Re: Jason Statham Likeness approach
Hey Tim, I have a question... why would you do a sculpt based on a sculpt of someone? Wouldn't you just gather reference of the celebrity and go from there? The toy you based it off of has some likeness to the actor, but from some angles the likeness is slim. Photos of the actor will have 100% likeness. Your sculpt has… -
Re: Modelling bandages
@Bek i guess it would be a good idea if i kept the bandages as planes for polycount sake? I have hit a wall I am a little confused with thew whole start up process of sculpting high poly detail into a low poly object from Max. These are the questions i have.. 1. Can i export from max WITH any modifiers like shell or… -
Re: Rocks EveryWhere
I would take some steps back and build a solid foundation for you to move forward with before trying to make a rock. Everything from the sculpt, to the bakes, to the textures are not working at all. Rocks are hard to sculpt, it takes a lot of practice, but most importantly it takes basic workflow knowledge of zbrush before… -
Re: Benefits of modeling in Tris
your argument is moot, because you're effectively arguing two entirely different points. you're trying to compare selecting all verts, right clicking, and hitting connect. with actually optimising the mesh. something entirely different, and is not only faster, but easier to do when the base mesh you're using is the one you… -
Re: [FINISHED] Dishonored 2 bust
Great sculpt! You mentioned that you aren't sure if you will be able to use some of the hair for your final in game piece. Have you decided on how you are going to approach that? I am having a similar issue with some assets I'm making for work. I have a cast of characters I'm making for a VR project so I am wanting to… -
Re: Firefly - Zoe's Gun - WIP (Image Heavy)
I usually sculpt only the deepest of scratches/scrapes because most scratches should not be needed in the normal map. Theoretically, you could sculpt all of them, then separate the ones you don't want in your normals, and use that info for a cavity map or something (but that's seems like a hassle to me). Most scratches I… -
Re: Zbrush, Maya or Photoshop Help
many ways of creating that effect... if you want a really nice one, here's what I would do: 1 - do your uvs for your lowpoly 2 - go to photoshop and create some quick shapes in color of what you need for those patterns in the uvs you made. 3 - go to zbrush, apply the texture you made in your lowpoly with color, and sculpt… -
Re: Exactly how bad are tri's?
Triangles aren't bad. They don't tend to subdivide well in some standard sub-d algorithms. They can cause odd topological distortions, which is why people go to great lengths to avoid them in their base meshes for high poly sculpting. If you're using sculptris or 3dCoat this is also a non-issue, as sculptris uses a… -
Re: Character design / First time texture
sadly the renders are quite dark and the character is nearly the same shade as the background so your silhouette gets lost due to no contrast and foreground-background separation as for the workflow its how you like it,... sculpting isnt necessary at all if you are able to achieve the same quality through different… -
Re: Mexican Bandit WIP - (Caution image heavy)
Is it normal to only make a sculpt just for the AO? I would've just painted the lighting in from scratch, starting with a low-poly AO base. Judging by your concept and the 2D art in your portfolio, it seems like you're currently better at modelling/sculpting than at painting. It would probably be a good idea to bring your…
