How do you set the pivot point for an object to be one of its vertices? I've been looking for an answer for this for an hour now and I can't find a thing. I know I need to use the custom pivot editing tool but I can only move the pivot in relation to the grid; I can't force the object's pivot point to be set from one of…
Hi there guys. I posted this first at the WAYWO thred. This little prop is my first attempt at working with Hand Painted Textures. It was a collaboration between me and the mexican illustrator alejandra de la cruz. I did the modelling part as well as well as the normal, specular, gloss maps generated from the diffuse that…
Yes. To be good at hand painted style, you have to learn how to... umm... paint. I suggest getting a sketch book, and drawing a little every day. Draw only the things you see, not imaginary things. Forces you to observe! Post your drawings here for critique. Implement feedback. Rinse, repeat. Drawing and painting are…
Hey there. I think you are on the right track. What strikes me from the original image is that each rock does feel like its placed with care , even though it's scrappy. The shadows all align to make a feeling of place and form in the mountain. The marks and edges of the rocks are hard and forced, like real rocks, in…
Trying to use paint deform with a camera map world space modifier on top of my stack. Seems buggy i.e. my paint brush disappears. I tried with another WSM and had the same issue - any ideas if there is a solution? I need to see the end result of the WSM to see my projected texture.
Hi fellow CG artists! How would you feel if one of these days, some guy will grab one of your best 3d art pieces, have it printed and sell it online and offline pretending he was the artist that did it? Well that's what exactly happened to one of Alex Huguet's best 3d art pieces..First check out Alex Huguet's work in…
Hey again PolyCount, Just put my model into substance painter just to see if everything looks alright, then when I started painting I noticed parts of my model were dissapearing and that some of my UVs were missing. Also if you were one of the people that helped me with my previous problem then thank you. I didn't reply to…
Hey Polycount! Haven't posted in a long time, thought i'd rejoin yall! hopefully with something everyone will enjoy :) So I'm working on an environment based loosely on a New Zealand forest while I learn to hand paint textures. some reference and ideation. The initial plan, without foliage(i've since decided to tone the…
Hey guys Little something about myself - I am a 3D character artist with a passion for 3D printing, I upload my models for people to download free for 3D printing. So recently on my birthday, I was browsing through YouTube for the latest 3D printers. As I was watching this commercial video for a new 3D printer; suddenly I…
The style of this piece is very appealing. I don't necessarily agree on sharpening up the tree and plank textures. Those are more organic elements, so it is understandable that they would have sharper definition. I do think that the vines you are painting need some more detail, though. Also, from a technical standpoint, I…
