At the request of one of my models, she has asked that I make a step-by-step guide to the process I go through for recreating her for our series. I thought it was a great idea!! So, on our site, I'm creating such a blog...how I take a sweet, pretty young woman and digitally recreate her into a 3D bad-ass :) If you like…
In the past 2 months I've worked on this character(Mera from Justice League) during my streams. I have another fellow streamer (Sol4rdust) who's a technical artist and gonna rig her and then we will pose her and make some nice animations. He made a really nice plugin for rigging characters(especially inserting blendshapes…
Hey all! Hey all! I would like to get some feedback on this civil war era cannon. All images are rendered in Marmoset and you can rotate it in their viewer here - https://www.artstation.com/artist/tyleranlauf The textures are suppose to show wear over heavy use in a battlefield plus age through time. Feel free to critique…
Maya 2009 does not have the option to auto-refresh textures. One must manually refresh. NEX enables this feature. Is there a means of getting this feature without the need to buy and install NEX for those that only want this feature? I found this script with a search. What sucks is that the user has to manually enable the…
Hey hey, So I've been running into an error where while working with instanced objects for some reason I can't see things I select in sub-object mode. I can only see vertices. Not faces. Not edges. It even persists into unwrap uvw. The problem is not the shaded faces option which is enabled. I was just going to keep…
Hey hey guys, thanks for the encouragement. I'm still chugging away at this. I'm unwrapping and test baking as I go. And fixing all the little mistakes I find at the same time. It's getting pretty tedious now, with the Max crashing frequently and lots of hopping between heavy files... gotta grin and bear it. Or grin and…
@Olenka - too right! it's going to be a long time to finish! Thanks for the tip, I have already split her up, it's just my poor computer has been treated very poorly over the last year and is starting to struggle :D Finally had time to do a little bit more on Ghreg the ? - I can't wait to get into texturing her, getting…
No you're right, she is pretty thick considering my girlfriend, who's a tiny thing. I think I just have a lot of fun modeling chunky stylized girls and accidentally slipped into that! I'll work on cutting her proportions down to be more lean. I might get some body refs of her, I neglected to do it but it would make things…
Brynn Metheney does some awesome creature illustrations and has a gumroad breaking down muscles, bones, and how she lays down her structure. From the thumbnail it looks like just mammals, but her process looks pretty helpful! And it's not a book exactly, but there are 25 pages of pdf explaining everything.…
Got some clothes onto her, first time doing any form of clothes or armour so parts may be a little weird. I am trying to find a way of putting the rope that's currently across the shoulders in a believable place, I tried across the chest but this didn't look too nice aesthetically. I also started on some textures for her…
