Hey there guys. Today I'm happy to share with you something I did all the way back when the PBR bonanza started. It's a custom photoshop plugin for material painting. Here's a demo video: [ame]www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MU3M6xqhe4[/ame] Drive link: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B1zn6i0HQkjWRHRiU2VySl90Vk0 Direct…
Sadly its past 31st and i didint finish it yet. had rough days at work and been sick past week :C I'm soon going to finish the pumpkin man. its looking like this right now: also i started painting the tombstone, but painting stone is something I'm still struggling with :S I think the stone pieces are too small, maybe i…
I agree with this, the cheapest wacom bamboo is awesome. In fact minus the pen I prefer it to my intuos as the side buttons are annoying as hell. This will make your hand painted textures much better. Also try avoiding using soft bruises like you would any painting (generally). With that said I suck at painting and just…
I'm not sure I would call it a toy but I get what you are saying. My key frustration with ZBrush is how much it lives in it's own little world and the design behind the tools rarely seems to consider steps beyond just making the geometry. Sure it does a pretty good job at executing artist intent, as long as what you are…
We have a local supplier/printer here in Seattle that we're working with to keep the quality high and prices as low as we can. I'll be the one personally packing up these orders and sending them out. can't get cheaper than that. :) But that means that yes, we will get to the point where we will have more options [ i…
Hi, thanks for the responses so far. re: The proportions - I've tweaked these a lot, I'll look over them again. I know what you mean about the skyline, the roof and back I'm still not happy with, but can't quite pinpoint it. I'll look at the Lan Evo. I actually thought this was the better one, but I obviously need to look…
from http://www.warrelics.eu/forum/ordinance-ammo/m24-stielhandgranate-collection-7273/ To get realistic text you have to approach it as it is in real life (makes sense doesn't it?). First off, this text is stamped on, not stenciled. Secondly, it's really tiny and ink is liquid, so you'll have soft outlines and not sharp…
Here is the finished model. I still aim to finish a base to mount him on at some point, but I hope you guys like it. It's rendered in Vray in Max. No photoshopping at all. If there's interest I might look into getting some 3d prints made.
You should post these renders at full bright. Just take a print-screen from within the app. The painted-in glow technique doesn't really work when the crap shadow from the render is cast on it (that is untill you have a glow map applied).
So the combined map in this image pretty much follows Lennyagony's guide. You bake out a Prtn and Prtp map, and desaturate these images. Prtn on bottom with PrtP on top set to screen at 75-85% opacity depending on your needs. Then just the Green channel is copied out of the bent normal baked out. This is set to soft light…
