Issues with assigning materials
I have been following this tutorial from the Quixel wiki on Workflow Primer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyJJAp17K-Y And around 2 mins in I start having issues. When creating smart materials, they do not adhere to the selection processes for masking. For example, when I first added the Dirt Teal Metal it added it with… -
Re: Problem with viewport in 3ds max
Sorry, somehow I kinda missed the fact you're working off wonky photo ref. When you don't have nice orthographic images planes aren't actually that useful There are various camera matching solutions (there's a rudimentary example supplied with max iirc). Usually they rely on knowing something about the way the image was… -
Re: Looking for critique on my stylized material sculpting
I wasn't necessarily referring to the hammering (though pinching is a very good keyword) but that's probably my bad for not expressing it better. Basically, the lamp isn't one big chunk of metal, and while nicks and notches (like the one in your sword) and blunted bits might be found as well, it's much more likely to dent… -

In your example you pay with heavy distortions where the seams are -
Re: First post: I've completed these creature busts, I would like to hear your feedback on it
At first, it seems like it'd be best to do some clay bakes rather than final renders but from first glance it seems like they're good concepts but need some work before you go in detailing the busts. The textures seem to be placed as an afterthought - for example the little bit of damage/wear on the chest of the red bust… -
Re: Bake artifact - Help pls

With objects that have angles of various degree, I like to set the autosmooth to 180 degrees (all smooth) and then manually mark edges sharp where it's necessary. Due to the Auto Smooth angle in the "Object Data Properties" panel being greyed out in your image, I think the mesh might… -

This is looking cool so far with those bottles! We have some examples of face wireframes, in case that helps: http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/FaceTopology -
Re: Speeding up highpoly hard surface workflow
I imagine modo with rounded edge shader is far more useful but for now I'm making due with quad chamfer and it helps speed things up massively. There's a lot of different ways you can use the quad chamfer modifier. You can for example block out your shapes with it set to quad chamfer by smoothing group with a hardness of… -
Re: Please give me some critique on my Portfolio
Real talk time! 1. Widowmaker is decent enough but aren't a lot of interesting or impressive shapes on it so it doesn't leave too much of an impression. You've added some personalization to it, but the texturing still looks a bit boring. Try to add some more wear and grunge to it. Here's an example of a more interesting… -
Re: Froya's art looking for harsh critique
generally too dull. not dull as in boring. dull as in, it looks like it was coloured with pastel. needs some brighter area as areas of focus. could also bake in the shadows and the lights. for example, under the boobs and the butt. also. give a little more highlights to places where yo have segmented edges. this would be…
