It would likely distort the UVs a bit, but if you have some headroom there, moving back the lower jaw origin/joint would help a lot. Right now, it seems to sit below or even in front of the eye while it should be a good bit behind it. See your references (the blue dragon at the top left might be a bit hard to read, but the…
Nice writeups @Thanez, although apologies think I'm derailing this topic a bit but yeah I've dabbled with Blender's rounded edge shader which indeed does bear looking into for future reference, if the OP should wish to do so at some point. Anyway briefly vanilla workflow is imo fairly adequate in terms of most hard surface…
When I'm stuck on getting started with a model, I think it helps to examine models that other people have made, gives me ideas for how to tackle things. An example, searching the web for "sketchfab 50's car lowpoly" https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/low-poly-1950s-car-2045e51f13024c07a6f0ed8a650c7905 Then you can use the…
I'm a low poly modeler/animator. I mainly work in the Half-Life style, mostly creating weapons and hand models, but I can do other things as well. If you're need a commission contact me.Discord: ryder_joestarModels Portfolio: Example of animations: https://youtu.be/GkK0k8RV1OA?si=DfMXVy2vfrADd1s7…
The almost funny things is (also in general): When using some "result" from some AI, which in fact is some masterpiece of software developement but that's another story .. then why does one think that "some artists" are able to fix the garbage by "some script" or do have to do some manual repairs. Isn't the problem that…
I was surprised not to find a separate section dedicated to game development, so I'm asking here. While I learned a lot about making game assets recently, there are two topics that absolute mystery to me. The first one is how to make a ground for a game. Imagine having a road, a sidewalk, a gravel/dirt whatever. E.g. here…
Hey guys, It’s been a while since my last post, but I wanted to drop a quick sign of life. I’m still working on the project, even though my time and motivation have been a bit limited lately. Not a massive amount of progress, but I’ve replaced the rough blockout with some smoother shapes and am currently experimenting with…
It's not so different from what you described your "usual workflow".. model it step by step.. you might have look at this to study the topology: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/free-193839-vairogs-v2-new-version-e3a9b187643c4bbb84c485b1dd2a53a3 ..IDK if this is already to "highpoly" for what you want/need. So for a more…
Yes, wheels dont have flatness at the moment but in the end renders will be :) Currently, I worked at headlights because previous version was not perfect. Now, look better! I also add little details , for example shark fin on roof and fuel cap:
Maybe I need a new pair of spec's or my eyesight is getting shot with age :# otherwise I'm prepared to offer some benefit of doubt, for example their previous completed projects from blockout to UV - baking more or less was two weeks so at face value does appear there's continuity there...
