Re: How to reduce number of polygon without breaking form?
Hello, Eric and Mark. Thanks for your tips. And, Mark's tutorial video is so great :-) About the missile hole, some of them will be filled with missile while others are empty. This is my reference (I am not going to make it exactly same though): And, this is what I've made so far Red area is where I put the missile… -
Re: SOLVED: Does 3DO not read normal +/- Y from DDO project?
Hi Eric. That's what I'm doing. I give DDO a y+ normal map in the base creator and select the UDK Calibration Profile. Everything works correctly in DDO but then 3DO doesn't appear to read that the project is using a flipped Y for the UDK profile. It looks like 3DO is still expecting a y+ map even though DDO flips it for… -
Re: Overlapping Transparency shared UV's
Hey Axi, Here is the screenshot sorry for the delay, forgive the textures they arent complete yet haha This is the UV (0-1) texture space - having multiple objects in one i.e. the campfire, jerry can, bottles etc to save space The bottom is the desired result i want to achieve as the issue as you can see from the middle… -
Re: [3DS Max] Totally, I mean totally strip an Object Material.
Hi Eric, Unfortunately to autodesk one does strange things to imported files, which leaves just the official Collada one from their working group. I believe its a text file, maybe I can get the programmer to make such a script. In any case it would be inefficient having to rerun that script everytime I made a change.… -
Re: Mudbox or ZBrush?
Really have to recommend ZBrush as well. I've used both and since learning ZBrush, I don't think there's really any comparison. ZBrush, just do it, you'll be happier. :) Get the Eric Keller book on learning ZBrush 4. By the end of it, you'll be able to get around and get stuff done without a problem! Yes, agreed! I fell… -
Re: PS - Creating a Circular Brick pattern
Just to be clear you're talking about something like this? Then I agree with Eric, making them in 3D seems like it will give you the most control and best results. Plus you can sculpt in some great details if you need to. I would start off with a row of instanced bricks (so you can make changes to them all by only editing… -
Re: Presentation Techniques
The biggest thing for me in your robot render is the overpowering bloom where the light is hitting the model. It's distracting. Best setup is to recreate a lightbox effect, used for showcasing products generally as the background isn't distracting and doesn't have any unnecessary details. Just well lit, with soft shadows.… -
Re: Village Environment (WIP)
This is looking really good! :) I think you need to fix the direction of the vertex normals on your leafs for your tree though. Here's an example by Eric Chadwick. http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1149155#post1149155 Also I would try and manually edit the vertex normal direction on your grass planes as well.… -
Re: Cobweb-WIP Feedback please.
Thanks a bunch eric. I didnt think to put my model next to the reference sheet, something that seems incredibly obvious to me now. For the face I was thinking that once i get the head to a place that's good. I could push and pull it to match the likeness of a celebrity or model that matches the concept pretty closely.… -
Re: Double Sided Face with Normals Help
That's an interesting consideration. These sails are going to just be white sails, though on the edges I should probably add details for rope support. With a little experimentation it could still work; I will try it, thanks alot Eric :) . @Earthquake: I actually did struggle with that idea. I should note that this ship is…
