Simulated texturing, particles and weathering?
I've unwrapped and textured a number of metallic, chipped, scarred and scratched surfaces as of late and I was wondering if any of you guys had thought about or knew of an automated solution to perform weathering on materials. This is purely hypothetical speculation, I'm not in desperate need of such a tool, but what do… -
HardSurface/NURBS in 2019
So Max has been my go-to modelling application for the last 10 years but things really seem to be slowing down on that front. I am seeing a lot of other applications ahead of the curve in terms of tools and responsiveness. Right now I want to model some more complex geo such as vehicles and buildings which have insets on… -
{Maya}normal-map and an AO-question
As far as I can see subd-surfaces are the way to go when it comes to hard-surface-modeling. But I am wondering how you can get the normal-information extracted. The "transfer maps"-tool accepts polygons only which means I have to smooth objects till I have an incredible high amount of faces to get a smooth result. To get… -
3D Artist / Props / Weapon artist looking for a work (available to relocate since July)
I am 3d artist with 15 years+ of experience. Currently available for any freelance work - primarily looking for hard surface/ prop work but open for any opportunity. (available to relocate since July) For last few years I have been mainly focused on hard surface works but I'm not limited to do only this kind of work, I can… -

Re: Sci fi moody girl
Hey, neat progress! I think your lighting is making the character hard to see. The glowing background stands out too much I think. Instead, try giving it a three point light set up, with a warm orange, cold blue light and some kind of fill light. I suggest this because that's the set up I had for a sci-fi character I made.… -
Re: Need Texture Help!
Good start! - Bit too monochrome (especially the pipe) add some more soft colour variation in there with a low opacity layer in your PSD - The undersurface on the pipe is too similar to the pipe texture. Would be something else. More worn down. Needs more transition from pipe to under surface. - occlusion (black lines) are… -
Re: Mi-24D Hind (WIP) Progress Diary
While from some views it might look okay, from others it wont, (the black arrows in this img show the dented area, the surface seems like it was damaged) and that's due to a couple of factors: 1) the black arrows point at triangles, triangles can really mess the surface while subdividing, avoid them at all cost. The read… -
Re: Joshs super fantastic improvement thread
Not too bad man! For your highpolies I would study what makes others work stand and and more interesting. Bevels, Chamfers, nice rolling flowing hard surfaces are sexy as hell. Your knife for example is very planar where as the concept had some nice round curves on the handle. The more you can change surface direction and… -
Re: How do you make chain mail in Zbrush?
Surface Noise: http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?161159-ZBrush-4R2-Betatesting-By-Geert-Melis (the alpha he created can be found here) This particular method (alpha/surface noise) is good for chainmail that is tucked underneath plate and cloth, where you don't necessarily see the ends. Otherwise, you might need…
