Brush alignment can work if you're painting on geometry that isn't your target (like you have a cylinder cap with an inset and you want to stamp a circle on the cap, but the center inset is a separate island/material/whatever), but it doesn't help if there's no geo in the first place. Perhaps you can try throwing in temp…
Started a new sculpt! Of this character that I designed for a 2D animation idea I had about pole dancing: So here's a work in progress of her: I've been using the sculptris Pro mode a lot recently but actually have been finding it drives you round in circles a bit because of how easy it is to smooth everything down and…
I doubt I'll go learn how to use blender in my current position, but when I have more time I do see the benefit. Max has scripts including regularizer which can convert both edges and faces into a perfect circle. I do notice the ugly distortions of the preserve UVs in Max, but it seems like I can combat these by adding new…
there is this kind of thing called speculation. people speculate constantly. a humans "knowing" is nothing more than believing your speculations are true. speculation is based on the things you are sure about. but you can't prove anything (if we really want to be objective ;) ), because to proof something you need to know…
Sorry for the delay - sinus infections in Texas can cause some downtime. Anywhoo... Progress! After working myself in circles and refining (some by accident, some by design) I'm at the point where I feel mostly comfortable and familiar with my Max/Mudbox workflow for modifying geometry and then sculpting it. I've got all…
This was my second project for this class, to recreate a still life in Maya. I spent a lot more time than Id really like to admit getting the wood texture on the desk the way I wanted it. Its procedurally generated from Mayas wood material but I was feeling very particular about this mahogany desk and I wanted it…
@alexholmesl93 Cool stuff :) very nice ornate pattern to look at. All I can say is I see some polygonal lines on the edges of your circles. Did you achieve the shapes with a Polygon instead of a Shape node? I found myself a cool ref pic online that sort of got me started. I might change my mind later on about the pattern…
thanks for the input. yeah might have overlooked the edgewidth a little when it comes distance shots, I couldnt for the life of me get the decimation, or any plugin to install properly. instead of moping around with it I proceeded with the baking anyway. I dont really see any baking errors? the dark spot on the chest upper…
Yep... and that was my problem in the beta (and why others were outraged too). I wanted the acceleration of that damn stick! I can't fly with it there. I hated the new knife location, but got use to it, after moving it to the circle, and I absolutely despised the movement of the spot button. Battlelog on the select button…
Hi ScottMichealH, I really like the concept! The trees are not turning around the pipe anymore, i think that was a cool idea. By now the circle shape of the back wall is completely hide. Maybe you can try to reduce the number of leaves, maybe like that: https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1305542836/_.jpg Also, is just my…
