Yeah I would refrain from putting tutorial results on a portfolio. If an employer sees that, they will wonder if can do the work expected of you without a tutorial for how to make exactly that. It seems like you get the idea of learning from them and applying it to your own stuff, but thats not going to come through to…
Thanks for your feed guys! And thanks TwoFlower for taking your time to do a paintover! I tried to apply some suggestions but I'm pretty sure I will need to spend more time on it. Now basically I have an oversaturated roof. Desaturated the door and applied some color overlay and layer style here and there. As well as…
This almost looked like a presentation on why you shouldn't use CS4. I've watched some bodypaint tutorials and I've never witnessed what just happened when you applied the heart there on his cheek. That looked like it applied very poorly. Also wouldn't painting on the normal map have any kind of value? Blending seams for…
Hi, I am having the issue where my cavity maps and spec maps are inverted. When I apply a metal material such as steel to a sword for instance, instead of the dirt that is applied being dark it is light. I tried to do the same thing in the old Quixel Suite as opposed to 2.0 and it works fine, so it just appears to be in…
This works for me: - Unwrap channel 1. - Collapse. - Apply UnwrapUVW again. - Change channel to channel 2 and hit 'Save current settings as default'. - Remove the modifier, not collapsing it! - If you apply your UnwrapUVW modifier again, it will edit channel 2 without touching channel 1. But be careful. Don't forget to…
Hmm, last time I checked it did that automatically. I applied a procedural (or maybe it was a bitmap, I can't remember) into the Bump slot of the material that was applied to the high-poly mesh, then just did all the standard stuff for render-to-texture - the resulting normal-map had the extra bump information baked in…
I havn't started working yet and am trying to get over my "Modding Fever" symptoms and apply for some jobs...but all these layoff's are making me feel less optimistic about applying for a job that will let me settle for a good while, or almost makes me feel like companies are tired of trying new people & want to keep only…
While the object is added to the motion mixer it is in "mixer mode" and can not be manipulated traditionally, it is playing whatever is in the motion mixer. When you remove it from the mixer it will apply whatever animation that was in the mixer to the object. You'll first want to save out your animations (Main Menu >…
Thanks Chris. Actually my latest piece (the boxing trainer) is geared towards the company I am looking at applying for, and the constraints I built the piece to were given to me by the Studio Director... only thing is that I've just checked their site today and they're not advertising character artist jobs there anymore…
Hi, I'm looking for a way to overwrite a specific file on my filesystem, saving as a copy when necessary even if the file is open and the active document - but without any user intervention. This is something that used to be easy but no longer seems possible with an action (something they changed in newer versions of CC?).…
