Re: [WIP] District 9 inspired weapon
The messed up edges in the picture you linked are when you have two different smoothing groups that aren't on seperate UV islands. The one way I know to fix that if you want to use those smoothing groups is to just break them apart on the UV. Most people seem to prefer using as few smoothing groups as possible however… -
Re: Art School
That's great to hear, anatomy is something you should never stop learning and if characters are your thing, then a solid knowledge of anatomy will really show in the quality of your work. Don't worry about how quick you're doing things, or how fast you're learning. Especially at your age, you've got plenty of time! What… -
Re: Doom4 plasma rifle
@kysg In what way does it not help? I've explained why you are getting a bad bake, what topology is bad topology and how you should fix the issue. Tldr version, Don't use 3d coat to retopo a hard surface model and remove edges from your high poly by hand if you don't have a low poly to work from. Only leave whats… -
Re: [Art Dump] - Alberto Rdgrz - Warning: Image heavy.
It's impossible to stylize something without knowing what it looks like in reality. Reference reference reference. Every style of art is based reality. It's not so much about a specific reference, and following it exactly, I certainly don't mean that. And yeah, like I said before, it's not that that type of wear can't… -
Re: Archviz swimmingpool in UDK
Few things to consider about this approach: You don't need 8 samples off the bat: 4 will do for a smaller blur. The "shift" you perform on each sample's UV coordinates determines the amount of blur,from a certain value onwards you'll start noticing a "ghosting" effect: this is when you need more samples Lerping is not the… -
Re: XNormal Normal map issues!
First off, you'll need to break up your mesh smoothing wherever you have a UV seam or hard edge. That's where those nasty gradients are coming from on both your low poly model and normal map bake. Generally wherever there is a 45 degree angle you'll want a hard edge and split UVs, use your discretion; if you're seeing… -
Re: Another war?
We have amazing ideas that can slow down the use of oil and natural gas by at least 80-90%, if not completely worldwide... but since oil rules the world, the people who rule oil thus rule the world. If people don't think US is attacking Libya I found/read into what the army is really doing... Obama, on his visit to Chile… -
Re: The value of money and games
I play very few different games so for me price is pretty irrelevant (although i do make a point of trying to avoid £40-45 games and buying them when they go on sale a couple of weeks after release),but if i want it i'll buy it. As an example of how few games i've bought 'recently': LoL - free but bought a small amount of… -
Re: RuneScape Art Test
All good, thanks for the tips. Ill check the shadow, and regarding portfolio and working on games, I do hope to work on one simply to say I have lol. So far my only experience has been in QA a few years back, so after a long break and back into art i'm probably just getting a little impatient. AsaNYC Christo Oosthuizen… -
Re: Cyberpunk inspired Oni
Thanks! Most of the weapon was just me messing around in ZBrush honestly. I didn't make a concept for it but wanted it to be reminiscent of the club you see in Oni folklore (usually giant club with spikes or metal balls protruding). For the club , I created a cube with supporting edge loops, rotated it 45 degrees, and then…
