Re: Sketchbook: Csaba Baity
thx! it's about 8000 triangles. i know it's a little much for an only diffuse character, but it was marely a practice for hand drawn textures. i should find a good technique for pojection texturing though. most parts here were made in ps, since i find it hard to paint fine details with viewport canvas or body paint. their… -

Re: Optimize the Scene
Your render times are taking forever because of your lighting, not your geo. Anytime you use volumetric/bounce lighting and thinks like that, your going to have to wait for the lighting to calculate. Same thing with raytracing and whatnot. That said, 80k is just ridiculous for this scene. Show us some wireframes so we can… -
Re: [Portfolio] Helba/Lisci Marco (Presentation + critics and advice request!)
these images mean nothing to me.. if you are going to use thumbnails of images make them of something worthy of me clicking on them. I cannot tell what they hell they are so why would I be interested to see more? Not trying to be harsh, just it's such a large thumbnail but wtf is it? Save your images > Save for web, took… -
Re: SOLVED: Reopen custom materials as a project?
If I correctly understand you there is a way to do it but thru file edit. If you go to your QUIXEL folder ...\script\presets\Materials\... or your shared presets folder you can find a .xml file called like your material (just search it there).

Re: Monthly Noob Character Challenge Discussion
I've been in the mood for some character lately and this comes in at the right time i guess :D . On the topic of the concept, having taken part in some of the Environment challenges, I'd say do as they do it. At the end of the month there's still quite a lot of difference in the execution of the piece even if they're all… -

Re: Mudbox serious painting problem
That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that you can subdivide the model in Mudbox and paint on the subdivided model. You can subdivide it without smoothing it so the geometry stays intact. A few subdivision levels should give you enough polygons for Mud to properly paint on the object you're working with. After… -
Re: Degree and College Advice
A degree helps with Visa - you don't need a degree to get a job, it's based on your portfolio. You'd be crazy-nuts to turn down a free degree. As far as not liking the people, you'll find a lazy, uninspired student body in most for profit colleges - they open the doors for anyone willing to take on $40-$80k of debt (or… -
Re: Hard Surface Kitbash Libraries - Canisters/Bolts/Knobs
Thanks for all the nice comments guys! I had a lot of fun making all these pieces. It was sort of therapeutic in a way. Poinball - I don't really have exact numbers, I wasn't super careful in making these super low or anything... but I would imagine the canister set is around like 8000 tris per asset in the base mesh.…
