Re: Prometheus Tribute - University Project
Texturing it's the easy bit, I'm currently doing the boring part which is UVing, and while I can do it without external programs, I do use Roadkill just because of how much it increases the speed of the workflow. The scene's currently 12 modular pieces to go into UE4, and within Maya I can rearrange the pieces of the shelf… -
Re: How to Train your Dragon - Arena Spectacular. My Latest Project.
Thanks guys. That's not me, though I do appear briefly in one of the videos doing the rounds. The tour is starting in Melbourne. I assume it'll do the capital cities after that and then head to New Zealand. I don't think it's been announced where it'll go after that. We've got 24 animatronic dragons. Not sure I can say… -
Re: Creating and modifying planes from splines [3ds Max]
I know this thread is a couple of days old, but after a lot of fiddling around I found what I think is the best solution for what I was trying to do and it may help someone: What I did was to constraint a plane to a beizer spline as a lot of people do, but instead of modifying it using Edit Poly (which breaks the UV if you… -
Re: Character Art test
To me it sounds like that studio doesn't understand how long these tasks are supposed to take lol. I take it you didn't get in but from the sound of it, that might be a good thing. A realistic character from scratch can take anywhere from 3 weeks to 3 months depending on the fidelity. 5 days with no concept is an absolute… -
Re: Has any one used PTex for their art pipeline? (INo UV creation required)
Well, as a tool within asset creation it is indeed fantastic. For instance you can very easily sculpt a rough shape in mudbox, and use ptex to apply a first texturing pass without having to prepare UVs or go back to level0 to unwrap. I dont think that automatic UVs creation will ever be a reality for realtime use tho,… -
Re: Is automatic 3D sofware anything to worry about?
Taken the time creating a piece of work these day's, at least high quality work, some automation will probably give room for more creative freedom and less constraints on the technical aspects of the job. I think that part of it is a good direction. But if it would take over for the individual learning curve of pulling… -
Re: fritz' ? of the day: painting out normal map seams
1) Clone the polygons touching the seam. 2) Re UV the polygons that you've cloned onto a map thats larger than the original. 3) apply a push mod of 0.1 to the cloned faces. 4) render to texture (diffuse) and throw that in photoshop. 5) you'll see your seam in the rendered texture just paint it out with a clone brush. 6)… -
Re: Racer445's Awesome new tut out now!
Hey racer, I watched it, few questions/remarks: you say you use "Span" a lot, did I hear that correctly? I get the impression it's something related to moving edges? I have no clue where that exactly is, mind elaborating? Would this be some sort of replacement for Edge constraint mode? Because I never see you use that and… -
Re: Achieving realism: Handpainting Vs. Photosourcing
IMO there is a fundamental misunderstanding occuring. What you are doing is creating a visual design. It an experience quantified in various ways (lines, color, planes, polys, masses, ect.) Its your job as an ARTIST to know how to put those visual languages together to capture a particular experience that either you or a… -
