Re: The Jetsons's Spacecraft
may I suggest that you're using a more glossy material like in your reference? i already can spot quite a few bumpy areas and thats with a very matte material. its hard surface, let the bumps jumpscare you so you can clean em up :) -
Re: [TUTORIAL] Getting your TF2 hat into Source as a Prop_Physics
Having a problem Everything looks like it works fine but then when I try and view the model i get "error loading model". Further investigation shows the .mdl files are very small So my first troubleshoot was to try re-importing the smd into maya. Looks fine, there's an extra joint that has appeared at origin with the model… -
Re: ZBRUSH - How do I cut hair off produced by fibermesh?
Trim curve brush is essentially doing 3 ZB operations automatically in 1: creating a polygroup where you slice(same as the slice curve brush), hiding&deleting that polygroup, close holes.(to cap the mesh open border) A huge amount of calculations are involved in that split second it does its thing, so often when asked to… -
Re: Sketchbook: Celosia
An interlude to the interlude: I got Unreal Engine up and running in the new computer and found... not the latest version of the character project, but almost it. The initial imports are mostly to try and sync the colors I get in Blender with how they look in Unreal. UE is way too aggressive with the contrast and what's a… -
Re: game character rigging, 3dmax or maya
Yep. Since you already know Max that is probably the best option at this point, but that really depends on the needs of the project. Do you plan to bring on other animators or outsource animation? Most animators are typically more familiar with Maya, so you might shrink your candidate pool. If it's just you and you know… -
Re: Does anyone know any good retopology tools for importing meshes from CAD programs?
Depends what these meshes are for, and how they are used. A lot of remeshers are out there that will do the trick, 3ds max has quadremesher, which is now native in 2021+ as "Remesher". But using these would not be ideal for real-time, nor would it be optimal for many reasons. Nothing beats manual work, especially since you… -
NURBS Car Models for purchase?
Hi all, I was wondering if it would be possible for you to point me to where I'd be able to buy a nice NURBS car model that is easy to tessellate, please? Failing that a game ready car with LOD's ranging between 1M triangles down to 10K, if possible? (I'd also need a normal map for each LOD to be baked from the high LOD… -
Can I get a critique? Need some rig Help.
Hey there! I have been working off the Maya Learning center and I have run into a bit of a problem, I am trying to set up the orient Locators for the shoulder/head sway however it asks to delete the parent constraint before orient constraining the locators and creating attributes for them. The only problem is once I delete… -

Re: Jerry Can - Hard surface modeling practice and my first attempt at PBR texturing
Good start! I noticed a few things with your high and low poly though. A - The top of the handle could be more rounded right here. B - The transition from the handle to the main canister needs a bit more attention. You can try to use this weld brush in zbrush on the high poly to get a better transition…
