Re: Workflow question: generating height/normal before Substance
Yeah, I can see where that feeling comes from. A lot of pipelines today optimize for scalability and consistency rather than uniqueness. Procedural tools made production much more predictable, but at the same time they tend to converge toward similar visual patterns. At the same time though, I’m not sure the material side… -
Re: Character Concept Voting for April 2014
Man and his monkey is the best choice for something like this because barely anyone even got close to finishing this months challenege and in terms of character design, the advisor wasn't even that complex. Mob man is a great, strong, simple design. If you cannot take him to finish, then you need to really look at your own… -
League of Legends - Corki
3D character work and visual development based on League of Legends' Corki. One of my favorite video games inspired me to challenge myself by creating one of characters. The biggest challenge was capturing the details of the hair, requiring meticulous attention to achieve a realistic effect. For future projects, I plan to… -
Win the Escape, fly to Valve
When we announced the Escape: A Polycount Challenge we were pleased to be working with such amazing sponsors: handplane, Marmoset Toolbag, Quixel and Valve.

Re: LOW-POLY ART
These are from a weekend project earlier in the month that I made to try out the #256fes challenge specifications (256 triangles, 256x256 texture, usually a character). I found it really fun to problem solve within such a small budget, and to balance versatility of the trimsheet with geometry efficiency. I posted some… -

Re: Bionic Commando Rearmed
First, this was one of my all-time favorites back on the NES and I couldn't be happier to get an update of it. With that said, and having played it quite a bit, I like some of the changes and dislike others. I really do appreciate the new visuals, extra challenges, added secrets, trickier bosses, and no need to equip… -
Re: [3D] How to unwrap spherical Visor so texture doesn't distort?
Have to agree with @Noren , @ZacD , and @pior : both the contiguous unwrap and compound curvature of the shape are contributing to the distortion in a way that's almost unavoidable with a [tiling] texture only approach. Lot's of good advice on how to proceed with different approaches from everyone in this thread. As far as… -
Re: Unearthly Challange 2009

Re: Learning Diary - 30 heads 30 days
@teodar23 While you may say these challenges are bad I find them incredibly useful, I'm not aiming for perfect likeness I'm aiming to understand form and shapes, understanding landmarks and all the differences found with different people, the time restraint isn't a factor to me when I'm only working to that level of…
