LATEST UPDATE: When I work, I usually follow my concept 100%, but for this project I wanted to have a little fun on my own. I've never made a final product using hard surface techniques in Zbrush, so my process has been very loose so far. Here is the original image that sparked my interest in creating a "retro"-style space…
Hi Alex, I would start by asking what role it is you would ideally be looking to go into. from what i can tell you are interested in 3d game art and 3d modelling for 3d printing? these two are very different, so i would recommend tailoring your portfolio for one of those whilst you are looking for your first job in the…
Yeah. I should have explained better. Scan Store provides full body assets. They come with a 5 subdiv level Ztool and the following maps: color, normal, roughness, specular roughness So the geometry is not baked to a displacement map. You wrap and transfer the geometry details to your own model and export the displacement.…
Hello everyone, I've begun laying down roads across Normandy. The road plugin we're using is pretty sweet. It more or less makes placing roads as simple as pointing and clicking ((the roads follow the white dots you see in the image)). The creator of the plug-in was busy with school so he wasn't able to update it to Unreal…
@Heboltz, oh, I didn't know everyone would follow the same concept. I know that the competition is so you can improve on skills, but still if someone comes up here and says I want to learn 3d modeling, where do I start. What do we do? Do we hold his hand the entire time? Thats why they need atleast the basic knowledge out…
A famous person once said to that an educated mind will entertain a thought but not act on it upon impulse. The truth is, I tried plenty of times in my life time to go along with the flow of an argument and entertain a thought, but found people are very quick to follow up with retorts or even demands that you follow…
Yeah, there's so much to do it is retarded. Just whatever you do, avoid staying at the Hotel Pennsylvania! I can not stress this enough! Superb location (right across from Madison Square Garden), but OMG, I felt like I got lead poisoning from walking down the halls. The doors to the rooms LITERALLY look like coffins. I was…
I was following this Tut that EQ recomended Originally posted by EarthQuake [4. Followed the tutorial here: http://www.bencloward.com/tutorials_normal_maps11.shtml for setting up a special scene to render normals, red/green/blue light thing. That turned out to provide a pretty good normals map from just doing a standard…
MMOs are also pointy haired boss's favorite because "omg no pirates! all problems are solved!", although what most forget is that creating and maintaining a MMO is a heck lot of work, if you care about being successful and not just breaking even. Personally, I'm curious if Blizzard's latest Not-very-massive/Single-player…
Hey OP, This vid is a beast to teach you the techniques behind straight lines and curves: [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3lApsNmdwM"]EPISODE 36 Traditional Mediums - YouTube[/ame] Keep in mind that it takes a ridiculous amount of practice. Ridiculous. Even after drawing for a year every day I still will sometimes…
