I realized I went radio silent on this thread for a while, got busy with other stuff. I want to update that I finished this project a while back, and I was able to achieve most of my objectives. Eventually I created the completely modular character asset with this project, with whole inner body mesh with a set of outfit. I…
Thanks everyone for the kind words and the great questions! Let’s dive in. Working in VR is truly like walking on a razor's edge. It’s a technical hell where every decision must be calculated ten steps ahead. Performance requirements (high resolution across two displays + high frame rates) leave no room for error, and you…
had to check for the project, switched machines in the meantime and didnt run it in ages. but regarding that rimlight. this is a 1 bit mask of the custom stencil buffer set to 12 (could be any number really, dont even ask why 12, dunno anymore :D ) here is the custom stencil mask applied per object (so it doesnt apply to…
here is actually a concept which should't be to hard to script and something I am quite happy with (the idea) The base idea is around having just quads (similar to pTex), so you select one in your current model like where you want to have a detail, hole or whatever. In a script panel or interface you pick a prefab tile…
Hi. I'm baking a screw so that I can use it in my textures. There's an ugly white outline at the edges of the screw when I test the bake: I think this is caused by the really rough edges present in the baked texture: I tried baking in 4k and then scaling the image back to 1024x1024 in PS, but it didn't help. Is there a way…
@christrom It looks like you're headed in the right direction. Like Eric already mentioned, what you have would be fine for baking in most high to low game art workflows. As far as a light technical critique of the model and topology: if the goal is to create accurate, detailed high poly assets with a relatively even…
The McMillan CS5 is a weapon I have been working on and off for while in my spare time and I wanted to start posting my progress so far. Blockout stage is completed for the whole gun. Midpoly versions of parts that are completed so far. I wanted to refresh my memory on my whole workflow pipeline so I decided to take the…
Agreed with Flat Face. Definitely think about the context that you envision for this asset. Think about how much screen space it will take up and how the player will interact with it. e.g. will it take up the whole screen and will the player get to visually analyse it for as long as they want? or will it be a small prop…
Hey all, its been a while since I have used Zbrush and are wondering what I am doing wrong here. I extruded a simple primitive and polygrouped them to represent vertebrae. I then wanted to use the Dynamesh "group" split function to split all the polygroups into their own vertebrae. What im left with are ugly jaggies and…
might edit and post more been 7 days so i figured i could share more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sGetLSFatw Check out the full EP though its pretty neat and a bit different. __________________________________________________________________ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpUaL8KNORQ no info on aye eye not in support…
