I'd just like to clarify something... Triangles are bad for models that will be subdivided because when you subdivide a triangle it CREATES POLES. And poles cause pinching and pulling. This is in contrast to quads, which never CREATE poles when subdivided. So while SCB is correct that the triangles will become quads, that…
Assuming you're using a brush that is completely curve-based (topology brush or zremesherguides), you can just draw a second curve that bisects the first one. A point will be created at the spot where the curves intersect, which will essentially split the curves into multiple segments. You can clean up curve segments by…
It's just an issue with the default parameters of the rain. If you reduce the Normal Trigger parameter and reduce the dt a little bit, to 0.02, it should work much better. The Normal Trigger parameter tells the rain to only draw particles when it encounter a bump in the normal map. If you set it to 0, the rain will draw…
slipsius: The character is based on a concept drawing provided to me, but I do see what you mean about it looking like the Halo enemies! Illusive: Next update will be bigger :p dannedadon: You're right it is based on a concept drawing given to me by a game company. I just didn't think it was appropriate to publish the…
Awesome Carvuliero! I'll be studying the Reilly Construction method once I become comfortable with basic male/female head construction and proportions. Posting these content rich gems for later. I hope these to be of use for anyone else interested in anatomy! -Advanced Head Construction breakdown by Adam Antaloczy -Head,…
Physical classes are unfortunately out of the question for me due to lack of time. Maybe online courses would be possible if I find some. Still, learning how to draw would mean devoting many hours for just that and I don't think I would be able to manage that while doing 3D at the same time. Maybe I will put some time in…
No this is not in relation to KJs post. It is in relation to there was no wips posted or any failed attempts shown which usually means someone hasn't done a thing yet or tried to. Drawing the polys is a good way to quickly break it down into simple forms and use that drawing to mask out the parts that repeat and don't have…
Your painting and concept work's looking great! It'd be cool if you brought the techniques you're using in the paintings into your life drawing. In your life drawing you're throwing down a heavy outline and treating the shading almost as a different process while in the concept you're really working with tone. Try merging…
4 or 5? O.O wow, Nice details, You dont have to be sorry for anything. I know the art takes up to few hours but I watch speed modeling / sculpting / drawing to get inspired for 3d modeling. many people who post them on youtube, claim that they've finished their detailed drawing(s) in few minutes, so I started asking people…
I say go back and try and self teach yourself drawing. Imo improving your 2d background really helps and if you are stuck for looking where to go with it i suggest it as a good place to start. And i dont mean to just focus on drawing as a way to help 3d focus on it as another set of skills. When you have the techniques…
