Re: How does one get motivated For 3D modeling
I'm in my final month of college so right now my main motivation to model is to get a passing mark haha. Seriously though my motivation comes from the fact that i just like to make models and getting to learn new Technics as well as seeing how easy making something is the second time doing it and getting to see how much i… -
Re: anyone here ever have carpal tunnel? can you get it in both wrists?
I started getting RSI pains/tingling in my fingers and wrists at the end of last year. I'd been doing a lot of artwork at home on top of my time in the office and was also playing videogames more than I normally do these days (curse you Assassin's Creed III/Hotline Miami!). It was getting pretty bad, but I took some time… -
Why you should double edge loops in sub-d
I remember reading the sub-d thread a while back, and racer445 said something about doubling edge loops and how it makes sub-d models looks more professional, well, it's not just that, it's also practical. People asked and he didn't really show why you should, so I thought I'd share my findings. I don't know if this is… -
Re: [WIP] Lords of the Fallen - Pieta - need feedback on UV's
Typically you'd overlay tiling detail maps in-engine and/or secondary UVs to get things like fabric weave. I'm not a character artist so I don't know if 8 sets is too many, but my gut says it is :lol: You probably want to look into layered materials and detail maps if you're unfamiliar with the concepts. I get that its a… -
Re: What has the games industry been like for you?

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… -
Re: [WIP] Vampire Librarian Character Bust
@Quasar thanks for your feedback! i agree, it looks a bit strange, and i can see the difference it made when i started applying some more detail on the skirt. i might go back to refine the blouse a little bit too, but in general i can see the improvement!
