Re: [Riot Creative Contest 2017] - Ian Touma Davis
Reply by Raidboss_Anivia · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Creative Contest 2017› Riot Creative Contest 2017 - VFXSo I finished all of the textures and uploaded the three views today for Jade Guardian Xayah's Ultimate~ A ton went into my thought process for this and I'll try to post some of it here. I wanted to customize her indicator to give it a jade guardian's feeling while not being too busy. I struggled with making it too noisy… -
Re: Universities UK
/start essay I graduated from Portsmouth in 2007 with a first in BA Computer Animation. The only reason i mention this is because i soon came to realise regardless of the good grade i wasn't prepared technically for the industry due to much of my skillset being self taught and not production ready. This is a problem you… -
Re: May I trouble you for feedback on my folio ? [3D Character Artist]
You have some good stuff in the portfolio overall. Here's a couple of general things though: - You could push the presentation a bit on most pieces. A lot of them are the regular basic sculpting pose without any pedestal or anything. Take the time to present things well. Also, that pedestal on the second 3DPrinting (the… -
Re: Distortion in my UVW Unwrapping - please help
You have to scale the selected areas of the UVs in one dimension (or use automatic 'relax' tool) Your 2nd question is regarding texel density which is a topic on its own. The short answer: is is not wrong per se but it might be wrong per definition if you or someone defines that each objects needs a constant texel density.… -
Re: Maya and displacement maps for hi-poly detail
PSD file doesn't help, using a gaussian blur does though (the image above has a slight blur, the one i just did from a psd file didn't and the triangles visible were far more defined). Is it anything to do with how the tx file is created, are there any options for controlling that? Also, I use black and white images, are… -
Re: Anatomy foundation, how to study
stay away from zbrush when you start, i see lots of people doing that , they "study" anatomy on zbrush and it turns into mushy crap , just play with polygons, use as little as you can to define the shapes, like old school lowpoly models , be sure to study low frequency details ( main shapes of mass of muscle and bones )… -
Re: Warhammer 40k- Landraider
With regards to the 'it looks cartoony' thing. Im just working on diffuse colour at the moment. I didnt want to post a flat looking model so i comped in a light map. Amadreus: I'm trying to avoid going down that route, I want it to look styleised rough like the models but not like its been in a blender :) . needless to say… -
Re: Hand Painted Props, Advice Needed
More contrast on your textures is a big thing. This will create a lot more depth and interest in the textures. Your materials should be rendered like that specific material (metal usually shiny, harder specular, wood not so much, etc). Watch the blurry painting in your textures. It's making your objects appear very soft. A… -
Re: OTs-12
Rule of thumb with normal mapping, if the geometry isn't helping define the silhouette of the model, bake it! I don't think it's necessary for the extra geometry if it doesn't significantly help with the overall shape. Even though if it is self practice, you'll want to keep in the mindset of baking details in instead of… -
Re: WIP of my Hero - Crits & Comments
Cool thanks haz3y for the crits. The volumes that happens to be present in the forearm? You mean the size of it? His forearms are purposefully bigger than normal, but if you are suggesting reworking them to show more of those muscles/define them, i can do that! :) Yeah looking at him here, his proportions seem a little…
