Re: starting a new character model.
yeah, the photosourcing is too obvious. What kind of theme are you going for your new character? Like, with your oriental guy, when I think of oriental game art, two games come to mind, jade empire, and guild wars factions. I would study those two games and you'll notice that a lot of there character textures are… -
Re: Tall Grass Textures
you know its far easier and you will invariably get more natural results by using photoref....esp at todays and even tomorrows resolutions. best way ive found is to go out on an over cast day... find some grass cut it and lay it out on a blue peice of card or paper (or cloth but that more expensive) and photograph. you can… -
Re: Remaking Phantasy Star assets
Thanks. Honestly, I'm not satisfied with my current workflow because I struggle with integrating zBrush and sculpting details into hardsurface work. Basically, I work on modeling all the shapes I can pick out from the PSO reference, fill in the rest with my own details, work on bevels and high poly stuff, and then build… -
Re: Sketchbook: Phenopeia
Last week I did two intense modelling sessions, where I tried to make about 10 handpainted low poly models during the span of 5 hours. In the end I didn't manage to do more than 6 assets (so, it's ~45 min on one asset). The aim was to just "model away" and practice without spending too much time on thinking and worrying… -
Re: Marvelous Designer Practice - Cyberpunk"d Character
Next...Textures!! At the beginning i was using quixel suite and handpaint with Photoshop and tested the first materials in Marmoset, in case of Microfiber shader, i was using a custom fuzz map. Not looking so good, for me atleast, seems that the leather coat is maded with oxidized iron,lol. Another major change, using… -
Re: Portfolio Dev Discussion: Quality vs. Quantity
Stylized artwork stands the test of time...one of the reasons its so great is handpainted stuff just doesn't get outdated. For realistic stuff, you pretty much have to constantly update your work to the latest and greatest. Don't put old pieces in ur folio that are clearly lesser than your more recent work. If you want to… -
Re: Improvement and Advice thread
HI Robert! I think your work is not really working because your 3d model and texture work is not blod enough. By Bold I mean that the felling you give here is not a cartoon handpaint stuff or a realistic one but an in between which is weird. Tell us what you try to achieve and we will be able to give you specific… -
Re: Viewport Canvas-Textures detail lost after saving textures
Gamma issue in VC is still a problem even with workaround. Thanks for all the help and suggestions, guys. Will stick to Photoshop/Blender 3d painting for handpainting textures. I am currently giving Unreal engine 4 another go for archviz work. Does anyone know what file format is best for Unreal engine 4 with the best… -
Re: WIP: Models for reel
Instead of handpainting the shadows, why don't you bake a shadowsmap under a global illum light with raytracing on and then overlay it on the texture? Not only will it give you a more real shadow, but it'll allow you to spend more time on the real details of the texture. Besides, you will be able to use it as a "guide" of… -
Re: Photos in textures?
it's all about satisfaction; I personally coulden't be happy showing someone something I 'made' if it was photosourced (im not having a dig at people who do) as I dont feel like it's my work. If you feel like you have acheived something and are happy with it then you might as well do it, but the same applies for everything…
