Re: Brushys Blog
Blog Entry #1 - Grass Objects For the past two weeks i've been working on vegetation. A slow process considering i'm overhauling everything! But I thought i'd start on the obvious and make some new grass. Step 1: The workflow for making my grass is a little time consuming initially. You start off by making a simple grass… -
Re: Schooling/Education/College Help :(
Find an inexpensive community college nearby and study art basics. Don't pay out the ass just to learn art basics somewhere. I'd try to avoid 30K in debt if possible. I'm not sure of the prices now, but art basics courses at a community college could be ~$400-600, which is much better vs. 30k. Use polycount or other… -
Re: UV Tips and tricks?
I use headus a lot myself as well. The way I always did things was: - export several objects that need to share the same texture later as 1 OBJ file (sometimes up to 30 objects) - load it into Headus, get some coffee and spend to time on unwrapping all of them - in Uvlayout I group objects roughly together but I dont do… -
Re: Dota 2 + Marmoset Toolbag 2, interest level?
Hi there EQ, thank you for taking the time to post here. Here are a few more thoughts : - First of all, I think that even in its current state Toolbag2 is already extremely Dota2-friendly.

UV Straightening and its perks on LOD generation
This is a topic that has been reoccuring lately and i thought putting the info in its own thread is a good idea. I will be showcasing a method i have been using for way over a decade now, in 3dsmax. Which is to my knowledge the only tool that allows me to do this. Please correct me if i am wrong, i'd love to have this… -

Face-Weighted Normal Modelling Workflow for Large-Scale Environment Props Hi again. I'm going to use the jet engine that appears in my finished scene to give a run-through of the Face Weighted Normal method (FWN from here onward) used to model the large props. To see the FWN workflow in practice, check out Star… -
Re: Sketchbook: Frank Polygon
@orangesky Thanks for the comment. Glad the write-ups have been enjoyable and informative. The short answer is: it depends. Context is really important because, even from a broad perspective, there's some significant differences between organic and hard surface modeling. While there's definitely some overlap in the… -
