To really get into Animation, I need to practice a lot. I had been working on a small animated short which obviously wasn't turning out great due to my lack of practice (I have already made 4 animations before - can be found on the channel below). I decided to discontinue it and build my skills before doing anything like…
Hi guys, I started modelling an air gun (like in title), this is my first try of low poly modelling in 3Ds Max and will be first time in SP. P.S. Don't laugh I am modelling an air gun, I actually have this one so it was easier for me as I had this in front of my eyes :smiley: STAGE 0: Reference photo. STAGE 1: Low & high…
Some refinements! 99% of the way there I think. Instead of 'floating' plating patterns on a solid background, I've given the impression of plates fitting together to form the weapon. I came up with a few names and numbers. '058' - reference to one of my favourite sci-fi shows in the mid 90s: 'the 58th' from Space above and…
Actually i haven´t made any changes to the taken pictures. In wich programm do you stitch? I have used PT GUI and i think with this you will go good. The Tripod is an Manfrotto 055 X PRO B.…
Your reel looks good. Although I have a few points I'd like to add. What kind of animation are you aiming at? Is it just cartooney or are you looking to do realistic animation as well? Most of the animations in your reel look cartooney even though not all of them are cartooney models. The combine running animation is a…
Hello eco_bach, Depending on your Render software, mixing 2 materials are slightly different. But In all cases it uses the native capability of each render software to do the blending. The thing the Quixel tools offer is the "quixel mixer" nodes for all Renders. The idea with this node is to be able to take in displacement…
Wow, so many questions :P 01 - Realtime Mirroring Make a duplicate of the object using "instance" setting and set scale to -1 in x (normally). There are some gotchas with this workflow to watch out for which you can read about here: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=82052&highlight=mirroring 02 - UV Selection…
That's what everyone is thinking. They suspect the note didn't say what they said it said. After all, if Jacob is dead, why would the Lazarus pool work? So perhaps their intent was to drown him in order to give Jacob a vessel to possess. *edit* Someone posted an interesting theory of a timeline with a single loop. I…
Hey polycount peeps! :) I've never posted here before,.. but I'd be really happy to finally become part of the polycount gang. Here's what I've been working on for a while now: My goal is to translate a 2D concept into 3D to the best of my abilities, without deviating from the concept if not necessary (some areas aren't…
