Hi im new with modeling, im using Modo 801 only for some days (such noob) and know the basics. Im familiar with ZBrush (4r6) before, so topology was not as clean (easy) to maintain as you could in a regular 3D App like Modo. I have never retopologized something yet (im unsure in which way). As example, my first mesh i did…
Well this all looks very interesting for sure. As said as far as I am concerned the part that peaks my interest the most isn't so much the interaction with other apps, but rather the concept of being able to write python code without having to ever deal with indentations :D This alone would make it very interesting, and…
Merely an additional workflow snippet thought worthwhile sharing. I'd previously bookmarked an interesting example when searching for a possible workaround, that I could cope with which involved baking non contiguous grouped HS meshes, via Painter mitigating self occlusion cast by floating geometry in object space, as…
@Donato Thank you for the compliment. I learned a lot from the last environment challenge so this one is going much smoother for me. I'm also allowing myself some artistic licence so I don't spend forever trying to replicate the concept art exactly. That was my main problem in the last challenge. :# I wouldn't worry too…
Hey there, I can't totally answer your loan question. I have some close friends who have loans from both Gnomon and another school, and its working out barely so far. That would be an extreme example. That said, if you work hard, you can expect 70,000+ for your first job. If that helps factor your question. Next is if…
RE:FPV this is one of those things that makes sense conceptually but is applicable less often in reality. There's a number of disclaimers here: * If the weapon model will ever be seen in third person view, mirroring is often not appropriate, as mirroring artifacts (flipped text and such) will be visible from certain…
Here's a flashy announcement that's going to burn your eyes regarding next month theme: As demanded by members, Next Month Theme is going to be choose Randomly and Anonymously ! Each of you is invited to answer this survey => https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/F2TTK9B <= and add up to three theme. On may 30th the theme will be…
Doesn't that all depend on the weapons use, the animation set etc? Its all well and good saying its covered by a hand, but in this case, the body would be covered by the hand, the pin and ring would be fully visible and in the players view. It would create a nice dynamic to see the pin fire off when the ring is pulled. As…
I love the style, I agree however the tree texture looks a bit like stone. I'm pretty new to modeling and am doing a personal project doing hand painted textures. I see that you have made tile able textures to use, however i'm not quite sure I fully understand how to apply them. I'm currently learning how to use Maya after…
In this specific case you'd be better off box mapping to the same value with a much smaller texture with less bricks in it. That is to say you might box map it 5x5x5 and fix anything that doesn't look right (thin sides of walls, for example, might not be aligned the same as the front and back and may need further…
