Hi. I'm not sure what you call this exactly, but I'm trying to bake the lighting shining through the window so I can use it as a texture map. Does this make sense? How do I do this. Anyone have tutorials? I've manage to bake somewhat light but it was too distorted. I know it probably had to do with the direction of the…
Hey guys, how's it going? I'd like to apologize in advance, I have a ton of questions and have been having a hard time finding the answers on my own. I've been 3d modeling for a while, but have decided to try more complicated models to up my modeling skills. I've done a few high poly models before in 3ds max and maya, but…

Before starting the course I started teaching myself Zbrush and was very interested in creating characters, but never got further than a couple of shoddy head sculpts, and was then constantly told not to waste my time learning…
