From Singapore with love
I'm up late at my new studio in Singapore so I can share some of the goings on around the 3D community (Yes... This IS my blog!). We have 2D and 3D art, tutorials, contests and BOOBIES! So kick back, strap yourself in and enjoy the ride. ZBrush Central Being a huge fan of NBA, this amazing model of Kobe Bryant by ZBrush… -
What's the best image feature masking /selecting solution currently ?
I prefer to make textures from photographs when possible . They just takes less time for comparable quality than never-ending Substance Designer tweaking. Still for nice roughness variation based not just on height /normal map details It's critical to have some easy and semi-automatic feature selecting/masking tool . Like… -
Re: Can't land a job after graduating from college. Advice appreciated.
You get the menial jobs as a graduate because you haven't proved that you can do the big ones yet. It's pretty straightforward, really - a studio doesn't hire a graduate because they can do the grown up jobs, they hire them because they think they'll be able to do the grown up jobs in the future. Hard as it may be to… -
Re: LHDC dota2 workshop
I dont know much about modeling but the models look pretty awesome to me! The one thing I would say though- you're going for a very bland colour scheme for a hero with a pretty exciting colour palette- Huskar's colours are teals, greens, browns, as well as fiery reds, oranges, yellows, whites. It would definitely benefit… -
Re: Portfolio Advice. What to keep so far.
You still need to work a lot more on the gloss to separate the materials from each other, as others have already said. All your materials look like they have the same value right now, which makes the model look less interesting and realistic. If the brown parts are supposed to be untreated wood it needs to be a lot less… -
Re: Simple barrel
I'll breakdown my critique into dot points: - scratch details are looking good. - Some of your normals are to big (Bigger details on the brown but smaller on the red) - Its appears to be a red painted barrel so I assume the brown is rust? but it does not look like rust and seems your relying to much on your normals for… -
Re: Metal Making
[ QUOTE ] so i should try adding blues/ orangish browns for my highlights? and then add a color for shadows? [/ QUOTE ] Whatever's appropriate, really. If the model's intended to be outdoors, mostly, a blue base color would make sense. In Quake style hallways, yellows and oranges for highlights will fit in well, and so on.… -
Re: Maya to Max Dictionary
Ok so i now have morph targets done and am ready to roll wiring up the manipulators. I am having trouble wrapping my head around getting the joystick manipulator to control my asymmetrical blend shapes. I want for instance to set it up so that the positive and negative values of the manipulator are wired to 4 different… -
Re: WIP Rat King (Looking for feedback and advice)
Hi! By "overall creature shape is a bit too artificial", I meant the rats placement look like a pattern. Combined with the deliberate placement of the other elements, it looks less like an organically grown creature to me. I mean this could be an intentional choice, like the rats just being a very disciplined bunch :) Cool… -
UDK - 2-sided Material Flickering
So! I've run into a bit of a problem on a scene I'm working on here. Quite a biggie tbh. It seems to have started when I upgraded to the latest version of UDK. It would seem as if all my 2-sided materials suddenly started to flicker. With these dark and bright squared popping up and disappearing again over a frame or two.…
