Put her image behind your model, and adjust proprtions until they match. Your hands are pretty small for example. Take a close look at the groin in the Hippydrome examples, and compare with yours. A rectinlinear grid like yours is bad topo for deformation, and also bad for sculpting.
A mesh gets triangulated when imported into an engine anyhow. The reason why meshes are retopoed mostly in quads is that it is easier to edit them while working on them. But, there are parts of a mesh that just need a few tris and that is ok. The first example of your post uses elongated quads which as a rule you should…
Corpo-speak has been around for quite a while, LLMs only made it more accessible. So we see it everywhere now, accompanied by weird emoji listicles when it's a professional seeking work. It's text shaped in a way that should be more legible in principle but isn't in spirit because it's created by a hollow bot charging by…
Chat is wrong, kinda. Depends on your renderer, and what result you want. For example to get an opacity map, you'll need to not use BTT but setup a camera instead and render that way.
I want to commission some low poly greybox ancient and futuristic structures for a personal game project. I would like to know how much it would cost for a small structure, medium structure, and large structure. Small structures could be a small ruins or tower or bunker, medium could be a more complex ruins or a base with…
I just recently read* something about "late bloomers", and it specifically used artists as an example. Conventional wisdom has it that most great works are done in an artists early years, but the facts just don't hold that true. Cezanne was the one of the examples used. *Book was..What the Dog Saw, Malcolm Gladwell
You can overlap the edge pieces in UV space, like how Kio Works shows in this post. Another example of this method can be found here. http://polycount.com/discussion/144838/ue4-modular-building-set-breakdown/p1 And even more examples are here. http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Modular_environments
Although I certainly don't qualify as an "amazing polycount anatomy artist", I think I can share some useful input, so here it goes. For starters, are you using any specific reference for your poses? I think this is pretty critical for figurative work. You've definitely got your anatomy and proportions under control. But,…
Use reference and remember landmarks to more accurately create forms and find balanced proportions. Balance your perspective so your anatomy will looks accurate. Your proportions need to follow the basic rules of perspective for an angle like the one you're using. It frames the muscular composition. Green A & B are nice…
That is very common with telephoto zooms, just because it has a lot of reach doesn't actually mean it has a lot of range. Now, if you think of a common super-zoom lens like a 18-200mm lens, that has over 10x zoom. Actually, your sample photo is a pretty good example of what would commonly be considered poor bokeh.…
