Re: Low Poly to High Poly Workflow
Well if you're gonna work in zbrush even the A mesh won't work well for you. You want to have an even density of polygons on your mesh, that way you'll have the same amount of detail to work with everywhere. In the case of your A mesh you'll have to add tons of subdivision to add detail to the bottom part (left side) of… -
Re: UDK for iphone free
Yeah I have a MacBook Pro which I use for general messing around at home, with Bootcamp on too it's like the perfect little mobile dev setup. Seems odd that they wouldn't port the UDK over. Although I'm sure I've heard that too, IIRC even when UT3 was talked about for Mac (did it ever come out?!) they always said there… -
Re: Tablets: lots of questions
In that price range a Motion LE 1600 (or lower model) on ebay might be a good fit. Don't expect to do much if any 3d work on it though. Also IIRC the screen res is 1024 x 768 so Photoshop will probably feel really cramped. I've got a Toshiba m200 which runs at a 1400 x 1050 resolution so it's not too bad although it's a… -
Re: Studying machinery for hard surface art
Basic manufacturing techniques will give you some ground to stand on. Everything from plate bending, plate punching, arc welding all the way to hydro forming and high pressure injection molding to name a few. If you have the possibility to find manufacturing blueprints you can start figuring out how stuff are built up as… -
Re: Water Light Reflections in Unreal Engine
If you need some more refs and an idea of how it works, then these things are called caustics :3 I know there's applications which can automatically generate an animated and tiling caustic pattern for you.. though, iirc they also cost a bit, which, feels a bit wasteful. And, I think the reason it looks crumbly is that you… -
Re: female anatomy study *NSFW*
hey Goraaz, thanks man, looks like I really did need a few fresh sets of eyes on teh piece, everything that you are pointing out makes sense ta much :D Also thanks for the kind words about my IRL stuff, yeah there is a lot in the smaller scale sculpting that you skip just cos of the size of the stuff that you really cant… -
Re: Recommendations for a PC for Workstation?
Thanks Poly~ I like the offering of 64g ram on the AB350 Pro4 Does it also come with built in wireless wifi? --------------------------------------- And btw when you mentioned saving PCIe sockets, what exactly does that mean in terms of IRL appliance? Im still quite new and the only definition Ive found of PCI e socket… -
Re: Smoothing groups, Tangents and Binormals, Triangulate
Triangulating via the FBX plugin has caused issues for me in the past. I'd recommend triangulating before export. There's also a bug in Maya 2018 that causes crashes if you have tangents and binormals checked. IIRC Unity uses mikktspace (Mikkelsen works there), but Maya doesn't(?). There may be differences in the ways that… -
Re: Boom! Hard drives!
For the record burning to discs isn't a permanent solution as pretty much all discs suffer degredation over time and eventually your data becomes corrupt. I learned this the hard way when I lost work from about a few years ago because the disc is packed with CRC errors now. Unfortunately it's even worse now because the… -
Re: Summer Character Workshop - the SwordMaster
Nice progress so far! I think the wrinkles on the inside elbow could use some smoothing. The cloth appears to be crumpled because the wrinkles are getting pulled in multiple directions. The wrinkles in the skirt thing are a little wavy too and could be straightened. Aside from that the clothes and proportions seem to be…
