How to simulate old graphics?
Hey! Do you guys know what makes old graphics, old? Take a look at broodwar for example They are sprites made from 3d objects, but they have a unique look, maybe its the color limitation, maybe old render engines, what is it? Some more examples: -
Re: Getting a particle to stop
Not that hard, if I understand you correctly. Here's a super-simple example, max 8 format. Uses a UDynaFlect deflector, which lets you choose arbitrary geometry. Replace the particle system and you're good to go. http://www.ericchadwick.com/examples/files/particles_filling_a_box.zip -
Re: Unreal shader resources?
I don't think that's an especially good example, i was just messing before going to bed ^^ You shouldn't look too much for complex examples and super large and impressive shading networks, some very basic effects can easily simulate a large range of materials :) -
HAIR!?
i saw some good hair examples from some of the entries in comicon challenge 2010, and the varga tut is a widely referenced method, but I think this topic needs exploring further by artist & engineers, or perhaps I just need more practice:) and another texture example I made with finer hairs -
Re: Zbrush character to animation general question
Make the meshes contiguous, as much as possible, this will reduce headaches later when binding the vertices to the bones (skinning). For example, take a look at how the shirt transitions to the pants, or the pants to the shoes. Street Cop by Mashru Mishu. More examples here http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/BodyTopology -
Re: Low poly base mesh, what are you priorities?
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. -
Need Low Poly Greybox Structures
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… -
Re: Age of an artist
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 -
Re: Carpet UV Tile using Substance Designer?
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 -
Re: Ysalex Anatomy Practice Thread (nsfw)
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,…
