Re: [WIP] Jurassic Park inspired Velociraptor
Thanks for the nice comments :) , i agree it is hard work, the last additions are about 3-4 hours worth of hand cramp xD. But the reason i'm hand sculpting at least the ones on the face is because it does give a nicer effect than the alphas, more randomness and you can better match the key scale lines in my opinion such as… -
Re: 3ds max biped: drawing a sword?
It really depends on what this is for. When you're working with an engine and you start talking about switching parents then you almost always need some kind of engine code handling the transition. So basically there are three ways to handle this (that I can think of, off the top of my head). 1) Biped Prop Bone Add a prop… -
Question for experienced hard surface artists (Modo MOPS vs. Blender Hard Ops etc)
I'm a bit rusty when it comes to hard surface modeling, have been doing organic modeling/sculpting mostly for a while now, and I'm wondering what tools are considered the "gold standard" nowadays. I know it's subjective, but any input would be appreciated. I do most of my poly modeling in modo and have been looking at the… -
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…
