Re: [Chivalry] Mason Knight - The Face of Revolution, Maul of Sanguine Retribution
Reply by zetheros · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Arms & Armor, Chivalry: Medieval WorkshopThis was my first time making any sort of wood texture in zbrush. It was really fun :D Anyway, with a throwing axe, the handle is important, but not especially. Throwing axe handles would become unusable much faster than, say, a hammer's handle, since it goes under much more stress (being thrown and hitting people in… -
Re: Male Head Sculpt - all out crits
Use lots and lots of reference. Have a look at the ideal proportions https://www.anatomy4sculptors.com/anatomy/xlarge-Head-neck-Proportions-106.jpg (https://www.anatomy4sculptors.com is a helpful site) The face front on doesn't look too bad although, the neck seems slightly thin and the side is quite squished. Cannot… -
Re: Sapped,drained,tired and out of energy.
Well mr. Jo. It's not just you. Me too. I for one is starting to feel very drained from the whole job-hunt-thing. I constantly worry about having no cash, what my options are, moving to other countries, leaving my girl behind, etc etc. It easily kicks your creativities ass... but it also pushes you to feel that you need to… -
Re: Where did all the cheats go?
I have nothing to add to this, you've put my exact thoughts in to words. I don't have any time for any SNES level difficulty, and I was never that good at the time anyway. Stress is for workplace, not relaxing time. So I always thought cheats were good, I'd rent a game and if i was (inevitably) rubbish at it, I'd consult… -
Re: Can I haz new Rig?
Here's an idea if you don't have megabucks to spend - isolate the problem, fix with software or new hardware (if needed) then sell your old system as a whole and buy totally new everything. memtest < this stress tests processors and memory ps: if the computer is randomly shutting down it sounds like you may have a virus!… -
Re: Question for the studio guys & girls
What Kwramm said nails it on the head for me as well. I'm not a tech artist by trade, but I am a lead/manager and when I get stressed or curious about problems and tech issues I will research the shit out of that in my spare time. In addition as many of you know, I lead the Black Mesa mod. This has often been a huge amount… -
Re: Another way to get paid for your art
All true, which I've done before, but since I was interested in hosting a BRAWL type contest with a $1000+ prize (I've yet to decide the exact amount) I thought I'd get my feet wet with a smaller contest and see how that works out. From the response, it doesn't look good. I'm a laid back no stress kind of guy, and if this… -
Re: fire axe WIP (newbie warning)
keep in mind some surfaces wont look how there supose to with out an appropriate specular on it. i find rubber and plastics fall into that category most the time. the wood looks fine. it also looks brand new, which as a portfolio piece ='s boring. a prop is just a prop with out a story to it. think up some type of life… -
Re: Really need help with this. UVs and Zbrush.
If you want to bake the normal map for the low res I wouldn't worry too much about having the ZBrush version mapped. Just lay out the UVs for the low polygon, and then bake the map in xNormal. If you want to paint the axe in ZBrush, providing you have enough polygon density, you can paint directly on the polygons and use… -
Re: Holiday Travel Fun/Rant
Most of my holiday stress involves air travel. Over Thanksgiving, I had multiple flight delays which left me stuck in Atlanta airport over night. That cut my week short that went right into flying to the west coast for a job interview. Now I'm flying back east for Christmas this week. On top of all this is the price of…
