Hi, I'd like to share this freelance opportunity with you guys. We are looking for a character artist who would be interested in making models, textures, and animations for a mobile AR Game. We can discuss specific details later on, for now I'd like to take a look at samples of your work and possibly get a quote per asset.…
Ambitious project! I'm looking forward to the progress. I see that you've added sidewalks in the streets, is there a worldbuilding reason for that? Cause I've never seen any in european medieval town. If you look at photos of Montpellier for example, which is where I'm from, the historical center has no sidewalks because…
That's really a shame because I think Ai could be very helpful . I am using Designer to generate cracks , dried streams etc but it takes days to lose that instantly blobs based procedural look there tweaking sliders . Would be so happy some ai would just generate something like a stream on a sand from a yesterdays rain…
I'd like to hear opinions on what I somehow noticed maybe not in every but many recent games as a trend. I mean not an exactly same "uncanny valley " people discussed decade ago about Beowoolf and Polar express and imo related mostly to animation but rather more subtle, more general thing a picture get after crossing…
you can mask by UV position - just mess with the texcoords (eg. clamp them - theres better options but I'd need to have the editor open in front of me to do it) and use the result as a mask for a lerp (don't use switches/branching, its very bad for gpus) edit: knocked an example up in designer instead. this will give you a…
Yeah there's the sculpting tool and also another one that is part of the poly modelling toolset. In Maya it's called the Edit Mesh : Average Vertices tool. Yeah that's what I was thinking: manipulate the shading after you are happy with the geometry as such but perhaps still need to get rid of little visual glitches. I can…
I mention bevel shader in my breakdown and since there is this excellent technical article about it I thought I'd link it here as well. Might be handy for people who are not familiar with it but want to see the pros and cons and how it works. :) Small side note, bevel shader is not something "new", it has been around for…
I'm very fearful. I try to make posts that don't offend people or stir up backlash in some way. This is why I kept the OP short and discrete. You're right, that there's more to color and there are other cartoons as well. But what if someone waltzed in here and blasted me because "I didn't pick enough cartoons from a…
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…
Zbrush has a unusual 3d context. It's not displaying polygons like any other program. So it complains because of that. The problem with any polygon that isn't a tri is that you have to convert to a triangle to display it. This doesn't matter if the polygon is planar but if you have a non-planar polygon it can have several…
