Re: Advise for a 3D Artist laptop
Hi Jed, Thanks for your reply. I don't use game engines in my production pipeline but sometimes it happened. I would like to find a powerful / reliable / Nice design PC to create 3d when I'm on the move. But I always use a second screen as my main screen. I do have an Asus at the moment. But it's way too big and heavy +… -
Re: Texturing Across Seams, in photoshop or equivalent software.
After all that you tell us you have 3 X 3d painting options....:) Yes, definitely. Once you have your camo painted seamlessly in, say, Mudbox, you can work away in PS knowing that the pattern is seamless. Just curious why you would choose to do all this in 2d in PS when you have a powerful 3d painting solution like MB at… -
Re: IN PROGRESS: Suite.exe won't open
Right now actually I am experiencing this exact same thing. What happened was there was a power outage. Everything else is working. Tried to uninstall and reinstall photoshop and quixel suite. Restart computer several times. But quixel pops up for a second and then disappears. Photoshop and all other apps are OK. Obviously… -
Re: What would be the best way to model these shapes?
I would suggest learning how subdivision works. Your helmet reference picture has a mix of curved and angular pieces, which are easy to generate with subdivision surfaces, once you understand how it works. It's super powerful, really worth the time to learn. The first few videos here will get you started. Plus the football… -
Re: Maxon Announces Cinema 4D R17
Indeed the sculpting tool is very powerful, considering what it is, the Project Mesh was a nice addition, but I noticed it uses only 2 of my 4 CPU cores, and that can take a very long time if your mesh is quite dense. I remember there was a plugin that worked in a way similar to Polypaint but is now gone, I hoped they were… -
Re: Do we really need to be Uv mapping in 2015?
I don't know about that, I use Maya for all my UV needs, and I can unwrap anything in a very short amount of time with great efficiency. If I had to make ends meet with another unwrap program. It'd definitely be Unfold 3D, super powerful. I still wonder to myself it PTEX will be the next thing to insert itself into the… -
Re: Having massive trouble PBR texturing. Help needed please
If you are new to PBR texturing it could be worth reading the Allegorithmic PBR guides. It's a really well put together guide that will go over the theory and practice of the texturing process. I personally use Substance now for my texturing as I find it really powerful and flexible. Just dive into the texturing process… -
Re: [UE4] WIP The Catiline Conspiracy - An Unreal Cinematic Series
Hi everyone, I just wanted to drop by and share some more progress on my project, here is an establishing shot of the Senate before the cut to the actual senate scene. I was going for a more epic and powerful version of the senate than the actual Senate house. The block on the stairs pedestals are just stand ins for… -
Re: Modeling on a laptop
I have this from work: http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/precision-m6800-workstation/pd And it's great for me, super powerful, great screen, great keyboard. Bulky, but what do you expect. I also have a docking station for it so I can just attach my monitors to it and use those. I don't mind the screen being smaller when I… -
Re: Texel density question
I just do it by guess-timation. I pack everything pretty evenly, so the texels are all the same size on the model, and use the most space. Then I try to pick a texture size which is the closest in resolution to my desired texture density. Just a visual test with a checker bitmap, are the pixels too blurry, too sharp? It's…
