This is an exercise that i want to see you doing! I would recommend making the matcap's identical between both. For this exercise, i want you to get out of the mind of 3d analysis, as in don't try to intepret and remember the 3d forms, and instead get into matching the shading exactly. Think like a painter, you are just…
Hi all, I've decided to give this a try. So I've started off by just experimenting with possible ideas. Firstly I toyed with going for the Neon Tron esque look, but wasn't keen on what I was coming up with. So I then I came across this image and took some inspiration from it: Further reference: I quite like the comic style…
This plugin was created by me for easy work with colors at hand painted. Double-clicking on the color button, you can set the color of the button, and in the future to address him. Unfortunately API Substance is not expected change in the base color. You can change this by improving its ability to plug if desired. Better…
The latest FBX plugins act very strange. But you should be able to fix it with these steps. 1. Start your animation at frame 0. 2. Select all your objects and remove any keys set outside of your desired frame range. 3. Change your active time range to match your frame range as well. 4. Make sure objects you want to export…
I am currently working on an iPhone project. I havent heard about any other free model viewers, but you should definately check out unity3d: http://unity3d.com/ You probably need to be a registered iPhone dev tho, my current experience is that it is pretty hard to get stuff on the actual iPhone without it. It would cost…
Don't set the radius near zero(left)... try to keep it always a bit more to the right. If the result it's too white you can play with the constrast slider a bit. Btw, the search radius is proportional to the object's radius ( 1/50 times exactly ) so perhaps you'll need to bake the hands sepparately from the body to get…
Hey guys, i'm coming up on graduation in about 6 months and was wondering what the best way to present an animation portfolio would be. I'm focusing in animation with my secondary being environment to show i'm well rounded, so it's goingto be a 70% - 30 % portfolio, with the 70% being animation and 30 % being environment…
It would help if you could describe what era the film is from, 40s? 60s? 70s? Good Film Noir is always from the 40s, so anything like "High Sierra" or "Dark Passage" with Bogart is good. If you have AMC you may also have TCM, which is the temple for such stuff. They have a regular thing called "Darkness After Dawn", where…
Hi! This is my first attempt creating a weapon skin, I had planned on doing so in some free time, but never quite got around to it, but when I heard about this comp I thought no better time than now to have a go.. I have started today, May 21st and haven't left myself much time to finish, but I believe I will do so before…
Intro: Well hello there, thank you for taking your time to take a look at my weapon design post. I would first like to say a huge thank you to Valve and Polycount for creating such an awesome competition and opportunity. And I am still quite new to the Polycount website, but I must say that the community and content on…
