Not exactly a weapon "modeler", so can't say much but this question: Is answered to me by this top of the post: Subd is a part of modeling since you wanted to go back to modeling I'd say you are doing what you wanted by going back to the roots.
Almost Done!!!!! Main Shot^- I uv'd and applied all the materials to my objects. I FINALLY got a acceptable mesh for the Knight statue with the uv's and retopo.(Thank god for zbrush's uv master.) I also decided to add some variation on in the grass height. All I have left to add to the scene is to create an interesting…
I would really love that , now my kapok tree isn't abnormal as this one but is a natural real one growing about 40 - 50 m above the ground and emerging on the other normal trees of the jungle by at least 10 - 20 m up , the roots are immense compared to a man , the problem I am having is that I chose a texturing made witha…

I want to try and do a procedural texture for the rocks and see how that turns out. Second Pic: My lp to HP workflow broke down on this…
Hey Ricky! i'am very familiar with this workflow and I think I can help you. Using humanIk is pretty much straight forward. The first thing to know is that humanIK is designed to work with T-pose skeletons. So, grab your mocap data and put in a Tpose. How? Easy! First, select your Root joint of the mocap. Then, select the…

Learning Substance painter for the first time an encountered an issue when baking my world space normal map and ambient occlusion, as seemingly random faces appear inverted. I then went to blender to test it as well, and the same faces react the same way I've been able to rule out a couple possible reasons: -Inverted…
