Re: Art Test - Please Crit
I suggest placing some vertical planes around the edges and removing the mesh renderer component for a quick fix, as far as boundaries go. I also suggest removing jumping completely, as it just looks choppy and overall may reflect badly. Other than that, it looks fantastic! The lighting looks spectacular, and the style is… -
Re: 3ds max blurring a texture map
Vertex color is interpolated in a linear way. The distance between two vertices directly controls the width of the gradient between them. You need to change the topology of the model to fix this. You can fix this by selecting an edge loop, turning on Edge Constraints, and moving it.… -
Re: Best practice unwrapping uncommon meshes, like cones
I'd worry more about the huge difference in texel density in your example. Those button thingies could probably have a bit more pixels than the body, but they have way more. If I was to partly mirror it, I'd go for something like that, with a 4:1 texture. I used LSCM and straightened the vertical lines, but cylindrical… -
Re: Plasma Mine Module (RTS-fidelity Mine)
Alrighty, so I figured out I could get the heatsinks made by doing some Duplicate Special and making a translated array. Redid the cylinders in the piece and didn't get lazy. Less poly cylinders with averaged normals. p3D.in viewer here: http://p3d.in/dE0M6 Next plan is to make a proper rail/frame for this module,… -
Re: First time hand painting texture critique
I would break your UVs until it really fills in A LOT of the space. Maybe cut the UVs for the blade in half so that you have 3 vertical UV islands and arrange them better. The bigger the UVs, the more space you have to add further detail into it. Then the only thing is that you have to do is work the seams, or make them… -
Re: Survivor
Looks really awesome so far! You may want to consider changing the position of the axe, put it in a more accessible area to show that he uses it for defense and utility frequently in his travels, doing so would also break up the verticality of the pack and make it more interesting to look at. Just a suggestion though.… -
Re: [UDK] Desert enviro
Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. It has been a bumpy road but it’s slowly getting there. Thanks to all who helped with feedback here! @Cint 128 The first plan and the vista are one heightmap but the very far desert plain is just a decimated mesh of the same terrain mirrored and scaled down vertically. I’ve also rotated… -
Re: zbrush's polypaint vs 3dc's voxel paint
Anything that can paint Ptex textures doesn't need UVs at the start. 3D Coat and Mari are the best all-around options for texturing like this. Painting vertices like this in Zbrush and 3D Coat can be a good way to work if you don't need quite as much texel density. You need a looooot of points in Zbrush to get a really… -
Re: Character Creation
Grab his head in photoshop, and see how many heads high your charatcer is right now. Proportionally, it's not the heroic proportions that we see in the concept. That being said, if you want average/stocky proportions you have right now, by all means do it! If we're sticking to the concept, though, gotta lengthen his… -
Re: Working with non-quad textures??
It doesn't support non square baking yet (it's a global lack with both SD and SP baking) but you can bake in 4kx4k for example or whatever your highest vertical or horizontal resolution is, and set the document to the right size, everything else should work fine. The mask generators are built so that they don't stretch on…
