Re: Arms & Armor: Questions & Answers
Reply by islipaway · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Arms & Armor, Chivalry: Medieval WorkshopQ: If I created a set for an archer, would special arrows count as the secondary/special weapon? Do things like helmets and arrows have to be functional? For example - a cloth cap wouldn't save your head and a whistling arrow wouldn't do much damage but they may fit thematically in a set (not necessarily the same set, just… -
Re: How would i unwrap - Where can i learn unwrapping better?
Think about trying to wrap cloth around your model. How would you cut these pieces of cloth, so it fits your model best? The unwrap in the second post actually looks pretty good. Don't worry too much about uv's that do not match well. Basically what you want to do is limit the amount of seams you have. (This is a rule of… -
Re: [WIP] Flamethrower unit *Critique needed* (And other projects)
1) Your elbow area needs more edgeloops to support deformation. Please reference the Polycount wiki for topology exampels that work at this density of tris. Fingers same issue. 2) That is a way to make clothing, armor, etc. in general 3) Flamethrower needs to be designed where it makes sense. Study how a flamethrower… -
Re: hamstocks Workshop Thread
Hello polycount, I haven't forgotten about this concept, I just haven't had much time to work lately. But I had some time today, so I did a little work to it. So I added the scarf/cloth around his neck, as well as the bracer. They both still need some more work, but I like the cloth idea. The bracer, well, that could… -
Re: male character modelling, with penis or without ?
Most likely so they can sell the model also as a 'medical' anatomical model, minus muscle and bone. Hitting 2 birds with 1 stone so to speak. It could also be because you have a much larger buyer list like this, if a person wants to use your model, they will, and will get rid of the penis, those who want the penis, have it… -
Re: Help a beginner in 3D game art
I wouldn't use Max or Maya to retop... Topogun is my go-to app for that... 3D Coat isn't bad either. And, no, character artists gotta know more about materials than just skin and hair. To name a few; cloth, linen, leather, wool, metal, steel, brass, and etc etc. Because you have to dress up the characters too. And this… -
Re: A Male Character WIP!
I like the clothing, but I'm not sure about the hair/facial area. It might be the SSS but he looks a bit.. plastic-y. Tone it down to a slight reflection, for the most part it's doing more harm to the skin/realism of this guy than doing good to it. Another thing might be to study the aesthetics of his clothing. It looks… -
Re: Cyberpunk-ish Girl
It's a mix of three methods, simulation, scan, and sculpt, the three S's :smile: I first simulated the clothing, which was the first post I made for this thread. I wasn't too happy with the sleeves, so I redid them, using photo reference to sculpt, to ensure I had folds in the right directions, and then supplementing with… -
Re: Knight Guard 3D Character
Thanks for the comment Grubber. That's what I normally do and it is very effective obviously! This project I wanted to see how extracts could be used effectively, and I think next project I'll know what I can manage better in maya and what can be be drawn up in Zbrush easier than in Maya! As for cloth, the concept has a… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Junkie_XL, Character Artist
i was overly critical yesterday. A lot of your finished textured models really do come together very nicely, and a lot of the flaws I notice, seem to pop up in your high poly shots. MAINLY, the cloth. You pinch the edges of the cloth so hard it looks razor edged. Once it's been baked down, it's less of a problem, but in…
