Have to agree with @Noren , @ZacD , and @pior : both the contiguous unwrap and compound curvature of the shape are contributing to the distortion in a way that's almost unavoidable with a [tiling] texture only approach. Lot's of good advice on how to proceed with different approaches from everyone in this thread. As far as…
[A reference image AND an update...man I'm slow...] Got a little carried away with this. Consider it a Concept Tag? The biggest thing it's missing is value contrast. The eye will evaluate value before hue or saturation (which the piece also seem to be missing). You can have all sorts of crazy colors over your geisha, but…
Hey everyone! I'm trying to make models for practice and to import into a game I'm making. I'm really sucky at modelling currently, so keep in mind that I'm not markedly advance and consequently don't know many of the advanced techniques/terms. Either way, so I made this bow: I'm trying to rig it. I followed this tutorial:…
I've read also about your being clueless about what program, school to follow etc. I've been there too. Let me try and help you! - PREMISE - WHY YOU'LL BE VALUABLE AND WHY YOU'RE A PROFESSIONAL - A 3d artist can put together information in a way not a lot of people can or desire to do. You gotta be prepared to put an…
Hi, In recent months I have been reworking some game code of mine to develop what is probably most easily described as an Elite Dangerous / Star Citizen clone. Up until now the game graphics have been a combination of placeholders found in a variety of different places and my own quick and simple programmer art. The code…
Hey bud, I broke into the industry without having gone to school, and by just following tutorials. Its definitely doable. Its all about the portfolio and portfolio direction. Right now, your portfolio says "product rendering", which you could lean into. I'm not 100% sure but I'd assume someone who is good at producing…
Hey, So i am probably going to hit you with a lot of info right now and obviously you don't have to take all of my advice but it is simply coming from a long time WoW fan and someone who spent a good amount of time trying to copy the art style. The first thing I will say is I do like it overall. On top of that I will also…
I totally get that the internet may have something to do with communication, but i think the fault is on you. Why should any of us have of posted in this thread? To help you? Well you were right to come here for that, but don't trick us and frustrate us into dragging out a discussion like this. That honestly made me a…
I've also tried to watch as many tutorials as possible, but many of them actually skip the parts that are critical for me, do them differently or just in a way that I can't (with another software for example). Eat3D and Gnomon are a bit too expensive for me, as I'm just a student without income, so investing 60$ in a…
