Re: Blender 2.6 Modeling Tools. What's missing and what do you want?
Someone was asking for more pivot options, and I found someone's mockup from a while ago: http://www.flickr.com/photos/63231715@N00/2433645591/in/photostream What do you think? Edit: Also, speaking of moving things along normals, and local/global space, here's what I propose:… -
Re: [Maya Plugin] Auto Round-Edge Normal Maps
a3D - It's a mix of programming reasons and user-friendliness ones. The idea behind this tool is that many hard surface shapes in their low-poly form already represent their high-poly counterparts, except for not having beveled edges. In other words, 90% of the final result is already defined if we use hard edges as the… -
Re: Making a Husky Dog, need feedback please!
Alright I'm back again. Took me a while to decide what technique I wanted to try- I tried making fur by sculpting (in Mudbox, mind you) using a type of crosshatching S technique, but nothing came out looking right. So I tried texturing it using Photoshop and Mudbox with a collection of gathered fur textures I had. I just… -
Re: [UE4] [WIP] Trench Shrine
I was asked also about my materials setup. A lot of it is pretty standard but I wanted to psuedo-randomize the tiling texture on top of the macro bake. I grabbed the object pivot location and split the XYZ locations into separate floats and math'd them together to get a unique value for each instance of the actor. Then… -
Re: Concept to environment: Wasteland Waystation
Okay, I have one last obstacle with this - how to cut holes in the walls in various places. Rather than building 999 versions with combinations of holes in different positions, I was hoping to use MeshPaint to paint VertexColor masks onto the walls wherever I wanted an opening. Besides being a pain to paint just the wall… -
Distant terrain materials with zbrush/mixer/world creator.
Hello fellow 3D junkies. I've been experimenting with mixer and world creator the last couple of days.

I wanted to see if I could utilize Zbrush sculpts as well as terrain height data used from world creator thrown… -

[Maya] - General UV Questions
Hey all. I'm getting my butt kicked in Maya right now and am looking for any help.. So I have a Red (vray) material plugged into a vray blend material. I want to add decals over this material using coat materials controlled by masks. I want to be able to "project" the decals using plane UV projection, but I do not want to… -
[Photogrammetry] How do you make your roughness maps?
First off, this might be in the wrong subforum and I apologise if it is, this seemed like a better place that the Substance forum. So I've made an attempt at making a PBR material from photogrammetry data, following sebvhe's tutorial (https://gumroad.com/sebvhe). Everything went pretty smoothly (and i was actually getting… -
Re: Which software do you hate the most to work with (for whatever reason)?
Zbrush is one of the rare softs that at least trying to be artist friendly notwithstanding its alien UI. The sculpting and brushes are pretty intuitive there after you have ripped through all those UI crazy inventions and replaced its transparent panels and eye sore orange buttons with something neutral . I just don't…
