Re: [WIP] Armor of kings - Game model
I finally found some time to continue working on this model. I finished the low poly. I can probably still optimize it allot but i want to continue with the uv's. I have 50000 polys so far. @ kanga, thnx for your reply, i am not sure what you find weird with the feet, i didn't flatten the feet in one of the screen captures… -
Re: NLC-DavePhipps
Thanks PyrZern, that should help alot. I checked out the rest of his series and therre are quite a few more there that will help too. I truly wish I hadn't stopped doing art for so long. It's a struggle getting back up to speed. Here was the last decent thing made baxk then. All created in Max, no sculpting. I never… -
Re: Does quad draw (Maya) require a decent graphics card?
I changed the near clip plane to .001, and it really made a difference; it was originally at .1 And for my normal maps; I think I will do a few small experiments and upload them to a thread to get some perspective on that matter. In viewport 2.0, it renders the normal map's crevices as a fairly deep black; however, in the… -
Re: Shadow Star: Modular Starships for PC Game
Absolutely! I love 67P, and this is based on that overall shape, which it turns out is fairly common among 1.5-4.5km objects. I've made about 16 different varieties of asteroids & comets that fit those observed in our solar system. It would be really awesome to have a terrain mesh in 3D that could wrap to a geometry, then… -
Re: ZBrush - Positioning in the centre
This thread is old but Cyrid, your advices are helpful "through time" ! I tried this S.Pivot a few times and couldn't figure out how it worked. Well now I know. And that's a f...king great option in ZB : one more ! :) Thanks dood. Edit : This being said, I tried a bit and S.Pivot resets temporarily the center of an object… -
Re: theoretical pbr question, how does energy conservation work?
Another interesting tidbit, if you have two balls, and you paint one with a glossy white paint, and the other with a glossy black paint, and looked at each of them, you might quite reasonably assume the black one was more reflective. It's not though, the diffuse is simply darker, while the specular reflectivity is the same… -
Re: polygon mesh product copyright law?
H+K will make you pay for using their guns in game, when I worked on 007 legends a few of the weapons had to be distinctly re modeled and re branded with imaginary names because of this...it appears to be on a per game basis too, as our publisher was Activison, and I don't see COD having any issues with licensed weapons :)… -
Re: pig-face
Yeah that's better, I think it reads as flesh from farther away now and I dont have to sit there an try and figure out what is metal and whats not. Looks more alive and less like a zombie too! As far as the paint goes, I was thinking in refrence to the uruk hai sorta like this… -
Re: (Critic Welcome) ConceptArt Portfolio
The bathroom scene looks better with those changes for sure. I really dig the super detailed linework environments, keep working on adding shadows and subtle lighting to make them more readable and give them dimension. Be careful not to let the shadows overpower or obscure the line work though. this is an awesome example… -
Re: Modeling: Maya Vs. Max
I use both Maya and 3dsmax but because I already know Melscript I would like to learn max script... And yeah this thread is a troll guys... hahaha... But the common point with Maya and 3dsmax is autodesk and if you spend 250 000 yen in a Maya licence they will never help you if you report a bug or alert them on the main…
