Re: Form, Shape, & Structure in 3D Modeling & Texturing
Yes this is true, but the difference is that silhouette only describes the overall shape where as shapes, by themselves, may be found where silhouette is not. Any form can generate a shape and any shape can imply a form, but silhouette, but the definition I understand it, can only imply the contours of forms (the outer… -
[WIP] stylized props
Hello! This is my first time posting here, I hope I get things right but don't hesitate to point out any mistake I make. I'm a 3D artist specialized in environments and in stylized 3D for real-time rendering. I love it when my work can run on a potato, hand painting textures bring me joy. I used to work with 3Dsmax, now… -
Questions about Materials/Shaders and Textures
So, my polycount fellows, I'm pretty sure that this is a noob question but I still can't figure out and can't find the exact answers so I will just ask here. I'm using unreal in this example but the question applies to any other engine too (well, at least that is what I think lul) So, first question is: If I use one… -
Re: [FINISHED] Real-Time Character - Pigeon - Marmoset Toolbag 5
That looks like a fun gnarly character with a lot of detail, but especially the beauty shots are really hard to read. The metal arm basically disappears into the body in the first shot, even without squinting. Perhaps you wanted to show the skulls, but having a stronger light from the left/back/top and less from the front… -
MGS1 Case Study - Calling all you lowpoly fiends!
Hi all! The goal of this thread is to do an interactive case of the graphics of Metal Gear Solid 1 with the Polycount community. This is my favorite game of all time, and I can still remember just how absorbed I was with everything about this when I was growing up. Now I would like to study and appreciate it from a more… -
Re: Toolbag 2 is on Steam! | Marmoset Toolbag 2 | News & Announcements
Additive would probably be best, yes. but it depends on the look you're going for, i suppose. As a side note, here's a little video showing some of the shader changes i've made. It shows the default blinn-phong shape for Toolbag2, and then the GGX shape used by UE4/The Order 1866, and finally a Beckmann skin specular… -
Re: modeling rock candy? (max or maya)
well think of them as crystals like the ones in starcraft that interlock together instead of clumps of squares. If you need it to be that low model a volume that is like a bat and make the texture do most of the work. Try making a high poly version ofr lack of a better term and give it a shader. Make it look like glass to… -
Re: Point light (shader?) issue
Looking at some of your images I can tell you're smoothing groups are off (unless you've baked a full high res to low normal map for this wall section with edge control). If you're exporting from Max, first try fixing the smoothing groups. A quick test, but by no means the best solution, select all faces, then in the edit… -
Re: MEL - Material attribute Command
You need to get the material node that's attached to the object. first you should use listRelatives to get the shape node https://download.autodesk.com/us/maya/2011help/Commands/listRelatives.html then you should use listConnections to get the shading group and then again to get the material connected to the shading group… -
Re: [wip] lil'Monster (feedback appreciated)
Hi :) Regarding the texturing, I would take a look at the Dota 2 Character Art Guide (if you haven't already), also look at hand painted characters (try "yeti" on sketchfab?) to see how other people solve specific problems. You can give the fur more definition by adding some gradients and highlight along the strands. To…
