Re: [ZBRUSHCORE] Merge two objects
Ahhh so that first image is not your real model. This second image is not also? Because it's depends of model how will you solve it. Because left image is what you get when you make let say IMM than model it and merge it. But you wont have that if you mask it and then tear it of the model in new subtool. Try to mask that… -
Re: Milky normal maps - xnormal
I tried doing such, the thing is there are only very few parts that are stacked. It didn't seem to solve anything. :( I'm wondering if its some random export issue? I'm baffled as to why it worked decently well for GeeDave. I spent today trying to figure it out, so I exported and did a test bake on a past model and… -
Re: should i learn to code? or just keep "arting"?
In terms of bootcamps, if you want to be a software engineer as a career you should get a degree from a school with a good reputation instead. Software engineers are in high enough demand to be able to pay off the loans in most cases. If you don't or aren't sure quite yet, just figure out what problem you want to solve,… -
Re: [3DSMax] Pole Vector equivalent in Max?
There isn't an easy way to make this joint work straight down. It's an inherent issue with the design. Moreover, the extra knee joint is not an issue, it was the easiest thing to solve in the whole chain by just limiting angles. I solved that in seconds. the balljoint is where my issues lie. having outside the IK defeats… -
Re: HOLY PIRATE!
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] It's not an insolvable problem... it's just that we haven't got round to solving it yet. To say it's insolvable now is just giving up without any effort to explore the possibilities. Theoretical physicists are working on solving this problem right now. No argument in science is, in principle,… -
Re: I'll know it when I see it
I solve this by making it obvious upfront in the contract, that changes beyond the original spec cost X amount per hour. There's a great section on this issue, along with sample contracts that help solve it, in the GAG book. Every freelance artist should have this book. The contract can be as simple as you like, no need… -
Re: What's new in cloth simulation? anything new and cool recently worth trying ?
no actual animation in engine, looked like simulated but was generated. i do think there is even a chaos cloth machine learning plugin for unreal. but might be wrong. but what you are doing doesnt sound like something a tool like this would solve, unless you train one yourself with some dataset you made yourself i guess -
Re: I'm thinking 3rd party ought to be treated better, an article worth reading in troubling times.
And because I know that nobody will actually read articles like that, let me break it down barney style: Business problems stem from people problems. So if you want to solve a problem, you have to understand the variables involved. Which is people. So it's useless to be discussing numbers and proposing solutions if we… -
Re: How to make a hard surface low poly for baking, easily?
I see, but why did it worked when I removed the sharp edges, but left the top of the button as a separate island? I guess it's because my auto smooth is at 60°? Also I've seen videos of hard surface modelling in which they don't separate the uv of cubes shape, so I'm still not sure why I'd need to make hundreds of island… -
Re: Who are your art influences and why?
For me, I really can't get into the stuff that's done today. I feel like the older stuff was much more spot on. Frazetta was mentioned and is an obvious one. I like the guys from that generation and before. Hal Foster being another one. Hal Foster Jeff Jones NC Wyeth Howard Pyle Leyendecker Berni Wrightson (a bit more…
