Well here's the thing about art. I had the same question as you in the past, and I asked my friend what he thought about it. Basically what he told me is that art drives everything around us, because lets face it, there will always be a need for it. Art inspires, motivates, and drives people to do things. Humans like art…
That sounds like scripting work. Which means dev time. One easy fix would be to set a limit on the number of characters per post. Currently this is 40000, probably too high. But that doesn't limit # of images. Also setting the limit to something like say 1500 characters is likely going to piss some people off, and…
You need to change the material Blend Mode of materials with transparency if you're using Eevee + use Screen Space Reflections / Refraction depending on what you're doing. You also need a World to be reflected in first place. On an unrelated note: I don't mean to be a jerk or anything, but next time please try to give the…
Hi thank you so much for your response I figured it out and another person helped me with that But still one small error is there it seems hard for me. Any Idea? ERROR ( // Error: line 12: Flags must come before objects: -ed ) { string $sn = `file -q -sn`; string $cfp = `dirname( $sn )`; if (`window -exists…
Been a while since I've posted an update, but here's the latest and greatest. I've changed the wood pattern to one with a more distinct grain and richer colors. The layers of dust on the top were increased and I threw in some finger marks to add more character, as though someone was clearing the dust to check the condition…
one idea that gives OK results for ground cover is to break your leaf texture into greyscale then enhance the contrast and use a "cutout" filter in photoshop to reduce it to just a few levels. You can then use this limited level version in the alpha channel. Set an if node to have one input be the alpha version channel and…
Like others have said, I would build a pc that costs only 1300-1500 bucks and upgrade/build a new one in 2-3 years. This way you get a lot more bang for the buck. But if you really want to spend your $4000 at once you could go with something like the following: CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2687W v2 (8 Cores, 16 Threads, 3400 Mhz) -…
looks like unwrella for zBrush hmm I am not a fan of these idiot UV tools that automate everything. Maybe nice for the lazy person and tech noob so that he can more focus on the artistic side - but even this has its limits (like non control- able seams) and its just a small improvement at first but at a whole not always…
Gimp can do most of the things Photoshop can do. It's got a single-window mode by now so floating window mess is history. Vanilla Gimp isn't terribly good for painting with a tablet, but there are smaller external programs that can take that role. I personally like Mypaint. Gimp and Mypaint share the .ora (open raster)…
All you're missing is a torus and a teapot! But seriously now... If I come across as harsh, I apologise in advance. The model looks like you made it out of cones and cylinders, which is fine. But when the geometry still looks like cones and cylinders, then something isn't right. Armour is very modular and made up of lots…
