Re: WW2 Mine
Basically what is happening is if the handle itself is a 16 sided spline (16 is an example), it goes 5 directions so 80 polygons, adding a second edge loop to the corner makes the handle 160 polygons, and adding the third loop makes it 240. So the curve isn't a perfect L. But that's also only 1 curve, there are 3 more… -

Re: Zbrush Texture > CropandFill Issue
Yeah, Zbrush has a lot of this bugs. Specially regarding to 2.5D tools and operations. I know this very well, because I used Zbrush a lot as a 2.5D illustration tool until version 3.1. From 3.5 and above, they messed up 2.5 brushes, and a lot of things that worked properly no longer works. Even on sculpting, Zbrush has a… -
Re: An idea that would make life easier... Images
Sounds like you're describing a color ID Map that is usually used by texture generators like dDo or Substance Designer. In dDo specifically, ween you mask off your texture to match a predefined color, it'll use that as a base for its generator, so like FF0000 is interpreted as 24k Gold for example. I've even made simple… -
Re: System Shock 2
There are excellent fan made texture/model updates which make the experience of SS2 a little more appealing for today's audience. "We are we are one, we are the Many..... Join usssssssss......" Bioshock was great - but too different for me to see it in the same way as SS1 + SS2. I was involved with a mod group years ago… -
Re: anyone running GTX 670`s?
I'm running a gigabyte 670, its worked great in maya 2013, mud 2013, zbrush 4r3 and topogun latest. I haven't done much in maya except for rendering though, so i cant say i've given it a thorough test there. a 3m poly head runs at about 20fps in default viewport shaded, and runs 60-130fps in viewport 2.0 default. Turning… -
Re: Count Orklok Bust
Hi, well, I had no such plans to be honest. You mean for marmoset, right? I could give it a spin later down the road. Why not? I had thought of uploading it to Verold.com. The sculpt is 24M (I keep forgetting if ZB counts in quads or in tris) so I could get away with 12000 or something? If you have any suggestions let me… -
Re: MONSTER SUMMER SALE - Indie Products Included
Indie is based off 801 (modo) and I think Mari 2.5 its about half a year old. Doubt they will upgrade it to the latest versions until after a few service packs hit the non indie version of Modo. Update will also probably have a cost associated with it, but it cant be by much. Only time will tell though. You can try… -
