Sculpt it, adding noise modifier etc or just adding texture. as I see, really dont sure what… -
Re: "clean" topology?
well i mostly make hard surface assets, and i also UV, texture, skin and animate all my assets if need be, and especially in the case of hard surface stuff, i've found its more important to have proper vertex placing, and it doesnt matter as much how the edges go between the vertices. also lloyd i'd appreaciate it if you… -
Re: M37 Shotgun - Need help
1. select faces You want 2. enter scale mode 3. open tool settings now You have two options 4.1 In Scale Axis choose Normals Average 4.2 Use set to edge mode and select the edge You want the surface to be perpendicular to eitherway You should be able to scale down the faces to achieve planar surface You want. Make sure the… -
Re: your quickest organic prototyping workflow for ZBrush?
That kind of artifact usually comes up when you stretch a surface too thin before you dynamesh it, try using a clay/standard brush with backface masking on and thicken the surface a little before dynameshing. You might need to bump up your dynamesh resolution as well. As for your question, I'm a fan of zspheres personally,… -
Re: WIP - texturing process
One thing that was pointed out to me in one tutorial I read, is break down the material you are trying to emulate. Write a list of everything you can about the material you are wanting to emulate. What colours is it? Are the colours in a predicable pattern or are they random? What is the texture of the surface? Bumpy or… -
Re: normal maps, i have never made one right.
What, the hand-authoring in grayscale and converting to tangent space? It's perfectly acceptable for hard-surface work. We used it extensively on FlightSim 10/11, and it's much more time-efficient than modeling tiny nuts and bolt that aren't going to be more than a few pixels anyway. It has its drawbacks, but it's an… -
Re: an other Temple Scene CE3
At work, so I'm going to come up short here. Alright this is neat, but there are some big issues. * Everything blends in together. It doesn't read. * The transitions between organic and man-made surface qualities are not strong. Plants and mossy bits sort of just "stick out". Come up with a logic to the scene and how this… -
Re: Any chance for Concept Artist (me) to move?
I came across your artwork on Artstation yesterday, your work is phenomenal! Hope you don't mind me pluging that: http://www.artstation.com/artist/zxcman You say you're a concept artist? I'd say you could be whatever you want with your skills: character artist, hard surface modeler, concept artist. All of it. Your focus… -
Re: Intuos to Cintiq
Sounds to me like a Wacom Companion 2 or a Microsoft Surface Pro 2 or most of the Surface 3's would get what you want for the portability. If you need hotkeys you could either go with a full wireless keyboard or you could go with a bluetooth one built for mobile/tablets thats portable, or go with a wireless numpad, though… -
Re: Shield WIP
I'm no expert, but from my understanding, you are right about placing them out of site, but it's not the only way and not always needed. You can also put seams in plain sight, but where to surfaces change for example (and maybe not the best example but...) a sword handle could have a seam where it ends and the blade…
