Re: Weekly Concepts - Critique
first off, i like the concept. Mum-Ra meets Soul Caliber feel to it. As the previous posts said, there are issues with your anatomy, check out some anatomy resources on the web or at your schools library to get some muscle refrences, this will help you immensely in the long run. http://www.bartleby.com/107/ would be a… -
Re: Laptops for 3d modeling and texturing
HP DV-7 Thats what I bought a year ago (the previous model obviously) and it runs maya/zbrush/muxbox fine. Its expandable up to 8gb a ram, though thats 2 4gb sticks and that runs around $384. (edit apparently it comes with a 7200rpm now, but hey 2 :) ) But you can upgrade to a 7200rpm hdd for $100 bucks AND it has a second… -
Re: Western Tale Character WIP: Reynard
Nearly done with the retopo, will start UV'ing tomorrow: I expect that with the gun and scabbard added, the final poly count will be around 13k. I can probably trim it down some, but I am dead tired of staring at this retopo. I think could always trim some off after the bake... This is my first real attempt at trying to… -
Re: UDK normal map issue
I just realised i made a typo. Texturegroup should have been LODGroup :P I can really see any other solution to this apart from playing around with the compression settings.

I believe you can download as many times as you need to also. NO DRM Only when the project is retired and it is no longer for sale do you lose… -
Re: Model Sheets
really you think the crate is too high? lol that's the one i figured for best use of polys since its only 132.... All textures in these are either 512x512 or 256x256. I admit quite freely that my poly usage isn't the best here hehe, but all of these models were done for school, and all but the character were props for… -
Stylized fantasy lowpoly figurines - mobile game assets (C&C welcome)
Hello everyone!

Everything posted here was made using Blender, including the sculpting and… -
3ds Max and Normal/Bump Maps
I'm using 3ds Max 2014 and Mental Ray Arch Design shaders. When applying a normal map I'm using the Standard Normal Bump shader (using Normal Map slot) and plugging my map into that, then the Normal Bump shader gets plugged into the Arch Design Bump channel. I created a bump map by using a mid grey (127) background and… -
