Hello all. As a long time lurker, I decided that I wanted to finally join the polycount ranks. I have been working on this character in my free time for a couple of weeks. I do have some WIP screenshots around if anyone has any interest, but as you can see it`s nearly done. I might get around to a little base for him, but…
Being once ok at drawing at school I neglected my skills when things like work, a job and adult life got in the way so I decided a few months back to try and sharpen my skills again as drawing skills often complement 3d skills. Basically I was wondering what people's opinions are on drawing from books or images on the…
I've been attempting to follow some of the official tutorials for Substance Designer, and I am running into a problem with the material blend node. Whenever the tutorial uses it, it seems to overlay the normal maps of the two materials. When I use it however, it seems to just copy one over the other, and half the data is…
...and I will say that I have been fairly pessimistic about the upcoming Transformers movie. There are already significant changes rumored, the Camero product placement version of Bumblebee, and I know Michael Bay has to screw with everything. All sorts of stuff seems likely to converge in a less than satisfying fashion.…

The color is rather boring, and the wear doesn't make much sense to me... or is that dirt? Either way if its wear it would happen along the edges the most, and the dirt would collect more subtly in the grooves. Also rust, rust stains, and water stains would make it look at lot better as well. Add some color and variation…
Hi guys. I spent some time to progress in the project, so i created my trim sheet and modelled some of my assets, to just put them into UE and see how it will look like. I probably will only focus on the church area with the cameras and the lighting leading the eye to the pedestal. This is how far i got. It’s not lined up…
There's always going to be some distortion. There's always going to be a slight variance in pixel density. You could turn all those circles into strips if you wanted. Then scale them to match densities. It's all about optimizing, not finding the perfect solution. The front face of your cylinder will always be distorted…
