Re: Whats your Character workflow?
Character workflow is very subjective to each different person mine is: 1) Zsphere armature 2) Dynamesh sculpt 3) Full sculpt and texture (so far still in zbrush) 4) 3dCoat to retop and unwrap. 5) If possible export the zbrush high poly and use the 3dcoat obj as the low poly and use xnormal to bake out maps. I prefer to… -
Re: Bunker
cool. I`d say mesh lab has some uses, like making super high poly, app crashing models, more optimized and less app crashing), but making a lowpoly mesh is definatly not what it should be used for. your best bet would be to re-model the low, over the high. at first this step sounds like a pain in the ass- but theres many… -
Re: Maya - How to: Blend Vertex Normals via Paint Transfer Attributes Weights
Just giving this one a little bump. I managed to adjust the normals somewhat by making a copy of B (B') before transferring any attributes from A to it. This way I could average the normals of B and B' - though I do not have the ability to finetune the results. Maybe Maya does not allow this kind of operation in the first… -
Re: Practicality vs Aesthetics
I specifically didn't use the tumbler as an example because it is an actual functioning vehicle, so much so that it was featured on Top Gear. It isn't hard to convince an audience that a functioning vehicle works. But for a ridiculous flying thing, that's another story. For me the illusion was enhanced by to things 1)… -
Re: Nexam's cavern - Join my 3D journey to Blizzard...
Nice detailing! I think the overall proportions could be pushed a bit, though. The belt and thigh plates on the sculpt seem a little bulkier and softer-edged than what you had in the concept. I would try to conform those to the body more and crisp up some of the edges. Also, the thighs were slimmer in the concept,… -
Re: [UE4] Sane – Third Person Adventure Game
Thank you! Spend a lot of time tweaking them :smiley: This is the result of the spaghetti monster I posted earlier today: Its one of our terrain materials. It blends between the textures with their heightmap and has distance based tessellation. You can also paint in procedural puddles that conform to the underlying… -
Re: Tiling baked meshes with arbitrary toplogy?
I've been meaning to ask this question as well. I believe what we're looking for here is a way to tile a piece of seamless square geometry along a mesh in a similar sense to how you would tile a texture. I know this can somewhat be achieved with vector displacement, but that creates drastically more polys than needed and… -
Re: Maya to Zbrush problem
Hi, I have encountered this problem before. It is a pretty easy fix. Open Maya and turn on the display face normals. Display>Polygons>Face Normals. This will show you the direction the faces are pointing and you will see that the faces not showing up in ZBrush have their faces pointing toward the inside of your model and… -
Re: Max 8 - UV planar mapping problem
Ok just played around with this again. It doesn't matter if I do "align to view" "align to x", y, or z... it auto conforms the selected polys so that they stretch and distort to meet all the sides of the UV editing square. The only way to prevent this is to uncheck "normalize map" but then the polys I'm mapping get mapped… -
Re: Hell Spawn [WIP] - Crit it up!
Hey guys, I'm loving the feedback. I made the head a bit bigger as per requested and made those traps conform to the concept rather than what I thought looked alright. I'm much happier with it now. Anyway, here's a tiny little update. Still need to fix the hands a bit, just work on my topology flow. But other than that, I…
