I dunno nekked, no matter how cool this all sounds I can't get myself to believe in a complete rework of the way game engines operate. I am all for hoping for a much more generalized used of voxels for highpoly creation, but hoping that realtime (= OPTIMIZED) 3D will be like that anytime soon, I don't think that's really…
I would also suggest it will depend what you're modelling in. If it's Maya/Max/XSI etc. then you'd be using sub-d I guess, and either creasing or placing bevels/edgeloops in those areas where she has the sharp lines like the nose, clavicle and shoulders. If you're working in ZBrush then it's a totally different process and…
It would help to state the purpose for your survey, at the start of the survey. I get it's to help you write your thesis, but is your thesis going to be creating a new tool? It would also help to state where you'll be sharing the tool when completed, and maybe a link to a social site where you'll be sharing your progress…
Hey again, So this has been bothering me a bit as I just can't seem to get it to work, should be a simple problem really though, I've done it before in MAX. I'm using Maya 2012 atm and I want to bake out a lowpoly AO, BUT I want to include normal map information into the AO bake. Basically because I often have a lot of…
Hey guys, I wanted to share the project I'm currently working on. Always wanted to do Fizz and finally have some time. I wanted keep the overall look of Fizz but go higher in detail and realism. Eventually I do his trident and his shark, whenever this one is finished of course, and take them to Marmoset. Gonna give the…
All right, what are you trying to do here? Are you remaking a skyrim dungeon? are you trying to improve on a skyrim dungeon? Are you making your own? Even still, these assets need to go in an engine, or in the creation kit that comes with pc skyrim for modding, (I think your planning on do this). It is hugely important.…
Thank you so much for precious explanation Pxgeek. I will definitely try this. Since I didn't have much time, it was solved in another way. it wasn't very good. I'm not happy because some of the sharp corners in the model were cut off, bone and tooth details and other things... I couldn't work much on the texture either.…
Hey, did a crappy paintover. It's not brilliant but should give you a rough guide of where you need to flesh out. I kept the Jin eyebrows haha The way youve sculpted the eyes is a bit odd, it seems like you have sculpted in an indent of the eyelashes. I tend to make an eyelash plane/placeholder piece of geometry, it gives…
Agreed, soften some of those, set up a camera at the ideal viewing distance/angle and make sure your angles aren't too sharp in it, I think you're going to lose a lot of good edges because you're making them too sharp. For a symetrical bake, I do this: Model the gun. Delete the 'second half' (the 2nd-Nth parts that will be…
I'mma stop you there. Not everyone is a super pro. I actually do almost this exact work (VBS2 dev) and if where he works is anything like my job when we made the jump to doing hard surface high poly bakes (which was actually just in the past 6 months) I didn't have anyone to show me how to properly explode a model for a…
