Hi everyone! My name is Syoma, and I’m a 29-year-old 3D artist specializing in Stylized 3D Art for games and other creative projects. I’m currently looking for exciting collaborations and projects to contribute to! With over 12 years of experience in 3D modeling, I primarily work in Cinema 4D but also use Zbrush, Substance…
emulating others people work for education is fine, even flattering so don't worry about that just note you are learning to make reality off a representation, (copy of a copy) So no one wants you to look at a texture and replicate it, not from an integrity stand point but as a model for learning. The paint overs/examples…
Heyo, I'm trying to remake this old metal sign I found on Etsy. It seems like there are some speckles or buildups of paint on it. I think...is there a name for this? Also can someone point me in the right direction as to how I would create this effect in Substance Painter? Here's the ref photo: Paint speckles/buildup I'm…
Hey Polycount: This is going to be a bit of a stretch, but I hope this doesn't fall on deaf ears. I'm looking to get a legal license of ZBrush 4R7. I've been operating on an educational license, which I was able to pay for while I was working contract gigs here and there, with internships, during uni. But a year out and a…
The NoAI tag on ArtStation is not for indicating how the art was made, but to try to prevent scraping. https://magazine.artstation.com/2022/12/noli-tag/ The tag is so poorly designed, because at first glance it looks like a "how this was made" tag, since all the other tags are setup that way. Pretty unfortunate. Anyhow, to…
Im thinking about getting some 3d painting software because I just cant stand seams =(. I was thinking about either Bodypaint or Photoshop CS4 extended. Im not familiar with either one, or 3d painting in general, so if anyone can point me in a good direction that would be awesome. I need it to run on mac as well. Thanks in…
I'd agree with this. Texturing used to be my weakest point, but once I took some time to learn painting in general (basically did a bunch of portraits over a few months), and got more confident at using the brush/photoshop, I used those same skills (observation mainly) and applied them to hand painted textures. It's…
wasn't it Andrew Wilson, not Bobby Two-Horns who brought gatcha over to the western market in the form of lootboxes? And Epic got in touch with Mike Prinke, last I heard that issue was resolved.
I wanted to share something I came across while looking at models and textures from Borderlands 2. There is a 3D model called WreckedVan that is used all over the game. It comes with a 2048 diffuse map and a second packed mask texture. The size might seem large for 2012 but given that it was standard practice to give…
I'm not really interested (right now) at learning to paint perspective I am sure its a great tool to have and I should practice it at some point by the reason I started it was to work on skinning faces. One of the main reasons it came out so over polished is that I was so sloppy with my brush work in the begining and had…
