Thank you Eric I haven’t set a specific triangle budget since this is just a personal project and I’m still learning. The piece will be fairly close to the camera, so I’d like it to look good while keeping the poly count as low as possible. As for animation, yes — I’d like it to have a bit of movement to make it feel more…
Some friends asked me to write a tutorial for my fur technique. Figured I'd post it here. Hope you like! In this tutorial, I'll teach you to make nifty fur tiles for use in texturing your models. You will see how having full control of the look and flow of your fur without painting can be incredibly useful, and how you can…
@pior @musashidan I'm back from visiting family out of town. so... Thanks again! You guys are right. I'll follow prior's suggestion and make a basic model, perhaps stylized, and work towards animating it and setting it up for unity. I would like for it to be third person, I'll leave the mouth-bag part out and just keep it…
I was similarly excited when I discovered the potential of the Crease tool but after messing with it I was only met with general disappointment. I don't think creasing can get you the look of your loop-supported model; there are differences between how edges average with supporting loops and how creased edges behave.…
Thanks for all the speedy and informative posts guys. I haven't started animating yet, I'm still skinning, but I wanted to figure out this problem now in case I experience it in my biped. I am working on other projects at the moment and haven't gotten to test all the suggestions but when I do I'll return and let you know…
(Planning For Success) Pretty sure that basically everybody has trouble finishing projects. Hell, I have about four projects right now that I'm completely ignoring. That said, I'm still able to finish things if I decide to focus on them. Here's what I do if I want to start a project, maintain the energy to see it through,…
Right after college I started working a desk job doing package tracing for an international shipping company, off topic, but always fill out the entire form damn it. Back to topic. Decided I was a fat load of s- and started doing research. After 2 months of busting my ass I dropped 100~ pounds and 20% body fat, at the…
Dear people of Internetland, I have a folder on my computer with the intruiging name of "To sort before I die". While I'm sure some would see that as proof of my procrastinating nature, I like to look at it and think "So far, so good!" and everytime I actually go in there and sort something out, I think "Good job" to…
These are the blockout core cmponents. These are to be single meshes, barring the platform extensions, which have been reworked into modular pieces. The trim sheet's changed a little bit. Tiling the house components wasn't working as well as I'd hoped, so they've become their own square sheet. With the house components and…
