Update: First pass at texturing. Base texture with some magic from nDo2. Some small details still missing, like the round logo at the back. Not sure should I add the brownish tint to the plates that is on some photos. Next thing would be adding wear and tear to the gun. As always, questions and feedback is much…
@BucketOfNuggets: Thanks. I have the same impressions actually. I looked at other sculpts and ref and was trying to replicate it but it's a lot harder that it looks. Not sure yet how to make metal not look like stone. As for the runes, I was thinking that their magic power would prevent them from getting damaged or…
Its just nice for the students when they are able to put all the teaching they have had and be able to see a Professional model that is currently in a game or on the cinema. They can then click and understand why they have been taught in a set structure, pipelines, teaching patterns and see there is no magic button just…
Considering President Obama is continuing support for educational games and research into games that crowd source scientific problems. I'm sure the media that opposes his point of view will probably go nuts at some point. "I don't want no devil science in my house!" He tweeted from his phone while watching 300 channels on…
If its game model then yes you have to do the whole pipeline retopo uv texture rigging posing and what not if you want something fast and dirty you could pose in zbrush using transpose master render bunch of different materials comp them in photoshop add some photoshop magic and paint over and you have beauty render -…
thanks a lot guys! snowfly: thanks! what do you mean by sparkle? the flickering dots in the turnaround? they appeared because my magic wand's tolerance was set too low :S. spug: i'll try it and show a side by side comparison soon! john_warner: No thinking involved in picking my colors, since i use the colorpicker on my…
well such a mouse might help to reduce the pain somewhat but like an aeron does not cure back pain, this will not be the magical solution. you better go see a doctor as a first step and have your condition examined. this is nothing to be taken lightly, i know people who thrashed their hands in rather permanent fashion in…
Some of you are fast as hell XDDD 2 weeks minimum for a decent work (included weekends and working more than 12 hours per day). If you include revisions, tweaks... i'd say more time. And QUALITY = more time. A model done from a simple base mesh, can be done faster, no doubt. Zbrush does magic with an ugly box.
let see! You dont need to bother baking anything - nothing will give you good realtime hair automatically. Just create the kind of hair 'bit' that you want against a background thats easy to alpha out, and render simple furry stuff. Then put that on planes, exactly like you said! Try it and post your results, theres no…
Where is SkepticalNate when you need him..... He's been supplying the SVS offices with tasty homebrew experiments over the past few months. The first one was especially tasty and one bottle gave us with a pretty nice buzz(I believe that his beers secretly contain magic...or crack). Always looking forward to the next batch.…
