try to model what you see, and not what you think you see. Xoliul is spot on. If you nail all the spacial relationships this could be a really interesting project. Observation is one of the main skills needed to be able to model effectively. I feel however without that, like Xoliul said, the concept is a little dry- no…
My son Loki has taken to raiding our new refrigerator, and one of the things that he can easily reach is our supply of hot sauce. For the last few days he's been pulling out the tabasco and siracha, and saying "Want some hot sauce!" Well, daddy decided to grant him his wish. I poured him a little spoonful of tabasco, which…
First and foremost, this isn't a Max vs. Maya post so keep reading please. I like both programs, somewhat... Aight, so i'm dying a little here I need to know how to do 'X' in maya that i'd normally do in Max. I've searched and searched, but when there's a colossal fuck tonne of posts about maya pre like 2005 it gets hard…
Ok, I really need help or else... I gotta cry! I want to paint albedo (and roughness) info with a paint layer, but the details disappear every time I refresh.. Here´s what I do: 1. apply a paint layer and paint - the viewer changes into some kind of color mode where other material layers/ IDs look off (note the brown and…
@rago Nice silhouettes so far! I like how you're retaining the main negative space in the middle. How many sculpts in total are you using? I've determined I might be able to get away with using only 3 meshes for most of the large forms. @count_crushmore I think that your surfaces could probably benefit by having some areas…
Hey Two. I think at the end of the day as a designer the sorts of decisions you make fall back on your own adventure. Your concept idea has been pretty much the same so I don't think that's drifted too far away (the only thing I can't tell right now is that it's powered by lightning) but your shape language has gone…
It's a direction I see just about everywhere, professional games included. A few companies have taken notice that too much is too much and started to dial it back to realistic levels. That would explain why Chernobyl is overrun with plant life, or plant life rebounded after the initial blasts at Hiroshima? Is that why the…
Well, it's hard to judge the accuracy of that truck without knowing what you're comparing it to. But regarding your other points... The flat matcap basically just shows you model without any shading, without any shadows. It's useful if you just want to check the silhouette of your model without being misled by shading or…
Wasted half a day trying to force chat GPT version o1 to do it . It's the one with "advanced reasoning" and slow as hell. At least it can recognize what's written in such washed signs from a track race video screens . I sometimes can't . No help for recreating it . just fancy pictures. Even when it seems to understand the…
