Hey guys, I need your experience and insight to help me with my big dilemma. I don't want to bore you with all the details but let me give you some info about me to see the whole picture before presenting my question. I am 37 years old, never had any formal art education, I have been studying and practicing 3D on my own…
Yo, I find exporting and renaming objects and centering objects to 0 to be some of the more common things I do when getting stuff ready for the various projects. I didn't like the way MAX handled any of this stuff so I wrote a script www.envartist.com/MAXScripts/WDIScripts.ms to install: download and save to the following…
As the title says, after tackling my first tutorial ever on blender over a donut and a mug (I know, classic. ) I decided to just go at creating my first character for an idea I've had for quite some time now. I should probably go back to the tutorials but i always feel i learn better from just watching and tinkering, so i…
I mean it is the same thing here to an extent, where a well known user will post something and it gets more attention and a quicker frontpage placement (If it's frontpage worthy). The difference with polycount is cool stuff by lesser known users is eventually featured because there is less stuff to sort through. The best…
perfect, I didn't know you could assign materials per instance, that will work for what i need to do with just a few materials. I would be interested in seeing if the other would be possible. I know at Bungie we had a way of doing that, just having different permutations of just a region of each mesh then that either gets…
yeah I feel like what might be happening is the trailers/style might be an attempt at getting peoples expectations low. sort of a- "kill the hype" that would inherently follow a Cameron movie, so when people see it they`ll be surprised rather than let down. maybe were all being tricked into thinking this is going to be…
How is Instamat in comparison with Adobe products ? Any advantages ? Fresh new approaches? I see some cool blend nodes with lots of instantly available options in the videos . Always thought what came from Allegorithmic been rather a pain in my a.. Took me years to make a set of custom nodes just remotely convenient. But…
So i'm having trouble getting my low_poly scabard looking correct. I have tried quite a few things but still the lighting is "off" to say the least. I've tried -manually setting up smoothing groups, -mirroring UV's in trouble areas to see if it is caused by normals. -Remodelling the low poly from nothing to try and get…
Refinement and study, taking breaks and coming back and realizing things might not've been that great, decide to redo them or not, move on most likely till you get it right or become homeless. 1st thoughts you are right there for this piece, just some more loving to them rock crevasses <the linked image is what I'd like to…
Hello Everyone I need an environment 3D artist to help me create levels inspired from the Game of Thrones Universe. These will ideally be settings and places that have been mentioned in the novels by George RR Martin. See the YouTube link below to get an idea of my past work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mnTq5VmRBI…
