Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | May - June (78)
Hi all, First time participating! I'm loving the environments posted so far. Both are looking great. Looking forward to seeing the final results. Found a bit of time today, thought I would have a go at the hard surface prop. Just a blockout for the time being. I'm curious how people would approach texturing something like… -
Re: The Ramifications of not learning Sculpting Programs?
Speaking as someone who has just recently learned zbrush, I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner. It literally took only one day for me to go through the very basics on their homepage (including the pdf with the links) and fiddling around with some brushes on a dynamesh and then the next day to sculpt a head (sure, a… -

Re: Critique my failed art test
Straightening the UVs is important for a model like this. For more standardized models like weapons, you usually don't "bend" your UV map like that. Your UV map is oriented diagonally. That's a big no-no for large-volume modeling. Take a look at the UV maps commonly used in most MMOs. They always make sure that the UV maps… -

Re: In Need of Feedback on Medieval Weapons
Hi Frank, first of all, thank you so much for taking the time to write this in-depth feedback. I’m really grateful that you did that. The branches on the sword really don’t look like the ones on the shield, i definitely need to go back and redo a lot of stuff. i’ve already made some changes, ditched parts that I felt that… -
Re: symmetrical/asymmetrical facial keys in Max
I have few experience with lipsync, twice in max and once in maya. In Max I got my hands on a very easy to use script. I don't have it anymore, but I doubt it's hard to track down. You simply pose one side of the face and hit the mirror button and it would create a mirrored version. I've been told maya out of the box has a… -
Re: Of seams and shading artifacts/My brain is splitting at the seams
Normal maps are not something that should be considered human readable nor editable (barring a middleman like nDo), and there are other very good reasons not to hand-edit normal maps (primarily it's a bad pipeline as any rebake means a repaint, and others baking your assets in a team setting won't understand their odd… -
Re: Polygonal modeling vs sculpting?
If you are zoomed in on verts and moving them one by one you can lose a sense of the big picture and what makes something 'work' as a whole. If you are doing organic work, like faces, then there is no other option imo: sculpt precisely the form you want and don't even think about the topology until the end when you know…
