7. Highpoly Sculpting - Concept vs Creation Sometimes what works in a 2D concept wont work as well in a 3D model. This is a common issue when sculpting from a 2D reference, but it should only be a minor hindrance. For example, when I was constructing my leg armour I realised that the layering didnt make sense in 3D…
Im sorry but I have some conflicting opinions with Pyrzerns post. I may be wrong though so feel free to correct me. This has been talked a lot on polycount but in my opinion being able to draw well is essential to making a good model, in particular character models. All those people who say they don't draw well but churn…
Thank you for the feedback axxic3. Been a while since I updated my sketch book since I Was super super busy at school... Than again.. that's not an excuse. I'll try to keep it updated from now on... Or at least do better at updating it. :) I want to post some progress of a character I'm working on for a specialization…
Hi there, everyone! It's been awhile since I've posted, but I'm back! This here is an introduction to my custom smash bros. characters as well as some other projects I've been working on lately and trying to get published. Yet again this was a collab project between a friend of mine and myself. This project really reminded…
Sure. Couple of things though. 1. Those models are pretty good overall. Not trying to say they're shit. 2. Because of that, this stuff could be seen as nitpicky. But, I don't believe in that. I believe in taking things as far as possible. 3. These things that may seem subtle will give you hints as to all sorts of really…
Thanks MoP, but... I still don't get it. (Feel free to facepalm). So you need to UV the base mesh, paint the sculpt, and then it transfers to the in game retopo'd model? Wait.. what? Lol I'm still confused.
Thanks for the reply. That's very true about the unwrap, I could easily overlap the sides to save some space. The handle is unwrapped as well and included on this sheet, it's just hidden at the moment. It will be receiving some sculpting love separately.
Hi everyone, I just want to post here that I chose the beer table. I did a 3D sculpt on it. My challenge is to bring it into Unreal with 0,1 LOD's. Maybe 2... I don't know yet. All done with free software and PBR even if it's a painterly style concept. I will keep on keeping on until I finish even though this challenge is…
Thanks All! Ged - Yeah, I think a misconception is that it replaces sculpting altogether...which generally isn't true. I use it effectively like scan data - it speeds things up, but still isn't perfect.
@Bedrock I'm definitely planning to continue working on this scene in my free time after the deadline and put that extra love in it :) Maybe even give myself a Zbrush refresh course and sculpt the almighty father Grigori.
