Good thoughts! Yes, agreed, i've already replicated much of the canvas navigation. One issue i have with photoshop is that some shortcuts are handled with special code, for example dragging to change brush size. I'm building what i think is the most capable shortcut system possible. Any slider in the app can be mapped to…
I need to make a quick animation for my class literally due tomorrow, and something I'm really struggling on is animating the wheels. I am natively a blender user, so what I'm used to is, having a constraint that allows the wheels to automatically move with the body of the car. In Maya I used an expression to do something…
Hi there! I would ask what's your focus? Seems like "prop artist" from your portfolio. I suspect the answer is more along the lines of "whatever 3d art job will hire me" because that was my remit back when I was getting started. However, you kind of need more specificity when seeking full-time studio jobs. Where do you…
when it comes to rock type assets, a lot of time can be "wasted" in zbrush. The thing about rocks, is they have a very even similar texture throughout the object, it's not important to make specific areas of the rock unique, as you can see on the bottom example rocks.

You've chosen a realistic style so you really ought to go back over it and make a significant upgrade to the detail level. While its fair enough that less is sometimes more, you have not chosen a 'less' style. Also, the big thing about normal maps is the fact that they can realistically fake more detail due to faking…
@Ghogiel I tried to do the triangulation thing not worked, I even manually connected the verts to avoid this shading issue it was still same just artifact direction got changed in relation to where the new edges were on low poly. Based on that I am assuming I better add more geo support loops to control my low poly shading…
I think we are back to square one with photohop and PNGs alpha channels being oil and water. It's just mangling the RGB channels and adding white again. I can get it to work correctly if I make the RGB 1 solid color. As soon as I add in a load of color, the exported PNGs RGBs are fubar. these were all exported with…

I'm going to adapt it's stylised illustrated elements into semi-stylised real-time Assets. I'm currently modelling some of the…
