Re: Superspecular soft edges tutorial chapter 1
How do you mean? You don't even use the small color gradients in my left example towards to edges of the object? Does that that make much of a difference? I suppose if you are able to optimize and overlap UVs you can save texture space since in this example most sides are identical. The color gradients in the right hand is… -
Re: Question: What makes a environment vivid/living/interesting
1.) Have a focus. Set it up so the scene draws you in to a main structure that you spent a long time making. A great example of this would be the gunner in Prometheus being the focal point and the organic textures around him being the environment. Another example could be a destroyed street in the middle east somewhere… -
Re: A game or movie with African mythology...
spiderDude what exactly are you basing that on? Technically speaking there is no "African" Mythology, in the sense of 1 central thing. Africa as a continent has different groups of religions with some overlap and multiple gods. While yes many do have a central God, (A Zeus if you will) there are many that have lesser gods… -
Re: A few general questions from a beginner
Thanks for all the input. It really opened my eyes to a few different work flows which I need to try out. So basically, I can't do a base mesh in maya, uv map it, bring it to Zbrush and change it drastically, I have to follow the silhouette as close as I can right? For example, if I model a hammer in maya, bring it to Z… -
Re: Normal maps and smoothing group woes
Hey guys, Thanks for the tips. I went ahead and made up another, more clear, example. I am basically aiming for smooth, soft corners look in this example. It works at some places and fails miserably in others - and I still don't understand the logic behind it :poly122: I modeled this in Max, took it to ZBrush and slapped… -
Re: Zbrush 3.1 related
Here's a quick 5 min example I did using superaverageman.ztl. I tried to leave the neck area out of my mask/extraction to better match your mesh example, though it would make much more sense to include the neck so as to save a bit of work reshaping a collar later. This is why it's good to have a complete base mesh to start… -
Re: Crusher
Regardless of what the goal was, it still looks bad to have a texture sheet on your portfolio with 50% wasted space, and its super easy now that everything is textured(the only reason you'd be worrying about minimizing seams, for ease of painting) to do a simple bake to fix your really bad uvs. Any decent engine supports… -
Re: Substance model graph, does anyone use it?
Thanks poopipe for your opinion. Math is not a rub. It's a lack of immediate feedback . For example doing a formula for FX map I constantly have to copy paste into some value processor elsewhere just to see what is really coming through . SD in general is a non stop puzzle generator IMO. For example In Blender geometry… -
Re: Question about Face Weighted Normals in Maya
can u show some good example(s) of face weighted normals ??? -
Painter - process question about baking multiple materials to a single texture set
Hi there, I have a general question about the texturing process with Substance Painter. This is not a specific problem I am having but more of a process that I can't work out. So, let's say for example that I am modelling a prop, a sword for example. The sword has 3 material types, a steel blade, a leather grip and gold…
