Re: Worlds worst normal map. What have I done wrong?
Thank you, much appreciated. I'm about to turn 30, so I doubt I'll be making any radical personality changes. I tend to do things the hard way for no good reason... But the good thing is that I've switched to a degree in digital media, so I'll have plenty of instructions and exercises in the basics. That should help round… -
Re: Can Zbrush completely replace maya or max for modeling.....
Zbrush is like clay in digital form, and you can make almost anything from clay in real life. So I guess it's possible. I would use both max and zbrush/sculptris when it makes sense though. I think creating texture would be a lot more faster in sculpting programs but if I want something simple as a soda can, creating a… -
Re: Unsure about entering this industry.
If you start doing CG you can take photos of bricks for 3d scans in a busy street and if someone ask "what the hell are you doing ?", you can simply say "i'm taking photos for 3D reconstruction and digital preservation of our cultural heritage" and get away with it, while in reality you are just taking photos to make… -
Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge January 2014 (15)
they're near a window. Concept looks odd. maybe face them down and make them viewing screens or some kind of digital binocular screens with a view of whats outside. Though it looks really industrial, so maybe just a control panel. The composition may be thrown by a illuminated screen. Im pretty into this challenge, just… -
Re: Cyborg Assault SWAT Woman
Thanks guys! Ged and Abrvpt- I adjusted the translucency map so the nose glow should not be a problem any more. Im finding time here and there to slowly chip away at the skinning, but I came across the Digital Emily work from the WikiHuman project last week and after loading the files into toolbag I decided to rework the… -
Re: Curver - Beta Release
Very nice ! I remember seeing your older video, and it looked fantastic already. I tend to find the current and widespread approach to digital lineart to be quite frustrating (involving so many undos for line correction, and constant zooming in/zooming out to fight the lack of precision of current input devices). Your… -
Re: Gaming trends you want gone in 2014
I want Achievements/Trophies gone. If the game needs that crap to keep people playing then its probably not the best game. Multiplayer. I'm in Australia and get bad lag whenever I've tried to play multiplayer games, so that stuff can go. High game prices here in Australia. We get robbed here, hard. Even if its a digital… -
Re: Unnamed Project
the drawings of circe, anise, and the second picture of the old bird hag are traditional pencil work, yes, and in the case of circe and anise they are the first drawings I've done of them (that picture of vanna is the first I did of her, and the digital sketch of the bird hag was the first in her case) thanks for the… -
Re: What Books/ tutorials regarding modeling do you recommend? (For Maya)
The problem with instructional books is a) they tend to skip steps which isn't ideal for a complete beginner, and b) they get outdated rather quickly. Get yourself a subscription to Digital Tutors... a couple of their Maya courses (namely Intro to Maya, and Intro to Modeling in Maya) and you'll be all set and well equipped… -
Re: Will I be able to continue developing my 3d skillset and having a job non-related to this field?
Last year i stumbled across some interview with the artist who works at weta digital. He said he used to work as a crain rigger on the construction field, he got hired as a 3d character artist,just switched from that position to this one. I think he was mentioning something about loosing his brother who passed away,…
