Re: Gun model critiques
You should also look into the Weekly Hard Surface Challenge; its how I got started in Hard Surface. http://polycount.com/discussion/129938/week-8-the-weekly-hard-surface-challenge/p1 -
Re: 3D render character showcases
Your post has been here for a bit and it hasn't got any response. There are things that can assist you. The wiki has everything you need, and a whole lot more: wiki. I put some stuff below that might help. 1/ Anatomy: That is really the first thing with figures. A good practice is to start your model naked so you can… -
Topogun issues/alternatives?
Hey all, Got a chance to test out Topogun for a short time today and while I LOVED the ability to see the mesh/net clearly without it being obstructed by the reference model (which is one of my biggest gripes with retopo in polyboost... I really don't like having to do the alt-x see through dance alternating between my… -
When to make a HP version of LP...?
Hey all - Have a question about hard surface HP vs LP. In this example, I have my LP and also a HP version I created by throwing in some edge loops around the model. I find sometimes edge loops, especially with a bigger, more intricate model in general can get really messy and tends to have creasing in corners which can… -
DX11 Image Based Reflection Problems
I'm working on an interior scene to play with some DX11 features. I'm running into a problem where surfaces that are parallel to the reflection source have a strange radial specular reflection pattern. The reflection source is on the left. Surfaces perpendicular to the source look fine. Surfaces parallel to the source are… -
Zbrush Question - Curve Problem
Alright I have another question regarding the curve mode function of insert brushes. Is there a way to draw out a curve straight out of a surface? Kinda in the direction of the surface normals? Because currently it just draws it along the surface and that's hella annoying! Here's a picture showing what I mean: -
Re: How would you approach this? 3ds Max
Since you already have the sewing pattern, you could try the Cloth modifier. Trace the two shapes with splines, apply the Garment Maker modifier or Subdivide set to Delaunay, copy (edit: reference) and arrange very roughly like shown by Eric, define the connected seams and simulate in place with some internal pressure. If… -
Re: BMW Progress/Problems
Thanks for the direction everyone. I tried a bunch of things today and I feel I botched it a bunch while exploring. I attempted the fender. At first I ended up edge modeling again but noticed it was not smooth. I started over and tried using the 'U Loft' on several CV and Point Curves. Both the hood and fender are… -
Re: Building Placement on Complex Terrain
Yea I agree scripting it would be a good way to go if you know what you're doing. If the huts are instances or clones, you could use the object paint tools. Load them up in the library and click/paint them into place. If they're all individual that probably won't work that well... There was a plug-in called "Glue-it" I… -
Re: hard angles on curved objects
Hey, the pinching problem is caused by a combination of the surface angles it's trying to smooth between and the supporting edge loops. Because your faces are so flat with so little geometry across them, the smoothing is focussed on points 1,2 and 3 in the image below, and the rest of the surface stays flat as it can.,…
