Re: [WIP] - stylized character, could use some help to understand what to improve for future sculpts
Well done on finishing your figure to this stage. You haven't done a lot of characters so starting out it's important to shoot for a generic figure. It's not in your best interest to begin with exotic characterization. Get good at standard generic figures first, this gives you a good base. Its much easier to correct your… -
Re: Max vs Maya
MoP: Yes the viewport speed is improved and 2k8 and I didn't mean the comment to come off as degrading it for the user, even though that is how it did. The fact is that the viewport is faster, that is what matters for most people. It was more meant to demonstrate it wasn't any significant refactoring of the codebase but… -
[Zbrush] How do i sculpt this ?
Hi everyone, I'm currently planning a 3D environment that fuses the dramatic natural setting of Petra (Jordan) with the ornate and rich Levantine architectural style. The vision is to build a narrow canyon path that leads to a large, impressive mosque structure, with a bazaar carved into the sides of the canyon walls along… -
Re: Why is it more difficult to get feedback in threads ?
....and the graph is back :wink: But this critique/comment behavior just give you the feeling of making threads and post outside of the WAYWO pretty much pointless. At least for me. With those like buttons you get pretty much the same level of feedback from a post there compared to creating a own one once you start going… -
Instancing Polygons in UVW space.
Hi All, This isn't the easiest thing to explain, but I'll try to be as clear as possible. I recently decompiled a Source model and when looking at the UVW unwrap in 3DsMax I noticed something I havent seen before, and can't figure out how to achieve. Basically the model contained 3 copied/instanced (i.e. identical)… -
Re: General Question about modeling simple props with many shapes
Yeah, so of course the uvs are going to be split in some places, and since hard edges are free at uv spits I used them as well, the point isn't to have 1 huge uv island for your mesh, as that is unrealistic and wasteful(much harder to pack the content efficiently). However, the very important thing to remember is uv splits… -
Re: Normal Map Artifacts!
1) Sure you set well the projection modifier. Sure it covers completely the highpoly model. Sure you set well the smooth groups. Caution with cylindrical and mirrored UVs. 2) Try to collapse + XForm the mesh before rendering the normal map/export mesh. 3) I think the problem is that 3dsmax averages the vertex normal when… -
Does anyone know why ACES in Substance look so contrast and over-saturated ?
While in any offline render it's subtle . I load ACES 1.1 config.ocio in Blender, set all materials to use utility- sRGB texture , HDRI background to linear sRGB and see nothing especially contrast or darker in midtones. It tame down overexposed areas as expected but nothing drastic otherwise . While our render looks… -
Re: Monthly Environment Art Challenge - March and April 2018 (53)
So many WIPs have made their way in the past few days, I'll try to get to them all, but no guarantees. I'm holding off on further updates until I at least have the baking done. But as this is a feedback post only, let's get on to the critiques! @Dethling, I'll start with yours first. You've done a reasonably good job with… -
Re: Koenigsegg CCX Stig Edition in-game 3D model Next Gen
It is a nice model, but the numbers aren't what you'll see in a next-gen (PS4/Xbone) racing game. They are actually comparable to those from Forza 3. From the discussion here, http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=376652&page=178, the numbers they used were: LOD0: 172753 polys LOD1: 45074 polys LOD2: 21802 polys…
