Tools are getting better and better and faster to work - which makes non-artist without artistic skills to create nice good looking 3d art. For example, 13 years ago when u needed body, u needed to sculpt it from scratch knowing anatomy, make textures, make shader, paint human skin (which was super hard) in order to get…
Hey gang, In the process of getting ZBrush 4r6 and I was looking at videos of panel loops and the curve brushes. How effective are they for hard surface modeling? Take for example, this armor that I'm working on for this character:
Long shot, but I'm hoping someone in this community might be able to help with a preservation project. Chromacolour (the UK-based animation supply company behind the cel paints used on films like *Who Framed Roger Rabbit*) sold three digital color palettes up until around 2012: - **Series 100** — 600 colors - **Series…
It's been a loooong time since I used Dreamscape. I only recall carefully adjusting my rendered frame range to match the wave frequency. It does loop perfectly. Most video players do not play looping videos perfectly, they add a pause. Quicktime is the best at this I think. For the height map render, I applied a sideways…
Jesus christ, thanks so much, especially @FrankPolygon! My issue with support loops is that with lots of different details it becomes kind of a puzzle to resolve everything into another in the end, and i'm working on my portfolio right now and need some good looking topology, although i know that even ngons or tris could…
Assuming this has really good pictures and a commercial licence cost something like a day's pay for a senior artist you could make a decent business case if you were building something that needed a load of heavy machinery looking models. Good luck with it
Is there a member function or function in maxscript to do the same as pressing the button in the Unwrap_UVW modifier panel "Unfold strip from loop"? I have looked over the maxscript help file but can't seem to find the solution. Any assistance with this would be appreciated.
That is the one I was looking at! It's pretty great. I'm definitely feeling more confident knowing that I've been doing it this way as well. It just takes a good chuck of time making all of that additional geo, but I guess as long as you use shortcut keys for connect/looping/swift loops and using mirroring/symmetry it will…
Hello everybody, I'm modifying a script I've used in the past and am running into issues. The goal is to have a for loop that creates a StingrayPBS shader, then checks the "Use Color Map" attribute. The pain point is that the "Use Color Map" attribute doesn't seem accessible until after the loop is completed. I run the…
Hello, my name is Richard Goodmon and I'm currently looking for animation work, either full time or part time. I'm confident animating in Maya and Blender, and am able to rig basic characters in Maya if necessary. I live in New Zealand, hoping time zones won't be an issue. Here is a link to my showreel;…
