Re: Vray or Mental ray, for photo realistic characters
i think you have to define who the user is before you can make a real comparison. the needs of a single artist rendering turntables for there portfolio is vastly different then a studio pipeline that consistently has to render huge datasets at 4k+ with a large assortment of custom shades effects and displacement. for the… -
Re: Monthly Environment Art Challenge - March & April 2017 (47)
SDimitrius "I0 think your tier one" hammer is a good starting point but I might slow down a bit and refine the sculpt further. The forms feel rather soft around the edges and cracks. Whether you're shooting for a metal or stone hammer, both of those materials would crack, ding nick etc in much sharper harsher and more… -
Re: Learning a New Art Style?
Welcome to the club :) i would worry less about what the style is called or how much/how little time you spend on something, and the process behind it as AimBiz mentions. The techniques i can see: a well done, tight drawing, then colored, a similar workflow to comics, probably. From the values on the skin, it looks like a… -
Re: Future of 3d modeling and texturing
So: Are you a great artist because you can create super realistic folds with your bare hands or because you led someone to make your folds the way you want them to be? I would argue the first one is what makes one think "wow this is an crazy amount of work and craftsmanship" but on the other hand I hardly see any… -
Re: [Training] + [Dump] - Ace Post
Your Golem seems wimpy and like he is not steady how he is standing. He also loos more like he would be made out of wood then out of clay and rock. He needs feet, even if it just a much wider base at the feet and/or a few rocks that act as toes. I found this Golem sketch on DA… -
Re: [MAXScript] WM3_MC_BuildFromNode problem
Okay well I've tried declaring the variables in a different manner but I'm still having no luck. --Boolean gates global selectedMeshes = false global meshHasMorpher = false global meshesMatch = false on originalMeshPick pressed do ( --1.Define what meshes are what global originalMesh = originalMeshPick.object ) on… -
Re: Smoothing Groups.
EDIT: GAH, two people posted before me, so yeah their answers are probably better. I know how you feel, really they make no sense to me either. It seams like a way way overly complex way of dealing with something so simple: spliting the vertex normals. Anyways, how it works is that you can have up to 32 groups. If the… -
Torture chamber
Hi all, I made this piece of environment inspired by a concept by Odewill (you can find the concept here: http://odewill.deviantart.com/art/ShadowGuardian-Torture-Chamber-205443144) This render made using 3DSMax default renderer. Light set up using several omnis and spots w/o casting shadows. All shadows added via shadow… -
Re: Gina (critique welcome)
@Firebert, thank you :) @pxgeek, well, it's "stock" in a sense that it's built with Blender's Geometry Nodes modifiers (a node-based system for procedural geometry). I have a set of simple modifiers for generating hair from splines for baking texture (there are some hair modifier assets that come with Blender, but I can… -
Re: WIP- Elderly Character- Need Honest Feedback
Thanks a ton for the feedback, both of you - I really appreciate you taking the time. I will respond to each of your points separately below: Really appreciate the thoughtful sculpting advice! You’re absolutely right about pushing the secondary forms. After reading your feedback, I went back and deepened the wrinkles,…
