To many straps and armor plates lately, so I took a Domwar break and did this: this afternoon. Hell of a time with the face. It was at an interesting angle in the original picture, but interesting quickly turned painful. I looked at the WPE timelapse from opencanvas and it looks like i had the right placement in the layout…
Thanks for the comments! My first design had it so that you could see all the abilities you have but I couldn't get a good layout for it that I thought looked good. The way you will change abilities will be like changing a weapon. I took your advice and changed it a bit. You're right about the rust, definitely looks…
Yep, the transferring UV layouts only works with Diffuse, spec, and bump (not normal maps). I probably should have been more clear that it only works with B/W bump maps when I wrote this. A few people have thought I was talking about normal bump maps. I'm still working on the more in depth version which covers how to…
Renderhjs: I'll definitely be getting my own domain later on. I'm mostly just using this for a temporary place for my pieces where people can go and see my work on an organized layout with a bit of info about me. Pie: Glad you like the work man, I'll definitely try n get some more low poly stuff on here. Any other…
just because you're 15 doesn't mean you shouldn't look at the tutorials. There's a couple 15 year olds on the forums that are doing awesome stuff. :) Grow a thicker skin, if you've been using it for 2 years then uv layouts should be a breeze. Polycounts is about tough love, there's plenty of tutorials out there for…
I've done this by using a path tracer, like V-Ray, and a baking tool like Bake To Texture in 3ds Max. Simply make the emissive a light-emitting material, and let the renderer cast the light onto the rest of the mesh. Then bake the lighting into the UV layout of the mesh. Here's an example model…
so i found out that text scaling in windows 10 affects the sensitiivty of the mouse. My monitor is pretty high res 3840x2160 so the text/UI icons etc appear really tiny at normal size. Settting scale and layout at 150 percent( default) in windows settings really screws up the way the mouse moves. It's definitely more…
"What if the website is really simple and clean? Straight to the point? No weird layout or bs." You just summed up the non-website version of ArtStation. I truly do not think having an upgraded account correlates with raising your chances of getting a job. That $84 could buy you a couple quality tutorials or Timothy Dries'…
Congrats on finishing the asset, I think it looks cool. Design wise, you could try painted metal for chassis/non-movable parts to add some material variation. Some surfaces look a bit noisy in those shots due to the variation in roughness, could also be exaggerated by the lighting. I prefer the shots on the artstation…
What was your reference? I think it's looks OK, though a bit mushy/blurry in places. What's the texture resolution? UV layout? Topology? It also seems to be the same basic pattern all over the whole rock, which doesn't happen much in real life. Lichens tend to congregate in certain areas, dirt in others. A rock in…
