Great post, just a few things here that I think are important to clarify: Generally, what you're referring to is called a reflection occlusion mask, and whether you need one of these varies heavily on the engine (as you pointed out above), I think referring to it simply as occlusion is little confusing. Reflection…
Tumblr is a bit limited with what it can do, I would look for a theme that supports high res images so you can get them to be larger than 500px wide (tumblr's limit for most things) About your actual work, you have a start but your stuff could use slightly better presentation. For the video of the room it really breaks the…
Okay bud maybe this will help... But you need to work on her s-curve from a side perspective, that clavicle isn't natural looking either... She looks off balance and your forms need allot of modifying. drop an image in Zbrush and compare your proportions. http://www.pinterest.com/pin/508695720383396614/…
Sorry 'bout the dicky-aspects of that post. Now that I look back on it, I was speaking from ignorance. I should have asked what was meant by "forms". I should also mention, that I'm a practicioner of the ol' satire. So if it comes across as insulting, try reading it in a high voice. The thing is, I want to learn how to…
Hey guys, I've made some solid strides over the past few weeks but I've hit a bit of a snag. When I export something with more than 50K points from zbrush to max it becomes invisible in max. I've tried flipping normals and just about every setting in there and I can't seem to get it to work. I read something that if your…
well, I wouldn't use payscale.com as a good reference - it's more like $45-50k and up depending on area. Still, I wouldn't recommend schooling unless the cost was around or under the $40k mark so avoid private for profit schools and look at Community College & State Universities. For the OP, you've already got an AA in…
I'll be making a video tutorial regarding that tomorrow or a day after. The tutorial will feature : Maya/3dcoat/Xnormal/Mubox/Meshlab/UDK/Cryengine. To summaries the tutorial : Some base rock models will be sculpted in mudbox (can also be done in 3dcoat) Then I'll export those basic rock models from mudbox to 3dcoat where…
Up that to $450-500 and you should be able to get a decent used laptop. If you want to run substance designer and painter $350 just isn't going to be enough. I'd say shoot for at least these specs: CPU: Quad Core at 2.6Ghz GPU: GTX 960M (equivalent to a desktop 750 ti) RAM: 8GB (hopefully expandable to 12 or 16GB) Screen:…
