I feel your pain! The retopo tools in Blender are really good, but sometimes dragging poly by poly is best. I am working on the most difficult character so far and using shrinkwrap is a question of getting used to the process. You could transfer a remeshed version of the model and just alter it but if the model is intended…
It depends on the size of your studio, where I work object artists are asked to concept out things for themselves plenty of times. As long as you have basic drawing skills you should be able to come up with a quick sketch of what you intend to create. These concepts are usually just for the leads to see, so they can get a…
Eric: Thanks for the comment and critique. Yah I plan to reduce the texture when all is said and done to a 1024 square(for FSP) and a 512 square for environment prop, I just like to work at a higher resolution then reduce it down when its done. I can understand what you mean, it was intended to be used as a utility style…
Oh, that's a really good idea. I haven't even thought of the possibility. :poly136: If he has no problem with the noise he saved a few bucks. Yeah, the Z-Chips (in tandem with CPUs that have a k at the end) are the ones that allow you to overclock your CPU by raising the multiplier. The reason to go with H boards is the…
I like the idea of a modified or personalized, but being a nerd about how weapons function, this MP5 would come off as a bit silly since it would throw the performance of the MP5 off. The construction of the bayonet knife attachment would lead me to believe that it would probably be a bad idea to use it with 2 hands. I…
I think there's been some misunderstanding from my perspective on what the user was intending to do then, because my impression was that this method would be used throughout this user's entire modeling process. Clearly I'd taken the word "sometimes" as "often". @OP some hard rules if you use intersection geo: 1) Never…
@ferrettank - You are speaking my language :) I have some future plans on breaking up that light but you are spot on with the visual attraction the ring has ...if I cant subdue it I might counter it with something near the top of the window to at least counter it and bring the viewer back out into space. It is a mini city…
be very careful, DA has an extremely ugly user contract...They get a lot of free rights to your art, your name, your likeness, etc...I consider it generally to be a really bad idea to put any work on DA because they could jump through a few easy hoops and completely screw you over if they ever felt the need or desire. I…
I took part in the Shogunate Artstation Challenge last year - with quite the overflowing shedule calendar - so now I'm taking care of some retouches to shape it the way it was originally intended. here's the original submission And this is what I got so far (in video to show animations and light)…
I really like the mood and the way you paint but it feels a little weird to me because of three things: - The perspective lines of the river don't match up witch the high horizon. Maybe you intended the weird shape but a real river wouldn't go smaller in a bend like that. - The scale looks off. The rocks at the side of the…
