Re: gfx pet peeves
The glowing nostril thing is one of my biggest gfx peeves, yeah. I almost always just paint that area of the diffuse mega-dark. Random lumps that are supposed to pass for "cloth". Obvious usage of simple PS filters, such as emboss or plastic wrap **shudder**. -
Re: Old timey guns-- crits are awesome
If these are for third person, 2048 is way too big and even 1024 is a stretch. Your polygon counts are also very high for third person. The diffuse textures seem a bit too... textured. The Thompson receiver looks like stone, and the 1911 looks like marble. -
Re: Colt M4 Carbine for Unity
You don't need to have noise in the diffuse channel. In reality gun surfaces tend to be quite a uniform colour, the trick is to use the specularity to add noise and interest to a material. Try making the colour much flatter, and using the specularity for noise, and describing the surface material. -
Re: Zbrush3 Annoyances... need a little help please.
[ QUOTE ] i still havent figured out how to paint colour directly onto the mesh to give me a rough diffuse bake to start whoring in photoshop... any suggestions? [/ QUOTE ] projection master on the top left, then just grabdoc from your texture -
Re: panther ausf G.

Re: Low Poly GunBlade
use some fake reflection shapes to start ( bands of colour for a cylinder, wide bands at jaunty angle for flat, vanishing point for cone etc), if this is diffuse only, then just start warping them over the shape, finally tighten up using hand painting. -
Re: PreHistoric-Futuristic helmet...
Here is what it looks like so far... I applied the normal map(which has to be retouched), diffuse and specular to come, combined with DirectX9 Metal and Glow. Here is the Hi-Poly: Still hope you'll like it... (Yes, I'm hangin on!) See you -
Re: How about MidJourney or other AI art
It's just another pencil. It will shake the artists world up for sure, with Stable Diffusion being free even more. But it will never make artists obsolete. It's still the artist that creates the art. The downside of AI generated art is that the pencil is sometimes not willing to paint what the painter really wants. It's a… -
Re: Best software for weight painting?
I have made this pluging for blender: https://joseconseco.github.io/WeightPaintToolsDocs/main_pie/ It is quite simple, but gets the job done. And there is this addon form another dev: https://blendermarket.com/products/voxel-heat-diffuse-skinning That gives you better starting weights, compared to default blender… -
Re: First time normal mapping a character - WIP
Well I found out what the seam issue was... turns out there was still one uv island sneakily remaining flipped. Flip back, rebake, no more seam. :D I've been working on the diffuse and specular, mostly been working on the lower body. Crits welcome!
