Re: Colorizing value paints (2D Painting)
Cheers Eric, Yeah I kinda got the impression that the better 2D artists paint in color from the get-go, but for me, someone who is still just getting into it, painting value in two colors seems a lot easier than the full spectrum. I guess colorizing does have it's limits though and hopefully once I improve some I'll be… -
Re: When to normal map and when not to normal map
Thanks @Eric Chadwick - I’ll dive into those links today. One more question I have which I can’t figure out, is if you have a trim sheet that already has bevels baked into the normal map, would you need to bevel the geo? I see some trim sheets with bevels baked in and some without. Should I only be beveling large geo and… -
Re: Where are all the good 3DSMax Animation tutorials?
Thank you, Eric : ) I have some prior experience with rigging and I'm looking to start up again. Do you also know of any animation focused tutorials? I mean, what you've linked there is great but it's mainly for a technical artists role with an animation focus. I was wondering but I forgot to ask one question. How do you… -
Re: Problem with hair and eyelashes in Blender
Erics pretty much on the money, Blender switches draw type to save Scene rendering resources where transparency is concerned (especially as it has so many different ways to render the damn thing) - I don't recall if it's possible to 'fix' that by forcing Blender to render the higher quality transparency though (but check… -
Re: 3ds Max 2018.3 Wireframe mode but keep image plane referene visible?
Hey Eric, Yeah that could possible work if I can quickly cycle to a standard material, I'm basically trying to have the equivalent of "Toggle Wireframe Mode" in Maya.. where all geo displays as wires but image planes display with images showing. The conflict is in Max you can have image planes but they are textured geo...… -
Re: PS: Painting tones affecting lower layers at different values
I'm still with Eric, that a shader solution would be better. I've another half-idea for a panel that has buttons for tone/hatch patterns with dark/light adjustment buttons next to each- clicking one would send you to the appropriate layer for painting. Just a small timesaver but could probably work with that immediate… -
Re: Head Reference question
Thank you both for the suggestions! I'm definitely going to go with painting it by hand, or at least try. Eric, thanks for the links, and I'll definitely pay careful attention to the lighting (I'm using photos for reference so I can get the lighting realistic). The tricky part is putting eyebrows, facial hair, and the skin… -
Re: Why is my normal map creating seams?
what eric said on top, i would suggest you straighten your uvs more. it is not the cause of your problem, but you lose a ton of texture space with these curved uvs. on top even with 3d painting such a substance painter, some strokes are still easier to do in 2d space and then the curved uvs are way harder to edit. Also… -
Re: Guitar Hero 3
I think there are plenty of legendary rockers in the game, although I don't think that you need to take a subtitle so seriously. Kiss, Cream, Rolling Stones, Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, ZZ Top, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Santana, Eric Johnson, Iron Maiden, Metallica. A few more might even qualify depending on your… -
Re: What are you listening to? The '05 Edition
Recently, I've been listening to a lot of music that was originally recorded a couple of decades before I was even born. In my playlist at the moment I have: George Harrison with Eric Clapton - While My Guitar Gently Weeps (possibly the greatest recording of one of the greatest songs of all time) Rolling Stones - Sympathy…
