I've been feeling discouraged from making stuff and posting, but I'm trying to make an effort again. The main issue with all my models is inability to adequately pose them: they have a tendency to break in a way that I can't quite fix. The legs become too short for sitting poses, the arm twists break silhouettes, the…
Hey Synaesthesia. It seems that Quixel is not to blame in this instance. I think there was something wrong with my mesh, other models are working. I did some more testing on the non-working mesh and it seems the 'brush' is stuck in the center. I still can't paint on it, but I can rotate and adjust the size of the brush and…
That floor tile has got to go. It's too high contrast, and has far too much directional lighting painted in for a ground surface. Lots of weird streaking on your building meshes. Not sure if that's smoothing groups or some weird error You said you were redoing the trees so I'll leave them be. Agree about focal point with…
Do you guys really like Mischief, despite the price? I feel it's prizing itself out of the natural ' impulse buy' /toy category it should be in. You can get pretty much all of its features in vector packages (I used to sketch in Inkscape quite a lot, it also has 'infinite canvas' and smooth brushes). At over a hundred…
I was using zbrush+zapplink since it appeared first time, but it's a nuisance, nothing really good. To be always switching between the two apps is a pain in the ass . Adobe should make an application for 3d painting, that would be excellent. I recommend bodypaint as others, is the tool for painting i use mainly. You can…
Thanks everyone :) doeseph: I used to work with a ton of layers back in the day when I was uncomfortable with painting. The more your practice, the less you rely on layers. For about 80% of this project I was using 2 layers: the lines layer set to multiply and a layer underneath for coloring. No I did not create an…
Hi everyone, In my new project, 'Seagull Shack', I will be recreating this cute little concept by the very talented Catherine Unger: There is a couple objectives I set myself for this piece: - Practice hand-painted texturing, a technique I haven't done a ton of, using Substance Painter. - Accurately reproduce someones…
Hey I don't have time for a lengthy reply right now, but hand-painting textures is something I did at my last job a lot. A good place to get started is this tutorial... http://androidarts.com/art_tut.htm It'll explain a lot of the basics of painting in general. Using that methodology and looking at some good reference…
Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has run into any issues with Huion tablets and 3DO painting? Currently Im using a Huion H610PRO tablet with all drivers up to date and I have not had any luck with it registering my painting attempts. The cursor tracks fine but it does not seem to register when I click the pen on any part…
Hey guys. I've been having some issues with CryEngine lately that has stopped me from progressing. It's mainly related to the terrain painting and how to understand it. I do understand that you need to go through and highpass your terrain texture because it uses the editors own coloring system to help with the visual…
