Re: [Zbrush] Retopo and "finishing" a concept sculpt
When you say to bake the details in do you mean to use the concept sculpt onto the retopo for baking details? My concern is that since its just a rough dynamesh sculpt that baking from it will bake the muddy unrefined details of the concept sculpt onto the finished model. I guess I'm just not certain if I should take the… -
Re: Blended normals hack for fake SSS
Speculars are actually still quite big. We use a full raytracing renderer (Arnold) and we still do a lot of speculars on everything because it's a good thing. Also, for skin, it's a pretty neat effect, especially if you can separate normal map intensity (surface bumpiness) for diffuse shading and speculars. It will mimic… -
Re: Metalness PBR in BabylonJS seems to be buggy
AO should only really occlude indirect light so that is a bit shonky. The rough metal ball is a grey area I think - appearance will depend greatly on what they're doing with the microsurface light scattering calculations and what they're doing to the IBL in it's way through the Shader. Once the metalllc map becomes white… -
Re: [WIP] BiRB - The Anthropomorphic Chicken
Update- Retopology has been done and Displacement maps are working in Arnold Going to explore Mari for further texture work. Built a Deformation skeleton, that is working better than expected on base weights. Started Rigging. Its going slow since I am trying a new workflow with some new techniques but seems to be going… -
Re: Where is softimage?
Softimage future is pretty solid. Autodesk sell it alone or in a suite with mudbox, motionbuilder and Max or Maya (and mudbox and motion builder also have solid future). Seems in Japan the suit is composed by Softimage as main application. Avid cancelled the Foundation release, not Autodesk, and AD decrease the price, from… -
Re: Seeking advice ( about laptop setup )
I've been working away from my workstation for the last few months and had to get a laptop. I'd never worked on one before and was dreading it but, it's actually not too bad at all. For around your budget I got a Dell Inspiron 15 gaming LT. I'm running 3dsMax, Zbrush, Substance Painter, UE4, Arnold and Keyshot for… -
Re: ArrtUnitFive's anatomy studies.
Really stop working on muscle structures until you have your proportions right. The torso/ shoulder are way too wide and a bit short, the legs are too short, the legs are too thick ( especially the calf), the feet are to small, and the head is a bit too big. Even if you are going for body builder proportions it is off.… -
Re: The Worst Healthy Foods
nutrition is an interesting thing. It all depends on your matabalism, and your goals. I for one have an extremly high matabalism, which is even more compounded by the fact im a endurance athlete. I take in 3500 calories a day, and that "maintains" my weight at 185lbs. So for the average fat person, looking to shed some… -
Nocturnal Harmony
Hi Geeks! First time posting here after years of reading useful posts about many useful process and problem solving :) I'd like to share with you my new artwork: I passed years working essentially with Mental Ray in 3ds Max, therefore we can say this is my first "big" project using Arnold, it was a lot of fun discovering… -
Sketchbook: CobaltCC
Hi everyone. I'm very new here, the last time I used Polycount was in 2017 for the Riot Games art contest. I'm back as a student in Animation and Visual Effects, so I figured it would be wise to post things here. I just finished my freshman year and while my work isn't the best, I want to have it here to keep track of my…
