ZBrush - Moving along the surface
Hello, Now I know that when using the "Move Brush" if you press hold ALT while sculpting, the surface is deformed perpendicularly (i.e. along the normal to the surface). I wanted to know if it was possible to use the Move Brush to deform along the surface. Like moving the surface of a sphere without it producing any bumps… -
Re: Any trick for hard surface retopo?
The actual fix to this problem isn't using a special program. It is planning your modelling workflow correctly. Definitely do NOT use tools designed for characters on hard surface assets. Any quad draw program will be a poor way to make a hard surface mesh over good ole polymodelling. Doing hard surface in Zbrush costs… -
KOSEI3D Outsource Art Production Studio
Greetings! Kosei3D is a game art production team built around the idea of structure and individuality. We combine structured production workflows with a flexible artistic approach, adapting to different visual styles and project needs.

A deep lecture on surfaces by crtl+Paint
I got a note that ctrl+Paint has got some new offerings on their store that might help you with your surfaces. The newest offering explores making realistic surfaces for your objects and environments as well as work flows on how to achieve them. He's got a sample video that I'll link below for your perusal. The surface… -
Maya: combining polygon surfaces
I need to find a fast, automatic method for combining 2 polygon surfaces. The idea would be similar to a Boolean, but on more of a 2D scale. Please take a look at the image "quad-transition1.jpg". The highlighted ring is a quad strip drawn with the new modeling toolkit. I want to combine this with the surrounding surface,… -
Re: Paint vertex normals in 3dsmax
@Klunk: The problem with projecting/transferring the actual normals of a mesh is that it's a closed surface (at least usually, maybe you could break things up into many smaller units, but then you'd have to manipulate those somehow). Imagine you want to comb your vertex normals sharply in one direction over a larger area:… -
Animate a car rising through a surface
Hi! I am going to model the car in the attached photo and make an animation where it rises up from the surface beneath it. First, only the flat surface is visible, then the car starts to emerge from the surface, until it reaches the height in the photo. Modelling the car and animating it’s movement is not a problem - the… -
Question about Non-Planar surface
Hi Polycount, I've been doing a hard-surface modeling for this futuristic baton: I've begun working on a handle. However, Im faced with problems: Non-planar surfaces. The handle is supposed to resemble hand-gun handle. It's a tough geometry to model. so today I've been re-working the handle, because it just looked too… -
Organic Hard Surface modeling?
Hi Im kind of new around here so my apologies to any mistakes made but hopefully i can contribute to the community... So my question is have i made up "organic hard surface modeling?" I have had a look around on the interwebs and all i come across is debates about what programs do what and that's not what i care about.… -
Sub-D, inset on curved surface?
hey hey.. im currently workin on a high-p piece that will require a rectangular inset on a curved surface.. my problem is that i cant find a good meshflow to make this look right w/o pinching. take a look at these example pics: 1. flat surface = inset looks right 2. curved surface (well kinda but u get the idea..) surface…
