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…
First, about creating the upper eyelid crease, I agree it's a pain and I don't know how to do it in zbrush. I'd probably try to create two different objects (tools?) for the tarsal plates part of the eyelids and only combine them with the rest of the face later when the fat pads and eyebrows are 100% done, so they don't…
This is fully build by hand (either using a dedicated retopo app, or directly in one's main regular 3d app), and triangulated before baking and for final engine use - because it is required for an acurate bake with glitch-free shading. That's all there is to it :) Note that in the case of very simple props like this, it is…
Hey Polycount: I'm working on several visual issues that are occurring with our game, The Maestros, as we're barreling down to our Alpha Build for USC Demo Day Sneak Peek 2013. I will preface that I am a Character Artist by trade, so I readily admit there is a lot of UDK and environment art knowledge I lack at this time.…
Hi all, I have a few questions around building and using modular kits for environment layout. 1. How critical is it for a modular environment to be fully closed off? Meaning, all assets snapping cleanly to the grid with no protruding geometry outside of the layout of the scene? In cinematic work, I’ve often prioritized…
Okay. So soft edges can be split up too? I also need to think about what somebody will see most in the model right? For example in this one, they would see the outside 4 polygons and the inside 4 polygons. The rims of the model will be seen the least. Also, previously you listed this as in the steps I need to take when…
You've already heard a handful from me elsewhere so I will only mention new things based on the extra information you have here :) Hopefully others will chip in. So the big thing that jumps out at me is your remark about making a production quality environment. Of course, that varies depending on the platform, but I'm…
Hello. I've been transitioning to Marmoset for baking and have built up a very large scene. Currently it has around 80 bakers and a similar amount of materials with normal maps and I plan to have more. Generally having a scene this big is no issue, there's very little lag in the viewport whilst moving my camera, marmoset…
Solid body of work, though something that really stood out to me was the funky reflection off the water in the shot looking directly at the lily pads. Not sure if that is something you have control of, but either the water shader or the reflection are muddying up the reflection in a very non-natural way. If this is…
