I feel like my recent topology (hands) is suffering from this new found knowlege of shadow bias being a thing. Seemingly no retopology approaches I use that aren't getting to high poly, prevent the shadows from messing up when ray traced. I've also found that triangulating quads properly beforehand can help in some…
I sculpt my body first beforei do anything i md not the detailstho just get allthe forms. After that i export my model to maya measure it out to makesure it's using real life scale. I like to use cm in maya since i do i also put md in cm after i'm done with simulating the clothes i export the clothes out without any…
I spent some time to find a workflow how to split up garments and avatar parts and reassembling them in a MD project file to deal with collision and performance issues. I've been also working on some of the base meshes that I needed so far for the cloth simulations in MD and started putting farbic upon those. As I've not…
I wouldn't count MD as a good tool to come up with new designs anyways. It is great at executing them (processing them, so to speak) but when it comes to actually designing garments I would think that owning a dress form and working with muslin directly on it would be your best bet. What I mean by that is that while MD is…
"I feel there's not alot of resources about that . Since pros do it very diffrent from what I've seen then the ones you see on tutorials and stuff. One great resource is simply to study actual models from commercial projects. You can look up games that have Steam Workshop integration for cosmetic items (Dota2, TF2,…
I am actually going for a more sandy look since it's an island setting. For the tiling and larger rocks I'll definetly see if it's the case to blend two materials together. I redid the grass actually the coloring was making me mad ahah (ill leave it here as an update) . Thank you so much for your input,helps a ton !
Are you a junior artist though? You seem to have considerable experience which puts you beyond the junior artist level. I would remove the junior artist title in your resume and apply to roles with mid to senior level. To be honest I would apply to roles regardless of the seniority provided you match the listed requirments.
I will just answer each question and hopefully guide you in the right direction. Which OS would be best for this? Windows 7 or 8? Huge bonus if there is a sleep mode like windows 7 for inactive periods. I hate Windows 8 interface for desktops, it takes more steps to do nearly every basic function. Moving around files and…
Bardler and kartoonhead thank you for your advice, I appreciate all the help i can get. KartoonHead I though I may be using too big of a resolution so i will take some time to reconstruct my thread. Bardler,It did not take me long to model every item however let me explain my process. First I highpoly modeled each item. it…
Hmm I guess I should have better explained what I was trying to get to. Id like to see a new take on an existing game by emphasizing or strengthening key elements in that game that makes it unique. I would honestly like to make a team based metroid mod if it could be done well (and if Nintendo wouldnt shut it down when…
