Re: Texturing a Racetrack Help!!
You will want to, usually for a case like this, to unwrap your road as a single long strip and tile your road pattern on it. What do you mean by 'curves'? Usually places on roads that have curves lack any kind of 'clean noise' detail, to specifically avoid issues like this, so you could try another texture? Although,… -
Re: The basics of creating pseudo volume textures in Substance Designer - Tutorial
Procedurals are hard to treat right, and require a lot of tweaking to get the desired results. I experimented with them a lot. You can check them out in my Unreal sketchbook thread. They usually provide much higher quality though, and allow various shading and tracing methods. Using signed sdf volumes allows you to use… -
Re: Wow Legion environment art - Faf
Hey :) Thank you again for your kind messages ! @Gannon : I usually use one of the channel of the normal map that I generated ( green or red, depends of the direction) to create my bounce light. I just put it as a mask for a single color layer in photoshop and twick the levels of it to have the level of contrast that I… -
Re: Polycount's Sketch Thread!
Cheers, tda! The gestures usually take about 30-45 seconds, but I always come back to tighten up and finish the gesture afterward, usually about 5 mins in total. I'm getting faster, just a bit out of practice. Daven: HHHHHHHHOOOLLLYY PISS that's an amazing character concept. Design wise, and execution. Some recent… -
Re: Sketchbook: jramauri
Some nice ideas in there already. It'll be interesting to see how the armour turns out sculpted instead of poly modelled -- it usually winds up spongy when I've done it that way. The posture is a little odd. Usually a character with a mighty hunch like that slouches as well, but your monster is surprisingly upright. For me… -
Re: Analytical Thinking
Too much do I see people who do everything in their lives without thinking about how to do it better. Usually all they have is what they've been taught/shown/had passed down/spoon-fed and nothing more. They don't try to figure things out/question things on their own, it's always up to someone else to show them how.… -
Re: 3D in games. Do you see faults when you play?
When I play games I usually end up looking at models and textures no matter how fun the game is to play. I also tend to explore and reach places I'm not meant to and sometimes I stumble upon an easter egg hidden above the skybox. To be honest I find the gameplay of most games dull compared to the art. If I find a stretched… -
Re: Maya UV relax
Try giving Unwrap a try? I haven't used Relax in a long time. The trick is that you sometimes need to be a little selective when using it. Like if you did a quick UV Based on Camera, and have a set of faces that were close to perpendicular from the camera: I'd select that set and unwrap them horizontally (or vertically if… -
Re: Plane modelling help.
just do it and learn from that. You seem to favour patch modeling thats fine - I use it often for character faces. The thing that suprises me is that you already have so many subdevisions even though you just started. I myself (I am not saying its the right way) usually would have far less polygons at such a state. Because… -
Re: Rigging and Contortionism
They are a little "puffy" on the upper edge. That is to say that they lack the usual inward curve, if that is what you're going after, it's actually somewhat intentional. With her sculpted build, soft and natural looking breasts actually look rather out of place. Perhaps that was a mistake, but it is one I'll likely stick…
