Re: Rapid Prototyping Questions
I used to work for Offload Studios back when they up and some general tips I can point out for general 3d printing stuff is: No instanced geometry, it wont print. all normals facing the correct direction make sure all pieces have some amount of intersection otherwise it will fall apart/off , you can just simply go in and… -
Re: Bombay
Hey mistry, great work as always man... but I do have one thing that is bugging me a bit. Most of your pieces so far have been shot at ground level... and it usually works nicely (get a sense of scale)... but one thing that you hadn't played with before (from what I've seen from your work) is foreground elements, such as… -
Re: UV'ing low poly models
You don't need to use any of the area outside of the usual 0-1. When you mirror the geometry, if you've unwrapped the UVs already then the duplicated geometry will already have the same UVs. They will be right on top of the originals though so unless you have Mayas shade UVs on then you won't see it. So the UVs are now… -
Re: creative design
sups David Well this usually depends on how much freedom I have for the final product. If I'm just doing something for myself I usually start out with a tiny scribble/silhouette and basically just start picking out shapes while I'm keeping the pencil moving. For instance if some shape starts taking the look of an arm, id… -
Re: how's the salary for artists??
Depends on how big your balls are. Only after they mention salary should you start negotiating, generally you should never start talking about it yourself (unless they actually say you're hired but never mention the compensation). If the amount is low, I would tell them you've heard X amount is the usual starting pay for… -
Re: Rogue Agent in game heads
Great stuff again, but for some reason I prefer the newer ones (the original topic pics) - IMHO the likenesses are more consistent in those. The John Cleese one here, I don't think the area around his eyes is dark enough, or has enough wrinkles, and his face looks slightly the wrong shape in the front view. Looks fine in… -
[UE4] A More Fantastical Setting
Hi everyone, I'm starting a new project. I want to deviate from my usual themes and start something different, something more 'fantastical', something that will allow a change in style. Before I get started however, I need your help to decide on a concept. I have found several I like and I want to make all of them almost… -
High to Low Poly Workflow?
Hey everyone, I am having trouble figuring out how I should make a normal map for a character; it seems like there are so many different ways; should I make a high-poly and then build the low-poly around it, or make a low-poly and build the high-poly to fit it? I have usually been making a low-poly and trying to build a… -
Zbrush prop wip... *updated* still noobing it
This is just a silo viewport grab to test out exporting. Modeling in Silo and detailing in Zbrush. Posting a bit to early even for a wip but I wanted to get some feedback before I continue on tonight. I don't think I'm getting everything I can out of my sub d levels. Current poly count is 500,000 on this piece. I am using… -
Re: Looking for experienced 2D and possibly 3D Artists
Hello, Wasn't long at all would like to hear more :) About texture size it all depends on texel density of course but I never recommend more than 4k on one texture, specially in an old engine. Instead if the game engine has UDIM support or can it be modified to support it we can have turn each texture into 4 to upscale…
