I made other assets with the same process. For the table, I gone into ZBrush to add big holes. Then, I returned the tabletop to create a second asset, with the same topology/texture. Regarding the bucket and the watering can, I'm not happy with the water, any advice? I think I'll have to homogenize the dirt level while I…
Well Display Port is the most flexible, the only one that supports G-Sync, and is supporting higher resolutions at higher framerates quicker than HDMI. Also Display Port can be converted to DVI or HDMI without any issues. VGA is just crap and shouldn't be used. With DVI you do need to make sure you are using a Dual Link…
Hmm...I had a conversation with one of their sales agents.At first,he said the student version can't be used for commercial purposes. When I mentioned I read on their forums on an old thread that the student version can be used for commercial stuff in the US.He said he will get back to me,and later said it's fine and can…
Alright, so I've gotten a lot further with my low poly. I feel like I'm pretty close to being done and ready to start UVing, but before I do, I'd really like to get another round of critiques on it. I'm sitting at ~13k tris right now (a LOT more than I was expecting lol!) Unless someone has a better alternative, I've…
I did a little research on "exploding." Does that mean moving the pieces so that they are not touching and then putting the pieces together after the bake? I think I'll try that idea. However, I'm difficulty moving a high poly piece to the low poly piece. I've read this technique about using keyframes when exploding to…
My dad used to be into photography like 20 years ago, and he brought his lenses from Ukraine. Left to right, soviet Zenith Tair-11A 135 mm f/2.8 soviet Arsenal (I think) Granit-11N 80-200 mm f/4.6 DDR Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 20mm f/2.8 all manual (obv) but it's still kinda fun to use them. Haven't really taken anything…
It's just like when AMD released their 64 bit line. It was a LOT cheaper and much faster. Now its Intel's time to shine for a while, and then AMD will most likely come out with something to stomp Intel in 2-3 years. I'll probably stick with my current rig for a while longer (AMD 3000+ stock 1.8ghz OCd to 2.7ghz on stock…
Chainswords are meant to be seen from the side. The front is the least exciting view of a chainsword, they're all about the silhouette. Can you post some side shots of this? The blade in the 34th's shot seems both too thin and not deep enough. Additionally, your proportions for your blade are totally off. With the way a…
Thanks for the replies guys, I really appreciate it. Ill get to work on re baking everything. Since reprojecting the normals doesnt work I am just curious as to how you guys work with unique uvs. (like the bottom example of the unsmoothed tangents section here…
There's no blanket answer here. Figure out what your hourly rate should be, then estimate how much time it should take to complete. Multiply time by 130% or so to cover revisions, etc. This is what you should charge. Make sure you know exactly what the client wants. Is it a simple model from a concept that they will…
