Re: [HandPainted] First try making a retrofuturistic car
![[kaz]](https://us.v-cdn.net/5021068/uploads/userpics/766/n7GU5FLAGSAWS.jpg)
Great start! Nice bold colors. Three suggestions: The orange and blue seem to be fighting each other, I recommend either making the blue lighter or the orange darker by at least 20%. The car itself feels a little cut-off, I think a nice chrome edge all the way around the bottom would help with that, and a gradient that… -
Re: FPAA - Anti Aliasing "Post Process" for Photoshop
You are misunderstanding him. He's saying use some process to find internal edges (for instance, "find edges" and some hackery) then use it as a mask w/ levels to blur the internal edges as well as the outside ones. I didn't take much care but you get the idea. Could be a good addition. Maybe you'd want to further mask it… -
Re: Future SMG - trying to improve
it is important not to swing too far the other way and get the blobby- or soft-edge look, like you drew in that img. the ways around it are to use more support loops for each edge (it generally takes two, not one) and sometimes to actually chamfer the edge and add supports for the chamfer. sometimes when things are very… -
Re: The Bi-Weekly Substance Challenge (Challenge 5 & 6 & MeetMat17)
Some more work on the height: I'm having a lot of trouble with the edges of the slates - comparing what I got here to my prior image, you may be able to see that I have reversed the "fibers" in the slates, making it look like they're chipped away from the outside of the roof: This heavily conflicts with the edges and makes… -
Re: Heightmaps in Marmoset
Yeah this is a good example. The main reason why that works and why yours doesn't is your edges are too sharp. I did a quick model here to demonstrate the concept, on the left the hexagons have a slight taper to them and a beveled edge at the top. On the right the edges are super sharp. When I make a clump of these and… -
Re: approach to techy stuff
Wouldn't agree that unwraping isnt good for this sort of thing, in fact its just about the ONLY way i unwrap anything, ever! Because running an unwrap on something like this, relaxing, and then clamping the edges is a LOTTTT faster than doing a cylindrical unwrap, going back and tweaking every edge so you dont have wierd… -
Re: Metal Specular Maps - Your Methods
Theres a couple things you want to do to get really nice metal. The biggest part is having a great cubemap, and then you'll want to have softer normals than you have now, so you get nice little beveled reflections on your edges instead of the fake overhard look. And then your edges in your spec map need to be softer too,… -
Re: First portfolio - got some questions before I start
I made the mistake of mixing env and character stuff when applying as env artist - in the end I got hired as character artist (actually that's what I wanted to do but I didn't see an opening when I applied) ;) Just saying, good art is good art and if it's really good I would put it on the folio regardless. The only thing… -
Help Creating a back for an extruded Inset plane (PICS INCLUDED)
Hello, I am pretty new to maya and I am trying to figure out a quick way of capping the back of an extruded inset plane without manually aligning edge loops. By that I mean I know you can do fill hole with the edges at the back but you would have to multicut and merge the aligned edges. Another idea is bridging the back… -
Re: Comicon Challenge 2014 - Scorpion
Finished my first retopology pass. Looking a little too sharp and edgy right now. Going to take it back into sculpting and add details as well as soften up some edges. Some areas like the chest and ankles need a good work over and I'm not quite certain what to do on the shoulders yet, however, overall really liking the…
