Re: Texel density and things I just dont understand...
You can use multiple different sized procedurals, but to ensure consistent TD, you'd have to make sure the geometry/uv's are scaled with respect of the size of the textures. Something that has a 4k tileable would have smaller uv's, whereas something with a 512 tileable would have much larger uv's. I see sometimes theres… -
Re: Beginner's Portfolio
I'd say nice work, though you should definitely be taking some of those assets and moving on to creating the low poly for them and doing the UV/texturing work, as that's the other half of the job. I agree with taking out "beginner" from your portfolio website header. I also would probably remove how it's currently setup as… -
Re: ZBrush noob questions
- Ctrl+N will clear the canvas of snapshots - Yes you can... but it wont be as realistic as one that is attached. Attached ears are usually better for baking and retopo as well. There are a few ways to merge it in. The easiest way would be to Merge it down (Tool>Subtool>Merge Down) and then Dynamesh it. When you Dynamesh… -
Re: [UE4] Peak Gas Station
@wonkza Substance painter/designer! Went out and took a ton of pictures of different grunges that I turned into tileable grayscale images to drive different masks as well. @pixelpatron and @undin I'll definitely be trying that out, I have emissive inputs and parameters in the master material I've made so far, I need to add… -
Re: Hannibal Lecter Cell
Thanks for the interest! I think I will remove the render cam from inside Lecter's cell. That is by far the weakest and does not really fit alongside the others. I should have some new renders up soon, as I am still working on this when I get home from my day job at a post production studio. @Hostilis, yes textures are wip… -
Re: Portfolio Building - Matt Nelson
The biggest problem is definitely the number of pieces. You simply don't have enough work to show off consistent skill. I were recently contacted by a recruiter who gave me the same advice and, at that point, I had nine of my best projects up, now I have 16 of them up instead (I'll trim down the size a bit more soon).… -
Re: Curved Arches tutorial
I'm very imperfect about stuff like this. Create one arch, copy it a bunch of times in a straight line, instance it (so you can work on unbent arches later) At this point you can do it two ways: A) Apply the bend modifier to one of the instances of arches (be mindful of your pivot). - You can then scale and edit the… -
Re: Arena Net Art Test [WIP] Norn Male- Woogity
More on this, had to take the week off till today to do some contract stuff and a different art test:poly127:. Should be aiming to finish by the end of next week if all goes well now. The tubes on the skirt are just placeholder for a sculpted one at the origin, way easier to make symmetrical and remesh. So the tubes around… -
Re: Beginner Workflow and other questions
I feel I kind of got lost here as well at one point but I feel that what I had a hard time finding was how each map would be used/applied For example (I may be wrong as still learning myself) The main maps I know Normal Map (interchangeable with Bump) Bump Map (interchangeable with Normal) Opacity Map Ambient Occlusion Map… -
Re: How Can I Take this Further?
I'd suggest really going back and defining what this character is all about. what's his story? What's he do for a living? Is he good at it or does he suck at it? These are the kind of questions you have to ask yourself in order to make a character come to life. I did a quick paintover based on your design. I hope it helps!…
