Hi N3reu :) I couldn't give you a complete feedback because i estimate that i don't have enough knowledge but i saw 2-3 things you can improve in your portfolio :) First of all, try to bake your lighting in your ue4 envi. Avoid the technical messages as "lighting need to be rebuild"... It's sound like an unfinished…
Well, as a former 38er, myself and all the other ex-38ers are super baffled by this. It's none of us... at least that we know of (and quite a few people have chimed in with their own bewilderment now in the various post-38 groups and such). Our best guess is that its someone from Rhode Island gov't hacking together a…
You can find keybinds under Edit -> Settings -> Shortcuts. By default Y will remove the quick-mask, and T is to edit and use quick-mask (and I to invert). With that active you won't be able to paint on any areas that are masked out areas. As for your problem, it looks like your brush has somehow had its greyscale value…
1. Workflow-wise, it's better to assign weights to their intended bone than to subtract. For example, if the Neck is influencing the Head too much. Don't select the Neck and remove weighting. Select the Head and add weighting. This will keep things much more predictable. 2. Is this for a game engine? Couple of things.…
Depends on the situation. I guess in some respects "cheating" as the guys said with the clone stamp, is going against improving yourself as an artist because you are removing the mistakes that are fundementally yours. However if you have finished off a scene and take a picture, sure put it in photoshop to make sure you get…
@AlexCatMasterSupreme Thanks for all the Criticism, Better to know what I've done wrong the 1st time so I can work on getting better in the future. I did put the AK through Ddo when I was learning how to use it but It didnt give the result I wanted so I scraped it and did it all in photoshop for the diffuse, the Normal…
@ PredatorGSR: I definitely see your point and I agree about removing the qualifiers. The only thing I am afraid of is removing Zbrush entirely. I know the program enough to work in it, but I have not used it enough to create a portfolio piece it in. So I don't want someone looking at my resume and thinking I have no…
Wow, Thanks everyone! I'll work on the cylindrical parts and the grip and get them higher poly. My wife says the laser sight looked like a toy anyway, so I'll simplify the design. Harry - No I didn't bake it in Blender. You can get some decent bakes in Blender, but I just prefer using X-Normal. You don't have to arse…
I completely forgot about this until now, but two systems ago I had two removeable HD's. The HD enclosure fit into one of the drive bays and was set as my master drive. One was loaded with Windows and the other Linux. Depending on what I was doing (trying misserably to teach myself linux) I would slide in one or the other.…
Got a couple of questions if anyone has some time please, I apologise for the use of English. Actual Character Source File Questions 1) Why is there a biped skeleton and an additional rig? Is it just purely that biped is used to help scale characters in figure mode. Because as soon as you remove bip root / bip01 you remove…
