Any UV island you don't want to bake you can temporally move to a different UV tile (usually to the right, perhaps down or to the left if you're using UDIMs). You could do it permanently as well, but it might be slightly less efficient:…
It's a bit pedantic but 'How was it done?' and 'How can it be done?' are two different questions. How was it done? Likely sculpted in Zbrush. Probably using a combination of custom alphas and brushes for the smaller details. (Possibly incorporating some remeshing or retopology steps to refine the larger shapes.) Sculpting…

Agreed, especially regarding the bedroom and the professor layton piece looking great. The only thing that stood out negatively to me immediately was the UV layout of the market stand. There doesn't seem to be a good reason to have the tabletops/shelves rotated at 45 degrees and have the edges stick out that way, only to…
not just that no - I've not done a great job of explaining myself :) there are a number of use cases As a high-res to low-res transfer example - and sticking with trees: in your source model (the picture i drew before) You can use speedtree to assign vertex color values by index to leaves/branches, you can also apply a…
Hi, I've been mulling over a few game designs for a number of years now whilst self learning the trade, as I'm sure we all do. I've recently boiled my current various designs down to a specific subset or genre if you will, and I've been developing the common framework technology behind them over the past few months. All of…
Is there an art IQ test? People say there no such thing as talent in art or it not that important to focus on. But, then if art is like athletics you could get screwed by not having the correct genetics. Even if you trained as hard as say Usain Bolt you wouldn't be able to beat him as he has such better genetics than your…
Hello, I am trying to streamline hair-cards in Blender and really want to use Fibershop to generate the textures. However when I go to the CGPal website, the website comes up as unsafe. Is it unsafe to download? Are there any good alternatives to Fibershop that work similarly? Thanks
Hello, I would like to ask few questions about three maps which can be baked in Substance painter. I was trying to search more informations about this but i am unfortunately not able to find how are this maps generated. From what ? Lets say that i am baking these maps just low poly to low poly , no high poly. How is…
nice start on the face plane studies but you are still too attached to your initial base mesh. you are not altering your base mesh that much if any in terms of the basic shape and silhouette of the head. red line shows how similar all of these heads are. try to make your face plane study more generic like so that you…
