I haven't read the other replies so its possible someone already covered this, but just in case they didn't... It's not cheating but they can be a bit of a crutch that you learn to do without after a while, for most things anyway. There are still somethings you will probably want to use a reference plane for but their use…
Still forming the shapes for the helm. Here's what I have so far, along with some reference pics. Attachment not found. Attachment not found. Attachment not found.
Noth I don't do much of a character modelling lately , more of environment stuff: walls , rocks , tiling surfaces , etc and use Zbrush more like a manual touch to SDesigner. To fix taste related things. To weed out some obviously procedural looking things like slope blur produced erosion or curvature edge masks. Once…
Which part exactly do you struggle with? I see a tiling undermaterial and then a layer on top that masks it away. You can probably come up with a smart solution for this, create a pattern generator or something. but you might just go in and paint that stretched longer/bigger cutout mask by hand. The shorter one looks…
Hi everyone, I saw this new character Zoe and fell in love. I wanted to make a skin for her that embodies her very wild spunky attitude. Character idea: Life gets rather boring sometimes so why not spice it up with a couple magic tricks and make a show. The Great Zoe could always use a couple volunteers for her act. She…
Hello everyone, I’m a beginner C++ programmer and Unreal Engine user looking for a project I could believe in and in which to hone our skills together. To put this in perspective, I’ve tried this as an hobby in the past but it never panned out, so that little skills I might have acquired then is now long gone and…
Do you remember how some big action movies from the 90s had those neat miniature & matte painting cities that were heavily exaggerated? I would like to make something like that for 1990s Los Angeles. My pitch is an open-world, third person, action game / simulation set in megacity LA. There are many great films set in LA…
Thanks for the feedback and the great references, really appreciate it. @Eric Chadwick =) You’re right about the mid-level shapes feeling a bit blobby, I went back in and focused on cleaning up the forms, defining planes more clearly, and adding sharper breaks between layers. Also pushed the silhouettes a bit more and…
