Re: Mancubus
I use Blender. The beta program for the obj exporter has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride. I love Blender, but the way it handles normals drives me batty. I'd suggest upgrading to 2.55 (or grab one of the latest builds off of Graphicall). The other option is to take a copy of the mesh to 2.49b (the last non-beta… -
Re: Glock 18
To your questions: A. I would model the geometric shapes with basic sub-d, and do the font and small scratches and such in the texturing phase, there is no need to go to zbrush for this sort of work, photoshop is going to be much faster. I'll see if I can find some time later to whip up a quick sub-d bullet mesh later.… -
Re: Trying Blender
once every few versions i will give blender a try to see how its developing. and they FINALLY after years and year have got the new polygon system b-mesh which supports n-gons and tools that can work with n-gons. and i have to say that for poly modeling it seems 'useable' now. that is, if you can get all the hot keys setup… -
Re: mausoleum
Hi- I'm in the process of fixing the geometry for the overall model, as at the time I consciously had n-gons and holes in it. Thus the model will be in quads (with a few triangles here and there) so I can work with it in Zbrush. In an attempt to make things easier, I will also be importing the model as separate meshes so I… -
Re: [WIP] Motorcycle Buell Ulysses XB12X Modeling HighPoly Model for Production
2.8_Upper/Lower triple clamp tree Hi 3DModelers, This week I have not had much time to model this whole piece, but I have only modeled the block-in version of that. In that image I show you the reference of that piece where you can see a lot of details, holes, and so on. This block-in will be the base to create the complex… -
Re: Any suggestions on staying in shape?
Great advice from everyone here. But anyway you can always find time:P, just gotta do what works for you. I usually stay home and just do 16mins a day 6 days a week(taking the 7th day off to let your muscles rest n grow i guess). Warm up stretches , 50 push-ups , Barbell squats(start off with regular squats first, and if… -
Re: Edge loops running through mesh
@DiamondDog The answer is it depends. Is there a workflow specific technical limitation or requirement for all quad grid topology? If this type of topology isn't a hard technical requirement then the answer is: Yes, there are more efficient topology layouts and modeling strategies. Leaving extra geometry (that's a… -
Re: Far Cry 3 Art Dump
Yeah, basically my workflow is: Concept / Research: For weapons that arent 1:1 realistic. Example would be the flamethrower, which is inspired by the LPO50; however the LPO has a fuel backpack, we needed a canister/ammo based flamethrower. So I came up with a few designs in max. I dont get concept art so its really just… -
Re: Microsoft Surface
I have done a lot of research on the subject and I wanted to share MY experience so far for those that are on the fence. I was originally going to opt for the Surface Pro but ultimately chose to get the Asus Taichi and so far I'm not upset about it at all. The Surface Pro is about an inch smaller. This inch does make a bit… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | January - February (100)
@LeonDreiling Happy to see you stuck with it! You've done a lovely job and learned new skills. Not to mention identified things you can do differently in the future. As far as I'm concerned, you've done this challenge proud. :3
