Re: Male Assasin
Hey, thanks for your feedback. Depending on your current knowledge in Character Modeling I can recommend you a few things. I've learned a lot about sculpting in ZBrush from the streams of "RuN". Not sure if he usually does these, but here's the twitch link with a few VoDs: http://www.twitch.tv/run__ Zbrushcentral also has… -
Re: Anatomical figurines.
Man that's expensive... for that kind of price they better sell real organs (I shit you not, you can get a real human skull on ebay for that price). You can go the digital route. I believe the second Scott Spencer zBrush book comes with a DVD that has several ecorche zBrush models on it. Much cheaper, and I'd argue you're… -
Re: Exploded mesh for bake in Mudbox?
one method you can do is to do the exploding in 3dsmax for both low and high poly export it out as obj/fbx. Import into mudbox as a sculpt layer. That way you can toggle it on and off. From my experience, mudbox doesn't bake well with really low poly meshes especially sharp angles. You could add bevels to the low poly as a… -
Re: Sketchbook: William Mitchell
Hi, just posting a quick concept of my next model. It is a concept I drew of a banana tree. I want to make it stylized with painted textures and looking to model it stylized exagerating proportions of the bananas and flower to show its a banana tree in game. I am going to start off with the stock and maybe instance two… -
Re: Not Your Average Software Debate
3D studio max seems the easiest to learn and most forgiving. It's less complex than Maya (no history, no complex node management) and more intuitive. Especially for modeling the modifier-based workflow is pretty well suited for a beginner and for a clear and logical step by step approach. I actually started and taught… -
Re: Normal map seam for games

Re: Problems with lowPoly tree
Solution depends on your modeling software, and your engine. I solved this in 3dsmax by using the Edit Normals modifier, and the game engine had support for user-edited vertex normals. Here's a picture. Another solution would be to disable lighting completely (like your left tree), and use vertex color to add shading. You… -
Re: Feedback on my uni work pleaseeee
Hey there welcome to polycount, The highpoly tank looks good, some higher resolution screenshots would be appreciated with some images of the texture sheets you are using (diffuse, normals) so that we can have a good look at normal map. On the other hand, I'd suggest to use UDK instead of UT3. UDK has an up to date version… -
Re: War Beast - Hipoly Character
Updated Hires render! :-=Warhead=- - I hope I had zillion hours of time to waste - Just used 2 hours last night for importing the mesh to 3dsmax.... i also set smoothing groups to all 50 objects - i think i will change smoothing groups to micro bevels, to get proper curved edges/bumps to leatherbelts... - i think i will… -
Re: Creatively nocturnal?
Before I started working in the industry, I used to work till about 5 or 6 in the morning. I did this for about 5 years (Really messes your head up) I now work nine to five texturing heads, then come home and chat to the missus, go for a meal sometimes. I stil work at home, though I do do the all nighters anymore. I found…
