In addition to the modeling apps, take some time to learn at least the basics of Mudbox or ZBrush, and Photoshop, maybe UVLayout, Topogun.... Fact is, if you hear about a program more than a few times in the course of browsing the interstates at least give it a cursory glance.
Hi! So I want to find the best possible setup for the following textures: * Albedo RGB * Opacity * Normal RG * Height * Emission RGB * Ambient Occlusion * Metallic * Roughness I've prepared the initial layout, which is the best I can think of by myself, but I'd be happy to hear your suggestions on that. And I don't care if…
I'll be interested to see where this thread goes. The uncanny valley gets all it's pop in the realm of character art, but I think it happens in environments as well when things are 'just off' from how they would be built. Maybe it doesn't create the same sense of unease when it happens in environment art, but it can still…

Do I use one material that contains multiple material functions? Assign material elements slots to the mesh? Or a mix of…

I was only able to create one piece of the object.…
Hey all! Pretty new poster not sure if this is the best place for this question. I'm having an issue with importing a Summons for Beast Master. I've skinned him up using the rig from the original bird summon. I've made sure my affect bone limit is set to 3. I go into the workshop to import the bird. Wearable items (which…
I can see a few design things here you might want to think about: * I'm not sure if you're going for something that would actually suit a warrior, or if this is just an eye candy piece (not a bad thing), but if you're going for someone who could actually hold their own in a fight, you'd need to cover up some of the exposed…
