Re: Zbrush poly painting sub tools workflow
Are you talking about you have to freeze subdivisions to do an insert mesh? If so after you do the Insert you can then go back and unfreeze the subdivisions so you can continue to increase or reduce as you see fit. Also can look into Dynamesh as a means of producing the mesh you want and then zremesh or manual retopo to… -
Re: BSP maps (brushes) vs pure meshes
For scale, you always need to start with character height. Default Unreal character height I believe, is 96 units. From there, just make sure your Max units are set the same way. Then start building your modular bits as proxies - simple box shapes - just to get proportions down. You can either import and test those in… -
Re: Maya: Vertex Normal precision errors when smoothing mesh causing normal map artifacts
So I get the precision errors when creating the model the way you did, but I don't think that is the issue, because I baked the same models in xNormal with a perfectly smooth bake no weird artifacts. So maybe there is something fucked up with transfer maps? I noticed this awhile back when baking a weapon of mine, and got… -
Re: Forza Motorsport 4
Ok.. was gonna rant, but I want to ask this first of everyone else: Outside of the higher-revving higher-end cars, does the exhaust sound good at all? One of my continuing gripes with the Forza series has been the exhaust notes and engine revving just being a droning noise. Is it just my setup or am I not the only one that… -
Re: Vertex Count vs Triangle Count
1. So technically for those 2 models, the vertex count would be the same, and would stay the same if you unwrapped them as strips, unwrapping this object in that way would introduce stretching that might be unacceptable to some. So while doing the 2nd one as a frontal projection, with the side pieces separated wouldn't… -
Re: Building my portfolio website, but i need help!
Just learn some css/html. You can nick ideas\html from other peoples sites and work it into something original of your own. Look at the simple portfolio template someone did, and continue it. Its really not that hard, and it means you can get exactly what you want. Id also look at varous templates, and layout grids to get… -
Re: COMPLETED! UE4 Environment: Tales from the Loop - Simon Stalenhag
Ok... built a few more props to fill in the gaps as mentioned by @jStins , continued filling up the open areas with scrap, painted in some of the decal'd landscape materials a little more.... I think - hopefully - I can just about call this done, but please, as ever - any and all feedback is welcome before I start pulling… -
Re: My Character Work
I think i'm done, just need more clean up later. Dropped the element, because i don't know how to tackle them (I've tried, but looks bad). The pose is basically based on one of the scene in the finale. Got any critique or suggestion, just throw it at me :) I really wanted to continue my Shyvana, and Clementine, but my mind… -
Re: Sketchbook: Jean-Luke Parshall
been continuing to work on capturing images from my imagination and accurately portraying them on paper (more or less) Also picked up more computer science grading work so that is keeping me really busy. That and procrastination on largish projects until the last second. But I always seem to get them done on time with a… -
Re: GDC 2015: Next Gen Pipelines Presentation
Pavlovich, what a fantastic talk! As an aspiring tech artist who has an interest in proceduralism and tools, this makes me very excited at the possiblities. The fact it's all in python (if I read that correct earlier) too tells me I should continue to learn that. Can't wait for the extended version if you are able to do…
