Re: Junk Air Tugboat - WIP
Cheers guys! I started cracking down on the rear parts of the hull today and have the shapes rough in. I'll refine it and post soon. @Der Hollander I've really been digging your Dirk model mate. Can't wait to see it finished, as I have more than a few fond memories of that game. :) -
Re: Micro Uzi - Needs Texture Critiques
that grip is looking much better, good work. I'm afraid I don't know enough about weapons so I could be wrong but as Der Hollander mentioned, I'd look at correcting those big indents on the body, they really do appear to only be there for visual interest. And just be concious of where you put the wear and tear. -
Re: I need some serious help with my lighting :/
A really good book for mental ray is "Rendering with Mental Ray & 3ds max" by Joep van der Steen. I just happened to be reading it now. He discusses in-depth all the lighting features of mental ray including outdoor lighting and such. You might find it very useful if you are going to go the mental ray route. -
Re: My first finished work in 3d. Critique is welcome.
I totally agree with you on the floor and that it makes the handle material less readable and just makes it one big mess. I see it now, so thank you. As to post effects - actually smears are integrated as a part of material in Keyshot and the only thing I added via photoshop were some dust particles in the air and some… -
Re: So, we have real Spaceships...
Its not so much travel as it is moderate/small payload to low orbit for Cheap, compared to other booster vehicles. Plus with the non destructive gliding entry the delivery vehicle longevity and lower maintenance requirements should allow for more things to be put into space, not just people. The fact that people can pay to… -
Re: Course Character: Hatsune Miku - The World is Mine Version.
Looking great! It's awesome of you to post up all the process like this, I'm learning a lot. I had a few questions though. I've never heard of using a half sphere or anything like that to affect baking AO maps - would you mind going into the logic behind this, why/how it works? I really struggle getting all my UV chunks… -
Re: prevent uv distortion
YOu'll never get rid of it 100% unless you break every face into its own island and relax it and at that point everyone points and laughs at your insane vert count and impossible to create materials. The best you can do is use as few seams as possible, hide them in logical spots and try to work around the stretching as… -
Re: Does skill in penciling really equates to your scale in sculpting?
It can absolutely help, sure, but it's non-essential, no matter how you slice it. Many amazing 3D artists aren't drawers, and never have been, and some I'm sure have zero interest in drawing as a medium. (I myself am an ok artist who doesn't care at all for drawing) I think, if you can see the world around you in a… -
Re: Objectifying women...
Wow, it's crazy how many men in this thread are terrible at understanding 'objectification'. Imagine if every guy was judged by their income, and nothing else. Then imagine every media source telling you that if you don't drive a Maserati, you are less of a man, and won't attract women. Imagine there is absolutely NO way… -
Re: Sketchbook: Panda's Pad
@kevlar jens: Your sculpting also puts me to shame. Thanks tho! @Ravenslayer: Thanks! @Joseph Silverman: I generally think little and just squint / filter as much as possible. My goal is to use straight lines and curved lines one after the other in the simplest fashion until I see the shape of a human body. Of course it…
