Re: Tips to Improving as a 3D Game Artist
Planning is essential, for sure. we waste so much time in bits and pieces and it adds up FAST. Sit down, take some time, and get yourself a plan of action if you're serious about improvement. My arch nemesis as some know is the internet, for others it may be games, or something else. Set aside time to do that but make sure… -
Re: Omfg, Obama is President
1- Not true. Iraqi forces are taking the vast majority of the violence and looking more and more self-sufficient lately. Things are finally going according to the plan, actually, with just a couple of botched years to delay it. 2- We're not going to pull out completely, or quickly. The only logical reason to make it even… -
Re: [WIP] Glock 19
hey @sacboi thank you! About the new boolean in Blender, it basically works much better under problematic mesh conditions like coplanar faces and overlapping edges, it now has two modes, Fast and Exact, fast is just like it was in previous versions, works quite fast but if you have some problematic mesh you need to do some… -
Re: These boots were made for walkin'... (Animation thread! :P)
Update day! Been making a really fast (cartoony) run! :) Here's the run: [ame] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clgSA8HD18Q[/ame] Do you think it's too fast? Cause mostly I like it this fast. And then off the same run, I added a jump! : [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJR2O_oRK7A[/ame] Fairly simple jump, but I'm still… -
Re: Thinking of buying a new PC
Unless you have some really specific purpose for the old computer, I would re-purpose the parts. Buying everything new from scratch means you'll end up with a lesser build. That I5 is only about 60% as fast as a 4790 for example. You can always scrounge together some used/inexpensive parts later to put it back together. If… -
Re: [UE4] Modular Ruins Environment
@Shaz_Snow Thanks! I streamed that but its was two weeks ago and Twitch is removing vods after 14 days so its gone :( In short my workflow was following. I made low-poly models in max, exported those into ZBrush where I subdivided them and I used radical symmetry to sculpt those details. Last step was to use some flatten… -
Re: UE4 for Visualisation. Ideas and Processes
I agree with you, I have to dozens of renders a week and VRAY is simply a lot faster. However I tried to render a promo video last week and was told it would cost $5000 to render on a renderfarm. Unreal could do this for FREE. Most stuff is print presentation, but that will change over the next decade. The reason things… -
Re: Zbrush Polypaint for texturing
It's not too bad. For instance for my wife's head I had 5 duplicates at about 8 million each, plus one with hdgeo somewhere around 32 mill. It can slow things down a bit, but really it's not that bad performance wise. The big hit comes from all the textures you bake out. After awhile you have 40-50 4096 or 8192 maps… -
Re: 3Ds Max 2012 sneak peek
in my new 2600k @ 4ghz, 16gb + ati 5770, the new uv tool is unusable. I loaded a fucking model with ~3500 tris, and the thing is that i can't not work as fast as i should. a chunk of less than 1000 tris moves with a huge lag. I ended uninstalling that crap of software. And furthermore, i can't get the perfomance sathe gets… -
Re: FINISHED : Durga, Hindu Goddess
got the eyes done. i had been using somebody else texture so i just replaced that with my own. went with darker brown and made the iris more clear and distinct. just looks better i think. First pass on the eye lashes and eyebrows. Just focused on the shape and position. Seems like I'll need to get in there and place each…
