Re: is 'texture painting' going to be rendered obsolete in the next while?
I've found PBR has made me change the way I texture for the better. Instead of working on one texture map at a time to completion like I used to with a diffuse/spec/norm setup, I now work on each map at the same time, trying to nail my base colours for the albedo and then adjusting these for the gloss/metalness before… -
Re: Conan Circlet
I tried xnormal but it gets a lot of artefacts on the normal map and also the normal map is not that crisp or detailed like completely missed the sewing details , I dunno if may be it is me that didn't tune if wel but I was thinkint perhaps is better exctract maps from Zbrush , retopo in topogun and paint over in mudbox or… -
Re: Hellfire Missile-Week Off School Project
Sorry about those ortho shots! I am definitely gonna get the bolts and seem lines done after work tonight. I think I'm going to maybe just keep the fixed fins in the back like the ref above looks. @North: Since I hadn't modeled in awhile, just getting the UI down and hot-keys etc, took me over an hour. I would love to… -
Re: [WIP] Cartoon Demon Girl - Eskah
Couldn't work too much today. Even so, I finished her top and part of the belts. I polypainted the fur and did again her frontal cloth. I wasted a lot of time on details on the buckles that is barely visible sadly :/ I worked a bit on breaking the symmetry on the hair too. Thanks one more time for the feedback! I also… -
Re: [UDK] Assault Bot

Re: DarkWatch Rifle - PBR Materials
Thanks Shiro, It's far from perfect, but I've learned a fair bit about PBR. From what I've read about coloured spec maps and non metallic materials (dialectric's) you need to neutralize your hues in order to get the correct spec/reflection. It seemed to provide the right result, but I'm not 100% sure it's correct. I'm sure… -
Re: Noomi Rapace as Lisbeth Salander, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
Di$array- Thanks man, your right about the skin texture. It's just a base polypaint for now, I'll do the final work in PS, as for the head you might have a point there too. She's a very petite woman but I may have over compensated. I'll do a proportion tweak when I finish the low poly and compare. Thanks again. MM- No need… -

Re: Straight-Edge UV seams
i started a thread on this topic a while back, it's here if you're interested: http://boards.polycount.net/showthread.php?t=47273 the general conclusion went something like: the more next gen you go, the less perfect straight UVs tend to matter: they're great for using pixels to create straight lines (because of… -
Re: What software is needed for a complete 3D modelling work-flow?
I really don't understand why people are recommending anything paid when I've heard quite a few people RECOMMEND Blender OVER Maya, Modo and 3ds Max. Isn't Blender almost on par with $2,000 apps now? I really would consider Blender. I never quite understood fully why people recommended not worrying about which program to…
