Re: technical highpoly workflow tutorial and scripts..
Ror: Yeah, heh, I usually use 2 iterations maximum, I just wanted that one to be really sharp and smooth StrangeFate: The way this works in Max is, you can still edit the control mesh, even if you're viewing the smoothed (SubD) version... however this is usually pretty slow since there's a lot of polys in the scene on… -
Re: Mercedes CLS 2018
As usual,what I think it will take a couple of hours actually made me spend almost a day on:the tail lights.I just couldn't get the shape undearneath the glass film,had to watch a lot of different angles and this is the best I think I can approximate that.Anyways,I'm uploading an actual render this time,even if I didn't… -
Re: I don't like to be associated with the term ''artist''
hense the use of the word "usually" in my statement. And No, Chef is not "usually" reserved for the head chef in a kitchen. There are many different types of Chef in a kitchen and they are not usually called line cooks... Not in the UK anyway... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chef You say "potato" and I say "potato".… -
Re: Who here uses gloves for work? Recommend your gear
I like to use ones sourced, obviously, from tier 2 tramps (preferably Irish, but obviously not, not ever,, from north-eastern Scots less than A-4) and then - after the usual cleanse ritual - trim the fingertips with a scissor of 20f gauge . I usually send out for the synthetic Wipe, it’s too expensive to do at home, Then,… -
Re: Are games worth $60?
regardless of the platform and title i usually hold out until a game drops below 30 pounds. that's the point where i can start justifying the expense. it's just a psychological barrier for me tho, considering how much or little time i usually spend with a game it usually still feels like i paid too much. i normally don't… -
Re: Advice for artists block
I find I usually get a block when I'm doing something I don't enjoy doing or for some reason I think I'm doing it wrong. To fight this I will sometimes work on another model, but what usually works quick is 1. Read a tutorial book / software manual just for fun. 2. Talk to a fellow artist on IM if possible about 3d or… -
Re: How to improve this bake?
Hey Obscura. Thanks for the help. I usually straighten the UVs but yeah for this test I left them curvy. It's a tradeoff and I usually prefer the curvier version for texturin in Painter. For example if I was to put some bolts on those curves they are weirdly stretched in the texture if they are straightened out. The… -
Re: Pixyz, does it work
I don't have personal experience with Pixyz, so I can't tell you about any possible shortcomings, but I know people who tested it some years ago and were pretty impressed. However, it's quite expensive even for bigger studios, so they opted against it in the end. Might be worth it if you use it a lot, though. There is a… -
Re: Problem with viewport in 3ds max
Sorry, somehow I kinda missed the fact you're working off wonky photo ref. When you don't have nice orthographic images planes aren't actually that useful There are various camera matching solutions (there's a rudimentary example supplied with max iirc). Usually they rely on knowing something about the way the image was… -
Texturing workflow for a large asset?
Hi, I'm a game artist and I'm in the process of making a large table that has a lot of sculpted detail. I just finished the sculpt in ZBrush and I'm now UVing it. The shells do not have enough texel density if I map them to a 2k map so I was going to just cave and use a 4k instead. However, I've been watching some videos…
