Re: Aldo's First Post
To 'bigger shapes', specifically, I just meant the larger forms of every part of it. Less lines/details, more forms. I wouldn't really know whether realism or stylized would be easier to practice on, but I imagine either would work. -
Re: Need some feedback on cloth modeling - Zombie dude!
I'd check out this book. "Dynamic Wrinkles and Drapery: Solutions for Drawing the Clothed Figure" [ame]http://www.amazon.com/Dynamic-Wrinkles-Drapery-Solutions-Practical/dp/0823015874[/ame] Really helpful in understanding weight, tension, and structure of draped materials. -

Re: Trying to figure out how this large asset was textured...
Probably something like that. But it doesn't have so much unique detail it could even be trim tex for base and masks/decala on top. It is not a good practice in any scenario to texture such a large object as unique. The pixelation from close would be very visible. -
Re: (WIP) Piece of cake handpainted
The Cake is a Lie! ehem, I think you have pushed it as far as you can. No matter what you are planning for it, I would go ahead and make more food stuffs. Gives you more practice and looks better for demoreel or something. -
Re: Sketchbook: z0ltan

Re: high frequency normal maps
Take a look at the Viking Village demo in Unity, they did a nice job with detail maps for their wood structures. You can dl it and examine in detail how it was done. http://blogs.unity3d.com/2015/02/18/working-with-physically-based-shading-a-practical-approach/ -
Re: [MAYA] My ShaderFx Uber Shader v2
Thank you for the pointers... another quick question... How beneficial it is for me to use the ShaderFx over the Hypershade? especially that my final output is simply a playblast out of Maya? Couldn't I practically do everything I need in Hypershade? Thank you -
Re: Slow or Obsessive?
Also, speed comes through mastery of what you're doing. You don't learn to go fast, you learn to do whatever you're doing well. Speed is a result of repetition and practice. Just focus on learning if you're new. The speed will come.
