Re: [WIP] German - Historical - Dunkelgrau & Bronze/Brown
I understand that what I just posted can't just be applied into the PSD over the UVs. Again, it was just for my own way of practicing and getting a better feel for each camouflage pattern's proportions between colors and the amount of space the gray in each pattern takes up. Do you feel these 2D practice images show a good… -
Re: Feedback Please- 3D Dinosaur
its all practice Worble. when i started, i would make a model, see it and be like wow.. this is amazing... but it wasnt. i had trouble seeing it too. just keep practicing and stay motivated. references are your best friend. try and sculpt/model from life images rather then someone elses 3D models! you dont want to make… -
Re: Normal maps, Engines and dull colour palettes!
It's really about workflow, knowledge and practice. I've spent the better part of 10yrs painting textures "old school" and I'm unpracticed in the new generation of artwork so I'm slow as shit. But people like Per, Josh, EQ, etc - all have years of experience with this. They have their pipelines and workflows established,… -
Re: WIP - Hand Painted Texturing
Sectaurs: Thanks, you're right. Color and value variation is something I'm really struggling with. I've been reading a lot on the theory side of it but am having trouble putting it to practice. In general, I either go too far or not enough with things. It's going to be a great day when I finally find a middle ground. :)… -
Re: Need experienced advice on what art path to take.
I would focus on drawing whatever you would model. Plants and objects, interesting architecture, that sort of thing. Drawing and painting are not absolute necessities, but learning them will help you learn other things faster and more thoroughly and your art will most likely be better for it. Most importantly it helps you… -
Re: Cargo container texture
Hi Richard It's not bad for that resolution, but the details are are washed down like an old game from maybe 10 years ago. It might be better practice to go with a higher resolution like 1024 x 1024 if you want to go for a more detailed finished. Even though you have 2 unique sides the overall texture is very repetitive.… -
Re: "I wanted the gun to tell a story."
it's not so much a matter of making it look "clean" or "brand new" or anything like that. the modeling and normal map bake comes out is where the clean part really comes into play. it is how it reads to the viewer, and on this side of it, it leans more towards the texturing end. right now, this is over the top on the… -
Re: Oh damn it, source, why must you suck?!?!
That certainly answers a lot fo questions, I thank you for defining several terms for me. I'm slightly less ignorant, now. However, one question still remains: is it possible to get a skeleton from source into Maya? if so, how? and If it is possible and I do manage to do it, would it still be compatable with all the other… -
Re: [WIP] Subway
Andy, sorry but candy-coating what I wrote wouldn't have been what I really wanted to say. I'd really like to see the mold get broken with people starting out in 3D and see more than a boring environment with no real sense of purpose. Sure, you need to learn the tools and get a familiar work flow down - thats a give. At… -
Re: 1st Person Aynaymayshyun
Yeah I know, was just for practice. If it would've been for a game I'd make it a lot faster. :) I cheated, looked up a picture of a hairy arm, desaturated it, played with the contrast/levels and overlayed it on my texture. Black is indeed an awesome game. :3 Might add some sound later on, need to make some tweaks and then…
