Hey everyone. I decided to give 3D a go and I started learning Maya. I picked up this sketch: I made this mesh (wich I later altered to make everything exist in one object and to eliminate two or three five-sided polys): And now I'm trying to learn how to make lay out UVs and create textures. This is where I am so far: The…
Some more on this one. The nose is messed up, I am having a hard time finding the shape. Also some other stuff. Here is a shot of the references I am using, she is the daughter of a famous photographer hence there are a lot of refs, and of several ages. I tried to pic refs from one age. Here is some of the overlays, I…
Because I'm talking about principles. We can't control what some nutjob does when he shoots someone. But we can have principles, like being vehemently anti-war for instance. Or better yet, being anti meddling in other people's business. And I don't pick a random point. I can trace this whole thing back to the 1700s, even…
Hi, Another daily update. Got some changes done on the ocean shader and got a first pass on the treasure chest. After my first post, polycounts where requested and now that the models are final I'm happy to oblige. So here goes, in tris: Anchor 1654 Rock Group 1905 Rock 768 Wall 990 Treasure Chest 1728 Island 2380 Palm A…
Try using refraction instead of fresnel or coupled with fresnel. I think the effect you want is usually generated using a refraction shader only Edit: yes after looking at the video, this is mainly refraction The closer the refraction index to 1, the more stealthy / invisible he is Something like 1.05 may be enough even It…
Game res character made as a tribute to one of my childhood heroes - Leonardo from TMNT. Rendered in Marmoset 2. Polycount: 18271 tris. This includes both character and weapons (two swords, three knives & two stars). Character without weapons is 14923 tris and weapons alone uses 1505 tris (one sword, one knife & one star).…
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/vista-workshop,1775-5.html "The upshot is that it doesn't make sense to install a 64 bit version of Vista in order to better utilize 4 GB of memory simply because the 32 bit version would only recognize 3.5 GB. The problem is that while it is true that you would "gain" the missing…
Why everyone is telling me to buy as high core count CPU as possible? Wouldn't a CPU with higher clock speed be more powerful for zbrush than lower clock and high core count CPU? I am super confused. I am on Ryzen 1700 now, 8 cores and 16 threads. I wanted to go with 16-32 cores CPU but I don't see a point if my 8 core…

Thanks Wilex for your comment. I know symmetry is a problem. I've added a few accessories here and there in the design in hopes of making it a bit more interesting. Just wanted to post my WIP. Here is the base mesh I've created thus far (one mesh smooth iteration). If anyone sees any issues please let me know, since I'll…
