Re: Could someone please provide feedback on my topology?
I'm also retopoing a sculpt, thought i'd share my approach see if it's helpful and also if it has problems. This was to get a tidier sculpt base than my initial dynamesh I started out with after i'd got to a good enough point. As I know, if you're retoping from a completed sculpt and the retopo is for baking onto,… -
Re: Halo Missile Turret (WIP)
If anyone was curious, this is what he's basing the turret off of: It looks nice, but the lack of detail in the middle is really throwing off the look of the high poly. I'm sure you want to save some stuff to do after you bake, but I would try to put as much of those little details in the middle as you can to really make… -
Re: Accuracy International - AS50
like many hard surface textures, the biggest problem right now is that you don't have any basic materials down, making the whole thing look like the same exact gray. study reference obsessively and plot the materials down using only flat colors on all your texture maps before adding any wear. so, take a step back and make… -
Re: Larch Tree Charlie Brown?
@steppenwolf I did neglect to refer to my reference after building the branches. < So great point there! :D Here's some of the reference I was looking at. Though, looking at these again, the one i need to make is less wild growing, and more kept like in a town. @Steppenwolf Also, if I bake the mesh and texture detail, i'll… -
Re: Vray + UDK= Archviz
ok folks this is what i have for you all (in theory) as I cant try on my laptop :D , well since Vray now have realtime rendering feature but still it takes ages for final render it came in my head that before all that RT stuff in Vray the other way around was to not render the actual scene but rotate camera at certain… -
Re: Marmoset Toolbag 2 | Tutorials
The base highpoly was modeled in modo, all the main components etc were done there. Then I brought it into mudbox to do the welds, and to beat up the main shape (give it a hammered look). Lowpoly and uvs were done in modo. Normal map and color mask bakes were done in Maya, hard edges were set to the UV seams. Tangent space… -
Re: Worlds worst normal map. What have I done wrong?
I think even before you start baking normal maps, you need to practice more with modeling high poly characters. I know it's not the exact answer you're looking for, but you need to improve every step of the way instead of taking shortcuts. As for the actual normal map errors, I believe there are a series of problem that… -
Re: I need some clarifications on normal maps and tangent spaces
You should always ask your client whether their pipeline allows custom normals or not. They may want you to avoid custom normals even if their pipeline allows it, because it's easy to destroy custom normals in Max if you're not careful, making it more difficult for them to make changes to your deliverables if they need to.… -
Re: Learning Diary - Zbrush Sculpting for Characters and Creatures.
I know it's been a while again, and you guys are thinking "oh man this dude gave up on 3d again", and rightfully so. But this time i actually went away for what i think its a good reason, here's why: In the past months i was only training sculpting, which i really like, but in the last month i was thinking "How on earth… -
Re: poops substance fiddling thread
i did this primarily because I'm going to need it at work on monday but it's a neat enough trick that it's worth sharing here generally speaking I don't do a lot with fx-maps. most things can be done better in pixel processors if you apply enough maths but in this instance I will need to take advantage of their inherent…
