Does anyone know how I could go about baking cross-sections (could just be alpha masks)? I was inspired by how SotC did 'volumetric' fur, and I'd like to try making an 8 layer (16 tri) tileable patch based off of cross-sections taken from a high-poly patch of grass.
after my first effort took way too long, I decided to put myself under the gun and see how far I could get in a 8 or so hours... I'd call it a mediocre start...I think I'll give my self another day of revisions. What would you prioritize?
Here is a paint over of one of your planks! The lighting seems a bit inconsistent so you really want to focus that along with adding thickness to your planks. Also might I suggest doing only four planks for the 8 sides barrel! It will help you practice tiling textures.
Hrmm. I had I changed it from 16bit to 8 bit and now it's exporting. I feel dumb. But also I don't know why it was doing that. Shrug? I think somebody has told me that 16 bit doesn't work before. Guess I needed a reminder.
Some Concepts: Well, not satisfied at all... some early concepts that didnt really turn out like I imagined ^^ Will probably go for a mix between 2 and 8, though I really want him to have a cape... (Ignore 7, that was just for fun and looks really weird :D )
Baking a normal map from a 512-sided cylinder and applying it to an 8-sided cylinder won't make it smoother!! I could never get my head around Path Deform. It works so bizarrely for me. :( For 90º sided curves I think bend is definitely the faster way.
i can confirm that i am modeling car parts 8-10 hour a day at work, after that my motivation to start modelling something at home is near zero even if you manage to somehow motivate yourself, its not very healthy to sit 16+ hours in front of a screen
It took me like 8 hours to realize I can kick and lunge. It helps so much! To kick press "foreward" + "R1" at the same time quickly To Lunge press "foreward + "R2" at he same time quickly. Did you know theres a ring that turns you into a vase???
I'm on every night when I get home, and do reply to whatever 8-). but they been dragging me into the hangouts so lately I'm on both haha. It's not meant to be a place of active discussion 24/7 so much as a resource for discussing dota stuff, asking questions or getting support
Last week I had to complete all the low and high poly modelling for our week 8 deadline the following are the presentation sheets I created for all my assets. Feedback would be much appreciated for any changes I can make in the future in Presenting my work. Thanks
