Keep in mind that the concept's ears look very mobile; her right ear is 180 degrees off the left one - facing back rather than forwards. I suspect that the neutral position for the ears is to the side, and they can rotate 90 degrees to the left or right. Even this guy had to rotate his ears to face forward: Her chin seems…
Thanks for the idea Talon. Fbx files do seem to work for the low poly with a cage exported from Maya loaded into Xnormal, with one smoothing group on the low poly mesh. If I follow your steps within Unity for the model (setting Tangents to Calculate and the Smoothing Angle to 180), it seems to work overall. Myself and a…
If you are just starting out and on a budget, get a cheap Wacom or look at Monoprice, the Wacom Bamboo Splash Pen Tablet is $65 on Amazon. The create is larger but $165. The professional series is the Intuos and they are around $250 for the medium sized one. Monoprice has some decent tablets, I haven't used one but they…
Thanks chrisradsby - a suprising amount of people have mentioned that - but worry not they are there to use as a guide for the sculpt and uniform - Im just working on the boots now and his hands will be gauntleted and a little something extra too ;) Think of this as a concept in progress - I have some solid ideas but other…
thanks for clarifying Tuna. Euler filter always worked a little like "Magic" to me, it just fixed things when I have rotations keyed in such a way where there's rotation axis crossing another... when crossing the 180 degrees thresh hold. As far as graph editor use, everyone will give you a different answer. :D I find it…
Mate, in this day and age if you can't find answers with an infinite sea of information at your fingertips then 3D may not be for you. Zbrush has a pretty extensive documentation. This is how I learned 90% of the program. Sadly, when I first started using it in V1.5 there was just the documentation.......you have…
In Maya any hard edge must also be a seam in UV space... All other edges must be soft. And not all seams need to be hard, only those that are 90 or more (just like the post said above). Also, when your baking, use the envelope and set it to something like .5-1.5 It doesn't look like your getting any projection burning in…
The trees are made using Speed Tree. this project took me closer to 1.5 months.. alot of that time was spent trying to learn UDK.. I've started adressing some of the lighting issues i had with me scene. I desaturated it, put a height fog, and am currently retexturing some of my wood to add more contrast / life to the…
Happy to help! You don´t really need to multiply the spec, but if you want to increase it slightly you can multiply it with a much smaller number like maybe 1.5 or so. you could also add a Power before the multiply to get more contrast. I prefer to make the changes in photshop, unless i´m creating a spec from a diffuse…
So it is the work for minimum 1.5 years right? Till I get a decent amount of the money, to say the truth I can really give all myself to some job, I've started to be confused in many things, because I've worked in different areas and one thing that really bothers me in my country that it's poor, and If I like the work It…
