Are you ready to BRAWL?
For those of you who have been hiding under a rock, a few days ago Polycount officially withdrew from the Dominance War contest. Despite the bad news, the Polycount community was given some good news that we'll be hosting our very own contest. Since the announcement was made, we've worked hard to get this this contest off… -
I always combine meshes in Maya first when I want a shared texture set. Am I doing this right?
Hi, I hope the title is not too confusing! What I meant was: - I model the base meshes in Maya and for sculpting/texturing I place them next to each other and combine them to one asset. I'm also doing the UV mapping there so the combined mesh has no overlapping going on. - from there I export it to ZBrush and then to… -
Getting normals out of ZBrush
I've just created a tiling texture on the canvas and am trying to get a good normal map. I just used the simple brush and drug the normal material over everything but I can't seem to get a good map that isn't aliased to hell. Even with render/ best it's still pretty gnarly. Is there a setting I'm overlooking? -
Re: [Portfolio Review] Character Artist trying to get to the next level
Hey Nick, Firstly, the link you posted to your personal site seems to be either incorrect or broken, so I can't critic much on that front. The second link works fine and based on what I saw, just 2 samples, I would suggest doing some anatomical exercises. The anatomy you have is loose at best. I'm not big on fictions… -
Re: Brawl² Challenge / Competition, Vote and discussion?

(but even without the domwar numbers, could still be fun!) I would agree that having some set limits would be a good idea, whatever they… -

Re: Maya - Working with the pivot point
Thanks for the speedy replies guys, I can always count on Polycount. To bad I can't pay you guys all the tuition I owe my school. I think I understand what I'm going to have to do, but I believe there has to be a simpler way... SummarySo to summarize this long winded explanation (sorry guys, felt I didn't explain well… -
LINEAR WORKFLOW for the Cinema 4d + Photoshop Artist (Definitive Help Guide 2019)
Hello guys, so I really considered what would be the best possible topic that could be of interest to the community as a whole and in the same time give me the needed help because my CG career hasn't even started and I am hitting a brick wall. That wall is the implementation of: Linear Workflow and the many hurdles of… -
Re: Yet another newcomer arrived, Hooray!
Tanks ;) I just think that going back to that one and tweaking it is less of a practice than just finishing my new dragon project here, but yes, I see your point. More practice is more practice, does'n matter wether it's a new project or a old one, huh? Now that looks realy like a eyecatcher (would fit better into Fallout… -
