damn dude- I remeber seein this guy a year or so ago, and at the time I remember thinking it was pretty booty. You`ve come a long way man, and now its looking pretty promising! Props for trying to paint this all by hand, but unless your shooting for that hand painted look, using photo ref texture overlays are always your…
to clarify what i meant by a mask texture - routinely i'll use a texture as a mask, with each mask contained within a single texture in each channel - so a 24bit tga has 3 masks, one for each channel. Within your group, you can double click it and set its channel - so ill have 3 groups within a "Mask" group, each…
Thats a good idea Johny. I wonder how much AO you could fake using that technique? The table looks like its a custom texture? So he might be able to paint/bake some lighting into the defuse, same with the other props. If the floor is a fully unwrapped texture all to itself you could paint the shadows right into it as well…
hey, good to see some more teesside graduates on here! your work looks good, and your website definately does the job it needs to, my only issue is that you only have one finished character, and that one is a little strange. the whole old man with his pants stuffed with money is a bit unusual, so that might work against…
so in that case the specular map is the albedo when it comes to metal? in which case any metal albedo should be mainly a flat color since it is the roughness that defines the surface. you'd also need to add dirt etc ontop then have that black on the metalness map as well as isolating it on the roughness. seems more complex…
For your second time in zbrush that arm is pretty good. If you want to improve it the surfaces need to be more defined. Take a look at anatomy reference and think of the muscles in angles and blocky shapes. Exaggerate the blockiness, use trimdynamic if you have to. Then you can fill up the crevices and smooth it out where…
Those represent the gods for each part (following mythological order about each element and who is in representation of that). Far for being able to define the throne, I can say is going to be shaped to Aletheia (Veritas), and from where love (Aphrodite) and Strife (Eris) will surround the throne with some representation…
yeah...I'd like to say that it's because our economy and by extension our unemployment numbers currently suck...but i suspect that attitude has been around longer than that. I think Xenophobia is entirely too strong a word to describe the average American attitude towards people from outside the country..but i don't know a…
Hey Mak!, It's good to see that you are still developing as an artist. I like your grass and dirt texture but your stone is fairly weak. This is due to the spacing and you could make the edges a bit more defined/sharper. The wood is getting there the defined dark strokes are a nice touch but the rest of the strokes look…
everyone keeps overlooking why people are upset about Dante. We are not upset because its pathetic hair and scrawny figure. We are upset because its Dante, an already defined character with pathetic hair and scrawny figure. I would much prefer it if they made the new Dante a new character completely, rather than modify an…
