Re: (WIP) Predator Tank
Hey, looking like a solid start :) . I think the proportions look alright, although I am currently doing the worlds longest retopo and so my eyes have gone a bit funny haha, however for the tank tracks, the way I did it, was to create a single track and then with the grid, just slide it into the next section (or where it… -
Re: Using Gopro for textures?
I've got a first edition gopro hero and it takes stills fine, nothing special ... in fact a modern phone could do just as good really. I've seen the quality of the Black(and used it for a few weeks) and in terms of video it is excellent but for photo's I still don't think it's anything great. Unless you are primarily going… -
Re: First game character model - feedback appreciated
I'll not rig that one, this is solely for purpose of trying to retopo for the first time and bake maps correctly. So, I went on, retopolized the clothing, done uv layout and created normal maps and of course I run into some errors that I have no clue how to fix and why they're there in the first place :D The overall look… -
Re: The worst time to graduate?
Average London weekly rents: http://www.londonpropertywatch.co.uk/average_rental_prices.html The cheapest rents on there are about £200 ($320 USD) per week for a one bedroom apartment. These are all 6+ miles away from the 'central london' area where people tend to work (EC1), where rent is in excess of £400 ($640 USD) per… -
Re: Tank Treads!
The spacing tool will get the treads populated, BUT if you want to animate it, you're looking at quite a bit of rigging... Tank treads are some of the harder things I've had to rig up... I ended up using a method similar to Paul Hormis's dynamic chain tutorial to get them rigged up and flowing around a path. It was a bitch… -
Re: really really noob sculpting/mudbox question
Perna I appreciate your brash honesty in that, however, I just wasn't sure if it was understood or not :) . Thank you for clarifying it. I'm just a guy trying to get some valuable information. Basically what I'm trying to ask is how far should I push the low poly base mesh for a sculpt so the UV's will remain intact with… -
Re: zbrush mask by AO problem
Solution: Zbrush 4R6 if freeze on Windows 7: exit/shut down Zbrush, go to and delete Users\Public\Documents\ZBrushData\VMem Users\Public\Documents\ZBrushData\Temp then: 1. Always use lower subdiv, where you should have enough detail too: around 400 ~ 800K poly level is still fast = ZB does AO mask in seconds. Retopo for… -
Re: Blastoise!
Idk, I have to agree with the comment above aesthetically. Seems way too small to be a blastoise; I mean the are huge tank turtles are the not? Also you seem to be putting too much "realism" into it as well, even in the gears of war/warhammer 40k universe I imagine blastoise having a rather color Platte. All is not lost… -
Re: ToniX and Pancake's Dota 2 thread
Great concept and it will really fit slark as well! A few things, it's better to start blocking out the most important shapes, so you can use it for the high poly. If you finished the high poly, you can start modeling the lod_0, which you use to bake your normal map. When you finished the bake you can start reducing the… -
Re: where to look for photo references for sci-fi junk?
Thanks for the detailed reply - all really good points! I guess reference doesn't necessarily have to be drawn from the direct real-word analogue of whatever you're modelling as long as it looks like it vaguely fits. Philip K has some really great techy stuff on that page and I've definetely used it as ref/inspiration…
