Hello again, Polycount! You may remember me as the person that was making the green drinking fountain a couple of weeks ago. I've started a new project and would like some of your input on it! Here's the reference for the sai. (Note: I've changed the top part and the "emblem" on the handle on purpose.. so naturally the…
In the near future, I want to sculpt the large and small intestines. I'm not sure how to approach it. Could I make a brush that does it? For the large intestine, I could see that working, although I don't know how to make a brush like that. For the small intestines, it really looks like a hot mess in there. How would you…
Hmm, ill definitely try that later tonight once i get home. ill let you know if that works. the thing is i tried using this muffin shape on a pre-existing graph i had made and thats when the problem first came about. For some reason this tile keeps making that strange gradient but when i delete all the normals and…
Every so often when I make a stroke with my tablet, it randomly makes a swipe all the way to the left. I can't seem to replicate it at all, but it just kind of happens from time to time. It seems to happen a lot in Photoshop; I don't think I've seen it happen in any other program. If anyone knows how to fix this, I would…
Hi,I'm trying to make sense of the workflow from low poly to high poly.Basically here is one of my model: My goal is to bring this into zbrush and just trim some edges to make it looks old.My initial thought would be to UV in maya --> bring fbx into zbrush to work on it --> bake the high poly from zbrush onto the low poly…

The substance is made of several patterns, each one in a separate graph with exposed parameters, combined in a "master graph" in which I'm using a Tile Sampler Color to put them together using the Mask Random data. I'd…
I'm creating a setup in Substance Designer that I want to use in Substance Painter. Basically a painted metal preset that will give me the options to expose edges, scratches etc based on the Ambient Occlusion and Curvature Maps: I made a real basic test in Substance Designer, but I can't get the options to show up in…
My question is essentially, what's the difference in modeling (or the benefits?) of making a copy of a mesh when it is in vertex mode as opposed to object mode? So what's different if I select the vertices and make a copy as opposed to just selecting in object mode and make a copy and join? other than the extra steps I…

Why can't you make good metal without a spec map? You can, but like every single one of those examples, you need to paint in the highlights and lighting. If you need dynamic highlights and specularity, to make it look like metal and not a painting of metal, you need a spec map. You simply cannot make proper metal without…
