Re: The Bi-Weekly Substance Challenge (Challenge 3 & 4)
Thanks for the feedback guys! Having another look at it today I agree with everything you guys have said... I do feel like my height transition may be a bit too harsh so I'll make sure to have a revisit on making the edges of my initial shape be a little more beveled so get that smoother transition. Sadly I actually toned… -
Re: Felicity Smoak - need advice oh great polycount gurus :)
Ooops I didn't see your initial reply, sorry The reason why the shading is improved by Turbosmooth is primarily because of the way gauroud shading works, particularly because it looks worse in two instances: 1) There's not much geometry. More geometry will produce better gouraud shading so turbosmooth will usually result… -
Re: Realism in for CG Characters, How
Do it fast, keep it subtle. That's probably the best mental logic when doing realism. As realism in my experience happens to only fail when you start over analyzing/stare at your work. Analyzing critically about your work, I notice only works well when you do fictional types of work (cartoon, stylized, etc.). In the end,… -
Re: Thinking of becoming a 3D Vehicle Artist
I can tell you that if you would like to spend a majority, or possibly all of your career focused on vehicles, it's definitely possible. Vehicle and Hard Surface modeling are legitimate, in demand skill sets. And as model fidelity continues to rise, it will most likely continue to increase. I would say consider broadening… -
Re: [Mixamo Contest] The Last Knight
I really like your sculpting personally. The chiseled and hard-surface look is nice. Can I see closer in on the waist up? Having said that... - Arms need to be a little longer. Thighs feel strange going into the boots. Maybe do something with the sides and not make it so straight. Something else is bothering me. Can I see… -
Re: Zbrush workflow: complex bevels and others...
Some general notes on hard surface sculpting. It's not going to make every thing faster. There are some hard surface tasks that it will make quick work of, but there are still going to be many jobs that are quicker to do with more traditional methods. The trade off is usually substituting the simpler edgeloops and… -
Re: High poly to low workflow using Maya
A Live surface has been around since pre-Maya 6, I am pretty sure. It is the plain Magnet icon next to the rest of your snaps on the top right. I import two instances of the "medium poly" (a lower subdivision level of the high-poly version) and put them on the same layer, I make one semi-transparent with a Lambert… -

Re: Branch's Workshop (?) thread
Hard surface in Zbrush has always been something that alluded me. I have seen many artists pull it off without a hitch but I feel like some wizardry was involved. For me I will typically sculpt in the quick general shape of the armor or hard surface I want. I dont really worry about lumps at this stage, its just something… -
