Re: organic rock UV seams
I'm not going to create a rock just to unwrap it and I don't have any examples sitting in front of me, if you wanted to post the mesh I could show you how I would stitch the pieces together to reduce the seams. But really it shouldn't matter how many seams you have when it comes to seam errors. even with a lot more seams… -
Re: Cover Art Dump
Looking good man, I think its already 10x better than the old one. I would say play with adding some colored bands running horizontally through the rock. Mess with making a few custom brushes using squares rather then circles they can create some nice effects. And then maybe get rid of some of the smaller hairline cracks… -
Re: Normal Maps: Can Somone Explain This "Black Edge" issue
when you guys mention averaged cage, how do you go about doing that in max/maya? i dont think ive noticed a button that says average cage unless im an idiot and haven't seen that. i hope this isn't getting off topic but i ran my own tests when i was taking a break from work on thursday and ran these similar tests. then i… -
Re: Custom Lighting with Anisotropic Specular?
Nice! I totally forgot about the Cross between the Normal Map and Aniso Direction. I have no idea what s_den is honestly...it adds about 9 extra instructions in my case and makes it darker for some reason. The only thing I'm worried about right now is how well something like this:… -
Re: 3D Creation - Workflow Help.
That's a nice looking colour texture there. The normal map is clearly made via the Nvidia filter, but it does the job ok for a quick asset. Hard surface subdivision modelling is used instead of or alongside sculpting to make model parts that require a smooth surface with sharp edges. Examples are cars, robots, armour… -
Re: Comicon TOP 30 Announced
~ To clarify, I'm not shooting the models down. I'm saying that essentially they don't have the key things employers are looking for when hiring. I pretty much learnt 90% of what I know online as did many of you, and I followed by winning examples. If I were to follow the example of some of the entries in that first vote,… -
Re: Naija (Aquaria) - ZBrush Sculpt
Ah, I loved Aquaria. I think you're off to a very solid start here, but you need to take a step or two back and develop and detail up the body and costume. A lot of her is still quite soft at this point and a little blobby in places, most notably on the feet. I'd probably take the time to work out what extra details she… -
Re: Substance Practice: How am I doing?
For a first try you made a good start, I just believe there are a couple of things you cound improve on. Here are some examples. For the Tiles: - You should mask out the space between the tiles with an edge detect note. Right now this are is just plaint black. You should add noise to your normal map (fractle some base for… -
Re: Top Gear 'usa style'
[ QUOTE ] Oh my god a design mASSterpiece!!!! [/ QUOTE ] Toomas, about the only people in this country who drive Crown Vics are law enforcement officers . If you want an example of a cool American car, I'd say the new C6 Corvette Z06, the new Mustang GT (and the upcoming GT500), and the Saleen S7 are all great examples of… -
Re: Seek Professional Opinion for Environment Artist Career Decision
Schools are happy to take money from you, but they don't guarantee they'll get all students a job. Those examples you posted is proof of that. Students can submit anything during class and a teacher has no choice but to pass it along. In reality, those renders are very far away from getting noticed by a professional…
