ZBrush creating artifacts/noise in areas of the mesh that I'm not working on
So I've been having this obnoxious problem which I've highlighted in the screenshots below, I'll hide most of the mesh and sculpt on just one area for a while then when I go to work on another section of the model I'll find all of these artifacts all over it. Mostly I get surface noise but on some areas I'll get intense… -
Making low poly organics and Sub-d
Hey guys, a couple of questions 1. In terms of low poly organics, I've been looking through racer445's AK tutorial where he simplifies the high poly rifle (Thank you Racer, amazing job). But in terms of doing it for an organic mesh, is there a different method applied? Do you remove that many edge loops? If so, how whilst… -
setting up UV's for high poly baking
Hi again folks. I've just finished the Briefcase tutorial on 3dmotive and also have been learning Ddo. In the Briefcase tutorial, Alec uses uv splits on all surfaces that require a different smoothing group. For example a cube requires different smoothing groups on all faces so it will also require uv splits on all of… -
How do i fix this ??? (TOPOLOGY ISSUES)
This is my first post on poly-count (so if this kind of post is already there please do let me know ). I have been trying to do some topology practices in free time. trying to do sub-d modeling in a weird way to build up more fast and better techniques .Basically to know how much do i know hard surface . lets cut to the… -
Zbrush Projection Problem
So I created a hi poly model in 3ds max, exported as an obj and brought it into zbrush. Following this tutorial: [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0QvFYf_Q_E"]How to Model a Sword for Games pt. 1 - YouTube[/ame] I then made a copy of the subtool, dynameshed it, increased the polycount on both copies of the subtool,… -
Abnormalities in normal/AO map
I've been slowly and quite painfully learning how to UV and bake the weapon I made with the help of this site. And I think Ive finally almost nailed it. After the last failed attempt I deleted my low poly, remade one from the high poly. After I lowered the count I did the smoothing groups, essentially anything over about a… -
Pose Deformer, help plz
Hi everyone , Im testing out the maya plugin "PoseDeformer" from comet cartoons , on paper it sounds just what maya needs for tackling some of the biggest problems with smooth skin rigging. i can get it working on a test model , like a simple cylinder, but as soon as i goto my character its crashing out on me ... anyone… -
Re: [WIP] Datsun 710 Violet
Intuitive insights for subd modeling cars in Max At a glance it's obvious you've put in some prior research which is a key element when approaching this type of object for the first time. So just a few additional points I think worth mentioning: * I'd suggest modeling the entire mesh as one object, to begin with * Use as… -
Re: AR-15 Rifle (WIP)
Not too bad so far, what refs are you using for your materials? IMO I think the overall noise bump kinda detracts from the smooth polymer variation. But since you're doing painted metal you might wanna smooth out that bump normals where the metal is exposed. There is also a thickness to exposed metal on these irl. Not only… -
Re: Let's see some of your art from when you first started!
the first thing I saved in 3D in google sketchup in school, still thinks that was pretty sweet The director of the art school afterwards was not impressed tho, despite nobody that age ever learning 3d, only got to art school after a recommendation of my art teacher, where we started C4D Took me 6 months to find out…
