Re: Priske's art dump
I agree with ZacD look at your proportions and the drawings and you can see a difference . an easy way to do this is grab a pencil and measure all the pieces on the pic to your model . this should help to give you better proportions as for the feel of aggressiveness and heavy remember to exaggerate things. in the drawing… -
Re: stupid things you HAVE to do at work
Oh, god! Creating collision meshes. What a nightmare that was. Glad I dont do it anymore. @ JacqueChoi: I use Jira at my current job. I dont really have to do much on it though. Someone else does all the hard work. I just through my task so I'm not sure how crap it is. We are using Redmine on our indie game though and I… -
Re: n88tr's art dump thread
Like ZacD said, you've got to actually unwrap this thing. All of the side areas are creating a black vortex because that have zero space on your uv sheet. You might be able to get away with an unwrap like that if your edges flared out a bit or relax your uvs, but even still you need to take the time to unwrap properly. Cut… -
Re: PSA: How to use a 3d tutorial.
I don't know If I created even one thing directly from tut... I always rather look on workflow. Which functions of an app do what and what should you do to avoid problems. Sometimes I watch tuts about stuff I have no knowledge at all. For example animation. I don't usually do it though. I try to remember basics of the… -
Re: Using Concept Art for Model Reference
Thanks for the replies, guys. Hazardous is one of my absolute favourites ever, I forgot he had Chun Li on his site! That's encouraging then, I'd love to do some updated models of PS2-era characters someday... MattQ86, finished pieces out of unused concept art? You mean like what they're doing in the noob threads? JordanN,… -
Re: Terrible Advice/Myth Thread.
I find it hilariously ironic that zacd has taken it upon himself to instruct per and earthquake in the terrible advice thread. Anyway i always interpret the increased texel density on the head thing as a way to create a focal point with sharpness, and that raises a question: I've seen uneven texel density have a… -
Re: Texture help
what ZacD said about the direction of the wood grain. A technique i use when doing worn paint on different surfaces is to use the magic tool in PS with a low tolerance i used between 4 and 6 in the paint over. select on the wood grain layer, and on a new layer paint in a solid colour. use blending modes, saturation or what… -
Re: two sided material
Like ZacD said it is better to duplicate the mesh and reverse the normals performance-wise. If you need it for things that are transparent such as hairs you could always use a Cutout Soft Edge Unlit material, they show on both sides. If you really need to get a 2 sided shader, there are some around on forums around the net… -
Re: Noe_Serrano (prop busts)
Alberto Rdrgz: My progress for the leather was all on the base mesh before I took it to Zbrush. Here's the couch base mesh before Zbrush, I spend about 4 hours in zbrush pseudoBug: Done, I went back and made it a little more inflated :) cholden: Thanks ZacD: Thanks, I use 3dsmax before Modo and I don't think I can go back… -
Re: Config 3D Coat interface to be more like SketchUp
Agreeing with ZacD, I don't use 3D Coat so my knowledge for it is very basic. But I have never heard anyone create models with it. You can't compare 3D Coat with ZBrush, these are both different software with similar key-features. ZBrush is a sculpting software. 3D Coat in my eyes is more like a paint software. (I know it…
