Re: WIP: Hybrid Space Chick
Working on the boot a bit. If anyone could give me some hardsurface tips that'd be great. I'm working with masks to get the nice hard edges but its looking way too sloppy for my taste. [img]http://www.lastlinecreations.com/WIP/9-18-10 - BootSculpt.png[/img] -
Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | November - December (75)
Here is my incomplete enviroment for this challenge. It was too difficult as a challenge to create so i ran out of motivation to complete it. I did try to fix proportions tho. And i learned that hardsurface scifi is very difficult to create :D Maybe i should choose a prop for next challenge. -
Re: Vayne4800's workshop
I missed working on some hardsurface item, basically a sharp weapon, and so I picked up this Abaddon sword concept by Mango and this is the progress of the blockout. Should be able to finish it within the next two days and get back to the big stuff. This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The… -
Re: [WIP] RPG-7
Hey man is this the tutorial from cgtuts? When you're doing retopo for lowpoly, do you just delete edge loops? What is your workflow for that? Im curious as to how to retopo hardsurface models, esp if they have edges that curve when going through turbosmooth. eg. take a cube, turbo smooth it, how do you retopo that? -
Re: Duplicate and slide edge tool (As seen in Modo) in Maya?
Thanks a lot for the info! I gave the offset edge loop tool a try, but I didn't modify any of the tool settings, but it makes sense that I'll find what I'm looking for there. I'll also try turning auto complete off. The divide edge tool is really cool, I could imagine it being quite useful in hardsurface modelling. -
Re: Where to study online?
Oh!...in addition, another excellent online tutorial library is Gumroad: http://polycount.com/discussion/137585/gumroad-tutorials-list Plus if you've thoughts about a future specialisation somewhere down the track, then accordingly as a 3D Hardsurface Modeller myself I'll shamelessly plug Tor Frick's extremely useful GM… -

Re: Why is it recommended to make all UV seams hard?
Thanks. I understand why when dealing with hardsurface, but I couldn't understand the reason for say a round ball looking creature which doesn't have those degree shifts and by making every seam hard you'll see hard seams when baking when you don't want it. -
Re: Titan Fall Inspired School Project
Wow i can finally see whats going on. Very nice, but do you have some soft of blockout? I find it to be very diffucult just to get on straight with the hardsurface without some kind of a blockout first so i can check how it roughly fits together. -
Re: Realtime Military dude!!
Looking awesome Luke. Consider knocking the cavity/convexity maps back a ton though esp the convexity...at the moment all your materials have a chalky white highlight around them, I would use that more in the hardsurface spec than the diffuse mister and let the lighting carry the highlight.
