Re: To MODO or not to MODO...: MODO VS the Rest... (MODO users needed!)
OK, I'll bite. There are a lot of reasons why it takes me longer to get stuff done in Maya. First, in Maya you have less flexibility with geometry. For example, in Blender I can extrude a vertex like this and get a perfectly usable result for further modeling. In Maya as far as I know you would have to do this with the… -
Re: wip_occlusionof old industry
It's a lot of boxes and cylinders, but it looks like like a scene. By that I mean, literally all the pipes are unmodified cylinders, no transition pieces with walls (just stuck in there). The rails are boxes with no floor transition.attachment. All the i-beams are boxes, couldn't be bothered to hit extrude? Point is, get… -
Re: Noob Struggling with Advanced Project (Need Help ASAP!)
Are you planning on doing all of your hi-poly work in mudbox? You can do a fair amount of the high poly stuff before starting to sculpt. You should probably knock out the hi-poly before you try to finalize the low poly. You usually have to do some tweaking with the low poly and high poly to bake out the maps, especially… -
Re: Wolf Bust WIP
Hello! Thanks everyone for all of the comments and suggestions! LouisK: Yea, i created the hair cards from extruding from one of the edge loops. I double checked to make sure the normal and diffuse values matched the each other but ill double check. and here is the topology, diffuse and normal as flats. Selaznog: I'll push… -
Re: Anyone use Cinema 4d?
yup. make the hyper nurbs a parent of your poly object. Parent objects (modifiers) apply their modifications down to all their children. Many deformers and other modeling tools in C4D operate by that principle. Just make a new deformer and drop all the objects required onto them to turn them into children. For polygons… -
Re: Basement hall [WIP]
Cheap & fun: Replace the tiling walls with some modular meshes (assuming they aren't. Even better if they already are). Now take some random bricks and give them actual geometry, bumping them outward a bit. Bonus points if you do this in and around where your pipes are resting on the wall. The extruded geometry will cast… -
Re: Ornaments and Reliefs in Zbrush help
Don't have a tutorial for you I fear. But think of it like this, your alpha is essentially a height map. The brighter, the further it's inflated/extruded, and being completely black it won't affect it at all, unless you change some of the settings of course. So, if you have one that's only completely hard black and white,… -
Re: Baking hair & fur from max using Projection
It's a little more complicated I guess and I don't use xgen unfortunately. The user draws course data with a custom curve tool, I then split and jitter the curve so one curve becomes 4 unique curves. Curves are then extruded with a random radius whose min and max are defined by the user. Then I color the strands with a… -
Re: Medieval Street
It feels very plain right now. Your geometry is all based on standard shapes as opposed to anything that truly feel like it is modeled. I see what looks like a bunch of cubes and extrudes. For it being a medieval street it is also very clean with such little wear and tear. Also, the textures look like they were taken from… -
Re: 3D Coat, Topogun, Wrapit - Dare to compare?
i find topogun's surface snapping to be the best out of all of the mentioned programs, and the interface is something you will be at home with when compared to conventional 3d packages like max/maya. it is unfortunately lacking some of the newer fancy tools and some things like extruding edges or sliding edge loops arent…
