Hello everybody! I've spent some time working on an anime stylized project, where I used an Arnold's toon shader. I wrote this article to not forget how to set up the toon shader next time and maybe help someone else if they struggle with the same thing. Will really appreciate your feedback on my setup! Maybe there was a…
Modern workflow for a character is to: a.) create a basemesh. b.) Sculpt the high-poly details into that basemesh. c.) create a new animation ready mesh that matches the silhouette of your high-poly sculpt. d.) bake the high-poly information down into a low-res mesh. Right now you are at step A. The basemesh you are…
I'll be interested to see where this thread goes. The uncanny valley gets all it's pop in the realm of character art, but I think it happens in environments as well when things are 'just off' from how they would be built. Maybe it doesn't create the same sense of unease when it happens in environment art, but it can still…
Wouldn't it be great if during crunch the exec's and managers were required not to cut there finger nails. I wonder how long and how often they would decide to crunch then. What are some things you'd like to have happen on your next crunch?

Yes, I am talking exactly about this workflow: https://polycount.com/discussion/168610/3ds-max-zbrush-proboolean-dynamesh-hardsurface-workflow-tutorial/p1 I came from Max to Maya to Blender. In blender you also can keep your booleans as modificators and change amount of edges later, that is main reason why I decided to…
Updates.... I've finally decided on saddle reference. I'm going to go with something inspired from these two.... Creating lowres topology in Zbrush with Dynamesh, Zremesher and Zmodeler: For the saddle I started with a basic oval shape, and sculpted out the saddle form using the clip, move, and crease brush (with alpha 38…
Thanks for the great advices you great people :D One last question. How do you prefer to create your diffuse maps ? The main reason I stuck to ZBRush for baking was being able to create both normal map and diffuse map in one pass. Of course I used Photoshop whenever necessary but that looked really... convenient. So.. you…
