Re: Possible to combine different projection types and mask from alpha?
You lost me there. When is the Tri-Planar projection done ? If you do the projection before feeding it to the filter/substance, then you won't be able to tile it. No magic here, we feed flatened texture to the layers that ask them, we can't do otherwise. No yet, we have plans to add that to Anchors later. Right now you… -
Re: Is the way game artists texture bad?
Good points, Ive found that over time Im developing more of an artistic eye for things. Now that Ive got a couple of years experience with 3D Im able to spot what Im doing wrong more often. I dont think there is some magical rule of thumb that represents good art practice and we can all just implement it without any… -
Re: Healthcare...
Have you ever in your life picked up a book on, in any form, political science or economics? I don't claim to be some kind of educated authority on the subject but the utter lack of a whatsoever developed standpoint by pretty much anyone but ben here is appalling. The fact that i don't believe america can magic up UHC in a… -
Re: Nightshade Blockout v1.0 - Tool for creating blockout/selection maps in Maya
ZippZopp: I´m not sure I´m following. But I´ll try and cover all bases: A mesh can have several colors ofc, but if any shells are stacked on-top of each other then the baked result will not be blended (instead, the last color rendered is the one which will be on top). As for the magic wand -feature: colors will be… -
Re: UVing after using Zbrush
After I finish doing all of my stuff in zBrush, I'll decimate the mesh to about the LOD (level of detail) that I want. This will be the LP (low poly) version. I'll bring the LP into Maya and within Maya I'll UV unwrap it correctly. Once that's done, bring in the HP (high poly) version into Maya and place them both on the… -
Re: How do you get motivated/inspired?
You have to be your own motivation, in my experience. Also, the awesome art of Polycount sure helps with that too! It's hard not getting overwhelmed with all of the stuff one wishes to learn, so just focus on a small asset/tiny scene that you would have tons of interest in doing. Even if it is fan art for your favorite… -
Re: Cyberpunk-ish Girl
Hi Chris, In your final render it looks like her left hand is clipping into her pants pocket, Perhaps do a little photoshop magic if that is the case? Also I could be wrong but I just wanted to chime in because I hate to see tiny things like that take away from such cool pieces. We tend to look at our work/projects so much… -
Re: [Riot Art Contest] - Ari Flesch
Reply by Animator_Ari · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Art Contest› Riot Art Contest - AnimationI decided to go with a fire mage for my character. Someone who uses fire magic, but also has physical capabilities. Chose the new Mery rig. She's free online and very appealing. My idea for the ultimate is that she has a long cast time which results in her breathing fire and dealing a large aoe damage nuke. High risk, high… -
Re: UP!!!
Yeah I'm with aesir on this one. Character change for the win! Even so, I was disappointed. I even think cars was better. most Pixar films are extremely concise and have deep, well expressed stories. this story was a tad watered down.. the theme wasn't as deeply expressed or as complex as their other films, and it had… -
Re: Cool Face Anatomy Reference
nitewalker- do it the way that suits you. experiment and see what works best. Often with organic stuff there is no magic bullet. Using a grid would be fine. I take my side views in pshop and try and line them up best I can, but just tracing a side and front view will not guarantee great results. I tend to glean a lot of…
