Ok thanks Specter I'll give it a shot. On a side note, does anyone know if they used any kind of projection painting on World of Warcraft models? I'm looking at the texture file that the model viewer exported and not only are the hands squashed right up on the unwrap to the point they would've been unnatural to paint 2D,…
....you guys realize publishers are actively going out of their way to pay streamers and youtubers thousands of dollars to review, feature and play their titles right? it's called influencer marketing and its still super under priced to the point of being hilariously cheap win for anyone with a marketing budget or who…
This pretty much sums it up: Certainly you can paint it out in photoshop, or tweak your cage(max) or render multiple bakes and composite them in photoshop, but be aware of the drawbacks. Its better to fully understand the problem, and try to fix it in the mesh first, as painting it out for instance becomes very difficult…
I am at a loss. I've lost count of how many times I've gotten to this point and never got through because I can't figure it out. I don't know how to unwrap this right. I used "flatten by smoothing group" to separate the small details around the windows but then when I put it into Mudbox I got huge errors in the mesh…
That's a great scene to choose! I've got a couple suggestions: The trees probably look great from further above but the current camera locations make the 'planes' look very obvious. I would take the canopy and angle the planes until they almost face the low camera. The one closest to the building is almost there. Lighting…
you can place ui objects in a shelf or directly on the canvas. unfortunately that does only apply to those tools which are available by default at application startup though (most 3d related tools require that you have a 3d tool active in the canvas and cannot by customized that way). you don't have to use a submenu to…
thats prettu hot! Overall he feels quite greasy, I think it needs a spec colour map - or more variations painted into it. (- to keep the broad shine, but make it feel like the surface has a different treatment, as it all feels as shiny as the rest right now) painting string values in a spec colour map can be good, really…
Some good improvement keep at it =) I don't see a lot of evidence of previous seasons of plant life? Moss or debris in corners and cracks that would be the basis for the advanced plant life. As plants die they turn brown, break down blow around and end up collecting in specific places and become food for bigger plants.…
Ahh 3D printing... gotcha. I'm not sure how the hoses will print, they may need to be done separately and attached? Might want to check on that, it depends on the machines they use but I think in general terms that is going to cause problems. Also it depends on the place you have it printed at, but there are places that…
(I actually had this update done about a month ago, but things were still busy and I forgot about posting it here. I should have another one ready in the next couple weeks as well.) Things have been pretty busy since the last update with other things coming up, and I had some health issues that prevented me from working on…
