Re: Highpoly ZBrush UDIM workflow?
Zbrush is weird with udims. It works by polygroups and you can't view them in multiple tiles or at the same time in UV space. It seems that they're all stacked in 0-1 but they're not. It's just the way ZB does it. It also has it's own udim tag. You can't set them up in ZB so you will have to do that elsewhere. Import your… -
Re: Zbrush is distorting my happy UVs
In zbrush, the normal/displacement maps are baked at the lowest level to capture the differences between high and low, while polypaint-based maps like textures are created at the highest level in order to capture the detail. This is why those maps would be rounded, as zbrush will likely be set to smooth UVs. There's a ReUV… -
Re: What is the best way/ things to consider when retopologising a high poly character
The most important thing to consider when retoping an organised mesh(deforming/animated character) is the topology on areas that need to deform and therefore skin well: shoulders, elbows, knees, pelvis, facial topology, etc. Have a look on the wiki here for some good examples. Also, when first learning to lay down good… -
Re: Portfolio pimpin' (Marcelo Viana)
First thing that bothered me, the images are too wide to fit in one window for me. Sitting at 1680x1050 resolution, and I have to scroll left to fit the whole image. Not much, but still cutting off some of the edge of the images. Second thing, the Beholder's eyes all seem very dull; virtually no highlights. It could be… -
Re: Zbrush Zapplink problem
What steps are you taking? Give the mesh UVs, and a Texture (Tool: Texture: New from Polypaint if it doesn't have one). Manually drop it with Projection Master / G (Color only, fade optional but I keep it off). Then Zapplink should take you straight to photoshop. Do your painting, and make sure you end up with the same… -
Re: Retopology in Maya
Topogun :) Not being a fan of Nex or Make Live, I use Topogun for retopology. It's got a few drawbacks (lack of extrude) but for the most part it's good and fast for retopology. 3dcoat might have a few more tools than Topogun, but if you just want to retopologize, a Topogun license is cheaper. As far as workflow is… -
Re: Making retopology great (...again?) - Share your tips & tricks!
Good tips to start. @lotet : I typically try to stay as low as possible, but some of the forms I'm dealing with are highly irregular and uneven. If I start too low and add loops later, some of the vertices get "thrown" to other nearby surfaces or collapse the geometry altogether. @Sunray : the polypaint guide tip is… -
Re: Face A Day December 2016
Great idea dude! I love the style of these! A little critique for ya; I feel like you could really progress a lot more if you slow down a little and work on the sculpt more before starting your polypainting. Some of these are really clean like Day 2, 5 but then some are very muddy and anatomically incorrect - Day 4, 7. So… -
Re: Pokemon Trainer Hilda
Righto. I've done most of the changes suggested, most of them on the face. Unfortunately, and this was mainly due to my destructive way of working, a lot of the issues I had with textures I was unable to go back and make any major adjustments. (I polypainted most of it on zbrush, which attributed to some stretching on the… -
Re: how to describe my skills in English
Combine "polygon modeling" and "hard surface modeling" to just "3d modeling". "polypainting" to me is the same as "texturing".. I'd recommend.. Skills: 3d modeling, high poly sculpting, concept painting, texture maps, normal maps Make sure your skills are in order. The first skill is your best skill. "human anatomy" may…
