Actually, this part depends. A lot of 3D programs I have done or researched are heavily segmented. While there are classes on 3D art, there are also many other mandatory courses that don't have a focus on 3D. Examples include; an English class, life drawing, and even programming. Classes themselves also aren't very long to…
I thought the same, but read page 1-2. If you don't eliminate the gradients all together it doesn't quite work that way. aww yiss I'm wondering this too. Seems weird to apply noise to the 16bit source, then downscale. In a similar train of thought (and looking at that bc5 goodness) I wonder how mips are handled. Like if…
Development diary week 1 part 2 I then built some pillars as the your a key asset in the level and scatter them across key locations within the level. Now was time to add the essential element of the level, the throne itself and I made a few changes from the initial designs by having the throne float in the air. The engine…
A few quick things. Internet is shitty on train so I can't open all those links. 1. If possible, buy a computer from the small business section of big companies. If you buy a home computer, you're going to end up with a ton of pre-installed crap to clean up when you first get the computer. 2. Like ZacD said, you should go…
Spent a few mins blocking out some shapes for the right side. I need to decide on what type of material the armour will be made from (ie. stripes or scales etc..) After that I need to work out what area's will go with the robe or the shoulders. The chest/robe/armour slot will be submitted for this comp. @Ghostdetector .…
I apologize guys for not updating this sooner. This was what we had to turn in for our 1 month long project. A lot was done but, I really need to perfect my use of textures and find a faster work flow to follow or at least get better at it. Though we apparently did take on a colossal project that doesn't stop me or any of…
Eh, really? that's not the case on my end though..try to make a 10x10x10 box and put it at x=10 y=0 z=0, run the script, since the box dimension is 10 and the target dimension also 10, the box wont scale but it move from x=10 to x=20 to x=40 etc each time you run the script. By right it shouldn't be moved since the scale…
The wings are usually out-stretched, but sometimes angled up or down; your reference is the first I've seen with curved wings. If you look at the reference, you can see that the space between the feathers is cut-out in the reference is raised on yours. When working on projects, it's often safer to start with a single…
I first started this assignment by looking into a few different areas in which I got potentially base my low poly diorama on, this varied from different TV shows like Sons of Anarchy and the Sleepy Hollow TV series, then I looked into movies as well, these included Ghost busters 1, Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back and Spider…
Hard to say exactly by your image. I think I see a couple ngons on your model but I can't be sure. Or is that a NURMS preview? Other than that your mesh density is pretty uniform. I think the easiest path to getting what you have into ZBrush would be to actually turbosmooth your model and use the Reconstruct Subdiv to get…
