Re: WIP: Hybrid Space Chick
Still think she needs work on her anatomy, though you have spent some time on her lady parts ;) I highlighted the parts that need the most part. Waist - too wide now, think it looked better previously. (Unless you want a badonka ass.) Also most girls don't have that much room between their legs. hands - seem kinda large,… -
Re: How important art is in your life?
I wouldn't even make a distinction. keyboard or paintbrush it doesn't matter - if you're coding to bring your vision to life its just as much a part of your art as the triangles or pixels. Vermeer put together intricate devices to implement his ideas, its the same with coding. You're an artist, beyond that its all tools… -
How would you go about modeling this ? (Zbrush)
Would you only use the zmodeler or mix it up with some sculpting or even use both on the workflow starting with the zmodeler and refining with sculpting brushes or anything else ? I ask because all 3 of these pieces that are shown below seems a bit challenging to me(I haven't tried it yet thou). This is ranked from easiest… -
Re: UV offset for Zbrush questions
There are different workflows for different purposes. I am still learning, as you are, but I believe the "detaching into several body parts" is used often for static models that will not be deformed or animated but just used as part of a scene to be rendered out for example, or for concept or paint overs, for ex. However,… -
Re: Colt 1847 Percussion Pistol
I suppose you want some feedback. :smiley: 1) Where did those cuts came from? 2) Is that gold??? I suppose you wanted copper, then, why so yellowish? Copper is more brownish: 3) Why sooo many polygons?? 4) Why so low amount of polygons??? if you want this to be a FPS weapon then this part of the weapon would not be seen… -
Re: Firefly - Zoe's Gun - WIP (Image Heavy)
here's my thoughts: -wood is covered with varnish which is transparent so it generally should have white highlights rather than brownish ones. to achieve this the color of wooden parts has to be the negative of original color from diffuse map. -scope looks like plastic, it's too bright on diffuse map. -on the photo there… -
Re: Class project - "the Mangler"
I think maybe on the texture side you could add some variation of grey towards the sharper parts to show that its a bit more sharp like a lighter grey, it seems a bit too uniform grey at the moment, and also the blood could do with some more variation in its reds , maybe add some darker parts. the top parts blood seems… -
Re: Smooth Normal Map
Alright, I think I understand this more. Normal maps are all about angles. The more of a slope/angle the higher the raised part is. I thought I could create a grayscale map in photoshop, and the ligher parts of the grayscale map would be raised more. But now I understand, the more of a blur the parts have, the higher/lower… -
Re: Reflective Material Shader
Not sure what you mean by multicolor reflective shader. Diamonds, and other gemstones, are one part refraction (the light coming through) and one part reflection(light bouncing off). For reflection, a standard cubemap should do, just darken it a bit before tacking it into the emissive slot so it doesn't look like chrome.… -
Re: Why do so many people seem to hate cgi?
I think a large part of it is that practical effects are such an enjoyable part of the movie making process. Actors are more engaged, and team work is better. it puts more of the work in pre-production than in. At great as CG is, it's much more of a group of hermits working in a closed room. It also plays a huge part in…
