Re: The joy of manually compiling models
Hmmm thank you, that's something I haven't tried yet. Unfortunately I only own Blender. I've tried renaming the material I assigned to the .smd to the name of the .vmt but that alone didn't fix it. Do you know if there is any equivalent in Blender where I can define the path name? -
Re: Polycounter ends up in hospital due to hit and run accident Please send your prayers
Post count isn't what defines someone as being a Polycounter. If you're an artist who is eager to help other artists, you're a Polycounter. From what I have read and been told, Ana is a true mentor. A Polycounter. Myself and the rest of us on the Polycount team wish you a speedy recovery. -
Re: Newbie looking for feedback
your colors are pretty good, I would try to get a better understanding of 3d space and value. make sure you define your planes and understand your shapes. I would recommend doing black n white studies, only focusing on form and value for a while. good luck! -
Re: Starting Portfolio Character. (A learning process)
Coming along well, too early to tell, but my advise is that when working in Zbrush, try to pack in as much detail as possible WITHOUT subdividing, then once you subdivide, do the same again. At this current, blocky subdivision is when you want to start defining muscles, folds and wrinkles. Go for broke! -
Re: Temple of Alduin (Skyrim FanArt) IMHEVY
Your rocks look too uniform to my eyes. Add in a few more shapes (A few slightly blobby and a few more that are sharp and defined like what you have, but different shapes). It's most noticeable in the far shots. Up close they look pretty great. Other than that, looks great! -
Re: SF Mage girl
Skinner3D haha glad she likes it ! almighty_gir good point. I expected this to be an issue but I like the result at the end. So I will probably keep it but will make sure the volumes are well defined when color is applied as you said :) Jarran thank you ;) dondrapichrust absolutely :) flies only heh -
Re: Noob question: different materials on game characters
What engine? A simple setup would be diffuse, normal, specular(brightness), gloss(size). That is 4 texture maps. Once each texture is loaded up they can be instanced around without using up more memory. With this you will be able to define your materials as you said. [edit] Beat to the punch. -
Re: Rabbit critter character for Overgrowth
I've seen this on the wolfire blog, great sculpt, looking forward to see it rigged in an alpha release :D EDIT: Maybe one thing, the chest to stomach part seems a bit flat, I'd personally like to see it more defined. Well, what woogity said basically! But great work man :) -
Re: Thread for polycounters who are really bad at drawing and feel embarrassed about it.
I made an effort to learn to draw a bit better this year. I'm not sure if this helps, but forcing myself to use a hard edged brush with a high opacity helped me to actually think about defining the shapes I was putting down rather than hiding behind smudges and blending. This is an awesome thread. :) -
Re: Zbrush character model - Royce from Predators
Great likeness, though the ears still need a tad more work ...also even though I'm sure he worked out for Predators, he still had that lanky skinny look to him, I think he was bulked out with his armour and huge gun, so definately maintain that.
