Re: Need some Guidance on Working as a 3D Modeler
I can't give you the years of industry experience, or all the tips and tricks that come with a healthy understanding 3d; but I can give some advice on how to think. 1. Stop working, (that would nice wouldn't it) but seriously stop working, and stop freaking out. Take a good long look at how your working. Ask yourself how… -
Re: unwrapping hi-poly models quickly..tips?
Yeah this is something I want to experiment with more. In some cases I don't think you even need to "texture it" properly like you would with an in-game mesh. Not by unwrapping it and painting a fully unwrapped texture. I would look more towards combining procedural bases with masked textures on different UV channels, you… -
Issue with padding on Diffuse texture
Hi I'm having a problem with a texture for a character/creature I'm working on. Somewhere along the way, I think I've screwed up the padding. I've exported out various parts of my texture from Substance Painter - mostly masks - in order to sort of collapse layers down to reduce the file size as it was getting too big and… -
Intuos4 design flaw FIX
Hey everyone with an Intuos4! I'm sure by now you've realized how ridiculously fast your nibs wear down with light use, so I have a created a solution to the problem. Many Intuos4 users have complained to Wacom about the very abrasive paper like surface that the Intuos4 tablet has, and I have found a way to polish it so… -
DOTA 2 Courier - Phantom Lancer Mammoth
Hello Polycount, I've been a lurking in the forums for a long time, appreciating all the great art that has been posted here. This is my first thread on Polycount! After seeing CyborgMatt's Shagbark DOTA 2 courier I got really excited and decided to work on a courier based off of a hero. For those of you who may not know… -
Weekly Substance Challenge - Week 1
Hey everyone. Recently I've been trying to up my game on substance designer, like many of you. After working with someone else proved most helpful, I decided what better way to expand on that than create one of the many loved challenge threads. How it works * Each week I will be posting a new texture for us to make. * You… -
Re: Blender- Render out realtime black outline
If you really want to use the raw OpenGL render (Render -> "OpenGL Render Image" from the top menu), there's a trick way. Set the character material(s) to use either the Mask or Z Transparency modes, with the alpha set to something really close to zero, but not perfectly zero. This way when it draws on the viewport it… -
Answered: Mixer Issue - Layers stop updating
Hi :) I use Mixer for simple texturing tasks. After having updated to the newest version, I noticed that after working on a file for some time (variable) layers don't update anymore/ the rendered result doesn't change when I make changes to a layer. For example when switching the visibility of an layer off, the layers… -
Re: "I Don't Know How to do that!"
Hi, interesting topic since even though I'm an experienced / intermediate programmer I often get this fear. I think it relates to pride, like people have mentioned, but also wanting to prove you can accomplish a task without disrupting another person - seem inexperienced. Under time constraints, I'll often seek advice from… -
Re: Typewriter lowpoly question
If someone asked me to bake that I'd be extremely enthusiastic .. about finding someone else to do it :D if the OP is determined - breaking it down into simpler volumes is the right place to start - eg. the hammer thingies (attached to the keys) are basically a solid mass when seen from a metre or two away, as is the…
