Re: The Beast - A Character Art Contest
"Beauty shots can be rendered in any real time or offline renderer." ^^ Just to double check/confirm out of paranoia, that means that Vray is okay to use for rendering this? -
Re: (Characters) Im Going To Build Better People
All the previous renders are the hi poly in toolbag2 This render is in Keyshot (With some updated texturing from last night). Keyshot will most likely be what the final is rendered in. -
Defense Technology Smoke Grenade
A re-work of an older model of mine. Modeled after a smoke grenade manufactured by Defense Technology. Minor texture tweaks prior to the new renders and post-render manipulation. Many more renders and 3D Viewer on my Artstation page: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/kDD3Wd -
Re: Looking for feedback on my Portfolio
You have a lot of promise. I think your wheeled vehicles are pretty strong with the Leyland Torpedo standing out more to me. The Honda feels like the materials or perhaps teh lighting arent quite there. Ide compare it to renders from a game like Forza and see if you can get yours to match that almost photo real look. Once… -
Re: Solutions for sculpting tileable textures (other than bricks) in zbrush 4.
other method is using 2.5d to create tilable map i wont go much detail on how to do 2.5 d texture since the tutorials are quite plenty out there :) like this [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNgs2DcAsF4"]ZBrush Tileable Textures 01 - 2.5D Workflow - YouTube[/ame] btw in my case I created 16 bit alpha map to create… -
Re: LoDs: From how many tris does it make sense?
Hey, Johan, I totally agree with you. Everything does count and in no way should you just drop LoDs. Make the best you can with what you've got and waste nothing. I fully support this approach and in no way am I advocating sloppy work. In fact I would be the one to optimize stuff even when it makes no difference to anyone.… -
Re: How to create Point Light Maps?
There are various problems with baking lighting using point lights. The most prominent is that specular highlights will kick you in the ass if you don't adjust your gloss and overall intensity properly before baking. The wider the specular highlight, the smoother the shading will be. This is essential if you're using any… -
Re: Normal maps, Engines and dull colour palettes!
Hey nice example Vrav. I guess from that point on, we can even make further distinctions : the actual rendered/zbrush matcapped source sculpt (and texture), compared to the end result in the game. The most striking example of this problem is Assassins Creed 2. You get OMG YOURE A ZMASTER comments at the sculpted character… -
Re: [Portfolio] buttsahib
Overall your character stuff isn't too bad. You seem to have some varied characters, as well as a decent array of different types. However Your lighting and rendering and post work is ass. The FX around Ghostrider aren't even remotely passable. You aren't an FX artist. Either post add them in with Photoshop - or an FX… -
Re: Portfolio Critique
Good work on the site. Easy to navigate and find everything. Even the light-box thumbnails didn't bother me that much. You could probably just post the reel video at the top of your gallery page instead of having two separate pages. Also, IMO for props and environment work I'd rather see a gallery of nice big stills than a…
