Sculpting for Dota 2? Looking for help or tutorials.
Greetings! I am an aspiring modeller, with little to no background in the field. My experience is limited to 4 years of work using Milkshape3D and user-made tools for Warcraft III modelling and "geo-merging", aka model editing. This mostly involves low-poly modelling, simple linear animations and plenty of… -
Re: Skullraider
Are you actually going for only a low poly model or also high poly baked down on low poly? And do you plan to use ZBrush? I am asking because I see hard surface techniques that actually are going to make it pretty tough to get a natural organic feeling in it. Also for low poly they increase the poly count, without being… -
Re: Triangles after baking normal map
yep, that's what I meant. gnoop explained the why quite well It is a way to deal with this sort of problem. I do it often when extruding awkward shapes for meshes where I'm not planning to use baked normals, -
Re: How would you model this?
What's the challenge exactly? Looks like nothing troublesome to model. Make a profile and extrude or combine a few primitives or sculpt from a sphere . There could be gazillion ways. -
Re: Nurbs + Polys
Earthquake I've looked at the thread previously. It's a very nice thread. I looked at your website too - it has some impressive work. I'm aware that my model has too much geometry but take Jays example above, for example; while it works for what he's shown, the fillet on an ipod is much steeper so geometry that light… -
Help me, I'm ineffecient! what poly modeling extentions are you working with?
I've realized as i do more poly modeling how tedious some of the tasks are. So I'm trying to figure out a way to speed my poly modeling, I know some basic things I need to improve, like how I need to work out a new hotkey map. But I've been looking into poly/subdiv modeling extension scripts and plugins, which look like… -
Re: Early-Late 2000s CGI/Game Models
Well, that's precisely why I was mentionning earlier that some of the confusion in this thread might be coming from where you are in your learning of polygon modeling in general. This (and the weird question about the ears) 100% confirms it. And again none of this relates to "old" or "new" models (beyond the fact that… -
Re: Stuck: My Topology Journey Has Hit a Wall
Thank you so much for your help and for your link. I'll dig into what you wrote right away and watch the video. In the meantime, I'd gone a little further with the example work. I think this is my best. However, if I start adding details, holes in the mesh, or small extrusions, I think it'll be a DISASTER in terms of… -
Re: Beretta M9 - Highpoly
Im seeing a lot of mistakes in the model itself, and also lots of problems with the subdivision. Im not sure how accurate you intended the model to be, so ill just assume not very, and focus on the sub-D issues. The first thing that hits my eye is the pinching on the grip (behind the mag release) and at the back of the… -
Re: Lack of Environment Artists
Know where your camera is going to be most of the time, and concentrate your details there. For example in a WW2 shooter you piss away most of your details, both polygons and textures around the ground floor. On an RTS game with the camera above most of the time you work from a top down detail - get those roofs and upper…
