I just use F4 to turn on and off wireframe while keeping flat shaded :) But if you want to get a key bound to flat shading, it's pretty easy. Bring up the MAX script editor (MAXScript->MAXScript Editor...) and type the code in: Now there are a few ways to get that bound to a key, but the one I'd use is: * Select the code…
Thanks to Shock for bringing this to my attention and setting it all up, some really nice work coming along already! Wanted to get cracking on something before I posted here. Mocked up a very early concept for a ward (I'm not much of a drawer!) the Polycount Gremlin. As you can probably tell this is very early stages so…
Well, in general my philosophy is to work non-linearly - that is to say, bringing the sculpted parts into a regular 3d program as early as possible in order to be able to assemble everything there as opposed to being stuck in zbrush (and thus not being able to preview things like they will look in the end) So my advice…
:thumbup: This is exactly why I have been bringing up the idea of trying to do more of a community update, like the tf2 robotic boogaloo, as opposed to a competition/Polycount chest. The way I see it there is already enough competition on the workshop as is by its intended design. If we could manage to actually do a…
Well insider stories are the whole upper management is plain incompetent and the CEO in particular. They've done a bunch of firing lately and got Jason Rubin on board, which was a smart move 'cause that guys is awesome. But they were still in much debt with no foreseeable releases to bring in the cash and amend previous…
Well done! Nice painting :D I do think you can make this model pop a little more though. Here's a paintover: I played around with contrast and adding some highlights to bring the focus more to her face. I also changed the colour of her belt because it has too much visual weight; it matches the turquoise now that's on the…
I've been doing some ZBrush tutorials lately, so as I am "replicating" what the tutorial is teaching me, am I stealing someone elses art work? No, I'm just replicating exactly what I see so that I get practice in a certain skill. Same thing dummyyou did. Why the drama? This is not an ideal welcoming ceremony for a brand…
Maybe you could bring in the belt from the original design? You could space out the tubes that go along the side over your existing ribbing so that they alternate somewhat, and bring in the center piece of the belt. Tie them all together with a strap top and bottom so that you won't take up too much UV space and you also…
Few things jump out at me. For the texture, the normal map isn't translating very well when the diffuse map is applied, mainly on the small details such as the rivets and the black strip things. You can help that by deepening them in photoshop, and also by using the spec map to bring out the normals more. Use a tool like…
Eoq, I find it interesting to see the discrepancy between your line sketches and your grayscale drawings. Your line sketches you do are way cool, and you've got some interesting things going on with your grayscale, but as far as conceptual designs, I like your line drawings much more. One thing you might try in order to…
