Re: [WIP] 1930's apartment scene

The black of the background always seems to bleed into my UV islands, especially when resized to 256x256 for game. I've… -
Re: Zbrush - painting workflow

Re: Mexican Style House.
Hey all, So I have been trying to work with some ZBrush-ing-ness and I found this awesome little tutorial that drakcrusader has on his polyshowcase page. http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=73285&page=2 I'm sure most of you have seen this/done it already, but I figured I'd post it anyhow.
