Re: Dark angels warhammer 40k help!!!!!
Given how much 40k related art you do, Seforin, it'd be well worth your while picking up The Art of Warhammer 40,000. Its a good one. Flipping though it, Mark Gibbons, David Gallagher and Clint Langley have all done some pretty iconic Dark Angel art. On a quick glance over some websites, I couldn't see Langley of… -
Re: Sketchbook: Kate Blackshear
I um...I have no idea how I was able to do this one!! My friend Courtney forwarded me a series of videos covering masking/extruding as well as IMMs, painting, and separate meshes! I still have a lot to learn but I had SO much fun with this piece. It makes me reconsider what I want to do because I've always loved drawing… -
Re: How all you pros dealing with stress/burnout at doing CG art for living?
Gonna take a different approach with that one. There's a great book called "The War of Art" by Steven Pressfield. I highly recommend it to every artist, entrepreneur etc. There is obviously something in you that wants to improve after work as well, you just don't have the motivation after a bad day. Steven Pressfield talks… -
Re: [WIP] Sea Station - a UE4 Environment inspired by Spirited Away
Been experimenting these past few days making the ocean water, but my results were very unsatisfactory. I decided to take a look at the UE4 marketplace and study how people are making stylized water. I found this really cool Cartoon Water Shader by Kioki. It has really nice customizable features which come in handy for… -
Re: Correct way of baking normals for UE4
OK, had a look at it. Looks perfectly fine to me using xnormal to bake as tangent space normal. I use Modo as my 3d application. Here's what I modified in your low poly model: 1. A lot of stretching occurred in one of the side pieces, I had to cut down the middle part of it and relax the UVs. 2. Set all edges to soft, then… -
Re: The Future of the Dota 2 Workshop
Adding a so-called 'screening process' for comments is a bad idea. You can only vote or post something if its a constructive crit leaves out soooo many people. The majority of people who play Dota probably wouldn't even know how to give critique. Just because something gets downvoted a bit doesn't mean we need to get all… -
Re: Shane (Walking Dead) Bust WIP
I would agree with the eyes, they are just a hair too close together. I think the lips are spot on though. The first two reference images are deceiving because he is pressing his lips together, changing their relaxed shape. One way that I like to check if my likeness is correct is to do a survey. I'll send out an email to… -
Re: Paintover Help?
First off, relax. I know you're in a bind but we're trying to help. Second, we've all looked at your work posted here and on the blog, and what we're saying is that it's not enough to get a good start on a model. You've done one basic side ortho for the leg, and even that didn't really show any surface quality but the form… -
Re: Vahl's work thread (aka wtf have I been doing) - Large pics
thanks all :) swizzle : upper right is specular :) what you thought was spec is the actual gloss map (3 point shader features colored gloss, which allows for great effects) warning : big pix so this is a one week experiment, I don't have much time to do a full scale enviro because of work, so I have to try and go as fast… -
Re: UVW Unwrapping help
- for more technical models, quick planar mapping, relaxing, and stitching is usually the way i start things. - try to keep your uv edges as straight as possible at the cost of some stretching, this will downres better and save you uv space. - i tend to group uv shells 'logically', so the guns's optics would go in one…
