Re: Newbie question regarding modeling
You can bake to a mid poly version if you bake object space normals and covert those with an app like Handplane, but it's pretty much a waste of time in my opinion. Just add some supporting geometry wherever necessary on your lowpoly instead as geometry nowadays is pretty cheap. In a best practice scenario you should never… -
Re: First model ever (terrible i think) (surf theme)
Just don't go and try any large projects that you are not ready for and do a bunch of small props until you have the workflow from modeling all the way to having a textured asset in engine imo. Or else you end up with someone so awful that the shame will pierce your soul. At least that's my experience. Just know what you… -
Re: Female Character wtih hoody
Fred2303: Thanks! Improvement is always good to hear :) . I've got two UV sets, so I created an image showing one set (diffuse, normal, spec, alpha). I'll post it below. I use ZBrush instead of mudbox, howcome? As for CAT, compared to other rigging systems I've used, its amazing, so simple, clean and easy. It does all the… -
Re: how should i rig this sort of hinge?
Are you using maya? All you need to do is set up a few controls, a global, one for the rotation, and one for the pivot of the bluish top piece. Self group the controls to ensure that the get the proper inputs and make sure the pivots are where you want them. Then parent constrain the controls to the needed geometry. Then… -
Re: Whats a good workflow for those who can't sculpt?
im mainly doing futuristic environments, not foliage at the moment. Devices like guns and what not are important. trying to figure out whether to do normals in photoshop or sculpt it in mudbox i guess. I plan to learn in the future but need to know what to do at the moment. I guess the question on my mind is do i need to… -
[PAID] Modeling/Texturing Artist for Promotional Art
Hello, We’re looking for a 3D artist who can create models with complex PBR materials and textures. We’re the developers of PixaFlux, a node-based PBR texture compositing tool, and we’re open to any kind of modeling/texturing style, as long as the materials and textures are built using PixaFlux. The texturing workflow must… -
Re: How to use mental ray materials?
welcome to the board. :) mia_material_x is probably the most common general purpose shader. but all the shades have some use depending on what you want to do. i would suggest you experiment and have fun and try stuff out. there are lots of general maya shader nodes that you can use with mental ray. as for tutorials there… -
Constraint Not Completed - 3ds Max
Hi guys, so I've been following the Introduction to Character Rigging in 3ds Max from Digital Tutors and I've run into a bit of trouble. For some reason it's no longer allowing me to constrain anything to anything - I even tried going back to previous bones/helpers that I had constrained before and this message still comes… -
Unreal terrain.spline blending. Help!
At 1:20 what is that called when you blend the terrain with the road spline? I would kill to know how to do that on my current project for work. If any one can direct me to a good resource for UE4 environment tutorials I would greatly appreciate it (any thing other then digital tutors). The main reason I ask is to try and… -
Sketchbook: Leviculas
Hi there! So, im a software developer trying my hand at 3D modelling. I am going to do some tutorials (mostly Digital Tutors), but i probably won't post them as i'm sure you guys have seen plenty of them already. I would love any crit or advice you can give. Thanks! This is my first go at modelling something myself and…
