Hello guys! I've been struggling with 8K texturing. Every software that using 8K textures becoming very very slow. Rendering, painting textures on mari etc. In photoshop its workable. But its not for render. When i click render button maya becomes not responding like 5 minutes then it starts rendering. Its really painful.…
@DavidBullock3D Hey man! really nice artwork here, the lighting is definitely one of the strongest features here, really compliments the overall tone of the scene and helps frame the diorama! I feel you could add a lot more to the materials though, they seem a bit flat atm. For example, a lot more variation in the…
Looking good man, I like the idea of adding in some more colours into the skin. Perhaps try adding in a more variation with mottling of the skin tone. I feel the weakest part of the model right now is the textures feel a bit monochrome/bland. I'm certainly no expert on hand painted texturing but most of the strongest…
Hey, looks good with the color variation and highlights. The thing with tiled textures is details have to be spread evenly and randomly in order to avoid obvious seams. You solved the problem with the cracks by removing them, which is effective, but you could have also spread cracks across the whole texture and made it…
If you have the money, maybe invest in Gnomon? I'm currently watching this series as a part of my personal 30 day anatomy challenge. (no thread, sorry) http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/store/product/999/Anatomy-Workshop%3A-Volume-One Note that there are five volumes. Charles is really good at explaining things and I have…
Hello Polycount Community Version 1.0.2 is on its way ! This is a small update, but you'll be able to say hello to our new little Unity friend inside an example scene included in the package. Game Shaders 1 - Dota 2 In this example you'll be able to take a look at a basic material setup and understand how to build…
Thats actually really cool. Thanks for the info. The quality of the courses generally seem to be the highest out there, CGSWorkshops seems decent but Gnomon are perhaps at another level. However their structure makes it somewhat confusing, there are multiple courses that cover say texturing without any real insight on what…
Well its just an update announcement, so they're not trying to tell you what Gentica is, just show off what they've done with the update. A good place to start is with the Gentica feature list, or maybe swing by the tutorials page. Then possibly download the trial and then you'd probably have a good idea how it works and…
I have to echo what Paul just said about living for now. Don't dwell on the past, don't predict the future (because it will always lead to dissapointment). I guess I've accomplished a lot in my 26 years, but accomplishments mean less and less the older I get. I'm most content when I'm focused on the work, whether it be…
Hey! Thanks all It's been a relaxing day, didn't have to work. I just got back from dinner, this was a pleasant surprise! I think about the SanFran workshop all the time (I wear my band religiously :P) it was a great time, and hopefully next year I'll make it to GDC or E3 to meet up with a lot of you again! Paul, I took…
