Hello Polycounters! For this throne room challenge, my accomplice and I want to do a combination of organic and man made materials to show off the diversity of Substance, as well as help bolster our skill sets as we transition to the PBR workflow in UE4. We have arrived on a blend of scifi era construction technology and…
I gave Artstation a test - smallish PNG vs JPEG, both seem to have way more compression than I'm happy with: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/gaming-basement-wip (one has more brightness and contrast than the other, that's not an artifact :P) But I do see Artstation images that look more or less crystal clear (e.g.…
so your crystal ball told you this about win9 and the only way to stop this is to not use Win8 or what solution do you propose? Don't you think MS has clever people, just like you, who came up with the same conclusion that letting people install software from 3rd party sources is a good thing? Just like an app-store isn't…
DWalker > I do not pretend to make a pure medieval realistic scene! I'm using, as references, the books of Viollet-le-Duc'c works. That man was one of the precursor of the "art nouveau", so he was criticised for his vision of the medieval architecture. But I'm in love with the "art nouveau" and I wish to do a personnal and…

Assuming you are using Zbrush, so here it…

We must be going to different Creativeheads sites, because jobs have actually been pretty slim in the area and they've hardly been entry level. From my experience job hunting in the Bay Area has been rather.. brutal. There are very few entry level jobs and we've had a lot of layoffs in the area (LucasArts, Factor5, EA,…
A few months ago I rendered out a phone I made in 3ds max and now I'm revisiting it again so I can touch up on some of the issues I have with it. One of them being that whenever I render out the passes, the text on the phone don't come out as clear as what the texture I put on it is. Diffuse: Reflection: Specular: Final: I…
Hey guys, I'm trying to set up a mesh emitter that emits opaque crystals that bounce around, but I'm having a couple of problems: 1 - The collisions seem too big and I can't seem to affect their boundaries in any way. So when they're laying on the ground they're actually floating a few inches in the air. 2 - I'd love to…
Hiya, downloaded the trial, had it for 2 days and running into a couple of probs finishing my design so I have some quick questions for anybody that is familiar with this software. 1. When I scale all shapes down at once the 2 scatter brushes I have lose their placements on the paths. Is there a way of locking scatter…
