I've been following a new Zbrush tutorial and am enjoying it quite a bit. I am pretty happy with how it's coming so far and am looking forward to continuing it.
You can generate a curvature map from your normal map in XNormal or Substance Designer as well as Knald. You can also bake a curvature map in XNormal. The reason why you usually would want to have a curvature map is because it helps you create wear on the edges of your model and dust and dirt in the crevasses, so you…
Did you ever want to share your nodes across all blender files, and feel it is messy to do this in a right way, here is why Node Kit coming in. Node Kit is a convenient way to manage your nodes in Blender. You can easily save your nodes in a global preset, and then restore it to any object later on even in another blend…
Hello Polycount! With me finishing the Tesla's Laboratory project, I needed a new project for the portfolio and for further practicing. I knew I needed to get on with level kit art, so I figured, why not do a Unreal Tournament map. That's what I did. I started making a UT map aimed mainly for Deathmatch and Duels, maybe…

Okay! First I want to compliment you again on how good it looks! I wouldn't be writing a critique this if your work wasn't this nice, and I'm looking forward your to next pieces. I've got pretty much only anatomy pointers. I tried to color-code so they're easier to read but the text colors are changing once posted, haha.…
Looking groovy I love the shot of him scratching his head with one hand and looking at his massive claw like he's trying to work out what the fuck to do with it- he does have a lot of personality The only real critisism that I would give is the flesh texture- there's no clear lightsource, which makes the muscles look too…
I've been reading through the UDK forums and noticed a lot of people were complaining about the lack of content included with it (ungratefuls). Anyway, in an attempt to help out my fellow programmers and non artistic folk, I've decided to share my hi poly bits so people could use them for baking low poly models. Anyone…
Like the titles says. How do you handle eyelids? Particularly for next-gen, realistic characters, with a focus on fidelity of animation and expression. Do you sculpt with eyes closed and let the riggers sort it out? Eyes open? Best practice for topology? All of my work has pretty much ignored the issue up until this point.…
