The basics of creating pseudo volume textures in Substance Designer - Tutorial
I've been working with a lot of volumetric rendering related stuff recently, and sometimes it involves creating volumetric textures. The another method is to use procedural content in the volumetric renderer, at least in real time applications. So I've been exploring the ways of creating volumetric textures for different… -
Re: Typewriter lowpoly question
I think what is usually meant by that is polycount doesn't matter for rendering. Here it's not the polycount itself that I think will be a problem, but object's design. You can see everything through everything, can't just bake it to a box (like a fridge or old TV set for example). Most parts would need to be a separate… -
BRUTAL issue with getting my rig/animation into Marmoset 1.10...
Everything was going great until Marmoset 1.10 tore my rig and animation to pieces. I spent 2 days following this tutorial to rig my creature in Maya http://www.digitaltutors.com/tutorial/1371-Rigging-Quadrupeds-in-Maya He uses some kind of "flexi" rig system that relies on nurbs deformation and even a bit of n-hair I… -
Re: From my peers and the Internet Consumer side, I'm seeing happy and feverishly positive reactions...
That group has some of the saddest most insecure people I've seen on the internet. I mean if making this art gives them some ounce of confidence to get through the problems of systemic racism maybe its a good thing. But boy do they have some crazy misconceptions about art and artists in general. You can see the total lack… -
Motivation is Bull
I wrote this a while ago in response to a thread about feeling lack of motivation for projects. It seems to be pretty relevant again several months later, so I'm posting it as a standalone post/topic: One of the most common questions I see in art and design communities comes from beginning artists who want to know: How do… -
Re: Will 3D scans ever become the norm?
Eh? What's the point? The riggers and technical artists will be the one pesting against erronous topology, not the animator, which job is just to animate, as in to bring it to life. Here's what you didn't get. Let's look at both positions the same: Animators and Modelers. Modelers: Based on initial illustrations and… -
Re: Lighting and Shading a large scene in 3dsmax 2017 for Realtime viewing?
Ive never used Unreal before but if I was to use a game engine like it or Unity or something, that game engine would have to be able to edit UVs and have all the face cutting and editing as well as the scene is far from being game engine ready in those respects, and it would take far far too long to carefully make sure… -
Re: cant get perfect bakes on hardsurface
Hi, what are you showing in the first image, is that you lowpoly? First, I highly suggest reading through this stickied thread. In general, use soft/hard edges instead of average normals, set them to face and start over. You can run a Set Normal Angle to quickly set your smoothness, then manually tweak the rest as needed.… -

Re: Wet surfaces
nice scene. thoughts... -look for pics of wet similar textures that may be in your scene or close to it. -get lots of reference, but get photo reference, not just other cg examples. -you can have the sweetest textures but, since shiny, wet surfaces are driven by lighting and reflections of the environment and otherwise…
