Re: Learning modern texturing from scratch?
Also you will need a solid understanding of theory and practice behind PBR and Normal map baking. Here's some links that I find quite useful. --------------------------------PBR----------------------------------------- Allegorithmic’s PBR Guide Part 1-2 — a good place to start reading on PBR, has almost everything you need… -
Re: Why Bump maps are 8 bit only?

Re: Wavy shading on normal maps when changing roughness value
@dasilvardas It's definitely better to export your normals using a 16 bit TIFF image at first. Once you're done texturing in substance you can export your normals to TGA or whichever format your engine uses. As far as smoothing groups are concerned, if you have a synchronized workflow, (meaning the normal tangent space is… -
Re: Crystel's Chimeras
Hey guys- I wanted to share the second "chimera" in my lineup! The gargoyle. I approached this one differently, working with level 52 studios instead of ownage on it. They're offering me the chance to pay up front for the 3dprint/ cut and key/ mold and then pay per cast, so I'll be able to offer this one without the… -
Re: Candy Land Archer
Great concept choice! Really liking the face so far. Watch the stature/rhythm of the character, the legs are looking a little stiff, and the character is a bit hunched. I just can't shake the feeling that the neck should be a bit more like this in the way it attaches: EDIT: In fact, confirmation on that, you can see that… -
Re: Bake normals from mid-poly model with a normal map.
Eric, sure I am using someone else's model, there is a tone of free high-quality models online these days, being a terible artist I have no other choise left but to use them, to the best of my ability. If you are so concerned about the copyright, you can go to the page I took the model from and see for yourself if I broke… -

Re: An aspiring character artist looking to improve.
Your pose doesn't have any weight to it. Check out these links for how the body position flows with gravity. http://polycount.com/discussion/148062/how-do-you-create-non-stiff-character-sculpting/p1 https://www.pinterest.com/cocoacanoe/character-balance-action-lines/ -
Re: Nepal Building
Looks ok, but the crazybump normals and photo sourced textures are really not doing much for you. Almost every spot on the model where one material meets another looks really bad. You really should be modeling and sculpting a high poly version of the model to create the detail you need for the low poly version. Simply… -
Re: Environment prop - Obelisk Prop - WIP
I had some feedback from another artist, and didn't want to leave the problems without fixing them: 1. the bricks on the rim were not realistically placed (fixed hp, rebaked) 2. most of the model wasn't optimized (retopologised, reduced vert count by 50-70%) here is the end result. I can imagine having small props to dress…
