Hi everyone, Let me present a very simple practical example, Modeled in 3ds Max 2025 and baked in Substance Painter 11. Low / High Normals When I do the bake I always have a problem where a light jump can be seen in the area where the seam is. I understand this is due to the normal bake; the test was done using averaged…
Bit old thread but maybe some Blender users are still reading this and find it helpful. Thanks for sharing first of all! I'm working with Blender as well and started recently to use the Quixel Suite again, therefore I created a gradient material too, before I read this, with a slightly different result in the end, compared…
The bolt and especially the cover over the bolt don't seem quite right. If you look closely at the concept, you can notice that the cover is more of a rounded octagon than a cylinder. The rear of the bolt should be simpler - just a cylinder tapering in a single segment; the extrusion in yours isn't in the concept. Many of…
building up a new head from scratch just for the sake of more practice, also it seems beneficial to have a couple designs side by side -- gives a better perspective about what's working or not than just having one. Also built a new low-poly designed to give a little easier time sculpting the little corners on the lips and…
One of the things that excites me most about my Industrial Design course at the moment is that I'm finally learning to sketch properly. We're only a little way in so I don't have much to show for it yet, but they're very big on weeding out bad technique quickly. One thing they're very big on is confidence of linework.…
@PixelSuit Yeah, looking at it I agree. Considerding I use the small rocks alot I really should make sure I make them look more varied in the shape and size. Maybe even denser as well. The spruce-trees to the left of the 2nd image do look a bit squashed as well. I'll take a look at it! :) @odium I will probably post some…
I hate doing paintovers on such small renders so I'm going to point them out the best I can... 1. The buttpad of the stock is incorrect, so is the bottom of it, it needs to extend out more. 2. The buffer tube doesn't look round and there are more threads in it than 2. 3. The ring around the safety switch (on the right…
Hmm, you're overdoing it again a bit The double headliners are too much, and if you put the descriptions inside the linked pages instead of the frontpage, it be a lot clearer aswell. Either put all headlines as bitmaps and give a little hint that they link to more images, or write it all with your webfont, but mixing both…
Can you post the reference you're using as well? I love Tomb Raider so I want to see this again when it's complete. What's lacking right now is contrast. Everything is white. The other color you do have is ok, but it should be saturated more. Give it more of that orange fire you're looking for. You can make parts of the…
(Scoff) Oh sure, you can take some of the easier, pre-made solutions. But then you will be slave to someone else's system. Far better to understand some of the basics and have control over your site long-term. A major cause for the complexity of web design is the numerous browsers available, and the lack of standardization…
