Hi, im pretty new to modelling. I figured I'd learn by trying to model some of the characters from my favourite game, Final Fantasy 7. I'm using Maya. I tried using Zbrush, but i quite like the methodical way of modelling in Maya. I may venture back into zbrush at some point, seeing what can be done with it. Tifa The hair…
Hey artists i am looking for someone who can create me a 3d model out of these two pictures: I tried it on my own with sketchup, but i totally failed. So i want to build this and don't want to invest so much time in 3d modelling and i think someone with a little experience ca do this in minutes. Can someone make me a…
Welcome to Polycount (both of you!) I think your character concepts are great so far! One thing I always ask myself when reviewing concepts is... is this enough information for a 3D artist to reproduce the concept in 3D? And looking at your first couple character concepts, I'd say no. 3D artists need to see the character…
I do strip modelling pretty much exclusively, just box modelling for low poly models to normal map. I prefer strip modelling because I can do the details exactly how I want for an area and then just build along with my details, without worrying about messing up other parts of the model. I find when trying to do a lot of…
For so long now, I've always thought that the traditional workflow for creating assets was you make the model first, unwrap it, then create the texture. Though, upon coming to this forum and reading numerous threads it almost seems like the complete opposite holds true here. You make the textures first, especially tiling…
I am modeling a diver's helmet to practice my modeling skills and I have encountered a problem with the edges that generates pinching in the model, does anyone know how I could relax that area by moving the edges?
Hi
everyone, I hope you guys can help me out. I’m right now in the planning of a retro 3D
game made in Unity3d and I’m having some headache with the 3D-models. I want to
include a “playstation 1”/ 3D retro art style with pixelated textures on the
models and environment. But I’m struggling with these kind of pixel textures…
To flip individual channels, hit the lil cogs icon next to "Normals" in your last screenshot. Y should be green unless you're mistaken. Please be patient while I practice my gas lighting effects. As for the idea itself of using non-square textures generally, TIL it's no longer a bad idea to do as long as you stick with…
I started rebuilding my very first models. There were so many issues with the UVs and textures. So here are the comparison shots. The old models are on the left and new on the right. I've posted more pics of the rebuilds on Artstation https://www.artstation.com/artwork/4KNE1 I would love to hear any critiques on how I can…
