reference is key, my last vehicle i had a ref folder with easily over 100 images of the same vehicle from different angles, different "extra" parts that i may want to add to it, paint jobs if i ever really got to texture it, etc try to get nice even poly distribution, you have more tri's under the truck then you do in the…
Well I think the abs do look a little off. I know abs vary greatly from person to person, but I think it would make them more believeable to have the belly button up higher. The belly button is in the correct position between the bottom set of abs and 2nd from bottom, so if you just move the belly button up; it will make…
Hi Jordank95. Wall dimensions question: The best way to determine the needs you are talking about is to lay these pieces out in your 3D engine. Make a 3x3m pieces and compare them to the 4x4 pieces and see what works better for your project. 4x4 might be easier if you don't want to do fractions. Also you might need less…
Welcome on the forum! Looking at the images, I would make sure those border UVs are straightened, since the bevel is very thight. Perhaps increase bevel width in highpoly, so there's more information to capture. Make sure to check at intended viewing distance, it might be that edge is generally too tight. I think this…
Nice update! I'm a big proponent for using trim sheets... for trims. Not for large surfaces with tiled textures. So the cobblestone street for example is a worth using a tiled texture which is just stones alone. This gives you more variation and helps avoid repetitive patterns. Another trick to avoid repetitive patterns is…
What about people posing AI "concept art", in mood boards for their 3D WIPs? To take one example, this thread has a bunch of ai images. https://polycount.com/discussion/237246/zbrush-how-do-i-sculpt-this How is this for a potential statement? Not final, just a proposal... * We forbid ai generators from being used to make…
had to check for the project, switched machines in the meantime and didnt run it in ages. but regarding that rimlight. this is a 1 bit mask of the custom stencil buffer set to 12 (could be any number really, dont even ask why 12, dunno anymore :D ) here is the custom stencil mask applied per object (so it doesnt apply to…
Hi, We are launching a new project and are looking for someone who specializes in this type of Modelling. Our end-goal is models similar to seen here. I have also attached images of these models for example purposes. We can accommodate our budget to match your rate if your work meets our expectation, while we do have a…
Well I was really just interested in having people post links of good examples of workshop submissions and why they like them personally. I did check out the links for movie posters and all that. Worked a bit more on my load screen too (just posted in chest thread). But workshop submissions can go beyond just the movie…
