[WIP] Roman Gladiator
Hi! recently I've been watching a lot of "Spartacus: Blood and Sand". As gladiators are usually half-naked, I find them a good way to train topology. However, I decided to do this one with a helmet, because I wanted to get some battle damage on it, such as bulging parts, and deep cuts / scratches. So I'll post my progress… -
Re: Scale each square of the Vector noise by individual origins??
Sure possible. But you wouldnt scale the squares themselves. More like creating a mask for them, where the tile size is adjustable. it would go like: Take a 2d coordinate that has the same vector length as the xy elements of the noise grid. so in this case, it goes to 5,5. then put frac on this, and subtract 0.5. then put… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | May - June (78)
Hi guys! There's a lot of great stuff here. Here's my model right now. I haven't done any of the foliage or ground yet, since I have to learn those skills before trying it out 😂. I used this challenge to try and make a model that's as efficient as I could (tri-wise). I was able to get it down to 10,360 tris, with the most… -
Re: Blender 2.9 particle system (hair) emitter display problem.
Blender displays particles of non-hair particle systems as spheres by default. I'm sorry if I'm suggesting something you've already done but double-check all of your particle systems to see if there's an extra unconfigured one. If I had to hazard a guess I'd say it's the ParticleSettings.001 listed below the Groom one—can… -
Re: [WIP] Armor of kings - Game model
I finally found some time to continue working on this model. I finished the low poly. I can probably still optimize it allot but i want to continue with the uv's. I have 50000 polys so far. @ kanga, thnx for your reply, i am not sure what you find weird with the feet, i didn't flatten the feet in one of the screen captures… -
Re: Best practices for model with interactive screens/displays?
For animating, there's a number of options. I think the most straightforward but uses the most materials would be to have each button as its own object using a generic white glow map (or a series of these with different text labels on each). Then on trigger, animate the color of the glow via the shader. Another option,… -
Re: [WiP] A Pilgrim's Mountain Journey: A Material Blending Project
Getting back into things. Soon done with the rock material (I hope): @Flight I didn't plan on doing any mesh support for my materials. Though I may consider doing if I want to add rock meshes to my scene before I call it done. @zachagreg I'm mostly just eyeballing the values, trying to keep it around 0.5 linear (because… -
Re: NLC-DavePhipps
Thanks PyrZern, that should help alot. I checked out the rest of his series and therre are quite a few more there that will help too. I truly wish I hadn't stopped doing art for so long. It's a struggle getting back up to speed. Here was the last decent thing made baxk then. All created in Max, no sculpting. I never… -
Re: Does quad draw (Maya) require a decent graphics card?
I changed the near clip plane to .001, and it really made a difference; it was originally at .1 And for my normal maps; I think I will do a few small experiments and upload them to a thread to get some perspective on that matter. In viewport 2.0, it renders the normal map's crevices as a fairly deep black; however, in the… -
Re: R.I.P - Paul Steed
I met Paul first in 2005 at GDC and then again last year when he moved his team from Florida to Austin, which became UTV Ignition Austin. I was already working as FX Artist in the Austin studio on Faxion Online. Paul's team needed some help with their prototype console game and since i'd used UE3 before the creative…
