Re: Cloth modelling headaches
It's too many questions and a lot of them have the dreaded "it depends" answer. But I'd suggest looking up Georgian Avasilcutei. I don't know if he is still streaming on twitch all the time, but he has a few gumroad tutorials that will show examples of answers to all of those questions. He was making characters for the… -
Re: Mari and substance painter
Yeah, actually pretty good texture soft. Udim works with no more 16k x 16k pixels in total of all udims parts, then starts to slow down. Probably depends on video card memory, not sure. Brushes are best ever with ability to scatter random brush dabs or displaced details on the fly without all the puzzles of Substance… -
Re: 3Ds Max - odd ring selection behavior
As someone moving from Maya to Max you will have a hard time with the selection behavior at the beginning. Maya has an adjustable distance check, as well as other "smart" algorithms to aid in the selection process, thus it's pretty fast and easy to select stuff. The distance check in Max is hardcoded, there's no other way… -
Re: Help Needed to Move Forward
In the end of the day nobody can't teach you anything you have to put the time and learn what ever you want to learn . As one smart man use to say : You can get harvard education equivalent for 5 bucks in the local library . I will give an advice I heard from veteran artists : You get a book [figure drawing, anatomy,… -
Re: North Korea declares "sacred war" on U.S.
Well, there are the humanitarian considerations. By all accounts, the current North Korean regime's mismanagement of its national resources is driving its citizens into starvation. They are effectively killing off their own population. It could be argued that it is their right as a sovereign nation to do just that. But its… -
Re: polycount on a portfolio piece
Just make 3 or higher and make a LOD with number 2 and youre set, thats why theyre there ; ) I think optimization is very important for you to know, but in your portfolio nobody cares or gives you any kudos for that. Just make it look amazing and be always smart with your tris, thats what counts, the impression you make,… -
Re: The weird tribe human's lizard
Hm..its silky smooth for me. I will admit, the music starting in when you zoom close to the character startled me...I almost fell out of my chair. I really dig the shader on this guy...is that just a default color/bump/specular? The shininess is really tight though..he actually glistens when you look at his back. I think… -
Re: Victorian Ornament
Thanks for taking the time to write some crits ng. aniki :) I'll be doing more Victorian style ornaments for a large UK scene that I'm working on in UDK. I'll take your suggestions in mind! The death-stare idea is cool, and I can use that on a gargoyle statue that I'm starting. It's another piece being used in the scene.… -
Re: IN PROGRESS: Material ID and Masking bugs
Hey, I'm in a very similar situation, so I can report it here I guess Today I started a new project and had several IDs on the color map all marked as painted metal and a couple marked as Iron. (I want it to be the same materials but have some changes on certain parts of the model). I had 2 more Ids marked as black painted…
