Re: Advice for student hard surface artist.
Best piece of advice I'll offer, is too get into the habit of learning hardsurface techniques and workflows correctly. You're pretty much spoilt for choice if perhaps the less expensive alternative self taught pathway might be another option to consider, because nowadays there's a ton of online stuff available but the… -
Re: Dand's scrapbook
Hey, thanks for the reply and thanks for the tips earlier tonight. Well for this guy it started as a anatomy study, felt like I need to improve and I started with the bust. After that I expanded on it with the suit, been slowly chipping on the details trying to make him more lifelike. Shitty collage with the mercury… -
Re: Can you bake with averaged normals when not using one smoothing group?
don't worry about what one random guy did and why he turned off averaged normals in the bake setting. If you have hard edges on the mesh, you'll get completely borked normal seams if you don't use averaged normals projection (or a custom cage) is all you need to know. As for why people use hard edges, yes it's because how… -
Re: new to zbrush help needed please...
First problem is stop following a speed sculpt, they're not super helpful for learning by following along. Start out by going through some actual beginner tutorials on Zbrush so you can learn the software. People doing speedsculpts are them just working away, they are not showing you keybinds, functionality, or anything of… -
Re: handplane - new tangent space tool in public beta
Great idea Alec! Although, I don't imagine that putting the turbosmooth over your mesh set to smoothing groups will work with all low poly meshes, especially in the case of splitting smoothing groups along your UV seams, for example with certain hectic hardsurface-type meshes. In that case, would you just add a edit poly… -
Re: What are your thoughts on ZModeler? And the eternal question of retopology...
Also the result of any mesh subdivided 5 times :P ZRemesher isn't really aimed at retoplogizing hard surface models, at least not in a way that is specifically geared for games (the same could technically be said about characters, but organic shapes tend to be more forgivable). It's more a less a way to take a hardsurface… -
Re: Autodesk Maya 2016
Painting directly in Maya is way better solution! In v2016 Mudbox sculpting tools are brought in and that is great start. Now it would be the best to continue importing and other Mudbox tools like sculpting layers and complete texture painting tools. Important to add is to be able to paint in 3D view and UV view which… -
Re: Low poly Barrel with Normal Map (First Try)
Bump maps aren't USUALLY used for individual models. You get more flexibility and range out of normal maps than bumps. I would reserve bump maps for high noise details like skin pores, or flecks of stuff, etc. Yes, but it's slower than using something like Substance Painter, which does a better job of applying it in terms… -

[need some feedback] [Blender] Birth of an Electromancer
As a Max user I am slowly trying to learn Blender, and thought I would be a little creative while doing so Blender. Here is my "Birth of an Electromancer" low sampled renders from Blender. I like the atmosphere of how it looks, however I can't decide on what lighting I should use as I have very little experience with…
