Re: Summer Character Workshop - The Baker
I think the skin is looking a bit too realistic at the moment, maybe its not because the other textures are as detailed yet. but I would consider removing all the tiny speckles, Im getting a slight uncanny valley feeling. the overall skin tones look great! except for the hands. since the red paint/tattoo thing is already… -
Re: Darksiders Weapon
Yeap it looks nice so far..but I got a suggestion for you, in certain part looks too thin though for a metal or a wood materials. Especially on the 2nd and 3rd pic, the top part almost a paper thin (I'm not sure because I don't know is it a hand held weapon or a heavy weapon that mount on a vehicle?..if its a hand held,… -
1 ON 1 MENTORING
DO YOU WANT TO LEARN FASTER? ...GO FURTHER? 1 on 1 mentoring. I only take on a handful of mentees? There are more tutorials than you can ever consume. Tutorials are great but they are missing something very important...interaction and long-term accountability. Why ancient masters always had a mentor? Imagine where you… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | May - June (78)
Hi all, First time participating! I'm loving the environments posted so far. Both are looking great. Looking forward to seeing the final results. Found a bit of time today, thought I would have a go at the hard surface prop. Just a blockout for the time being. I'm curious how people would approach texturing something like… -
Re: The Ramifications of not learning Sculpting Programs?
Speaking as someone who has just recently learned zbrush, I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner. It literally took only one day for me to go through the very basics on their homepage (including the pdf with the links) and fiddling around with some brushes on a dynamesh and then the next day to sculpt a head (sure, a… -

Re: Critique my failed art test
Straightening the UVs is important for a model like this. For more standardized models like weapons, you usually don't "bend" your UV map like that. Your UV map is oriented diagonally. That's a big no-no for large-volume modeling. Take a look at the UV maps commonly used in most MMOs. They always make sure that the UV maps… -
Re: Need help with weapon measurements clarification (Mossberg 590A1)
@gnoop It's not about game licensing and stuff, I'm trying to up my skill, so I care about precision. If I'll ever put it in my game - of course I will alter it. @sacboi Ummm... nae. I was reaching low hanging fruits for many years, I think it's time to rip off the bandaid and go hard. This project I've chosen specifically… -
Re: symmetrical/asymmetrical facial keys in Max
I have few experience with lipsync, twice in max and once in maya. In Max I got my hands on a very easy to use script. I don't have it anymore, but I doubt it's hard to track down. You simply pose one side of the face and hit the mirror button and it would create a mirrored version. I've been told maya out of the box has a… -
Re: Of seams and shading artifacts/My brain is splitting at the seams
Normal maps are not something that should be considered human readable nor editable (barring a middleman like nDo), and there are other very good reasons not to hand-edit normal maps (primarily it's a bad pipeline as any rebake means a repaint, and others baking your assets in a team setting won't understand their odd…
