Hi, Its me again and this time I present a Final piece : As you can see It's a skin shader inside UDK and it use HLSL. This was very interesting to do because I had to learn HLSL to do it. The only thing for me that I want to improve are the shadows but I don't know if it is possible to access them with material editor :s…
I think Gav hit the nail on the head. If your goal is to become a shit artist you have to make sure you understand the anatomy of poop. Buy some books on it, or better yet learn to love 3D scanning. Try scanning other animal poop or your own poop to understand the forms better etc.
hehe funny thread, i'm currently working on my own 3d scanner, have the first 1 camera scans working, need to get 2 cameras to work but had no time to do that yet so far my best scans smaller holes back then because of bad calibration, bigger holes because of the missing second cam automatic reconstruction with meshlab is…
time to start turning all those bullet time sequences into 3d models :) MeshMixer might be a nice tool to speed this process up. it has some interesting tools for patching holes in 3d scans. and adaptively smoothing noisy meshes.
no need to learn anatomy, just buy a 3d scan like this one: http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-accurate-scan-girls-head-model/599584 and auto retopo... on a serious note, this might be of help: http://www.anatomyforsculptors.com/?menu=9&sub=27#body go to the head section, and check the secrets tab. also this book is…
http://www.ics.uci.edu/~pablo/files/data/vcg_david_500k.obj an actual 3d scan of michaelangelo's David! Very cool to check out =). I want to see someone try to retopo that!
It's just a cyberscan shoot. They're pretty cheap these days. I wouldn't let the fact that they are 3D scanning an actor fool you into thinking that this show is going to be high quality.
I could see voice actors getting royalties if they are 3d scanned and do mocap work, or the character is made in their likeness. And they'd have to be a main character, but if it's just a voice, no.
Thanks for the report Robomega, that's weird! Looking into it. Anyone else getting these issues? Ingemar: yes, all 3D scans have high poly Ztools available for download :) - Teddy
