Hey guys, am just trying to practice some hard surface modeling (using Maya) but never seem to be able to have full control of the process and get slowed down quite a lot making little tweaks here and there which I'm pretty sure are because I've made little mistakes moving verts without realising. For example I'm working…
Hey folks 👋 I wanted to share a new project I’m working on: a creepy old house environment for my indie horror card game Desecrated Deck (Steam link below if you’re curious 👀). I’ve been doing hard-surface modeling for many years (props, hardsurface, clean shapes — that kinda stuff). BUT… I’ve actually never fully finished…
In my experience, individual game artists are usually friendly and collaborative. There are always a few people who act like gatekeepers and want other people to "prove themselves" or try to hide information to prevent competition, but in my experience that type of individual is rare, and those @$$holes exist in every…
Hello Guys, I am working on my hard surface model with the work flow of quad chamfer and Turbo smooth and I noticed that one of the edges even though it is set as a hard edge after the turbo smooth and the chamfer seems to get distorted. Please have a look at the pictures below, I have tried everything I knew that could…
sorry if it's too many images. So here's me trying my hand at sub div hard surface modelling with just using Maya. First time trying a car and I'm pretty new to hard surface in general. Currently working on the wheels and the interior of where the wheels are. I chose this particar off-road racer because it sorta fit a…
I usually clean up my UV bake and use it to highlight all the hard edges on my model. Is there some app or way that will only bake the edges that have split vertex normals? I'm working in Maya at the moment, but I am actually curious if any app can do this, or if there is some quick trick someone has that's better than…
I had a similar problem, and it turned out that it was my memory that was bad so it was copying bad files to my hard drive. I downloaded and ran Memtest 86 and found that one of my two sticks of memory had a handful of errors on it. When I removed the bad memory everything formatted installed and ran fine. It might not be…
Hello, my name is Zach and I'm currently on the hunt for some 3D gigs. My site is here: www.zachhahn3d.com I do not currently have any other work to show due to being bound in an NDA, but I promise I can do more than guns ;) I'll be updating this thread as I finish new assets. My focus is in hard surface, current-gen…
