Re: When is the perfect time to start doing my portfolio, having in mind that you have a job as well?
@kalosy Credit goes to a lot of smarter people than me for that quote :D But it's definitely on point. To learn hard surface modelling and baking you don't need to do a full mech. It sounds sexy and exciting until you realize that the difficult parts are those parts you thought were simple. Most probably your first hard… -
Re: Derivative Normal Maps - What are they?
No it's actually fairly simple. Imagine you have a quad that is essentially perfectly flat (all 4 positions in the same plane). Then imagine you have one vertex normal that points far away from the face normal in one direction and then let's say the other 3 go moderately to the other direction. And let's say the ones going… -
Re: I need to help
Well at least it's a reasonable start! Also by the way was it modeled off of a background reference image or concept art? I’ll recommend finishing translating each individual blocked piece, into a high resolution (sub divided high poly) artifact free base mesh which in my opinion believe is the actual core… -
Re: Shrinkwrapping lowpoly to highpoly with linked vertex positions, is this a thing?
Wrap does what you want in principle...the only difference from your case is that you have to set up point pairs manually yourself. I think the point pairs are stored on the surface of the mesh, not in world space. So if you had an initial wrapping setup and needed to adjust the high polys shape and position, the point… -

Substance painter settings and UE5 Substrate material settings.
What Substance workflow + export settings would you use to get the best results in UE5 using the new Substrate materials? Mainly to prevent 'white fringes' problem that was common in the UE metalness workflow around gradual transitions between metal and non-metal materials like dirt and paint? So basically a 'specular' PBR… -
Sketchbook: Tony Sladky
Evening all, Starting a new project (well, starting to document it at least). Thought it might be handy to post progress here as well as all my other usual places. Critique is welcome.So, what I'm working on right now is an Italian Deli in UDK. For now, I'm focusing all of my short attention span on generating the props,… -
Re: Game-Ready Vampiress Character — Geisha & Insect Hybrid (Finished)
I began by blocking out the entire model, focusing on accurate anatomy and correct proportions. The organic 'bug' elements and soft meshes were sculpted in ZBrush, while the remaining components were created using both Maya and ZBrush. For pore detailing, I used Texture XYZ scans with ZWrap. The rest of the model’s surface… -
Re: Question for professional 3D character artists
overwatch can be anything from a tracer, which is just one character asset and 2 guns, to a d.va that is a character, a mech, two sets of guns with pistol and mecha guns. or say ramattra which is essentially 2 pretty damn complex characters, bastion is a ton o pieces which have to work perfectly together to be… -
Texturing theory problem that is kicking my butt
Right now I'm doing several assets for a semi-futuristic office environment. Computers, keyboards, data erasers, office chairs, desk lamps, cubicle walls, that kind of thing. All the hard surface texturing I've done previously (and about 95% of the hard surface texturing tutorials I've found online) focus on depicting…
