Re: Mudbox Whaleosaurus experiment
I really like the overall shape, freakin cool idea, not a bad sculpt either. I really like that you didn't rush to sub-d and spam-stamp dino scales all over it. Crits: - Flippers look to be made out of bone - The arm issue Ely brings up is valid and looks weird. I think the arms need more whale reference then human. Keep… -
Substance Painter - Problems with faceting around the ears and nose
Hello Hello Hello, I am new to game art. I sculpted a head in zbrush and zwrapped it to make a low poly. The problem I noticed is that there is ugly faceting around the nose and ears on the low poly. I was told to select soft edges to import into substance painter, but that doesn't solve the faceting around the ears and… -
Texel Density
Trying to understand texel density better. I don't come from a game background, so this is still relatively new to me. I'm working on a scene and decided I wanted everything to be 2048 texel density throughout. My first object to UV was a cannon and I split it up over two texture sets, one for wood, one for metal. I ran… -

Re: Sketchbook: Beowulf
i like the portrait. you have placed down values with a hard edged brush which is good. but choose areas to soften with a sof edge brush, to add interest . to work on your penmanship, think about line thickness relating to the distance of objects. closest being the thickest line. keep at it, 2d skillz is a life long… -
Re: How can I get a mask from tile sampler?
yeah. poopipe is right . those UV gradients or even splatter node are necessary only if you want to use Max (lighter) blending in between scattered things to get kind of proper height blend . ( like in the initial screen) But for leaves it could be just regular alpha blend since they are mostly flat things and laying one… -
Re: [WIP] Aftermarket MPX SMG (Looking for Criticism)
Ah ok. The technique is not application specific except for zBrush so you should be right. I think the thing with probooleans is that they allow ngons after being applied. I'm pretty sure Maya does the same. I'm using Blender and it allows ngons. Looking through the thread should give you a blow by blow description. I…
