Hey guys I am having a huge problem with weight painting in maya. On certain joints, when i paint black to remove any influence on the vertices, one of the verticies will snap straight down to the centre of the grid (0,0,0) and does not react to anything but a pure white value (in which it goes back to its normal position)…
Hey, just posting this up quickly for some crit. A friend oh mine at work painted a fantastic concept, which I'll post up soon, and I couldn't help trying to make it. Fairly low poly, working more on my painting. Still trying to get a decent highlighted edge to it. If I smooth all the faces it helps, but then I get some…
Been trying my hand at a stylized, hand painted work flow for game assets, similar to Blizzard's hand painted style of texturing. One thing I have been trying to wrap my head around is using multiple normals from tiled textures for general texture, as well as including normals from sculpting in zbrush, for eg: hard planar…
Hi, I'm trying to paint some hair-cards on to a character model in Maya but they're all generating with a huge offset in the y axis. http://imgur.com/glTTgv4,hMglIGK,Qj5ITka,mDaUn0Y#2 I've attached some pictures to this post for clarification.

Hey there, I'd like to share my progress on my first big prop I've made in hand-painted style. All the textures are painted by hand in PS. Modeled in Blender. This prop was designed by concept artist Mikita Kavalienka (https://www.artstation.com/artwork/nQQQ9X). I'm working now on roof tiles texture, then I'll start…
Hi guys, I've been releasing content on this site for awhile now and wanted to promote my eBook on hand-painted texturing for stylized art. (Shameless plug) This short eBook is perfect for anyone wishing to improve their textures or begin learning about hand painted texturing. The Bread and Butter teaches a variety of…
Hey guys, A lot of the hand painted pieces such as Erics and CerisierEnFleur has inspired me to get my feet wet and practice some hand painted metal and wood. I've never done it before (always been working on realism) so figured it would be great to take a stab. Here's my results .. feedback is appreciated. Thanks everyone…
Hi there! First of all: Yes, I did a search on this but all I was able to find were old threads and the discussion about the Surface. If there is a thread on this Topic I apologise for doubling up, but I didn´t find any. I am just making my first steps in Digital Art and I am enjoying it, but I see that I need much…
Hello Polycount, This is my first time posting here on Polycount. I am looking to get some constructive critiques that can forward my skills. I attend Full Sail University and I am in a texture painting class. I am enjoying it, but I want to push myself further. Attached here is my first hand painted project in this class…
