I wasn't necessarily referring to the hammering (though pinching is a very good keyword) but that's probably my bad for not expressing it better. Basically, the lamp isn't one big chunk of metal, and while nicks and notches (like the one in your sword) and blunted bits might be found as well, it's much more likely to dent…
Latest version: (disclaimer, the "visibility" icon is ripped right from Silo, I'm too lazy to do my own yet!) <u>Overview</u> - My main changes here are shuffling around all the existing tools and settings into a more standard Windows interface. - All of the "most-used" features are in collapsible headings on the…
Hi! Yes, it's the "Mark Sharp" command. With objects that have angles of various degree, I like to set the autosmooth to 180 degrees (all smooth) and then manually mark edges sharp where it's necessary. Due to the Auto Smooth angle in the "Object Data Properties" panel being greyed out in your image, I think the mesh might…
@killnpc Hey! You are right, you made me realize that I made a terrible explanation of my problem. I'am using a Blender plugin called GrabDoc, that allows me to easily bake high poly mesh to a plane. Then, I'll take the low poly mesh and map its UVs on this trim sheet. This is my trim sheet so far: So, my issue is when I…

There is actually a fairly accurate and artist friendly way to match a specified texel density, so I thought I would take the time to explain the method as well as…
@Neox Thank you very much for your reply. I don’t have any knowledge of 3D modeling, and since I’m the one who commissioned the work, I have the modeling files. What I’m wondering is simply whether there are any issues with the current sculpt when it comes to creating a cartoon-rendering style model like the images above.…
Hi dzibarik! Firstly, I just want to put out there that I am no professional in the gaming industry, nor have I done a degree in Game Art, 3D Modelling or anything related to Game Art. I left my BA Architecture Degree because it was full of people I didn't want to be and the Industry seamed bleak to me (in my personal…
Hey guys, first ever post here :) Im currently working on my first "real" high-poly model, aka I want a mesh whose detail level could be controled with a subsurf. The idea came after seeing the wonderful realization of Stephanie Nieves "Biomodem" after some concept of Stålenhag…
