But once i come to the point where i have to sculpt things i will make use of the video. Thanks. @thepapercut Yeah the arms a mess i know i will have too redo them. I just..… -
Re: Rigged/Skinned Model Scale Scripts?
Here's what I do and it works pretty well. Bake and save out the skin weights. Remove skin Scale the skeleton, if its a custom bone rig then don't scale but use Animation > Bone Tools to reposition the joints. If its biped, enter figure mode and adjust the height. Scale the mesh to match the new skeleton Reset scale… -
Re: Substance! Where do I start?!
Rogelio's Gnomon tutorial helped me tremendously to get into SD. Watch at least the basic tutorials on the Allegorithmic site before you dive into other tutorials tho. You can download Substances on Substance Share and check out the graphs to learn from them. I would remind my beginner self that there is a sharpen node in… -
Re: Input On Some Art Theory
Great input thanks. The commercial distinction probably needs to be stressed, and I agree this is art philosophy which doesn't really have a place in studio. I may not include this in core introduction and instead just offer it as supplemental material. We might do an art philosophy workshop at some point I think this… -
Re: Working with tiling mats in UE4.
For the decals: Actually there was no way for recreating the star citizen method with the default possibilities in UE, BUT if you can understand the logic, there are no limits. Nodes give you mid range freedom, and if you can utilize this well, you can pretty much reverse engineer them, as I did. My method works in UE. I'd… -
Re: "Thumbnailing"
Ninjas, could you elaborate on how you feel thumbnailing is counterproductive to functional design? I don't thumbnail much either, ESPECIALLY on the mechanical designs I've done, but I don't see it as being mutually exclusive to function whatsoever. The knowledge it takes to draw functional thumbnails (restricting yourself… -
Re: Ice Cream Truck WIP
I really like where this is going. But overall, your Uv's need to be cleaner/tighter. For one, I would suggest working with a neutral background color to your texture. Having pink metal/paint, on a gray background is no good, when it comes to the texture mipping (down sizing due to draw distance/resolution settings)What… -
Re: Zbrush: Seamless Patterns On Clothes
If you keep the UV borders inline with the clothing's natural seams, a slight break in the pattern at these locations should be more natural and unnoticeable if it comes to that. Its 2am here at the moment so I can't exactly muster the mind power to think of how a honeycone pattern might try and wrap seamlessly from… -
Re: Photoshop Actions
Yeah, I started using actions last year for saving out merged TGA files while working on PSD textures that weren't supported in the model viewer I was using. Just hit F12 and it saved a nice TGA for me, much faster than going through the menus. I've used actions for some layer effects before too, just simple stuff like… -
Re: Environment - untitled (updated)
I guess it's too late to comment on this since you're pretty happy with it :) but I agree with the comments posted earlier about certain elements of this feel "quick". The lighting and coloring of the scene is nice but the pipes and door look low res and gamey. I understand that it's just a simple door and they're just…
