Re: Normal map Bake artifacts? (Warning 9 Screenshots)
It's baking the Z fighting. Most of the green you are seeing is the underside of the faces being baked. Increase the size of your LP so that the Z fighting stops or increase the Bias value to the same effect. Only increase the bias in small amounts, as it's measured in Blender units and a value of 1 will tell Blender to… -
Re: Thug Character WIP
BradMyers82 Thank you! ^^ I'm happy that it was able to get this far for the time I had, especially considering how crazy this quarter was for me. It would be fun to build him a little environment :D I feel a little bit torn about how to give his hat shoes and pants more character. I would throw in grime usually but this… -
Re: ZBrushCore thoughts

A common way to handle this situation is texture BLITing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_blit I'm sure it's not… -

Re: Terry the monster
Thanks for the crit poop! Hmmm yeah I want the eyes to be like a spiders (image below) I thought it would use too much geometry to actually tie them into the mesh although it would allow me to add a tiny ridge around them, but the problem then is that the eyes would actually squash/stretch with the poly which I dont really… -
Re: Tips to Improving as a 3D Game Artist
there is one thing i think that is keeping a lot of people back and that is the inability to gauge their own stuff against what is good. i look at tons of portfolios, and there are people that honestly think they are great and that could not be further from the truth, and i have come to the conclusion that they have no… -
Re: LA
LA will seem much cooler once you start checking out the museums. Get yourself over to the Getty as soon as possible, LACMA (LA County Museum of Art) is great for a little bit of everything, and if you're into the modern art, there's MOCA and the Geffen. If you want to keep up your 2D skills, check out the Animator's Union… -
