Re: Landscape Layer Blend
I haven't used it since the November build, but here are some of my notes from back then. Be aware this might be wrong now, as the Landscape system was under heavy development at the time. * The height map creates the terrain shape. * The alpha map creates a mask for the layer. There is a different alpha map for each… -
Retopology on Fiddler
Quad Draw in maya offers a variety of features to streamline the retopology process. The Relax tool smooths the distribution of vertices, maintaining even spacing without distorting the shape. The Extend tool lets you quickly add new quads by dragging edges, speeding up the process considerably. Additionally, the… -
Re: Sketchbook: Rickshaw
Right now my focus is on gestures and portraits, I don't really have anything exciting to show when it comes to gestures yet, as they're little more than fat stick figures. But these are some of my first attempts at a more realistic portrait style, from the past week or so. The further down you scroll, the newer the art.… -
Using AI to create hand-painted textures.
Texture projection method The main method of creating texture using AI is to project the generated image onto the model from several angles. Important This technique does not exclude a person from working on textures. AI is a tool that speeds up the process, not completely automated. Also, when working on textures, work in… -
Re: My learning/progression art thread.
Along with learning to draw/paint, you'll probably want to learn as much about the world as you can. And to do it by just studying everything by making drawings of them, and thinking about how they work. Maybe do studies like, focus a fortnight just on copying tropical fish, then one on the fashion of a particular decade,… -
Re: Sketchbook: jddg5wa (My Journey To Becoming a Digital Painter)
That's a good idea, adding the basic shapes to get down the perspective first. I'll give it a try. I really do need practice and improve on my anatomy drawing but I think that should be a whole study in itself. Maybe I'll take a few weeks to study anatomy instead of the weekly drawings; of course after I finish the one I… -
Re: Sketchbook: Jean-Luke Parshall
@Frawmus Thanks, I've been working hard at improving. Ya I don't really know what I was doing with r4 either haha. @Jack Thank you the gravestone was pretty fun to sculpt So I've been pretty busy with midterms and all. Not a lot of time to draw, but try to fit it in when I can. The more I practice the more I feel I need to… -
Re: Adobe Photoshop feedback
A kind of "lazy mouse" feature for the brush would be nice. Other apps like Zbrush let the user turn on a lazy mouse feature that smooths out brush motions over a certain pixel distance. When the person draws the actual drawing cursor drags behind it in a smoothed motion. This would make drawing curves really easy and with… -
Re: Dev4stator's Sketches
First let me say that I am no pro artist by any means, but it seems to me that, when you draw, you focus on little details first and you use finger drawing rather than smooth strokes you use with your arm instead of your fingers. I had a teacher tell me once that you can tell the difference between a finger drawn picture… -
Re: What does it take to be a concept artist?
Self-teaching = bad Getting mentors with 10 years of experience (EACH!) to school you will warp speed you towards being a pro yourself. Heard the saying "You have 10,000 bad drawings to get rid of before you start making good drawing." (Or some such.) It's TRUE! And if you self-teach it'll take you as much as 10 years to…
