Re: 24" + inch monitor choice
Eq: 1920x1080 res at 32" doesn't look bad at all, there's no stretched pixels/aliasing and 1080p movies look great. Working on the smaller 20-24" screens gives me this weird tunnel vision effect when ever I work on big/detailed models. For me, it's hard to zoom out and view all the details properly on a model on a smaller… -
Re: Alex's High Poly Improvement Thread
I am the same way, I remember in my drawing classes and holding the pencil out to visualize the object was always the most challenging part I got to bogged down by the minor details and end up filling the page with 75% of the object When I started the hard surface challenges I barely thought I could do the beginner from… -
Re: Graphic Tablet for skulpting in Zbrush
I got a cheap tablet and it did everything it said it would but felt clunky and my drawing was hampered by it. I bought a Wacom Intuous 3 about 7 years ago and it was a massive leap. I still draw better with pencils and papers but this came a lot closer. Ultimately it's its own medium. I would never recommend buying a… -
Re: Why do you do what you do?
I don't even look at it as a choice really. I don't do this because I want to, I do this because I have to. It's just not possible for me to not be doing art. It's also how I got into this, I had access to a life-drawing class and did it for fun, and just couldn't stop. Then I found out about GA and PC and realized that I… -
Re: Sketchbook: UE4 Visualisation.
I realised my apartment wont be visually impressive, and in the real world you don't get the option to measure the home to the millimetre. So instead I'm trying to build this: I managed to find 5 layout plans (3 levels, 2 front, 1 side, 1 back) which is slowly allowing me to decypher this absolutely ridiculous house. I… -
Re: The Cossack
Dude, this is shaping up to be an ultimate piece!!! I hope you dont mind man i made a scribble here with some thoughts! I think these might be some things you could do to the actual mesh and some texture bits too. 1) rotate one of the eye sockets ever so slightly, and increase the size of both eyes just a little. 2)… -
Re: [Chivalry] - Saber- Infidel's Bane
That damascus steel look is realy cool tbh, would wonder how armor would look with it. Damascus steel is realy interesting btw "A research team in Germany published a report in 2006 revealing nanowires and carbon nanotubes in a blade forged from Damascus steel.[5] This finding was covered by National Geographic[6] and the… -
Re: Derringer Philadelphia
SimonT: thanks man :) It is kind of tiny isnt it. Endomi:Cheers, yeah the details are carved using a couple of methods. the main being. 1: unwrap the basic mesh. 2: convert the flattened uvs to a mesh (I use headus uvlayout but there are maxscripts to do it). once you have a mesh in a flat state and a 3d state you can… -
Re: Book Recommendations?
Since you mentioned you're currently using Maya, this one called 3D Animation with Maya 7 written by Patricia Beckmann and Phil Young may come in really useful. This one gives you step by step tutorials and goes through all the major tools needed to animate in Maya - graph editor, the dope sheet, walk cycles. Apart from… -
Re: Dota 2 workshop monthly competition - MARCH
Quoted from the Workshop Thread: Should definitely have a pool of heroes this time instead of bombarding the workshop with one. Perhaps vote down to 3-5 out of the heroes who don't have sets. Heroes with no sets (But are workshop supported): (# of items) - Name (0) - Alchemist (0) - Batrider (5) - Brewmaster (0) - Centaur…
