I followed some tutorials on the internet on how to do that but i had no success using them because i was always stuck in a certain part of the tutorials and i couldnt understand how to continue. I also searched the forum for tutorials but i still had no luck in making a texture. I should explain what exactly i want to…
For basic sculpted detail in your example, a simple rectangle shape is needed. General guides not hard rules. * Only add extra edges / tris when you have form change or want to keep the curvature of surface smooth to match with high poly curvature. As you have noticed too many small tris by pro artists, those usually are…
I think the single largest issue I've had with Modo is community support. It's fairly easy for a dumb issue to crop up, like accidentally pressing some hotkey and breaking the viewport (I recently managed to accidentally activate Falloff, preventing me from being able to transform anything, and it took a few hours to…
Really great post Kevin, very inspiring. It's reading posts like that, that instil confidence in me in my abilities as an aspiring 3D artist. As a student I see a lot of my fellow students following tutorial after tutorial, following them exactly as they say and then say 'hey look, I made this!' and don't bother with…

Modeling methods and techniques are largely the same no matter what program you are using. The only thing that changes are what the tools are called and where the buttons for them are. Even tutorials from a different program than the one you are using can teach you tips and tricks that universally apply. One of my…
Thank you for the advice; I have tried many tutorials, and more than once too, but I should probably to it more systematically like you're suggesting. I really appreciate the tip. Okay, so I've ruled out tutorial #3 as well. That leaves tutorial #1 and the Veoh one that Psyk0 linked. The only thing about the Veoh one is…
This is a tutorial where I demo a simple setup for getting paint color selection and decal selection working in your vehicle select menus. This is geared towards a racing game setup, but the same techniques will work in any game where you want to swap textures on a character or model or add decals to that model. This…
