Nice to see someone make my 3dmotive chest. You should really post where you got your reference in your first post online in the future. Just so no one calls you out on that. http://www.3dmotive.com/training/maya/workflow-series-the-treasure-chest-vol-1/ You're doing a nice job on the wood so far. The design of the wood…
Nicely done. It hits the middle ground well between "real world believable" and "made up". I would have to agree with you on the use of more polys but overall it looks like the weapon has a good silhouette. The pistol grip is a bit too squared off to look ergonomic though. I'd just round that baby off a bit more. Also, I…
m1neh: Not sure actually, but I was trying to achieve the look that the glass was thicker in places... Jessica: Thank you. I'm a big fan of your environments so your comment really means a lot to me :) Haven't gotten much work done lately, but I did this little flame thing with plenty of help from this awesome tutorial:…
A hobby should be fun like tennis or jogging. Please get a non art hobby that isn't playing video games even if it like reading WW2 books. P.S. On hobbies, I would limit them. I've personally deleted League of Legends of my computer and i don't play video games anymore. The only hobby I have now is exercise, which for…
The best solution is to bake it in Max. xNormal has a different tangent basis currently then Max or any other program, so you will always get seams when displayed. The only program void of seams from xNormal is Blender, and Marmoset matches up around 80-90% pending on how you work your Normals (but even then, it's very…
If you can sculpt in zbrush then you can already work on scan data. Imagine if another artist sculpted a head and handed it off to you to finish, but it's missing pieces of the ears, covered in noisy bumps and blobs, and the hair is completely unusable. You then go through the process of cleaning/re-sculpting/smoothing all…
Facial Anatomy Sculpt : https://www.artstation.com/artwork/5LyAz I created this 3D anatomy study to help aid my character work. I think its important as a 3D Artist to develop an understanding of mass and form in 3D space as well as doing 2D studies. For reference, I primarily used Eliot Goldfinger's book "Human Anatomy…
For those on a very tight (no budget), and extremely simple home setups, consider checking out this freeware: https://www.2brightsparks.com/freeware/index.html They also offer commercial versions as well. I've used the freeware for the last year and have been very pleased. While it does not offer source control, if you're…
If you are a little more technically minded you can now host static websites using Amazon Web Services S3 buckets [the same place dropbox is hosted] You name a bucket yourdomain.com and create a CNAME reference to the bucket to plug into your registrar. You can then use google apps to redirect www.yourdomain.com to…
You are probably going to want to make a matinee -- it is UDK's internal animation tool. You can set up keyframes on a camera, director groups, etc... much easier than using kismet to hand script this stuff. www.3dmotive.com/ --> has a fantastic series on matinee cutscenes. Sounds like what you are looking for, but its 20…
