Do you have any skills in 2d art and figure drawing? Unfortunately, and it might not be the best critique to hear, but it seems like the best way for you to understand how to model organic shapes is to take a step back and practice some 2d drawing. I feel that for people trying to get into 3d character modeling, having a…
I've decided to not use the Zsphere veins that I made last week. While it was a good learning exercise, the results of mesh projection simply left too much clean up work to be worthwhile. As the human basemeshes are in a good spot, I'm revisiting older work; the vampires, and applying the anatomical skills I've been…
Am I wrong thinking, if someone wanted to ask ai instead of people, the person would have done so? I feel like filling a forum with chathgpt generated content is just not a great idea. On the other hand AI chewing on itself, because everything it finds is its own generation will only help deteriorate it... Everything this…
I really enjoyed the traditional art classes at college, as well as art history and the cinematography classes. I feel got quite a lot out of them. ...not soo much from the 3D classes though. Except for the 3D part I felt pretty well prepared...but 3D is just practice practice practice. No matter if self taught or college,…
i distinctly remember playing one of those in 1998 more srsly gaussian splatting and nerfs are actually a pretty interesting model for representing complex volumetrics like fur and foliage they absolutely don't hold up for solids - zoom in on the demos posted to see evidence - and my understanding at this point is that…
Hi Polycount! I thought to share my recent likeness study here too. I Practiced recreating Cassian Andor (portrayed by Diego Luna) with a real-time render in Unreal Engine 5. Artstation link: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/8BG5E6 Thanks for looking. Even though I am finished with this project I am still happy to hear…
The model is alright but i like it just. Subject matter is pretty bland--somewhat orgrish looking chump with normal maps. He's naked. It's alright but the anatomy is a bit wonked and he's got a case of the playdoughs. You should work on distributing polies better in that low poly. His poor chest is a cutting board and the…
Yeah that's what I suspect too. I did several reverse image searches before I started this with no results. I wanted to find a rough looking painting to use as a reference for this modeling practice. I am not big fan of AI, but that was closest to the kind I had in mind at the time. Point of this was to test this style and…
Hi! Perhaps you find some useful info on the Concept wiki page I think the base of many environment concepts is a 3d blockout. For example concepts could be done on top of renders of a greybox level, or the current level state to explore options. I think a crucial part when fleshing out an idea, whether 2d or 3d, is…
Jacko, you got a job!! Last I knew you were still looking--like me!! Hey, I've been drawing for 30 years. It's not as hard as it looks. Listen to the instructor. I thought I knew everything about drawing and my instructor proved me wrong. Use a lot of motion with your arms and think in circles and cylinders. Practice,…
