Re: WIP Stgw. 57 / SIG 510
yea, the metal reads a bit like plastic right now. there isnt that much difference between the furniture and the receiver, at least in my eyes :) that's wrong and let me tell you why. mind you, i am aware of the fact that most guides will tell you that it has to be this way, in order to retain a physically accurate… -
Re: Branch's Workshop (?) thread
Hard surface in Zbrush has always been something that alluded me. I have seen many artists pull it off without a hitch but I feel like some wizardry was involved. For me I will typically sculpt in the quick general shape of the armor or hard surface I want. I dont really worry about lumps at this stage, its just something… -
Re: Which 3D Sculpting App?
I have only used zbrush, but you should look at what else you want to do with the program. Zbrush has the advantage of being 2.5 which means you can paint it it as well, and even get finer detail by painting on bumpmaps. Something AFAIK neither silo nor Mudbox can do. Silo has the adnvatage of the ability to build the… -
Re: Max>Zbrush workflow?
1. the uvs need to be better packed because they arent using enough of the pixel space also they are unevenly sized so some parts will have loads of pixels to detail them while other just important pieces of your sword will have hardly any pixels and could look a little stretched or warped. so if you show only one side of… -
Re: MMA Fighter WIP
Agree with raider. You definitely should go in and add some definition into that back of his.That area where the scalene muscles,sternocloidomastoid and the trapezius inserts onthe clavicle is way too smooth aswell. Those knees also need work. The anterior border of the tibia doesnt go straight down like that, its curved.… -
Re: Modular made building
Agreed with cheese. The idea behind practicing modular asset building is to make templates that can be reused. True, you could resue what you have made, but there is no detail so you arent really 'practicing' the technique, you are sort of side-stepping the problem. I don't know any good online environmnet portfolios that… -
Re: Portfolio overhaul
First off, you have GOT to get rid of that seam on the kings gaurd guy's head and neck. Even if you just clone brush it out. Otherwise its a fantastic piece. Your 2nd random heady study from arsh's base looks like you got into the details too fast. The major forms look a bit too blobby, especially in the neck. I agree with… -
Re: Unreal ED questions, turrets, triggers, vehicles
Also try http://wiki.beyondunreal.com Turret/telescope. just subclass an existing turret and remove the weapon code so you don't have to modify the playercontroller too much. Sentry gun: Likely a full custom build, as there arent any monsters that act like sentry guns already in the unreal codebase. You can copy chunks of… -
Setting UVW for tiling texture
I searched the forum,read some stuff,watched some videos,but still,this one bugs me. So,point of tile textures is to save texture space and get better definition. Anyway,on videos i'm seeing,use tiles textures all over the UVW's,then he places the UVW seams anywhere and it fits,since it's gotta fit due to tiles. However,it… -
