I just got an Intous 3 for xmas (wooohooo!) and I was playing around with it today and I noticed that it doesn't seem to be drawing very smooth lines. For example, when I draw a circle quickly it comes out like a hexagon. I'm guessing this is just a result of the speed at which the position of the cursor is being read at…
Hello Polycounters! I am very stuck on texturing part of the modelling for games workflow. Stuck in a way it always decreases the quality of the artwork drastically. Is there any good tutorials, mentors or anything where I can learn about textures - not only about how to use SP / SD, but actually understanding materials,…
I tried doing that 3Daily and getting into Blender so that I could sort of be a jack-of-all-trades and be able to create a project all on my own for game jams and for my own things, but I just can't do it. I'm a semi-professional (i.e. good enough to get paid, but not good enough to get a full-time, permanent job)…
Hi everyone !!! When i see the contest of league of legend i see a good opportunity to work with my favorite character, JARVAN IV. I liked all the pool party skin so i decided to make a POOL PARTY J4 with a little brainstorm I finish with good ideas ( i think) for the Prince of demacia. When he ult someone he trap his…
Heya - you're misunderstanding my point. I am not saying that anything needs to be redone from scratch - I am saying that in order to merely handle models/prepare models for texturing, you need a so-called "regular" 3d software to move UVs around and scale them according to the density you need on a given part, to split…
@ggrazziano Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! I'm afraid my background as an artist with a painterly style is showing. Speaking of which, time to break out the secret weapon. It's been fun and a good practice to eyeball everything, but this project reached the delicate stage of finer structural adjustments. Any heavy-handed…
@Alemja That makes sense, and I guess as far as that goes, I did manage to take about a day to redo the entire model. However I ran into a huge issue here (In which I sense a "circle/cycle" approaching). so according to the heads of my last model, this one here is 2 heads taller but then that made the original head way too…
@Micaki Thanks for the crits! I went back and made that contour a little pointier. I also elongated the op rod (the middle circle on your picture), since it was a bit too short. I also made the curve of the hand guard a bit less square. Now it looks more like the reference. I also did the folding stock. Here's my HP…
ok thanks. I bought an external HDD to use with windows 7 desktop, formatted it and had a whole bunch of fuckery. the google link above shows that I'm not the only person experiencing it. same hdd has no issues both with wxp and mac os. how did this shit get past testing over the years. or it simply doesn't allow me to…
Well on his setup, he is capturing mostly flat stuff like I am, but he is only cross polarizing the frontal light sources. His array of 8 lights in a circle is used primarily to derive normals and/or height and in the case of allegorithmic's graph you can use their "multi-angle to " node to get normals and albedo but i…
