Hello i want to make tconcept hard surface things maybe even in 2d.Have someone online schools names who can easy teach this?I prefer long time education with feedbacks. Thanks And i have another question its how is hard surface concept path?If i want to do hard surface props?Characters too
eureka! its all so clear to me now! specular surfaces are always darker than non-specular surfaces! non-specular surfaces scatters the light more, showing less of the colour to the human eye! and of course you get the bonus that specular surfaces has better contrast.
Just wondering anyone else tried using zbrush from start to finish for hard surface modelling, I know there is a tutorial at DT for it. But who here uses it for there hard surface modelling. Starting there base mesh in zbrush and finishing it all with just zbrush.
if you feel like you're falling behind, keep a journal so you can see the rate of your progress. You might find that you're actually accomplishing more than you think. Also with hard surface stuff like this, the last 10% of polish is really important; a darker cyberpunk, neon-lit alleyway could be a better composition fit…
Gotta agree with Mik2121! :) Also, if possible, I'd like to see some different kind of hard-surfaces: for the moment, we did "mechanical" hard-surface. What about "electronic" hard-surface? For example:
Surface Pro 2. Haswell baby! http://www.pcworld.com/article/2049262/microsoft-surface-2-and-surface-pro-2-benchmarks-and-hands-on.html Still. Wish they had a 16 gig option for ram.
In blender when baking with a multiresolution modifier from this highpoly: The baked normal-map on the low-poly looks like this when using "Bake from multires": These are the UV seams: I thought it had to do with UV seams first, but it's unable to bake round edges anywhere at all, anywhere on the model. I noticed that…
About time someone starting putting that tech to use. Too bad Apple didn't do it first so it could be done right the first time. I'm sure MS will get it right with surface 6.0. http://www.microsoft.com/surface/ Promo Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VfpVYYQzHs
Thank you for the detailed feedback. I'll consider various material properties while texturing and designing wear in the future. The part about surface distortion in the areas where the sign is riveted on is a great little detail.
