Re: Blacksmith shop PBR
The scratches on the roof are a little over done, I doubt that place sees a lot of traffic. The wooden surfaces overall look pretty decent. The rings on the barrel look like they are floating a little and the wooden parts don't feel like they were made from separate parts. Maybe try to boost the normal map so that the… -
Re: How to polypaint in ZBrush?
"- Do you paint on the finished ZBrush sculpture on the highest sub division?" Yes, the resolution of your model should be higher or at the least match the resolution of the texture you want to export. For each vertex you get a single vertex color, so a 1024x1024 size texture has about a mllion pixels so you want a similar… -
Re: Website portfolio layout critique
Simple is always better. A portfolio doesn't need flash or pizzazz to make a striking impression your art should do that for you. If I were in your shoes, I'd do one of two things. 1. Have one page dedicated to all your art that just continues to scroll down. 2. Have image links of your art that link to pages dedicated to… -
Re: Zeth's WIP stuff
I came across something frustrating today, but I solved it, and it might help others, so here it is! I've been working on scale and webbed spines IMM. Somehow, the points weren't welding, even though 'weld curve points' was toggled. Apparently, this was because my scales were 1-faced. I try to keep my IMM as lightweight as… -
Re: Question on Light Maps and Vertex Lighting
It may seem like a contradiction, but adding 20 more triangles to a mesh will always be WAY cheaper than having a dynamic light, especially on a mobile device. The intent here is not to make all of your geometry subdivided or higher resolution, it's to only add geometry where you really need it (for example, where you may… -
Re: Dilapidated church/warzone hospital
hey there, great concept. and i like the visual style of your scene! the colors match those parts of the concept very well that are in full sunlight that is coming through the window. the shadows are much greener and more grimy, though. the main issue i see here, however, is scale and proportion. the height of the nave… -
Re: From High res to height map to normal. Oh my.
Normal maps allow the artist 100% control over the lighting within geometry, which are far more powerful than bump maps which only allow the hinting of raised/lowered areas inside the face. This also allows vertices to be saved as some surfaces that would require a double vertex to create a hard edge can be lit by a normal… -
Re: Portfolio update
Here's a little something I dag up a couple of days ago. The model is very near and dear to me, because, first of all, this is one of my favorite characters of all time, and secondly - it's one of my fist characters that I've created. Made this guy back in 2007 but decided to give him a little make over. I'm planning to… -
Re: Female Ranger Portfolio Piece
Gotta admit; im super disappointed I didnt see a female power ranger in this thread :| lol, but seriously the folds are super intense on the sleeve ans boots Yes your ref is littered with folds on the boots, but it still has areas of sharp intense folds and larger softer creases/folds Ontop of that, it also looks pretty… -
Re: Script to select overlapping UVs?
Make sure you deselect everything first before running "select overlapping". If you don't, I think it only checks what you have selected for overlapping polygons. Since you're using max you don't have to offset them, 3dsmax has uvW, where other editors are just U(vertical) and V(horizontal), 3dsMax has W(depth). Which…
