Re: [Portfolio] Chris Green - Environment Artist
If you ever get warping i.e. colour change on your normals from a flat surface its not so much of a problem. All the normal map is doing is correcting you smoothing group information to represent the object your using to bake. The problem is when the object has to be lodded and all the suporting structre is lost meaning… -
Re: [WIP] Zbrush Character - Wes Carrick
I'm not dead I swear! I've been really busy lately so progress has been sporadic. I didn't want to post again till I had something worth showing. Did some more fabric work. Rough folds on the pants are done. I also cleaned up his shoes a lot. They look way better but I'm thinking they are too big at the moment. Getting a… -
Re: Inkfish's Character art and various bits and pieces
Nice, I like the hood design from your last wip shots more than this new one... that's a really cool detail and I like how the end wraps down and around, almost like it's long wet hair draped over her shoulder. An idea to really push the bony/malnourished look would be to really accentuate her joints more... like thicken… -
Re: The proper working chair
@Rurouni:I went to gym for a month,they basically failed to understand that something was wrong with my back & that the doctor suggested to not lift weight until further investigations,I reminded them that point several time but they just insisted with "you have to lift more weights to build up strenght ecc..ecc...." I… -
Re: Off-topic: Roleplay in games
I've done something similar in Oblivion. Half way through, I quit the main quest and did the Dark Brotherhood so I could give myself a story line of an assassin who turned good. I even 'killed' all the members that I could (quest givers couldn't die). After I wrapped the main game I would sometimes role play that I lived a… -
Re: Software for Symmetric drawing
Easy, the best available software to do this is Krita, hands down. You can get it here: http://krita.org/ It has auto symmetry and user defined symmetry, in addition to a wrap around mode great for tiled texture work. Its brush system beats Photoshops in my opinion, though its still rough around the edges... still its been… -
Re: Neat tricks you know about in 3ds Max
Couple hidden things I use daily and can't live without now Symmetry Tools: Realigns symmetry without using a symmetry modifier. I use this under a skin modifier all the time to make tweaks on one side and then transfer to the opposite. Saves a huge amount of time. Modifier Button Sets: You can add commonly used modifiers… -
Re: A new modeling tool released
Hi IStonia, thanks for posting the update. Spherize - the problem perhaps is wrapping the selected geometry around a sphere, it's too complicated and I can see problems where vertices are snapped to the wrong side of the temporary sphere (I also incorrectly named the tool Spherize) The tool should be renamed to Circularise… -
Re: Portfolio Character, hipster girl
@Blaisoid - Thank you, I'm not sure I'll ever get it right but those helped. I appreciate it. More stuff. I ditched the idea of Toms for being too easy. Doing half-boots instead, which are more complicated and a better visual (I think, if I'm wrong call me out). Anyways, this update is the face, the boots (almost done,… -
Re: Noobie question - softening hard edges?
UV islands are the chunks of UV's. So for example, don't unwrap a box and weld the sides together, keep them 6 separate pieces. The reason you want every face a separate smoothing group is because the edge where they connect is really sharp. For example, a cylinder can be 2 smoothing groups. You can assign the faces that…
