heading up to Philadelphia this weekend with my girlfriend and her 16 month old son to see the body worlds show at the franklyn institute. right after crossing the delaware border we saw a sign for a toll booth 3 dollars, i go to reach for my wallet and was not paying as much attention to the road as i should have been,,…
Hello everybody. Getting right down to it, I'm currently modeling out an Anti-Tank Rifle (mostly as a portfolio piece, but if it turns out well, maybe I could sell it on Cubebrush or something). At first, I tried taking a bunch of different reference images at 20% Opacity, and overlaying them to generate a sort of "master…
This would be a really bad decision. Videocard matters the most in these kind of applications. Dont take me wrong but your entire system is very outdated and putting a lot of extra ram won't help. The best would be to get rid of it and get an overall better system with a more modern cpu, ddr4 memory and a decent graphics…
Yeah I think the big studios will have to rethink strategy at some point. Can't just keep making games bigger and bigger. Especially for the same price tag. If the scope goes up, something else has to go down. What is going to go down is whatever goes the easiest. If the employees are all spineless about their pay, they…
Thanks for your reply! I'm using triangles and quads, is it bad to use both? my vertex count is: 1244 edge count: 2553 face count: 1306 (so roughly double this for the triangles as I've got less than 20 triangles) triangle estimation ~2600 as for the pose of the character, I should probably use a T pose in future, but this…
Ahh good. A few things about skin. When painting weights it can be helpful to turn off blend weights if you're having applying more weight to a vert and seems to be locked to a set value. If you're not a big fan of skinning with envelopes and want to do it all with paint and hand weighting, it can be helpful to shrink the…
Hey just wanted to say your sketchbook is pretty good. I think youre close to being good enough for a starter character art role maybe you just need that last 20% extra quality. Id recommend breaking down tasks more, instead of just creating entire characters for your sketchbook try to nail 1 thing with real accuracy and…
Well you could argue, but thats more of a simple objection What is meant here are diminishing returns. Exponential increase. At a certain point, things you do will have far greater effect for the same effort. This is very prominent in art, or painting to be specific. You can make very rough strokes and achieve what you…
Found more issues, or my stupidity, don't know which. I had a go at creating a "car". When I put the windscreen in it rendered everything "through" it transparent. The body is a box on to which I placed a rectangle with a grid/mesh texture. I can see through the grid, but I can also see through the bottom of the box to the…
bumbing this thread, with a better name and new questions. btw, i have fixed all the power saving options i could find to "max performance". doesnt notice any difference. how big ztools can you have without noticable lag? my limit is somwhere around 8 mi, and at 20 it becamos unworkable. i thought zbrush should be able to…
