@MBauer17 Sorry I couldn't resist doing a little paintover: Mostly it's 1. Raising the landscape in the back to add a background 2. Adding complimentary color flowers for a foreground 3. Moving sun into the frame for more dramatic lighting. Just add a some foreground leaf/insect particles to create a bit of motion and…
So guys, its ok - there are many ways, but what is the fastest, IMO: the fastest way to work with hard surface is dynamesh/clip brushes/zmodeler -> combined fashion, but there is always a huge slowdown when retopo this mess of polys; 2) subd in zbrush using zmodeler - u could model everything using separate pieces (eq…
100% doable. The only education I have is highschool. I got into the industry just by sitting at home, making art until my portfolio was good enough to catch the attention of a studio in vancouver, they brought me in for an interview, art test and then offered me a job. There are a ton of insanely talented artists on…
First off, I would like to say I really appreciate the many comments and the trying to help. I have some news and it looks like they aren't good ones.Prepare yourself, PC soap opera is coming, I'll try to tale honestly and detailed.... I stood at my computer last evening, and around half past 10 she said turn it off now…
Hey Arthaven! Thanks so much for response. Okay so I understand the whole triangulate before normal baking and all that I can confirm this mesh is pre triangulated. By accident I ruled out the mesh being the issue. The exact same mesh retains it's smoothing groups in a fresh Marmoset scene but not in the scene I'm using to…
You have to understand. Everything makes sense and has a reason because the person that did it must have thought it was the right thing to do in the first place. No one ever goes "This is the thing that appears like the right thing to do, so I am going do the wrong thing because it doesn't make any sense" The reason why…
Been away from this project for a while due to some overtime at work, but was able to slowly get a few things in. Here's the gist of the update: Basically added textures to the architecture, and made a few props for decoration on the walls. Most of it is quick and dirty just to get the main shapes and colours in (most of…
That sounds like a Maya settings issue: there must be some options for the resolution and profile / thickness of a curve inside Maya that dictate what the output to geometry looks like. If you set these values right - assuming you have access to them - then it should replicate the exact curvature/volume of the curve as it…
Deju Vu. I must have heard the same speech year after year. I'll believe it when I see it. As long as the Xbox is around, there never gonna treat PC gaming seriously. There just getting scared now with the Steam Boxes coming and taking not just customers from Direct X, but from Windows as well if SteamOS takes off.
This is just mind-blowing in so many ways, not least because of the generosity of all the contributors who took their own time to help work on it. I just want to say a massive thanks to all of you guys, it looks absolutely awesome and I must say I can't wait to check it out. Also... major props for offering an iPad/Kindle…
