Re: Need Low-Poly Environment UV Mapping and Texturing Help
Okay, following the advice from Adam, I split the textures into their own images, added them to my scene as diffuse maps for the materials, and reassigned the faces the correct materials. Then I did as was advised and scaled up the uv shells. I centered each shell then scaled by 1000% to get this. I cannot help but think… -
Requesting assistance figuring out photomatching
So i've done a fair few models, usually with blueprints that are semi reliable, like for cars and such. but i've never really built a model from scratch using just perspective photos alone and i'm having some troubles figuring out the right pipeline. I've tried using perspective photos that are as close to orthographic… -
Re: Building a workstation for home, need input
SSD are very expensive, it does not compensate very much nowadays. To have a small part of what you see in that youtube video you need to waste too much money, and you will not have a practical PC :) . and you saw the dude? OMG that's what we call a FREAK. Use just one cheap SSD and tell how good are for those expensive… -
From low poly to 3d print
Hi there! In 2021, I started looking for a new hobby that could become a job. My choice fell on modeling miniatures from polymer clay. Since I was a child I love miniatures. I started watching videos on YouTube on this topic. Sometimes I came across videos in recommendations about sculpting figures in 3D software. So while… -
Re: Generating game geometry with simple photographs
I think you are actually better off just clicking the "wait" button- the draft pass is really quick, and the highres refinement is not too long either. It shows a progress bar, plus it doesn't eat any computer resources anyways, as this is all cloud-computed ... There are definitely a few rules to good captures. First off,… -
Re: Tournament Ticket Item Bundles - Discussion
To be honest discussion like that are neat but they will not change anything. Some people lately are making just collaborations with players/organizations and nothing will probably change it. Seriously why would they quit? A person would be mad dropping on 100% acceptance rate right? Question is why there is 100%… -
Re: Practice realistic texturing
Hi guys, totally forgot to make this little tut. But better late thnan never. I'll start explain from bottom to top.For the cavity, use the prtP with a hue saturation at 0 in saturation Normal mode 100% For the curvature, use the blue chan of the prtP, invert it SoftLight mode 100% Duplicate the group and merge it, use… -
Re: Is the extra effort really noticed
I agree with art direction being what's noticed. While it is odd to start hearing casual gamers throw terms around like 'bump mapping' and such, I still think the thing that attracts gamers the most graphically is consitent and attractive styles to the game. Some companies out there use the technology to aid in the… -
Re: /CameraChat
Well it also depends on what you want to use it for. If it's just for online photos, the 20d is more camera than you'll ever need. If you're actually doing print, you'd need to be wanting to do larger than 8x10 inch prints to need higher resolution. The nice thing with the 20d, is larger and brighter viewfinder that uses a… -
