Re: [TUTORIAL] 15 Tips To Improve As An Artist
^ This, so much this. I'm in college right now and I have this experience all the time. There's a lot of pressure to deal with. I'm still learning how to cope with it and take a lot of the pressure off of myself and instead, purely focus on improving. A part of that is taking a step back from work and relaxing for a little… -
Re: Maya Locking
Thanks guys! Worked perfectly. I did notice tho that a locked vert is not respected in quad draw. While working with all other tools it stays locked. I guess its not the biggest deal, I was trying to use quad draw relax on the area without moving those verts. I ended up using the smooth from the sculpt geo tool instead.… -
Re: Adam Jensen
I did some work on his face since yesterday. Now hopefully it looks like he has secondary form to his face. He almost looks like a child in that last one. I went back to the reference photo of his face and tried to incorporate features true to the concept art, such as the scar over his left eye. I also brought his arms… -
Re: Normal Map Problems, Sci Fi Gun - 3dsMax
Okay lets see. 1. Remove those modeled screws, they are too small so its unnecessary to make them from polies. They would looks good normalmapped. Same with its holes. 2. There are so much circular uvs on your uvmap. I guess they are from the cylinderical elements. Break these uvs somewhere. 3. After you did the 2th, then… -
Re: Normal map seams in World Space?
Thanks for the help D4V1DC........I tried most of this to no avail. And as usual, it's the one obvious thing that you never consider that is causing the issue. Turns out (ready for this one?) that the relaxed uv island was inverted. Don't ask me how I got it into that state....but fixing this oversight appears to have… -
Re: 3ds Max "Make Planar" tool.
I guess there was something like unflatten all. You can setup an specific degree and max will seperate each tile with this degree. Maybe this helps you a bit. Another way would be a script that performs the planar mapping for you. I would also think about unwraping it normally and then just break appart several polys so… -
Re: sketchbooky kinda thread
This is looking awesome seth., and thanks for posting some of your other work-- also cool stuff. I wouldn't worry about deviating from the concept a little so long as the changes still gel with the rest of the model. Only thing I would say right now is that the thumb seems a bit small and squashed, and the arms on the… -
Re: Topogun 2.0
Pior, I know you're also pretty familiar with 3D-Coat, care to point out what Topogun has more to offer? I used to use Topogun before, but completely stopped when I picked up 3D-Coat, it feels so fast to use once you've set up some proper hotkeys, love the brush mode, with smoothing, as well as doing quick point selections… -
Re: Tank Model
NP man. yes you can upscale parts on the UV's, but only if they're worth it. Also it looks like you are splittign a lot of parts of the wheels in the UV's. You should planar map the sides as one complete piece and then relax/peel them a bit. Keep the outer surface of the wheels as one single unwrapped piece as well. You… -
Re: Interview help?
Best thing to do is be humble but confident. I say confident not cocky too. Some people screw that up. Honestly my Midway on site interview was awesome. Talked with guys about games, sculpting with super sculpey, star wars, movies, EAs buyout of Bioware, the onslaught of games coming out soon and I just tried to let them…
