Re: 3D modelling tools comparison
There is one more aspect that imo should be considered: simplicity , intuitiveness and general convenience. Those old good same programs like Maya and Max are a mess of kind of code archeological layers, outdated approaches, old solutions. To master them you have to dig through all that mess, litter your brain with lots… -
Re: Learning to sculpt skulls
Judging by the chips it looks like you are being hindered by a material that is probably way too stiff for your needs. This looks like Monster Clay, or maybe Chavant NSP right ? These are indeed a fantastic mediums, but better suited for thinner/smaller stuff. I'd suggest to either work much smaller, or, getting your hands… -
Re: [PBR] M4A1
The separation on the materials itself came out great, like the dirt on the metal and the scratches, but the separation between the different materials the weapon uses is too uniform. The plastic is too close to metal, the magazine is kinda strange and the receiver/metal parts all in all look very soft and rubber-ish. The… -
Re: Normal artifacts mystery. Please help me solve it :/
OH! Thank you so much for your answers! I really appreciate the drawings - very pedagogic of you:) I work in Maya, so we don't have "Smoothing Groups" per se, but I get what you mean. In Maya, there are only "hard" or "soft" edges. At first, I was planning to have those edges hard, but then I read that you should have all… -
Re: Custom M4 Rifle
The wires are looking pretty sweet, but I feel the material you are using is just unappealing. I would make it less mud brown and work on the material specularity as well. From what I can see though, I really like the UBR stock. Really awesome job there. The Mag and magwell seem off, the mag seems to be off alignment with… -
Re: The Cossack
Awesome work Seth. :) Right now the skin seems a bit flat, maybe a bit of a softer ambient light / skin ramp would help a bit along with a more blue-ish specular? Although I'm judging this off of the close up shot, it seems like you changed a bit in the next one which is cool. :) (Also perhaps a bit of AO from the… -
Re: Justin VS ZBrush - a sketchbook
Seems like you're making great progress with Zbrush so far! :poly142: I'm actually in the same boat as you are; I'm also a handpainted artist who only really started to delve into Zbrush just now. :poly136: As for mister Frankenstein, I think some of your bevels on the metal parts are looking a little bit soft,… -
Re: CE3 - Project Drift-pig
@the major - I welded the entire body back together in order to fix the problems I had with smoothing/silhoette of the car ive not cut them back in (scroll down to see!) its been very difficult to keep going back to the drawing board on some sections and the easiest way to do so was to keep the entire model welded… -
Re: UDK --> tessellation
k, here she blows. Figure A shows my UV layout. I chose to detach the top and bottom of the cylinder for this test instead of attaching one of the edges. Figure B shows the highres object on the left, and the lowres on the right. My goal was to displace the lowres object so I would have nice beveled edges and a smooth… -
Vertex color in Max
Any experts with this that can give me some ideas? I haven't really touched vertex colors until now, but I'm looking at it as a way to set up geometry-based masks for this geo-mixing system we have. It's really cool, we'll be able to blend between models/anims/materials on a per-vertex level, with artists manipulating the…
