Re: Doing Hardsurface Modelling in for the first time. Need help with pipeline
I've got to agree with @musashidan that.s one ugly ui haha. But why would you retopo in zbrush? I like to dynamesh the shit out of my mesh once I get the shapes right I duplicate the mesh. After that I zremesh one and project the dynameshed one on the zremeshed one. Than I sdiv my mesh and add details. After that I take my… -
Re: Canon GL2 camera
oh boy to first adress the wire. You seem to be a happy welder, some areas are dense and get welded to a lowish middle part. Try and balance those out and dont weld away some of the main shapes. If the tri count is quite high already, dont worry about a few extra to keep your shape intact. For the presentation you can… -
Re: Zeth's WIP stuff
Yes! Definitely :D I'm planning on doing organic stuff really soon; actually probably right after this project, and have a lot of great ideas. I was getting into some organic stuff awhile ago, but I agree, it's not enough. My workflow for making armour is to first get inspiration; I take a lot from Filippo Negroli, and… -
Re: dwall's first model ever, yes I'm a noob
Back again with some progress! I'm still battling with my inner demons from time to time but it seems like I've overcome them for now and I've got some work done. Hopefully it'll be smooth sailing from now on :) I made a first attempt at sculpting a prop in zbrush! Jeff Parrott's WORKFLOW SERIES: THE TREASURE CHEST from… -
Re: Characters, for my demo reel.
Hey, this is a good start, but just a few tips: Think about the overall theme and design of your characters. Try to use repetitive shapes that will act as motifs in the over all design, and also try to have breaks on your design. What I'm seeing right now is very somewhat continuous and not enough "big reads" on the upper… -
Re: Concerning Normal-Maps
Thank you very much Vig and Muzz for your Input. My attempt was to make that ship more roundish (?) as it should. Just unifying the vertex-normals (or soften-edges or smoothing group) for a smooth look didnt give me such a nice result. I tried to check out if it will speed up my workflow if I just bake out the basic… -
Re: High-poly mechanical objects - tutorials?
Yo fritz. Smoothing groups are just a quick way to add hard edges to a mesh. They don't affect sub-division, unless you specifically tell Max to do so, and they generally do not translate between programs. Better to use bevels or chamfers, those do translate between apps. Usually I find it's best to assign a single… -
Issue with Maya
Greetings Polycount; I am having an issue with removing edges from the mesh in Maya2011. It allows you to remove the edges from the mesh that I am working on perfectly but when it comes to continuing on editing the mesh that I am working on it shows that I have vertices left behind from the places I deleted the edges from.… -
Maya 2014 Merge to Center is a bit different...
So I've been using merge to center for a lotta things. I've never had this problem until using this version of Maya though. When in edge mode, I select one edge, select merge to center and it does its job! BUT, now it switches to vertex mode after doing so, even though I was in edge mode! So it basically defaults to vertex… -
[3ds Max] Ultrasimple question about vertex removal
Hey guys, There is this one thing in max that I was never able to do properly. If I want to remove a piece of geometry I usually select the verts and hit ctrl+backspace (to remove the verts as well). But how do I remove the verts/edges without ruining the underlying geometry? right now i always end up having to manually…
