wow... lil thread necromancy going on... There are a few more options for this kind of stuff. It's amazing what 4 years will do. Stand Alone Apps: http://www.topogun.com/ I hear topogun is the bees knees and worth the asking price. http://www.3d-coat.com/retopology/ And 3D Coat has some pretty cool retopology features,…
There wasn't a topic to gather all kinds of interesting reading/watching material. Now there is a topic to gather all kinds of interesting reading/watching material. Please post here all kinds of technical stuff, artsy stuff, talky stuff, but most of all interesting stuff. Feel free to link stuff you've made yourself. Only…
@Jason Young - Definitely; we've been struggling a bit with that. The upcoming revision completely overhauls the art style, and it should end up being a lot less generic, and much more unique and interesting. @creamtown - A bunch of artists contributed to this... while I'm certain a one or two artists working together…
I got the Asus Slate bout 3 months ago at microcenter fer bout $250 I see they r now at New EGG fer $190. Tested out an i7 surface book at Best Buy last night and although I am pretty sure that if I had zBrush or large texture files in Photoshop for testing there would probably be many instances of apparent performance…
You cant use normal measurements. Its all about feeling. I have created a character 183 Units high, in the console i use a command to set another camera heigth (x2.4). (Important is that camera level is not always eye level) FoV 85-90 degrees for Pc is good. [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blZUao2jTGA"]EPISODE 29…
It really depends on how unique the floors of the building are. If it's a traditional style building with right angles, you can get very far by using straight walled modular pieces. I'd make one outer wall mesh for an entire floor and then throw in room-walls like how one would make cubicles. And I wouldn't limit myself to…
Hi Zodd It would be nice to see your new texture maps. From what I can see your maps are using flat colours and havn't enough variation. You need to add some noise to them. Find an image of noise for the material you are creating and layer this over your texture. Below is an example from a quick google image search of what…
For making art, you'll want an IPS display for color accuracy. 2560x1440 and 2560x1600 high resolution displays are starting to come down in price. What is your budget? The cheapest korean panel 27" LED IPS at 2560x1440 resolution run about $350-$400+ and you can get them from normal resellers like…
Oh and also I just remembered, these two training DVDs by the Blender Foundation is a great way for absolute beginners to start out with Blender. http://www.blender3d.org/e-shop/product_info_n.php?products_id=134 http://www.blender3d.org/e-shop/product_info_n.php?products_id=133 Believe it or not but they are actually…
Cool idea! Everyone has their own workflow, but I would recommend starting with stepped keys. That way things don't look so floaty early on and you can focus on strong poses without being distracted. The arm gesture that happens at f73 also happens two other times in the scene, perhaps try a different gesture to accentuate…
