Re: [Rant] Tutorials
tutorials suck. they make things seem way easier than they actually are, and nobody actually follows the advice in them and takes it to heart. in my experience the only thing they learn is how to make a copy of whatever the presenter is making. the one thing i've learned from making tutorials (and making actual tutorials… -
Re: Simplest way to create specular map
Well here's the method I use for mass producing spec maps. For single stuff that I want to show off or for portfolio work, or if it was for an FPS game, I'd take a longer time. But if I need to mass produce a bunch of them I use my quick method. Step 1: keep my diffuse in layers. Step 2: grab each layer, go to… -
Re: My portfolio ready for critique...
Your logo is too small to read and the D is way too bold Dont take such close up shots from your weapons if the polycount is way too low to look good from close. Just use more polys in general. You want, no you need to impress. If the model looks good, i dont care about the polycount. Same with texture resolution (aslong… -
Re: Heavy combo WIP
Hey Rmunday, pretty good start. I'd definitely stay with the poses more before going spline mode. First swing is pretty good, pull back more in the antic like tholmes suggested. The arc is a bit bumpy. starts diagonal, then horizontal, then dips down diagonal again. keep the tip low as you roll the hand from under to over,… -
Re: Workflow Improvements for unique objects ?
Yea I'm going to have to agree with poopipe on this one. Why are you editing UVs and textures a lot? UV's and textures are some of the last things that should be done when making an asset. I mean doing a quick auto unwrap and smacking some block in textures is fine for most of testing phases and to get the feel of an asset… -
Re: What are you working on 3D? 2021
I'm currently working at vehicles. I'm very new to it, for the longest time even thinking that there is NO way I could ever do anything so elaborate. Then one day I just dove right in, followed some tutorials and tried it. I'm still very much new at it and learning, but I'm loving it so far and feel like I am a step closer… -
Re: Are you self taught?
Not really. This is the first time I contradicted to your statement I apologize for that, but people who've gone to University / College (many of them) were guided through, and rest of them improvised in terms of perfecting their skills (self taught). In other words 50% were guided through 30% relied on others to help them… -
Re: The Beast
I agree with the above 2 posts. I know it's fun to add surface detail to a super high-res mesh, but I don't think you built up slowly enough. One of the biggest problems people have with digital sculpting is subdividing too much too soon or not defining major forms before going crazy with skin detail (those often go… -
Re: Warhammer 40K UDK Critiques
Hey! Looking better, but you're still not quite doing all the steps. I was also going to mention the small, medium, large principle but it has been excellently explained above. Instead I searched on polycount for similar threads to yours and found some interesting links where you can see how other artists approached their… -
Re: Learning MaxScript (Tutorials?)
Looked in the Max help? :) They have quite a lot of stuff just covering the basics and some sample scripts which they go through step by step. Combine that with doing stuff and looking in the Maxscript Listener with the macro recorder turned on, and you should get a pretty good idea of how stuff is put together. If you…
