I actually just try to get started anywhere. I am afraid that just doing what I enjoy is not necessarily what helps me find a job. The most fun I had replicating classical sculptures or paintings but I dont know if that kind of work is really needed.
Why not open the tile sampler and take a look at how it looks? The default Substances are just ripe for picking. Take the image into photoshop and write down notes on the features you see and what needs to be replicated. Basically just make a plan rather than trying to wing it and you'll thank yourself.
It's hard to say if this is the case based on the cropped screenshots, but I know you can replicate an identical result if you don't have materials turned on for the tool (ie: RGB only). Drop out of edit mode and check to make sure you're set to MRGB before going back to edit.
I had quite a play around with this and it's pretty cool. However, i really don't have a clue how i did most of what i did, certainly couldn't replicate it. Whether that's my fault or the seemingly hella confusing interface i don't know, but this is how i felt
Had a bunch of things all hit the fan at once the past couple weeks, but I'm still in it! Got the low poly built and did a test bake. Gonna go add more details to the arms and legs to make them more visually interesting. Probably replicating the patterning on the head in places.
Mate those are AWESOME thanks ! They work very well, I did some quick tests. Any tips for spreading the leaf planes over the tree ? Tried using instancing solutions like modo replicators but got inefficient results, so atm resorted to instance them one by one :(
Very good points cdevens, Very good reference I will defiantly go home and play that act when i get home and try to break down what they are doing and replicate it in the scene. And also go in and revive the color maps, it also may be some of my post process settings.
Very sorry this happened to you. I once found out that an art school was using my renders of character wireframes as an instructional tool. The assignment was to replicate my models from the images. I was flattered but at the same time students were paying money to a school to learn off of art I freely released to the…
LOL, the comparisons and repeated replication is ridiculous so anyone looking to play a new game of a favorite will ultimately just play the same game under a different title, how do these people make money like this and how does the public not know they are playing their same favorite games? but paying twice, confusing.…
