Re: King's Landing [WIP, UDK, Environment]
I don't know if "less detailed" is necessarily the name of the game, but IO do agree that the wood looks like carved stone. It might be that the normals on the wood are too pronounced, or the color choices are just too different? It's definitely the normals. In real wood, the grain and rings from the wood have a minimal… -
Re: [UDK] - Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln)
So far I think i've worked in a good likeness and some of his more definitive wrinkles, Just need to do a lighter pass with some alphas to really add some variation to the surface and take strong highlight away from the hand sculpted wrinkles. They still need a bit of work, but they definitely help push the likeness some… -
Re: What have I done wrong? - Quads vs. Triangles vs. Beveling
Thanks Snader & Eric! Snader, I changed the material, and left the normals all hard, and saw a lot of what you meant (images attached). It's especially obvious on model #2. For model #3 & #4, I've adjusted the normals to try and mimic the correct mesh, with mesh #4 having more polygons. I think testing all my mistakes is… -
Re: PBR Workflow problem
Yeah - but the point I am trying to make is that when any translucent liquid is applied as a very thin layer (like blood splatter on metal), the material underneath will show through - and from there it makes sense that we cannot just use the absolute reflectivity values of such materials in these cases ... A good example… -
Re: Super Metroid Container (WIP)
Alright, I'm having a problem with one of the spots. Here's the original shape: WHen I turn turbosmooth on, it looks like this: Pretty obvious results, right?. Now, I want that slope to have less of a curve. I basically selected the edges and added some extra edges to get the sharp border: But as you could expect, I got… -
Re: Soft selection mask in Maya
Not sure if this is exactly what you need, but go in the tool settings and you can change falloff type to either volume of surface. This is most useful for dealing with a non-contiguous mesh though. In your case, I think you want to adjust the edge but not get into the holes thhere? Are you aware of adjusting the falloff… -
Re: Unofficial Character Mini-Challenge and Community Skill-Building Activity
YES Vehicles and hard surface is allowed. GUYS Seriously... if the theme isn't what you want you are always welcome to go and make whatever the hell you want! Jesus why do you guys need a contest or challenge or someone else telling you what to make? Just go do what you want. It really is that simple. To bitch and complain… -
Re: Looking for an easier way to move vertices around
yep, there are several. Check on "edge constraint" or "Poly constraint" in edit poly and you can slide them around no probs. 2: Align an object to the surface (align a box using align normals see the help file to find this). Then from the coordinate system click "pick" and pick the object. Now you can use that objects… -
Re: Desert wanderer
Hmm, I don't think you should call this sculpt final - you've put a lot of effort and detail into the hard surface modelling, please don't rush the sculpted parts! Currently I think they don't match up to the quality and sharpness of the hard-surface stuff. Definitely get more reference images for the cloth folds, try and… -
Re: [FIXED] Problems with baking high to low poly between marmoset 4 and substance painter
While the high looks decent, in my opinion it is not quite hitting the mark with how thin and tiny many things are. By that I am not saying that they should be stylized or exaggerated but rather that they should be making sense in terms of scale, thickness and roundness for things to look like actual sheet metal and/or…
