IMHO I would rather start by enquiring with the shop if they can even process polygon models at all ; because if they can't then the time spent sculpting in Zbrush would be wasted. But if they can, then you could get some example files from them to see how they set them up : do they need a thin surface, or a thick slab,…
Thanks pior for the nice idea . it's a bit more straight forward over that bezier curves approach i do but requires more precise vertex placement. Even in your example the upper one is not perfectly straight having some points off . I sometimes need to straighten big chunk of a racing track Ariel image from a drone to map…
Project Goldeneye Team are looking to expand their modeling department with some fresh blood . we are lookign for 2X Weapon Modelers. If your interested you need to have 3D Studio Max (version 5 or above preferred) and ActorX knowlege(preferred but not required) You would be creating the first person weapon models for the…
I saw a post from one of the devs saying it does use actual machine learning AI, but it strikes me as odd that so many guides are needed if that’s the case. Maybe it’s needed to cut down processing so the AI can be run locally on your machine. Either way, that example clip isn’t great. It doesn’t look much different from…
We have some good examples on our wiki. Drill down here into the sub-pages like LimbTopology and ShoulderTopology http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Topology For example:
An example is repeating tilable road 2kx2k material set with narrow 64x2k painted lines and 512x4k road edges and a second layer of alternating dirt road 1kx4k. But when it came to crossroad or branching it's unique cut also non-square mostly that needs to blend into tilable materials well . All this having 512x2k tillable…
As Till mentioned: there's other factors that are causing problems with the last two cubes in the example image. These could be mismatched tangent spaces, flipped triangulation, strong horizon occlusion or some combination of issues. The first two cubes in the example image are sufficient to illustrate the point. The last…
I do not understand what I am looking at here. Did you model that color render of that Panzer model? Or are you simply using it for reference. It is so completely different to your low poly. And that model itself is loaded to inaccuracies and you SHOULD NOT be using that for reference. Until you answer this I am only going…
Hey everyone, I’ve started working on a new practice prop. Its a chemical/paint waste disposal bin. I found this one and thought it would be a great study piece because it has a lot of subtle form changes, surface damage, and material storytelling. My goal with this project is to: * Keep as much real-world detail as…
Hello, unfortunately I can’t show the current project. I will probably create a new scene when I have some free time and show it instead, since I’m not able to share the current one. Video reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5fTnIBziXc The issue with my scene is that I can’t achieve the same sense of volume as the…
