I am trying to make my first big set and am trying to figure out how to break the chunks up into modular pieces and how to texture them. I want to use a tiling texture as the base and add details with substance painter, but there's too much surface area for the shells to all fit into the 0-1 space and tile. Is it okay…
Hi everyone! I've been learning Blender in my spare evenings, and I wanted to try something new. When I was a kid I enjoyed different interactive storybooks where you could read the story but also interact with different elements in the scene. My personal favorite was Arthur's Teacher Trouble, which was amusing and fun to…
I want to become a digital sculptor for characters, but I really need to practice and learn anatomy. Ideally, I want to be skilled enough to be able to make ecorche sculpts, and to be able to use brush strokes purposefully and with anatomical accuracy. Questions: 1) Do you mainly learn by doing anatomy studies via…
Heya, I've seen some amazing artwork so far, and wanted to join in on the friendly competition. Despite being a month short, I'll try to knock out something with these couple of weeks I have before things get hectic again. UPDATE: I've been pushing myself, but I probably won't be able to finish the tower in time, but I…
So, I recently got a request from a student asking me to mentor him in handpainted texturing. I was ready to do so, but I decided against it after learning it was actually a requirement for his capstone class. Personally, I think it's deeply unethical that his school is requiring its students find professionals to mentor…
You're probably right. I get that that there is not much that can be done about the changes in terms. My issue is with leaving the "16 years" language up when, given the subsequent events that unfolded, Pixologic clearly knew that the ZBrush 2022 product had been sold and that the spirit of those words no longer held. The…
Hey! So I've been logging on this site from time to time and every time I come here I find such gorgeous, amazing art. My dream is to one day work in the game industry, but I am still unsure whether it's something I can pursue or just do as a hobby. I find it hard to get myself to practice and I do NOT practice enough..…
Hello there Polycount, Novice to-be Animation student here with a quick question. So far, I have been using Wings 3-D to practice modeling and It's been a great program; I have to admit. Primitive compared to the Autodesk stuff etc, but great for getting my feet wet. I've made a couple things here and there, whether it be…
This has probably been posted many many times, but I am wanting to improve my 2d skills and went looking for some books, I have found a couple, [ame="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0007116454/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top"] http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0007116454/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top [/ame]The New Drawing on the…
Hi! I see similar threads were started but it's been about one year since the last one so I guess it's ok. I'm trying to get some vector displacement maps into UDK. I think this should be working smoothly as there is even a corresponding compression setting(TC_VectorDisplacementmap). The problem is with the file…
