IDK if this is the right section to post this, my bad if not, there's so many sections it was kinda confusing. XD; Hello very talented peoples! I am not a game-maker myself, I normally just write stories, but I've had an idea for a possible farm-type game that has been bugging me for a while. I figure there must be a…
I was going for an old dried blood look on the weapon, though I don't think it was very successful. Thanks for input on that. You know what's odd about the scabbard engravings is that they are normal mapped, they just show up flat on the render. In Maya Viewport 2.0 preview you can see the bump showing, but it's so shallow…
I have a 69 year old mother in Hospice right now dying of cancer and she may be gone in the next few days....In addition, i am in the middle of my masters in art pursuing illustration and translation into 3d, that said, I've learned more about life since her diagnosis 10 months ago than in the 46 years I have been alive.…
It has a lot less red in the post process to begin with, but i also gave the texture a desaturated and slightly blue gradient going down the legs. You'll notice if you look from top and down along a leg that it now goes from brown to grayer brown to black/blue. Where the old one was just solid rust the whole way down. I'm…
> Nearly two weeks ago, my parents and I went through the process of moving to a new house in south Jersey, about a 90 minute drive south from our old place. Over the month prior to the move, we would pack things into boxes and wrap things in plastic, and the house would gradually empty as more cardboard boxes would be…
As much as its claimed AI is one click solution for 3D Modelling and into game engine or for "background" assets its ok, the more I am finding it to be total wishy washy. At best its for 3D printing or like photogrammetry scan gone wrong. I am all for moving with tech however I wont lie that its a bit too much when I see…
Both of these software seems to have a decent set of features for aligning objects together and placing objects on other objects. But what are both similarities and differences between them ? I dont use aligning too much so I recently went in more depth and test some out and I was not little surprised to see Maya can not…
Thanks for tips. Since I started working in 3D I've neglected my 2D art and gotten rusty. I also havent had much practice with animals. I've never heard of using brackets, is that similar to height in heads approach? Also just to let you know the crow is a she. I didnt want to draw attention to her gender. Its sadly a…
Hey guys, I was using another thread to show this scene but it started to get a little too big. I'll be using this first post to hold my latest images, and leaving the old ones in my photobucket account if you're interested. I've recently started a new job so I've had less time to work on this than I'd have liked. I've…
I suppose we all have different experiences and standards of what's good. If you want to use it for textures then i'd stay away from plain pocket cameras, you don't need an SLR but you do want good beefy lens. I've had several cameras from different brands over the years and i've used other peoples pocket cameras and…
