Re: How do i make stone?
This tutorial is good, a nice quick and easy way to produce some good looking results. The follow up tutorials also help with optimizing the models for use in games if you need a lower poly version. http://saschahenrichs.blogspot.com/2010/03/3dsmax-environment-modeling-1.html I literally just made some rocks for an… -
Re: i have never finished a character model.
Sorry about the lack of capitalization in my posts. I think a major problem is I've never "paid my dues" so to speak and followed a tutorial to fully create a character that I didn't design. Perhaps it's my trying to go right into making my own models from the ground up that has been the biggest obstacle in my way. I'm… -
Re: WIP- Knight
When it comes to modeling a person, you learn pretty quickly that you need to have a good flow going on in your model. Basically the human body is a series of loops. You might say they radiate out from the center of your person, but that sounds a bit oversimplified. While your new mesh is a step in the right direction,… -
Re: WIP: Building Environment

I'll say it now, KNOW YOUR TEXTURE SPACE. I packed these UV's again and again, and it's all my fault for screwing up the first time.… -
Re: First time poster
[ QUOTE ] You won't possibly be able to lay out that ground area and still get a decent texture quality with a 1024. That is probably the hardest part of the exercise - still getting the ground to look halfway decent while fitting the entire texture onto a 1024. [/ QUOTE ] @ ott, Last friday, by accident I found nice… -
Re: Metal Making
Why can't metal look good without a spec map? I've seen hundreds of game textures with incredible painted metal, and, for that matter, it's been done quite well in still paintings for hundreds of years. Rick *is* right that it's all about surface properties. Layers of highlights, reflections, shadows... But metal's pretty… -

Rigging in Maya
Introduction In response to this thread: [url="https://"]Rigging in Maya: Recursive Constraints and FBIK[/url] I've written up some of my notes from my Maya rigging class to see if they help anyone. Instead of waiting to post them all at once I'll post them as I write them up. I'm also going to ask my professor if posting… -
Re: Making a mech topology question
do you have an idea of what this mech will look like when it's done; e.g, concept art? Have you looked at artstation to get ideas, or watched any hard surface mech tutorials on youtube? https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=hard+surface+mech+tutorial could be a good starting point -
