sulaco APC/getting the most out of my spec maps
Hey guyse, I'm currently texturing this vehicle model I built. Some of you may recognize it. Here is the normal mapped version w/ diffuse only: Understandably it looks pretty bland, as I purposefully left the metal/paint fairly deconstrasted, wanting to bring out all the dynamic detail in the spec map. Well, here it is… -
Re: Can't see UV's in Mari
check to see if the uvs are in default uv set map1 inside maya. Mari won't read uvs that are not in default uv set -
Re: Getting realistic renders the right way??
I suggest you look at training websites like Digital Tutors for visualisation pieces. Creating a realistic render is a combination of several skills - modelling, lighting, texturing and then actually understanding the render settings to make the most of what you have in scene. In regard to Fade1's advice, I believe that's… -
Are you ready to BRAWL?
For those of you who have been hiding under a rock, a few days ago Polycount officially withdrew from the Dominance War contest. Despite the bad news, the Polycount community was given some good news that we'll be hosting our very own contest. Since the announcement was made, we've worked hard to get this this contest off… -
I always combine meshes in Maya first when I want a shared texture set. Am I doing this right?
Hi, I hope the title is not too confusing! What I meant was: - I model the base meshes in Maya and for sculpting/texturing I place them next to each other and combine them to one asset. I'm also doing the UV mapping there so the combined mesh has no overlapping going on. - from there I export it to ZBrush and then to… -
Re: Have anyone figured out how new Curvature Smooth node works in Designer?

But it's extremely hard to read and figure out form their math nodes really as if they specifically tried to make it cryptic vs Blender for… -
Getting normals out of ZBrush
I've just created a tiling texture on the canvas and am trying to get a good normal map. I just used the simple brush and drug the normal material over everything but I can't seem to get a good map that isn't aliased to hell. Even with render/ best it's still pretty gnarly. Is there a setting I'm overlooking? -
[MAYA] Creating straight uvs in maya for pixel art texture , cant get straighten uvs to work
Hello all. I am currently working on a character and I want it to have pixel textures. I am confused about how to straighten uvs. I am currently trying it with this simple mesh, but whenever I try to straighten it, it looks deformed and you can see the stretching on the checker map. I tried different values of the… -
Re: [Portfolio Review] Character Artist trying to get to the next level
Hey Nick, Firstly, the link you posted to your personal site seems to be either incorrect or broken, so I can't critic much on that front. The second link works fine and based on what I saw, just 2 samples, I would suggest doing some anatomical exercises. The anatomy you have is loose at best. I'm not big on fictions… -
BRAWL2 [Character] Tracy, pxgeek
I’ll be sticking to the fighting game genre, drawing from Battle Arena Toshinden 2. Toshinden and Toshinden 2 were some of the first 3d fighting games I remember playing and enjoying…and especially liked seeing all the character illustrations in magazines, with Tracy being the standout. image source:…
