I found 3DTraining Institute (3DTi) the only school that gives you a solid foundation in 3D. Their courses are well designed and cover all topics. I took the 3dsmax course in 2020 during the pandemic helped me to learn the software and techniques to create 4 in-demand portfolios i.e Architectural Interiors, Logo animation,…
for starters read up on smoothing groups, this will get rid of all the hard edges on your modelthen there seems to be some normal errors on this seam on the top side of the model, make sure all normals are pointing outwards and you dont have any double faces or double vertices in your modelfor topology, on hardsurface…
Couldn't you model 1 of these, apply an FFD, then duplicate it and randomize FFD points? That's what I'd look at trying to do, and then apply some additional wear through a masked out displacement map.
Wish this worked with Nanite and game environments in general but unfortunately it doesn't. But it would be super cool. Could be still useful for images or cinematics... I got bored with megascans ground asset edges not lining up and creating overhangs and gaps, so I made a tool that auto snaps their border with a soft…
Cool. Some of your wishes are hard to do though :D The quality/accuracy of the distance field highly determines the quality of the final model and the render. Artifacts may appear when too much distortion is applied to the distance field, without correcting its values for this. Unfortunately sometimes the correction takes…
Good job! One thing I would consider is the color pallet in relation to your 3d work. I think desaturating the hair would help out a lot; I've observed that realistic 3d often avoids those saturated colors, and would often rely on values to manipulate the coloring. Take FF7's remake for example, Aerith(the girl) in the…
Hello again everyone, Hope you are all staying safe and well. I am back with some free time to fill with contracts so if you and your projects have a need for a Maya animator please get in touch! My big on going project I can show bits about is "Samurai Zero" which you can see some footage of here!…
