Re: Do you prefer Video or Text tutorials?
Text. Easier to parse, faster to read, lets me go at my own pace. Video tutorials are never useful unless motion is important and if that motion cannot be conveyed by a series of pictures. Practical examples: I want to find out more about support loops for hard surface modeling. I'm not going to watch a 30-minute tutorial… -
Re: Benefits of modeling in Tris
The couch example is just to show the difference between triangulating and building the tris your self. Yes you can optimize that mesh even more but just for showing the difference. pior: No worries, I am discussing modeling in tris not really uv splits, shading split or material split. Optimizing the materials in a game… -
Re: Building modular buildings and houses questions
It's all context-dependent, something you learn best by doing. My advice is to try forcing yourself to stick to a lower resolution, and fix the problems you see. You will learn how to minimize repetitive features in a texture that is tiled. You will also learn how to leverage vertex blending and other techniques like… -
Making an air conditioner to be game ready prop
Hi, this doesn't have to be air conditioner it can be all kind of hard surface prop models, this is just as an example of course so lets stick with air conditioner. So, i would like to know what is the best way to approach game ready props modeling? how to start? 1. should i do subd modeling or just low poly then texture… -
Re: Edit parts of material in negative texture space?
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… -
Re: [WIP] Warhammer Old World - Altdorf
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… -
Re: How long do your 3D projects take to complete?
I have noticed that 3d takes a lot of time. For example, at the start of my 3d journey, I modeled Daewoo Tico in 100 hours: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/0ngAey My other works on Artstation also indicate work time, so that one can compare. -
[3ds max] mapping shortcuts to actions that aren't exposed by the MAXScript listener or CUI?
I'm sure it's been asked before, but is there any way to map keyboard shortcuts (or custom toolbar buttons, or whatever else) to actions that 3ds max doesn't echo in the MAXScript listener, and which also don't seem to show up in Customize User Interface? For example, I want to map "Select by Element UV Toggle" in the Edit… -
Noob zbrush rocky/brick surface sculpting question
Im having a really hard time sculpting a readable brick with a surface like the following examples https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/105235115/4.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/105235115/5.jpg Ive watched tons of videos including Tate's from Naughty Dog that helped a ton as far as how to create a tiling texture… -
PBR Smoothness bleeding issue
Hello, not sure if this issue has a name already but I suffer from this quite often and I would like to know if it can be avoided. The issue i talk about occurs for any PBR material which has different Smoothness/Roughtness values on it. When there is an area on a texture which has high smoothness next to an area which has…
