Re: First W.I.P. - Warcraft-Based ORC.
Actually I was gonna do a current to next gen version. My first version was around 1200 polygons, and had very little detail in it, and I wasn't using any of that efficiently. Now I'm aiming for the 10,000 to 15,000 range, and yes, I'll be doing normal maps. @Megabiv, now that you've pointed it out, it seems so obvious… -
Re: Need Help With UV's & Texture Resolution
Ah, okay, understood. And yeah I like the idea of learning current gen techniques now, and then older later. I actually want to learn both, it will only increase my capabilities more. It may be wise to hold off on toolbag2 since toolbag3 may come out soon... But.. I'm still eager to try it out so I'll get it. also, what… -
Re: 1940 T-34/76 [WIP]
well l would reduce few counts on those wheels and add some polys in gun turret.Still lot of details of components to be added.I know getting refs is tough for this particular model and would suggest you to stick with maya for highpoly too..if u r new to zbrush...hard surface modeling in zbrush would take lot of practice.… -
Re: UV editor
http://www.renderhjs.net/textools/ textools, by renderhjs, is the best out there atm imho. many helpful things that can speed up UVs. But Uvs are very time consuming and until you have a workflow down pat doing the UVs will very likely always be longer then modeling. Although now days, for me anyway, with the advent of new… -
Re: Optiniums works
Thanks for the feedback Artstream It's actually 5x 2k maps, I've just edited it. You're 100% right about the weapon, I'll adjust that when it comes to texturing. As for map sizes I'll agree if you're talking about realtime environments on consoles like the PS3/360, but in terms of current/next gen (PC/PS4/XBone) it's not… -
Re: Stylized Character: Hunter
If you want to become a better artist, learning your foundational art is key to that journey, if not important at least. Figure drawing is one of those disciplines. With texturing, I think you should just start learning how to do PBR texturing (google it, search through Polycount, there's a lot of threads). There's no… -
Re: Workflows for games, movies and other environments
I would really suggest looking through these two http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/store/product/396/Character-Modeling-for-Production http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/store/product/425/Character-Texturing-for-Production#.U3zWJ_ldV8E They're a bit old, but at the time they blew my mind about production. Though loads of… -
Re: HK 416
Not sure how good they are, but SimplyMaya has a Pulse Rifle Tutorial. Gnomonology has a Next-Gen Colt 45 tutorial with Zbrush detailing and such. CGTuts has a MAC 10 Tutorial but it's for premium members... That's all I can think of at the moment but really, Guns are just basic hard surface modeling. The most difficult… -
Re: BMW Progress/Problems
You have hard edges everywhere, where you have 2 different smoothing groups next to each other (smoothing split). I would say add the chamfers/supportloops until it looks good with one smoothing groups. And then a normalmap would be totally pointless. Higher polygon count is totally acceptable nowadays, if it worth. Some… -
Re: Quixel SUITE | Pimps & Previews
You guys are killing it with some kick-ass art ! :D Here is my little contribution : I just started making something other then Hard-Surface to try out Zbrush,and my first batch of work will be focusing on Rocks,tilleable concrete floors and so on. Modeling and Retopo was done in Zbrush,Unwrapping in Maya and texturing…
