Re: Greevar's WIPs
Good point. Esprite: "Kind of a waste to do a normal map for just surface texture. Consider doing high poly normals for it as well." You mean to say I should sculpt it in high poly to get surface texture and depth? I like what you're thinking about using the scratches more economically. I'll try that. "Also consider how… -
Re: Concept Character - War Machine
Holy! This looks nice and clean. I am trying to learn hard surface modeling. But I am having difficulty in making clean models where the object has both HARD edges and smooth curved surfaces as well. I am using 3ds Max. I usually model in editable poly and use chamfer on the edges that I want to be sharp corners. Then I… -
Re: Skewed Specular Highlight?
I recreated it and its perfectly fine here. in max 2008 DX/standardfx. I dont think your normal map is 100% right.. may be I am wrong but it has some jigglez and wiggles where there should be smooth surface.. that has nothing to do with your issue though.. I think you should play with hw shader settings a bit. >>IF… -
Re: Epidermal, subdermal, micro structure, etc - maps
not fully sure on all of them but Epidermal map: the external skin color. Basic diffuse you normally see with no shadowing. Subdermal map: the underlying blood and bone and such under the skin. The stuff that adds color and depth to real skin. Transmission mask: alpha value for how much light penetrates the exterior… -
[WIP] SCI FI Helmet
Hi guys, I want to share with you with my Sci-fi head modeling process :) My goal is to make model with baked textures and rendered in Unreal. Here's the main concept I base on: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/BYbx8 Currently I'm on the cleanup Highpoly phase. There is still lack of detail, but main forms are defined I… -
Has anyone replaced their modeling software with ZBrush completely?
I'm trying to work on a car right now, and am finding myself more and more drawn just to do the entire thing in ZBrush now. I'm currently a maya user. I've always loved to do a basic kind of entire model in Maya and then pimp it up in ZBrush, but as I'm learning more and more hard surface in ZBrush, I can't help but feel I… -
3DS Max VS Rhino
Hey Guys. I'm an environment artist and hard surface modeler and I work with 3dsmax and Zbrush and other common programs. My brother asked me to make a 3d mirror for him. I started to work on it with 3dsmax but it's kinda hard to make all the detail. maybe in this piece it's ok but I've seen some concepts that are hard to… -
Seeking portfolio review
Hello everyone, I'm currently trying to get back into completing my portfolio but i can't quite focus myself. I want to become an environment and prop artist, or maybe even weapon artist, and I'm mostly into hard surface. If someone could help me with deciding which direction i need to take my portfolio to and tell me… -
Environment Scenery texture organization
Hello I have a question ... When creating a small environment , let's say a Dungeon set , with a big room , entrance and some tunnels ... How do you organize textures to not make too many of them and still not have supersized ones? For example IF I use tiled stone textures , and apply on several different surfaces, I end… -
some retopologizing questions about zbrush
Ive just started to learn the topology tools inside zbrush (and so far they seem pretty awesome) I have a few questions though. firstly, is it possible to turn on some kind of backfacing filter, because the topology i've already created behind the part im trying to retopoligize makes it really confusing since you get like…
