Re: Company wants written tech docs after making tech artists redundant
Is there a clause in their contract stating anything along these lines? If it's documentation relating to proprietary tech, then I'd imagine it'd be more complex due to ownership issues, though it would also be worth reading over their NDA as this might be covered by that as opposed to their contract. If they just want… -
Re: Cartoon charecter sculpting wip
Thank you for your feedback. No its okay, i am here to learn (regardless of how harsh). You have gone out your way to critique my work with honesty, i respect that. I am here to improve so please continue to critique. I have started from the beginning again and will full on learn anatomy. Above is the start of the… -
Re: World Machine tutorials?
I can't help you with tutorials but what i did is to open the examples and macros then analyzed and reverse engineered what they do. Going through the documentation step by step is also helpful. If you're familiar with node based material editing in UDK or UE4 for example you will find thers a lot of similarities with what… -
Re: Zbrush - Export Render with transparent background?
Step 1 isn't necessary. You can use any background color. Using BPR to export a separate mask pass is the way you want to go though. It'll give you a nice anti-aliased result too. Your photoshop steps might be a little busier than necessary as well, if I'm reading it right (especially #7). It's really a quick process to… -
Re: EA: Fighting with your pocket book
In agreement with Mop and Daz. I love the EA game I own. Boycotting EA will only make life worse for the amazing artists behind those titles. What needs to be done, is being done. The gaming world is aware of EA management practices. Step by step changes are being made to improve work conditions for game artists. A domino… -
Re: Baking lighting-Normal mapped object (maya 6)
Thanks for all the tips. Scanning_factor...can you be more specific about the settings I need to use mental ray for baking? I got something out of it, but it has very harsh, angular shadows and has none of the lights' colours. On the side in shadow it seems to be using vertex normals, causing a very hard edged look.… -
Re: Zbrush 4r8 Issues?
@sunray unfortunately the old shift straight line function is gone. You now have to use lazymouse instead. But the good news is that it's WAY more powerful. Follow @floon steps above. I find setting the lazyradius to 5 is the perfect sweet spot. Plus if you store a morph target and set lazysnap to about 40 you can continue… -
Re: Sorta WIP Self Sculpture
Do not open Mudbox. Leave it alone. Find as many tutorials you can on the topic of lowpoly modeling, edge loops, and topology etc.. As kp has advised, slow down. You've thrown in many details, without adequate base shapes. When you've learned to model in low poly, begin sculpting. These are horrible, and I doubt the self… -
Re: Texturing a 3ds Max model in ZBrush
I think I'm doing something wrong in the ZBrush side of things then. That's what I did to export, but in ZBrush when I load up the texture which corresponds to the UV's, it's totally messed up in ZBrush. Looks like my model was auto-UV'd in ZBrush or something. My steps: Exporting object from 3ds Max, importing object in… -
Re: My first model PnP at Polycount :D [Water Tower]
Better, yes and no. One thing you will have to learn to do when making props such as this, is think in terms of human scale. How big should things be when compared to an average human. Heres a quick little image i made to show you what I mean. If that little white guy is 6 foot, than the scale of the ladder steps is fine,…
