Re: How should we teach new artist to be classically trained in the fundamentals of art?
I do not understand what this means. But it is not the first time I have heard this so I feel it is valuable. Can you please elaborate. Now again, I'm not asking for some holy grail formula. Just what processes have been widely endorsed. I am looking through your work and you are clearly very experienced in modeling. If… -
Occult Forces-2
My rendition of Cherry CHE's original character. Huge thanks to Vincent Ménier for his time and encouragements throughout the whole process. The main goal of this project was to improve my understanding of various materials and stylized clothing. During this project I learned to better optimize the more technical aspects… -
Re: What Are Industry Standard Plug-ins for UV Unwraping?
I do 99% with native max tools and the 1% with textools That being said: Unwrapping is an art imo. There are often multiple ways of unwrapping a model which are technically "the same" but can make a huge difference when working with the model - depending on what you want to do. E.g. sometimes you want straighter lines and… -
Re: Looking for critique of a 3D Japanese Onsen Environment
For the hero prop, I think if you decided on a story for this environment first, it would help. If you put something between the two flags, that would really stand out. Maybe a statue or something? I'd also try to find a way for the camera to fit almost the entire scene into view for a shot that allows me to figure out the… -
Re: Church Building
12 hours to apply UVs - especially for such a simple model - does seem quite long. It's basically a series of simple planar projections, and only the various pieces of the roof require normal-aligned (as opposed to axis-aligned) projections. In the future, it might help to apply UVs as you progress, rather than waiting… -
Re: Highpoly to lowpoly workflow weapons
It depends on what you're making. If you are pretty new to the concept of baking, might I suggest doing a series of tests with much simpler objects, preferably ones that are just single meshes and do not require exploding/material ID'ing. A dice with smooth edges and indented circles for the numbers is a good one, as it… -
Re: Portfolio Feedback
Nice layout and portfolio overall.Some observations: -not sure about the text which says viewport/ model, game, level assetc etc.maybe cut it ? -sniper body uv shell is not straight.I'm picky here :) -shading of the body looks a bit like a grass shading, and the metal has a green faloff for some weird reason. -building… -
Re: Portfolio Review
Great layout which is easy to follow. My only crit would be that your Batman shouldn't be in your animation reel since the movement is static. It got some good movement, but it's still a still! I would also but something else then Batman as a first, I think that your other projects talks more clearly. The be honest (and… -
Re: Next Gen Gun modeling & texturing
Contrary to popular belief, your uv layout isnt he issue here. You have way to many fine details in you low poly that are not contributing to the silhouette of the weapon. This in turn is making your uv space crammed making you lose resolution and creating tons of seams. Place this weapon in the view you are aiming for,… -
Re: Normal Mapping Error (3DS 2012/2013, Xoliul Shader)
I loaded up the 3point shader Lite in 2012 and experienced the same problem as above, definitely something to do with Max... I messed around with the smoothing groups and the result is better but still not perfect. The first two images show areas that are good and areas that are bad: The next two show UV layouts and…
