3ds Max to Blender Nit-Picks
Hey guys, As someone who has transitioned into using Blender full time both professionally and for personal work. I have a few nit-picks that I'd like to share and see if anyone can offer some insight as to how to approach them effectively. When switching between selections (Vertex, edge, polygon), they aren't remembered… -
Re: Looking for critique (completed asset)
Hi! My main critique with the mesh is that some curved elements are low resolution (main tank, wheels) compared to others (chimney, pistons), resulting in a visibly facetted silhouette. I think the overall shading looks a tad too soft in places and shows some gradients. If you plan to rely on mesh-shading opposed to a… -
Re: Robot: WIP Need Texture help
Your texture has definitely improved from the first version. Details in the textures are important, but so are where you place those details. Right, it looks like the metal paint has worn off on his upper thigh. Objects usually wear off at their edges - ie: pant cuffs, cup lips. How often does a saucer get chipped in the… -
Re: Elven Cottage
Thank you Eric! That is genuinely so kind of you to take time out of your day to help improve a random stranger's work. Did you mean add edge loops to the scroll length-wise or rather ones to the spiral of the scroll so it doesn't have as many sharp edges? I hear you about the bricks and kind of agree, just needed to hear… -
Re: Chernobyl Window, searching for things to improve
Well, I had not too exhaustive reference. Nonetheless I tried to follow a logic in placing the different textures. I tried to arrange the wear in a way that would logically follow the water flow, with a usual weather direction from south east (relative to the window). The water runs down the vertical bar of the outer… -
Re: Yet even more hand painted textures...
here is my take on your texture. every artist will have a bit a flare based on their observation, cant teach you to paint, but i can try to show you what you are missing and need to see harder here are some principals you can look at, you may or may not know them, (im writing this in your thread but anyone here can read)… -
Re: [Maxscript] Making UV mapping suck a bit less.
Yeah, I understand that there are other ways to get this done and this does look like a waste of time and effort without context. What's spurred me into making this is the discrepancy in scale with the different methods. The environment I'm making for a game will end up with a large amount of brick and stone textures on… -
Re: CAHDD™ (Computer Aided Human Designed & Developed) — voluntary workflow transparency + watermark too
To be honest, my first impression is rather negative and leaves me slightly suspicious. As inevitable some of this might seem and while it might come from a good place, this kind of feels like an attempt to normalize AI for artists who might fully reject or boycott it otherwise (whether that's sustainable is a different… -
Re: Grenade
Its def. looking better imo. Now I would give it what I call a blob pass, where you add a slight random cloudyness to your textures. I have a cloud brush I use for this in photoshop, but you have to make it really subtle. This will make your textures look less flat. Also, did you really look at that link I sent you?… -
Re: Baking Normals Topic: Cages. Are they old news?
"And I got really good results in my bakes when I started using Cages throughout this tutorial." I hope I am not going to sound like a jerk here, but the first step for you to determine whether or not they are "old news" would be for you to investigate and understand why you suddenly got good results out of using them. And…
