Re: ZBrush Vehicle WIP
Doing such mechanical stuff with zbrush is like doing a model in matches. I would first be impressed by the dedication, then i'd think "but why ?" I'm all for concepting mechanical parts in zbrush, experiment with shapes, example on the net… -
Re: {Maya}normal-map and an AO-question
Whilst im not a native Maya user, this is pretty much the approach to sub-d modelling. However, I find that usually a subdivision level of 2 (2 subdivides) should be fine. There are many workflows regarding the production of normal maps however expect most high polygon models to run into the hundreds of thousands. However,… -
Re: normal map help hardsurface modeling.
There is a way to 'cheat' said issue, and I did it some time ago, but not sure how well it will translate to UDK or any real-time asset at all. I basically chamfered my edges, but very slightly (on a copy model of my LP) and used that in xNormal to bake out my stuff. This meant the new chamfered edges had not UV, and I… -
Re: Upgrading display drivers funks with desktop icon arrangement
I wouldn't blame nvidia for a switch to some wack-pot low res... yell at MS who can't seem to update their base driver to include higher resolutions than what was available in 1992. Seriously MS take a 10 min away from re branding vista and add in every resolution known to man. I feel your pain when I would give… -
Re: Looking to buy an entry level DSLR, tips?
here's a question... I've been perusing the dslr market for a while, and while new is nice and fancy, I really can't see myself spending that much for something I'd use seldomly and experiment with mainly to gather reference from a distance. I have a standard 4mp PaS canon elph, what I'd like is something that I can burst… -
Re: x men age of a apocalypse
It wasn't bad, but I did feel that several questionable decisions were made vis-a-vis the story. I won't go too deep into these, as they would require some fairly significant spoilers. Bottom line, imagine the most generic take on the character of apocalypse, and the most generic solution for the X-Men to deal with that… -
Re: Portfolio Critique Please.
I'm gonna get nit picky given the last critiques. Bad, obvious texturing oversights are visible, Awnings aren't "textured' that way. That's not what most Shermans look like. This is what bothers me the most about ther tank piece. The rendering lacks a nicer lighting of say a 3 point set up, and the only details added seem… -
Re: Steampunk Bike
I think it looks very cool and didn't really look at rideability or anything... But construction wise the spokes would never hold up. You can probably get by with a radial pattern on a motorcycle as well as with a bicycle. However that just means straight from hub to rim. A spoke is just a tin bolt, the nipple is the nut.… -
Re: Cosmonautica - 3D work
The kitchen portholes look rather bland at the moment; I think they'd look better as star filled windows, with an occasional passing starship. The square nuts don't look right at all; if you can't replace them with a simple texture and you're polygon budget has already been spent, then I'd replace the 8 cubes with 6… -
Re: "They Don't Want You"
I disagree. Even mediocre guys who know how to play social media and work the crowfunding sites can easily gain access to capital they need to move forward their career goals. Just look at some winners of Kickstarter for proof. Just look at who's making monthly mortgage payments via self-publishing on Amazon. Youtube…
