Re: Zbrush Polypaint for texturing
I do 95% of my texturing in zbrush PP. I tend to clean it up and composite in Photoshop. When I am doing one of my attempts at photoreal portraits, for example, I tend to have several duplicate heads in the same ztool. I will paint something like mascara as total black on total white. Then bring that in as a mask into… -
Re: Texture unwrapping for tileable textures
IME the process does change, quite a bit. Your example shows a single tiling bark texture. But with a packed/atlas texture, I need to carefully lay out my UVs to isolate them, so the trunk mesh only uses the bark area in my texture, and doesn't overlap the leaves part.

Re: Games taken further?
Hmm I guess I should have better explained what I was trying to get to. Id like to see a new take on an existing game by emphasizing or strengthening key elements in that game that makes it unique. I would honestly like to make a team based metroid mod if it could be done well (and if Nintendo wouldnt shut it down when… -
Re: Should I practice with triangles if I want to work in games industry?
Modeling is one chapter. Quite a few polygon modeling tools in nearly all 3d modeling software requires quad topology to work. Edgeloop selection for example does not work well with tris or n-gons. So that's the thing that you need to learn first. Modeling with a useful topology. And there are plenty ways to achieve this.… -
