Re: Substance Share is here!
I love the idea of this, I just don't understand the intricacies and implications of the licensing. For example, if I use the substances in unity for a game, do I have to credit each individual author somewhere? If I use (smart) materials in substance painter do I have to credit the authors wherever I show and or use the… -
Re: M82a1 Sniper rifle
Is there a reason everything is on a 90 degree angle or straight? The beauty of a UV map is you can rotate your islands by any degree, which allows you to fit a lot in. Don't use max's auto padding feature, just go by hand. For example, theres so many tiny pieces there, which begs the question why, when I would keep it in… -
Re: Stlylized Character
What Pigart Said. Do not go up too early. This is not the best example, but should get the point across. The left tool is too high of a subdivision to build forms in. But the right one is way better to work with if you just want to get the forms down. It might even be too highpoly. So to wrap it up. Do not subdivide unless… -
Re: Realistic bust, looking for feedback
The basemesh is a 3D scan import, as you can see at the wireframe it's really messy and difficult to get for example the eyes really smooth. I can't show you the base mesh because it's property of the 3D scanning company but it's similar to the example tools in ZBRush and then I refined it. It's an exercise to find my way… -
Re: Does low tris affect the models texture?
In the case of your image? Absolutely not. A lot of time when dealing with cylindrical objects though, having some extra loops helps. Here is an example of something I did a while back: Here, you can see that I made the carousel by making one section of it, then copying it and bending it into a round shape. Since it was… -
Re: The value of money and games
Value is such a subjective thing, I don't think there's really a right answer. A good current example is Tony Hawks HD on PSN for 15 bucks. I know so many people who have said it's such a rip off because it only has 7 levels and they're the same levels as you can get playing the original and there's no park editor, blah… -
Re: [Portfolio] - MikeCox, Environment/Prop Artist
Hi Mike I'm surprised to find this thread on page three without any comment. Your portfolio is far better than many ones i've seen. So here are my 2 cents. I find the presentation quite clear and easy to navigate. I'm not a great fan of lightbox but if you use it, it would be nice to be able to jump from one image to the… -
Re: Copyrighted/Trademarked content in assets sold in 3D marketplaces
Because companies don't care enough or they're unaware, really. Some of them might even appreciate the brand recognition, though that'll be a minority. For example, the people at Spalding might not be aware of such sites. Sure they have (perhaps) some deals with E.A. about branding, but the people there working at… -
Re: ZBrush Tiling Sculpts
Yup, wrap mode has a performance penalty, especially when set to 2. Basically don't use the method in the video where it says to use wrap mode set to 2. I actually made a short tutorial myself a few weeks ago to help someone out and what I call "wrap mode bounds" in the video is actually zbrush unified space. Basically the… -
Re: Of seams and shading artifacts/My brain is splitting at the seams
Right — now that I look closer at your images I can tell the problem you're having here is known as "zooming in too much". Normal maps are limited in what they can do; at extremely close limits you can see that a sharp edge is in fact a sharp edge. If it's too much of a problem, you add more geo (bevel the edge). This is…
