Yep, I made the original image in Photoshop using the pen tool. AI is obviously vector focused, but it was a lot more straightforward to keep it all in PS. When you say a simple Stroke layer, do you mean an additional layer or just a Layer Effect? So let's break this down: Back-most Layer: Dark Green, effectively the…
1 - Create a new document in the size you want. 2 - 3D > New Tiled Painting from Layer. 3 - Pick your brush tool and there you go! 4 - To create a new layer go to your Layers and double click the layer under the Diffuse, it will probably be called Background. This will open the texture as a new document. Make a new layer…
Hi Teddy, In my case, the two "blocks" were converted from the "rectangular marquee tool". I tried other method to help you, but unfortunately.... -Layer made with "create new sculpt layer" button > Error -Layer made with "create new muti-sculpt layer" button > Error -Layer made from "text tool" > Error -layer made from…
Sounds like he's not subtracting subtools, but that he's using document layers. If you have the rougher looking subtool/2.5d image already framed in the document, go to the Layer palette and create a new layer. Then click on the new layer (layer2). You can now draw a new tool onto the document, and edit that layer like…
The proportions in the concept are fairly consistent when it comes to aligning decorative and structural elements. On the upper staircase the stringers and mill work land almost directly on top of where posts would go on either side of the opening in the wall assembly underneath the second floor. The panel work covering…
I think I've mentioned this before, but I'd like to repeat how much I love the layer system in Blender (usually), because you can change them with the number keys, and Shift+number keys for showing multiple ones. I generally put the different parts of the highpoly on the first five layers, lowpoly parts and versions in 6-9…
You've already done some work in this regard: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/r03ZE What is significantly different from the images in your artstation compared to the characters you shared? I'm not convinced that they used photosourced textures ( I've seen a lot of Darksiders art over the years tho its been a while) but…
I'm trying to get my head around this stuff as I type, pretty much, so I hope this doesn't come out as a sprawling mess! Im at a similar stage to you but I have managed to get a little further. The main problem for me is that the Crysis Wars editor is different from the main Crysis one. I only found a small mention of this…
I meant it is good that you try out things with your presentation. Not many people do that and thumbs up for that. I was talking about Fonts. The text you use in your presentation. A typeart is called font. And there are multiple kinds of fonts, but the most important difference is with serif and sans serif fonts.…
I'm the one that said some of the newer hats are only using AO. And that's because of the painting system... Really that's your choice if you'd want it to be paint able or not (I think it's a cool option and a good hat for it) With only AO and a proper alpha channel your hat could be any color in game, if you don't want…
