Zbrush Edge Control; New method?
Hi there. As I've been working on a pistol project I've gotten some good feed back, And some question on edge on control in zbrush. After seeing such interest in it, I wanted to see what i could come up with. The biggest thing i came up with was creating a retopologization in all quads, Then creating fast edge loops with… -
Re: The Maya Cylinder Normal Map Problem
So what did you do to achieve the far right example? I see that the edges are jagged, but from the side you don't have wavy lines, which is what I'm after. All my examples / tests have the result of your middle cylinder. -
How to simulate old graphics?
Hey! Do you guys know what makes old graphics, old? Take a look at broodwar for example They are sprites made from 3d objects, but they have a unique look, maybe its the color limitation, maybe old render engines, what is it? Some more examples: -
Re: [WIP] SHIFT - Game Cinematic Trailer Project - Environment Artist Dev Log - Third-Year Uni Project
I would like to share our animatic done by our amazing concept artists Valen Kua and Nanxi Ong: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JXgxgZlwa0 Here are some shots that I assembled the character rigs and animation done by my teammates and I have also added in some basic lighting in Unreal Engine just for the feel and vibe.… -
Re: Getting a particle to stop
Not that hard, if I understand you correctly. Here's a super-simple example, max 8 format. Uses a UDynaFlect deflector, which lets you choose arbitrary geometry. Replace the particle system and you're good to go. http://www.ericchadwick.com/examples/files/particles_filling_a_box.zip -
Re: Looking for friendly advice on how to get the ball rolling
To add to what fabiG says. Modding is a brilliant way to get started. Something as simple as reskinning assets or building maps for a game you play is a really good introduction to how game development works and you get that dopamine hit from seeing your thing running around on screen pretty rapidly. Keeping scope small at… -
Re: Unreal shader resources?
I don't think that's an especially good example, i was just messing before going to bed ^^ You shouldn't look too much for complex examples and super large and impressive shading networks, some very basic effects can easily simulate a large range of materials :) -
HAIR!?
i saw some good hair examples from some of the entries in comicon challenge 2010, and the varga tut is a widely referenced method, but I think this topic needs exploring further by artist & engineers, or perhaps I just need more practice:) and another texture example I made with finer hairs -
Re: Zbrush character to animation general question
Make the meshes contiguous, as much as possible, this will reduce headaches later when binding the vertices to the bones (skinning). For example, take a look at how the shirt transitions to the pants, or the pants to the shoes. Street Cop by Mashru Mishu. More examples here http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/BodyTopology -
Re: Low poly base mesh, what are you priorities?
Put her image behind your model, and adjust proprtions until they match. Your hands are pretty small for example. Take a close look at the groin in the Hippydrome examples, and compare with yours. A rectinlinear grid like yours is bad topo for deformation, and also bad for sculpting.
