I think I've mentioned this before, but I'd like to repeat how much I love the layer system in Blender (usually), because you can change them with the number keys, and Shift+number keys for showing multiple ones. I generally put the different parts of the highpoly on the first five layers, lowpoly parts and versions in 6-9…
You've already done some work in this regard: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/r03ZE What is significantly different from the images in your artstation compared to the characters you shared? I'm not convinced that they used photosourced textures ( I've seen a lot of Darksiders art over the years tho its been a while) but…
I'm trying to get my head around this stuff as I type, pretty much, so I hope this doesn't come out as a sprawling mess! Im at a similar stage to you but I have managed to get a little further. The main problem for me is that the Crysis Wars editor is different from the main Crysis one. I only found a small mention of this…
I meant it is good that you try out things with your presentation. Not many people do that and thumbs up for that. I was talking about Fonts. The text you use in your presentation. A typeart is called font. And there are multiple kinds of fonts, but the most important difference is with serif and sans serif fonts.…
I'm the one that said some of the newer hats are only using AO. And that's because of the painting system... Really that's your choice if you'd want it to be paint able or not (I think it's a cool option and a good hat for it) With only AO and a proper alpha channel your hat could be any color in game, if you don't want…
I have had terrible problems at home running the later versions of unreal engine, ie crashing if I even sneeze too loud. Lots of different solutions to try , but only one of them worked for me , I just reset my Nvidia control panel to default. Now it works perfectly, does not crash at all. currently running 5.6 using…
I am still learning the technical stuff. I had to look up "Color Space". Oh, and the reason I'm not just collapsing all the layers is 'cause some layer types don't work when collapsed. I've already tried converting it to a PSD and opening it in Photohop. I just did it again and tried to work out exactly what was messing it…
I'm no programming expert but I always imagined something like this would fix the problem. //fake-code Layer_1.rename('High Poly Helmet') would intelligently replace the spaces with underscores or maybe add a label attribute to be the layers visible name in the layer area. Layer_1.relabel('High Poly Helmet') and then the…
Looking good hykare! When I do handpainted stuff like this I like to work with multiple layers. This may or may not be standard and potentially makes things take a bit longer. I just enjoy a non-destructive workflow which let's me go back and make changes. I'd suggest a layer with your flat colour, a layer with a guide for…
also to get rid of the borders created by layer effects, if you pad your art on the outside of the shown area, the layer effects will take effect on the whole layer, not just whats in canvas. so you can crop your layer effected area to the exact size of your canvas, then slide it over, select a one pixel lip on each of the…
