Re: Games portfolio review
Hey there, I'll give some honest feedback :) It's definitely a good start so keep it up! 1) Personally I'd delete the sketches. I'm by all means no expert in drawing but I don't think they'll benefit your desired position. 2) Overall you should focus a bit on lighting and presentation quality. At the moment most of your… -
Re: Question about hard surface in zbrush
He starts with using the topology brush to draw in his custom topology over top of the mesh. With this you have the option to split your retopology up by focusing on one panel at a time and adding thickness to the extraction similar to what Nicolas Garilhe does in his beta testing thread (he was using the older zsphere… -
Re: Website Help and such....
Starting things simple: Well, one thing to keep in mind is that your default page should probably be named index.html. Web browsers open the index.html automatically if a page name isn't specified. As an example, when you go to google.com, you'll notice that you don't type in google.com/index.html. The browser… -
Re: Simplest way to create specular map
Well here's the method I use for mass producing spec maps. For single stuff that I want to show off or for portfolio work, or if it was for an FPS game, I'd take a longer time. But if I need to mass produce a bunch of them I use my quick method. Step 1: keep my diffuse in layers. Step 2: grab each layer, go to… -
Re: Help with High Poly
In this case, simply double the # of sides on the asset, remove all these really small bevels for the ridges etc, and you'll end up with a better result with much less tris. Sure you wont have those tiny little ridges, but they likely wouldn't be noticed ingame anyway. Quick test to show various methods. left to right: A.… -
Re: [Blender] Why won't subdividing smooth my mesh?
First: if you have a subdiv of 5 then the quality is irrelevant and if you have no creases then you don't get cubes like you showed and if you have crease of 1 then this means no catmull clark smoothing at all... so what do you want to show here ??? 🤷 (Maybe you are overthinking this??) Anyway: Why bother about any… -
Re: Build a Female Character With Me?
Dang. I'd totally jump into this but I'm so friggin busy! Might I recommend using QQ chat? You can create a discussion group where everyone can post their images in the chat thread. They can just do screen grabs right into the chat thread its SUPER helpful for fast crits instead of a forum where you have to save out the… -
Re: Practicing baking - Pillar
After looking at it again this morning I realised I hadn't properly set hard edges on all the correct parts (Doing so in modo 501 is a bit of a pain really. For the islands of a cylindrical object, I have to set the smoothing groups like: A (for the polygons left of where I want the seam), AB (for the rest), B (for the… -
Re: Am I stealing? Borrowing?....What did I do!?
I think the line is drawn by the individual who created the original artwork, therefore if you have any kind of conscience nagging at you saying "this is a lot like the that artists work" then you should either : A:ask the original artist wether its alright to show this publicly or B: clearly give credit to the inspiration…
