"I 3D scanned real popcorn and baked it down onto the pile using a diffuse height map." Could you elaborate on that, please? Might be about terminology, but I don't quite follow. You scanned individual pieces or a bunch of popcorn? And since you seem to be using a displacement map / tesselation, did you take the height map…
Thanks for the tips seforin, also nice tut bitmap. Sorry for the bump everyone, but this thread kinda deserves it and I have a question anyways! :P I don't know about other engines, but on cryengine you can't have a tillable diffuse and a unique normal map (Baked NM) in the shader. If you try to tile the difuse texture in…
Eric, Thanks for the vote for legit, I really don't understand why a lot of comments are on my writing, but it appears to be the price for being long winded. Thanks for your input and follow up, the color scheme of warms with diffuse glows for hero header and footer images is a personal choice of pursuing warm earthy…

Congrats @ThomCorfield looking good :+1: To push it further, could break up straight edges and detail silhouettes. Looking at pillars, shape could be widened towards bottom? Some grouts/ texture details read a bit too faint in my opinion and as a result, the structure visually becomes one continuous piece. Lighting-wise,…
Hi! Nice to see progress :+1: Personally would be most interested to see the interior blockout get more refined. I think currently some shapes look a bit too simple/ cartoony and some elements display strong shading gradients. I suppose one challenge will be to find a cohesive shape language/ style tying all the assets…
Hi all — I’m developing a custom 3D framework inspired by sixth-generation console visuals (think PSP / early PS2). I’m looking to commission two clean, animation-ready humanoid base meshes — one male and one female — that I can use as the foundation for clothing and character variants. Project Overview The meshes will…
That's an awesome vase, I love it! About the shader, I'm late to the game but I might be able to help. Disclaimer: I'm an illustrator, not a 3D artist. I put something together in Blender, it got plenty room for improvement but I think it's enough to explain what and why. Let me know if you want the file to play with it.…
Hello Ace, Well I used this reference when I wrote my post above: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yyywUujOFY8/TxY597gxqtI/AAAAAAAAAP0/NNzf1u1Pwe8/s1600/fruits_peaches-5531.jpg so I thought that to help the "whitish" effect on the edges, which again you can derive from fresnel (incidense) values. I would use a suble reflection…
My work so far! I could call it finished, but If someone has any ideas to make the scene better, do tell please! After started and (kind of) finishing a awesome mech-tank I am now starting on a new portfolio piece called: Sanctum. (My old thread: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=116199) I will make my first…
