Re: You're doing it wrong.
I do so many things backwards, hoping to find better ways with experience. That's how it works, I think. But for example, with props, I know most people make their highpoly models first, but I have been doing it the other way around: 1) make lowpoly out of various primitives, cutting and merging, keeping it clean, then… -
Re: Creating Rooms in 3DS Max
The question isn't a little basic but I think your explanation kinda is ;) It sounds like you're trying to apply a texture without spending too much time in the UV editor. If all the walls are to receive the same texture maps then a tiling texture would be the way to go. Now I really am not by any means a pro with tiling… -
Re: what to do when real life takes over
I generally try and do personal work that is different to whatever I'm doing at work in order to keep things interesting. So, if I'm doing a lot of industrial design in my day job then I will go home and do some zbrush sculpting or masters studies from Sargent or whatever. One thing I've found that keeps me 'hungry' for… -
Re: Latest Character
He is cool, VERY cool! Nice texture work, good use of space when you unwrapped. Great way to giving more important areas of the model bigger texture space. I would say this is up to industry standards EASY! Now for the crits: (I only mention them to make it better) -Design Flaws- - The second mask strop shoul go above the… -
Re: Workflow Improvement Thread
well done Abhishek. it's too bad you drew this one on lined paper, because i think it looks pretty good. i won't say i told you so (or chastise you for drawing thumbnails waaaay too big or drawing on lined paper ), but notice how much better he looks when you draw him at an angle instead of front-on? glad you took the time… -
Re: Consciousness Takes a Trip - MA project
Today I did the gigantic duffle bag using Marvelous Designer. I sculpted a super simple cuboid blob as the inside to give it some shape, then made the patterns. I used the same workflow that I did for the small bag, where I imported both the simulated mesh and the flat patterns into Max, created a morph target, then… -
Re: Looking for portfolio c&c
First of all, dump the custom site and get on Artstation. Schools are notorious for pushing the idea of a custom site but its just unnecessary. Out of the advice you've already been given this is the only bit I agree with... "... learn Unreal and put a bunch of environments together to display environment art and knowledge… -
Re: Tiling Floor Design
Thanks for the feedback guys, once again I am very new to floor design and modular pieces in UDK and 3D environments so excuse my noob questions. JadeEyePanda Thanks for the advice. I like you idea, but the picture I posted were to get the idea of what I'm going for across to you guys. My floor designs are actually quite… -
Re: Steel Beams, Girders, Steel Trusses - modeling, texturing, LOD's, advice and tips ?
@Mark, my initial approach was with Sweep mod as it have multiple advantages as you stated above. So far this workflow worked for me. @poopipe That's what I'm wondering, I do not want to bring UE to it's knees only due excessive draw call count so I'll be definitively looking into ways how to attach as much meshes as I can… -
