Re: Black Edges/Artifacts from Normal Map baking in Marmoset
It's perfectly valid to bake with some more extra geometry than intended just to subdue issues like scalloping. You can then remove later on carefully, as certain scenarios could end up breaking shading, and thus giving you a broken normal map. Don't get too caught up in polycount numbers, instead just focus on adding… -
Re: 3ds Max Hard Surface High poly model problems with hard and smooth surfaces
Excuse the crude drawings :smile: Make these faces a different smoothing group. Sometimes with this workflow, a seemingly odd thing to do is to assign certain faces with different smoothing groups, despite them all being completely flat/planar with eachother. When they're all smoothed traditionally (and also how you've got… -
Re: Working on Hard-Surface Weapon for the first time!!!
I am not an authority on hard surface but this looks pretty neat. I checked your artstation too and it looks like you have a very good foundation so I'm sure you will have no problem bringing this model to a great polish. A casual word of warning though. If you are working on a game that you intend to finish, it can be… -
Re: Substance going subscription only
Again, I know I'm repeating myself, but the idea that Adobe doesn't innovate is not based on facts. The tools may not go in the way you'd like them to as 3D artists, and that's understandable since they were not made for you in the first place, you are not the targeted user, but most Adobe tools, including Photoshop, gets… -
Re: Learn to see : Basic drawing and warm up exercises
@carvuliero Hi. this is great. I have always wondered about drawing to improve vs sculpting because, both require different techniques like for example the process for creating the hair would be different so if I am doing this in 3d, am I not learning all the techniques while learning anatomy as well? But from your post,… -
Re: Evil Winston Churchill Character
Thanks PHArt :) I intend on making him a real-time character. I just need to make a few tweaks then I will be onto the Low poly :) -UPDATE- Apologies for the size of the pics and the quality of the renders. It is very late and I am in need of sleep. I spent more time on this today and I am pretty happy with it now. I just… -
Re: My Journey To Be a 3D Artist !
Your hi-polies looks cool, but can't say the same for the lows. If you're intending to bake your hi-poly models, then you should make the edges bolder. I see all of your hi-poly models have too sharp edges that wouldn't translate well into lowpoly. I think you can give the eotech another chance, with some higher poly… -
Re: LowPoly - Indigo [608 tris]
I did a simple subdivide model (some small topo, UV and shape edits) and re-did the texture (which I kind of improvised on bits). [ame] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcT6Q71ycRc[/ame] 2700 tri 512x Textures (glow and diffuse) keep in mind that the higher poly was just to see how it would look, I will be completely… -
Re: Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn.
Maybe it's not entirely faithful to the comics but it still looks like fun. I'm all for entirely 3d animated action movies that aren't initially intended for children. Also as for Tintin being racist see; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tintin_in_the_Congo "Tintin in the Congo has also been criticised for its treatment of… -
Re: [UDK] The Apex Observatory
Oh that's very clever, I'll give that a go! I think I have an idea how to do that through a material too... Well it's not too late to do that. :) That's a very good idea, I didn't consider it because I intend to show a pan around of the building in my portfolio, but it makes a lot of sense that i should be visible for the…
