Re: Final character/work for portfolio
Bullshit, good art is good art regardless of render method. Ingame renders are required to prove you understand the tech and put it to good use. lighting, composition and presentation skills are universal and work regardless of the rendering pipeline. to the OP I think the folds on the pants are really noisy and random, I… -
Re: (3dsMax) How to approach cloth warping on blade handles
It's funny, because I'm the MrOneTwo - epic fail on my behalf XD Anyway, back on topic - I use Blender and was able to set up a similar system with the handle rotating and moving. I was even able to replicate the vertices following the rotation of the grip. However what I do not understand is how the cloth stays aloft up… -
Re: nDo vs traditional baking
Yeah, a combination of the two has been great for my workflow, personally (Max bake + NDO2). You can't get the normals of curved objects and edges with NDO, so only use it for objects that will remain flat, or the texture is used as a tiling BSP-esque style texture. In that case, it should work fine on curved surfaces, so… -
Re: How would I go about sculpting this jungle branch in zbrush?
Thank you for the replies, I really appreciate it. I should probably explain I am not looking to do a game asset, but a high poly render in blender. I just googled what you said. Was an interesting read, thank you. It doesn't look exactly like I want but I will definitely try to do it that way if I can't get the look I… -
Re: [Maya] IK Handle deforming model
Good practice is good practice, regardless of skill level or project. Im not gonna debate, its moot to the conversation and not helpful for OP @SuperSparkplug, i replicated this problem earlier by rotating the second joint(knee in your case) leaving the rotate values on the joint and applying the IK constraint. If you… -
Re: Understanding averaged normals and ray projection/Who put waviness in my normal map?
I see zero difference at all, actually, so now I'm thinking this "good triangulation" merely helps conceal the issues you get when your renderer and baker are out of sync as we all know max suffers from, because I was able to replicate my claims exactly. This effect was also visible in Source, so I had to recompile my… -
Re: Monthly Environment Art Challenge - May & June 2017 (48)
@Klawd I know right, I'm currently working my way through the door and floor too haha. I'm thinking those big piston things just make no sense really and will have to be removed or made smaller cause it just does not look like it could open comfortably in that space with the mechanism. I't cant really swing out or pull… -
Re: How to display HP Objects
step 1 : find an image showing a composition/presentation setup that you like. (either CG or real). step 2 : try your best to replicate it, down to the exact background color, amount of highlights, reflections, rim light, and so on. By doing that you will likely learn why your current one doesn't work too well (ie : why is… -
Re: [Unity] Tombs of the Ancients
Hey Will. Looks like you're on to something here! I really liked the forms you had going on your first entry - but indeed it looks like you're taking a more mature direction. One thing I liked about your original entry was that there was a boldness of form that the new environment doesn't have. Take that however you want.… -
Re: First Try at Character Sculpting in Zbrush
@PyrZern - At the moment I'm just trying to learn how zbrush applies to characters and replicate what Madeleine Scott-Spencer is doing in the tutorial. What I'll likely do after this is make an anotomically correct skull, and then add muscles to that to get a firm understanding of facial anatomy. I'll be posting that in…
