I read that feed too and tried using it to see if I can replace my FastStone Capture for image sharing. They both have the ability to "printscr and upload to ftp and copy url"; Pros (and cons) of each as an image sharing app: 7Plus: * Is free (faststone capture is shareware, costs $20) * Lets you type in the file name for…
Cool a couple texturing questions. I started with designing the highpoly then bake the info down, with the texturing I used photoshop and I broke it down into three sections the dark brown, silver, and when applicable the yellow tubing. I spent a few weeks doing several different texturing approaches until I found the one…
For the two more general questions: Why are there so many color spaces? - Color spaces are 3d spaces described relatively to a reference space that encompasses all human color vision. These are usually either XYZ or LAB. Because all of the mixing and rendering is maths, each tiny variation in size of a given color space…
chrisradsby: Thanks Chris, glad you made that comment. I've switched the thumbs to colored versions. Does that look better to you? I think I'll keep to this new format from now on. LRoy: My current workflow for creating a diffuse is as follows: Export my 0-1 UVs as a 32-bit Targa image file. Import the image into an image…
I think the normal maps on this piece are a bit 'busy' for my taste: http://davidzaballero.weebly.com/ppc.html I quite like the Graffiti tags though. I like the street scene, it's pretty colourful, but I would definitely omit this particular image from the Portfolio because it looks very bland - the top part of the image…
Hey Matt, I think your making some good progress with this image so far man. One thing I think you could do to really push this image (beyond what you have mentioned so far), is to really take the time to play with the intensity/color of the sunlight coming down onto the city streets. If daytime is your intended look to…
Good luck King of Ska, just remember quality over quantity! Better to reuse one generic awesome bottle 50 times than to have 10 really cruddy ones. Also i really liked this image from vig: Not many assets but still a very interesting image, heck it's even in black and white, you don't need crazy diffuse or specs for an…
Yeah, you've got the right idea, process-wise. If you have access to another 3d app outside of zbrush, a box with a few extrusions would probably have worked just as well and saved you some time, but there's certainly nothing wrong with using zspheres if you find them easy to work with (I don't, personally). Are you going…
I think people are voting for the "cool" image over the neat but practical image. Then when it comes down to the actual process, they get in way over their heads and quit. Challenge #4 was so successful because it was interesting yet very simple. It had 1-2 hero pieces and the rest were simple forms. When you get an image…
Okay, quick update:-added contact info on more images -changed lighting&color grading on the veteran's room, didn't use noise this time xD (old version image, for reference) -tried to stop the wallpaper from catching so much attention, mostly trough the new lighting -added another asset on the assets section, a sword…
