Re: Making a Gears oF War Lancer, but in need of suggestions..
Try modeling the whole top section of the gun, from front sight to rear sight, as one smooth piece with no layering. Then duplicate it, cut in the shape of the first layer and extrude (along normals) and delete the unwanted faces and tweak the edge flow so it mesh smooths nicely. You can then duplicate this layer to create… -
Re: Material Help
I FINALLY figured this out. Basically trial and error. I ended up using blends like the guy in the tutorial. I just said screw it and started messing around with layers on a cube until I got it right. Basically I used a blend into a blend like I was up further in the thread, and then used the built-in mask on the blend to… -
Re: NBA Playoffs 2010
Wooohooo! Suns win in game 3! The odds are still a little stacked against the Suns, but this puts them in a better position against the Lakers. The defense they were playing was a lot more effective against the Lakers last night. The Sun's offense was actually pretty bad, but the Lakers were also choking a bit on the… -
Re: Pagoda scene
maybe multiple texture layers is the way to go? bottom layer = color layer to scroll from "day" gradient to "night" gradient. second layer = tiling clouds moving quickly (they'd have to be lit somehow)... third layer = additive decals for sun and moon? just a thought, not sure exactly what is possible with XSI. the… -
Re: I'm tired of 3d modeling and everything that goes with it.
Stop doing weapons , there are mil or more people on planet Earth , former school students who wants to make games and start with either weapons or robots. Even if you find that job it would be like Ch. Chaplin in Modern times . Nobody looks at portfolios nowadays , with generative AI it could be anything and they are… -
Re: Blending Hi-poly Normal Maps with 2D Normal Maps
If you want to blend two normal maps together: 1. Half the intensity of your blue channel on the top layer (make it go to 128 max instead of 256) 2. Set top layer to overlay 3. Merge layers 4. Renormalize Works perfectly for me. If you forget to lower the intensity of the blue layer, you'll destroy any info from your… -

Re: Substance Painter vs Photoshop or even vs Corel Painter.
I never want to create textures in photoshop again. Its awful, and it gets worse with every new version. Sure, you can't record actions, but all your exporting and layer setup is done once and saved as a preset - I don't have to think about channel packing at all. Create layer, add mask, add generator. Done. You also don't… -
Re: extruding to a fixed height in zbrush
I think what Naima is asking might be one thing I've wondered myself. I do know about morph targets but say for example I store a morph target on a flat plane with no scuplting done on it. Then I mask out areas of the plane and go over it with a layer brush. Now the awesome thing about layer brush is if I go over something… -
Re: SketchBook: Stinger88
@ PerfectChaos. Thanks! :) I work with as few layers as I can. I used to suffer badly from layeritis and I needed to create a new layer for every brush stroke. Its so good to be rid of that curse. For the First Contact image I think i had about 4 main layers for the character (Base, Detail, Shadow and Lighting) but when I…
