Anyway,i stumbled upon this comment: So,my concept of subD was that it reffers to manipulating a parts of a 1 object.Like going… -
Zbrush Sculpt, Hand painted texture?
I've been trying to follow Fanny's texture tutorial on Vertex 2 HD (Amazing art by her). But i totally get lost at the step where she creates the Matcap Grey (From Matcap red Vax.. well honestly i get lost when she starts to create the detail inside the stones but anyway! :D ) My main question is if there's someone out… -
Shader - Refraction
Heya peeps, Quick question, how do you deal with refractions? I'm trying to tackle refractions, specifically on skin, based upon this text here: http://darkvertex.com/wp/2008/06/25/sss-with-refraction/ Now the issue I mainly have is that while interpretation of refraction is not open, it is ALL OVER THE SQUID SCROTUM… -
Alpha Wars on App Store
Hello all. After some months of hard work, we have Alpha Wars on the App Store :poly142: The game is made with Unity 3D. The highest poly model is about 350 triangles, and most of the models are about 200 vertex so they can be batched and use less drawcalls. The hardest thing was cutting down visuals to something that old… -
Help Normal Map Artifacts arround edges.
Hi! I made a simples sword, keeping the lowpoly vertex count really low... but im getting these strange artifacts arround the borders when i bake the hp in substance (or blender). Im using 16x padding, x2048, tried with and without cage and AA. the model has sharp edges arround the seams in the borders. I actually dont… -
Expanding Beyond Basic PBR Materials
Greetings polycount! While I feel like I have a decent understanding of the artistry behind building realistic materials, I feel like my technical know how is lacking a bit. I realize not all materials need to be super complex in order to create convincing results, but I'm having a hard time finding resources and tutorials… -
Maya to 3ds Max tutorials/transition help?
Hey everyone, so I started using XSI about 5 years ago then made the switch to maya about 4 years ago... I've never touched max except maybe twice. I have no idea how to use it at all and was wondering if anyone knew of any good basic tutorials to get me started or a website that could walk me through a transition or… -
Character as one mesh and texturing question
Am sculpting a character for use in a game engine which will require rigging and animation. Ive a pretty high poly character and will do the retopology later once hes completed. The thing is, ive modelled the character into parts such as the body, shirt, pants and gear etc are all separate objects. Am thinking to delete… -
Laggy maya, crappy resolution...
Last night, while I was working on a highpoly version of a character, Maya randomly jammed. I was forced manually turn off the computer. I had recently saved, and it was time for bed, so I didn't bother to see if anything was different or corrupt. This morning I opened up several models and found that I was getting rather… -
Monastery Graveyard in the Snow - UDK Environment
Hello. Studying 3D graphics and for my "do what you want" project I've chosen an UDK environment. Specifically, Caspar David Friedrich's "Monastery Graveyard in the Snow" as a game environment. This is pretty daunting, but I need some game stuff in my portfolio (which is very weak overall.) I'm a complete noob to this, so…
