Re: Why you should NOT trust 3ds Max's viewport normal-map display!
Tangent space is really damaging to my self-esteem. No matter what combination of edge breaking, unwrapping and highpoly fitting I try, I cannot, for the life of me, get a normalmapped 12-tri cube to render rounded edges. There is ALWAYS some sort of seam on the corners or the edges, even in using xNormal to bake; it makes… -
Re: Graphic Tablet for skulpting in Zbrush
I got a cheap tablet and it did everything it said it would but felt clunky and my drawing was hampered by it. I bought a Wacom Intuous 3 about 7 years ago and it was a massive leap. I still draw better with pencils and papers but this came a lot closer. Ultimately it's its own medium. I would never recommend buying a… -
Re: SketchBook: Stinger88
Well. My GPU has exploded and I'm just about to order a new PC. So until it arrives i'm computerless. Well at least a computer I can work on anyway. So I decided to actually draw something...with a real pencil!!! wow...Its been about 2 years. So where better to start than with my favourite study subject, Clint. I worked… -
Re: First Digital Painting
your perspective is pretty solid it looks like, did you color a pencil sketch or all digital. The main thing that you need to work on it looks like is your lighting. Establish a source for the light and look at how the planes of the ship are oriented to that. Using basic solid blocks of color define your basic shapes.(im… -
Re: Re-topology tools
Hehe East I hear you :) I think topology 'drawing' slowly got on my nerves because of it's implementation being a little broken in quite a few cases. I remember having difficulties connecting such created grids (can't remember if it was in Silo or PB...) and I slowly got less excited about it. As a matter of fact I think… -
Re: HELP!!!Creating 3D Space from a Photo Reference...
well there's a man sitting right there in the middle of the shot for reference. let's assume he's a little short, mostly for ease of measument, at 5ft tall standing. from there i would estimate the footbridge he's sitting on at 2.5ft wide and 10ft long with about 5ft between the foremost bridge and the next. i would also… -
Re: which tablet/pen do you use?
I use a Intuos 2 9X12 tablet with the stock pen, I paid $600-700 canadian 2 years ago (I would of gotten a 6X8 instead, but I had money to blow...), however it's cheaper these days. I've used a Graphire 2 before, it's still good, but not as comfterble as using a Intuos tablet. I also perfer intuos cause it has more of a… -
Re: What is the secret to low poly models looking good?
A solid texture can make a crappy low-poly mesh look awesome, where as a model with solid mesh can look turds with a shitty texture. What I'm getting at is the texture is the real main secret to low-poly models looking good. From a mesh point of view, its a combination of giving the low-poly mesh a strong silhouette and… -
Hand painted Textures *Redux* and other stuff
Had another topic, but its 7 months dead. sooo... *ahem* Long story short went away for a good 6 months due to a combination of me being an idiot on the forums, and moving across a few states. Im going to try and make some time to get back into making various textures. Just one texture for now. Going to try and pencil in… -
