Re: Shakiness in Maya Animation
Hi! Tbh I'm not sure how okidoki's example can help add noise to animation curves, I mean with some technical knowledge you could hack together some kind of node network that would grab a position of a point from a noise texture and use it to drive a position of a controller on an animation curve, but I shudder to think… -
Re: Stuck on a very basic modeling problem - resolving complex poles
@Alex_J thank you very much for your explanation. Your answer helped me identify the issue with the phong shading happening with Cinema 4D yesterday. I'm beginning to see the importance of using real-world examples to practice on. @frankpolygon thank you for the welcome to the forums! My apologies for having posted in the… -
Re: shoulders from japan.
Holy Moly!: It's like xmas :) Nice of him to expose himself to radiation fer the sake of art/science research! ( example pics of radiation death from the early days of retail shoe sale flouroscopy machines are pretty gruesome ! ) If u were going in for surgery anyway however... someone should create a:… -
Triangle focused head topology?
Ok so I'm currently working on something that requires me to figure out a face topology and pretty much stick to it, and the end result will be triangulated. I always see head topology based on quad edge flow, but what about for triangulated meshes? When you triangulate an even quad mesh you have uneven triangles, new… -
Re: wagon wheel
[ QUOTE ] An old trick is to use alpha planes for the profile. Could work for you. I'll try to dig up an example. Ah OK, here it is, a 10.7 MB pdf: http://www.ericchadwick.com/examples/tutorials/low_polygon_technique_for_next_generation_systems.pdf Saved this awhile back, don't know where I got it from. Anyone know Jolyon… -
Re: CAHDD™ (Computer Aided Human Designed & Developed) — voluntary workflow transparency + watermark too
I guess I were to make a counterproposal regarding a watermark or icon, it would be along the lines of "how much of that image did I actively create". It would not replace a proper written breakdown of contributions, just serve as a rough first indicator. It would cover a lot of cases, like collaborations, bought assets… -
Re: Help with molded plastic shapes/transitions (weapon modeling)
@Boosted24v Not a problem, you're welcome. You're definitely on the right track. it's just about finding a process that works well with your available tool set and getting those fine details down. There's many different ways to approach creating the base mesh. Some artists prefer non-destructive workflows and others are… -
Re: The wonders of technical art (Unreal Engine)
I would like to share something with you guys, that I discovered some time ago, but I didn't have nice use cases to show it off. Now in the ray marcher, it saves me a lot of time, and simplifies and shortens the hlsl code that I actually need to write. Hopefully it will be useful for someone else too. It is about adding… -
Re: Baking issues, before and after baking normal map
Hi! By now you probably put your plan into action. When you're generally happy with the shading achieved by the modifier, you could apply it as a starting point. Personally, I define sharp edges while checking the mesh shading, placing UV seams at the same time (unwrapping in Blender). I had another look at the model, so… -
Re: Environment artist - Intro & Portfolio critique,
Just a quick portfolio review of your artstation - I like your colours, and I like your moods. I like your ability to previsualize a very, very early mood sketch. But if you want more work in the games industry as a concept artist, then I'd like to see more specific examples of 'designing' self contained assets. Right now…
