This post brought a tear to my eye! Thanks. I appreciate this insight. =) My questions already been answered, and at this point I'm just responding to people, really lol. I've decided on a strategy. I'll provide an example of the skill I want. Or examples
If you're going to be showing the wires of your highpoly source models in your portfolio, I think it would be a strength to have some examples of both - the attentive lead looking at it will probably perceive this as a positive example of your knowing more than one technique.
Looking good so far, but for the folds i would look into some stylized examples and go into that direction. right now they are too blooby and wonky. give them some clear straight lines and directon. for example: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/PmGdJL
Ok, so after poking around and doing some reading and thinking on the problem, I'm starting to think my initial guess was right - that this is an issue of gamma correction. This means two things: #1 - You artist types arent just smoking crack or anything :P In fact actually whoever originally picked up on the whole "use a…
Hi there. As I've been working on a pistol project I've gotten some good feed back, And some question on edge on control in zbrush. After seeing such interest in it, I wanted to see what i could come up with. The biggest thing i came up with was creating a retopologization in all quads, Then creating fast edge loops with…
So what did you do to achieve the far right example? I see that the edges are jagged, but from the side you don't have wavy lines, which is what I'm after. All my examples / tests have the result of your middle cylinder.
Hey! Do you guys know what makes old graphics, old? Take a look at broodwar for example They are sprites made from 3d objects, but they have a unique look, maybe its the color limitation, maybe old render engines, what is it? Some more examples:
Not that hard, if I understand you correctly. Here's a super-simple example, max 8 format. Uses a UDynaFlect deflector, which lets you choose arbitrary geometry. Replace the particle system and you're good to go. http://www.ericchadwick.com/examples/files/particles_filling_a_box.zip
I don't think that's an especially good example, i was just messing before going to bed ^^ You shouldn't look too much for complex examples and super large and impressive shading networks, some very basic effects can easily simulate a large range of materials :)
i saw some good hair examples from some of the entries in comicon challenge 2010, and the varga tut is a widely referenced method, but I think this topic needs exploring further by artist & engineers, or perhaps I just need more practice:) and another texture example I made with finer hairs
