To all 2d artists looking for practice out there, i'm a somewhat okay 3d modeler and sculpter but I can't draw to save my life. I greatly rely on character modeling reference sheets like this one: http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/245/8/6/character_sheet_for_sword_girl_by_mika_chai-d5dac5p.jpg to do my work. So, if…
Hey guys, i imported a box from max into zbrush with Goz and divided it a few times until its on 24k active points. because i want to bool with other obejcts using dynamesh i need to dynamesh it ones before to get control of my active points. but when iam using dynamesh the points count explodes to 1 million or higher. i…
I've killed so many gobs, no vault portal yet :( Have gotten 2 Gifts tho! Waiting for set shoulders and another Flying Dragon! What I said about 2h before is wrong, ohhh man are they strong now. I don't want to dual wield on my monk, don't think i'd have the same speed as i do now. Fun! trying a different build, with no…
OOOOOH, sorry Rich. Hmm, I just bought mine in GAME, I reckon they'll be wise to that :( So after reading about this Ambassador scheme I immediately went out and bought a 3DS :D I initially planned to wait for a second gen 3DS, but to hell with it. I picked mine up for 249 in GAME with Ocarina of Time included in the…
Looks like you only use one GI bounce. Try to use a combination of Irradiance Map AND Light Cache. You would also need to adjust your samplingvalues. Your renders won´t look great out of the box. You need to adjust these settings. Also check if gamma is enabled/disabled. You should always render with gamma 2.2 enabled. But…
I highly recommend the classic (and original) self-help book, How to Live on 24 Hours a Day. It was written nearly a hundred years ago, but every word is still true, and it explains exactly how to go about making sure there's time in your day to work on your own projects, so that work/school doesn't suck the life out of…
Hi, Another daily update. Got some changes done on the ocean shader and got a first pass on the treasure chest. After my first post, polycounts where requested and now that the models are final I'm happy to oblige. So here goes, in tris: Anchor 1654 Rock Group 1905 Rock 768 Wall 990 Treasure Chest 1728 Island 2380 Palm A…
Hey Polycount! This is my very first 3d model. I was lurking around in the forum for some weeks now and finally started my own project. For the beginning I chose something small with "easy" hard edges: The BJ-2 Combat Knife from Battlefield 2142 (NOT MINE): Here's my little summary of the different angles of the knife…
I followed the OCN thread on these for a long while, and I ordered my Crossover last week, the last part I need to finish my new build. It got to my city Friday night so it's been waiting to be delivered all weekend :( There is this one available from Microcenter (the multi input models sold on ebay or more expensive) with…
@Griffin - Many thanks for the link man. It helped me a lot to understand some things and on some way get color maps to UDK :) @Prtofdacrowd - It would be amazing if you do that for me. The results you made so far are incredible and I would like to see how everything goes behind the scenes. I'm about to watch Chocos…
