Re: Old Fuel Pumps
The texture is a mess of noise and doesn't really read as the material its supposed to be at all. It reads more as leather than anything. You need to study materials and how they act, simply throwing a rust metal overlay when you want to do rusty metal isn't going to get you anywhere close to where you want to be. You need… -
Re: Motivation to work when you get home
I have also fell victim to the not being able to work much at home after work. I think mainly this is due to having worked a 40hour internship + 20hrs of college classes with working on my folio durring college really burned a lot out of me and any kind of social life for the last 9 months of college. All paided off nicley… -
Re: Marmoset Toolbag - MASTER THREAD
Hey guys. I am using 3ds max 2010 and when I exported my mesh to marmoset I had most of my seams visible. After some reading here and there I finally flipped the green channel and it is looking pretty good now.Just one more thing it is not clear for me now: sorry if it is covered before cause I did not read every single… -
Re: New Concepts (large images)
yes, i completely agree with spacemoney's avatar. i also agree that there are 'stuff' hard to read. if i were to model that gun-dude (this is an incredibly hypothetical proposition mind you) i wouldn't know what's in front of what, how do things look like, etc. in some areas it feels like the forms simply don't open up… -
Re: What Blender Tasks Are Still Wasting Your Time? Looking for Real Automation Targets
I read this carefully, and you’re not crazy; this is a real gap in most organic pipelines. Your problem isn’t “retopo” in the traditional sense. It’s that decimation destroys semantic edge information, and every downstream step (cleanup, seam placement, iteration) is paying that tax again and again. Autoseams fail because… -
Saga Fan Art
Who here reads Saga? Answer: All the cool cats! Bodies made in Zbrush, heads in 3dsMax, clothing in Marvelous Designer (which I'm LOVING), textured in Quixel Suite (which I'm ALSO loving). Alright, so what did I learn for next time? Hrrm... 1. The rifle strap was modeled as part of the jumpsuit mesh. That was a mistake.… -
Realistic Lighting - Can't Avoid Black Edges at Wall Intersections
Hi, I'm currently working an an ArchVis project and I'm trying to achieve the most aesthetic and believable results from the lighting bake. However I keep getting black seams at my wall intersections no matter what I do. What can I do to fix this and avoid this in the future? My walls are UV mapped and I made sure that the… -
Re: Stephen King writes comics
oXY, that is why I have hope for his latest endvor. The art alone could carry the book and his name will sell well. I wasn't saying Dark Tower fits his mold, I was saying I hope he gives birth to something new instead of digging into is old bag of tricks. aesir, I have read everything I listed. I can go into great detail… -
Re: AI Usage in Indie Games
Well, yea, it's now up to C-suite to decide what is less expensive; paying their art/development teams as per usual, or using generative AI and taking a... now I'm totally guessing here; maybe a 5-10% potential revenue loss. Or at my work; paying the devs and also taking the reputation hit. Double whammy, wheee! I wish I… -
Re: Panther Vehicle - Improving modeling and texturing skills
I actually think this is a really solid High Poly, especially as only 3rd year Uni work. Nice job so far man. Like you said, the tires still need some work, right now they are just far far to smooth to get any sort of traction. Even if the tires were a rubber texture, they are near F1 style "flat" tread, made for heating…
