carlo_c: they're a fair time commitment, tbh... I think it could be why more people don't do them. They range between a month and 3-4 months. Goblin guy took about a month. Busts just don't take as long as full maquettes. Lucien was about 3. Hyena guy was a bit more than 2. pior: thanks! Yeah, I do have the dremmel and the…
Thanks Eric. I see . With "camera" i mostly meant a special "baking camera" Arnold had in 3d max when it was free plugin . I think around 2015-2017 . I am still trying to get same options like rays coming through alpha clipped planes with BTT . So far I get it but with artifacts even after setting zero padding . Looks like…
Hello guys, I am at a point of learning the art of 3d where I am starting to see what I have to learn in order to specialize in a field. Truth is I like every damn aspect of 3d which makes it hard to specialize in something. So, I want to ask, does an environmental artist know about human anatomy forsculpting characters,…
A work in progress thread for a narrative focused on our seductive friend, Evelynn. My hopes are that this will be a sort of twisted, creepy, yet fun read. I normally work with fun and happy stories, so using a character like her is going to be my own little challenge. Once I start posting progress for the actual story,…
Ok wow, so now this thread's topic has derailed from Rip-off to sell out to Having sex? =\ Am confoozed. :( Jokes aside: Coming back to the topic; It doesnt really matter as long as they have the artist's consent. If they sell or post other artists work on their website / sell it without a consent, the artist should be…
sonic: Not just that, most formats have licensing fees associated with them. EB Games apparently sells the PSP only in bundle form, which forces you to shell out 400 USD minimum and get three games plus an accessory. I don't get why people expect handhelds to cost LESS than a home system. Look at laptops, all of that power…
arshlevon, you are totally right! The only thing we need from games is better graphics screw game play, story telling, character development and inovative thought. I know when I am shopping for a game I want a game that uses tech specs to sell the game instead of letting the game speak for itself. I know I gloss right over…
Got it, thanks. Element selection is bothering me now =) Your hint about it being slower than calculation was right and sent me on a journey of poking around with element detection and reorganizing the whole thing. Expanding to element is slow, but does wonders with low amount of shells, say we have million polys unwrapped…
I think that is acceptable, you're zoomed in pretty close and it's still holding up "pretty well". At a distance it starts to look like scales so that would be concerning to me because that is the first impression people will have. Instead of tinting random clumps you probably want to tint the lower shells darker if you…
First, assign a checker material to your object. It helps if you make it two shades of dark gray, rather than black and white, because you'll be able to see the face edges better. Then... 1. Apply an "Unwrap UVW" modifier. 2. Click the "Edit" button so you can see your UVs. 3. Go into Face sub-object mode. 4. Select the…
