Wanted to tackle a Assault Riffle in my Hard Surface Practice aswell as to have a gun in my portfolio, my overall plan was to model each part individually. Thus in the future I can kitbash some guns (watching the Red Storm Zbrush R7 video they stated it best to make it detail now so in the future it just a matter of…
Hi all, I have been lurking around here for a while and thought i'd see if anyone could help me out a bit. I've been a 2d digital artist for around 6 years or so and for the past few months i've been trying to get up to speed with some 3d applications beyond basic models to be used in some of my 2d work. Unfortunately, I…
I'm so sorry for reviving a few day old topic, but it's really interesting to see the arguments for and against rendering in Zbrush. I would like to start off by stating the fact that my 3D skillset leaves much to be Desired. I know how to get around Maya on a sub-Professional level, and I know and have worked through the…
Hello eco_bach, Depending on your Render software, mixing 2 materials are slightly different. But In all cases it uses the native capability of each render software to do the blending. The thing the Quixel tools offer is the "quixel mixer" nodes for all Renders. The idea with this node is to be able to take in displacement…
The levels of pressure sensitivity isn't a big difference. Intuos have 1024, graphire's 512. 512 is plenty, you still get perfectly smooth brush strokes. What you may notice is the difference in tablet resolution, or lines per inch (LPI). The intuos3 had a huge upgrade in the LPI. The intuos2 had 2540 LPI, but the intuos3…
To accomplish this I've set up a popup form that runs a set of scripts that: 1. Set the Coordinate Rounding to "Fixed" 2. Set the Fixed Increment to one of the following values: 0.125 = My modeling snap setting, I switch to this when not UVing. 0.03125 = 1 pixel on a 32 x 32 map 0.015625 = 1 pixel on a 64 x 64 map…
Hawken: I did a quick price comparison between 2 of the notebooks listed here as well as the macbookpro - mostly out of curiosity, and partly because I'm thinking of getting one myself (I bought my gf one and love it, and would much rather have control over my windows install and what extras I put in). Here goes: (all…
Aloha, fellow tube-surfers of the internet! Today, the team working on Venerance is sharing with you some of the work that they've been up to and we hope that you like what you're seeing so far. We really are just getting started on this and we are actively seeking to swell our ranks with folks looking to either push the…
I am truly a beginner. I'm trying to get a hold of the workflows for creating models and environments For this one I want to use decals for all the details on the model, I think the best way to do this is with a decal atlas. The original concept is by Max Margarit:…
This is not a challenge, it's a collaboration. The goal is to make a collage featuring the works of many 3D artists. This collage will then become a wallpaper for anyone to enjoy. No need to compete, just to create something you enjoy and have it showcased along with many other people. The subject: Saturday Morning…
