I've built up the basic forms (1), I go back and forth with hPolish until I get a definite edge (2). It's a little hard to see, but next I pop out the edge some with the DamStandard set to Zadd (3). After that, I can…
I'M ALIVE A ton of traveling, lost files/progress due to a broken Cintiq Companion in another country, and some tears later I have some updates! I'm like 99% done with the high poly of Snake. Mostly finishing the little stuff. Fix some folds and polishing. Have also been working on his fibermesh hair for some better…
Always good hearing from you Havoc :) ...I think i most certainly have gotten better :D glad someone who has known me as long as you sees it too... Def need to catch up, i got big news; ill pm you sometime soon its been a while since ive done anything without it being 100% hand painted...i am digging the result I am…
Mr Grimm- would you ping posting up a wire frame of yours, yo also seem to have the mood setup as well. Interested. Jasper Hope- I think your grabbing to many colors for the basic color scheme. Also, what's the polys on both sides combined? Mache- Going to enjoy seeing yours, is it going to be a stylized version?…
Thanks for the feedback Steppenwolf! I was a little bummed that I wasn't getting much love on the forum :) I do have a couple questions for you in regard to handcrafted textures: are you talking about stylized, hand-painted, or anything else in particular? My high level workflow for all textures breaks down into either…
Started to set dress! Most of the new shaders are temporary. I can work on this until the 12th, then I have to get back to the main outdoor enviro. It's strange cause I tried to do a fairly realistic look but it feels like a stylized miniature model. People told me they mistook the thumbnail for a photo, but there is…
i'm not an arborist myself but I wonder if maybe another texture or two with some differently rotated leaves, plus just a little more variation in the cards rotation would give more realism. Just seems like I can see a little too much of a pattern in the placement. Light coming from above with the translucent leaves looks…
