Hello people, I dont know if this is the place to post such thread, but im struggling with this for a few days now and I cant continue this character without doing this step. So, its about Octobers monthly challenge, I`ve created high poly mesh in Zbrush and I have retopoed it using ZSphere tehnique, did some tweaks to low… -
Re: Office Chair Modeling, and a workflow discussion
Thx @Mirbobo and @pior I think a concrete example might help illustrate my current "modeling speed" issue a bit better. So say I want to make a simple bar counter like this: This looks easy, right, mostly primitive shapes. But it ends up taking me 5 hours to get to this (model -> uv -> baking -> test material) The main… -
Re: Sioux Sky Burial - ArtStation Wild West Challenge
I received a some feedback from the challenge's host, Javier Perez. "My biggest call outs would be from the textures. Are you using sculpts to get your normal information? I think you could take that wooden bed and really make an awesome sculpt taking the time to sculpt each log inside of zbrush.My next concern is that… -
Re: Jose Vivas - FMP Review and Critique
The second Character, the alien leader, is going to be an unique alien character that has psychic powers and commands the other aliens. I wanted it to look more slim and fragile compared to the minion but sharing some attributes like the horns, the protruding spine the number of fingers, ... It has a gelatine-ish mask over… -
Re: Bioshock Demo for download
BioShock is a lot like the TV show 'Lost' when it comes to 'unanswered' and 'unexplained' actions and events...the unanswered questions are intriguing enough to propel you further along...even though sometimes, the character's actions or the events that unfold don't make sense at the time, because you (the viewer or gamer)… -
Re: Well this is special...
hawh! cool. and i hear you on the time-sink thing. as far as the aggression release issue goes, it's hard to say, and although i do think that there is probably some value there, i could argue the point -- if a guy is angry and wants to beat his wife, is it really a solution to give him a wife-beating-sim to get out his… -
Re: How do you model? - Time lapse references
well, it tend to not be very reliable in editable poly mode, (it selects faces on other elements) so i generally just tend to forget about it in unwrap UVW. i'll try to remember it though. thanks! thats very useful, i'll try and do that. afaik, RenderHJS's plugin is on on max9. i'm on max 8, so nogo. upgrade will cut me… -
Re: HL2 Anyone got it? First impressions?
Well, I dunno what falls under the category of "gameplay", but... The player movement is pretty good. Paces the game nicely, although sometimes jumps can be awkward. The vehicles are fun to drive, going to the arcade-y side of things (not exactly "realistic" vehicle physics, but definitely fun). The weapons (all the ones I… -
Re: Fred's Response
I've been watching these events unfold from a distance. Didnt really want to get involved tbh. I think everyone else was voicing anything I needed to say. Anyhoo. I just wanted to say I'd be very sad to see DW go. I think the Art world needs a world wide competition across forums. Just as Football needs a World Cup or… -
Re: What are some good UV Plugins for Max?
What exactly do you miss from Maya? Personally, coming from Max to Maya, I found a lot of Maya's UV tools quite clunky (although others are good) :) You should try out this workflow (ideal for characters & organic meshes anyway): * Planar map all polys of the object, just to get rid of any seams. * Select edges in the…
