Re: Looking for advice and techniques for tree leaves
You can get lots of leaves fast if you use particles. I use pcloud on a very simple noisy geosphere that is not renderable. I create a plane and put a double sided leaf image on it with an alpha channel. Make sure to adjust the spin time, and change the particle size and spin time variation. Choose a number of particles to… -
Re: Bathhouse
Looks pretty good man! Solid stuff. On the layout, it's actually pretty decent, you have a nice grid and functionally it's pretty sound too. Though your not making a mosque, the typology and building methods may apply: http://www.islamicarchitecture.org/architecture/themosque.htm Two little crits on the last picture,… -
Re: ZB 4 Subtool Master Error
Top-left. I think there's just ZB4 at the moment, no extra releases. I just gave it a spin and things are working fine for me, both ztl and obj (and importing ztools that have several subtools of their own). I might be taking different steps though, as I don't get that quick-pick window on your screenshot (multi-append… -
Alien Crash - WIP
Hey, So I am starting a scene. I have always liked sci-fi stuff, but I wanted to mix this with some modern day assets in a level.Maybe make it more realistic then the typical sci-fi tech stuff. I am pretty inspired by Crysis . I drew up a concept for the main focus of the level. ( first concept with a tablet btw, let me… -
Hand Painted Environment inspired by Diablo III (WIP)
Hello everyone! I've been working on a project that is based off of a concept from Diablo III. I kind of used this project to learn more about different processes/workflows and I do have to say, I've learned quite a lot! As you notice, this is not a recreation of the concept and just more of a reimagining. Most, if not… -
Is there anything new and cool in Substance Painter?
I use mostly Designer and old version of 3d coat to paint mask for it. For some reason what I get in Painter is always a tad bit blurrier and less pixel-to-pixel accurate. I tried to copy all my fx maps and 32 bit based pixel processors that I did to work with pixel grid snapping in Designer but it's always a pain in your… -
Ergonomics & Modeling - which sofware is best?
Hi all, for the past year or so I have been suffering from pain in the wrist and elbow whenever I model for a long time and it's starting to be really unbearable, to the point that I had to almost stop modeling altogether this summer. There's no way in hell I am quitting 3D over this so I have been trying to figure what… -
Re: The Monthly 'Noob' Character Challenge (01/14)
@Pav3d: yea, I'm definitely keeping up the fight with Zbrush, It's the UI curve that's a pain right now. Also your current model is really fantastic looking, what is the poly count on that right now? @PyrZern: Good to hear I'm not the only one who thinks the UI is painful to look at. I'll take all the advice you gave and… -
Re: red cola (tf2 prop)
If I haven't said it recently, cheese, I love ya. Always a wealth of info, and at exactly the right time too, brilliant! So yea, $phong, you're going to love what it does but it can be a pain to figure out, but what cheese just posted goes a long, long way in making it less of a pain. It might be good to comment out (-- or… -
Re: Trouble with silo 2.0
Yep I select the seam, flatten and that just about does it. Bit of a pain on a complex shape, but the select path is reasonably robust. If I bother to set up an instance mirror I will stick with it for quite a long time, might as well keep it till tweaking more or less. Usually the 'true symmetry' holds up well at that…
