What's Your Modo?
I thought it would be helpful to new users in particular to share how I've customized my Modo for direct modeling and UVing Unreal Engine 4 game assets: Preferences Defaults > Animation Frames per Second = NTSC (30.0) Defaults > Application Group Selection Cmds = Uncheck Item Index Style = Item_2 Defaults > Auto Save Time… -
Re: [WIP] - stylized character, could use some help to understand what to improve for future sculpts
Well done on finishing your figure to this stage. You haven't done a lot of characters so starting out it's important to shoot for a generic figure. It's not in your best interest to begin with exotic characterization. Get good at standard generic figures first, this gives you a good base. Its much easier to correct your… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Michael Barnes, 3d Artist
I think you have some good stuff and comparing the old stuff to the new, you are improving nicely. I don't think you should stop with what you have, because you're right at the point that the next few pieces you do, will steamroll anything you've done in the past. So don't relax keep pushing! The layout is good, I… -
Re: The Ego in Games
i dont even know how to begin to respond to that. yes. i think i'm right. time and time again however, i always come back and try and be reasonable and see things from you guy's points of view. i keep saying that i'm not trying to stop anyone from doing their thing, i'm just trying to make a decision for myself about what… -
Re: --FINISHED-- Tyrande Whisperwind Fan Art
Shoulder armour and feathers! Went much quicker because I used the elements from the breast plate to create it. I gave it more shape than the her in-game model because I really wanted to keep it chunky and exaggerate the asymmetry for a bit more drama. I also made a quick and dirty paint over to get a better idea of where… -
Re: Sketchbook: rikcharr
Araymous: Not sure how I missed the emblem on the back. Good eye! gonzo_3d: The floating geo is the side mirrors, side trim (in front of the doors), badges, diffusers, headlight covers and insides, exhaust pipes, glass, trunk lid, doors and hood. The trunk, hood and doors are separate so that they could, in theory, be… -
Re: MEL: matrix creation
Matrices in Maya basically suck for that exact reason (can't be resized, must have fixed size at creation). Why not use an array of vectors instead? A vector is a good match for colours. Alternatively you can just use an array of floats 3x the size of # of verts. int $numVerts = `blah`;float $colArray[3*$numVerts];for… -
Re: How do i fix this ??? (TOPOLOGY ISSUES)
okay, it looks like you've got a circular base, connected two opposing verts and then bevelled the vert at the end making that triangle. what you could do is add another edge in that triangle and connect it to the circle edge. it may result in unwanted angles since you're adding another edge loop. with the second problem… -

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Heres the High poly so far. Ive got no idea how I could make all the little holes and details neatly [/ QUOTE ] If you're rendering for a normal map, a lot can be handled by separate floating pieces.

Re: character - girl in cocktail dress (hl2dm)
Looks pretty good. There are a few things so far that I would really try to fix... mainly the skintone is really weird, it's kinda too orange and pink at the same time. Also there's not really enough colour variation and it's too smooth. Shoulder joint on the model looks very weird, not very anatomically correct, it needs…
