Great site Fletcher! Everything is truly inspiring, after looking at all this stuff it really makes me want to do some hand painted models. I do have one tiny nitpick though. Is there a piece of wood trim missing from your lowpoly zeppelin tower? The area where the roof tile meets the stone of the tower, it looks like its…
Tully: love it :) adam: Just the GameArtisans "pawn" chess piece mini-contest. I decided to do something I knew I could finish without any hassle - no sculpting, no normal-map baking or specular/exponent painting, just a simple lowpoly model with a painted texture. Couldn't be bothered concepting anything original anyway,…
[ QUOTE ] i still had a high poly version of the orc (subdevided one which i used to learn baking normal maps) hidden somewhere in this scene and now i'm trying to delete it, but if i delete it the uv's on my lowpoly model are totally messed up. [/ QUOTE ] This is pretty strange. Are they instances of each other or in some…
Another way you can do it is as follows, if everything else fails : -Rework your lowpoly in Max or maya, giving it good UVs, -Import that in your mudbox scene containing your sculpted high, -Create a displacement map to deform the new low (subdivided) into your existing highpoly sculpt. -Collapse the sculpt layers > you…
The smaller stuff as in the "highpoly edges" for baking soft edges. Don't have zbrush do any huge silhouette changes with polish by crisp edges. What's stopping you from trying it right now and finding out...? Anyway, no, I wouldn't do that, because it's better done in blockout to establish the shape and have much more…
😍 I've finished this great project learning blender, I have to thanks @slosh for helping me with the feedback, @Olingova @Phoenix995 @jimsvanberg @polypassion @MichaelF thank you for the great comments and support, and @Tits thank you for following this project from day one ❤🤞❤🤞❤🤞 Sketchfab link:…
More content. This time it's the intake manifold out to the air filter. A few years ago i started designing an intake manifold for naturally aspirated cars and I got to piggy back off of that and realize it as a virtual part. A few other notes- I made the silicone elbow material a tiling setup so now I can make all the…
fbx has the nasty ability to hide the actual values form you as it stores a scale with the file. So obj is a good way to rule out problems with the intermediate format you use to send your data to the baker-app. And try to give your highpoly details some less steep angles. The Normal Map only stores the normal difference…
praetus- The model in the high poly didn't have any pants on at this stage because I hadn't worked on the new pants yet. Funnily enough my lecturer used to say the exact same things. ;) Thanks for your feedback and i'll definitely try to improve on it this time round. ChrisPerr- You have no idea what your comment means to…
I'm not sure that's how it works. You create a portfolio for the job you want. These are oversaturated industries so why would a hiring manager choose someone who doesn't have a clear idea of what their desired profession is? As far as a game studio picking you up without fully completed real time characters... Expecting…
