Re: New Here
Ok, my specialty isnt modelling, and i suck at texturing, but from what i can tell is your main issue right now is UV layout. I dont know what your texture size is, but the reason it looks so blurry as low resolutions is because you arent effectively using your UV space. I did a really quick mushroom like yours, just to… -
Re: Whats most commenly used and why (maya vs 3ds max)
This is the best kind of advice and the one I use to most when talking to people. I've always been a believer of understanding and learning some of the artistic foundation skills, together with a 3D software, as (imo) the software will only be as good as the person operating it. One of the main things to remember is that… -
Re: Noob Learning Challenge, Dark Aribeth (NSFW)
6. Highpoly Sculpting - Getting Started There are a few rules and practices I adhere to when sculpting in ZBrush, so Ill start by sharing a few. Firstly, you should concentrate on the initial forms and silhouette of your sculpture. This means staying on lower subdivisions, and making the Move Brush your best friend! If… -
Re: [WIP] Witch's swamp lair - Handpainted Environment
@Larry: Good point on the background. I wanted to do it but wasn't sure how to approach it. Will fix it. They said the same thing about the windows, and quite frankly I felt the same way a bit. My initial reasoning was green= work space in the house, red= living space but in the end it felt too forced and out of place. The… -
Re: Newbie needs help with 3DS Max!
It jumps? odd, I think these 3d programs are designed to pivot around a selected object or by the world space by default ... or most recent position ... so i think you need to select something and click on the option for recentering your viewport nav thing ... sorry this isnt very concise, its actually been a while since… -
Re: Taking games seriously
Apparently he said that. The point I'm using it to make is that to ask whether or not it can be serious is to pretty much conform to the notion that it is not because there are others that do not and as a collective label it such. I prefer to simply decide for myself what it serious and valuable, or even what could be… -
Re: About Pixel Art
This sort of thing kinda goes into why people still really love how certain early 3D games look. Einhander, Megaman Legends 1 and 2, that one Wile E. Coyote game for the playstation. All these games use a lot of managed color tones, and in the case of the latter 2 examples, flat shading to achieve a style that goes beyond… -
Re: Gameloft accused of illegal, dangerous working conditions
It's obviously within their rights to sell a studio, I'm not objecting to that, merely explaining that when you have a system that allows the accumulation of capital at the top (EA, Ubi, Activision) they are going to have the financial power to muck around with other actors in the market, and not to the benefit of the… -
Re: RGCA - Best One-Minute Movie/Best Use of iClone - Adolf
Reply by Adolf · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Reallusion Game Character Animation ContestScene 14 - The Freight Column This project is trickier than it seems because, at the moment, Reallusion has not included the "drop shadow" feature in iClone6, so I cannot put props over a background image and project simulated shadows over this background. So I should put a floor prop that received the shadows and merged… -
Re: Best programs to build concepts with
Why do so many initial question ask for 'best' !? Why not ask 'what is a good...' as there is no such thing as a best, anyway my push in this thread: Alchemy: http://boards.polycount.net/showthread.php?t=52370 http://al.chemy.org/ [ame] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYYSxZZzgjc[/ame] Is in my opinion a good path because…
