[TOOL / ADDON] VmBaker - GPU-accelerated texture baker (Maya, Blender & beyond)
Hello everyone, I want to share a new tool I've been developing for some time now called VmBaker. It is a texture baking tool mainly targeted at game developers for making low-poly models - but it's really up to you how you want to use it. If you're tired of exporting models from Maya to Blender just to bake beveled edges,… -
Re: Daily Sculpt to learn and get better at zBrush
Whether intentional or not, you're moving towards stylisation. This can be a sub-conscious crutch when you yet lack the anatomical knowledge to tackle realism. I would advise against this until you understand the basic proportions/bony landmarks/morphology(the visual sculpt in the sense of top-most surface of skin and fat)… -
Gas Pump WIP
I've recently completed a high poly model of a gas pump and before diving straight into the low poly and unwrap I wanted to post here to get some feedback on it. My goal is to work this into a portfolio piece. I've taken a bit of liberty with some of the pieces and added stronger bevels to help the shapes read better from… -
Crysis Tutorial Level Assignment
Hey everyone, It's been awhile since visiting these forums and it's the first time I'll be contributing anything, in the past it's just been browsing other peoples work and doing the odd bit of mod team recruitment. Anyway, I've just started a games development course at university and one of our classes involves using the… -
Re: Learning Blender and Texturing
Hey! Even though you have a ton of 3D modeling experience, it doesn't mean you can jump into Blender right off the bat. Knowing topology and general 3D concepts is a huge plus, but the interface here is completely different, the commands are different, and even the names of familiar functions vary. Things like working… -
Re: Games Industry Mentor
Hey everyone! It's been a while - but here is my last episode! http://gim.acanaday.com/?p=238 It's been great having you all as listeners over the years. As I explain in the podcast, it's been awesome bumping into listeners and hearing how the episodes have helped. It really means a lot to me. This episode is all about… -
Re: Tahra's Female Character
Some things I noticed: Her boots need to be slightly longer, as well her overall proportion. Her upper body, especially breasts have a slight obtuse V bump, starting from her lower ribcage, near her diaphragm, indicating her breast are at least 50% or more bigger then what you currently have. Also, her back is more arched… -
Re: [Finished] Stylized Character Kid
So this is a bit of a tangent When I first baked the normal map in Substance Painter then imported it the textures to Blender, I noticed that shading looked bumpy and the textures warped At first I thought I messed up with the UV, so I tried fixing that. But it still looked bad Then I thought, maybe it doesn't have enough… -
Re: Image Heavy-Textures, props, and Personal - First Post (sorta)
[FONT="]I think the whole Shift + C and Ctrl + C idea does not really bother me all that much. It falls under memory. XSI has a unique default setup of positioning core modeling functions around the hand radially. Alt=S and around the left hand exists all necessary functions. After adaptation and familiarity is… -
Re: Answered: nDO painting mode on existing dDO project?
Hey Linkitch! For now, at least, NDO is the primary normal map development tool. You'll want to make almost all of your details in it before you move on to DDO. In DDO, you can add a bump map channel to your project (in the top right of the primary DDO window, click the dropdown menu, Add New Map > Bump) and the bump map…
