ZBrush - Normal Map Generation - Clarify if this is usual behaviour please
Are these exports working as they should? And if so, how on earth do I get around this issue?? Each map has another checkbox in ZBrush's normal map export box, checked. The best result is the 1st image (top left). It has perfect shading, but has one huge flaw: the normals don't go to the UV island borders because 'smooth… -
Re: Staple's is selling $1,300 3D printer
This 3d printer is definately a rip off price wise. It uses the same material as other printers, but it requires a cartridge, the cartridge cost is much larger than normal plastic filament. You can get an UP Plus printer for only about $200 more and an UP Mini's print size is only a little smaller for $900 and both I think… -
Re: The Art institute of Los Angeles
Dont mean to pop your AI party bubble but they let anyone in willing to pay 80+ grand for the whole shibang. Just remember use your classes as a jumping off point for learning. Most of important things beyond fundamentals will be learned in your own personal projects/online. Its a good thing your are going to AI LA though,… -
Re: Microsofts "IllumiRoom"
its purely for peripheral vision. All those comments about "if you have a projector for your tv, you dont need that" are completely missing the point of this. All a projector does is increase the screen size of what you already see on a regular tv. This doesnt take whats already there and expand it onto the walls. it keeps… -
Re: Motivation and Frustration with Progressing
I wasn't under the impression that anyone was saying you should call all of your friends and say "Hey sorry we can't be friends anymore I need to do arts 24/7," followed by breaking up with your girlfriend. (You just need to cut back and make sure your girlfriend understands there might be times when she has to remind you… -
Re: [FINISHED!] Engra Deathsword, Warhammer fanart
@amirabd2130 , @tierzilla , @Mateus , @samwoodart - Thanks for the encouragment dudes! Mateus - I think I get what you mean and it depends on the program and the object, generally though I tend to work on pieces in their final position. If a piece is very symmetrical and I'm working in max I'll often build it off to one… -
Re: Hand Topology HELP
I always model my hands in a relaxed pose. The theory is that you should model all joints at 50 percent from either extent. This of course is not a practice used on all joints, but it certainly helps deformation. Putting your hands in a relaxed pose by default also helps avoid the 'mocap hands' look. That's when you have… -
Re: Low poly coffin
The 2.5D snaps are useful to relatively align a vert selection with some other vert outside the selection. Like along a xy, yz, zx plane but not all three axis at once. 1. Turn on 2.5D snap - make sure vertex is checked on in the snapping options, it helps to turn off most of the other snaps as well. I usually just left… -
Re: Need advice on cutting down demo reel length
I think showing off the Mocap stuff, the shot with the Raw data and the final clip should suffice. The break down would be nice to have somewhere on your site available if they wish to view it more. As you said 3 minutes is super long for a reel. I imagine half way through recruiters or people hiring would turn off. I… -
Re: [UE4] London Blitz
Off to a good start with the props! A few observations that might help you: - The wheels on your spot light look really blocky compared to the rest of your silhouette. Maybe up the sides on your cylinders, the extra polygons won't matter much and it will look a lot better :) - Make the wear and tear on your textures tell a…
