For basic sculpted detail in your example, a simple rectangle shape is needed. General guides not hard rules. * Only add extra edges / tris when you have form change or want to keep the curvature of surface smooth to match with high poly curvature. As you have noticed too many small tris by pro artists, those usually are…
Hi! Its looking better, really nice progress!. I think your fog is way too intense, its drowning out a lot of your details here. Its hard to find the right balance but I would say keep messing around with it, you want it to add to the overall composition of your environment, right now its taking away from what I thin is…
xvampire, I copied your xnormal example which created the following example. It caused my gloss map to go from blue to green. This leads me to believe the settings in your example are not the ones that are going to work for me? My previous cavity was white/black and that resulted in blue gloss. So, I adjusted brightness…
Hey there, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but as a first timer I'll start here. Sorry if this is the wrong place. I'm just getting started with 3D modeling (I've been playing around with 3DS Max and running tutorials through Digital Tutor) but before I go too far into it I wanted advice on the best…
Sure. But some focal points are very hard to rescue, if they are not interesting to begin with. If you pick an uninteresting subject people are not going to be interested when they look at your images. The same way it's hard to tell a compelling story about a boring event. Here are 2 examples of a pool shot from Wes…
Hello everyone! I created an extensive brush pack for Zbrush and other sculpting applications for creating realistic looking terrains. You can get the Brush Pack on Gumroad https://gum.co/URzUY Here are two examples of terrains created in under 5 minutes There are three types of brushes: Peaks which will add to the terrain…
There is a fine line between a healthy concept of self respect/confidence and pride. I think the line seems more blured for artists, especially those who make a living off their work. <u>Definitions:</u> This should start us off: Confidence Respect Pride <u>My 2 cents</u> -I think many of us can spot people with…
Hi! By overlap, I meant one part (for example jacket) having UVs overlap with itself due to the generative modifiers (mirror, solidify) - not UVs of different character-parts overlapping (jacket and pants for example). Here is a quick walkthrough how I checked with the jacket: 1 - UV Sync Selection is enabled in UV editor,…
Would love to see a more interesting shape on the big tree. The roots are nice, but floating. The main trunk is very straight, could be nice to make it a spiral or some other interesting shape, that complements the half-circle stage. For example, an old Juniper in Moab by Douglas Miller:
Looks really cool, I like your lighting and use of color. One thing I think stood out to me is the graffiti, in real life i dont think there would one be one super massive perfect graffiti on one wall, maybe add some smaller tags around the other walls to make it look like many people have been to this place over time.…
