Tileable sculpted texture practices
hello, Recently I decided to dive into the process of making tileable textures in Zbrush. Coming along slowly but hoping to speed up my process within following practices. Didn't polypaint them but looks like it has some benefits. Comment and critiques are more than welcomed, thanks. This is the first one that didn't end… -
'Vertex' Tutorial - How would you do this unwrap?
I've been looking through Ryan Hawkins 'Vertex' and wanted to try the Jeans texturing method (shown on page 176 onwards) on a character I've got. My question is, how would you go about getting an unwrap as clean as his, in order to then be able to use overlays when making the texture. I know I can relax with fixed boundary… -
Re: Sketchbook: The Lama
Long time again, as usual :P The last couple of days i've been working through Bad Kings zbrush tutorials and just got through the Bonesaw one. I also messed around with some polypainting and compositing BPR renders. This was yesterday's efforts. Rendered in keyshot. Would love some critiques if anyone has any. Also I'm… -
Re: ArenaNet Art Test - Norn Female
Since my last update I've taken the advice of BradMyers82 and DannSw (thanks again) and spent a deal more time working on the actual anatomy (specifically the back and hips). I've also built my low-poly and baked my maps. She's also in engine (marmoset toolbag) now. I baked on flat base colors from polypaint and mixed… -
Re: Project Monster
I recommend throwing up a couple of stills as well, took about one minute to load the model in the 3D browser which is far too long for most people to wait for when browsing the forums. There's multiple ways you can paint him. One would be to be directly on the UVs in a 2d painting program like photoshop, although that… -
Re: Etta
You should find what actress you want to use as a reference and then find tons of pictures with different angles of them and compare them with your face. I also think you should turn the polypaint off on your face while you're working on it to make it easier to see details without seeing all the different colors on it.… -
Re: Guide: Baking for Maya inside Marmoset Toolbag 3
artifacts and skewing using the brush or better : Bake in Substance Painter 2 bakes for each object (with bake by mesh name it goes ultra fast). One with and one without "average normals". This way you'll end up with a bake that has clean edges and one that has clean sculpted details. Then you play with some masks to… -
Re: ZBrushCore thoughts
Yes, indeed I have got so many free upgrades since I bought 4 Anniversary Edition in fancy tin case. It has been great value. But I don't believe upgrade to ZBrush 5 will be free. Yeah, the UV Master plugin feels quite outdated. Sometimes I do temporary GUV tile map and bake it out to low poly in xNormal, just to get a… -
Re: [PORTFOLIO]-Dan Pingston
Looking at the sculpts of your various characters, one thing that stands out is that you could really push your sculpted details a lot further. Your diffuse texturing / polypainting is pretty decent, but viewing the sculpts on their own, there seems to be a lot of pretty broad strokes, overlaying pretty simple textural… -
Re: Mouse for Digital Artists
I prefer wired USB mice, definitely. Since 5-6 yrs I use a cheap (about 14 here in Italy), effective Microsoft model branded as Basic Optical Mouse. I think that it is no more produced as such, but the Ready Mouse looks similar, although with a different colouring. My first mouse broke up (the wheel, indeed) after heavy…
