Re: Wet surfaces
Wet surface..that's kinda hard. What I can think of right now is look for a shader (assuming you want to preview it in Max viewport) that support cube map, for example Xoliulshader or 3PointShader, and play around withe the reflection/ fresnel/ spec setting to achieve the desired result. It's tricky though, I haven't done… -
Re: HL2 Anyone got it? First impressions?
Meh, Gauss was right. I'm going to complain again. Just one more time. Must all Zombies have white shirts and jeans? And was anyone dissapointed in the retail packaging? $55 for no manual and no case. Just 5 cd's in slip covers and a keyboard layout card. I did get a bew Dx9 card, and have found most of the texture… -
Re: best./easiest 3D program?
I definetly prefer 3dsmax, but that's because I've been using it for 6 year now. Gmax is also a good starter tool. I personally started off 3D by learning Lightwave, which is actually quite easy to learn. You'll need to customize the UI right away though, since there is a plethora of useless commands there (unless you're… -
Re: Another portfolio for critique
the layout will probably please most visitors, what with the left frame having thumbnails and the main frame showing stuff in fullres. but I don't feel like the models are up to par with todays standards. now sure, todays standards are super high and I myself don't have anything to say about it, but the first image on the… -
Re: Sketchbook: Terrorcouple
Ged: Thank you, and I appreciate the note on his leather strap! I have been looking at this concept so long and intently that I never noticed it should have one. I will try to work that into the high poly. Sage: Thanks for your comment. I will play with a more angular shape for the shell on his back and see how it looks. I… -
Re: First post ever.
well I vaguely remember seeing the pics you posted. I disagree on the idea you step away from 3d in favor for traditional. I'm not the best of 2d artist, but I make up for it in 3d. So the idea that you become a master of traditional arts before you dive into 3d is a tad silly. You can do both at the same time. :) You… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | March - April (77)
Made a very basic blockout to get layout and proportions outlined also wanted to test lighting and fog in unreal. Think I'm next going to try making a large texture that most of the textures will be based on and see how successful this can be before doing much more modelling. Trying to create it starting in zbrush and… -
Re: Working on my portfolio looking for feedback.
For setting up your portfolio, I think Artstation is still the way to go. Even with all of the stuff around AI it's still a convenient way to find people and is simply designed with art at the forefront. When myself and others get job applicants, we often go straight to Artstation and type in a person's name. Your models… -
Re: 3dcoat seems superior to zbrush in every way?
It's not that good, unless it's taken some huge strides since last time I saw it. The voxel sculpting is really convenient, but lacks clarity, unless you go high res in which case you'd have similar problems to just starting at a high dynamesh res. Means you get a similar feeling at times, but you don't get the convenience… -
Re: UE4 gpu lightmap baker??
Yes, I was just curious. I've been using Blender myself for a little while, playing around when I get a chance. EEVEE is amazing. You can download Blender 2.8 nightly build and try it yourself. I'm very impressed with Blender. It's a terrific program. Incredible to think that it's only 100-odd meg and loads in 2 seconds.…
