Re: Stylized Stone Floor
Thanks for the advice! I think when sculpting I was a little afraid to go overly stylized with the surface details and they ended up being a bit too small and subtle, which didn't really show through in the final bake. I'll do another pass on the surface details and try and add some more variation to the texturing. -
Re: Edgeflow help on car
Ok there appears to be some confusion on both sides because I'd initially thought you're already defining secondary shapes whereas now seems as if you've begun this model using a dense high poly grid, instead of following a conventional polygonal workflow regardless of whether your end goal is either creating a game asset… -
Re: Can we make hard edges look rounded without baking from high poly?
I think you're under-estimating the advantage baked normal maps can have for hard-surface stuff... But if you just want those round corners but don't want to bake them, might as well just model them out and tweak the surfaces' vertex normals. http://born-robotic.com/stuff/cubenormals.jpg -
Re: Crit my Textures: To hell and back!
Those are looking really nice, I'm digging the over all color and hand painted-ness. The brick and wall blending looks a bit strange, like they were carved out of a stone wall and just left half finished. You might want to add some textural differences in the stone surface and the brick surface. -
Re: Post your workspace 2015
I am getting a friend of mine to fashion a mousemat out of metal for me. I am just using a book for a smooth surface atm :P The edge of the desk I put a bit of a bevel in when I was sanding it, and the surface is actually quite smooth too. I can't see it causing any discomfort. -
Re: Getting the form you want out of Zbrush?
You might be jumping to too many subdiv too quickly. I'd try to stay at the lowest subdiv as long as you can and raise it only when you want to refine something or add detail. It can also depend on what kind of surface you want, hard surfaces can be a bit tricky in zbrush. -
Re: Problems with Blender; connecting curves
I'm not sure what your problem is, maybe a screenshot could help me more, anyway, one thing I had a lot of problem was how to create a surface from curves and the answer I found was here, you could try this, if it's your problem: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:Manual/Modeling/Surfaces/Skinning -
Re: Help a maya newbie plz!
so you just want to cut, a curve as edges into a low poly surface? persnally i would just draw the curve on-top, than use the interactive-spilt, tool and snap to the curve amd more or less just use it as a guide for manually cutting, since your wanting to cut into a low polygon surface. -
Re: WIP Ship: Halifax Schooner
ok, well, the normal mapping thing is simple yet complex.. (woo always wanted to sound wise and mysterious :D ) the really complex bits you don't really need to understand right now, the basic idea is it tricks your computer into thinking the surface is more complex than it is, this image shows the workflow. 1) basically… -
Re: [CE3.6] SPACESHIP Interior
While this is a nice idea, I think it doesn't read quite as well in a static image. It would work fantastically in an animation if you could show a character touching a surface and having information displayed at their fingertips. Maybe make a specific material that works as a display? Instead of having a traiditional…
