Re: How learn to sculpt everthing
When styding human anatomy, you have to be consistent and study the anatomical foundations layer by layer, and part by part. This is usually a good way to start: 1. Overall proportions of the human body (typically a realistic 7.5 heads and heroistic 8 heads). 2. Individual proportions of limbs (head, arms, torso, legs). 3.… -
Re: [UE4] Tibetan monastery interior
Okay some more tests.. made a normal map and put it on a decal actor so I could break up some of the repetition without using a new mesh. It has to be a flat surface because the decal uses planar projection and it stretches over curved surfaces. also shading is kinda messed up apparently I need to enable DBuffer in UE4 so… -
Re: New to Zbrush Please leave feedback :)
Regarding your second model: Right now, the design feels weak and lacks direction. I know you mention you feel like you can make edits on the fly in Zbrush with your concepts, but unless you're pumping out thumbnails and variant sketches, you're only shooting blindly in the dark one at a time instead of really… -
Re: Working with textures.
Colour and diffuse maps are the same thing (at least, when referring to them in game art terms). They should contain just as much detail as the other maps, it's just that they just all contain different information. The diffuse contains the colour information of the surface and usually there's at least a wee bit of implied… -
Re: anyone else who went to PAX get sick?
part of a long email that was sent around at work from HR How long can an infected person spread this virus to others? People infected with seasonal and 2009 H1N1 flu shed virus and may be able to infect others from 1 day before getting sick to 5 to 7 days after. This can be longer in some people, especially children and… -
Re: Benelli M3 Super 90
A surface normal is white/1 when directly facing the light ray (light ray is opposite the surface normal), 0/black when perpendicular to the light ray, and -1/(also black) when facing away (the light ray is the same as the surface normal). Per uses 'sub-black' as an artist-friendly way of representing a negative number… -
Re: Voodoo Senior Project
You need to steer away from the "highschool emo" concept of "red" for blood when it comes to surfaces. Unless you JUST stabbed someone and the blade is currently inside of them, blood will dry and soak into those surfaces. Look at films like Chainsaw Massacre, Saw, Silence of the Lambs, or the new Friday the 13th when it… -
Re: Max 2010 Modeling tools - any early impressions?
I'm sorry if I've appeared to be arrogant. The entire point here is not to simply "get it done", but to get it done right. I can get it done in a day, too, but that hasn't been good enough for our purposes as it didn't keep all the characteristic features. That's where it gets complicated... All the retopo tools work with… -

Re: Question for Prop Modelers
Why test bakes though? Once you finish the final UV important errors would be clearly visible. I usually do UV cage, test bake, if there are any errors, if there are I'd add some blockers. final bake. Side Note: What about leaves or other very flat surfaces? (I do see that you said that this method is for hard surfaces but…
