Re: Substance Painter questions
I'm not sure I'm understanding the problem you have. Textures/maps are just images cut to fit the model's unwrapped polygons (UV map). The rendering engine then takes those images and wraps them around the model as per the UV mapping, pixel by pixel. Which textures/maps are associated to which model is stored inside your… -
Re: [WIP] Amphibiman Bust
You might want to study the anatomy of similar creatures, and understand why they have evolved as they have. Your current model seems to be missing his nose. (How does he smell? Awful... thanks, folks! I'll be here all week! Try the fish!) Most amphibians (those from Earth, at least) have smooth skins, with the occasional… -
Re: Sub Tiling Texture
Thanks guys, Well the key to good tiling textures: If you notice a detail in the texture, you need to kill that, (the smaller the texture, the more you need to kill unique spots.) until you dont notice repetition anymore. Uniform looking textures are the best. and for the stone example that I used, as long as all your… -
Re: WIP Female Model
The HP sculpt looks cool. The obvious anatomical mistakes have been mentioned and you should definitely fix them :P(In MOP, you should sculpt ears as opposed to push them out of the scull and the elbows look too flimsy) Even if this is not the work you are going to present, you never know who might see it - might hurt your… -
Re: portfolio piece - sci-fi hallway
Personally, I always remodel stuff I don't like that has any hint of being difficult to alter. Especially high poly stuff. I sometimes start reshaping, altering an asset and realize I've spend 5 hours on something that took less to initially model. So if it was my door, I'd start again. You learn more, get faster and… -
Re: Amazing Renders: How?
Try to smooth the edges of right angles and add polygons/accents to those. Good examples are close-ups in architectural renderings (raytraced, non-realtime) where if you notice, most of the hard angles are smooth. Why? They add geometry more to those areas than to flat walls. For an interactive real time example, there is… -
Re: Single Map Directional Lightmap. How to bake?
In the past I've read about someone storing directional light intensities in R,G,B of a single texture (as KRFC mentioned) and then the averaged light color in the vertices of the world meshes. You would still have to bake lighting 3 times (in the HL basis vector directions) to get the directional intensities + once more… -
Re: Failed Riot Animation Test - Please Crit
The best way I can describe the animation from the attack is "floaty." While it has a good rhythm to it, the snappiness that they are looking for is not there. There is almost too much lead up to the attack (and by that I mean the jump and float not the running). The best thing I can think of as an example of snappy… -
Re: [WIP] Samus Aran, Zero Suit - Stylized PBR fan art
Hey guys! Thanks for the replies and feedback, I appreciate it a lot. @slosh I should be able to push some vertices on the low model, the arms lenght (mostly the forearm I think) and knee width then. @pior That's a cool technique, I'm definitely using it on her asap! The eyebrows are already darker than the hair, but… -
Re: Learning the Nintendo style
Just get started. Get your design/concept done in such a way that it is indistinguishable from the Mario stuff ; then build the corresponding assets so that they are indistinguishable from the ones in the game screenshots. You have access to a great art guide already, since you have access to a full game showing every…
