Hey! Thank you so much for investing all that time of yours trying to help me, I really appreciate it. Thanks to you the issue is now solved and I can finally proceed with texturing my mesh! And yes, I'm relatively new, I've been trying to learn 3d modeling and texturing by myself for the past year or so, even though at a…
Really awesome stuff, Tor! Quick questions :) I'd say you're at such a high point in both art and technicality which most of us aspire to have some day. In your projects, how often do you come across problems you haven't solved before? Do you have all the steps planned out to expect smooth sailing from the beginning? (--…
I think a less detailed version with a larger contrast between sharp and soft shapes could really improve this. The reference shows a nice balance in shapes, and I think you kind of did away with that by making it all smoother. The kind of creepy 'micro detail on macro shapes' thing you went for with the texturing is neat,…
I love Wacom Bamboo. ~ Eh... Just thought I'd say that. Post: If I were you I wouldn't bother with the Intuos range. The nibs wear out so frequently that you'll soon have spent more in nibs than in the actual tablet itself. Why Wacom haven't sought to solve this is clear; they want you to keep buying from them. A sort of,…
Hey, yes, I just tested it. The V-Ray rendering of the material does look a lot more like it does inside Substance Painter. I used a standard V-Ray material with glossy fresnel ticked under options in the Mat editor. Problem solved for me. You could say, it was about time, but now I am actually just glad that it finally…
It's surprising that this actually works, but it does! I have started writing notes and planning programming stuff using my wacom, rather than typing, and the relief is quite noticeable :) It also seems that my programming problem-solving skills improve when I'm using a pen and seeing the handwriting on the screen, rather…
are you an artist? get a portfolio. nobody cares about your resume, it doesnt matter if your a 12 year old with magical 3D powers (unless that would count as child labor, then its illegal and a problem, but you have magic powers so I guess its OK anyways). and if you dont have experience, dont freaking have an experience…
@robomaniac thats a great idea. also thought a lot about this. But for now I think we will stick with what we have. because when we try to use a character now with real arms and a rig etc. there will happen tons of new problems we have to solve again. my schedule is tight and maybe I will just stick with the idea for now…
oliver: i added some engravings, so i hope that solves the issue... fenyce: i tried to add some sharper hihglights but im not really getting a metallic feeling from it... what do you think? i feel that maybe i should break up the symmetry by adding a dagger or something in hes belt. also im going to make the beard longer.…
Asked my buddy Michael Lindsay to rig + pose her. Some tweaks to be done and I think I'm gonna have to throw a corrective morph over the top to solve the collapsing behind her knee thats happening due to the extreme angle. Started working on her hair. Theres something off about it, especially from a distance but I think I…
