Cool/weird cubemap shader effects?
I was discussing this with some people at work and we were trying to determine how the sword effects in this Guild Wars 2 video were achieved: [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_J_spuKY3oQ"]Guild Wars 2 Legendary Greatsword Twilight - YouTube[/ame] It's pretty obvious that they're projecting a cubemap on the mesh and… -
FlashL's Work Bench
Hi all, about time I created one of these. I only have a few projects, & one submission. Any criticism is HIGHLY welcome. A lycan concept I have been working on, I have some 3D for it though it's not too strong - this was designed as a practice for developing a workflow with Modo SE The above was for the Monthly Noob… -
How efficient are interior mapping materials?
After playing the new Spider-Man game for a little while, I was inspired to try replicating the interior mapping effect used on buildings in the game. It looks a lot more convincing than the parallaxing texture techniques I’ve used before (though my setup still needs some tweaking) but I was wondering just how resource… -
Spamtastic's Improvement Thread
Hello Polycounters, I've been working in the industry for a little while now and I have noticed my ability level has become stagnant for some time now and probably lacking in many areas. I am making this thread to help me keep on track while improving myself as an artist. If you would like to help me out by giving tips or… -
Making "Wings of Light" (Cascade Help/Suggestions)
Hey out there, So I've been trying to replicate these wings for the final part of my project in UDK, and I keep running into walls. Here's the video for reference.

Doc Ock
Hiya everyone, so I've decided to make my first game model, as I'm targeting a career in character modeling for Games and I'd appreciate any help from you guys. I've only made one model before but that was using displacement maps, so I'm trying to replicate the actual games process, from what I've gathered this is how I'm… -
Browning pistol!
Hello guys, I've been trying to replicate a pistol and this is the result so far. Let me know what you think would you? Critique is highly appreciated! Something i'd like to ask is if someone has an idea why the grip of the pistol isn't smooth even though it's got a single smoothing group. You can clearly see the vertical… -

What exactly does average normals and set face do in Maya?
I started using them today because I was getting some different smoothing/shading on an asset I was fixing but I looked at the prior asset, trying to replicate the same look and I was having trouble until I started messing around with average normals ant set face. Granted now things are looking better but I have no idea… -
Raven - Teen Titans (2004 Show)
Hello Guys! This is a 3d model I have been working on for quite a while but on which I am getting a bit stuck on when it comes to texturing. I am not really sure how to replicate a stylized texturing without the model looking a bit dull and unfinished. So far I am very happy about the face, but I am not really sure where…
