There's a spline option in the unwrap. you need to generate a new spline from your mesh though. Maybe with the pelt ? textools has some useful tools too http://www.renderhjs.net/textools/ Now the dirty way i do it quickly : planar mapping select one uv edge loop break relax select one horizontal uv egde, ring+loop, align…
Hipoly done, lowpoly done, UVs in progress I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. In the past I always favored relaxed UVs over straightness but since I'm going to lay modified pictures on this I assumed I want it to be straight. (or not?) So I did a cylindrical map on most of the shapes and didn't unwrap further to not lose…
Unwrella can only do so much with the seams(UV islands) that you pre cut as guides. There is a setting called stretching I think. With the default setting Unwrella only allows so much stretching before it cuts the model further for you to avoid it. You can tell it allow more stretching to the point that it simply doesn't…
I think you may be making this more complicated than it needs to be by using NURBS and lofting and all that. Personally I would just simply box model out the junction shape like this. Then to quickly get it to resemble what you already have you could subdivide it a few times, smooth the geometry with either a relax or…
Just two things I thougt about. First one, the elbow and hand gems (well with the point of view you give us) are put in a similar way and I think it could be better just not to have this kind of same triangle of gems for both. Second, I was thinking about the pose and I think his left hand looks a little bit too relaxed…
@lotet Thanks man! You're absolutely right, I need to refine the poses so they feel more natural. I feel like I always struggle getting something that feels relaxed and realistic D: I'll look at the hat shadow/ao thing as well. For now though, I finished the low poly and bakes for the ruin set-piece. Next up, adding some…
I didnt say older people that play games dont exist... Theyre less common than finding people under 25 that play games. I understand its very prominent but im not speaking against that lol Go through a mall and ask everyone under 25 if they play call of duty, and then ask everyone who looks older than 25. Unless they have…
Of course, I'm still working on it :p Since I don't have a deadline I'll spend all the hours it needs to match the image in my head. So far I got her face quite right as I imagined my character (: Tomorrow I'll make the base hair and will start with the body. I'm making tons of changes for almost every single feature, so…
Update on this project I'm done with the Armchair, for now, really happy with how it has turned out. I've moved onto a hopefully a more steampunk style workbench that I've been playing around designing my own concept for. Also thought it might be interesting to post what the concept of the diorama is. I've gone for this…
Im Alive! Its been awhile since my last update but been busy with work and have just been relaxing when i come home. I want to get this model done so i can move on to another model that I started up a few days ago, but I need to start getting stuff done so im gonna finish this off :P Just a few small tweaks to the highpoly…
