Re: fire axe WIP (newbie warning)
if you want to get the wood right.. you need to start with a better source. lighter woods tend to be either softoods (not great for axes) or untreated (same). look for a nice red dark wood it would have been treated much the sameas a hardwood floor. so thats probably a good place to look for refs. :) try CGtextures under… -
Re: 3D Game Textures - Create Professional Game Art Using Photoshop
That is a lot to take in. So you bought a book that you had heard good things about, and the step-by-step wasn't incredibly detailed? You also did not mention the name of the book, although I gather it's "3D Game Textures - Create Professional Game Art Using Photoshop". Would you like some references to good texturing… -
Re: Cintiq 12wx
I'm considering that tablet pc too. I'm using a bamboo fun, which I think has 256 sensitivity? But it works perfect for me, I can do anything I want with that much sensitivity. If I can get that on that tablet pc, I'll be VERY happy. My budget doesn't allow for any cintiq, or cintiq ripoff, so the tablet pc seems like the… -
Re: Revised Balrog (Bison)!!!
But Cyrael, he's a boxer, just giving Street Fighting a go, for um, whatever reason :D I say keep the ears as they are, to be more in tune with the character. His ears look a little funny in that pic, but still not cauliflower-ish, I think his lobes just stick out a bit. Cauliflower ear is almost the opposite of that,… -
Re: Would anybody like to recommend some iPhone games?
Because when i write thread titles that are long winding sentences it can be hard to RELIABLY DISSEMINATE THE SUBJECT, since it's so hard to just READ OVER IT, so I do this to MARRY MY PERSONAL WRITING STYLE to the demands of message boards. In this thread it was probably unnecessary, i think LACK OF SLEEP MAY EFFECT MY… -
Re: Sketchbook: Diet Coke
Hey there ! you've got some nice improvement there ! One thing i can say, the last female you posted might have some anatomical problems around her waist (exept if it's on purpose, then my comment doesn't count) you might want to work a little too on the topology of you faces :) Whilst the result is satifying, it is still… -
Re: 3dsmax noise in normal maps
Yeah, trying baking in 16bit and converting to 8bit in PS. Baking double size shouldn't have any effect on dithering though, you can't really "dither harder", dithering quality will be limited to the value range in the map, if the gradients are super subtle there is only so much dithering can help. .DDS means compression,… -
Re: Uncharted 2's Tile-able textures created in zbrush by
for the stone im pretty sure they just made a stamp in PS for the patterns than applied it to stones sculpted in zbrush, set a morph target than beat it to hell with hard surface brushes (mallet fast, trim dynamic) than used the morph brush to bring back any lost detail from the stamp that is wanted. and for the vines i… -
Re: warhammer 40K grey knight terminator
I knew that lensflare was going to bite me in the ass lol. I was trying to get some volumetric light haze around the "lamps" and couldn't get a decent result any other way, i'll def. post a render without it though, just not worth the shaming. Here's some close-ups btw. I'll get a keyshot render of the sculpt in a bit, my… -
Re: Good character modelling tutorials (that isn't Zbrush-based) ?
On the topic of Japanese dev: I think it does matter HOW they do it though. IF I know how they do it in another tool, I can at least try to emulate that in Maya. All I am saying is, I am nowhere as good as being able to stare at great models and get to 80% good. Thus my quest to find some tutorials :smile: (PS: I know…
