Took a break from the sculpting since I have spent too much time on it. Did some bake tests, and am working on prototyping the glass material. My references have very wide and even specular sources which makes the glass appear much more diffuse than it really is. I did find a single additional image that has better detail:…
That sort of research/thinking is key to getting a believable look. if this is an 'in service' weapon for an actual military I don't think it would be allowed to get into this state - you'd revarnish or replace parts before it happened and I'm positive you wouldn't let anything get rusty (rusty bits stop gun shooting). If…
When projecting a normal map above a normal map can I fully replace the below normal with the top normal map (all on the same layer) ? I used a cross-normal-map in the example, I thought when I draw the first cross, then paint over a second cross, the second cross will fully replace the first cross... but this is not the…
Cutting some corners for time but I'm happy with how this is turning out, especially considering it's my first project in Blender. Doing this project last minute has been a fantastic crash course on the tool. I have a long list of items I'd like to spend more time working on but this will do for the Sept. 1st deadline.…
just beat hard on drums last night. freaking awesome. Next to you's intro and all of the Iron Maiden song are ridiculous. edit: so I just got my replacement drums in. kind of funny and annoying considering I sent out for a replacement guitar over a week earlier. Also, they sent me TWO replacement drums.... kinda funny…
Hey there everyone, before I release my new reel into the wild to attempt to land my first industry role I am hoping to get some feedback be it good or bad to ensure I am showing myself off the best I can. Do not be afraid to be harsh, if something is hindering my chances I will remove or replace it. Does the order and…
Welcome to the Concept Thread for the next Monthly Environment / Prop Challenge! It's time for our round of voting for March and April. To clarify, this thread will be replaced by the official WIP / Challenge thread on Friday, March 2nd once the vote count is in and the concepts have been selected. Please wait to post your…
This looks like a really solid project. Will no doubt be fun and it seems you are doing a lot of things right. For the block out though, It feels a little bit like you are rushing it. I would recommend spending another couple of hours trying to push the framing and composition of the block out, aim your sun and do a rough…
I am modeling in Blender to use the meshes in UE5. The walls and cliffs that bound the scene should be made with a plane with displacement (high poly baked into low poly) or should it be a 3d object? I am talking about meshes that we will only see from one face, we will not be able to go around them. A plane would mean…
Hi, here is the geometry I am trying to replicate, the original doesn’t flute out at the top of the central columns but for my own take on it I wanted the central bits to flute out and merge together
