Re: Rendering high poly zbrush sculpts
If the problem you're having is running out of RAM or getting slowdown in the viewport, then yeah do what Kary said - export a decimated (or lower subd) version of the mesh, do test renders with that, and when you're ready for the final, import the highest level into a hidden layer (make a new layer, hide it but leave it… -
Re: New.. Removing or painting over Textures
save yourself a lot of trouble and do some tuts. you'll want to understand how to use the layer stack to your advantage here. That's the main way to separate different types of elements. Technically you can paint directly in a single layer like that, but -- well just do some tuts and you'll see why it's really wasting the… -
Re: Adobe Generator for PS CC ...
It is great, but there are some pretty major drawbacks with the vanilla implementation, that you could hack and fix if you have the skills, but by default causes many problems. Adding TGA is very simple once you figure out where the files are. I went through the process of installing and running a nodejs server before… -
Re: Normal maps.

Re: Teach me 2 art?

I have not seen any action before that works like mine and i have thought before that it would be nice to have something in Photoshop like symmetry stuff in 3d. Its made so it delete the other… -
Re: IN PROGRESS: Curvature mask

Once the project created, I add in this case, a bumblebee smart material, clic on the folder icon , then clic on a layer mask to open dynamask. Then I paste my curvature map in custom… -
Re: Feedback for Megascans
Feedback on the Studio tool: I'm having a lot of difficulty accomplishing what I want to in this tool, which is: To blend various similar looking scans to create a larger (2x2 or 4x4) texture that doesn't have noticeable repeating patterns (most of the scans have very unique detail, which is cool, but it makes them… -
Re: Mari and Modo Indie available now on Steam
Basically, MARI is a lot more advanced and gives you more options, but it's not as streamlined as SP. One example I can give you (mind you, I am not super experienced with SP) is masking. In Mari, you can assign channels as masks for anything, which basically means you have the equivalent of an entire PSD with as many… -
Re: Why Modo?
A major factor in Modo adoption has to with the fact you dont get punished for not upgrading between versions and it is cheaper than going with Maya or Max. In short the licensing is very pro consumer. Many of love the fact we can skip upgrading, and then upgrade to the latest version at no added cost, its the same price…
