I've got a bunch of models that come from a CAD program. I need to make them workable, so I can sculpt on them and add more detail. The meshes look like this: Note how they are separate elements. I can weld all the vertices and get one solid element, but the mesh flow is still awful. I don't have a lot of experience with…
Things havent necessary been slower, but development has been non-productive in tangible results. Dont get me wrong, an awful lot has been done, its just not anything that I can directly showcase! This is a LUTY. It is a Sub machine gun, remarkable inaccurate and prone to jamming and unfortunately breech explosions. It is…
OP, avail yourself by learning anatomy first, instead of pedantically searching for an optimal suite of refs that will neither empart a basic perception nor enble 'tactile' fluidity when generating chars via a 3d viewport perspective. Don't repeat a common novice assertion that simply 'copying' a figurative still life or…
Buy/find every anatomy book you can lay your hands on. Every anatomy video tutorial/workshop/youtube timelapses you can find. Everything you can think of. Then study it all. Then apply your knowledge in your form of choice, be it zbrush or photoshop. Start with heads, arms, legs and other parts. Use base meshes to get you…
@Rabbid_Cheeze: That's something Modo doesn't really have. You can go to Geometry>Vertex>set position and set the position of that component. This works with edges and polygons as well but they don't work off the center of that component. It assumes that you want all of the vertices that belong to that poly or edge to the…
if you are 14, you are too old to do this shit. We have people who are 12 year old kids who draw kick ass concept art pieces, who also work in the Ubisoft, EA and Activision, you are too late. Ok jokes aside. You should learn the foundations before you jump in to the entire art scene. You have entire life to achieve your…
Hey apollo, there is a number of things wrong with the anatomy in your guy right now and i think that trying to address them all would be a little overwhelming. If you really want to do it right you need to study the origins and insertions of the muscles. There are some great books/online classes that can help you with…
Yeah, without knowing where to source online quality instructional material, growth generally grinds to a halt or becomes stilted. Anyways a few favourite bookmarks I'll link here, they're a mixed bag in terms of workflow and/or genre but commonality exists across the board in that they're professionally authored which…
Aye Zac has a nice breakdown of the popular hosts, a few new ones for me aswell. I occasionally get stick from using referral links even though it benefits the person just as much so i stick the vanilla in nowadays ;'). I've been using holeinthewall for the last 3 years now, managed to get my previous inhouse web studio to…
looking awesome! One thing to keep in mind though, is that a jigsaw is more likely to be covered in a shitload of sawdust rather than just dirt/stains, especially if still in use. My father has a hard-wood jewelry boxes/cigar humidors/cutting boards/etc, workshop with all kinds of these tools (I think he even has the…
