I have a bit of a problem : Now, why am I trying to do this : I was thinking "hey, if I could interpolate texture based on the relative height of the surface textured compared to the height of the object, I could make objects such as trees and rocks dark on their basis and ligh on their tip, only I could use two textures…
Hey gang, So I'm having an issue on how to address this. I've tried more geo but it seems that I'll always come down to the same problem and thats supporting the inside edge of the boolean. As you'll see in my pictures if I support it vertically or horizontally I still get puckers along the base of my model. I've been…
One has to distinguish: Signed distance fields or functions does define some volume. Ray Marching is one possible algorithm to compute SDF's. Another possibility are voxels.. even if "rastered". One may say that the (original) metaballs are a very simple version of SDF.. only some radius around some ball centers…
I'm fairly new to Zbrush but I have learnt the basics and can move around. My problem is with using the MOVE tool to move around geometry. It just does not give me that precise result as with traditional poly modeling. Any advice or technique I'm missing?
I have been working on my roof, and I am considering two approaches to achieve results similar to No Rest for the Wicked. Since the game uses a top-down view, their roof tiles are quite flat because they don’t require much depth. However, this wouldn’t work in my environment, as I want it to work well from multiple angles.…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WE3_pqw-KNU&t=2s Hi everyone, I’ve been working on Hairflow, a specialized 2D tool designed to bridge the gap between sculpting high-fidelity hair and the tedious process of creating hair card textures for real-time engines. The philosophy is simple: Groom in 2D on a flat canvas, and bake…
Hey everyone! My name is Szymon and I’m a 3D Vehicle Artist from Poland. I’ve been focused mainly on automotive modeling, surfacing and rendering in Blender for the last few years. I also had the opportunity to work on vehicles for the game Japanese Drift Master. This is my first post on Polycount, so I wanted to share my…
So I've got both my hi and lo poly in gun model done in max. I want to take the hi model into zbrush to add damage etc using dynamesh. In order to reduce faceting upon import into zbrush I have up the open subdiv modifer to 5. This is making what is a pretty simple gun model hit millions of polygons. This doesn't feel…
