Re: Zbrush: Hard surface help
Ugh, I wrote a pretty hefty post about this, but the forums seems to have lost it, bleh. Anyhow, here is what I had typed. -Masking and Inflate are you best friends. -Second best friends are Morphs and Layers. -Don't stick to one mesh, just like in real-life, HD objects are layered (EI: the grip of the gun should have the… -
Re: Supernatural Ninja For College Game (UE4) WIP

I seen hoe to do it this way in a digital tutors tutorial a while back using zbrush and 3dsmax, cant remember what it was called at the moment. I think i will… -
Re: The worst time to graduate?
Yep I was going to post the TAX break news in this thread. It's a great time to be graduating. Just don't expect a job right away (I was offered a job while at Uni but it fell through a few months later after funding was cut, got a job which I had for 4.5 years a year later). Work like hell on your portfolio and stay… -
Re: Rendering nice cubemap skyboxes
We have a few resources here http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Cube_map I've seen many artists start by photographing panoramas of real clouds, then layering other things on top using their 3d software of choice, plus Photoshop. The trick with painting cubes in Photoshop is to never paint near the edges, because you can't… -
Re: Knight Bust - Texture Practice
Stromber80, thanks man! I figured I could spread the love around here too, I created a breakdown for the "realism" skin texture since a person asked me about it. It's not exactly a tutorial, but a layer-by-layer breakdown of how I got to my final texture. Putting just a thumbnail up here since it's huge, you can click on… -
Re: North American P-51D Mustang
Ahh okay, thank you ^.^ You make me blush :D wuhey, thank you very very much for these HD pictures! :) I think they will help me a lot. I found this manual 2 weeks ago, too, but thank you :) For my animation it's no detailed cockpit recommended anyways...but I think I will finish it later when I have more time for it (It's… -
Re: [FINAL] Panzer 4 (Ryan Griffin)
To be honest....you can easily do both and swap them out depending on the purpose. Have the individual link UVs on one of your other texture atlases, (as it doesn't take up much space so can easily be squeezed in somewhere) and then the tiling texture approach is on a separate atlas anyway. I would recommend, even for the… -
Re: Render To Texture -Alpha Issues?
Sage: The problem arises when having many layers of alpha-mapped geometry as a source texture. If you tried overlaying a plane with that texture on top of another plane with that texture, at an angle so you can see through to the "lower" leaf, the top leaf's alpha will mask out the lower leaf, which is wrong. It works… -
Re: Modelling for Unity?
Unity terrain kinda sucks tbh. In this scene I used multiple layered meshes (modeled in max) as terrain, 1 material per mesh. This allows me to use any kind of shader features I want for the terrian. I created some editor tools for painting the material masks onto those meshes and for painting the foliage/detail objects… -
Re: Example Next Gen environment art
Hey Tin, thanks a ton for sharing this. One question, I was looking at your difuse, and on the top layer is where you bring out some of the lowlights..I think that is what they are called. This really helps define the texture alot. How did you go about making that layer? *Edit* Came up with another question. I noticed in…
