Re: 3ds max: various problems
Yeah, normal align is great! I haven't tried an attachment/surface constraint, but I will look into it. But maybe I should be more specific about my problem since it's not just getting something on a surface, it's obtaining a perfect axis and orientation for it. I am working with something that assembles sections of road… -
Re: How and where learn modeling?
It comes down to 3 things: 1) Learning the theory behind the various aspect of 3D ( what are meshes composed of, why quads are better than everything else etc. ), usually theoretical stuff comes out when you start a new aspect of 3D ( ex. texturing for the first time ), when you encounter some problem ( ex. bad topology ),… -
Re: big drain thingy environment -UDK
I should say that environment settigns are pretty good here: the light mist, the lighting. 1) First of all fo me it is hard to say what time period this enviro belongs to. The torch and "castle" bricks sugegst medieval. However, the overall idea of huge round sewer tunenl entrance situation reminds somethign that we see in… -
Re: [BL1]Purple Ice- Borderlands Meth Lab
Sir Apple: Thanks man! Still a lot of learning to do on getting their style perfectly, But things are going nicely so far. Joeriv: Thanks. Should start getting them in engine/scene soon-ish :) Polycrunch: Nothing really fancy there. Just went the manual route with it. 1. Cylinder! With an even amount of sides, will work… -
Re: ZBrush Tri Part insert mesh welding disaster
Updating with more info: This mesh was made in Blender using symmetry modifier for the left/right side, since the end pieces was simply rotated. I thought this might be the problem so I applied rotation/scale/location (Blender's equivalent of reset x-form) before exporting, didn't make a difference. I also tried mirroring… -
Re: Sketchbook: Yuri
Today I decided to give myself some time to grow slowly. I decided to do a small test of my level by doing a test using blender and zbrush. I took some reference photos I wanted to sculpt from scratch but without following a tutorial... Wow x) It was fun and interesting but from a perspective of an artist, a true disaster… -
Re: The Agony of learning without a mentor
I think some people, i know that was my case at least, and probably still is to a point, have problems with wanting to learn things like, yesterday. You go on artstation, see all the amazing work, and then you are depressed when you see you can't get anything to look even remotely as good. So you loose motivation. That's… -
Re: maya08+xNormal. the puzzle within the puzzle
Cages method >>>> constant uniform ray distances, yep. Just remeber this when you set it... the cages MUST cover completely the highpoly model... and if you get some ray fail errors just extrude it a bit more the cage and the mesh ( I use an "epsilon" value to avoid floating point numbers artifacts... usually 1E-5 or… -
Re: DarkSectology
thanks for all the comments again :) sama.van - What, you don't like the background sound on my site ? that's... unheard of! Sorry, you can't turn it off :/ I plan on getting rid of it and redoing the menu sometime. The only part of the site you really want to see is what's under 'A' on the left menu, from there you go to… -
Re: Sketchbook:Kanible
You said you'd like to focus on RTS games, so I'm assuming that some of these meshes you've made are for that genre. The poly density is nice and low, but my one major complaint is that they're not every consistent. For example the tank - you've used polys to bevel the armor on the bottom yet areas retain hard edges. If…
