How to take my Character further (with images!)
Hi there, I'm posting this because I feel I have hit a brick wall in my workflow and am not sure where to go next. I also could use a few questions answered about things in zBrush and such. I've been procrastinating with this character for too long now, being too proud to reach out and ask for a bit of help; so now I'm… -

Re: [WIP] Princess Knight

Re: Cylindrical crap topology help
either way might work but should probably get the model in your rendering engine with some basic textures, that way you can see what effect those changes would have on the final product. For example if you have one less edgeloop to hold the shape of the cylinder it might look bad once you have real lighting applied. Or… -
Re: Can you please tell me how to draw light and shadow effect on a complex shaped metal object?
To understand why metals are lit the way they are, you should understand commercial photography.

I've always had a strong passion for gaming, and ever since I almost got hired on at TimeGate (RIP) to work on Section 8 back… -
Re: 3dsmax DataChannel Render/Bake to Texture
Curvature is a one-dimensional gradient and the display colors seem to be literally just that (including the normalize checkbox). You'll have to reconstruct the colors e.g. with a gradient ramp.

Spectral color and perception
Feel free to add to this. I'd like to spread some awareness of the spectral properties of light because I think it'd help artists (and anyone who deals with lighting and materials really) to be aware of. I'm not an expert so please correct me if there's anything wrong or unclear, but hopefully you'll find this crashcourse… -
Retopo - Should Poles be avoided completely?
Hi Like the question asks - should they be avoided completely or are they fine in some situations? In my example, I've added one on the surface of a mech's leg, though it's not an area that should be affected negatively when deforming. Thanks -
Re: Texture Merge Help!
You can automate mask rendering in substance designer for example, then use photoshop script to batch combine all textures from a folder into single texture, merge and bleed it. Unfortunately I can't give you exact steps, so if time spent on research and automation is worth it depends on how many textures you need to…
