Re: ZBrush Hard Surface tutorials anywhere?
Agree with pior... and it shouldn't matter what you use for subdividing in max or any other app so long as you can maintain edge/crease hardness, which smoothing groups do. The idea here is that you are subdividing up the base mesh so that polygon density stays consistent and evenly distributed, making for an easier time… -
Advice on this topology? (Converging soft and hard edges)
I am trying to create perpendicular edges partway through a square-ish shape. I want one edge to be soft, and the other sharp. My first attempt: With this attempt I thought to pull apart the edges on the soft edge, so they diverge away from the hard edge and minimize the issue. The topology: The Issue is that I still get a… -

Need some advice/tips on how to sculpt my prop.
Curious how to sculpt this base mesh to look more cartoonish/stylized. some of you probably already have an idea what I'm trying to go for if you've seen my previous posts. Base mesh: Some screenshots of what I've sculpted so far, I'm thinking about starting over (I forgot to use morph target when I started). Some of my… -
[Finished Work] Another sci-fi corridor
Just posting some work that I finally completed earlier this year. It sat for many years as a blockout on my hard drive. Due to some down time, I was able to start working on it at the end of last year. Inspired by one of Tor Frick's pieces, as well as work on some of the Alien films I wanted to tackle some science fiction… -
Re: Viking Axe
Hi there. Thank you for your feedback. I did consider mirroring the to sides of the blade but there was a baking error. I actually want the edge where the side transitions into the back of the blade to be seen as a soft edge instead of a sharp edge as seen below This meant that I had to make the set of polygons as circled… -
Re: Maya 2017: Electric Guitar modeling [wip]
Solid progress! One comment, if you don't mind: some of your object edges are super sharp (the edge of the thumb-tuner, the nut around the base of the tuner bolt, etc). When modeling, the edge thickness you aim for can vary depending on what you want your final output to be (a normal map for a game mesh? Realistic model… -
Re: City of Hell Fortress
Pretty nice man! I really dig the silhouette on this, since you plan on starting over on the texture, I would really take a stab at better use of the UV shells. I feel like you could get 25% the resolution gain if you really pack it n tight. What I find works best packing, is to to initially look at everything zoomed out… -
Re: Marmoset Toolbag 3.02 is Available now!
Thanks again for the quick response Joe. I downloaded the trial and started to play around with it. Firstly, it's excellent. Really easy to use and really fast results. It's brought up some new questions, that maybe you could shed some light on. I've uploaded a test video as reference to my questions here… -
Re: Need help with texturing!
Those tutorials aren't totally helpful on old stuff. AO isn't necessary if you're doing handheld things, only when you get to source/hl2 spec stuff does it become useful. When doing low poly stuffs, pick a global light source and stick with it; inconsistency is the worst! For metal I find good old dodge and burn on flat…
