Re: Portfolio feedback
Wix is fine, it gives the most freedom of all website builders i tested, but yeah its only as good as you make it. The presets are definitely the worst. So bad for beginners good for designers with no web skills. In this case he should probably switch tho. What you need to do right now is just keep on modeling and doing… -
Re: Heavily Modified P90 "Savage Hunter"
Ideally you want AO bakes with everything together. Otherwise the stuff that's occluding the light isn't in the correct places and you don't get a proper representation of the AO. Just explode out all the parts that would be animated and have obviously misplaced AO should they move (e.g. the top of the magazine that's in… -
Re: Roller CAT
I think what's said above is pretty good advice. The only things I would have to add is that you could have gone with less polys on some places like the tires and wheels (I think too many edgeloops), the engine cover part (in which some polys aren't really needed)or the door (I don't think you needed to model the handle).… -
Re: Critique: Retro-inspired grassland/forest environment.
Although Zelda is definitely an influence on this project, it isn't really my intention to totally replicate the Link to the Past look. I've also been referencing a lot of the pixel art used in the SNES-era Squaresoft and Enix RPGs, which tend to have a lot more detail. I'm more or less trying to find a happy medium… -
Re: Gold ore substance
To improve your substance, you need to work on the height and shapes of your rocks Right now they look very uniform and noisy, without clearly defined shapes. Choose a reference, for example from textures.com https://www.textures.com/download/pbr0175/133213?q=rock Here is one: This is the height map of this material.… -
Re: Sketchbook: Lauren H. McKenzie
Currently working on building a fantasy castle scene, with some Scottish influences. First overall shot, blocking out the general shape of the castle in Unreal in comparison to the terrain that I generated using World Machine. I tried applying some textures to the blocks, but the cylinders wanted nothing to do with it. The… -
Re: UMP45 looking for crits.
The main problem right now is that your polymer doesn't read like polymer. It reads more like painted metal. Polymer usually has this noise to it that tends to be the defining characteristic of it. (this was the best ref I could find that illustrates this and my next point) Another thing you should do is try to… -
Re: Hand painting grass and dirt
It's amusing how this went from someone asking how to replicate an example texture, to absolutely beating the pants off the original. The original was obviously either photosourced or in any event transformed one clump of grass by stretching, scaling and rotating it. It's not awful, but it's clear it didn't receive even… -
Blender 2.8 keymap mixing maya/max ALT camera and QWER transforms with default hotkeys
Blender has made a lot of strides forward in UI and usability with 2.8. If you haven't tried it recently I recommend giving it another look, speaking as someone who has bounced off it multiple times in the past. Blender now has a hotkey (keymap) preset called "Industry Compatible" that replicates a lot of hotkeys from… -
Non-Photorealistic camera
http://www.photo.net/learn/technology/mflash/merl-non-photo.html I saw this article on slashdot (surprise!) and figured it may be of interest to those that don't frequent the site. Here is a blurb from the article: [ QUOTE ] what does it do? The multi-flash camera's non-photorealistic images look like line drawings, but…
