Thanks BARDLER for the nice tutorial. A thing I can add to that tutorial is to get the icon for the brush easier: instead of using printscreen / photoshop, you go to the Brush palette and ALT+Click the SelectIcon button, it grabs your document and uses that as your brush icon. [edit] I've changed my mind and will not be…
Since you're not really as much as a code monkey as Rick, I wonder if rigging this up using reaction manager instead if that would be more friendly for you? Not exactly a tutorial tailored to your specific needs but it should give you the basics and get you moving in the right direction? It's the 3ds Max equivalent of…
I would suggest you check out the eat3d.com Next-Gen Texturing tutorial. Even though it's not in maya... I've seen a couple of people who have made threads about doing it in maya instead of 3ds max. I think that those tutorials and maybe checking out something the "sticky" threads in Technical Talk should answer your…
Agreed it seems people use there final diffuse and just run them through the Nvidia plug-in.. (or Crazybump). If you had a texture with black and white paint on it.. would you also just run it through the plug-in? The forms should be 'normalmapified' not the colour information.…
erm, i dunno about you other guys, but i used the tutorials and information on polycount/skindom/etc/etc sites when figuring out what this whole 'skinning' business was about. Saying that no one needs help, when this is a community where people come to learn and show off... tutorials and resources are an amazing asset to…
Nice tutorial dude! I remember when you made the modelng tree tutorial way back when and I'm glad you finally got to this one. Vig mentioned that you should make the background colors as close to your forground as possible. I remember someone posted a PS action for this so it does it perfectly, however; I can't seem to…
Thx for the tutorials. I wanna know, did I do anything right? besides, all I know is extrude and sub-devide. So yes, VERY new to all of this. [Edit] Just got back from the arcadia tutorial... wow, That's amazing, I dunno what to even say other than I wanna take down my excuse of a model
This looks like the stuff I made when I was your age Just keep working at it. Refine, refine, refine. Also, finding tutorials on the net will probably help you out a bunch if you want to get better. A lot of the portfolio's on this site have tutorials with them so they're always a good place to start when you're looking…
ben cloward has a tutorial series about landscape materials on youtube here: Fixing Landscape Tiling - Building Worlds In Unreal - Episode 5 (youtube.com)
DavidCruz Thank you for linking this tutorial, i welcome any help, so i definitely will check it out! Sometimes it's pretty annoying to go through the tutorials on YT because they mostly cover the same simple stuff over and over again and it's hard to find ones that are actually informative. Also, thanks a lot for liking…
