Here is the finished model. Started doing some colour blending. Currently working with fill layers. The tutorial uses regular painting layers and he jumps around to different hues a lot... Will experiment with that to see if I like it. It scares me a bit because its more of a destructive workflow. Leaves are missing from…
You know him in the videogame art community as PhillipK, the one writing all those amazing tutorials as of late. I wanted to talk with him about who he is, why he's writing these tutorials (really, what's in it for him?) and where he's headed in the future. And if his desk setup (pictured above) is any indication, he's a…
Hi to all! Few years ago i spent almost all my free time on.. THIS. The main question is - how to avoid some very small repetitive actions in maya..Yeah. We spend a lot of time using default maya marking menu. When i played a lot with my maya - i decided to make the lesson ( but... when it was done.. i lost all the…
Hi! Perhaps share some more information how you implemented this in the material. It's likely I came across works of Alex on AS, but am unfamiliar with his tutorials/ specific workflow. Best attach files that allow re-producing the issue (zip and attach to post). If you don't want to share the whole model, isolate an area…
Hey, I'll do my best to answer your questions. I'll keep things simple but if you want me to go further into detail on certain points let me know. 1) That is one workflow, there is nothing stopping you from making something in ZBrush, retopologizing (making it low poly) in ZBrush also too. My general workflow really just…
Great! Another one Plasticity user :) Since it's used mostly by artists, it's better to watch tutorials for Fusion 360, if you want to understand CAD methods. Some tools are different there, but you'll see how engineers think and work. For those who want to try Plasticity, I can confrm, it's very user friendly. Also it has…
@Alex Javor , on the topic of paid tutorials/Gumroad content : I would say that this is not so much a question of compensating for income but rather just one way amongst others to tap into passive revenue streams. Being in (any) industry is great and all, but unless one is a studio founder or somehow manages to negociate…
surely you can render out from an orthogonal camera so you can just have the planes wherever you like as long as the layer order is correct? in fact it might be easier to have things more spread out so you can select them easily in the top view (for example) and still have them look right in orthogonal? also if you're not…
People maybe wondering why I post this quesion here but not official forum at 3D coat. Well I did posted there just posting here as well to up the chance to solve my problem :p (please forgive my selfishness) So the story goes: I've been searching for a software that is good and easy to use on painting diffuse map to…
Here are some bookmarks I've collected. The biggest help to anyone that I've seen is not only reading but putting in hours and hours of practice. Good luck! PSG 7 MUST READ.
