Re: Round 3: Female Character
like i said, spending the majority of your time in perspective mode is the most important thing. i can already tell you're suffering from not doing it. look at the side view, see how many vertical loops there are? but as you rotate round to the front there's a giant plane, i'd hazard a guess that the back will be similar.… -
Re: Pirate Lamp Post
Took care of the metal base to make it seem more metal and less like stone, added the nails to the support and adjusted the rope to be more yellow. Not sure if I like it but it definitely contrasts better so that's good. edit2: Any suggestions or tips for the lantern? it feels really bland and flat in comparison. I was… -
Re: Maya Blend Shapes Deforming Incorrectly
They shouldn't? O_o While poking around I discovered the "Paint Blend Shape Weights Tool" and noticed that every blend shape's weight maps flooded the entire mesh with white, so I thought it might be a good idea to change that. It stopped the weird vertical stretching, but now the lower lip is slipping when I rotate the… -
Re: Need help with Xnormal backing
Did you clean the mesh before exporting it in SBM format with a cage? (Reset XForm, Pivot, Edit Poly Modifier and Collapse it, etc)? Also, don't forget to select all vertices and weld them at a low threshold, same with UV's. Same for the high poly (although the HP shouldn't matter too much if it's a simple sculpt). Because… -
Re: Substance Painter - Effective pipeline when working with xNormal
That's why I always liked the Xnormal method with SBM format that just required a Projection modifier on the stack. No need to worry about UVs on your cage, no need to worry about having the same number of vertices. I'll have to find some time to test the SP method but after having used Xnormal for so long, Painter will… -
Re: Uv mapping problem Zbrush
The polyframe leads me to think that the mesh isn't as clean as it looks on the surface. For instance, you can see areas where the edges start to go in a direction but then suddenly terminate (and not in a way that makes sense with the edges that are fully visible). I'm thinking you have polygons that are occupying the… -
Re: Scifi environment [wip thread]
Interesting shapes. Do you have any plans for vertical variation? The environment feels rather claustrophobic and flat at the moment. The layout also doesn't seem very good. I know you don't intend to have any gameplay but the map is way too open. You can see the entire environment from one of the extremities. This is not… -
Re: UDK - Rundown Office
Nice Work ! A couple things: The wood feels like you've pushed the contrast too much. Your reference photo has much less intense wood. It would probably help if you color picked directly from the image and used those colors to texture your wood. Too clean ! The walls are begging for some vertical run stains. Once you get… -
Re: Best way to go about making Terrain
Hey guys, sorry to bump this topic back up again but I have another question. How do you guys go about actually making terrain for your environments? That environment I was working on used UDK terrain which was decent but didn't have as much control as I'd've liked. The environment I'm working on now for a university… -
Re: Installation Zone BR688(Sci-fi environment WIP..)
Also- one other question is to the Environment artists currently out there in the industry, does geometry that is separate(say for instance things that are not combined or attached /merged vertex wise..) does topology need to be optimized for 3/4 sides? This I haven't been able to really get a clear answer from anyone. For…
